LOGINI weave through the crowded golden ballroom, my eyes scanning the sea of laughing noble wolves. Alpha Kieran is nowhere to be found.Irritation burns deep in my chest. My carefully thought out plan is already beginning to fracture at the edges, and the young King treats his own celebration like an afterthought.I spent months arranging this banquet to secure our political alignment, yet the alpha cannot even bother to remain visible.I spot the Luna Queen standing near the royal dais, surrounded by her handmaidens.Swallowing my mounting anger, I smooth down my tailored velvet suit and approach her to pay my respects. If the son is missing, the mother will know why.“Your Majesty,” I say, offering a flawless, practiced bow. “A truly magnificent evening. However, I noticed the King is no longer in the hall. Is everything well with Alpha Kieran?”The Queen turns to me, her expression radiant with a joy that immediately makes me uneasy.“Ah, Beta Silas. Do not worry yourself. My son neve
My cheek burns like fire. The taste of blood spreading across my tongue. Beta Silas stands over me. “Since when did you know?” he repeats, his voice a deadly, low rumble. I swallow hard. My heart hammers against my ribs so fast it hurts. I squeeze my eyes shut, bracing for the final blow. He knows. He knows I am Alpha Kieran's mate. “Father,” Victoria speaks up, stepping carefully around my kneeling body. “What exactly happened?” Beta Silas sneers, looking down at me as if I were nothing but rot. “She went through her heat. She took a male, Victoria! After everything, after all our plans, I had intended to use her innocence as proof of your own when the king finally took you as his wife. Now that opportunity is gone!” I freeze. My eyes snap open. I look up at his twisted, furious face. He does not know. A wild, hysterical wave of relief washes over me, quickly followed by a new kind of terror. He does not know Alpha Kieran is my mate and also the one who relieved my heat
…~...I manage to slip back into the estate grounds through a hidden gap in the servant's gate.The sun is barely beginning to rise, casting long shadows across the stone courtyards. I navigate the perimeter carefully, avoiding the early patrols.I finally reach the servant quarters and slip into the washroom.The moment I am alone, I drop my ruined clothes into the fire grate and burn them. I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the cracked mirror above the washbasin.I look wrecked.My lips are swollen and bruised. Faint, reddish marks dot my neck and collarbone.But the worst part is the smell.I reek of him. The rich, intoxicating scent of pine, rain, leather, and raw male power soaked into my pores, mixed with the potent scent of our sex.If I walk into that kitchen smelling like the Alpha King's bedsheet, my head will be on a spike before noon.I need extreme measures.I wrap a thin towel around my shivering body and sneak up the back stairs to Lady Victoria's private bathing cha
Morgana's POV.~~~I open my eyes to the sunlight on my face. I blink twice to clear the haze, and for a second I lie there, lost.Where am I? My thought races.The fever is gone.The suffocating, mindless haze of my heat has completely vanished…But in its place, a wave of pure terror crashes down on me.I stop breathing, just as my mind picks up the crushing weight across my waist.I gasp, looking down at the muscular arm holding me tight against a warm, solid chest, and I'm completely naked.Oh goddess.Did he… was he the one who relieved me?Every muscle in my body turns to solid ice as salty tears sting my eyes.After all my efforts, I still couldn't avoid losing my innocence to a total stranger.My tears fall, my shoulders shaking with the rhythmic breathing against my back.Is he a rogue? An outcast?I remember running into the forbidden woods.I must leave.But I also can't help noticing how freezing it is inside the cabin, but I’m enveloped in his heat.I carefully turn my he
The scream she lets out is muffled by my mouth as I crash my lips onto hers. I devour her cry, my tongue sweeping in to claim her mouth.“Fuck,” I hiss, breaking the kiss as I cup her face, my thumb brushing her swollen lips.She is so tight. Gripping me like a velvet fist. Her walls ripple around my thick length, trying to adjust to the sudden stretch.I feel my own skin stretching, a sensation so intense it brings tears of primal rage and joy to my eyes.My cock fills her completely, bottoming out against her womb, branding her from the inside out.I give her no time.I pull back and slam in again, my hips beginning a savage, relentless drive.The wet slap of skin on skin fills the cabin, mixed with her cries and my low, animalistic growls.I am a beast tonight.A monster, a king who took his throne in blood, and I am claiming my mate.Every thrust is a declaration. Mine. Mine. Mine.I pull her legs wider, my thumbs digging into her hips to hold her in place as I hammer into her.Ea
I capture her lips, devouring them hungrily.My tongue invades her mouth, tasting her desperation, swallowing her moans as her body arches into mine.Her hands fist my shirt, pulling me closer even as she trembles.“You followed me,” I rasp, burying my face in the crook of her neck. She smells of ruin.I inhale deeply, my nose brushing against the soft skin of her throat. She is burning up. I can feel the frantic thrum of her pulse against my lips.“Mine,” I growl against her throat, dragging my teeth down the delicate column. I suck hard, marking her pale skin.She bucks.“Alpha... please…” she gasps, her voice jagged, broken.I pull back and rip the dress from her shoulders in one brutal tug. It fell away, baring her to the waist.My breath hitches as her full, perfect breasts spill out, pale and heaving with her panicked breaths in the dim light. They are heavy with the weight of her arousal, the nipples already dark and painfully erect. Begging.I don't hesitate.I latch onto one
Kieran's POV: ...~•☆☆•~... I had just left Victoria. For more than an hour, I held her. I promised her protection, and I let her weep into my shirt. All because I was waiting for someone else. Morgana. But she never showed up, and it is driving me absolutely insane. One thing I have alwa
“You're in heat?” Lady Victoria mutters incoherently, her eyes wide with shock.“I'm sorry, my lady. Can you please repeat? I did not hear what you said.”My voice trembles, my breath coming in short, ragged gasps as the fire in my veins burns hotter.A look of pure evil washes over Lady Victoria's
“Alpha Kieran! Help me!” I scream.The words tear from my throat, raw and desperate, echoing against the stone walls of the chamber.For one fleeting second, I believe the door will burst open. I believe my mate will stride inside, his silver eyes blazing with the protective fury I witnessed in the
Morgana’s POV ~~⋆꩜˚𓇼˚꩜⋆~~ “Caspian!” a sharp but cracked voice filled with misery speaks. Lady Mira. My eyes widen with terror as cold dread pours down my spine, freezing the blood in my veins. “Caspian, stop!” Mira sobs, her fingers gripping the edge of the tapestry so tightly her knuckles tu
