Se connecterSo, I wanted to ask, do you like longer chapters? Or shorter ones are more interesting?
Dimitri:Her hand found my chest. She traced the lines of muscle, the scars, the place where my heart beat heavy against her palm. “You're staring,” she said, her voice still husky. “And you keep making it harder for me to pull away or even control my wolf.”“Well, you have made it clear that you can’t control her… I think that I can admire you a little more.” I caught her hand and brought it to my lips, kissing her knuckles one by one.She laughed, a breathy sound that made my cock stir under the sheet. “Do you really think that it is a good idea right now?”“Yes. Staring is passive. Admiring requires intention.” I rolled onto my side, propping myself up on one elbow. My free hand slid down her ribs, over her hip, coming to rest on the inside of her thigh. “And I intend to do more than look. Given that I am enjoying your scent, I am thinking that it is only going to grow stronger.”Her breath hitched. I felt the heat radiating from her skin, the slight dampness between her legs. She
Alina:I woke because I was too warm.At first, I thought Dimitri had pulled me closer during the night. His arm was wrapped around my waist, my back pressed against his chest, and the blankets had somehow tangled around our legs. The room itself was cool, with a faint morning breeze slipping through the balcony doors.The warmth was coming from me.I shifted beneath the covers, trying to find a cooler spot, but the movement only made me more aware of everything. My skin felt sensitive, my heartbeat too loud, and every breath felt like it carried more weight than it should.And another wave of warmth rolled through me, starting deep in my stomach and spreading outward. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to ignore it, but ignoring it was impossible. My whole body felt restless, like something inside me was trying to wake up fully.“What’s happening to me?” I whispered to my wolf.She stirred lazily, sounding far more relaxed than I felt. “Mate. You are laying beside our mate.”My face hea
Dimitri:The moment her lips left mine, I kept my forehead resting against hers, letting her breathe through the lingering warmth still pulsing beneath her skin. Her cheeks were flushed, her breathing uneven, and her fingers remained curled in the front of my shirt as if she needed the contact to stay grounded.I could feel her wolf humming through the bond, restless and bright, far more awake than she had been even an hour ago.And I understood exactly why. Her body was reacting to the full moon, but it wasn’t the only reason why she was burning up… she was slipping into heat.It was subtle now, gentle, confused, searching, but unmistakable. A newly awakened wolf, a newly formed mate bond, and the full moon only days away. Her instincts were rising faster than she could make sense of them. She didn’t know or understand it yet, but her own body was asking her for something that she couldn’t understand.And I wasn’t going to let fear be the first thing she associated with her own natur
Alina:I had never imagined that hearing another voice inside my head could feel comforting. It should have frightened me. A week ago, it probably would have. Yet now, as I sat beside the large windows in Dimitri’s office with an old book open across my lap, I found myself smiling every time she spoke.“You’re reading too slowly.”I blinked at the page. “I’ve only just started. It is not like I’ve been reading for a long time now…”“You’ve been staring at the same paragraph for five minutes.” My wolf said, and I raised an eyebrow at her.“I was thinking.”“Exactly.”A quiet laugh escaped me. “She has opinions already? And it seems to me that she is not liking me too much.”Across the room, Dimitri looked up from the report he had been reading. An amused smile tugged at his lips. “I doubt that is the case.”“She thinks I’m reading too slowly.” I said, and Dimitri chuckled.“Well… is she wrong?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re supposed to be on my side. Plus, I wasn’t reading at all…
Asher:The glass shattered against the stone wall with a sharp crack that echoed through the office. Wine splashed across the floor, staining the expensive rug a deep crimson as the crystal broke into dozens of glittering fragments.No one dared make a single move or take a breath longer than necessary… they understood my anger and the risk of playing with it.The pressure inside the room had become suffocating, thick enough to choke on. Daren stood near the door with his eyes fixed on the floor, shoulders tense. Several warriors lined the wall, each of them deliberately avoiding my gaze.I stood in front of the fireplace, every muscle in my body locked tight as the fury clawing through me fought for control. It was gone. The connection I had forced into existence, painfully, deliberately, ruthlessly… it had vanished.My wolf paced beneath my skin with violent agitation, his growl vibrating through my bones.She escaped. He managed to get her to her mind, and she escaped.“I know,” I
Dimitri:I felt her before anything else.The sensation hit me so abruptly that the report in my hands slipped from my fingers and landed on my desk without me even realizing I had let go. My wolf surged forward with a force that made my breath catch.Mate.But it wasn’t me he was reacting to… it was her.I closed my eyes for a brief moment, letting the bond pull me the way a tide pulls the shore. There it was, faint, fragile, but unmistakably present. Not a heartbeat. A presence. Small, confused, and newly awake.Her wolf.A slow smile tugged at my mouth before I could stop it.“She found you,” I murmured under my breath. “And it seems to me that it is going to be a bit of a journey from here.”The warmth racing through the bond wasn’t fear. It was curiosity, wonder, and beneath it all, a soft thread of confusion.“She doesn’t understand what’s happening,” my wolf said quietly. “And it might be a while before she actually does.”“She will,” I answered. “And you seem to be talkative a
