MIA’S POV
Months had passed since the battle with Keith, but the scars-both seen and unseen-remained. Yet, I had won.
Not just the fight. Not just my life.
I had won myself.
For the first time in forever, I was at peace.
I stood before the werewolf world, my silver gown flowing in the wind, my white wolf aura glowing softly around me. The night sky stretched endlessly above, the full moon shining like a proud mother watching over her child.
“The Moon Queen.”
The title was whispered with reverence, spoken with respect.
I had proven myself. Not just as a white wolf. Not just as a Luna. But as a leader.
The packs had united under my rule, their loyalty unwavering. They no longer feared me; they believed in me.
And for the first time… I believed in myself, too.
The brothers stood before me, their expressions nervous yet hopeful.
Months ago, I would have laughed at the thought of forgiving them.
But now?
I exhaled slowly, looking at each of them. Xavier, Sean, Nathan, and Rolex.
They had suffered. Fought for me. Bled for me.
And even when I had pushed them away, they had never stopped loving me.
Their eyes searched mine, waiting, hoping.
I took a step forward, my voice steady, firm. “I forgive you.”
Sean’s breath hitched, his fists clenching as if he was holding back from grabbing me and never letting go.
Nathan’s lips parted, his usual smugness replaced by raw, unfiltered relief.
Rolex exhaled, his jaw tight like he was forcing himself not to break down.
Xavier… Xavier just looked at me, his eyes burning with something deeper than words could express.
“I forgive you,” I repeated, softer this time. “Not because you asked for it. Not because of the bond. But because I want to move forward.”
I reached out, placing my hand on Xavier’s chest, feeling the steady thump of his heart. “This time… we start over.”
His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me in, his lips hovering over my forehead for a second before pressing a kiss there.
I closed my eyes.
Yes.
This time, we start again.
The moon festival was the most beautiful night of the year. Fireworks lit the sky, the air filled with laughter and music. Wolves danced in their human forms, celebrating under the moon’s watchful gaze.
Daisy held Tristan’s hand, her cheeks flushed. They were finally trying.
I smiled at them before walking towards the edge of the festival, where the moonlight seemed…brighter.
Then, I saw her.
She stood in a beam of light, her silver hair cascading down her back, her eyes holding galaxies inside them.
The Moon Goddess.
She smiled, her presence wrapping around me like a warm embrace.
“You did well, my child,” her voice echoed inside my soul.
I swallowed hard, my heart clenching. “I never thought I’d make it this far.”
“And yet, here you stand.”
A soft chuckle left my lips.
“Forgiveness does not make you weak, Mia. It makes you free.”
I nodded, understanding now more than ever.
The Moon Goddess stepped closer, her fingers brushing against my cheek, an unearthly warmth spreading through me.
“You will have a great future, my Moon Queen. Four beautiful sons. And one little princess.”
I froze.
My heart stopped.
Four sons.
One princess.
I blinked at her, my mouth opening… but she was already fading.
The last thing I saw was her knowing smile before she disappeared into the night.
I stood at the center of the festival, watching my people celebrate, watching my mates by my side, watching my family safe and happy.
A tear slipped down my cheek, but this time, it wasn’t from pain.
NEXT DAY,
I gasped as my eyes took them in-my four mates, standing before me, shirtless, wrapped in silk ribbons like gifts waiting to be unwrapped. My heart pounded, heat rushing through my body.
Sean stepped closer, his strong hands sliding up my arms. His eyes burned into mine, filled with regret and hunger. “Mia, we’ve messed up before. But tonight, we make it right.” His fingers traced my jaw, tilting my face up. “You are ours. Always.”
Xavier brushed my hair aside, his warm lips pressing against my neck. “You have no idea how long we’ve waited for this, baby.”
Rolex, the wildest of them, grinned as he trailed his fingers down my stomach. “And how much we’ve missed touching you.”
Nathan, the quiet one, cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing over my lips. “Forgive us, Mia. Let us worship you tonight.”
I shivered, my body betraying me as their touches sent sparks of pleasure racing through me. My breath hitched when Sean crashed his lips against mine, deep and possessive, stealing every thought from my mind. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me against his hard body.
Xavier’s lips found my shoulder, soft and teasing, before moving lower. “You taste so good.”
Rolex knelt in front of me, his hands sliding up my thighs, his breath warm against my skin. “I want to hear you moan for us.”
Nathan’s lips brushed against my ear, his voice deep and rough. “Say you want us, Mia.”
A whimper escaped me, my knees going weak as pleasure consumed me. “I want you,” I whispered, my voice shaky with need. “All of you.”
Sean growled, his grip tightening. “Then tonight, we make you ours.”
They didn’t wait. Lips, hands, and heat surrounded me, setting my body on fire.
I was lost in them.
And I never wanted to be found.
