1 can’t believe I just showered in a giant yacht. Dabbing my hair with the plushest towel ever, wrapped in an even softer robe, 1 grin at my reflection. Emris is showering too, and I don’t know he may be out but I’m not ready to face him.

I’m smiling too hard at his dumb jokes, touching him way too easily now. Bridging the gap-oh, Tiffany was right.

Oh, moon goddess… throw something my way to snap me out of this before it goes too far. One date with him, and it’s rewriting everything? My vows, the heartbreak….he’s drawing something new, and I…well, I love it.

“Demi?”

“Coming!” 1 toss the towel anywhere and step out of the exclusive yacht bathroom, padding past the teak walls and ocean- view mirrors toward the cabin.

There he is.

Also in a robe. Hair wet, darker than usual, dripping onto his shoulders. The difference between my robe and his is that he’s about four men tall. Four men big. And his robe isn’t really tied his waist or anything. It’s just… hanging open. Showing me his chest and all of it.

He lets go of the remote, and a movie starts playing on the scree at the foot of the bed.

“I’m full,” I say, taking a seat on the ridiculously large, marshmallow-soft bed. “But I’ll have some of that grape.”

Emris’s robe shifts even more as he reaches for the bowl on the side table, and his toned abs…like, really toned appears right in front of my face.

“Here you go, my queen.”

Emris sits on the bed beside me and takes up a good amount of space. I pop a grape in my mouth and stare at the screen. Movie light dances over the sharp angles of his face; he’s locked and chuckling.

Demetra, act normal for once.

But I can’t. It’s literally perfect here. What more can a girl ask for Her mate. The darkest night, yet it’s the brightest. Emris is right next to me, and he’s chuckling now at whatever’s happening on screen.

“What’s funny?”

“You’re not paying attention?” He turns, eyes crinkling with that killer smile.

“I… I was.” Lie. I was staring at him.

“That’s Alpha Creed. Hunted by a vampire rogue…” He whispers hot against my ear on the pillow. I fixate on his lips.

“Hmm… and?”

“That means you’re not paying attention.” Emris steals a grape from my hand and I slap at his fingers.

“I am. Go get yours.”

“W-what?” He laughs, pointing at the screen. “So who’s that?”

“Um, the Alpha.” Duh.

Mid-explanation, the Alpha lunges onscreen with claws out to shred the rogue. Suddenly, the vamp yanks his heart straight to its chest in a blur of gore: blood sprays, ribs crack wetly and I shriek, burying my face in Emris’s chest! When I peek up, Emris is watching me intently and his gaze darkens as if he’s being contemplative…. then he mouths, Fuck it, and kisses me.

His mouth crashes heavy but beautifully. I suck his bottom lip between mine, taste whatever he was drinking earlier, something sweet and dark, and then his tongue fills my mouth and I moan-

Hands on his face, I yank the robe loose from his waist-

All of a sudden, Emris stops just when I’m lost in it!

“I want more… than this.” I squ

up at him….confused. My hands still flat against his sculpted abs and he’s above me, using his own strength to hold himself there, not letting his weight crush me.

“I want more than this, Demetra. I love our sex…trust me but I want everything else.” His your life.”

“Are you…” My chest gets hot. In the past, this is what we were about. To me, he was my greatest mate. To him, I was his bed mate. If I ever thought there would be a time where Emris would want more than that, I would say it’s a lie. But this is that

time.

“Are you saying you want to be my boyfriend?”

“Yes. Your boyfriend. Your destined mate. I want to fix and correct everything….you should’ve been my Luna, mother of our pups. But I am willing to start over. So… boyfriend, I believe.”

“Our packs hate each other.” I counter, shifting under him.

“It doesn’t matter-”

“My brother hates you. You hate my brother. Your mom despised me since I was born. Everyone in our families loathe each other.”

“Only matters what you think.” His breath fans hot over me so my heart turns to mush.

“That’s not true.” I push myself up, forcing him to move off me. sit on the edge of his bed and refuse to look at him. Will his mom even like Amira? Absolutely not.

“My pack knows you’re my mate. I announced it-”

I turn my neck very fast.

“Why the hell would you do that!?”

“Because you are mine.” Emris growls, and the sound rumbles through the cabin. “Because I’m set on winning your heart. And I like to think that you are falling in love with me again.” His eyes pin me in place. “Am I… wrong?”

I don’t answer. Because I don’t want to lie. And I don’t want to admit the many lies I already have.

So instead, I throw out an obstacle. Something he can’t answer. Something that will make him stop talking about this.

azy is it

“How

you think you can change everyone’s minds? Your mom wouldn’t like me with a gun to her head. Me as your Luna… ever thought what that does to my daughter?”

“It will make her mine.”

My heart starts skipping. Really, really bad.

“Wait… what?”

“We can just say she’s mine.” Emris licks his lips. Barely. “The dates make sense. We can lie that she’s my real daughter. Her father is dead, so really…what’s the obstacle?” He tilts his head. “Throw me another one.”

“1-“I shake my head, scrambling. “Slade hates you for what happened between us in… in the past.” My breath is shallow now. “And what do you mean lie to everyone that Amira is your daughter? That’s insane.”

“I’ve always wanted a daughter so it’s not insane. And if you don’t want Amira to be mine…then let’s make a kid now. So we can have a better, legit reason to be together.”

I inhale and do a thousand blinks. I get ready to glare at him but Emris looks serious.

“W… what?” I scooch back on the bed. “You’re not being serious right now

That dark look in his eyes says otherwise. He’s not kidding. Not at any point in

time.

Someone screams in the movie and it makes me jump. I turn to look at the screen for just one second-

When I look back, Emris has taken off his robe.

He stands in front of me like a freaking titan…just in his underwear. His chest is all hard lines and his shoulders are bucked and I-
