How is it that sex can change you from a completely innocent and shy version to someone you barely even recognize?โHmmm,โ I moaned during a particularly dirty dream involving Fenriz and his rough hand. He caresses my skin with his kisses, his rough, stubbled beard leaving goosebumps in their wake. โPlease,โ I beg as his kisses move downward, and he stops at my mound, splaying my sex open just for him to admire. When he looks up at me, he lets out a growl filled with so much need that his irises splitโฆand when his tongue meets my clit, I let out an unrestrained moan.A moan that sounded too loud to be a dream.I wrench my eyes open, and my back arches from the bed when I feel Fenriz in between my legs pleasuring me. His tongue works circles around my hard nub while he has two fingers pumping away inside of me.โFenriz,โ I moan out his name for the first time in days, and as soon as I do, he stops his assault from between my legs, and I gasp when he slams his hardened cock painfully i
Iโm standing on the border of DC and am aware that if I step over, the Horsemen warriors will descend on me and take me to their Alpha. It doesnโt bother me, though, since thatโs exactly what Iโm hoping for.In my fatherโs memories, Mia had said that her brother was aware of her need to escape and would help her leave the States. So, for over ten years, the simmering war between Ryker and I has been for nothing, and the agreement between us has been null and void since he broke it.And here I thought there was honor in being an MC president.I take a step over the threshold, and not even five minutes later, I hear the rumbling of Harleyโs in the distance. Chuckling, I take a slow walk with my hands tucked into the pockets of my jeans and wait for them to encircle me. I decided to ditch the suit today and wear my usual biker attire with my hair loose; thereโs no point in trying to look proper in front of a man who knows where my sons are hidden away.Five men eventually surround me, an
Day three, and Iโve finally reached Alpha Andreiโs castle hidden deep in the Bavarian Alps. I contacted him before making my way there, just in case he wasnโt too keen on seeing me, but apparently, he has some news concerning my โdeadโ Luna Bride.So, here I am trekking through fucking mountains and forests, just to see someone who might have a lead for me. What the fuck; I should be at home with my Luna and love; instead, Iโm here chasing her ghost, like a carrot being dangled from behind me.When I eventually reach the Nachtmahr pack fortress, I canโt help but scoff at what Iโm seeing. Itโs a literal fucking stone keep castle with guards up on the turrets and everything; it even has a moat with alligators - what the actual fuck. How are these animals alive in these ass-freezing conditions?Talk about European wolves not being able to let go of the past. Iโm sure he thinks he still rules Germany.โChrist,โ I remark and chuckle to myself. I know this pack is all about keeping their te
โSeriously, Andreas, you donโt have to babysit me every day!โ I say for the fifth time as Andreas joins me for lunch once again. Itโs been five days since I last heard from Fenriz when he sent me a text apologizing for not saying goodbye and that he would keep in touch. I suppose he didnโt call me because of my voice issue, but it has gradually returned by the day. I can even hold an entire conversation with Andreas now! Speaking of which, the Beta seems to be overprotective of me since Fenriz left; he goes into town to take care of Vega business and then immediately returns to the estate. Itโs not that I donโt appreciate what heโs doing; I just donโt want him to feel like he needs to constantly be at my side because Fenriz isnโt here. โBabysitting! Is that what you call me being here?โ he asks in a mock-hurt tone and places a hand on his heart, which leads me to giggle. โIโm hurt, Luna!โ โNo, itโs not that I donโt like your company, not at all! I just donโt want you to feel oblig
I turn around to face the woman I once would have died for, and when my eyes fall on her, I feel nothing in my chest but rage. She offers me an innocent smile that does not reach her eyes, and it occurs to me that she no longer looks as pure and gentle as I once assumed her to be. โWhen you told me that you had information for me about my dead Luna, I didnโt think it would actually be my dead Luna,โ I growl when I face Alpha Andrei again, and he laughs uproariously. โI wasnโt sure if youโd come knowing she was here all along; in fact, I feared that you might kill me if you knew,โ he says. I turn my gaze back to Mia, who shuffles uncomfortably. โYou have five minutes to bring my son to me; I donโt give a fuck about your reasons for leaving,โ I say, watching as astonishment fills her eyes. Did she honestly think this was going to be a warm reunion? She shakes her head. โIโm afraid thatโs not going to happen, Fenriz -โ โAnd why the fuck not?โ I growl, stalking toward her, but Klaus
An entire week has passed, and the worry is starting to set deep in my bones. I can tell that Andreas is worried as well, and the realization doesnโt do anything to make me feel better. He refuses to talk about anything to do with Fenriz and continues to reassure me that everything is okay. I would have continued to believe that if the door to the mansion didnโt bang open while Andreas and I were in the middle of mid-morning tea. We look at one another for a split second, then rush to where we heard the sound coming from. I expected a happy reunion when I saw Fenriz again, expecting him to swoop me up into his arms and kiss me all over before showing me how much he missed me in our bedroom. What I did not expect was a haggard-looking Fenriz flanked by two terrified teenage girls. โANDREAS!โ he bellows, and the Beta runs out to meet him. Heโs wearing a tattered pair of jeans and a t-shirt with black hiking boots and seems exhausted right to the bone. I hear a huff as he falls to th
I donโt know how long I sat staring at the door after Umiko left; all I know is that I think I might have ruined whatever we were building up by allowing my emotions to cloud my judgment.As much as I hate to admit it, everything she said is true; I chose Mia over her when I should have stayed here. I still donโt even know why her father placed that bind on her, but I decided to go halfway around the world in search of a maybe.I fucked up. Royally.Sighing, I get up from my knees, throw on some clothes and walk to my office, where Andreas should be waiting with the twins. I only managed to tell him that they were our new charges before I passed out from exhaustion.The twins were like newborn wolves once they shifted, and I can tell you now that looking after literal newborn wolves is not an easy feat. Theyโve always been confined to their basement cell, so theyโve never felt the pull and sway of the moon on their bare skin. So once they felt it, they went ballistic. It was a good f
This city stinks of so much greed and lust that I have to restrain myself from vomiting. And yet here I am, surveying it all in the highest building right in the middle of it all and queen to this kingdom of decadence. Nothing about being here has made my head clear, and I still donโt know how to feel about this. My stomach randomly growls in protest, and I canโt help but chuckle at the normalcy of it. I suppose I haven't eaten since Andreas and I had lunch together before Fenriz arrived. So I order some food to be delivered, then sit down on the leather couch in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows.Obviously, I feel hurt by everything, but what exactly is the reason Fenriz tried to keep this from me? I would have understood his reasons for going if he had just told me about it. I mean, he might have had a child out there that he knew nothing about; of course, I would have understood his need to find out. Not only that, but if he told me Mia was still alive, I would have und
I look at Arkyn laying in the middle of the water and starting to stir; today, he turns five years old and will awaken once more. He looks just like Fenriz, but my Asian features are prominent as well, especially the shape of his eyes. I've allowed his hair to grow out too, just like his father's. The last few years have been hell but worth it in the end. This morning Hikari climbed the snowy mountain, and when she put her hands on Arkyn, a bright smile spread over her face. โTheyโve stopped,โ is all she said before telling me that sheโll be on her way to collect Fenriz and bring him to us. Then she looked down at my swollen belly. โShe will be ready to emerge as well.โ The last time Fenriz visited me, he knotted me without thinking. Not that Iโm unhappy that it happened, but weโve already had to face this with Arkynโฆ now I might have to stay up here for another five years. Hikari rushed my pregnancy along so that we can see if this will be the case again. To be honest, I donโt wa
Andreas Acting Alpha is nothing like actually being Alpha, but it still means that I have to put in the same amount of work as Fenriz. I was trained by my uncle to be a Beta to the Vega Alpha, and it helped a lot that Fenriz was actually my best friend already; he trusted me, and I would lay down my life for him. For the last few days Iโve had to be acting Alpha so I didnโt even have time to spend with Freyja; just when we were getting closer too. She speaks to me more and tells me about her hopes and dreams for the future; I get giddy when she does because Iโm always in the plans with her. I never would have thought that the Goddess would bless me with a second chance mate, but here I am and every day I get to see her face is a blessing in itself. She doesnโt even see the ugly scar, the same as Kalea; in fact, she says it makes me even more beautiful in her eyes. I scoff at this memory, but a stupid smile still manages to find its way onto my lips. /โSend a car,โ/ Fenrizโs voice
The only thing I got from Hikariโs words was that my son has been in constant pain since the day he was born; a pain we werenโt even aware of. Someone back home will die for their incompetence. โIs there anything we can do to take away his pain?โ I ask, holding my arms out to Hanabi so she can hand over my child. โThere must be something we can do to make this transition easier.โ Hikari looks at Arkyn in my arms before settling her eyes on Umiko. She remains quiet for a while, a long fucking while if you ask me, but when a wistful look crosses her face, I knew that whatever sheโs about to say canโt be good. โThere is; we normally reserve it for clan members who canโt control their spirits and require a tranquil place to set things right,โ she starts. โIt is a lake inside a cavern in Mount Yลtei, they lay in the waters, and it takes the anguish and discomfort away until theyโre ready.โ โOkay, well, can we go right now? Is it possible?โ Umiko steps closer to me and asks, her worrie
The last few days spent with my sister ended up being some of the most memorable ones! We went shopping, we stayed up late to chat, Fenriz had amiable chats with the Takahashi brothers, and I learned more about my sister than I ever have before. The only thing that still worries me to death is the fact that Arkyn is still the same; the whimpering, the sleepless nights, and shedding tears without actually crying out loud. Homura thinks that I missed that look on her face when she touched Arkyn, but I didnโt. She felt something when she touched my son, but now sheโs refusing to admit it. Sheโs a sorceress, albeit not stronger than our eldest sister, so she must have seen or felt something. Now itโs our last day at her estate, and sheโs still refusing to speak with me about it. I donโt know how else to get the information out of her; begging doesnโt seem to help, nor is nagging. โI saw nothing, Umi; stop this now!โ she says for the umpteenth time, huffing out an annoyed sigh. โDonโt
I wanted to say no to taking a week off, but the defeated look on her face took the words right out of my mouth. Not to mention Andreas and his bitching about me needing this and how it would be good not only for me but for Umiko and Arkyn as well.Her actions by sucking me off while I was busy with important business partners nearly made me put a stop to it, but then I saw her naked on my desk and lost all reason.So here I am, getting ready to leave the private jet at Osaka International with a wife whoโs nearly jumping up and down at the thought of seeing her sisters again. Arkyn didnโt rest well on the flight over at all, so how is she so excited and pretending like we barely slept for five hours on the trip over?It must be a mother thing.โThere they are! There they are!โ Umiko cries out when we see two parked Bentleys on the tarmac and just as she steps out of the plane, so do two women who, oddly enough, looked like younger versions of their mother. The only thing different is
I thought Fenriz was cruel before, but now I know he is. Rushing out of his office and feeling mortified to my core, I run to our bedroom and lock myself in the bathroom. Of course, Fenriz wouldnโt take his anger out on me with violence, heโll find something else to torment me with. And he knew exactly how to do it. Oh, I am so angry right now! Not sure if itโs at Fenriz or myself, but I feel incredibly frustrated to the point that I want to scream! /โItโs called being sexually frustrated,/โ Ahmya chuckles in my subconscious, and I seriously want to punch her right now. /โHey, donโt give me that look! The best you can do is to get him back for doing it.โ/ Her words are like iced water on my burning anger, and I frown. /โGet him back? Just so he can do it again? I donโt think so!โ/ She shakes her head. /โNo, I donโt mean stopping his release, but prolonging it,โ/ she says. /โAhmya, Iโm not some sexual vixen who knows how to seduce a man. Where would I even start?โ/ I sigh before
I knew something was off as soon as I smelled a different scent, but I didnโt expect to see Umiko wrapped up in the arms of another man.โSomeone better explain to me what the fuck is going on before I start breaking necks,โ I groan as I get to my feet, still completely out of it and feeling woozy. Umiko runs over to me and places my arm over her shoulder. โIโm notโฆ going to ask again.โThe anxiety is thick in her scent when she peers up at me, but then she looks over to the man standing next to what I can only assume is Kaenโs dead body. She sighs, then smiles at the man. Itโs only when I look up at him that I notice that he looks suspiciously like Kaen himself.โHis name is Asahi-โโI donโt give a fuck what his name is, Umiko. I want to know why heโs here and what the fuck happened while I was out.โ I grumble, then look back at the manโฆthen he bows.โApologies if I have offended you, Alpha Fenriz. Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Kaen Asahi, and Umiko is my youngest sister,โ
FenrizโAre you sure?โโAffirmative, Alpha; Kaen has just landed and is departing his private jet with his entourage in tow.โUmiko, Andreas, and I look at one another with the thrum of something unspoken passing between the three of us. Weโve planned for this since Ahmya told us of his plans, and now we have to act on it - Kaen dies today, and thatโs the end of it.After our defenses were breached without me even being aware of anything, I decided that it would be best to have witches back in theUsuallyormally the pack leaders back in Norway would get the best witches to match the pack, but since my father had all the witches killed last time and Erik Helseth is conspiring against us, I couldnโt risk it.Iโve had to ask Kai for help, so two days ago, he sent his own witch to fortify my barriers. Itโs been working better than I hoped; I can sense whenever a non-Vega pack member enters my territory.All but Kaen - the bastard must have cloaked himself.โFunny that he should come on the
A knock on the bedroom door gets my attention while Iโm burping Arkyn, and when I look up, itโs straight into Freyjaโs green eyes. She hasnโt left her bedroom for over two weeks and refused to see anyone, even Andreas, so the fact that sheโs here leaves me surprised.โFreyja, love,โ I murmur and beckon her over to sit next to me on the bed after Iโve put Arkyn back in his crib. She sighs, then walks over and sits in the space Iโve gestured, but when she eventually looks into my eyes, I see a broken woman.One I can relate to.โI was born today twenty-six years ago,โ she whispers, then looks down again, and tears fall into her open palms. โFrigga and I always said that one day when we escape out of the hole, we would shift and run for every birthday that follows to signify our freedom, but nowโฆ now Iโm alone and without the person I loved more than myself.โHer shoulders donโt even shake as she silently cries, but I can tell from her racing heart and melancholic scent that no matter ho
