로그인CHAPTER TWO
CAROLINEThe club blurs into a haze of booze, bodies, heartbeats, laughter and bad decisions.
He seems like danger. I should turn away. I should not let him see me, but I’m so hurt, and my heart is so heavy. I just want to forget, even for a moment. I want peace. I want to forget what my best friend and boyfriend have done to me.
I’m done catering to them. I am done being the same woman, the coward, the idiot who would have forgiven their transgressions, the fool who would have continued the relationship. I want to be different, and that starts with him.
The club’s bass syncs with my pulse, and I smile at him.
I recognise him immediately. We bumped into each other twice today, and maybe this is fate, maybe this is destiny. I don’t try to hide my sadness or rage. My heart is racing, and my whole body is trembling.
I look at him with intent, and he looks at me with hunger, but he doesn’t make the first move. Men like him don’t beg women. Women fall to their knees for him. He’s a huge man, with broad shoulders, big hands, and a dangerous aura. I’m lithe, and he would break me. Somehow, I look forward to that.
However, he can’t help the allure. I know I’m beautiful. I watch as he studies me, probably noticing the difference in our sizes, or my flushed face and messy hair.
I wait for a second, then get up and walk towards him, holding his gaze. I need a good fucking tonight. I need to forget.
He watches me strut towards him, and he can’t hide his smile.
Well, well, well.
“Do you want to get out of here?” I go straight to the point.
He bites back my smile, “And, go where?”
I shrug, “Anywhere with a bed.”
“Hm,” he growls, chest rumbling, and the sound goes straight to my core.
“You should think about this very well. I might just break you.” He warns, running his gaze over my body.
Want pounds in my ears, loud and drowning.
“I don’t mind. Now, are we going to stay here all night, or are you going to fuck me?” I flash a grin, need floods my veins.
I watch as his gaze lingers on my face, and I look away, hoping he doesn’t see how much I’ve cried. I don’t need a therapy session. I just want sex.
Suddenly, he gets up and takes my hand in his. I inhale sharply, goosebumps breaking over my skin, and he smiles, pleased to see the effect he has on me.
He makes a call to one of the most luxurious hotels. From the watch on his wrist, the rings stacked on his fingers, and the way he speaks, he probably owns the hotel, and more. He drives me there, and I’m impatient. He walks to the door and opens it. I step in and quickly discard my robe.
He turns around and finds me in lingerie.
He growls hungrily and reaches for me.
“How do you want me?” He whispers against my neck, running his full lips over it.
“Hard, rough, relentless.” I exhale shakily, and he grins.
He leads me to the bed, then pulls out his cock. He settles against the bedframe and orders, “Choke on my cock, dove.”
My eyes widen, but I don’t run.
His cock is massive, throbbing and glistening. He’s gonna break me, and I’m gonna like it.
I crawl towards him and grab his cock with one hand, while fondling his balls with the other. My chest expands as I groan softly. Then, I take him in my mouth and slowly run my tongue over him, lathering him with spit, before proceeding to choke on it, just like I need.
He throws his head backwards and allows me to set the pace for now.
He groans, and I fondle his balls and suck his tip hard. I tease and edge him, but he doesn’t seem to have time for that because he threads his fingers through my hair, holds it tight, spreads his legs, and he fucks my mouth hard.
He is unforgiving, hard and rough like I wanted.
My eyes water, and I grind my cunt on the bed as he fucks my mouth, pushing in deep, touching the back of my throat.
I sink my fingers into his thick thigh and deepthroats him.
“Fuck, baby,” he groans, cumming hard, his knees bucking.
I suck every drop of cum from his dick and pull away with a Pop.
Hungrily, he reaches for me and tears my lingerie to shreds.
He lines his hard, huge cock with my soaked core and pushes in without preamble.
I’m wet enough to take him easily, but still I gasp, eyes wide, and I arch off the bed.
My fingers dig into his arm, hard enough to draw blood as he pushes all of his massive length in me.
His dick glides against my inner walls, and I clench hard around him. The feel of him, bare, in me, makes me want to cry from so much pleasure.
He pulls out and slams back in.
I scream and cum, just from that.
My whole body trembles, and I cry softly cumming hard. I’m so sensitive as he fucks me in earnest, pushing as deep as he can go.
I’m wanton, meeting his thrusts, trying to keep up.
He wraps his hand around my throat, presses down on my clit and slams into me hard.
I take everything he’s giving me. He’s the respite I need before returning to my life.
CHAPTER 58Just a baby.SALVATORECaroline finally falls asleep sometime before dawn. I sit beside the bed long after her breathing evens out, watching the rise and fall of her chest as if looking away might somehow change it. The room smells faintly of herbs, antiseptic, sweat, and fear. Most of it has soaked into the walls over the last twenty-four hours.Her face is pale against the pillow. The fever has broken, but I do not trust it. My gaze drifts to her stomach. The blanket covers most of her body, but I know exactly where our child rests. It is something impossible, something that should not exist, something people will kill for. My hand clenches against my thigh. The thought alone is enough to make my wolf bare its teeth.A soft knock breaks the silence. I look toward the door and see Slade standing there.“You can’t stay in here forever. She’s asleep. She will be fine. We need you out here. Belle won't stop arguing with Nadia, who keeps demanding more blood samples. Sage is
CHAPTER 57CAROLINEThe room expands and collapses around me in slow, violent pulses. The walls are too close, then too far, then too close again. I am awake for all of it, and it is the worst part. There is no escape into sleep, no soft break between moments where my body forgets how much it is suffering. I am being unravelled from within, as if I am being rewritten. It is one thing to try to heal someone with the virus, but it is another thing to suffer from it because I know exactly what is happening to me. I know what awaits me, how painful it is going to get.My life flashes before my eyes, and I think about how I got here. All these began a few months ago because I decided to come here for a vacation. Now, I’m not only carrying a baby, but infected with a mystical virus.Everything is too loud. I press my palms against my ears until my fingers hurt, but it doesn’t change anything. The sound is not outside me. It is inside my bones. It is inside my teeth. It vibrates behind my e
CHAPTER 56CAROLINEI wake up screaming. The sound tears itself out of my throat before I even understand where I am.For a moment, everything is pain. Hot and blinding pain.The room swims in and out of focus as another wave crashes through me. It starts somewhere deep beneath my ribs and spreads outward, through my stomach, my spine, my arms, until every nerve in my body feels stripped bare. It is not the sharp pain of an injury. Not the clean pain of a broken bone or a surgical incision. This is something alive. The virus moves in me, and attacks everything at once.It feels like my blood is on fire, because it is. Tears burn my vision, and I bite my tongue hard. I curl instinctively around my stomach and immediately regret it. My baby. My baby. Oh, my baby. Nothing must happen to my baby.A cry escapes me. My muscles seize so violently that I almost roll off the bed.“Caroline.” Salvatore is beside me instantly. I don't know if he ever left. His hand slides behind my shoulders, tr
CHAPTER 55Infected.CAROLINEThe first time it happens, I think I’m imagining it. The patient’s hand twitches against the restraints, fingers curling too tightly, and his nails scrape skin that should already be healing. The fever has pushed him into delirium, but that’s not unusual. What is unusual is the sound. A low, wet fracture under the skin.“Hold him steady,” I order, already moving closer.Nadia hesitates. “Doctor Blake, maybe you should –”“I said hold him.” My voice is calm. My moment of peace was with Sal, and now I am back to work. I need this whole thing to be over. I hate that I am missing so much of my pregnancy.The monitors spike, and his temperature climbs again, sharp and unnatural. Then his back arches violently against the bed. The restraints creak, and his skin ripples. Shit. I freeze for half a second. His spine is changing. What the fuck? A jagged distortion moves beneath his skin like something trying to remember a shape it was never meant to hold.His finge
CHAPTER 54SALVATOREI wake up in her arms, and the first thing I think is that I can really get used to this.Is it a losing battle now? Should I just stop fighting and enjoy what I have been given? Is she a gift or a curse?Most wolves are very religious, paying homage to the Moon Goddess, but I have lived long enough to watch empires, religion and faith crumble. I have not found anything supreme, but I must admit that the devotion humans pay to their Gods and technology is what I would like to show Caroline. I want to lay the earth at her feet because she deserves it.I sit up slowly, looking at her soft face and place my hand on her belly.She groans softly and pushes into my touch.My heart skips a beat when I realise her belly is a little swollen. She is finally looking pregnant. Her boobs are fuller, spilling out of my shirt. She wakes slowly and smiles at me. “Hi. Are you leaving?”“Hm.” I nod slowly, and she pulls me down, “Not yet.”The room smells like metal and old paper.
CHAPTER 53CAROLINEHe kisses me harder, sliding his hot tongue back into my mouth. I wrap my arms around him desperately, needing him closer. My desperation for him shows, and I do not care about that. I just want him. I want his hands all over my body. I want more. I have missed him so much.Easily, he carries me and places me on the kitchen counter.He pulls away and stares at me with a hooded gaze. “Do you want to take this to the bedroom?”A smile pulls at the corners of my mouth, “What other option is there?”“We can stay here and continue what we’ve started, but we’re not home alone, and I do not want to scandalise your friend.” He flashes me a dirty grin, and I feel it all the way to my toes.“Then, you should probably take me to the bedroom.” I shrug, as my belly tightens with need.“Will you be quiet? You have to be quiet.” He carries me as if I weigh nothing, and I wrap my legs around him.I inhale sharply when I feel his hard dick between my legs. I know I shouldn’t, but I
CHAPTER 39SALVATORE I lean back slowly in my chair, staring at Dominic across the council table while rage crawls steadily under my skin.Word has spread. Wolves survive on instinct, hierarchy, gossip and blood. The entire medical wing watched Car
CHAPTER 38 CAROLINE I cannot sleep. The city glows outside the apartment windows, alive even this late at night. Horns blare faintly somewhere below. Sirens echo in the distance. New York never really shuts up, and neither does my mind.
CHAPTER 36CAROLINEThe medical wing is nothing like I expected. I expected darkness and stone walls. Something dramatic and horrifying, considering werewolves apparently exist. Instead, it looks almost painfully normal with white walls, bright lights and the sharp scent of antiseptic.For one terr
CHAPTER 34SALVATORECaroline has been glaring at me for the last twenty minutes.I pretend not to notice, mostly because if I acknowledge it, we’ll start arguing again, and I’m already exhausted.She stands near the massive windows of my office apartment, arms folded tightly over her chest, lookin
