My fingers tug at his shirt, the fabric tearing under my grip, and I feel Eric’s hands on my shoulders, his lips moving lower, trailing fire across my skin. It’s raw, consuming, the kind of heat that could burn this whole pack house down. 

I want more—more of Rick, more of Eric, more of this bond that makes us whole, even without her.

“What the hell are you guys doing?” a voice snaps, sharp and raw, cutting through the haze.

I freeze, my lips still on Rick’s, my hands gripping his hair. I turn my head, slow and deliberate, and there she is—Lia, standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with shock, her face a storm of fury and something else, something that makes my wolf howl. 

My smirk widens, slow and deliberate, as I meet her gaze, letting her see every bit of the monster she hates.

Chapter 36: Blood and Secrets 🐺🔥🌙


I stare at the old man kneeling in front of me, his weathered face carved with age, lit by a strange mix of awe and urgency as he calls me Luna—like it's already written in stone. My heart pounds, confusion twisting in my gut like a blade.


Ain't no way I'm signing up to be tied to these four idiots—Dorian, Eric, Rick, and Dean—for life. The mate bond burns in my chest, a hot, cruel pull, making my skin prickle and my pulse race, but I ain't ready to call this fate. Not when everything inside me screams to run.


Before I can even open my mouth, Dean is already on his feet, moving fast, storming in front of the old man like a wall. His face darken, his jaw tight, and his eyes… gods, his eyes glint like a predator's caught in the hunt.


"Who let you in here?" Dean growls, his voice sharp, low, and dangerous. "You looking to die, old man? Leave before I decide to cancel my mercy."
