Liya’s POV"Don't worry, Luna Hana," I promised, squeezing her hand back. "I won't forget you. As soon as things settle down with the pack, I'm getting you out of here."She gave me a smile and turned away from me, her gaze distant. "I appreciate that, Liya. But for now, I'm content to stay hidden. The last thing I want is to cause you more trouble."We hugged, my heart warming towards her, a silent promise hanging in the air. Then, with a final wave goodbye, I turned and left the den.The walk back to the main house was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Hana's words echoed in my mind: the triplets were trying to change. Were they really?A part of me wanted to believe it. After all, Gunter's apology had felt sincere, and his suggestion to visit Hana definitely wasn't a controlling move.But the other part of me, the part that still held onto the hurt and anger, remained skeptical.As I approached the house, I saw the triplets waiting for me on the porch, their faces etched with wo

Liya’s POV"Alex?" Gunter scoffed. "Absolutely not! We can't just send one of our best warriors to live amongst rogues!""Why not?" I challenged; my voice laced with irritation. "Isn't that what you want? Trust? Open communication? Sending Alex would be a perfect first step.""It's too dangerous," Hunter argued, his voice calmer but no less firm. "We can't risk his safety."I rolled my eyes. "Please, spare me the dramatics. Alex can handle himself. Besides, if you're truly serious about building a future together, a little risk is inevitable."They remained silent; their expressions unreadable. The tension in the room was so thick I could practically chew on it.Finally, Gunter spoke. "Liya," he began, his voice heavy with regret, "we appreciate your suggestion. But sending a liaison to your pack… it's simply not possible at this time.Frustration bubbled up inside me. "Not possible? Or not what you want?" I pressed, my voice rising slightly."Both," Ryder growled, his eyes flashing w

Liya’s POVA knot of unease tightened in my gut as the triplets and I huddled around the table in the study, piecing together the puzzle of the recent attacks.My wolf, being my other sense of reason (well, reason when it wasn't telling me to have sex with the triplets in completely inappropriate places), stirred within me.'There's something wrong, Liya,' she rumbled in my head, 'I don't like this.''What do you mean?' I pressed, feeling a little spooked.'I can't explain it,' she admitted, 'but the danger isn't over. The vampire… it feels like it's coming for us.'Coming for me? Why? What did the vampire want?I probably thought that out loud because my mates snapped their heads towards me. Shock and dread displayed on their features.Oopsie."Why would it be after you?" Ryder finally asked, his voice skeptical.I hesitated. "Because of the Moon Wolf," I admitted. "Now that my identity is out, maybe the vampire sees me as a threat."The triplets didn't respond immediately, but I cou

James.I opened my eyes to a view of clouds floating everywhere around me. I didn't know at first what to make of it until I looked below me and saw that I was indeed floating. I nearly screamed out my lungs, but then I saw another very incredible thing.Just before me, walking on the sky like it was a physical road, was an old woman. She seemed to be holding something. Her hands seemed folded that way to give the impression of her holding a thing."Do not be afraid! I come to give you a present," she said. I looked at her and did not see anything that looked even remotely like a present in her hands, but she still kept walking towards me. It was an entirely strange experience, and the strangeness only seemed to increase in strength as time went on."Stretch out your hands," she commanded. I felt my body having an irresistible urge to do as she said. And I did, stretching my hands to receive whatever gift she had for me.She stretched her hands too in a manner that seemed like she was

Liya’s POVThe next few days, we began investigating and looking for clues. Each time we would think we were onto something, it turned out being a dead end.But all our efforts were not futile. We had arrived at a few facts, though they did not really help.We were brainstorming next steps to take in regards to our current lead. We needed a way to track this vampire, and fast.Suddenly, a voice piped up from the back of the room. It was Alice, the werewolf mate of a pack member.She was pretty, and I liked her big ears. She had blond hair and sharply upturned ears due to a mis-transformation with her wolf.I was certain she has gotten bullied for it, but I thought it was the cutest ear I had ever seen. She was shy, that was a taken."I might have some information," she said hesitantly, her voice low and cautious. All eyes turned to her, curiosity and suspicion warring in their gazes."Let us hear it, Alice," I said, my tone coming off a bit too sharp, but in my defense, it was due to
