Once she reached our car, she leaned against it, trying to calm down her shallow breaths.
I stood in front of her, holding her waist. Leaning on to her, I said, “You did great out there.”
I did?”
I replied. She wasn’t just great, she was stunning, dazzling, mesmerizing, I was the luckiest wolf in this world to have a mate like her.
The only way to reassure her and to calm my excitement was to kiss her. So I pressed my lips to hers and she moaned against me. Her fingers slipped in my hair which she clutched rightly. My chest rumbled with need, and I forced her to open her lips. I delved my tongue inside and
splored her mouth like I was doing it for the first time, like I was starved of her. She didn’t move away from me, which meant that she was as needy as me. My fangs must have slipped out because she yelped when they grazed her. Immediately, I removed my mouth from hers and realized that blood had smeared on her lips. Horrified, I cursed myself internally for being so impatient with her.

“Let’s go!” ! murmured, trying to rein in my dangerous thoughts. As I sped out of the human town, I had one more place to visit. But for that I had elaborate plan, So I stopped at a diner where I ordered a few dishes, got them packed and hurried to the car where my wife was waiting for me.
As curved the car toward a road that didn’t lead to my pack, she asked, “Where are we going?”
“Surprise,” I said, smiling. In her presence, I felt like a reckless teenager again, and I had no intention of holding back my feelings now.

Auren POV
I was so nervous ever since I warned Dr. Brown about work ethics in his hospital that I was expecting some kind of backlash from Lucien. However, Lacien told me that what I did was right, and that made me feel better. He didn’t reprimand me for how I talked to the doctor. I just needed his approval. Everyone else could go to hell.
As he drove back to the pack, silence lingered between us. His kiss–it had helped me settle. Tension dissipated and I felt lighter.
When he got food packed on the way, my gaze flickered to thein. The smell of roasted meat and warm bread filled my senses. What was he up to? When instead of taking the direct road back to the pack, he veered off the main path and steered us through the thick woods, surprise washed over me. My heart quickened wondering where we were going. When he said, “Surprise“, I was thrilled. This was a new side of Lucien–one that I loved. One that washed stayed forever.
Moon Goddess, please don’t let me die.
He parked the car and stepped out, grabbing the bags before I could offer help. He took o out a picnic basket and a small bag. “Come, let’s go,” he said, extending his hand to me. With heat rising to my cheeks, I took his hand. He guided me toward a spot where the trees parted to reveal a river.
When we reached there. I couldn’t stop staring at the breathtaking view. The afternoon sun glistened on the surface. The golden ripples danced pver the lazy current of water. A gentle breeze rustled through the tall reeds that were near the river’s edge. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of trees, casting dappled patterns on the bank.
“Over there,” he said, pointing where the wildflowers swayed lazily. Upon reaching there, he spread out the blanket on the grass r edge.
The side of his lips lifted slightly. “Sir,” he said.

Warmth bloomed in my chest as I sat down. He sat down behind me with his legs spread out wide around me. And in that moment, all that mastered was us. I heard the sound of birds chirping and an occasional splash of a fish when is broke the surface. The world here was serene. I could live here forever with him.
“Thanks. I murmured, and on instinct, I rested my back on his chest. He kissed the crown of my head and inhaled my scent. I pretended not to notice the way my pulse jumped. For a while we sat in comfortable silence, listening to the world around us. It felt natural.
“Hungry?” he asked after a while.
I nodded and reached the picnic basket to take out food, but he stopped me. He opened it, to fixing one for himself.

This was the most beautiful gesture anyone had ever done for me. To say that I was overwhelmed was an understatement — I was beyond joyous, my heart overflowing with gratitude. If only I could freeze this time forever ›
He watched me intensely as I ate food. While eating, my mind went to his last name. “Lucien. “I hesitated, unsure of how to bring up what I saw in the Eldermere Temple.
His brows slightly furrowed as he sensed my hesitation. “What is it?” he asked.
I exhaled. “It’s about the time when I was at the Eldermere ruins.”
He stiffened beside me, “You are not going back there.”
I shook my head. “No, I am not saying that. But-” I bit my bottom lip, my eyes going to the river. “At the temple ruins, I saw something.” I turned to him. “It was like a vision. I hesitated before adding. “In my vision, I saw a wolf named Vasol, who came to meet the High Priests of Ekleremere. They offered him his moon–mate, a priestess called Naqua. He–he rejected her.”
Lucien’s face darkened and I recoiled in fear. The playfulness in his features that I saw only a few moments ago, vanished. “Vaslof you say?” he grated. “What else did you

His jaw ticked. “And then whut!”
I took a ragged breath. “Then she cursed Vaslof some Bride Bane’s
“Bride’s Bane curse!” he rasped, his eyes wide in surprise. “Are you sure you heard that?”
I nodded. After I revealed it all to him, my heart fel lighter, like I had shed millennia of weight. But I knew that he wouldn’t believe me. “I don’t know what it means, but when the shadows wrapped around me, I felt trapped in it. Like I would never get out of there. Like I would become a part of shadow wolves.
