ログインAll of the animosity trained from her face, replaced by confusion. "I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you get the answers you seek. But it is a very dangerous time right now. You are standing in the crosshairs of a volatile conflict. We have not been able to confirm where everyone's loyalties stand. For your own sake and that of your sister, it would be better for you to return to her right now. Stay away because the blood of many wolves is going to be shed.""I can't leave, not yet. Tell me what happened. Have you tried negotiations? I didn't come here for that, but maybe I can help." Truthfully, the last thing I wanted to involve myself with was a war. Hycinth needed me now more than ever.Sydney replied flatly, "We're at war because Hycinth left him."And then I understood...My heart sank.Swallowing thickly, I tried to contain my dread. "What happened to Leander?" Somehow, I just knew I wasn't going to like the answer.For the first time, all of her defenses were gone. Her bott
RAYMOND'S POVNow that I finished with Henry, my anger partially sated, but not done. I made my way to Aurora. She looked up at me with wide, shocked eyes.Shocked. But not afraid of what had just happened.That’s my strong little mouse, I thought with pride.The Moon had gotten it right. She had the fortitude necessary, the internal strength required to be an amazing Luna. Now, I was going to have to find a way to get her pregnant so quickly and see what to do with her later.But before I got to any of that, I still had business to attend. “I wanted to see Renee and the wolves who were involved in all this shit.”“Are those wolves who were guarding around here?” I asked her. She looked around the room, studying the many wolves. Before she could identify one, one named Samuel made his way through the wolves to stand in front of them. I could smell the sharp stench of fear coming off of him. He stuttered instantly, “I-It…was me.”I glared at him, hot fury consuming me once more. Alpha
Raymond ignored him and walked over to a nearby wall, mounted with various weapons, and selected a ten-inch blade. He twirled the knife casually between his fingers as he made his way back to Henry, who was now fully naked, crying pathetically, his body slick with cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably under the harsh dungeon lights.“Oh shit!” The words slipped from my lips before I could stop them.Flashbacks swam behind my eyelids. Raymond's animalistic expression as he threatened to kill me himself after giving birth to his heir. I’d believed now that he was capable of it. Now, I was almost certain I knew what was going to happen.But I couldn’t have been more wrong.Because it was so much worse.Never in my wildest nightmares had I ever imagined what Raymond was about to do.Raymond’s mouth curled into a wicked smirk. “Do you have a preference? Would you prefer if I yank it off or would you rather I sliced it clean?” Raymond continued to play with the knife, waiting for his resp
"I want Henry to be thrown right now in the dungeon plus the healer", Raymond ordered the guards and gammas who were around. ., "I need to teach a Wolf what happens when he touches what belongs to me." He snarled as he walked out of the room and he didn't even slow down to wait for us. I changed into something dress quickly then walked with Mackline toward the dungeonIn less than a minute after we arrived in the dungeon, Mackline tucked me over to the side near a wall, about five feet away from the fuming Raymond.Henry was soon shoved into the center of the room by the four gammas. His eyes were already wide, darting frantically from Raymond’s thunderous expression to the silver chains bolted into the walls. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the chill.“Raymond .. fuck .. .Alpha... talk to me,” Henry stammered, voice cracking as he tried to twist free. “What the hell is going on? What have I done wrong?. This is a mistake! I’ve been your beta for years. Loyal. You know that!”R
"He put his hands in my pants", I went on just like he demanded but as soon as I said so, violently, Raymond was in motion. His claws came out and a fierce growl ripped from his chest as he picked up the dresser and hurled it across the room. The impact was thunderous, echoing loudly in the enclosed space. Wood splintered, broken apart with the force of his devastation. Clothing littered the wreckage of the dresser, now lying broken in pieces against the unforgiving wall.I stood there, shaking and silent. I didn’t dare speak about it. I waited for some calm to conquer the raging beast. His chest heaved. His nostrils flared as he panted. He turned back to me and snarled, “What happened next?”I tried unsuccessfully to control the tremor in my voice. “I… I begged him… to stop. I even threatened him that… that you would kill him for touching me.”Raymond’s eyebrows shot up.“I just assumed… that any Alpha would,” I explained, my voice barely above a whisper. “But he laughed… and told me
I didn’t stop running until my bare feet hit the familiar carpet of the upper floors. My lungs burned, legs shaking from the sprint and the fading suppressant, but pure adrenaline kept me moving. I slammed through the side stairwell door, taking the steps two at a time, Raymond’s torn shirt flapping around my thighs like a torn flag.The mansion was still quiet, dawn barely brightening the windows. I didn’t dare call out. I just ran straight for our wing, our room praying he was still there, praying this was all some sick nightmare Henry had spun.The bedroom door was ajar. I shoved it open, chest heaving, and stumbled inside.Raymond was already dressed.He was sitting in the wide leather armchair near the window, fully clothed in a crisp black button-down and dark slacks, boots on, like he’d been awake and waiting for a while. His powerful frame was rigid, elbows on his knees, hands clasped so tightly his knuckles were white. His jaw was locked, eyes dark and stormy as they snapped
After Alpha's words, I wanted to respond, but before I could the guards were already closing the door. The lock clicked into place.I was trapped.Alone. In the Alpha's room probably.A shiver ran down my spine, but I forced myself to stand tall, despite the weakness dragging me down. I wouldn't co
Raymond's POVReports were all around me, territories subdued, borders redrawn, spoils tallied and catalogued. Men bent their heads as they spoke, their voices respectful, fearful. To them, I sat as a conqueror: broad-shouldered, cloak spilling over the throne like shadow.Yet behind my eyes, I was
"Wait," I shouted before they could drag her out of the room.For a split second nothing moved. The guards slowed as if someone had pressed a hand against the world. Raymond's eyes bored into mine and the smirk on his face widened."You want to speak?" he asked, voice soft enough that it should hav
Time became a blur in the dungeon.I could not tell if it had been days or weeks since the guards last dragged me in here. The light of the torches came and went, food trays appeared and disappeared, but I touched nothing. My throat cracked with thirst, my lips split, and my stomach coiled in agony
