Cuffed By My Brother-in-Law
“Why did you let him touch you? Valen demanded, his dark eyes boring into mine with intensity. “Tell me, Calithea,”
“You're my husband's brother," I replied, trying to pull away, but he held me firmly, pulling me flush against his toned body.
“So what? I was the first person to ever have you first” he countered, as his hands prowled dominantly over my waist. “Maybe repeating the action might jog your memory,”
I willed my body not to yield to his radiating heat, but he pressed tightly into me. “Your body tells me otherwise.”
“Your mate is waiting for you” I whispered, desperate to break the spell between us, as I felt the heat of his bulge against me.
He pulled away, a challenge in his eyes, “Let’s see if you’ll let me go to her,” he said, his eyes on me.
The sharp sound of his zipper caught my attention.
“Can you really walk away from this?” His voice dropped to a low murmur.
Oh god!
With my eyes on him, I knew he was right. I surely wouldn’t let him go.
Not now or any time soon.
She was forbidden. He was tempted. Neither could resist.
Calithea hates being under control; it was a nightmare she lived in all her life.
But a reckless night with Valen, her supposed brother-in-law, changed everything. A taste of his dominance made her feel truly alive.
And the irony? She finds herself craving and being tempted by the very control she has always resisted.

Chapter: Chapter 00045CALITHEA"Take this. It'll help conceal your scent," Valen said, handing me a small pouch.I accepted it, adjusting the shawl around my neck to hide the mark that has formed. I had tried acting as though everything was normal. It was a hopeless attempt, because nothing was anymore. Healing takes days, but the bite injury healed in just a few hours.My mind still couldn't process everything that had happened.I'd fallen asleep last night hoping I'd wake up and discover it had all been some bizarre dream. But it hadn't been.Valen stepped closer to me. My heartbeat immediately picked up as his arms slipped naturally around my waist. I simply stared at him, silently. He felt very guilty. Last night I'd been too overwhelmed by my own transformation to notice, but now, it was written all over his face.I wanted to tell him he didn't have to carry all the blame, that I didn't regret...No.I couldn't even finish that thought. The words simply refused to come, because I knew they wouldn't

Chapter: Chapter 00044VALEN How much more could happen in a single night?I stared in stunned silence as Calithea transformed into something that shattered everything I thought I knew. It stood taller than any wolf I had ever seen.Hell!The sheer power radiating from it erased every possibility I had imagined.It wasn't a wolf.Not with forelimbs far too long for one. The dense silver-white fur. The spine, curved with impossible feline flexibility...The tail swayed behind it, curling upward to keep its balance, though I caught the slight uncertainty in the way it stood.Then there were the claws. They weren't the blunt claws of a wolf built for speed. They were long, wicked talons meant for climbing, and tearing through anything in their path.My gaze lifted to its eyes. Silver.They locked onto mine with an intensity, without realizing it, I took a cautious step toward it.Never in my life had another creature unsettled the authority that came with being an Alpha. It released a low growl before I coul

Chapter: Chapter 00043CALITHEAEverything felt strange.The dream was so vivid that it almost felt real.That had to be the only explanation for why the last person I ever expected to see was crouched in front of me.It also had to explain why my palms were stained with blood, and the pain that continued to spread with every passing second from my neck.Yet no matter how many times I blinked, the scene refused to disappear. It stayed exactly the same.My heart pounded wildly against my ribs as the cold night air bit into my skin.When he moved closer, the illusion shattered.He looked just as stunned as I was.If anything, it seemed we were competing over who was more horrified by what had just happened.One of his hands remained suspended in the air, frozen in place like he had forgotten how to move.This wasn't a dream. It was real as hell.Valen had...marked me, just utside my father's house.The thought sounded impossible even inside my own head.Something I had once dreamed of with all my heart had be

Chapter: Chapter 00042VALENI noticed Liam's wolf chasing after me.‘You can't just leave the ceremony halfway!’ his voice echoed through our mind link as he stayed on my heels.Yet I didn't stop.‘ I just did!’ I snapped back, authority in my tone. ‘Do not follow me.’But he ignored the order.‘You have to come back and finish this. Everyone is waiting for you. What will they—’His words were abruptly cut off as I heard Soren’s voice in my mind. ‘I'll handle him.’I didn't bother replying to him, as I blocked them out, so no one would be able to locate me.Sometimes Liam was too rigid, too bound by duty and rules, but Soren understood when those rules needed to be broken.Loud growls resounded behind me, and I knew Soren had caught up with Liam. They were evenly matched, each dangerous in his own way. It would be a brutal fight, if Liam wouldn’t back down.I only slowed when I realized where my wolf had brought me. It was Ryden’s house. Thinking of her sheer, calming presence made the rage in my veins s

Chapter: Chapter 00041VALENI wanted to be buried in her all day, but fuck all the endless obligations demanding my presence.She would have heard rumors of what was happening, but I hadn't for once said a single thing to her about it.The door to the room I was preparing for the night was pushed open, and Liam strode in. “At this rate, I'm sure Zirelle will have to wait for you, when you should be the one waiting out there,” he muttered in a humorless tone.I held back the sharp response that burned on my tongue. He was intentionally trying to get under my skin with those words.I knew he was finally at peace with the fact that this ceremony was actually happening. To him, it was the perfect chance to put whatever I had with Calithea out of my mind for good.“Is everything going as planned?” I asked, my focus back onto the primary task I had to execute tonight. Following Liam’s updates and my own growing suspicions, the threat might show its face tonight. We had to utilize this chance and stay steps ahe

Chapter: Chapter 00040CALITHEA"Calithea."Someone was calling my name.The voice sounded distant, yet strangely comforting. It was the most soothing voice I'd ever heard."Calithea." It came again. This time, I could feel someone touching me.It was warm... so warm, as though my body had long since memorized it before my mind ever did.A gentle caress brushed my cheek, then my neck, and… My eyes fluttered open, only to squeeze shut again as a dull ache throbbed through my head, like I’d been struck by a brick in my sleep.After a moment, I forced my eyes open once more. A pair of dark eyes stared back at me. It was still midnight.I wasn't surprised to find him sitting on my bed, but his eyes…They weren't the eyes I had grown used to seeing all the time. His eyes were hollow, like something had drained the life from them.A sharp ache tugged painfully at my chest. I remained lying where I was, studying him quietly, hoping whatever burden he was carrying would reveal itself if I looked long enough.I w

Chapter: Chapter 153 EpilogueRAVEN’S POVMonths later…“It’s a girl”. The nurse said to me, as I heaved out a loud breath, panting like my life depended on it. A loud shrill cry filled the air. A reality check that I wasn't hallucinating. Vaughan, who had been holding my hand, all through the labour, kissed my forehead. A huge smile was plastered on his face, as he craned his neck, to take a peek at our daughter who was just born. “You did amazing”. He whispered, in my ears, as our newly delivered baby was placed on my chest. I bent my head, as my shaky hands touched her for the first time. It felt like it was a dream. She was nothing I imagined, but everything at the same time. “Damn, I wasn’t even spared a detail”. Vaughan gushed beside me, his eyes locked on her, as she snuggled against my bosom. I chuckled faintly, realizing I birthed a child who took all of her father’s features. At a glance one could notice that. “Not even one bit”. I whispered. The only indication that indicated she was mine, wasa few

Chapter: Chapter 152RAVEN’S POVWalking through the corridor of the dungeon, I was yet reminded of the reason why people were kept here, and one of them being someone I had trusted, hurts me more. I stopped a few feet to where she was locked up. These past few months, I hadn't seen her, but with the new development I knew this would probably be the last time I would see her, before she finally leaves. Nothing had prepared me for the sight in front of me. She was nothing of the lady I knew her to be. She looked so gaunt, her cheekbones more visible than ever. My heart immediately went out for her, at her condition, but letting her know how I feel wasn’t the right thing to do. She met my gaze, but didn’t even blink an eye.“Vaughan has agreed to let you go”. I managed to say, after a while. No reaction whatsoever from her. “I don't ever regret ever being friends with you. You did what you did, and it can’t be helped, but when next you have a friend I hope you would at least be honest about your feelings

Chapter: Chapter 151RIEV’S POVVaughan's knowing gaze, at my direction, gave me the clarity I needed badly. Without further delay, I dashed after Dorian, feeling the untamed fury to kill him, as it pumped through my veins.After months of deliberate planning, and hoping he would fall into the well laid trap for him, he did it, not much to our surprise. I gave out orders to Vaughan’s men, who had accompanied us to the meeting. In search of him, I scrutinized the surroundings, feeling a bit wary, as I sensed the discomfort of my wolf. He had arrived before we did, which made me clueless of how he got here. No car was speeding away, which only indicated he was still around the vicinity. I couldn’t even perceive his scent around, making me doubt if he had indeed left or dissipated into thin air. I stared at the building which I just exited.Taking the stairs two at a time I ran up the last floor of the building. Something didn’t feel right, within me. With steady strides I took to the rooftop. His scent per

Chapter: Chapter 150VAUGHAN’S POVTHREE MONTHS LATER…I sat up from the bed, staring at my sleeping mate, who had her back to me. This has been her favourite position ever since her stomach began to get bigger out, but with time everything would be over, and our baby girl would be here. I glanced at the small clock. “Shit!”. I swore, realizing I would be late if I didn't leave the bed, but as I threw a leg to the floor, Raven’s hand suddenly held my arm, she sat up slowly. “I thought you were asleep”. “Not when you keep staring at me, but I actually wanted to see you off today”. She muttered, yawning loudly, stretching her body. She never woke up this early.“I have everything in order”. I kissed her cheeks, which were rounder with the pregnancy. “Do not say a word about them”. She glared at me, as she saw my smile, aware of what I had in mind. “I said nothing, and besides it's the prettiest cheeks now”. I didn’t understand why she hated them. I rubbed her stomach gently. “It seems like she is gettin

Chapter: Chapter 149RIEV’S POV“Seriously?!”. I scoffed, as I pulled Della into my house. Sane or not, I didn't want her to get on Raven’s bad side. Raven might be receptive to her presence, but it was like a ticking time bomb, one mistake, and she could snap at her, not caring if she was in her right mind, and to crown it all she was with a child.“Do not forget why you are here”. I said, gouging her expression, but a grin pulled up at the corners of her lips. I wasn’t surprised at her change of personality. I had been aware of it, before Raven’s arrival, but the change was swift. I had my doubts about it, but it was obvious she had dual personalities.“How could I forget that, I’m the hopeless one here, but you know what?”. She cocked an eyebrow at me, and began to twist the end of hair. Her gaze is flirty, just like the old Della I was used to in the past. “More than anyone, your sister is the bad bitch here, unless she could have wrapped the best Alpha around her fingers, so you can’t blame me”.

Chapter: Chapter 148RAVEN’S POVHours later…In Redmoon…“Be careful with her!”. Vaughan yelled out, as Fia hugged me tightly, spinning me around like a little child. It was almost noon before we arrived. My legs felt cramped up, due to the long journey. “Gosh! It was faster than I expected”. She said, when she finally released me, and I narrowed my eyes at her words. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m ecstatic about your arrival, but knowing what kind of person he is I never imagined he would be so easy to deal with”. She muttered, her face brimming with happiness. “Well, it is what it is”. I muttered, and scanned around, noticing Vaughan’s mother, as she hugged Sierra tightly, while bawling her eyes out. After almost two decades, and all the emotional turbulence Altair had put everyone through, it would surely feel surreal to her. Everything felt different, the air was different, from how it was before, and I knew it was because of Jade’s betrayal. I saw Gale and Hank, who was also around Vaughan, telling him

Chapter: Chapter 0008 Fractured Time It wasn’t the first time. Iver was used to fighting off what he always felt, but it was all new to Faiz. Faiz’s eyes went to his injury, was relieved it wasn’t bleeding and was healing fine, but his gaze crept up and lingered on the exposed expanse of his chest and torso.His hands itched at his side, and he quickly folded them behind him, to assert control over the growing need he felt, but Iver at that point in time could sense what he tried so desperately to conceal.“You are okay”. Faiz said. It was meant to be a statement, but it had come out that way.“Why the hell do you care?!”. Iver’s voice trembled, suddenly, more in ache than in anger. He was losing it, and he didn’t care what Faiz thought about his outburst. He was the last man he expected to worry about him, especially as an exiled head warrior. As the alpha he had made the order, and he had followed it duly. Faiz’s control slipped, as he took a tentative step towards him. He shouldn’t have left Drathmoor in a haste to

Chapter: Chapter 0007 Fire meets IceMore than ten feets away was Faiz on his royal majestic horse. His heart hammering outrageously in his chest. Had he been two seconds late, things would have escalated beyond his control, he thought to himself.Only heaven knew how he had managed to keep his sanity, while trying to locate him, and seeing him standing there unmoving his undivided attention solely on him, he couldn’t be more relieved.“Keep staring, and we all die here!”. Nerris’ loud voice broke through Iver’s ears. Her words like a wake up he needed, he moved swiftly and precisely, taking down their adversaries, as Faiz also joined in fighting off their adversaries.It was as if Faiz’s presence was as a fuel he didn’t know he needed all along. Constantly his eyes flickered to where Faiz was. It was still all a dream to him, that the Alpha king was indeed with him.The sounds of grunts, and muffled screams filled the air. In a few minutes their attackers' bodies began to litter around.“They are getting away!”. One of

Chapter: Chapter 0006 Crown’s Arrival Deep in the forest far away from Drathmoor…Inside a small cabin located in a deserted area, close to the woods, outside of Drathmoor, Iver laid unconscious on a thatched bed, his breath steady. The feverish bead of sweats that had been on his forehead a while ago, was already drying up.A lady with a lean toned body, moved around the small space, a short bloody blade dangled on her hip. The sounds of a metal pestle grinding against mortar began to fill the air, as she got busy, her eyes flickering to where Iver laid.The scent of the crushed herbs wafted in the dimly lit space. As if the grinding sounds disturbed him, Iver moved in his sleep, and in a heartbeat, he jolted up his sleep. Sensing he was in unfamiliar territory, he sat up, reaching for an iron rod close to him, ready to attack, yet the lady didn’t flinch, she only stopped what she was doing.“For a moment I thought you would never wake up”. She said, calmly her back was still facing him. “…but then again that isn’t the

Chapter: Chapter 0005 Duty over Doubt“He is responsible for two murders in the palace, that sentence is far too light for the gravity of his crimes”. An elder said, rejecting Faiz’s judgment, and the rest nodded their heads in agreement. “Logically, yes, but we can’t also deny the fact that no one actually saw him commit the murders”. Faiz said, his eyes meeting each one of them. “If anyone did, you should come forward”. He said loudly, his voice resounding in the hall, but no one made a sound, nor came forward, and he sighed in concealed relief.His emotions and intuition might have played a huge role in his judgment, but his duty weighed heavier than his instinct. “Take him out”. Faiz ordered, as he left the hall, his hands twitching uncontrollably at his sides, unable to handle the pressure of his own words.As the guards hauled him towards the door, Reuel’s voice broke the silence that ravaged his mind. “Brother!”. “I’ll be fine”. Iver muttered, not loud enough for anyone but for himself to hear. “You stay safe”

Chapter: Chapter 0004 Banished truths No. Faiz wanted to scream, not just in defense, but against the critical voice in his head. Ilias being his next in command gave him every right to act accordingly. Ilias began a deliberate slow step towards Iver, but Faiz halted him.“Until it’s proven he is indeed the one, there will be no interrogation”. Faiz said to Ilias, but his eyes were on Iver who was oblivious to his mounting adversities. Iver had been late on purpose, to avoid Faiz, but it was a vain wish, and to top it all his beta had a murderous glint in his eyes, which he knew was meant for him. “…it’s clear as day, who is…”. “I make the final judgment”. Faiz's voice was frigid, hinting at his command, which must be obeyed.Till it was proven he was behind the murder, Faiz would stick by the rules, and not allow any misjudgments.“Assemble the elders”. Faiz added.Reluctantly, Ilias backed away, his eyes flickering to Iver, but confused at Faiz’s reluctance to accept the obvious truth. Iver had held his breath as

Chapter: Chapter 0003 Sparks and ClashIver gritted his teeth, against the pain he felt yet again in his heart, as his feet fumbled around. “I…I…need to be excused…”. Iver rasped out, his eyes flickering to Faiz, but his facial expression bore nothing of everything he felt.Iver scurried out of the field, his mind a jumbled mess, but he knew this bond would surely be the death of him.Faiz's gaze lingered in the direction Iver left. Something in the way Iver had briefly peered at him, those few seconds before he had exited the arena, gnawed at his mind. As if those brown eyes judged him.“It’s settled. He becomes the head warrior”. Monrique’s firm declaration broke through his thoughts. Faiz peered at the five elders, whose decision was already steadfast in making Iver the head warrior. “I never objected to it”. Faiz finally muttered, as his eyes went again to where Iver had scampered to. “He seems like an odd one, with a mystery”. Rae muttered, her voice bright and bubbly, a contrast to how Faz felt at that moment. “We
