LOGINFIVE YEARS LATER Ariana“Mommy!”A tiny body launched itself at me before I even had the chance to sit up properly.“Oof!” I laughed as my son crashed into my lap.“She cheated!”“I did not!” his little sister protested from the other side of the bed, her blue-green eyes narrowing exactly the way mine used to. “He started it!”“You pushed me!”“You deserved it!” Oh, moon goddess. When will these children stop torturing me and disturbing my sleep with all their bickering? “Kids, it’s seven in the morning. Why are you guys running around so early?” “We want to be fit like Mummy and Daddy!” my daughter grinned proudly.Moon Goddess helped me.I looked toward my husband for support, but Knox had pulled a pillow over his face, pretending to be asleep. I couldn’t blame him, though.He was in a very long meeting yesterday, and when he got home last night, instead of resting, he spent the rest of the night pleasuring me.My face reddened at the thought, and I had to quickly snap out of it
ArianaIt’s been almost a year since Knox and I had our mating ceremony, and life couldn’t really be more beautiful. My parents were happy for us, and they’d officially moved back to MoonStone pack with my siblings a few months ago.Adrian and his mother visited the pack from time to time, and Mrs Wolfe was now kind of an ambassador for our healing sanctuary.Even Finn Gravenhurst, whom I hadn’t seen for a while, came out of his hiding place on the opening of the healing sanctuary. Dr Black, too, came to give his support, and just remembering how wholesome it was brought a smile to my face.Asher and I have kept in touch, and our friendship has only grown stronger. He recently held the mating ceremony with his mate, and it was the most beautiful thing ever. Riley and Cassius welcomed their baby girl a few months back, and she’s the cutest little pup ever. They decided to honor me, surprisingly, by naming their baby girl after me. I remembered how I had cried and cried, and it had t
ArianaI never understood why so many wolves loved running so much, but spending the last few weeks with Knox has made me understand why. Running together was like our favorite new activity now and it always brought me a sense of peace.Because the second my paws touched the forest floor, something inside me just simply let go.The weight of being the Primordial Wolf Queen, the responsibility that came with being the Alpha of MoonStone, the endless meetings and expectations…All of it disappeared beneath the rhythm of my heartbeat. When running together with my husband, I was just simply me…Free.The wind rushed through my white fur as I shot between towering pines, laughing through our bond while my wolf practically sang inside my head.“Faster!” He yelled. “I’m trying!” I laughed.Ahead of me, Knox’s wolf glanced over his shoulder. He was magnificent, enormous, and ancient-looking. His dark grey coat almost blended into the shadows, except for the faint silver markings running a
Ariana After what I could say was the fourth or fifth round, I don’t know, I’ve stopped counting.I lay boneless against Knox’s chest, both of us still breathing hard, skin slick with sweat. His cock was still half-hard inside me, twitching every time my walls fluttered around him. I didn’t want to move, but then he rolled us slowly, staying buried deep as he settled on his back with me draped over him like a blanket. His hands stroked up and down my spine, gentle now, almost worshipful.“Talk to me, baby,” he murmured, voice low and rough. “Tell me how you’re feeling. Did I hurt you?”This gentle, caring Knox that was rubbing my arm lovingly was a stark contrast from the Knox that had fucked me thoroughly like he was trying to punish me just a few minutes ago.I smiled at the thought, getting all wet all over again. I lifted my head to look at him, then I trailed kisses all over his chest until I got to his neck. I stopped at the mark I had placed earlier and just admired my work
Ariana Knox and I couldn’t wait for the ceremony to be over, and as soon as it was, we were running back to our rooms. I had told him I wanted our first time to be after our mating ceremony, and him marking me like that in front of everyone??Yeah…It heightened everything I was feeling and made me ten times hornier. The door shut behind us, and the rest of the world disappeared. Knox’s hands were already on me, possessive and trembling with the same need burning under my skin.He backed me against the wall, kissing me like he’d die if he stopped. “God, Ariana,” he rasped against my mouth, forehead pressed to mine. “You’re my wife now, so tell me you’re ready for this. All of me.”“I’ve been ready,” I whispered, tugging at his shirt buttons. “No holding back tonight, Knox. I want my husband, and I want every single inch of you.”He groaned and spun me around, fingers slow on my zipper even though I could feel how hard he was against my ass. The wedding dress slid down my body like
KnoxThe moment Ariana’s fingers slipped into mine, my wolf went completely still like he’d finally found the place he’d been searching for all his life.This was the day I’ve been waiting for, for so long now…The day I never thought would come in this lifetime, but alas, is here. The MoonStone Elder stepped forward, his silver ceremonial staff striking the stone floor once, the sound echoing through the rebuilt hall.“Tonight,” he began, his voice loud enough to shake the entire hall, “we do not merely witness the union of two mates.”The room fell completely silent.“We witness the joining of two Alphas.” His gaze shifted between Ariana and me.“Two territories.”“Two bloodlines.”“And two wolves who chose each other freely.” The Elder continued.“Before the Moon Goddess…”He struck the staff again.“Before your ancestors…”Another strike.“And before every wolf gathered here…”He looked directly at us.“State your vows.”He nodded toward me first. For some weird reason, my palms
ArianaThe man sitting right next to me could not possibly have a heart could he? The man sitting beside me looked nothing like the mate the moon goddess had given me.I mean even if he didn’t love me did he have to be so cruel? After all, we have known each other for two good decades. Yet, he was
Damian The Volkstanes didn’t call me for a full day. I guess they were still deliberating if they had other options but they called this morning.They finally realized how helpless they were without me. And that in this world? Justice was a luxury that was reserved for those who made the rules.Af
Damian “Are you happy now?” Ari’s mom is with a healer now receiving treatment because of your cruelness. You know how weak her wolf has become over the years.“Why are you doing this to her only daughter? This is so unfair. You’re just a scumbag, you won’t help bring out Ari and you won’t let Cas
LilyIt’s been a long time coming. I mean, for once, Damian was making a move I expected him to.With Ariana’s birthday fast approaching and the whole chaos going on, the group is going to have to kill her before her 25th birthday.But now, I think we have nothing to worry about now because Damian
