We were in a dense forest, completely different from the beachy area where my cottage stood. The air was thick with the scent of pine trees and wildflowers.
Towering evergreens and deciduous trees created a natural canopy overhead, with moonlight filtering through in silver
streams.
“This is so beautiful,” I breathed, inhaling the fresh forest air deeply,
“We haven’t reached our destination yet,” Nathan replied, his lips curling into a mysterious smile. “Just a little longer.
This is like discovering a whole new world, I thought, amazed at how different this forest was from the beach area.
My wolf stirred within me, delighted to be surrounded by nature. This forest felt like home in a primal way I couldn’t
explain.
After about fifteen minutes of walking, the trees began to thin, and I could see a clearing ahead.
When we stepped into the open space, I gasped as I slid down from his back. He shifted into his human form.
Thousands–no, tens of thousands of fireflies filled the air, their gentle lights pulsing from bright yellow to soft white. They danced around us like floating stars, illuminating the clearing in an ethereal glow.
In the center, Nathan had laid out soft fur pelts and cushions. The full moon shone directly overhead, bathing everything in silver light. The grass was velvet–soft beneath my feet, dewdrops glistening like diamonds.
“Do you like it?” Nathan asked, his eyes fixed on my reaction, revealing a rare vulnerability.
“I love it. How did you-” My voice trembled with awe.
“This is a sacred place for our pack. Legend says the Moon Goddess herself once appeared here.” His voice was low and mysterious. “Now, it’s our special place too.”
I stood speechless, completely overwhelmed by the magical scene before me. My wolf grew quiet within me, as if sensing the sacredness of this place. He found this magical place for me…
Nathan led me to the center where the furs were spread. We sat together, surrounded by the dancing fireflies, their gentle light reflecting in his eyes. He reached out, his fingers caressing my cheek with unprecedented tendern
“May I, my Luna?” he asked, his voice rough with restraint as he waited for my permission.
“Please…” I breathed, my scent sweetening with desire.
“So eager, my Luna,” he murmured, his eyes darkening to deep red with passion, yet remaining gentle.
Under the moonlight, Nathan’s touches were reverent, worshipful. Each caress spoke volumes of his love and respect for

harmony, the bond between us pulsing with unprecedented strength. Every touch deepened our connection–not just
physical but late
“You’ll never know how much I love you,” he whispered in my ear, his voice filled with unprecedented sincerity.
The fireflies continued their dance around us as we became one beneath the watchful eye of the moon. When pleasure
love… finally overcame me, Nathan whispered against my lips, “Release for me, Rachel. My Luna, my mate, my
Afterward, we lay entwined on the furs, his arm protectively around me. The fireflies still swirled around us, adding magic to this sacred moment. My head rested on his chest, listening to the strong rhythm of his heart.
“Rachel, Nathan said, his voice carrying rare emotional depth. Every day, every moment, my wolf has been calling for
you.”
The future might be uncertain, with Carter, Madison, and the impending war, but this moment in Nathan’s arms gave me unprecedented security and belonging.
