Chapter: 161BRaguelI reached down between us, my fingers sliding through the slick folds of her pussy. She was soaking wet, ready for me. For a few minutes, I circled her clit with my thumb, and she cried out, her hips bucking against my hand. I did it again, slower this time, feeling the little nub harden under my touch.I was tempted to spend the night like that, but the desperate way she was grinding against me told me she wanted more.“Raguel,” she gasped, breaking the kiss to drag in a ragged breath. Her eyes were wide, dark pools of desire and disbelief. “I… I want…”“Shhh,” I murmured, my lips trailing along her jaw, down the sensitive column of her throat. I nipped at the skin just above her collarbone, and she arched against me with a sharp cry. “I know.”I lowered my head, capturing her mouth again as my hands began to explore. I traced the curve of her hip, the dip of her waist. She shivered, her hips rocking in a silent, desperate plea. I could smell the sweet, musky scent of her arou

Chapter: 161RaguelThe morning after I rescued Lyra, we left for a secure estate far from the palace. By the time we arrived, the sun had disappeared, leaving the sky dark. I had chosen the estate because it was one of the few places I owned that the council didn’t know about. It was far enough from the capital to keep Lyra away from curious elders and ambitious wolves, but close enough that I could still reach the palace if necessary.After what had happened, I was not willing to take chances.When the carriage stopped, I stepped down and turned toward Lyra. She was already looking at the estate through the open door, tired but calm. I held out my hand.“Take it slowly,” I told her.She looked at my hand and then at me. “You know I can walk, right?”“I know.”“Because you've been acting as though I'm going to collapse every time I take a step.”I raised an eyebrow. “You were kidnapped.”“That doesn't mean I suddenly forgot how legs work.”Despite everything, a small smile pulled at my mouth. “Hu

Chapter: 160HabeelaI could not stop thinking about Zevran after we parted.His words followed me all the way back to the palace, no matter how hard I tried to push them aside. I kept remembering everything. I still did not know whether I believed every word he had said, and that bothered me more than I wanted to admit.Part of me wanted to forgive him. Another part kept reminding me that he had approached me with a purpose and that everything between us had started as a lie. I hated that I could still care about him after knowing that. I hated even more that when he had looked at me and told me he loved me, some stubborn part of my heart had wanted to believe him.By the time I reached the palace, I had convinced myself that I would give myself time to think before making any decision.Then I saw the guards running through the entrance hall.Something inside me immediately tensed up.I stopped one of them before he could disappear down the corridor. “What happened?”The guard turned toward me, a

Chapter: 159LyraRaguel grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the doorway as another part of the building creaked above us. I stumbled after him, struggling to keep my balance while dust filled the air and small pieces of stone crashed around us. The noise was so loud that I could barely hear myself think, but I could feel his grip around my fingers, firm and steady, and I refused to let go.“Stay with me,” he shouted.“I am trying!”The floor shook again, and I nearly fell. Raguel caught me before I hit the ground and pulled me against his side, using his body to shield me as another piece of debris came down nearby. I buried my face against his shoulder for a moment, coughing as dust filled my lungs. My heart was pounding wildly, and every breath seemed to carry more of the dust into my throat, but Raguel's arm remained firmly around me as he guided me forward.“We have to keep moving,” he said.“I know.”He tightened his grip on me. “Lyra, look at me.”I lifted my head and met his eyes through

Chapter: 158RaguelI followed Lyra’s scent until the palace disappeared behind me and the familiar forest gave way to the rougher land belonging to the Iron Claw Pack.The trail had been easy to follow at first. Her scent lingered on the ground, along broken branches, and across the narrow path that led deeper into their territory. Every step I took made the knot in my chest tighter because I knew what it meant. They had taken her, and somehow they had managed to get her out of the palace without me stopping them.I slowed when the scent suddenly weakened.I crouched beside a patch of flattened grass, pressing my fingers against the damp earth as I searched for even the faintest trace of her. Nothing. The trail ended abruptly.Behind me, two of my warriors stopped at a cautious distance. I could hear their breathing, the quiet movement of their weapons, and the tension in the air between us.“My King,” one of them said carefully, “we should wait for the reinforcements.”I stood and looked back at

Chapter: 157LyraWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was that I wasn't in my room.For several seconds, I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing. The ceiling above me was made of rough, dark stone, nothing like the smooth white ceiling of the palace chambers. The air smelled damp, carrying the faint scent of smoke, and somewhere nearby, I could hear the steady crackle of a fire. I lay still for a moment, trying to gather my thoughts, but the unfamiliar surroundings only made the confusion in my mind worse.I tried to move, but several figures around me immediately turned their heads.Wolves.My heart lurched as I looked around the room. At least six of them stood nearby, dressed in dark clothing and wearing the same insignia I had seen during the attack. The sight of that symbol sent a fresh wave of fear through me.Iron Claw.I pushed myself upright, my breathing quickening as I looked from one unfamiliar face to another. None of them approached me, and none of them raised a weapo
