KNIGHT “Nirvana, unless you wanna be late for our flight, you need to hurry up, sweetheart.” She’d been in the bathroom for the last ten minutes. I had to go with her plans since she wanted to experience a regular flight without a portal. I picked up the book Alpha Frye gave us and tore off the wrapper. I might as well read a book while waiting. Nirvana didn’t usually take time in the bathroom, but this was my life now. A little patience for my wife wouldn’t do any damage. “Just a minute!” my wife said. It sounded surreal. I was still wrapping my head around that I was married to the most amazing person I’d ever met. The wedding band around my finger and my father’s ring caught my eye. My father’s ring was an heirloom with a head of a wolf engraved on it, and I felt proud that I got the chance to wear it. I opened the book. Evelyn was not joking. It still looked old, though, and it had been translated into English. I found the page that said something about the Guardian. It had

KNIGHT I knew I was freefalling. I dropped, crashing every bone in my body in a devastating impact, rattling my inside, cracking my skull, snapping my spine, and blood began flowing in my nose, from my mouth, from my ears. I felt all the pain in every cell in my body— it was indescribable, unfathomable. The impact was like an earthquake— it shook everything around me, and the shockwave had the dust flying. At that moment, I knew I would not make it. Today, I was going to die. And I was going to die without saying goodbye. One thing in life I learned was that death is inevitable. But I was not ready. I would not accept my fate. Struggling to move a finger, I silently howled in pain, but I was still grateful to be alive. My healing process seemed not to work anymore, or I was already dying, and no one could stop it. They said you could not see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you could not see the truth in a state of anger. Now I saw the truth. The clarity came. I let

KNIGHT “What repercussions?” I repeated when Nirvana hadn’t given me an answer. “It’s done. You can’t do anything about it anymore.” She took the clean shirt Kailin gave her while Zarah was cleaning her healing wound. I was a bit surprised she healed faster than any of us, but she still got hurt. “What you did earlier was reckless. You’re putting everyone in danger because you are too eager to save people’s lives.” “West could have been dead by now if I was two seconds late.” “Thank you, Luna,” West said. “Shut up!” I pointed my finger at West, still focused on my mate. “You may have power, but you can get killed, Nirvana. You were just lying an hour ago, and the first thing you did was jump to the battlefield. That was impulsive and stupid. And what repercussions were you talking about?” She put the shirt on, too calm to piss me off even more. “You were dying. You were not healing.” “And?” “I traded—” “You what?” My voice raised. The infirmary went silent. Everyone seemed t

NIRVANA “Oh, I am,” I said confidently as I crawled into bed, showing him my ass and how wet I was. “Fuck.” I looked over my shoulder. Knight was gripping his cock, stroking it gently. My mouth watered, wanting to devour every inch of his length, lick the precum, and let him fuck my mouth until he came in my throat. Then, I lay down in bed, just as he ordered me to. Breathing hard, he crawled into bed, kneed my legs wide apart, and hovered over me. He slipped his hand behind my head and grabbed me by the hair before he kissed me brutally with a growl. It almost hurt. I moaned in distress, but he didn’t give me much chance to protest. He grunted in pleasure as he thrust deeper inside me, and it took me by surprise I sucked in a breath. I was wet and aching, but I felt so full and stretched to almost uncomfortable. When he pulled out, he quickly thrust it in again. I crossed my legs behind him, and he started pistoning, and I began grinding my hips against his. With his big an

KNIGHT Apparently, Sebastien had an apartment in Paris, where Zarah sent us. We made a quick change before strolling around. Our trip wasn’t well-planned, but we didn’t have time since our honeymoon to Seychelles was canceled. “You look beautiful.” I fixed the scarf around her neck before I held her hand. “So you’ve been to Paris?” “Nah. I hadn’t been out of the country. My first trip outside was through the portal to Italy.” “Really?” I was surprised to hear it. “Yeah. I told you I loved what I experienced with you and wouldn’t change it for anything.” “You haven’t told me how you made the deal.” “We’re gonna talk about it?” We took a taxi to the Eiffel Tower because that was where she wanted to go. She said it would be romantic. I couldn’t remember if I had ever been romantic or given flowers to a girl before I met Nirvana. If seeing the iconic tower would put a smile on her face or add to her experience and memories, then who was I to stop her? I would give her the moon i
