Bianca walked to the bedroom and picked up the Alpha's black shirt, which had been carelessly thrown on the floor the night before. She removed the towel wrapped around herself and put the shirt on. Then she took off the towel she was wearing on her head to let her hair dry in the open air. Black had watched her silently in the doorway that separated the bathroom from the bedroom. Seeing his Mate wearing his shirt and moving, right there, under his gaze, brought him a fullness he had never felt in the past. Bianca opened the bedroom door but was stopped by the Alpha. He placed his hands on his soul mate's hips and deeply breathed into her neck. "Where are you going, Love?" "To get our spare clothes left downstairs, Magnus," she replied with a soft smile. The Alpha, however, suddenly had a closed expression. He pulled her against him and rubbed the bridge of his nose against her neck. "Magnus?" he repeated. "Oui. It is your first name. Isn't it? "asked Bianca while
The two high priestesses entered the small cottage with unusually hesitant steps. Dhara continued to mutter more and more protective spells through her teeth. With each additional step she took, the witch realized that she was nearing the end of the list of magical barriers she knew. On the other hand, Darya had to hang on to her sister's arm. She was immensely grateful to Dhara. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the runes etched on her sister's skin glowing and taking on new places as she cast protective spells around them. The two witches took their seats on one of the two large sofas facing each other on the first floor, while Bianca stood in front of the additional sofa. "Can I get you something to drink?" she asked the two women with whom she had become friends. "Nothing, for now, thank you, B.," replied Dhara. "Anyway, we won't be long, and I don't think we're in a position to linger much longer." Bianca looked surprised and t
Bianca had rested the back of her head against the sofa, and she had kept one hand resting on Black's thigh while the other rested on the seat. She mumbled aloud as she stared at the ceiling. "Bonjour. My name is Bianca. But, my friends call me B. No, that's not short for Bianca. It's the first letter from Bitch." Black leaned forward and grabbed the leather pouch with his fingertips. His nostrils twitched as he smelled the pungent odor that emanated from it. _Get that thing out of here," complained Mr. Wolf. The animal was lying on the ground. And he had put a paw on its nose to avoid smelling the scent. Black slowly looked up at the two women sitting before him. The two high priestesses recoiled slightly. Dhara cleared her throat, declaring, "We'll be leaving now." "Ah?" replied Bianca. "Already?" Darya had to quickly put a hand over her lips to hide the trembling. "Yes. Don't forget, one hour of brewing, Bianca." The pla
"You really need to be careful with your words, Love.", Black whispered against Bianca's lips. "Oh? Did I say something wrong?" she asked, surprised. "French pussy," he simply replied. Bianca frowned, not understanding what was wrong with that. She cocked her head to the side and searched for ways in which the term pussy was incorrect. "I... don't understand... isn't pussy the word for a female cat in English?" she muttered, looking from left to right. Mister Wolf rolled onto his back. He could not stop laughing after Bianca's question, and especially her candid look. Their mate looked totally clueless. _ Mate is adorable. Mate can keep saying pussy! Black nodded, and an amused smile played on his lips. "Let's say pussy is a little too crude. It can mean vagina in English... which isn't completely wrong in this case. But, I don't think that's what you mean. And, there are many other terms, Love." Bianca raised her hand to her lips and ne
Bianca began to stand on her tiptoes to place a kiss on Black's lips when he lifted her to sit on one of the kitchen counters again. The Alpha came to stand between the legs of his soul mate and kissed her tenderly. _Ah-Whoooo! Let's take our time! We didn't get to enjoy Mate to the fullest last night," yelped Mr. Wolf, wagging his tail happily. Bianca had to quickly put her hands behind her on the icy countertop to keep her balance. Then she laughed as Black kissed her neck, moving down to her chest. She had decided to let him lead since he had not ceased to say "slowly" last night during their preliminaries. The young woman was satisfied while kissing the mass of her lover's black hair, while he paid homage to his body. Black came to lean against her, showing her the effect she provoked on him. Then, with a calculated delicacy, he laid Bianca down on the counter's marble. Finally, he had instinctively placed his hands under the thighs of his Luna to be
Beta Duncan was the one who knocked on the door. He worried about not having his Alpha and Luna in the pack house this morning. Alpha Black was notorious for never showing up or responding to invitations. However, Duncan suspected that the Mad One would want to appear at breakfast for one simple reason: to show off his Luna at his side. * * * Bianca had had to put back the denim pants she'd worn earlier. She had then passed a simple white t-shirt which she had supplemented by a long black cardigan that arrived to her knees. _ Mate looked so much better in our shirt," Mr. Wolf grumbled. Bianca had pulled her hair up into a french bun with the pins from the night before. However, she felt her hair fall to the small of her back as she reached for her shoes. She turned quickly. She raised both hands to hold her hair back and glanced at the floor to look for the pins that had escaped. Bianca
Black had felt Bianca move to almost hiding behind him. They had finally entered the enormous dining room of the Moon Crescent pack. Bianca seemed to tense up as she discovered how many people were there. Black had heard her mutter, "Why are there so many people? We're late...there should be fewer people." Bianca grabbed the bottom of Black's long-sleeved shirt with her fingertips, seeking reassurance, as she was unintentionally arousing the curiosity of those around. Besides, she was the reason why all these people were still here. Some had bet that the Mad One would not come to the common dining room, that he would stay true to his reputation of never mixing with others at festive events. Others bet he would come for his Luna, who would undoubtedly want to get to know the other wolves. No one suspected that Bianca would have preferred to stay in the little cottage and that she had come out only to please him. The other people looked at each
Bianca had just taken the last bite of her plate. She was relieved to have finally finished eating and hoped to be able to leave the place soon. Since she had taken the last sip of her cup of coffee, her thoughts had been on Rosy. It was Sunday, and she had hoped to spend the day with her. However, she suspected that this might be a problem for Magnus, and she hadn't had time to talk to him about it yet. She also didn't know what reaction she would get when telling him she wanted Rosy back. In front of them, the Alphas were talking in a deceptively civilized and courteous manner. Some of them had sought validation of their words from Black, but he had merely nodded in response. The implied threats and the clenching of jaws had not escaped the young woman. What seized her the most was how all the people present behaved towards Magnus. They all seemed to admire and fear him at the same time. Scarlett had tried to talk with
