Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 1 : Groomed
Ayda's POVI felt his calloused hands spreading my thighs open, the rough grit of his cheek as he kissed a line from my navel to my core. I swallowed back a moan, fingers ghosting over my parted lips to keep the sound in. Embarrassed for him to hear me, for anyone to hear me—the Princess of the Emerald Lake pack—panting like a common whore in the throes of heat. His tongue, half-transformed, slipped between my delicate folds and lapped at my sweet virginal essence with the fervor of a starved man. He rumbled, like he was savoring the taste, like I was some finely aged liquor, fragrant and heady on his tongue.Gentle he was no more.I gasped, back bowing, as my nipples tightened from the chill of the room warring with the heat I could feel engulfing me. His grip was almost bruising; I could feel the flex of his tendons as he fought the change. Fought to not take me as a beast but as a man. He had my curling toes in the silk of his sheets, crimson like most of the room. A for
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 2 : The Spare
Ayda's POV I craned my head back until my neck wouldn't allow me to go any further.And still, I could not make out the end of the fan-vaulted ceilings. Only that it had been painted or sculpted in such a way that it appeared to look like an eternal night sky. Pinpricks of candelabra light peeked through the dense indigo-like starlight, winking in ways that made me suspect that perhaps magic was real. A giant chandelier was suspended in the center, bigger than any carriage I'd ever ridden in, done in the form of a stylized black moon.A symbol of whose court I was in.The elusive Obsidian Moon pack.The most powerful of us all.August took that exact moment to spit up on my pressed shirt front."Nam-Nah!" he said, proud of himself and the mess he'd made. The looks the staff was giving us as I searched my pockets for a handkerchief. Like silver-edged daggers…I put my olive suitcase down, my only one as I didn't have much, and wiped at the mashed
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 3 : Brother
Sebastian's POV "Brother, if you're listening, I regret to inform you that your fiancé is a stone-cold bitch.," I say as I look up at the ceiling."F*cking Furies!" It took everything in me not to howl my frustration like a barely whelped pup. But here I was, in the library that you and Mother loved, drinking whiskey alone like an old drunk. It wasn't even half past 3:00, and the day was already shit. "Goddess above me, strike me down where I rest. Please."It was in poor taste to say that, Alex's death still so fresh and Father's grief still so raw, but what was I to think? To say?Narcissa was bleeding our coffers dry with this sham of a wedding, Tartarus bent on whatever deranged goal she had in mind.Originally, Father had given me the money as part of my inheritance, a way for me to show what a capable leader I could be. I had planned to use it to fix major structural issues in the surrounding villages, maybe even start a home for packless women and child
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 4 : Rumors
Ayda's POV The next few days passed on like a dream, the moments blurring into the next until I couldn't quite recall what day it was.August was happy, though; he had charmed the whole castle, even the authoritarian Mr. Galanis!Working for Narcissa was a challenge; her mood changed like the wind. Pleasant enough to stand one moment and on the warpath the next. I hadn't been on the receiving end of one of her darker moods, and I did not wish to be. She delighted in causing agony in those that offended her with the gleeful nature of a Fury. Adamant on twisting the proverbial knife where one was most vulnerable once she wrestled you into a false sense of security.Well, proverbial in this sense, if the rumors are to be true.I never had the opportunity to meet Prince Alex, even when I still had my standing as a princess of Emerald Lake. He'd been five years my senior and hadn't had the time to make eyes at a girl when there were women to entertain. Not th
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 5 : My Shining Light
Ayda's POV When I was a young girl, I remember my father taking me by the hand to show me our kingdom."What do you think we own?" he asked me as he held me up so I could see over the balcony."The lake, the trees, that…place over there with the nasty vegetables!" When Father laughed, it shook his belly, jostled it around like he was made of those gelatin delights my mother coveted when she was with child."We do own those! You are correct, My Shining Light! But what else?""Those houses! That train! The horses in the stable?""Yes, but what if I told you I owned the very stars you see above you?""You can't own that, Daddy! Only the Gods can!""Right again, but not 100% right. I may not own them like I do the horses, or the train, or the houses—""—or the lake, or the trees, or the nasty vegetables—""—but I do own my dreams! When the Gods gave us shape, they fashioned each of us with a soul. A purpose. A dream. A hope. And so, a star
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 6 : Packing
Ayda's POV "I think you should wait," Nicolette was sitting on my bed, folding my clothes to pack away in my suitcase as I gathered Gus' toys to put into my baby bag. She wore a white nightgown, curly hair—free of the confines of the regulation chignon—cascading around her shoulders in a most becoming way. She stroked at a green summer gown I was fond of, one of the last presents I'd received from my family before my banishment. "It's dark, and the driver has already gone home for the night.""I'll be fine."We both knew that the moment I uttered those words, it was a lie, but what else could I say? The moment with the prince had pried open memories I'd rather have left behind at Emerald Lake. Of another Alpha from beyond my father's mountains, of gunmetal gray hair and lurid eyes like Hephaestus' flames. I couldn't suppress the shiver that racked my body, still feeling Alpha Alaric's course fingers around my neck. Tonight was just a reminder that no Alpha w
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 7 : - The Party
Ayda's POV His mouth dragged down to my pulse point, tasting the ebb and flow of my heart as he did things with his fingers that made me keen. I tried to close my legs to the intrusion pretending that I wasn't enthralled with his touch, but he would have none of it. He flicked his wrist, thumb circling my cl*t in tight circles that had me crying, my nails clawing into his broad back as I rushed to my release. There was no lying to him; it was as if he knew my body as well as I did.Then he pulled away, laughing as he did."Not yet," he panted, biting my earlobe. I could feel the texture of his stubble against my cheek, making me shiver at the masculine touch. "I want to feel you cum around my cock. I want to feel your sweet cunt ripple with pleasure. Could you do that for me? Will you do that for me?"I couldn't speak, trapped between his hot body and the chill of the silk red sheets, so I nodded instead.He bit my shoulder hard before kissing it."
Alpha's Secret Mate Chapter 8 : The Withering Fang Pub
Ayda's POV I knew it was stupid of me to drink as much as the others, being a mother of one so young, but by the time the waitress topped off my goblet, I couldn't remember why drinking had been such a bad idea after all.The Withering Fang Pub was a charming little bar made out of the charred innards of a manor's undercroft that had burned down during the Uprising. It was owned by a man named Georgios Papadakis and his wife Gabriella, who met during the Uprising along the Bornite-Chalcopyrite border on opposing sides. They'd both been mercenaries rented out to lesser lords to protect their lands from the common folk whilst also simultaneously trying to gain the others' territory. They'd been trapped in a manor house when the fires began, unwilling to leave due to fears of being caught in the crossfire outside. So, they had to learn to rely upon each other just to survive.Hearing them tell the tale was both gripping and romantic, especially when Gabriella dec
