I took a deep breath and opened the envelope. Julian's words were as warm as ever.
"Sophia, how's our pup? I'm out on a mission, missing you like crazy. Hope you and the pup are safe. Words fall short, but I'm sending you a thousand kisses."
Missing me. Kisses.
I laughed, tears spilling again. Minutes later, I wiped my face and marched into the healer's den. First, I booked an appointment to end the pregnancy. Second, I applied to the Repin Academy of Dance.
"Sophia," said William Grant, the pack's overseer, "Repin's a lifelong commitment. You graduate, you stay there to work. Coming back won't be easy. You sure about this?"
"Dead sure," I said.
He noticed my swollen eyes but swallowed his words. "If your application's approved, you'll fly out in ten days. Square things with your parents and mate."
"Will do."
I signed the papers without a second thought.
By evening, I pushed open the door to our den. Laughter hit me like a wave. Julian was on the couch, cradling a sleeping pup with the care of a wolf guarding his pack. A man who'd stared down death without flinching was now jumpy at the pup's tiniest twitch. Mom came out of the kitchen, spoon-feeding Chloe mushroom soup.
Chloe grimaced, whining, "Mom, it's too rich. I can't."
Dad pulled candies from his pocket, coaxing her like a pup. "Finish it, and you get a treat."
"Grown she-wolf, still so fussy," he teased.
My legs felt like lead, rooted to the floor. Julian spotted me, handed the pup to Chloe, and strode over, pulling me into his arms. "Where've you been? You look pale. Is the pup giving you trouble?"
His concern was the same as always, but it felt hollow. I turned to Chloe, who shrank under my gaze. The warm vibe in the room fizzled out.
Dad cleared his throat. "Chloe's been drifting, got mixed up with the wrong wolf, and had this pup out of wedlock. He's too young to be dragged around, so we're letting her stay for a bit."
Mom nodded. "The pup's innocent. It's hard to see him suffer."
Chloe stood, clutching the pup, her voice small. "Sophia, I was a fool before, hurting you like I did. Please, for Mom and Dad's sake, let us stay."
I didn't answer, turning to Julian. "They've spoken. What about you?"
His eyes had been glued to Chloe and the pup until I spoke. "It's up to you," he said softly. "Whatever you decide, I'm with you."
Sure he was.
I gave a bitter laugh. "Fine. Let them stay. One big happy pack."
The tension eased. Mom scooped up the pup, bustling off to prepare a room. Dad called for a light meal for Chloe's recovery. Julian handed me a mug of hot tea, patting my back like he always did when I was upset.
Then the deliveries started-toys, formula, diapers, even a fancy foreign breast pump. Workers asked where to set up the stroller. I picked up a receipt that had fallen, Julian's name glaring back at me. I smiled faintly.
Julian snatched the receipt, his voice tight. "It's too noisy out here. Let me get you to your room to rest."
I didn't argue, letting him guide me back. He tucked me in, meticulous as ever. "There's mushroom soup simmering, your favorite. I'll check the fire. Be right back."
My eyes followed him as he left, heading straight for Chloe's room. My heart didn't even twinge. What was the point of clinging to a wolf whose heart was elsewhere?
I got up, started packing, clearing out anything tied to Julian. It felt. freeing.
Then the door swung open. Julian and Chloe stood there, his gaze locking on my suitcase. "What's with the packing?"
I closed the case, voice calm. "What's up?"
He hesitated. "Mom thinks the east room's too dim for the pup, no sunlight. So-"
Mom walked in, cooing at the crying pup. "Sophia, your room gets the morning sun, plenty of space for the pup's things. Chloe and the pup can stay here. We'll get you a new place."
I looked at them-Chloe cowering behind Julian, him leaning forward like I was some threat.
"No need," I said softly. "It's just a room. They can have it."

The Offering of the Blood Moon
In the savage and intoxicating kingdom of the Legion, the Blood Moon does not simply rise it awakens a hunger that demands to be satisfied... by flesh, by fire, by fate.
Kiana was raised to hate the beasts and fear the shadows, to believe that being taken meant losing everything. But when she is torn from her village and delivered into the arms of Silas, the Alpha King, she discovers the truth is far more dangerous
Her greatest threat is not death.
It's the way her body betrays her in his presence.
Silas is dominance carved into living form iron muscle, quiet authority, and a darkness that wraps around her like a slow, suffocating promise. He is a king who does not ask, He takes,He commands, He owns, Yet the one woman who should fall at his feet dares to meet his gaze, challenge his control, and ignite something wild beneath his carefully restrained power.
And Silas... does not walk away from what tempts him.
Their connection is immediate. Violent. Addictive.
Every clash of words burns hotter than the last. Every step closer feels like crossing a line neither of them can uncross. The tension between them coils tight, thick with heat and unspoken hunger, until even the air feels too heavy to breathe.
In the quiet shadows of the royal chambers, where the moonlight spills like liquid silver across bare skin, resistance begins to crack. The scent of cedar and rain clings to him as he closes in, his presence overwhelming, his touch slow and deliberate-like he already knows exactly how she'll respond.
And she does.
Every time.
His hands don't just touch they linger. Claim. Promise.
Every brush of his lips is not gentle... it's consuming.
And when his mouth finds the sensitive curve of her neck, Kiana's defiance falters, her breath catching as something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous rises to the surface an aching, restless need she cannot fight, no matter how hard she tries.
Because this is not just desire.
It is a bond that burns.
A pull that tightens.
A hunger that refuses to be denied.
Yet the closer they get, the more dangerous the line becomes.
Between control... and surrender.
Between hatred... and craving.
Between captor... and something far more consuming.
Because under the Blood Moon, nothing is ever halfway.
And once you're claimed...
There is no escape.

I died once. Betrayed, broken, and discarded by the most powerful man in New York.
Now, I'm back. Reborn on the very day my husband, Dante Moretti, handed me an expulsion agreement. But this time, I know his secret. The coldness in his eyes isn't cruelty; it's a slow-acting poison, a betrayal creeping through his veins, fed to him by those closest to him.

It took seven years for Ethan to convince me I was the center of his universe, and exactly seven weeks for his "business partner," Chloe, to prove I was just a placeholder.
I was the woman who ironed his shirts and managed his schedule, yet she was the one he comforted at 2 AM.
But the real end didn't come with a fight. It came with an explosion.
At a family gathering, a gas heater malfunctioned. Glass shattered, and fire erupted. In that split second of life or death, Ethan didn't look for me.
He threw his body over Chloe.
He shielded her from the flames, cocooning her in his arms, whispering frantically to her while I stood twenty feet away, watching my boyfriend of seven years act like I didn't exist.
When I confronted him later, he didn't apologize. Instead, he let Chloe carve her initials over ours on our anniversary tree.
When I tried to stop them, he shoved me into the dirt to comfort her over a broken nail.
"You are dead to me, Ava," he screamed. "Jealousy makes you ugly."
He thought I would beg. He thought I was an appliance he could unplug and plug back in whenever he wanted. He was arrogant enough to believe I would always be there, waiting for his scraps.
He was wrong.
While he was playing hero to his mistress, I didn't cry.
I booked a one-way ticket to Portland, snapped my SIM card in half, and vanished.
By the time he realized the silence in his apartment wasn't peace, but abandonment, I was already gone.

My husband, Roger Harvey, was a renowned top-tier lawyer in the industry, but he could never remember anything outside of his cases.
He never remembered my birthday or our wedding anniversary.
Every night he stood at the bedroom door and asked politely yet distantly, "Is this the one?"
He could not even remember my name or what I looked like.
To make him "remember" me, I hung our wedding photo on the wall with a label underneath. "Anniversary: May 20."
I put a nameplate on the bedroom door that read "Bedroom."
I even labeled everything in the house with sticky notes that explained in detail how to use each item and its background.
I thought it was a side effect of his high-pressure job, so I never complained.
That changed the day a multi-car pileup sent both me and his childhood friend, Sylvie Gordon, into the emergency room at the same time.
He rushed frantically to Sylvie's bedside and shouted in a clear, urgent voice, "She has tachycardia. She caught a cold last month but no fever."
The nurse handling the rescue grabbed him and asked, "Sir, your wife is also seriously injured. Does she have any medical history or allergies?"
He turned his head, looked at me covered in blood, and shook his head blankly. "I don't remember."
In that moment I finally understood. He was not forgetful. His memory was astonishingly sharp.
He simply reserved that precise, precious memory for someone else.
Everything about me he had never cared to keep in his heart.
This was a dramatic tug-of-war between love and betrayal.
It was a heart-wrenching journey of self-redemption.
Yet when I decided to leave, he was suddenly filled with panic...
