LOGINElena
I stood on the rooftop, staring down at the borders.
Guards patrolled in relentless formation, eyes sharp, movements precise. No lazy pauses. No fifteen-minute breaks. Every shift was replaced seamlessly by another team.
Fuck.
There was no escaping the borders anymore.
I swept my gaze north, searching—desperate—for even a sliver of negligence. An unguarded path. A blind spot.
Nothing.
Every route was sealed shut.
Fuck.
Dad hadn't just prepared for my escape—he'd anticipated it.
Seconds passed before I felt it.
A presence.
Warm. Woodsy. All restraint and dominance.
Jax.
I froze.
"It's useless, little wolf," his voice murmured right against the back of my neck, vibrating down my spine. He leaned in and plucked the binoculars from my grip. I clenched my jaw, barely stopping myself from slapping him.
"Pretty shitty binoculars, I must add." He lifted them to his eyes, then chuckled. "If this is your escape plan? You suck at it."
"What the fuck are you doing here, Jax?" I muttered, fists curling at my sides.
"Your dad asked us to keep an eye on you."
Us...
As if summoned, Ashton stepped onto the rooftop.
Both dressed in black—except Jax, who wore white slacks like he was deliberately trying to irritate the universe. Ashton had gone full shadow. And as fucked up as it was, my eyes betrayed me immediately.
A few buttons undone. On both of them.
Jax's tattoos crept up his chest—intricate, chaotic, impossible to decipher. Ashton's were bolder. Cleaner. No less dangerous. They were attractive men of course—Men that watched me grew up, I didn't know why I reminded myself of that.
"You gotta work on the staring, princess," Ashton drawled, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Heat rushed to my cheeks.
"Nothing to be proud of," I snapped, folding my arms. "I find what I see pretty despicable."
It was late. I hadn't seen these two all day. I'd thought they'd left.
Clearly, they hadn't.
"Shouldn't you have worn something warmer before coming up here?" Jax's gaze dragged slowly down my body, unashamed. Taking inventory of everything the black lace nightie did—and didn't—cover. The robe was a pathetic excuse for modesty.
"It's none of your business," I shot back, tightening the robe around me. His stare burned anyway. Deep. Personal.
"What are you even doing roaming around dressed like this?" Ashton stepped closer, hands in his pockets, eyes mirroring his brother's slow assessment.
They boxed me in without touching me.
One in front. One to my side.
Too tall. Too broad.
Every angle was theirs.
"Maybe I'm looking for a man to fuck me," I said sweetly, flashing a smile. "Remember? I might be the only person on this continent whose virginity is a curse."
"Well, you can lose hope of that," Jax chuckled—and then tossed my binoculars off the roof.
"Hey!" I lunged forward, too late. "You piece of—"
"No one's going to fuck the Alpha's daughter who's bound by a contract demanding she stays a virgin," he said calmly, almost amused. "No one has the guts."
Something inside me sank.
Just a little.
Because he was right.
No one would risk death for my virginity.
"You can take your ass back to your room, princess," Ashton added. "This isn't worth it."
I looked between them.
None had the guts.
None... except—
"You're wrong," I said softly, a slow smirk curling my lips as I stepped back, deliberately dragging my gaze over both of them.
Recognition flashed across Jax's face.
"Whatever you're planning, little wolf—" he started.
I cut him off by grabbing his collar and yanking him closer.
He inhaled sharply.
Yes—Jax, fearless, unshakable Jax—drew in a breath as my lips brushed his.
"You two do," I whispered. "You have the power. The protection. The freedom to get away with it."
I saw him differently then.
Older. Strong. Lethal. Devastatingly handsome.
What better way to lose my virginity?
My hands slid lower, fingers closing around his belt.
His eyes darkened. Breath heavier. Restraint cracking—but still intact.
"You can fuck me," I murmured, "and end this drama."
Ashton watched.
Didn't stop me.
Didn't look unaffected either.
"You're out of your mind," Jax chuckled, catching my wrists and pulling them away from his belt.
Too slow.
I darted my tongue out and licked—one slow, deliberate flick—across his lips.
A growl rumbled in his chest—low, feral. Straight from the animal.
The wolf inside him.
"Fuck," he muttered.
Heat rolled off his skin as he turned his face away, jaw clenched, eyes squeezing shut as he dragged in a slow, controlled breath.
Of course it affected him.
I knew I was attractive. I knew my body—my curves, my softness—were weapons. Men like them were predators beneath skin and bone, and predators always responded to provocation.
"What?" I whispered. "Having a tough time, Alpha?"
The shift was instant.
A rough grip seized my wrist and I was yanked sideways, ripped away from Jax's heat and slammed back into something solid.
Ashton.
In one brutal second, both my hands were wrenched behind my back and pinned there, my spine pressed flush to his chest. Too fast. Way too fast—even for a trained werewolf.
A sharp gasp tore from my lips.
Ashton leaned in, his mouth hovering beside my ear.
"Don't play dirty, princess," he murmured.
His voice was dark. Controlled. Lethal.
A shiver tore down my spine, settling low in my belly—fuck, I was going to get wet if this continued.
"You'll be the one who gets hurt."
I turned my head slightly, eyes finding Jax.
He stood rigid, a hand raking through his hair. His eyes—once green—had gone pitch black.
So I had triggered his wolf.
That was why Ashton had intervened.
"Seems like your brother has a thing for me," I murmured, lips curling as I looked back at Ashton. "You sure you want to interrupt?" I tilted my head, voice dropping. "I don't mind a threesome—just be gentle."
I glanced over my shoulder and pressed a kiss to the corner of Ashton's mouth, letting my lips linger.
His jaw locked.
His grip tightened.
But he didn't lose control.
Not even for a second.
Tough bastard.
"It's useless," he chuckled quietly. "You can't get under my skin."
Then—without warning—he dipped his head and kissed the sensitive hollow of my neck.
Fuck.
A sharp breath left me as my body reacted instantly, heat coiling low and visceral. My knees almost gave. His teeth graze, tongue slid against my skin and all of it felt sinful against my skin.
My gaze snapped back to Jax whilst Ashton pushed my limits.
His eyes were slowly lightening again—but he didn't look away. He watched. Every second. Every reaction.
Just as I started to lean back into Ashton's hold, he released me abruptly.
"Get rid of these thoughts and go to your room," he said evenly. "You're only making it harder for yourself."
"I could make it hard for both of you," I shot back, refusing to retreat, "Well...something hard."
Jax's tongue pressed into the corner of his mouth, tension radiating off him.
"Go to your room, little wolf. Enough playing for today."
"I'm not a kid, Alpha," I snapped. "And I am going to fucking lose my virginity before this wedding." I looked between them deliberately. "I'm challenging both of you tonight."
The air thickened instantly.
"It's going to be one of you by the time this ends."
A slow smile curved my lips.
"Or maybe both."
ElenaI could feel the heat of two bodies pressed against me—one at my front, the other at my back. I lay on my side, my head resting not on a pillow, but on something firmer… stronger.Slowly, I pried my eyes open. Sleep clung stubbornly to my lashes, refusing to let go—but then my gaze landed on Ashton.My breath caught.He was asleep. Deeply.His eyes were shut, lips slightly parted, his messy hair falling over his forehead as his chest rose and fell in steady breaths. My head rested against his arm, our faces far too close, his hand curved possessively over my hip.And just like that, last night came crashing back.Heat flooded my cheeks.They had ruined me with their mouths.God.Which meant—The body pressed against my back had to be Jax.A soft smile tugged at my lips. I leaned forward, brushing a gentle kiss over Ashton’s nose before carefully turning in Jax’s hold.He was asleep too—or so it seemed. His head rested on his arm, hair even more disheveled than Ashton’s, his hand
ElenaThe second Jax’s lips met my pussy, a loud moan tore from my throat.“Jax—” I cried out, the sound broken, desperate.Any foolish hope that he might go slow—ease me into it—vanished instantly.His tongue found my clit without hesitation, like he already knew exactly where it was, flicking over it again and again with relentless precision.“Fuck—” I gasped, pressing myself harder back into Ashton.A low growl vibrated through Jax as he sucked me into his mouth, his tongue circling, teasing, working me over in ways that had my entire body trembling.How did he know?How did he know every spot—every reaction—without ever having touched me like this before?Was that one moment at the pool enough?“You taste so fucking sweet,” Jax murmured against me, his lips glistening with my slick as he looked up at me—hungry—before diving back in.Ashton only made it worse.His hands closed around my breasts, squeezing, kneading before pinching both nipples at once.“Ashton…” I moaned, my body j
Elena When Ashton’s lips crashed against mine, my whole world stilled.My eyes flew wide, a gasp catching in my throat before my hands shot up, clutching his shirt like it was the only thing keeping me grounded. And then—one slow swipe of his tongue against my lips—My eyes fell shut.His mouth moved against mine, slow at first… deliberate… sensual in a way that made my stomach twist.Ashton fucking Sterling… was kissing me.Fuck.Fuck.Fuck.This wasn’t real.But the moment my mind tried to catch up, my body betrayed me.My fingers slid into his hair, gripping, pulling him closer as I kissed him back—harder, faster, desperate. A low sound of approval hummed in his throat, a smile ghosting on his lips before his hands gripped my thighs and shoved me back onto the bed.His body followed.His hips pressed into mine—firm, claiming.Oh my god—A broken moan slipped into his mouth as my grip tightened in his hair, my lips moving against his with a hunger I didn’t even recognize as my own.
ElenaAs the words left his mouth, the room fell into a suffocating silence—thick, heavy, pressing in on my chest. His touch still lingered, warm against my skin, his eyes still locked onto mine with an intensity that made it impossible to breathe.A part of me wanted to pretend I’d misheard him. But my body knew better. Every nerve, every pulse beneath my skin knew exactly what he’d said.“W-what?” The word slipped out anyway, fragile and disbelieving.A slow, knowing smile curled onto his lips at my confusion. Then he leaned in—too close—his mouth brushing mine so lightly it barely counted as a touch.I held my breath.Too soft. Too intimate. Too dangerously eager for a man who was supposed to want nothing to do with me.“You heard me, princess,” he murmured, his voice low, smooth, dragging over my senses, “This wedding isn’t happening. You’ve already won.”“How… how do you know it won’t happen?” I stammered, my voice betraying me. “Dad would never allow that. He wants this.”His fi
Elena I sat there alone in my room after the third shower, scrubbing my skin raw—and I could still feel the burn against my skin.Henry’s hands on me.Filthy. Marking. Leaving his filth all over me.A sob escaped past my lips as I hugged my knees tighter to my chest, closing my eyes shut as I buried my face into them.I had never felt so dirty.But ever since that monster had touched me—and my dad had dismissed it as nothing—the ache in my chest refused to go away.How could Dad…do that?Did I not matter to him at all?Was I just a mere inconvenience to him…something insignificant compared to Henry’s fortune?Or was I just something to be traded…a nuisance weighted against what Henry could provide for this pack or specifically my dad? Another sob slipped past my lips, weaker this time, breaking somewhere in my throat.I just wanted to disappear.I did not want to exist anymore.Every time my wounds stung, the realization sank deeper into my chest—that in this world, there was not one
Jax“You’ve lost your fucking mind,” I spat, the words tearing out of me as I stared at him. I didn’t recognize him—not anymore. Not after what he’d just done. “How could you agree to that? How the hell did you give him your word? Who gave you the right to decide Elena’s life?”My chest heaved, fury clawing its way up my throat.“She nearly got raped by that monster, Ashton!”And still—nothing.Ashton leaned against the wall like none of it mattered, cigarette balanced lazily between his fingers. The lightning of the room was dim and tender, washing the room in a golden glow, the winds made their way inside but none of it, just none of it helped me calm down. The ember of cigarette flared with each drag, the smoke curling into the night air as if it carried no weight… as if he carried none.The sheer audacity of it snapped something inside me.I wanted to tear him apart.Right here. Right now.“Are you seriously just going to stand there and smoke,” I snarled, stepping closer, “like y
