LOGIN~ ROSELLE ~I don't know what's wrong with me.I can't explain it, this burning intensity that's taken over my entire body, making me feel like I'm on fire from the inside out. All I know is that I need Ronan. I need him all over me. The ache between my thighs is unbearable now, a deep, throbbing pulse that feels like it's begging for something only he can give. It's wet and hot and empty, like my body knows he has exactly what it needs to soothe it.And the fact that I can't feel any more pain around my rib area… even though I was discharged earlier with broken ribs and deep bruises… it's obvious now. They've healed. Completely. The skin is smooth under my fingers, no tenderness, no lingering ache. Ronan just noticed it too, I can see the shock in his eyes as he runs his hands over my sides, checking again like he can't believe it.Why am I suddenly feeling this needy? This desperate?Does it have anything to do with that dream? That monstrous beast and the filthy, degrading things
~ RONAN ~Her lips crash against mine, and in that instant, everything else disappears.She kisses me softly at first, tentative, almost shy, but I can tell, that there's a burning hunger behind it that makes my blood heat instantly. Her hands slide around my neck, fingers weaving into my hair as she rises on her tiptoes to reach me better. By the Goddess… I love this side of her, I fucking love how she's getting bolder. The way she no longer shies away from initiating and making the first move, claiming me in public like this. It does something my chest swell with pride and raw want. Her kiss is pure fucking torture. She keeps nibbling on my bottom lip, each soft, lingering brush of her mouth making it harder to think. She pulls away just enough to make me chase her, only to steal another feather-light kiss that leaves me wanting more. My hands tighten on her waist, pulling her flush against me as I fight the urge to take control immediately. I let her lead for a few more seconds
~ RONAN ~Spending two days without her is hell, but through the pendant connecting us, all I can feel is how close she is. May the Moon Goddess bless the Seer for coming up with that. It's almost as if I can feel her heartbeat every second, and that's enough to keep me somewhat relieved.I'd already made my decision because it was getting frustrating listening to old men debate and argue all day. I had already started putting things in place and resolving issues, and by the next day, which happens to be today—I was going to leave.However, I was expecting to hold Nikolai accountable for his words when he claimed he had everything under control... until I felt her heartbeat racing and pain throbbing through her.Fucking hell. The moment I demanded answers from Nikolai, he replied almost immediately."Mara challenged Roselle to a spar, and she accepted."The world went red. She what?I immediately severed the connection because if I didn't, I was going to lose it. I was going to let Ka
~ ROSELLE ~Everything hurts. My body feels like it's been run over by a truck, broken ribs screaming with every shallow breath, deep bruises throbbing across my torso and arms, and fresh cuts stinging where Mara's nails had raked across my skin. Blood trickles from a split lip and a gash above my eyebrow, warm and sticky as it drips down my face. I'm on my knees in the dirt of the training ground, the world spinning slightly as the crowd's murmurs wash over me like distant thunder.I try to push myself up, but my arms shake violently and give out. A wave of dizziness hits me hard."Can you stand?" Ethan's voice is surprisingly gentle, almost concerned, as he crouches beside me.Before I can even nod, he scoops me off the ground like I weigh nothing, one arm under my knees and the other supporting my back. I'm too dazed and hurting to protest immediately. His body is warm against mine, solid in a way that feels both comforting and deeply wrong.Nikolai is there in an instant, fury etc
~ ROSELLE ~My entire body is drenched in sweat as I bolt upright in bed, my breathing ragged and my heart hammering so violently against my ribs that it feels like it might crack them open.It's only been one night without Ronan in the pack, and my fucking nightmares have already returned with a vengeance.What the hell is it with that beast?I've had nightmares before — plenty of them. They usually revolve around the fire, the screams, the memories I can never seem to escape no matter how far I run or how much time passes. Those are familiar. Those I know how to survive.But this? Monsters whispering filthy, degrading things to me? A massive, horned creature snarling about knotting me, breeding me, turning me into its personal cumdump? That's new, and that's never happened before.The nightmares about that beast didn't start until I stepped foot in this pack.I press a trembling hand to my chest, trying to steady my breathing as the images from the dream flash behind my eyes, the cr
~ ROSELLE ~Everywhere is suddenly dark. I find myself standing in that hallway again.Where the hell am I? Even swallowed by darkness, the walls feel eerily familiar. My fingertips trail over the cold stone as I search for a way out, my breathing growing more uneven with every step.There's a faint light glows at the very end of the hallway.My pulse spikes. I remember this. Without thinking, I break into a run, my footsteps pounding against the floor as I race toward it. The light never seems to get any closer. Instead, the hallway stretches endlessly before me, swallowing every step I take."No..." I whisper, shaking my head.I run harder. Faster. My lungs burn, my legs ache, yet somehow I end up right back where I started.I skid to a stop, my chest heaving as panic claws its way up my throat."What the...?" My heartbeat pounds so loudly it drowns out everything else."Can anyone hear me?" I scream.My voice ricochets through the hallway. Once. Twice. Three times. Then... Silence.
