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 I woke to the sound of screaming.I was on my feet before I was could fully be conscious, my heart hammering wildly against my chest, the shelter's canvas walls doing nothing to muffle the sounds pouring in from outside. Steel on steel. Wolves snarling. The particular crack of wood giving way under something heavy."Stay inside, Vespera. You can't cone out here," Kael's voice growled from outside the door, tight and controlled. My eyes widened as I hirriedly move towards the door. "Wh— What's happening—""Soldiers! They're Julian's men," he started to say then paused where I heard him shift position. I heard the sound of his blade clearing its sheath. "You need to stay hidden, Vespera, and that's not a suggestion."And before I could protest, he was gone, leaving me confused.I pressed my eye to the gap in the canvas, hoing to see some clue on what was going on.I saw them. They came like a flood. Dozens of soldiers pouring into the camp from three directions at once
You're going to scare them."Kael's voice came from behind me, low and dry. I was crouched behind my shelter in the gray pre-dawn, hands braced against cracked earth, vomiting for the third morning in a row."Go away," I managed between heaves."You've said that every morning. I'm still here."When there was nothing left in my stomach, I sat back on my heels and pressed the back of my hand against my mouth. The Deadlands looked exactly as terrible at dawn as they did at any other hour. No sunrise worth watching. Just gray becoming slightly lighter gray."How long have you known?" I asked."Since the second morning." He crouched beside me, holding out a piece of dried cloth to wipe my mouth. "You're very obvious.""I thought I was being quiet.""You were. Didn't help." He watched me with those careful eyes that never seemed to miss anything. "How long have you known?""Weeks." I wiped my mouth, handed the cloth back. "Since before Eternal Winter."He was quiet for a moment. Around us,
VESPERAS POV I was exhausted. Bleeding from a dozen cuts that hadn't healed right. My shoulder still burned where the arrow had grazed it. The baby inside me was growing too fast, taking energy I didn't have, making my body do impossible things just to keep us both alive.But I shifted.The transformation came easier now than it had in the wildlands. My body knew the shape of my wolf, knew how to fall into that other form without fighting every step. Bones rearranged. Fur sprouted. The world shifted into sharper focus, scents blooming around me in vivid detail.I stood there in my wolf form, smaller than most of them but glowing faintly—a golden shimmer around my edges like dawn breaking.The watching wolves murmured. Uncertain. Something in that glow making them uneasy.The scarred woman shifted too.Her wolf was massive. Battle-scarred. Missing that eye in wolf form too, the socket just as ruined. She circled me once, twice, her single eye tracking every movement.Then she attacked
VESPERAS POV Everything in my stomach came up in violent heaves that felt like my body was trying to turn itself inside out. When there was nothing left I kept retching, dry heaves that made my ribs scream and my throat burn.I killed someone.Not in defense. Not in an accident. I'd wrapped a chain around a man's neck and pulled until I felt his windpipe collapse under the pressure. Felt the exact moment life left his body and became just meat and bone and stopped resistance.*He would have killed you,* Nyx said, gentler now. *He would have killed the pup. You did what you had to do.*That was true.It was also true that some part of me—the part that had pulled that chain tight, that had held on when he was thrashing, that had felt satisfaction when his body went still—had wanted it. Had needed to prove I could do it.The ease of it terrified me more than the act itself.I was still on my knees in the weeds outside when Kael found me.He crouched down beside me without speaking. Pull
VESPERAS POV The arrow hit my shoulder—not deep, just a graze, but the pain was immediate and blinding. Fire spreading from the point of impact, my arm going numb below the wound.I gasped but didn't stop."Almost there," Kael said through gritted teeth. "The wall—"It loomed ahead. Massive stone, forty feet high, topped with parapets and guards and the kind of security that said nothing was meant to get in or out.Kael shoved me against the base of it, locking his hands around my foot. "Climb. Now!"I reached up, finding handholds in the rough stone. My injured shoulder screamed protest but I pulled anyway, using wolf strength I barely understood, hauling myself up inch by inch while Kael boosted from below.More arrows. One embedded itself in the stone next to my hand. Another grazed Kael's arm—I heard his sharp intake of breath, and then I felt him falter."Keep going," he snarled.I wheezed painfully and reached the top.Below, the palace courtyard swarmed with guards. Above, the
VESPERAS POV *We're running out of time,* Nyx said, in the middle of theat night when I couldn't even try to force myself to sleep even for one minute."I know."I lay in the dark, staring at the ceiling, running through scenarios that all ended badly. Julian would announce the pregnancy to the Council. He would parade me before the assembled Alphas as proof of Iron Claw's strength, his Luna carrying his heir. Would use the baby as leverage, as currency, as another chain to bind me to him.And when the child was born—when it became obvious that the baby carried none of his features, none of his scent, none of his bloodline—I shut the thought down before it could complete itself.The baby kicked. I pressed my hand against the movement, feeling the strength of it.*If we stay here any longer, you might not to be able to get Malachi out— Alive*I breathed out heavily, the repercussions pressing hard on my chest.Outside, snow fell in heavy sheets. The palace was quiet in the way of pre
