Music boom greeted Ciara and her friends when they arrived at the Silver Blood Moon event. Young people from several territories gathered in one place and all looked stunning in beautiful dresses.Ciara couldn’t stop gawking at the excitement of the event. Colorful decorations are affixed to the walls and corners of the room. Dim lights in blue, purple, pink, and yellow twinkled alternately to the same rhythm as the beat of the music.Vaire cheered and greeted some people Ciara didn’t know, then she introduced Ciara to them.“They are patrol team members from another pack. We met during pack joint training,” Vaire explained, and Ciara returned her with an understanding nod.After greeting and exchanging news with them, Vaire pulled Ciara to a table filled with food and drink. Vaire took a piece of chicken wing, placed it on a plastic plate, and handed it to Ciara.“Try it!” she shouted, offsetting the sound of the music that was now playing loud and making the partygoers scream in exc
Ciara had already poured down three glasses of booze, and now she can no longer walk straight. But she was happy, and she saw Godrick laughing with her while holding her arm so she wouldn’t fall.“You’re drunk,” Godrick muttered after the laughter died down and Ciara couldn’t stop hiccupping.A few minutes later her laughter turned to nausea. She covered her mouth and squeezed her stomach as she bent down, and Godrick stopped smiling at her. “I guess I have to stop you.”She shook her head. “No—” She stopped because she choked on spit. “I’m good.”Ciara grabbed another glass and was halfway through pouring the drink over her lips when Godrick caught her hand and took the plastic cup from her grasp.“Hey!” she reprimanded him and took Godrick by surprise. He frowned and put on a sour look.“You know what? You have to stop right now or we can get into trouble.” Godrick stared at her. “Not that I’m afraid of trouble. It’s just that Scott—” He cleared his throat and then mumbled other wor
The video Godrick sent kept bothering Scott. He couldn’t stop imagining that scene when a boy approached Ciara.What happened next? Why did Godrick leave Ciara unguarded so that no man would dare approach her?‘Fuck.’‘Language.’Scott didn’t realize he was voicing an expletive through a mind link, which let Burke and Maila overhear.‘What happened to you tonight, Scott?’ asked Burke.They were running at moderate speed towards the southern border, which separated the Moon Ashes and Silvercrest territories. There, they will meet with the Silvercrest routine patrol team and will share information about tonight’s security.“Nothing,” Scott replied. He couldn’t possibly tell the truth to either of them.But it seems Maila knows more than he thought.‘What else? I bet he was thinking about her. Ciara, I mean,’ said Maila. And Scott heard a low growl of laughter from her and he returned it with a growl of annoyance.‘You should’ve asked her out,’ said Burke.Scott grunted at the sound of t
Scott’s feet moved one by one, stepping closer to the wolf before him. She looked very familiar. The way she moved, the smell, the way she stared at him.Scott recognized her everywhere, and there was a temptation he couldn’t resist.The bond that had connected them for a long time.Mate.Under the silver-red light, the wolf moved closer to him. They were like shadows moving in a rhythm, approaching each other. And as the distance grew closer, Scott found a pair of bright blue eyes that always haunted his nights, appeared in his dreams.‘Ciara.’Her scent was many times stronger tonight. It was so intoxicating and made him want to embrace it and inhale it deeply.His heart was pounding, making his chest tight. His blood was roaring, rushing swiftly through his veins. His wolves rebelled, forcing him to make her his.And that was exactly what he really wanted to do right now.The light flashed and the air pressure changed around them as they returned to their human form.Ciara looked u
Scott didn’t want to rush it, but he couldn’t wait to get a taste of Ciara, either. He wanted to devour her, but he didn’t want this night to end just like that. He wanted to make every second meaningful, to make sure that nothing was missed, and that there were no regrets. Scott wanted to explore every inch of her body, not wanting to miss a speck of her skin.Ciara lay beneath him. Her eyes widened, blinking, long eyelashes shadowing her cheekbones. She wasn’t smiling, but her expression was so innocent that Scott couldn’t control himself. As her glossy pink lips moved and parted slightly, he grabbed her and stiffened when he heard her sigh.He held his body with both hands so as not to pin on her. His legs straddled her body beneath him.“Scott…,” she called his name in a half-whispering and half-sighing voice, and that was so fucking sexy. Damn, she drove him crazy.“What is it, baby?”Ciara raised her hand slowly and pressed her fingertips to his cheek. “Tell me it’s not a dream.
It was one of the greatest moments in her life. As Ciara slumped in Scott’s arms, with her eyes closed and a wide smile on her face, there was a slightest scare that it was just a dream. She was even afraid to open her eyes. She was afraid that he would disappear from her side and she just stared at the empty space in her bedroom.“Ciara.”She heard him call her name, and she felt his fingers press against her waist. She opened her eyes and relief filled her heart when she saw him was still by her side, hugging her tightly.After their first orgasm, they did it several more times until the moon was no longer at the top of the highest sky.Scott picked her up and carried her under a nearby tree, then held her face to face and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent.“Let me tell you something,” he mumbled.“What?” Her voice sounded weak with tiredness, but she knew that this tiredness was only temporary. Her wolf just kept growling inside her head, begging her
Scott took Ciara to the forest near the Silver Blood Moon event. After making sure she got safely to the party area, he moved away from there.Happiness filled his heart until his chest constricted and he was almost sure that soon his heart would explode. He tried to sweep out the grin that was repeatedly tugging at his lips every time he remembered what he had just been through.Ciara was his mate.This whole thing about destiny and mate was so fucking crazy that he had a hard time believing it.She came out of nowhere to his proximity, pulled his strings, and made him crazy, and Boom! She was his mate all along.Scott returned to the border and did his job, combing every inch of the area and making sure things were safe. He waited until the team from the second shift came to take his place. They exchanged information about what happened and Scott almost said that he had met his mate and they made love in the free area between territories.Well, if he said that, no one could blame hi
The Dust Paradise was packed with visitors. Smoke and the smell of sweat and wood polish filled the air. Scott wedged himself through the crowd as he walked into the place. His eyes rounded in fear when they caught a girl who was standing on the table right in the middle of the room.It was Ciara. She was carrying a bottle of beer in one hand and a glass of liquor, which looked like whiskey, in the other. She screamed and laughed along with the crowd surrounding her, twisting her body to the music.Anger burned Scott in an instant. The first thing he wanted to do was punch all the men in there, then burn the place to the ground.He clenched his fists, shoving roughly those who got in his way. They were all thrown aside and crashed into other visitors. Several people protested, but they shut their mouths as Scott glared at them.“Move,” Scott growled at the men surrounding the round table where Ciara was dancing.Ciara turned and looked at him, then a big smile spread across her face.
