Gale shivers and quietly moans in front of me, driving me fucking wild. Never did I think touching a woman would feel so damn good, but she was like a fucking drug and I could see myself getting addicted.
"Please, stop." Gale gasps, her body tensing as an orgasm overtakes her.
Her delicious scent drifts up to my nose, and I pull my hand free, wanting to taste her juices.
Free of my torture, she collapses to the ground while I lick my fingers clean.
Neither of us speaks as the final remnants of the day disappear and the moon begins to rise.
"Bastard." Gale's soft voice murmurs, breaking the silence.
"What was that?" I growl, unsure of whether I heard her right.
"I said," she hisses, finally getting to her feet. "BASTARD!"
Her silver eyes flash in anger as they lock onto mine.
"You enjoyed it." I smirk. "Don't pretend you didn't."
I am so damn in tune with her emotions that it actually shakes me. However, I won't ever let her know. Otherwise, I fear that things could tip past the point of no return.
"Don't ever touch me again." She warns, puffing up like an angry kitten. "If you want to fuck around with someone, go find your precious Talia."
A shock of anger rolls through me at her words. Who the hell is she to push me towards another woman?
'Claim her!' Fray growls.
'No!'
There was no way I would ever mark her. That right was reserved for Talia since long ago.
'She means nothing to us.' Fray snaps, sending waves of annoyance through me. 'Forget her.'
Forget her? I had to bite back the laugh that wanted to escape. Doing that would be considered treason. Neither I nor Gale would be safe then.
'Weak.'
Rolling my eyes, I ignore Fray's final jab and turn my attention back to Gale.
Though she is trying to seem angry due to my actions, her cheeks are still flushed with desire and her delicious aroma is wafting around us.
"You are never to say that again." I rumble, trying to remain calm.
"Or?" She challenges. "You going to try to molest me again?"
I let a warning growl escape me as she continued to stand her ground.
"I never have to force any woman, sweetheart." I begin, slamming my hand against the wall behind her, pinning her in place so our bodies are almost touching. "You are no exception."
"Bullshit."
To prove my point, I push myself against her, causing a shiver of pleasure to rush through her body.
"Wanna try again?" I laugh, trying to ignore my erection that is pushing painfully against my pants.
"Get away from me." She snaps, placing both hands on my chest and giving a useless shove. "Damn your overly large body." She continues when I don't budge.
I can't stop the laugh that escapes me from the look of irritation and frustration that crosses her face.
"Come on, best in class." I urge. "Make me move."
Amusement rushed through me as she simply glared at me. I had to admit, I was enjoying picking on her.
"Do you have split personalities?" She huffs, dropping her hands.
"Hm, maybe?"
Stepping back, I continued to laugh. It was time to get serious, even if picking on the tiny woman in front of me was more fun than I thought.
"About time." She huffs, straightening out her clothes that I mussed up. "How long is this shift?"
"Wanting to get away from me that badly?" I ask, feeling an odd pang of pain in my chest.
"How could I ever?"
"Til midnight. After that, the next team will come."
"Okay."
I watch as she begins to look into the darkness ahead, turning from a normal woman, to a proper guard.
Letting out a sigh, I do the same as disappointment flares.
The rest of our shift goes peacefully, and when the next guards show, I follow Gale back to the barracks, all the while keeping my gaze fixed on her ass. Damn, it really is nice and I can't help but want to smack it and find out if it is as soft as it looks.
"See you tomorrow!" She calls once we arrive, shooting me an amused look as if she was aware of my thoughts.
I simply nod and watch her disappear inside the large brick building, only catching a brief glimpse of the bastard that is always buzzing around her.
She gives him a genuine smile as they begin to walk away, and I have to control the urge to storm in there and rip him limb from limb.
Turning, I force myself to leave while promising to punish her tomorrow for disregarding my words.
[Gale's POV]
I don't dare look behind me as Griffin begins to walk me towards the showers. After my day, I feel gross and need to get the scent of that bastard, Chance, off of me.
Though I feel Griffin is sensing something, he isn't asking, and I can't help but appreciate that he isn't. I am still having trouble wrapping my head around what happened earlier. What was his reasoning? Why would he even think of doing it? And why was I disappointed that it didn't go further?
"We're here." I announce once we arrive at the open baths, which are empty at the moment. "You can head back now."
Instead of responding, Griffin just stares me down with a strange look in his eyes.
"What is it?" I ask, cocking my head to the side. Something about the look he is giving me makes me nervous, and I find myself hoping that whatever is to come doesn't go further.
"Can I ask you something?" He finally says, seeming to decide on something.
"Depends." I respond slowly. "What would the outcome be if you asked?"
"I suppose you will be the one to decide." Griffin gives me a sheepish smile as he responds, and I can't help but feel my heart tug slightly with pity.
"How about we don't continue with this."
I know that what I'm saying is cruel, but whatever I were to say later because of his question would be crueler. For now, I enjoy the way things are I don't want them to change. Especially given the odd relationship that is slowly beginning to build between me and Chance.
"Is that your way of rejecting me?" Griffin asks, hurt flashing in his eyes.
"Please, can we just remain like this?" I whisper in response. "You're my best friend, and I don't want anything to change that."
"But I do." Griffin snaps, surging forward and pinning me against the wall.
My eyes grow wide as his face begins to come closer to mine and his eyes close. However, before he gets the chance to complete what he is trying to do, he flies backwards and a loud snarl of rage rings out around us.
Trying to keep my heart from beating out of my chest, I fix my gaze on Chance, who is now standing with Griffin's shoulder gripped tightly in his hand.
"What's going on here?" His cold and domineering voice growls. "Didn't I warn you already, sweetheart?"
[Gale's POV]"Well?" Chance's voice is ice-cold as he waits for a response that I'm not sure will be able to come."Gale, what is he talking about?" Griffin asks while attempting to break free. "Let go!"My mind whirls as I try to process the scene in front of me. Why is Chance even here? Didn't i leave him in front of the barracks?"If you don't respond, I will break his neck." Chance warns, showing that he means business. "What the hell did I warn you about?""But... I didn't." I don't know what he wants me to even say right now. "Nothing happened!""Because I arrived before it did." Chance growls, tightening his hold on Griffin."Could someone tell me what is going on?" Griffin demands "Didn't you both reject each other?""Even if I rejected her," Chance begins, throwing Griffin against the wall like a ragdoll. "She is still mine and no one is to touch her."The hall grew silent as Chance's words fell around us. "I'm not something to be possessed." I hiss, finally coming out of my
[Chance's POV]My body moves on its own, leaving me unable to resist its call. I want her, goddess I want her so fucking bad it is driving me mad. And from the scent of arousal that is reaching my nose, I know that she wants me too.Unable to resist, I pull my pants down and position myself at her sopping entrance. I can feel her tense at my actions, but I can't stop here."N-no, don't... UGH!" She gasps as I begin to push in, slowly burying my dick deep into her."Don't deny what your body says you want, sweetheart." I hiss, pushing further. Fuck, she feels good."I'm not," she pants, though I can easily smell her desire increasing with each push. "I…""Sssshhhh."Fuck, she is tight and she squeezes my dick just right. That's when I realize she's still a virgin, and my mind snaps.I give one final push, stretching her fully to accommodate me and ripping the thin piece of flesh that made her pure and innocent. From this point on, she is mine and I will kill any man that attempts to ta
[Gale's POV]I stumble through the darkness while trying to ignore the pain between my legs. How did I actually let that happen and why did I find myself wanting more?'Our mate wants us.' Anya purrs with pride. 'That was proof.'Proof... I bite back the miserable laugh that wants to escape. How is fucking and then being kicked out proof?Pain shoots through my heart at this thought, and I do my best to ignore it as I spot the barracks.When I arrive Griffin is outside waiting, and when his eyes find me, he shoots up and rushes forward."Are you okay?" He demands, beginning to take me in. "Did he do anything to hurt you?"Before I can respond, he steps back and eyes me with confusion and hurt, causing me to remember how I currently look with the marks on my skin and Chance's robe."You didn't..." Griffin growls, his eyes growing dark."Even if I did, it doesn't concern you." I respond, deciding now is the time to draw a line between us. "He is my mate, and therefore this is normal."I
[Chance’s POV]My gaze remains locked on Gale as Talia and Ramone begin to argue. By the look in her eyes, I can tell that she realizes what she has done wrong.Good, that meant that she was learning, but it seemed that she hadn’t learned enough yet. I would have to punish her later for openly disobeying my orders.‘If you claimed her, this wouldn’t be a problem.’ Fray points out, giving a growl of frustration. ‘She belongs to us and we should show that to all the bastards that have their eyes on her.’Pushing Fray aside, I continued to take Gale in. If I said that she didn’t stand out, I’d be lying. With her silver eyes, fair skin, killer body, and white blonde hair, she looked like a fucking angel. However, that still wasn’t enough to make me want to put her beside me."Would you like to come to dinner tonight?"Snapping out of my daze, I looked to where Ramone stood, his dark eyes openly taking in Gale as she stood aside waiting to be freed."Pardon?" Gale murmurs, yanking her gaze
[Gale's POV]My body is alive from the forcefulness of Chance's kiss, but I know that this is wrong.I lift my hands and begin to push against his chest. However, this only spurs him to wrap his arms tightly around me, pushing our bodies even closer."We can't..." I gasp, managing to disengage my lips."Quiet!" Chance growls before beginning to grab at the skirt of my dress.My eyes widen as I realize what he is planning to do. How could he even consider it when we could be caught at any time?"Don't!" I hiss, grabbing at his hands."I said, be quiet!"A yelp of shock and excitement escapes me as one of his large hands grabs my wrists and pins them above my head.As I tried to process what exactly was going on, Chance gave a tug at my skirt, easily ripping it and leaving me much too exposed."What if someone comes looking for us?" I gasp, realizing what he had planned."That's why I said stay quiet." Chance murmurs against my neck. "The chemicals in here will mask our scent, but you m
[Gale's POV]I kept my gaze firmly fixed on Chance as I spoke. I knew from the look he was giving me that he was confused by my words, but I just couldn’t explain this to him. This was my deepest, darkest secret and if anyone were to find out, I was as good as dead.‘Repeat that.’ Chance’s angry voice booms in my head. ‘I don’t think I heard you correctly.’Instead of responding, I simply remained silent. "This is getting old." Grayson, my father’s newest guard, growls. "Come along, princess."‘Princess?’Shit, now there was no way that I was going to be able to keep him from asking questions."Alright." I sigh, stepping towards the man so that he can grab me. "Just let the wolf go.""If that is your command." Grayson huffs. "You heard her!" He calls to his men who are watching us silently.‘LIKE HELL I’M JUST GOING TO LET YOU LEAVE!’I flinch as Chance’s enraged voice booms in my head, but I continue to move with Grayson.‘Just leave.’ I growl, hoping that he will.‘NO!’Rolling my
[Chance's POV]I wake up with a jolt and scan the empty space around me. Fuck! She managed to get away with those thugs that were surrounding her.Letting out a growl, I shift back to my human form and try to ignore the rage that is boiling within. I would be damned if she managed to get away!I jump up and sniff the area, trying to get a whiff of Gale's scent. Though faint, it is there, and I begin to follow. The night is calm and there isn't a creature in sight as I stalk the damn woman who knocked me out and ran. With each step, her scent grows until finally I find myself staring up at the castle of Alfred Redrin, the king of Redrin, a small neighboring country adjacent to Langley. Confusion rolls through me as I try to determine what this man could possibly want with Gale. Then, the memory of one of the guards calling her princess strikes me, spurring my curiosity further. It seems I've truly found myself a fun toy that is full of secrets.'Go get her!' Fray growls, sending wave
[Gale’s POV]A sigh escapes me as I stare at the crowd below. Leave it to this foolish old man to go all out whenever he could.Three days had already passed since I was brought back to this place, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to escape. It seemed that since I ran away, my father had increased his security and anywhere I looked, someone was waiting.Now that I was still stuck here, I had to attend this ridiculous coming-out party for my father. If I could guess, he would use this as an opportunity to show me off to high society and see if I caught the eye of an even more powerful man than Duke Watson.Letting out a breath, I looked down at the frilly golden dress that I was forced into by Naidene, my father’s head maid. It made me look like a true pampered princess and drove me mad.‘I want our mate.’ Anya whines as I start down the stairs. ‘Let’s leave this place.’‘I’m trying.’ I sigh. As I descend the stairs, voices and soft string music drift towards me, indicating t
