“Where’s Mia?” I spun around, scanning the crowd.
Asher remained calm, pointing toward a group of children
gathered near the high ceilings, mesmerized by the hanging
lanterns.
My heart pounded as relief washed over me. “Oh god, I was so
worried.”
Asher smirked. “You’re still not in touch with your senses, are
you?” I spent years without my wolf and honestly I wasn’t used
to rely on my wolf instinct.
I sighed, leaning into him. “You know that I haven’t really had a
chance to adjust.”
He wrapped an arm around me reassuringly. “If you had, you’d
have smelled her before looking.”
I let out a shaky laugh, squeezing his hand. “I just hope this fear fades eventually.” I still remembered the day Isaac suddenly appeared in front of me and took Mia away. After that I was in constant fear of losing Mia again. Maybe that fear would stay

with me forever,
He pulled me closer, his warmth steadying me. “It will. Just give
it time”
I inhaled his familiar scent, feeling momentarily safe. He
chuckled, “You’re going to freak people out if you keep sniffing
me in public”
I laughed, the tension breaking. “I forgot we’re among humans.
Must be nice for them to just live freely without rules or
constant threats”
Asher’s gaze softened as he looked toward Mia, who was
grinning from ear to ear. “Look at her. That’s all that matters
right now”
I followed his gaze, my heart swelling at the sight of our
daughter so full of joy. For once, in this foreign city, with no
obligations pulling us apart, we could just be a family. And that,
more than anything, made this trip worth it.
Violet’s POV
Exploring those ancient buildings and learning about their rich history had been the highlight of my day. It was fascinating,
and the three of us truly enjoyed every moment of it.

By the time we returned to the hotel, night had already fallen. We had spent most of our day out, completely engrossed in our sightseeing. After dinner, Mia was out like a light. She had been running around nonstop, her little body finally giving in to exhaustion. It was good to see her, so happy.
Alex leaned against the doorframe, watching me as I tucked Mia in. His gaze held an intensity that sent warmth coursing through me.
“I have something planned for you,” he murmured.
I felt a rush of anticipation. It had been a while since we had any real time to ourselves, and my body ached at the thought.
“Does your plan involve us getting naked in bed,‘ I teased,
tightening the towel around me as I had just stepped out of the shower.
His lips twitched into a smirk, “Get dressed,” he instructed, winking at me.
I frowned slightly. “We can’t just leave Mia alone,” I pointed out, though I could tell he had already thought this through.
“I’ve made arrangements,” he reassured me, stepping closer. He reached out and pulled me against him, his hands slowly

running down my back, sending sparks through my skin.
The hard press of his body against mine had my breath
hitching. I could feel how hard his cock was through the jeans.
And it made me wet in just a second.
“I’m not s–sure about this,” I whispered, my breath coming out
uneven.
He kissed me softly before murmuring against my lips, “I trust
the person watching her, and nothing will happen to our
daughter!”
His kiss deepened, his lips hungrily moving against mine,
sending fire through my veins. I was already losing myself in
him.
“Then let’s hurry and do this,” I managed to nod as he pulled
away, leaving me feeling lightheaded and breathless. After he
left, I had to grip the wall for support, my thoughts a whirlwind
of anticipation.
Once I was dressed, I followed the sound of voices and found
Asher standing with two beautiful women. My stomach
tightened with unease. Lately, my wolf hadn’t been as
responsive as usual, and I couldn’t even pick up scents properly.

It was unsettling.
“Violet, meet Nihan, Luna of the Red–Wood pack, and Burcu,
their Beta female,” Asher introduced them casually,
I struggled to recall what I knew about their pack, realizing I
needed to start paying more attention to politics.
The two women bowed slightly. “Welcome to Istanbul, my
queen,” they greeted me.
I nodded, still unsure about this. “Is your pack stationed
somewhere close by?” I asked, finding it odd for a pack to be in a
city. Hunters usually went after packs in populated areas.
Nihan gave a small smile. “Yes, our pack is established here.
When the King informed us of your arrival, we wanted to be
the first to greet you!”
