• The Lycan Legacy   Chapter Fifty - Rosalie

  I’m back in my own room. A new room. While I’ve been in Aeron’s bed, recovering, he’s had it all sorted. It’s bright, brighter than my old one. The bedspread is a deep dark maroon. It feels opulent. Sumptuous.I walk around, trying to adjust to it. I’ve spent the last few days in Aeron’s space. In his bed. It feels almost lonely to be back in my own.In the bathroom, I stare at my body, at the scars. They’ve healed completely but there are deep lines where the blade cut into me. I stare at the mark too. At Aeron’s mark.It looks different to how I expected. I imagined it more like a scar, but it looks more beautiful than that. I run my fingers over it, feeling the bump from where his teeth pierced my skin. My body instantly responds by sending a wave of something through me and I have to grab the sink to stop myself doubling over as a moan slips from my mouth.Someone knocks at the door and I jump.I’ve been so preoccupied with my own situation I haven’t thought about the fact that I

  “I’m sorry.” Cain says as soon as he walks into our office. “I should have waited. I shouldn’t have barged in like that.”I snarl before I can stop myself, dropping the papers that are in my hands before I crumple them up. Yeah, he shouldn’t have. Did we not agree at the start that we wouldn’t? That we’d share. That we’d give each other time. And yet, it feels like all he’s done is take.“Aeron.” He says, seeing my reaction.“Don’t.” I say back. It’s not exactly his fault. Because Rosalie is also involved. Once again, she’s blown hot and cold. All over me one minute, then recoiling from me the next. I thought we were making progress. I thought we might finally be getting somewhere.“I just couldn’t help it.” He sighs. “After what happened, after her being injured like that. It’s like the mate-bond took over. I could feel it, her arousal, yours too, and I guess I lost control of myself.”The mate-bond. It’s got a lot to answer for right now. It seems to be playing havoc with both me an

  My eyes widen. “Wh, what?” I stammer.“I won’t do anything you don’t want. I can hear your thoughts remember.”“What are you going to do?” I ask. I can hear my heart starting to race, though I don’t know if it’s in fear or excitement.He takes my face in his hands, his lips brush against mine and for once, he’s not domineering. He’s not aggressive. I let him kiss me and as his tongue slides in past my parting lips, I feel my body respond.He runs his hands up the back of my legs. I’m still on top of him and as his hands find my arse, I let out a moan.“Rosalie.” He murmurs against my lips, before rolling so that he’s on top of me and I’m flat on my back in his bed. I stare up at him. He pulls the t-shirt I’m wearing up above my crotch and I lie there. Doing nothing. Letting him do what he wants, what he’s trying to show me.His fingers brush against my pussy over the lace of my thong and, as he watches my face for a reaction, I feel my arousal begin to pour out of me. Apparently, my

  For what feels like days, I lie beside him, beside Aeron. He doesn’t move except to use the bathroom and to make me eat. He holds me, curling his massive body around mine and I sleep so contentedly, as if I really am safe and not in the lion’s lair.When I finally wake fully, the room is brighter, the sun is coming in through a gap in the curtain and I stare at Aeron asleep beside me. The covers are wrapped around me, but his torso is not under them. I look at the tattoos, the way they etch along his arm and across his chest.Without thinking, I touch them, tracing them with my finger. His eyes open and he looks at me. But he doesn’t speak. He just lies there, letting me touch him.His skin is so smooth, so soft. I didn’t expect that. I don’t know why, but with all his muscles I expected his skin to feel tougher. I trace further along his ink, circling his pec as the ink circles it.He lets out a low groan and I bite my lip at the sound.“Rosalie.” He murmurs.“When did you get these?

  I wake in almost complete darkness. My pain is not gone but it feels muted, more like a dull ache. I roll over and realise the bed I’m in is far too big, far too soft, to be the infirmary one.And the smell, I know that smell, it’s one of fear and delight, ecstasy and trepidation. My eyes snap open as Aeron brushes a strand of hair from my face. I’m in his bed. I’m in Aeron’s bed.I gasp in shock and fear too.He’s marked me, is he looking to finish it off, to complete the mating ritual?“You’re still weak.” He murmurs. “You’ll need at least a few more day’s rest to fully heal.”I nod. I’m not sure what else to say because clearly, he wants me to spend the next few days resting in his bed.He pulls me carefully so I’m leaning onto him. I can feel his skin against mine. He’s not wearing anything except a pair of boxers and the t-shirt I’m in has ridden up so that most of my torso is exposed.He takes a deep breath, burying his face in my hair. “You smell so good.” He mutters.I want to

  I can feel something’s happened. It feels like something is tearing into me. I’m in the middle of sorting out a dammed rogue attack and I’m shaking, sweating, my body crumbling beneath me.I need to get out. I need to get fresh air. I rush out of the room and the wind whips at my face.I snatch my phone from my pocket and dial Aeron’s number, only he doesn’t pick up. I call Dylan next, and still nothing.My heart is pounding now. Something has happened. Something serious. And Rosalie is injured.I can feel her pain.I can feel her fear.I can feel everything.It’s rising, as if whatever is happening is getting worse. As if no one is coming to her aid. I snarl. How can that be? We had her guarded, and Aeron is there, there’s no way he’ll leave her unprotected. What is going on?And then I feel it. My body washes with an entirely different feeling. One of elation. One of euphoria. She’s still in pain, but it’s rapidly decreasing.Aeron has marked her. I know it. I can feel it in my bone
