LOGINHe pinned me against the wall. His voice, a low growl in my ear. “You’re trembling, little bird. Fear? Or something else?” His hand burns against my skin. “Your brother would kill me for this... but look me in the eye. Tell me you don’t want me. Tell me you weren’t wet the moment I touched you.” At twenty-one, Elara Stark thought she’d finally escaped the Vipers’ world of blood and leather. Six years later, after her father's murder and her fiancé's betrayal, she's back, only to be trapped under the watch of her brother's Enforcer, Knox. Knox has been secretly obsessed with Elara for years. The girl he once knew is gone, now stands a woman, broken and vulnerable in a way that awakens something dark and possessive in him. He is everything that goes against the moral core and peaceful life she craves, and she knows he's dangerous, but she simply can't resist the temptation. But there's a catch– a rule, no romantic relationship with a Viper or Vipers' families, failure to abide means instant death for the club member. When Elara's pain forces them into a forbidden kiss, the rule doesn't stop them. Will this crushing secret be the final thing to destroy them both? Read to find out what happens when you crave the one thing that will end you.
View MoreIt was April, the sun was yellow like a dandelion in bloom. Six-year-old Luna stayed with her family in a house near the forest for a few days. It was a great time for vacation and her family enjoyed being with nature all the time.
She reached for her doll and stepped out with great enthusiasm. As she examined the place, the beauty of the trees attracted her. The forest, even on a sunny day, is like a place of twilight shadows shape-shifting and elusive. She is loving the music created by the trees and the sweet rhymes from the birds chirping.
As the young Luna enjoyed the moment in the forest, she heard a painful howl. Being young and curious, she stepped deeper into the woods in search of the unfamiliar sound until she saw something. She was stunned to see a grey wolf in deep pain. The grey wolf was injured. His body was almost drenched in his blood.
Luna knelt in front of the grey wolf as she wore her worried look. "Don't worry Mr. Dog, I will help you," as she tried to reach for the leaves in the bushes thinking those leaves could help heal the wound. She gave her best to pick even the flowers until her hands were pricked by thorns. She almost cried as blood flowed from her hand. Her knees trembled in fear. She remembered the dying wolf and went back to place the leaves and flowers on the wolf's wounds. Her hands were shaking as her right hand was soaked in blood. The prick caused by the thorns was deep. The young girl was crying while helping the wolf. Without even noticing, her blood drops on the wolf's wounds. The wolf suddenly felt a different kind of sensation as his wounds started to heal. The wolf went back to his feet as he tried to stay away from the girl. The wolf's expression was unreadable as it began to run and disappeared into the woods.
Luna was terrified as she looked down at her hand. As she started to scream like a banshee, her parents arrived to calm her down. Her parents have been looking for her and are grateful to find her. Her father hugged her tight as her mom wiped the blood on her hand. Peter and Anne love their daughter so much. They can’t stand to see her hurting so much.
Her father whispered, "Your blood is precious Luna, try not to get hurt next time."
"I came to help the dying dog, it was big and grey," she sobbed.
Her mother touches her cheeks, "Luna, remember not to give your blood to anyone, even a single drop of it. Never let anyone taste your blood. Understood?"
"Yes mom," she answered.
"Luna, remember, just a single mistake, you could launch a thousand werewolves to fight in the war," her dad's voice was firm.
Luna being innocent raised her head as she stared at his father with confusion.
KNOX’S POVI woke up thinking about her.That had been happening more frequently than I knew what to do with.I closed my eye, and all I could think of was her, my Elera.My hand moved almost on its own, pressing down over the front of my pants. I was already half-hard just from the memory of her laugh.I shouldn’t do this. But the need was sudden and sharp. I slid my zipper down, and freed myself. My cock was heavy and aching in my palm.I wrapped my fingers around the length and gave one slow stroke.A low sound escaped me — half sigh, half groan.I pictured her closer. Closer than she had any right to be in my mind. Her hand instead of mine. Those dark eyes watching me while she touched me. The way her breath might catch if I pulled her against me.I stroked faster, thumb brushing over the head, spreading the bead of precum that had already formed. Another soft moan slipped out, quiet but raw. I bit my lip to keep it from getting louder, but the pleasure built quickly, fueled by
VICTORIA’S POVI called at ten.It rang twice and Knox picked up, which meant he wasn’t asleep and wasn’t busy, which meant he was choosing to answer quickly.“Hey,” he said.“Hey.” I kept my voice light. “How’s the evening?”“Quiet. You?”“Fine. I’m at home.” I paused. “Is everything okay there?”“Yes. Everything’s fine.”Short answers. Knox gave short answers when he was distracted by something he didn’t want to talk about yet. I had learned that in eight months of knowing him.“Has your guest settled in for the night?” I asked.A small pause. “I think so.”I left it there.We talked for a few more minutes about nothing important and then said goodnight and I put the phone down and sat with it in my lap.The next morning I called Maria.Maria was loyal to Knox first and always would be. But she was also honest in the way that certain straightforward women were honest, not cruel, not gossiping, just factual when asked a direct question.“How is everything in the house?” I asked.“F
KNOX’S POVI gave it an hour.Sat in my office pretending to work, listening to the house settle around me, telling myself I was fine and this was fine and there was absolutely no reason to go looking for anyone.Then I heard Priya come upstairs. I heard her door close. the house go quiet in the particular way it went quiet when everyone was in for the night.I waited another ten minutes.Then I went out into the hallway.Maria was coming up the stairs with a folded towel.“Is she back?” I asked. Keeping my voice casual.Maria looked at me. “Priya is back. Miss Elara chose to stay out a little longer.”I looked at her. “Alone?”“Dominic dropped them both off. Priya came inside. Miss Elara said she wanted some air.”“How long ago?”Maria considered this. “Maybe forty minutes.”Forty minutes. Alone outside at night.I was already moving toward the stairs before I finished the thought.“Mr. Reyes,” Maria called after me.I didn’t stop.I went to the front gate first and looked both ways
KNOX’S POVI stood in the hallway for a full minute after she went down the stairs.Just standing there with my jacket half on and my phone in my hand like an idiot.I heard the front door open. I heard Priya’s voice, bright and immediate. Heard a car start in the driveway. Heard everything get quiet again.She was gone.I finished putting my jacket on slowly and stood there trying to understand what was happening inside my chest. It was an odd feeling. Not painful exactly. More like something that didn’t have a name yet.I went back into my office and sat down at my desk.Picked up my phone. Put it down.Picked it up again.I opened the security app out of habit. The front gate camera. The driveway. I watched Dominic’s car pull out onto the street and disappear.I put the phone face down on the desk.This was ridiculous.Dominic was good. I knew that. I trusted him. He was one of maybe four people in my life I trusted without condition.He was careful and steady and honest and he w
ELARA’S POVLife in Knox’s house settled into a shape. I was more relaxed than I have been in months. I woke early. Earlier than anyone except Knox, who ran in the mornings before the household was up. I’d hear his footsteps on the stairs sometimes, quiet and quick, and lie in bed and stare at th
ELARA’S POVI woke to Sofia shaking my shoulder frantically.“Elara! Elara, wake up!”I opened my eyes slowly, confused. It was dark outside. Middle of the night.“What?” My voice was hoarse.“It’s Carmen,” Sofia said, her voice high with panic. “She’s sick. Really sick. She’s burning up and she wo
ELARA’S POVI stared at her.Then I pressed my palm against my face.“Can you,” I said, from behind my hand, “please excuse me for one second.”I kept my hand over my face.One second. I just needed one second.“I’m sorry?” Victoria said.I lowered my hand.“Who,” I said, trying very hard to remain
Third Person POV She picked it up. It was soft. Worn soft, meaning he always used it all the time.She couldn’t help but press it to her chest.She pressed both hands.
