Chapter 112 ADRIAN’S P.O.V. Her movements were slow, deliberate, as if she carried the weight of something I couldn’t yet understand. Juliette’s grip on my hand tightened as the woman knelt beside my younger self and placed a weathered hand over my chest. Her eyes closed, and a faint whisper
Chapter 111 ADRIAN’S P.O.V. The air in the cave was heavy, humming with a tension that neither of us seemed entirely ready to break. Juliette’s lips hovered so close to mine that I could feel the warmth of her breath. Her eyes, pools of deep amber brown, flickered between uncertainty

Chapter 108 ADRIAN’S P.O.V. The night had settled into a comfortable rhythm.

Chapter 107 TERESA’S P.O.V. The fading sunlight bathed the clearing in golden hues, and I felt Lucian’s hand brush against mine. The warmth of his touch made my pulse quicken. “I wish I could see you right now,” he murmured, his voice low and raw, catching me off guard. “I
Chapter 106 LUCIAN’S P.O.V. The next morning, I woke up feeling like someone had replaced my usual grumpy mood with an even grumpier version. The worst part? My room felt painfully empty. Teresa and my babies weren’t here. She’d insisted on sleeping alone last night, and since I didn’t have
Chapter 105 TERESA’S P.O.V. The weight of Lucian’s words hung in the air, and I was at a complete loss for what to say. Everything he’d just revealed—mates, Lunas, and an entire pack depending on me—felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head. My heart
Chapter 104 TERESA’S P.O.V. The air in the room felt heavy, like it was brimming with secrets waiting to be spilled. I lay on the bed, with my twins nestled between me and Lucian. It was supposed to be comforting, but all I could focus on was the man lying
Chapter 103 LUCIAN’S P.O.V. As Teresa led me into my room, I felt the tension rolling off her in waves. Her hand was firm but gentle as she guided me toward the bed, a blend of resolve and hesitation in every step. When we reached the edge, she softly said,
Chapter 102 LUCIAN’S P.O.V. Adrian’s suggestion lingered in my mind long after he and Elizabeth had left. It was a lifeline—a chance to be something more than this shadow of myself, a chance to protect the pack and my family. But of course, I couldn’t show just how much his
Chapter 101 ADRIAN’S P.O.V. The moment we entered Lucian’s office, Teresa led Lucian to settle onto a couch, his movements deliberate yet laced with a kind of vulnerability I wasn’t used to seeing in any Alpha. Teresa, ever the kind-hearted one, perched by his side, cradling little Ollie while Mai
Chapter 100 ADRIAN’S P.O.V. If someone had told me that my obsessive fascination with Teresa would eventually lead me to this point—standing in the living room of Lucian Blackwood’s mansion, me, a vampire with a coven lurking in the woods and a brand new demon child to call mine—I would
