MasukArielleBy the time I got to the pack grounds my legs were already burning but I didn’t stop. I don’t even remember how I crossed the gates. I just remember the smell first. There was soemthing sharp and wrong in the air. Wolves were everywhere running around shouting orders and shifting halfway like they didn’t know what to do with themselves. Nobody tried to stop me when they saw my face. I think they already knew. I think they felt it too.Then I saw Kael .He was on the ground at the center of the training yard. His body looked too still and quiet. His skin had lost that warm glow he always carried. It was pale like he had been drained. His shirt was soaked with sweat and his hair was plastered to his forehead like he had been burning for hours. Thomas was kneeling beside him pressing two fingers to his neck with a look I had never seen on his face before. It was real fear there. I dropped to my knees so fast it hurt.“Kael!” I said and my voice came out small. “Baby please wak
ArielleI was sitting in class and honestly I wasn’t even paying attention anymore because the lecture was dragging and everything felt slow. I kept rubbing my stomach because the baby had been moving a lot since morning and Kael kept sending little warm feelings through the bond like he always did. It felt normal and safe. Like he was somewhere close even if he wasn’t beside me. I didn’t know anything was wrong. I didn’t feel anything strange. Nothing warned me. Everything was calm one second and then the next second it hit me so hard I almost blacked out.It felt like someone slammed into my chest from the inside. My breath stopped and my vision dropped for a moment. I held the edge of the desk because my hands were shaking all of a sudden. It wasn’t mine. It wasn’t my pain! It was Kael’s! I could feel it like it was ripping through the bond. A violent heat like he was burning from the inside. A panic so sharp it made my heart miss a beat. His mind was a mess breaking. His consc
ArielleI don’t know why I even noticed her at first. Diane always moved like a ghost when she wanted to and half the time I didn’t bother asking where she went because I trusted her. Blindly. Stupidly maybe. But that evening something inside me pulled my attention to the corridor behind the storage room. It was quiet and dim and smelled a little like dust and old wood but I saw her. I saw Diane standing close to someone I couldn’t recognise. The person was wearing a dark cloak with the hood pulled low like they were hiding their face on purpose. She leaned in and he leaned in too and the way they whispered felt too secret. I froze where I stood like my feet refused to move because my mind was trying to make sense of what I was seeing. Diane? Whispering with someone like that? Someone she would never let me near? It didn’t sit well inside me. I stepped forward before I even knew what I was doing and the cloaked person turned their head slightly like they sensed me. Diane flinched
Arielle Before I can form a coherent to his soft words of (I love you) he shifts, his movements fluid and sure. He stands scooping me effortlessly into his arms as if I weigh nothing.“Hold on” he murmurs against my hair.I cling to his neck, my face buried in his warm skin as he carries me through the darkened room and into the adjoining bathroom. He sets me gently on my feet on the cool tiled floor. The only light comes from the moon streaming through the window casting a silver glow over his powerful form and the evidence of our sex that still coats the inside of my thighs.He turns on the water in the large glass-walled shower, the sound a steady soothing hiss that fills the small space. While it warms, he takes a washcloth and runs it under the tap and gently, cleans the evidence of his release from between my legs. The intimacy of the act is staggering more so than the frantic sex we just had. He’s not just taking but he’s giving amd caring. It’s a tenderness that feels more
Arielle Kael’s control snaps at my whispered plea. The last thread of his restraint tears apart and the raw need in his eyes is all I see before he moves.“Please what red flame?” He growls his voice a low vibration against my lips. “Tell me what you need.”“You!” I gasp my back arching as he presses the thick head of his cock against my entrance again teasing and torturing. “I need you inside me. Now.”With a guttural groan, he pushes forward breaching my entrance slowly. The stretch is intense, a burning fullness that steals my breath. He stops letting me adjust, his body trembling with the effort of holding back. My nails dig deeper into his shoulders, a mix of pain and pleasure that has me seeing stars.“Breathe Arielle,” he commands softly his forehead resting against mine. “Just breathe.”I try, I really do but my body is too far gone. The ache is a demanding pulse an empty void that only he can fill. I rock my hips against him, a silent and desperate invitation. It’s all the e
KaelAll I know is that she is too close and my body is already betraying me. Her scent fills my lungs and it is warm and familiar and dangerous. The kind of dangerous that makes a man forget promises he swore to keep. My hands curl into fists at my sides because if I touch her wrong I know I will lose everything I have left of my control.She looks up at me with those eyes that have ruined me from the start. So hazel and soft and beautiful. Too brave for her own good. Carrying my child and still daring to pull me closer like she owns me.She does!I swallow hard and my voice comes out rough. “You should not look at me like that.”She tilts her head. “Like what?”“Because I am barely holding myself together.”I slide my hands to her waist and pull her against me before I can stop myself. Her body fits like it was made to. Like this is where she has always belonged. Her breath spills against my neck and the bond lights up again. Her pussy brushes against mine and I groan because it is
