Mag-log inHe roughly pulled me closer to him, the sudden contact made my nipples harden immediately.
I gasped even though I didn’t want to.
My body was moving on its own, my wolf was clawing at me to respond more to his touch, to his mouth that bit and licked every inch of my body.
His body wasn’t warm against me any more, it was hot.
His breathing was erratic and his hands moved with speed. It was as if he was going to devour me.
“Please don’t do this….” I tried to beg but he responded by ripping my clothes off my body effortlessly.
“Once I’m done with you,” he breathed out, “you’ll be begging for my cock.”
I could feel his erection growing impossibly hard with the need to fuck me. Oh my moons, how big he was.
I tried to ignore how it pressed against me and how it teased my entrance but I couldn’t.
It had been so long since Julian touched Me, talkeless of having me feel this way.
“I can feel your arousal growing, little vixen, I can smell it.” He trailed down to the space where my clit was and blew air on it.
“Ahhh….” I moaned.
It was painful how aroused I was, but it was more painful trying to resist him knowing fully well my body wanted this.
His tongue found the opening of my clit and dragged it up my slit in one long, slow lick that made my thighs tremble.
I tried to push him down but my hands were still tied and all I could do was whimper under his touch.
Those slow licks turned into fast motions as his tongue started forming rapid circles over my clit.
As if that wasn’t enough he brought his thumb to the mix and pressed hard against it.
My hips jerked, but he kept me pinned, controlling every movement.
I could feel the pleasure building in my lower belly.
When I looked down at him, he held my gaze and that felt like the dirtiest thing ever.
My thighs clamped against his hand trying to reduce the amount of stimulation I was getting but he didn’t like that.
“Open.” He ordered with his commanding voice and I obeyed immediately.
My legs parted on their own accord and I moaned loudly when he slapped the entrance of my heat.
He continued to torture me with his fingers. He continued to make me quiver and shake under his touch until I was nothing but a gasping mess.
He then came up to me finally.
“I’m not anywhere near done. You’re going to work for me tonight, you’re going to please me till I’m filled to the brim.”
Before I could even respond he flipped me around and completely took off every piece of clothing I had on.
“Wait…” I tried to plead but he didn’t pay me any mind.
He was too far gone in his rut to listen to my words.
It happened in the middle of our closeness, when there’s no room left for thoughts.
Only our breaths mingling together and the heat of his overwhelming presence.
At first I thought I was shaking from the fear or the arousal but then I realized I wasn’t shaking alone.
He was also shaking along with me.
This sensation felt electric, it felt intense, more than anything I’ve felt before.
The air between us changed as something in me snapped into place.
As he slid into me slowly and deeply something in me began to stir, something I had never felt before.
My wolf shifted, like she had been sleeping under deep water and someone had finally broken the surface.
The sensation is terrifying and exhilarating all at once, a sharp pull in my lower belly that made me gasp.
There you are. The voiced murmured clearly.
I didn’t register it at first because the only that filled my ears were the sound of skin on skin but I know what I heard.
My wolf.
She’s awakened.
I feel him more then, more than I did when he first took me.
I feel every touch, every contact of his skin like I had not felt it before.
Everything is more intense for me now.
I groaned and threw my head back when he increased his pace.
He rammed into me with the same amount of intensity I felt just a few months ago which made me realize he felt it too.
Our mate bond had just formed.
But it’s not like others, this is intense.
Whatever thing that had me holding back was gone.
I didn’t fight his control anymore, I didn’t fight his presence. I inhaled his pheromones and scent like I needed it to breathe and with how his grip on my waist tightened it was obvious he felt the same way too.
With every thrust I felt fuller.
I screamed even louder when he slammed into me, hitting that same spot repeatedly.
I was trembling and aching on the fifth round but I didn’t want to stop.
I wanted to keep going, my wolf wanted to ride this sensation on till it dried out.
I lost track of how many times I came undone under his touch.
Everytime I thought it would end he just kept going.
And as the night stretched out, I felt whole for the first time, like the moon goddess had finally decided to answer my prayers.
VESPERA'S POV The power exploded out of me in a column of golden light that shot straight into the sky.It was massive. Blinding. The kind of light that could be seen for miles in every direction. I poured everything into it—fear for my pack, love for the wolves who'd trusted me, rage at Julian for making this necessary.The light burned brighter.I didn't know how long I held it. Long enough that my legs started shaking. Long enough that sweat soaked through my clothes despite the cold. Long enough that the baby started kicking frantically, protesting the drain on my energy.Then Nyx said, *Enough. They've seen it. Stop before you hurt the pup.*I let the power fade and collapsed to my knees in the dirt, gasping."Vespera!" Petra was beside me immediately. "You okay?""I'm fine. Just—tired." I pressed both hands against my belly, feeling the baby's agitated movements. "Did it work?"If that didn't draw attention, nothing will." She helped me stand. "Come on. Let's get you back to ca
VESPERA'S POV I couldn't sleep.The night before the raid, I lay in my shelter staring at the canvas ceiling and feeling the baby move restlessly inside me. Every kick reminded me that Anya and Kael and thirty other wolves were about to risk their lives because Julian couldn't let go of something that was never his.Around midnight I gave up on sleep entirely and walked to the main fire. I found Pip there, sitting alone and poking at the embers with a stick."You should be asleep," I said."So should you." He didn't look up. "Anya's leaving before dawn.""I know.""She told me to stay here. She said I'm too young for this kind of raid." His voice was bitter in a way that sounded too old for ten. "I'm not too young, Vespera. You know that. I've been training. I can fight.""You can," I agreed, sitting down carefully on a log. "But she's right to keep you here. Someone needs to help protect the camp while she's gone.""That's what she said too." He jabbed the stick harder into the coal
VESPERA'S POV The morning I was supposed to leave for Eternal Winter, a man showed up at camp with information instead of goods. Julian's supply routes, meticulously documented. Movement patterns, guard rotations and even the location of every depot and warehouse between here and Iron Claw territory."Why are you giving us this?" I'd asked him.He'd looked at my pregnant belly, then at the camp full of broken wolves. "Because Julian killed my daughter for refusing to join his pack. He said she was too weak to be useful." He'd spit in the dirt. "I can't fight him myself. But you can."Now I stood over the makeshift table Kael had built, studying the maps by firelight. The supply routes were clear once you knew what to look for—organized, efficient, exactly what you'd expect from an Alpha who ran his pack like a military operation.And they all led to one place."Here," I said, pointing at a mark thirty miles south of our position. "This is his main depot.""Julian is heading here and
VESPERAs POV The next day, I spent the morning watching Pip try to teach a younger wolf how to properly hold a blade.He was terrible at it but the younger wolf was worse. They fumbled through the basic stance three times before Anya walked over, sighed deeply, and showed them both how it was supposed to look. Pip's face lit up with understanding and he immediately tried again, this time getting it almost right."Good," Anya said, which was highest praise coming from her. "Now do it a hundred more times."Pip groaned but started repeating the movement anyway. The younger wolf followed his lead.I sat on a rock near the training area and felt something settle in my chest watching them. This. This was what we'd built. Not just a collection of refugees hiding in the Deadlands. Something real. Something that mattered.Petra appeared beside me with water. "You've been sitting out here for two hours.""Yeah.""You're leaving tomorrow, aren't you?""Yes... First thing by day light. "Then s
VESPERAs pov"They're calling it the Whispering Sickness," Petra said while we were sorting through stolen medical supplies, her hands pausing over a bundle of herbs. I looked up from the inventory list I'd been trying to make sense of."What's the Whispering Sickness?""You haven't heard?" She set the herbs down. "It's spreading through the kingdoms. Mated pairs getting sick. Their bonds just—breaking. Snapping like cut rope."My stomach dropped. "What do you mean breaking?""Exactly that. Healthy wolves wake up one morning and their mate bond is gone. Just gone. And then they start dying." She picked up another bundle, not meeting my eyes. "Some go mad first. Attack their mates. Try to kill them. Others just drop dead, hearts stopping at the exact same time."I pressed my hand against my belly without thinking. The baby kicked hard, like it knew something was wrong."How many?" I asked."Dozens and maybe more. It's hard to get accurate numbers when everyone's panicking." She finally
VESPERA'S POV I was sitting outside my shelter trying to mend a torn blanket when Anya brought him over. The new wolf. He was young, maybe eighteen, with a limp that suggested an old injury that had healed wrong."I found him at the border," Anya said. "He says his pack kicked him out for being too slow on hunts."The boy's eyes were on the ground, his shoulders hunched like he was waiting to be hit."What's your name?" I asked."Silas.""You want to stay here, Silas?"He looked up then, surprised. "You'd let me? Just like that?""Just like that." I gestured at the camp around us. "We don't care why your pack threw you away. If you want to stay, you stay. If you want to help, even better. But nobody here is going to judge you for whatever got you exiled."His eyes filled with tears. He tried to blink them back but they came anyway."Thank you," he said, his voice breaking. "Thank you."Two days later, three more showed up. A woman with burn scars across her back. An older male wolf w
