LOGINKnox’s pov The first threads of consciousness pulled me awake in the dark. My room was quiet except for the soft rhythm of Mila’s breathing beside me. Moonlight cut through the half-open blinds, painting silver across her bare skin. She was curled on her side facing me, one leg tangled with mine, the sheet slipped low enough to bare the curve of her waist and the swell of her breast.My cock was already hard and aching, like my body had been waiting for her even in sleep. The memory of earlier, her moans, the way she’d clenched around me, the way she’d begged me to fill her flooded back and turned the ache into a throb. “I need to feel her” Nikal growled “Be careful” I told him and gave him control He rolled toward her, careful at first, then not. I pressed my chest to her back, letting her feel exactly what she did to me.Mila stirred, a sleepy little hum escaping her throat as my hand slid over her hip and cupped her between her thighs. She was still slick from before, warm an
Mila’s pov…The door to Knox's room clicked shut behind us, and I whimpered as I felt his need enclosing the space.My heart was already hammering, a wild rhythm that matched the heat pooling low in my belly. I'd barely taken two steps inside before his hands were on me and pinning me against the wall with his body."Mila," he growled, voice low and gravelly, the kind that always made my knees weak. His breath fanned hot across my lips“You've been driving me fucking crazy all night, your mask looked hot on you."I tilted my chin up, meeting those green eyes that burned with hunger. "Good because you've been doing the same to me."His mouth crashed down on mine then, no more patience left. The kiss was fire and it was demanding and deep. I moaned into it, my fingers threading through his thick hair, tugging hard enough to make him groan. God, he tasted so good, and I wanted to drown in it.Knox's hands roamed around my body, sliding down my sides, gripping my hips and pulling me flus
Mila’s POVMy chest heaved as I stood frozen in the middle of the forest.The mate bond pulsed wildly now, hot with panic and fury and something like fear.I barely had time to turn before he burst through the trees and goddess i had never seen him look like that before.His black shirt was half open from running,his dark hair messy and his eyes glowing bright gold beneath his wolf mask. His breathing was uneven as he searched the clearing frantically before finally landing on me.“Mila.”“I’m okay,” I said quickly.But Knox was already moving toward me and his hands grabbed my arms immediately, checking me for injuries with sharp frantic movements.“What happened?” he demanded.“I”A branch snapped nearby and both our heads turned instantly, it was Kreda.She still stood half-hidden in the shadows, her hood back over her hair now, black cloak covering her face again but Knox saw her.His expression darkened immediately.“Kreda?”she turned sharply and bolted deeper into the forest.
Mila’s POVThe forest was alive tonight, The Hunt had officially begun and somewhere behind me Knox was chasing me.My pulse jumped at the thought.I pushed through thick branches, laughing breathlessly as my dress caught slightly against a low bush before slipping free again. Moonlight filtered through the trees in silver streaks, painting the forest in something almost magical.My mask shifted slightly as I ran, it was silver abd beautiful and entirely useless when my heartbeat was loud enough to betray me.I could feel him even without seeing him. The mate bond pulsed warm beneath my skin, alive and aware in a way that made running almost impossible.Because some part of me I leapt over a fallen log, my boots barely touching the wood before landing smoothly on the other side.I needed to move faster, behind me, somewhere distant, a branch snapped, he was getting closer.Way too close and i grinned despite myself.“Absolutely not,” I muttered under my breath.The Hunt wasn’t suppos
General Elise’s POVI hated traditions and most importantly i hated my brother.I will never forget or forgive him for what he’s done “Stop glaring at me,” Elliot said beside me, adjusting the dark silver mask covering half his face.“I’m imagining your funeral.” I grimaced “That’s rude.”“That’s me being honest.”He sighed dramatically.“We shared a womb.”“Worst nine months of my life.”That earned a bark of laughter from Caleb nearby while Conrad pinched the bridge of his nose like he regretted allowing either of us near them.I crossed my arms, glaring at Elliot harder.The idiot looked entirely too pleased with himself after winning our spar earlier.He’d been unbearable all afternoon.“Still mad I beat you?” he asked smugly.I smiled sweetly.“I’m going to poison your breakfast tomorrow.”“There she is,” he said proudly. “My loving sister.”“I’m serious.”“I know.”The horn sounded across the clearing before I could think of a more creative threat. Immediately, the atmosphere
General Sasha’s POVI hated dresses.That was the first thing I thought as I stood near the forest line watching dozens of women sprint dramatically into the woods like frightened deers.Ugh Silk and lace.Absolute nonsense, I preferred my battle armor and swords.The stupid dark green tunic they’d forced me into for the Hunt at least let me move properly, but the gold detailing stitched around the sleeves was unnecessary.I tugged at the collar anyway and beside me, Beta Caleb snorted.“You look offended by your own clothes.”“I am.”“You clean up nicely though.”I gave him a flat stare.“You’re lucky I respect you.”He laughed under his breath and the horn echoed through the night.The Hunt had begun.Women scattered everywhere, theirmasks flashing through moonlight as the men prepared to follow.Most males here looked eager and predatory.I was meant to run but unlike everyone else I wasn’t running but rather I was hunting.And I was hunting a problem, a beautiful one.My gaze dri
Mila’s POV….The moment the words left Knox’s mouth“It’s good.”something inside my chest loosened.I hadn’t realized how I'd been waiting for his verdict I’d been until that moment.For a second, I just stood there beside the table, the serving spoon still in my hand, staring at him like I’d mishe
Knox’s POV….. 15 Years ago….The sun had been warm that afternoon.I remember that clearly. The way it filtered through the trees, the way the grass smelled freshly cut, the way Bastian laughed like the world was simple.He was older than me by two years. But he was smaller and more faster on his
Mila’s POV…..I didn't want to hear anything else he had to say.I was just about to push myself off the couch.The room felt too small, too heavy with everything that had just happened. The lake, the chase and the kiss he said meant nothing.I didn’t want to sit there anymore, didn’t want to brea
Mila’s POV…..His mouth was still on mine when the shock finally caught up to me.For one suspended second, I forgot about the lake, forgot about the cold, forgot about the wolves and the chase and the way my lungs had been burning seconds ago.There was only him.His lips were firm, insistent not
