GRAYSON'S POVThe training grounds were alive with the sound of clashing wooden swords and warriors calling out corrections. I moved among them, correcting forms and barking orders, but my mind kept drifting back to Inara. The fever from a couple of days ago had finally broken, but the tension in the pack hadn’t. Liora’s presence was like a slow poison seeping into everything. I could feel it through the bond, small flickers of insecurity from my mate that made my wolf pace restlessly.I was in the middle of demonstrating a strike when Niel approached, his expression grim. “Alpha. There’s talk among the omegas. Liora’s been spreading rumors. Calling Inara ‘temporary.’ Saying the real Luna is back and it’s only a matter of time before things return to how they should be.”Rage flared hot and immediate. I handed my practice sword to the nearest warrior and motioned for Niel to follow me to a quieter corner. “She’s bold. Too bold. I want eyes on her at all times. If she says one more w

GRAYSON'S POVThe late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the pack house gardens, turning the blooming flowers into a sea of gold and crimson. I had just finished a meeting with the border patrols when the bond tugged at me sharply, a flash of hurt and frustration from Inara. My wolf stirred immediately, protective instincts flaring. I excused myself quickly and followed the pull, my steps quickening as I rounded the corner near the herb garden.Liora had cornered her.My mate stood with her back to a flowering bush, her posture straight but her hands clenched at her sides. Liora was too close, her voice low and venomous, that fake innocent mask completely gone.“You’re unworthy, Inara,” Liora hissed, her words dripping with cruelty. “A pathetic shadow who only got the title because I left. Grayson deserves a real Luna - someone strong, someone who can give him a proper heir without playing pretend. You’re just convenient. A second choice no one will remember once I take back wha

GRAYSON'S POVThe evening air was cool and crisp as I stood with Inara at my side in the private council garden. Moonlight filtered through the flowering trees, casting soft silver patterns on the stone path. I had called this meeting deliberately — Liora, a few trusted elders, Niel, and most importantly, my mate. No more hiding. No more letting Liora’s poison spread unchecked. Tonight, we would present a united front.Inara’s hand was warm in mine, her grip steady despite the tension I could feel through the bond. She looked every bit the Luna she was - graceful, strong, beautiful in a simple but elegant gown that caught the moonlight. I squeezed her hand gently, sending a wave of love and reassurance through our bond. We’ve got this, baby.Liora arrived with her usual calculated poise, her hand resting on her stomach. The elders nodded politely, but the air was thick with anticipation.“Thank you for coming,” I said, my voice calm but commanding. “This ends tonight. Liora, your ru

INARA'S POVThe pleasure still rippled through me in gentle aftershocks as Grayson slowly rose up from between my thighs. His lips were shiny with my arousal, his silver eyes dark with love and desire as he crawled up my body. I reached for him immediately, my hands sliding up his chest to his shoulders, pulling him down to me. He came willingly, settling his weight gently over me as his mouth found mine in a deep, heated kiss.He tasted like me sweet and intimate and the knowledge made me moan softly into his mouth. He swallowed the sound eagerly, tilting his head to deepen the kiss, his tongue dancing with mine in a slow, sensual rhythm that made my toes curl. One of his hands moved to my breast, squeezing gently, his thumb brushing over my sensitive nipple until it hardened under his touch. I arched into him with a needy whimper, the dual sensation of his mouth and his hand making heat pool low in my belly again.“Grayson…” I gasped against his lips when we parted for air, but h

INARA'S POVThe garden behind the pack house was one of my favorite places to escape to when my thoughts felt too heavy. Tall trees with silver leaves rustled gently in the breeze, their branches heavy with clusters of pale flowers that released a soft, sweet fragrance into the air. I walked slowly along the winding stone path, my fingers brushing the soft petals of a blooming rose bush as I tried to process everything I had overheard from Liora’s call.The words kept replaying in my mind, calculating, and damning. “This baby isn’t his, and it never will be. It’s for whoever I say it is.” She had admitted it so casually, like it was just another move in her game for power and money. The relief that washed over me was almost dizzying. Grayson had been telling the truth all along. He hadn’t touched her that night. He hadn’t lied to me. The sincerity in his voice when he reassured me, the way his eyes had held mine without a single flicker of doubt, it all made sense now. My mate was
