“Good morning. Berry, he murmured, his voice still rough with sleep.
Before I could respond, his fingers found my sides and began tickling mercilessly. I squealed, thrashing against him at laughter bubbled up from deep inside we. 1 felt like a teenager again, carefree and happy.
‘Stop” I gasped between fits of laughter.
He did, but only to pull me flush against his chest, his mouth capturing mine in a searing kiss that stole my breath. When he finally released me, his eyes had darkened with desire.
I want you again,” he growled, nipping at my ear. “Berry.”
The nickname made me giggle. Again? We’ve been at it all day.”
“And night.” he added with a smirk.
“Aren’t you hungry? I’m starving after all those… orgasms.” I felt my cheeks heat.
His grin widened. “What was it Seraphine said? Something about stamina and a long battle? I think we’re just getting started.”
rolled my eyes and tried to get out of bed, but he was too quick. His arm snaked around my waist, pulling me back against him.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked, playfulness dancing in his eyes.
I shook my head, amused by this side of him. “You’re such a child sometimes.”
His only response was to press his lips to my neck, sucking gently on the spot where my pulse raced beneath my skin. I let out a groan.
He laughed. “Let’s shower and get dressed. I’m hungry for actual food too.”
The shower lasted longer than necessary. Augustin’s hands wandered over my body, fingers dipping between my legs, teasing me to the edge before pulling away. When I shot him a confused look, he smirked.
‘Dinner, remember? Your suggestion.”
I scowled, feeling the ache of unsatisfied desire. As we stepped out of the shower, I reached for one of his shirts hanging nearby.
“Not tonight,” he said, stopping me. “I want you in something sexy. Let me enjoy the view.”
I raised an eyebrow but complied, selecting a black lace bra and matching panties from the drawer where my things had been placed. I added a short silk robe that barely reached mid–thigh and a pair of black fishnet stockings.
I made a show of rolling the stockings up my legs, deliberately slow, watching his eyes darken as they followed my movements. By the time I finished, his arousal was evident, straining against his pants.
Like what you see?” I whispered.
His answering growl sent a shiver down my spine. His eyes flashed, and I felt Fenris rising to the surface, the dominant energy of his wolf pressing against
- me.

They look good together. Like they match.
Rut not all comments were kind.
“She was other’s Luna, wasn’t she? Not exactly untouched. He’ll tire of her soon enough.”
I felt Augustin stiffen beside me, rage emanating from him. His scent changed instantly, taking on a sharp, dangerous edge. I placed a hand on his arm, squeezing gently.
“It’s okay, I whispered. “It’s can’t hurt me.”
He relaxed slightly, but I noticed how his eyes tracked the woman who’d spoken.
The dining room fell silent as we entered, dozens of eyes turning our way. The sudden quiet confirmed they’d been discussing us moments before.
Across the room, Freya’s eyes widened at my appearance. She shot me a wink.
“Well, someone finally got laid, she remarked dryly as we approached their table.
I smirked. “You should try it sometime. Might improve your mood.”
Freya’s gaze dropped, a hint of pink coloring her cheeks. Interesting. I glanced toward Scarlett and Bryloch, noticing how close they sat, his arm draped casually around her shoulders. They seemed to have made up. In fact, they were progressing faster than any of us.
Augustin pulled out my chair before taking his own seat beside me. As servers brought out platters of food, I found myself studying my friends. We hadn’t been close before coming here—just three women from neighboring packs who occasionally met at gatherings. But circumstance had forged a powerful bond between us.
We were supposed to be prisoners, spoils of war. Instead, we were being treated like queens. For Scarlett and Freya, this was a far cry from the treatment they’d received in their home packs. And for me… My broken heart was healing, learning to open again.
Augustin’s hand covered mine on the table, his thumb stroking my skin. “Eat,” he softly.
As we dined, conversation turned to the attack from earlier.
“They were from Maddox’s pack,” Scarlett revealed, her fork stabbing into her meat with unnecessary force. “I recognized some of them. They used to stand with Della against me.”
“Did you enjoy fighting them?” Bryloch asked, pulling her closer.
‘Hell yes, she answered with a fierce grin.
Freya picked at her food. “Quinn’s men were worse,” she said quietly. “He’d make them… take turns with me while he watched. For fun.”
The table fell silent. Freya continued: “I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.”
‘Matthew was good to you,” Freya said to me. “Even with Isabelle, he never completely destroyed what you had.”

Ne termed to Augustin. You should take over Forestvale completely. Those Alphas are wasting innocent lives.”
Augustin shook his head. ‘I don’t like conqueting other territories. I believe Matthew Harrington will keep the others in line.”
1 caught the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes when he mentioned Matthew, the fear that my heart might still belong to my ex–husband. His is to adorable.
“We’re going out tonight,” Augustin announced as dinner concluded. “To a club in town.”
I looked at him in surprise, knowing newcomers weren’t typically allowed to leave pack grounds.
