INICIAR SESIÓNKAELMy entire life force cripples to a stop at the same time that my mate does. My heart is thrashing around in my chest at the sight of her weak form, her skin a very scary shade of pale under the unwavering moonlight.It takes all of the patience that I don't have to watch and wait as she battles against the vampire in front of her.I felt it the moment she took over, the moment she slipped past her own walls and dominated his mind, but nothing could've prepared me for the swell of pride in my chest as his head explodes, brain matter, blood, and bone bits slapping the already grimy walls and concrete floor.She slumps, but before her body touches the ground, I'm there. My arms sweep around her, wrapping delicately around her frame like I'm scared she'd break.Maybe I am. Maybe the wildness in my chest is courtesy of my own fear. A fear that is neither familiar nor faint, the thought in my head tears a violent growl from my throat.What if she dies?She'd better not. I'd uproot the

ELIRABlack dots danced along the edges of my vision as the sounds around me became distant, a faint echo humming from the background.My breathing was labored, sweat dancing down my spine. I held onto the pole in front of me, shimmying my waist slowly even as I battled to get the fever under control.The timing couldn’t be any shittier. With the presence of the full moon came an overflow of eager male wolves, all of them stacked with cash and the desire to own one of the scantily-clad bodies working the stage tonight. One of those bodies was mine.“That’s right, Zoey,” one client in particular bellowed from his place in the crowd. “Work that body for me like a little slut.”He was a short man, his belly rounded with excessive alcohol and zero workout, and he was mostly bald, save for the sparse curls around his mouth. To put it simply, he wasn’t a pleasant man to look at, and from the look in his eyes, the knowledge of that wouldn’t stop him from paying his way between our legs.A sh

KAELThere's a rush of fire beneath my skin, searing a heated path through my blood and leaving me on the verge of combustion.I drag in a deep breath, the scent of her arousal so potent it erodes whatever calm I was aiming for.Turning away from her sharply, my shoes click against the stone floor as I amble out of the cramped space. Maybe fresh air, and dealing with whatever that sound was will make me feel a bit more grounded."You're just going to walk away?" Her sugary tone drips with poison.I'm tempted to respond. Hell, every single part of me craves to pick things up from where we left off, but I know that's going to be an impossibility."Of course!" She bites out. "Ignore me. It's a lot better than admitting that you're a coward, is it not?""You're not getting a rise out of me, Elira." My tone is cold as the words find their way out into the tension-laden space. "Get a grip on your emotions. It's not my place to tend to them."She barks out a laugh that's both hollow and shar
KAELNeil's words stay with me the whole drive home, and a thought sings in the back of my head as I continue to stew over it.Could he be right? Was this my one chance to actually redeem myself from the shackles that have bound me for a whole lifetime?I shake my head, a mirthless laugh falling past my lips as I remember just what curse I carry. "If you're so certain that she can't help, why did you run all the way to your company tonight?" Rico's agitated voice carries over my thoughts, inputting itself firmly in the center of my mind."Not the time, Rico," I snap. I don't want to admit that he's right. I'm not so sure that he's entirely right, anyway. Her smell still lingers on my skin, eating deep into the flesh underneath and soaking itself into the very essence of my being.I want her. I've wanted her for a long time, and I still have no idea how I've managed to stop myself from taking what I want.Maybe it's the fact that I don't want to take her body when I have no certaint
ELIRA"Look who it is. Our freshly deflowered patron."The familiar voice causes me to spin around, my hair falling around my face. I smile at him, even as I hope he doesn't note the redness of my cheeks. "Hi, Fangs," I greet back.The huge man flashes me a grin, a dimple popping on his cheek in t
ELIRA“You have got to be fucking kidding me!”Brie turns to me with a quirked brow as I exclaim, freezing in place. “What’s wrong?”“We need to leave.” I start to pull her arm, urging her to move.“What? Our reward. We won the bet.”I want to listen, I do. But something about this feels like too m
ELIRAThis is the wildest thing I have ever done in my life.My jaw is nearly hitting the floor as I scan the incredibly packed expanse of this room. If I ever need an imagery for sin, this is definitely it.“What do you think?” There’s a smile in Brie’s voice as she asks, standing beside me on the
ELIRAI'm moving before I can stop myself. My hands fist in her hair and I pull her off the floor, fueled by an adrenaline that I can't explain—nor care to."How dare you?" I scream, my voice catching on a sob. "You've been..."The words fail me, and so do my legs. I fall to the floor as she shoves
