"W- What are you talking about?" Kodiak nearly growled when he saw how enticing she looked at the moment, the urge to mate with her again attacked him with full force. He lowered his eyes slightly to stare at her swollen red lips, her flawless pale face was now flushed red with a faint sheen of sweat causing some stray hair strands to stick to her forehead. Her chest heaved heavily against his own, but her glazed eyes looked up at him with faint confusion. The more he tried to create some distance between them, the more she tried to close it so she could have her way with her mate. He swore under his breath when she reached for him and buried her face in his collarbone, her deft finger swiftly undoing the first three buttons on his shirt and sneaking to touch his feverish skin. He groaned loudly when her warm, wet tongue licked his neck, causing his lower region to swell even more as his hands tightened around her waist. "You really don't know anything?" "No." "Dammit." One of hi
Anna instantly regretted her decision to take Ryder along with her when she discovered that this so-called heat could not only be detected by her and her mate but by every male in the pack. She felt a bit guilty watching him try to endure her enticing scent, and she was a little scared seeing the tight cords of his neck as he restrained himself from jumping on her. So she cautiously suggested, "I think we should return to Mrs. Hoyles' house for now. I don't want you to get into trouble." "It's no big deal, Miss Knightley." Large beads of sweat coated Ryder's head as he kept his eyes glued to the road in front of him, gripping the steering wheel so hard that she could see his veins popping out as he skillfully maneuvered the car to turn in another direction. Under any normal circumstances, she would have tried to escape no matter what, but she trusted this man who saved her life, so she repressed her feelings of fear and faced their destination. Besides, he had managed to convince he
The man hesitated for a brief moment when he heard her call his alpha's name, but his puzzlement didn't last long as he tried to reach for the young lady's slender leg again. Anna quickly seized the opportunity to plant her knee in between the man's two legs, aiming for his prized jewels which made him groan in pain and roll away from her. Anna crawled on the floor trying to get away from him, but he grabbed her hair in a rough handful and pulled her back. She felt herself almost blacking out from the sudden impact when her head hit the ground, and before she could even blink, the man was back on top of her again intending to defile her. "Please don't do this..." Anna pleaded weakly.The patrol squad leader's eyes were bloodshot with lust as he held her hands tightly, "It's all your fault, Miss. You shouldn't have come out in heat, you wanted this to happen."A tear trailed down her cheeks when she saw how determined he was. She was forced to accept the fact that she would not be ab
Meanwhile, Kodiak woke up with a painful headache after being sedated by his most trusted men. He discovered that he was locked up in an underground bunker prepared to keep his savage wolf under control, but he felt that the drugs were the ones doing the job instead. The last thing he remembered was strangling a man who had taken his mate away. He could still feel how fragile and thin that man's neck felt within his fingertips, how easy it would have been to take his life but he managed to control his fury in time to ask for help from the guards. His wolf's mental state had not improved at all even after being drugged but at least, he did not possess the strength to do anything stupid. All he wanted now was to see Anna and make sure she was alright. He had left her under his Beta's care because he wasn't sure what he would do if he had met her in that condition in the forest so he left without saying a word to her. He was still thinking when he suddenly heard the phone on the bedsi
Anna was slowly overwhelmed with loneliness after returning to Kodiak's house after a few days. According to Mrs. Hoyles, they thought that she would be safer by her mate's side where she could easily be protected by her mate, but she hadn't seen Kodiak since that night she rejected him. Guilt gnawed her insides every time she thought about it because she could just imagine how devastated he was, being rejected twice despite his efforts. Her primal instincts always kicked in whenever she wanted to talk to him about it, so she simply ran away when she sensed that he was around in the house. After a while, she noticed that he stopped coming back home, and that left a bittersweet feeling in her heart. Maybe it was an aftereffect of the mating heat she had experienced with him, but she and her wolf started yearning for their mate badly after his absence. It was starting to drive her crazy. Sometimes, she would look through her window using her wolf's vision to detect his possible arriv
Anna rushed out of her room in a flash leaving her friend behind as she passed the corridor and climbed down the stairs to see Kodiak. It seemed like Giselle and her friends had not yet sensed his arrival since they just watched her dart out of the house barefoot, moving at a flashing speed. Anna panted heavily when she finally stopped, her eyes searching expectantly for her mate to appear but he was nowhere to be found. Still, she did not give up since she knew that the mating bond between them could not fail her so she patiently waited for him under the chilly evening breeze. Just when he was about to give up, she finally heard some approaching footsteps so she turned around to see a black SUV jeep driving inside the compound. A man stepped down from the vehicle wearing a pair of black clothes from head to toe. He had a rugged appearance, sporting a light stubble on his cheeks and eyes sunken with weariness. He moved at a restrained pace, carrying a dark and dangerous aura as he
Last night's event spread across the pack overnight and plenty of nasty gossip was circulating about the alpha who tried to kill his mate in a fit of rage. The rumors that the Dark Edge alpha had ho that the elders of the pack were forced to hold a meeting about it. There was tension and unease in the quiet room, everyone seemed hesitant to speak about the topic here as they were all engrossed in their thoughts for a brief while until an elder stood up and chided them sternly, "Why are you acting like this? Reviewing matters of the pack is one of our duties as elders so we are not doing anything wrong." Another elder seemed particularly nervous about being present, his eyes darting to the door as if he feared the unexpected arrival of a certain someone. He replied to him. "Noah, you know Kodiak forbade us from holding secret meetings. He will be very unhappy if he finds out about this." Noah scoffed at his words, "Why? It has always been like this since his predecessors' time so why
The Dark Edge pack was bustling with activities as they prepared for the Joyous Moon Festival which was just a few hours away.. During that time, Anna locked herself up and didn't receive any food or drinks from the maids which made Giselle very happy. She and her friends imagined that she would be very depressed by now after her fight with Kodiak so they were in good spirits when they went shopping for their dresses outside pack territory to wear for the festival. But that wasn't really the case. Anna sat on her bed engrossed in her task as her slender fingers handled a needle, pulling it in and out of a cloth in a series of stitches. When Vivian came to see her, she was perplexed by her behavior and asked her, “Anna, what is going on here? Aren't you supposed to be-”“Sad?” Anna chuckled when she heard her friend's worried tone and shook her head. “No, I'm not. I don't think I have time to feel that way since the festival is happening soon.”Vivian felt even more sympathetic when
