Yes, Volkov wolves are different; they do not need the bite of a female for the Bond to Anchor, but other wolves do, even Lycans. The Volkov wolves are an entirely different breed on their own, well in my universe anyway :)
After two weeks of spending time with Fenriz, I already feel like I’ve fallen in love with him. I know it sounds silly, given the person he is, but I cannot help the way I feel. He may be a dangerous Lycan, but he treats me like a queen. He makes me smile and laugh until I can’t breathe, and when he tells me about his past, he leaves nothing out, not even the bloody parts.My trust in him is growing, whereas my faith in Ahmya is fading. She hasn’t spoken to me for the last two weeks, not even when I call her, but I can feel her anger building. It is the reason why I told Fenriz that I won’t be tagging along with him for the next week, that I need to train with my fox. He looked ruffled by it, but he said it should be okay since he had no big meetings scheduled.So here I am, sitting in the garden and trying to converse with my fox before her anger explodes and everyone gets caught in the fallout./“Ahmya, please talk to me,”/ I start, and even though I sense her, I do not see her. /“
“So every night for the last four years, she’s had a dream where she kills you but feels sad about it?” Andreas asks when I tell him what Umiko told me last night.“Yeah, not only that, but she received that fox four years ago as well. If this doesn’t prove that Ahmya is grooming her to kill me, especially with the training they’ve been doing, then I don’t know what is.” I say as we walk up to my office.Things are starting to get clear to me now, and they all revolve around that fucking fox. “Shit, and making you look like the bad guy isn’t exactly hard, I mean, no offense, but look at what she has to work with,” Andreas says, and I cannot fault him. When have I ever been the good guy? I’m the one who kills, not the one who comforts. However, even as I think this, my mind goes to last night and how Umiko clung to me for safety after her nightmare. She wanted me next to her and literally could not control her arousal as I held her. But I don’t know when she eventually nodded off bec
I watch my parents drive away, and the gravity of what I had just agreed to hits me. My mother wants me to have a child with Fenriz before she dies, and I fully agreed to it without even thinking it over.What in the world made me say yes? What made me want to make my mother happy even though she never cared about my happiness? Not only that, but I agreed to it without Fenriz even saying it's okay!“Umiko,” his voice cuts through my panicked thoughts, and my head snaps towards him. He walks over to me with his hands in the pockets of his slacks and smiles slightly. “Are you okay?”I don’t know why it happened, but as soon as he asked me this, it was as if a floodgate opened, and I just broke down in tears. He wraps his arms around me in a warm embrace and simply holds me close while I let out whatever is pent up inside of me.Hurt, anger, disappointment, and sadness - everything that little girl felt while trapped in her childhood home without any help from her siblings or mother. I j
Umiko grabs my hand as I get onto my motorcycle and peers up at me with those eyes that get my blood pumping every time.“Do you have to go?” she asks, even though she knows the answer.I draw my hand to her cheek and caress it softly. “I’m doing this for us; remember that. No matter what it takes, I will die before I hurt you.” I say, then place a kiss on her forehead. “When I come back, there’s something else I will need to discuss with you, and it concerns your fox.”She nods, and her bottom lip trembles, but she takes a step back from the motorcycle so that I can go. “I’ll wait for you,” she says with a smile.I take this last image of her and bury it deep in my heart before speeding away. Fuck knows I’ll need it as an anchor for what I am about to do, for what Baron and I are about to face. Truth be told, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay there with her and just get lost in her. But that could be dangerous for both of us, especially since I don’t exactly know what will ha
My heart is still pounding when Fenriz picks me up in his arms and carries me over to the shower. A few minutes ago, I almost lost my life when dumb luck and stupid courage saved me. I’m just happy that I’ve been training with Ahmya; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to conjure my tails or strength. After placing me on the tiled floor, Fenriz regulates the water, then turns to me. He puts one hand on my hip and the other on the back of my neck as he peers down at me.“Are you sure you’re ready? We don’t have to do this simply because your mother asked for a grandchild; we can wait until you’re ready,” he says, stroking my cheek gently with the pad of his thumb.I shake my head. “I want this; I want you,” I say while blushing and Fenriz nods before leaning down to claim my mouth with a fierce kiss. I wrap my arms around him to return the embrace and absolutely love the feeling of his skin on mine. His body is all muscle, yet I still mold myself into him. I close my eyes when he ki
I can still feel Umiko’s tears on my shoulder as I continue to hold her against me. She’s fallen asleep after our bond anchored; I think everything just overwhelmed her. I lay her down next to me and cover her with the comforter while still holding her in my arms./“You kept your promise,”/ I tell Baron, and a look of pride shines in his eyes./“I did, but even as your bond anchored, Ahmya refused to meet my gaze,”/ he says sadly. /“Perhaps she’ll speak to me next time.”/I frown at this. /“You two did nothing while we bonded? How is that even possible?”/ He huffs. /“She’s rejected me physically even as her host accepted me, and I still do not know why.”/“We need to find out the reason behind her betrayal; a spirit not accepting her mate’s spirit is unheard of. Something must have happened, Baron, and I need you to start racking your brain over what that could be. Think of anything that could have gone wrong before she took you to Xamnir.”/ I say, remembering the look of utter sadne
Hi there, readers! I have a question I would like to ask all of you. If you've read any of my previous books, you'll note that my chapters aren't really that long. I've wanted to keep these chapters in short bursts like I did with Nikolai and Dimitri's book, but I am finding that there's just too much happening with Umiko and Fenriz that it is impossible to keep the chapters short. The reason why I used to keep my chapters below 2k words is because the more words I write per chapter, the more you pay to unlock them. So my question is, did you guys like the long chapter where Fenriz and Umiko claimed one another, even though it cost you a bit more? Should I continue with my longer chapters? Please let me know, your feedback is very much appreciated!
“There’s something different about you,” my mother remarks while looking me up and down with narrowed eyes. We’re currently having breakfast together before we start our day, and I’ve been in her presence for less than ten minutes before she said this. Can people see when you’ve had sex for the first time? Oh, Gods, does she know?! I play coy and shrug. “I have developed confidence since becoming a Luna, mother. There are people who depend on my council,” I say with my back ramrod straight. Her brows continue to furrow when she looks at me, then she offers me a tight-lipped smile and reaches for my hand to give it a squeeze. “It is lovely to hear the confidence in your voice and to actually see it for myself. I feared for your life when your father told me who he wanted to give you to; in fact, I didn’t even expect you to still be alive right now.” She admits, shaking her head. I expected the same, but I won’t tell her that. “You do not have to worry, mother, Fenriz treats me w
