I didn’t expect the pack to be so… strange.
The house they took me to looked more like a fortress—solid stone walls with massive doors, warm lights, and the faintest scent of smoke and pine in the air. “Alisha, take her to her room,” Kael instructed one young woman the moment we got into the mansion. Without a word and just a bow of her head to the man who instructed her, the woman gestured at me to follow her. I did as she instructed and walked behind her as we passed the darkened hallway, the numerous locked doors, the multiple men and women loitering around the house, and finally the library. I was about to ask her where exactly we were going when she stopped at another batch of rooms. Pointing to one of them, she spoke. “This is your room, Miss.” She shrugged, then turned to me. “If you need anything, you can ask any of us that you see around. Or any of the Alphas.” She added. Pointing to the rooms one after the other, she named which one belonged to each of the men that forced me here. Without waiting for a word or response from me, she turned and walked away. With my heart stamping hard in my chest, I moved closer to the room and turned the door knob. With a little bit of hesitation, I stepped inside. The room was beautiful, but something about it unsettled me. It sat between all their rooms, like I was the center of some strange, invisible circle I hadn’t agreed to be a part of. I kept the door locked behind me, even though I knew if any of them really wanted to get in, a lock wouldn’t stop them. I changed into the silk slip someone had laid out for me. It was black, thin, and clung to my skin like mist. No bra. No panties. Just silk and skin. I sat on the bed, trying to breathe and calm the fire in my chest. Everything had happened so fast. One moment, I was in my foster mother’s house. The next, I was dragged into the woods by five dangerously beautiful men who claimed I was their mate. Five. I still couldn’t believe it. What kind of sick joke was the universe playing on me? I rolled to my side and pressed my thighs together. My body was too hot. I could still feel the ghost of Rian’s lips on mine, the way he had molded my breast in his palm, his tongue claiming my mouth like it belonged to him. It had awakened something I didn’t know existed. God help me, I had liked it. I closed my eyes and tried to think of anything but them. I failed. It was hard to take my mind off the reason why I was suddenly lying on a strange bed in the early hours of the morning of my birthday. Prior to this, I never even knew that werewolves exist - other than in fantasy and fairytales, but now, I was suddenly supposed to be mated to all five of them. Now that I followed them here, I was sure that they would have let their guards down, thinking that I was ready to compile with them. So if I was choosing to run away now, who would know? I could just easily disguise myself as one of those people roaming the house. That’s what I would do, I told myself, already standing up to put that plan into motion. The sound hit me before I could even register what it was. A low, rhythmic grunt. A strained breath. A name. My name. “Aria…” I froze, my ears perking. “…fuck… Aria…” It was coming from the room next to mine. That would be the room the lady that brought me here has pointed to as Rian’s room. Rian. I also knew his voice now—cocky, unapologetically sinful. What was he doing? Why was he moaning my name so loud? “Yes, Aria… yes!” He moaned again. There was only one answer to that question. The man was mastubating with my name and face. Even though that should have annoyed me, it didn’t. Instead, it made me wet, hearing him moan my name. I imagined him wanking himself, throbbing the flesh of his cock up and down. Moaning. Yanking faster and faster as he drew closer to finding the satisfaction he craved for. I pressed my knees tighter together, but it was no use. My core throbbed with heat, liquid pooling between my thighs. I shouldn’t be aroused by this. I should be horrified. Angry. But I was drenched. I slid my hand beneath the silk, grazing my skin. My fingers found the wetness instantly, and I let out a soft gasp. I rubbed slow circles around my clit, matching the tempo of his grunts through the wall. Every sound he made fueled my fire. “Fuck… I want you to beg, Aria… beg for my cock…” A desperate moan escaped me as my hips lifted into my hand. I imagined him on the other side of the wall, hand wrapped around his thick length, eyes wild, muscles tensed. Stroking himself to the thought of me. My name spilling from his lips as he lost control. “Oh god…” My fingers moved faster, dipping down to slide inside me, then back up to my clit. My body arched, back bowing, teeth sinking into my lip to hold back a scream. It was like he was inside me without even touching me. And just as my orgasm began to crest, the world tilted. “Fuck!!!” The man grunted out, obviously finding the release for himself. My eyes flew open—and I saw him. Evren. He was standing in the shadows near the corner of my room, so still I almost screamed. His pale eyes weren’t pale anymore. They glowed a rich, haunting violet, locked onto me. Onto my slick fingers. Onto the wetness between my thighs. My orgasm hit me like a hurricane. I cried out as my body convulsed. Pleasure tore through me in waves, unstoppable and wicked. I couldn’t look away from him. And he didn’t blink once. That was when I recollected myself. I sat up instinctively, pulling the blanket over my breasts, my cheeks burning with shame. I’d just pleasured myself to the sound of Rian moaning my name across the wall. My fingers were still wet with my own desire, my breath still shallow. Evren stalked in slowly, like a panther on the hunt. Not rushed, not hurried. Deadly. His gaze pinned me, devoured me, traced the curves of my body like he already owned them. “Did you enjoy pleasuring yourself to the moans of my brother?” He asked, the hunger still evident in his eyes. “I—Evren—” I stammered, backing further into the bed. He didn’t stop walking until he was towering over me. “Don’t hide from me, Aria.” He murmured, and without warning, slapped my hands away from my chest. The blanket fell in a heap at my waist. I gasped, but he leaned forward and captured my lips before I could utter a sound. His mouth was hot, firm, commanding. A sharp contrast to the cool air that had just licked across my bare skin. I whimpered, lost in the warmth of him, in the sensation of his tongue exploring mine like it was hunting for my soul. He kissed me until I was pliant, until my hands clutched at his shirt desperately, pulling him closer, wanting more, needing more. And then he pulled back. Just like that. He stared down at me, eyes hooded, chest heaving slightly as if it took effort to resist what we both knew we wanted. His arousal was undeniable—thick, hard, straining against his pants. I reached for him. He caught my wrist. “Not yet,” he said, his voice gravel over silk. “The time to ravish you is coming, but it’s not now.” “What?” I asked, breathless and needy. He leaned close again, brushing his lips against my ear. “When I take you, Aria, it won’t be because I walked in on you wet and begging. It’ll be because your body demands me—because you ache for me so deeply, nothing else in this world will do.” My legs were still open. My body still pulsing. I wanted to scream at him to finish what he started, to not leave me like this. He gave me a final lingering glance that felt as if it was almost killing him to leave. But he turned, heading for the door. “Evren, wait!” He looked over his shoulder, smirking like the devil himself. “Sleep tight, Aria. You’ll need your strength.” And then he was gone. I sat there, trembling and wet and aching, unsure if I wanted to scream or beg.17ARIAI stared at the men who had come in horror. What was happening? Why did they look like they had been in a fight?"What happened?" Evren asked.I noticed him for the first time, standing opposite the crowd with the rest of the brothers. Their faces were pensive and I couldn't tell what they were thinking.One of the warriors looked at him. "We were attacked at the border. I heard you were right in this clinic, that's the reason we showed up here.""Who attacked you?" Darius queried.The warrior looked at his teammates, who were now lounging at surfaces, and they looked like they were about to fall on their faces at any moment."We think they were rogues," He finally said.My heart spiked as I held onto the bedding. If they were here then that meant that we weren't safe. They were going to kill me. I wouldn't be able to see my mother anymore thanks to all of these.Bile rose up my throat at once, causing me to gag. Rian quickly moved over to me, rubbing my back. I tried to shove
ARIAEvren's fingers circled my breast as I threw my head back in pleasure. "Look at me," He muttered.I sighed as I touched Kael , throwing my head back to look at Evren at the same time. He lifted his hands from my breast to my face, his lips touching mind slightly. My eyes were half closed as I tried to feel what was going on. The sensations were just too much and I wasn't so sure that I would be able to remain sane.Evren tapped my chin twice before his tongue slid into mine and he kissed me with a shameless abandon. I groaned as I removed my hands from Kael , trying to touch him, but he grabbed a hold of my wrist, pulling them behind my back firmly.The intense slap of sex was all that I could hear. Kael was panting or me or Evren. I wasn't so sure anymore. All I understood that what was going on was about driving me mad."Mine," Kael panted.I moaned against Evren's lips, not able to move my lips over his as I wanted. I was so weak with the sensations I was experiencing down

ARIAAlpha Darius looked back at me and I swallowed lightly. He shoved me back harshly before walking towards the door. I staggered on my own feet, struggling to push my gown down to hide the stolen touches."Stay quiet," Alpha Darius mumbled.Without waiting for my response, he went over to the door, and pulled it open. Two men in black bowed at him and he stepped back into the office. I walked away from the desk, pressing a hand on my head as I hoped that I didn't look as disorganized as I felt.The moment I looked into their eyes, I noticed that one was Beta Ian and the other - I couldn't recognize."I'm sorry to disturb you, Alpha, but Warrior Dante couldn't wait. He is in a hurry to talk about the issue surrounding the border," Beta Ian pointed out.I watched as Alpha Darius smiled, his fingers tapping his shirt easily. It was the same hand that he had used to touch me. To feel...Alpha Darius turned to me. His eyes moving to my chest, and I felt naked in his eyes. "You may leav
A Temporary Farewell GiftAriaFlames danced, winding through the forest like vines circling me. The shadows grew closer, winding against every inch off my skin. Trails, touches, each one seeping like heat.All five eyes stared, watching. They held me captive in their grasp. Voices threaded through my consciousness, echoing in a cacophony.“Aria…”“Mine…”“Good…”“Take…”The voices circled like physical bonds, caressing every inch of my skin. Heat bloomed through me at the sensations.Yet suddenly, the voices stopped. When I opened my eyes, the gazes were fading. Each eye, each voice disappeared one by one, slipping into the shadows as the fire burned brighter. Leaving only one.I gasped as I jolted awake, clutching the sheets tightly. The cool air hit my skin, sending prickles through my spine.I blinked, looking up blearily at the sun gleaming through the windows. It was morning. Another new day.Another day of being held captive in this pack.I tried to fill my time by spending t
ARIA I groaned as I shifted around on my bed. I felt a dull ache between my legs, and I clamped my legs shut, struggling to get back to sleep, despite everything.But, I just couldn't...With a groan, I sat up. Everywhere looked blurry. Was I feeling sick, or could it be that I had things much worse now? I had no idea what it could be. With a groan, I kneaded the back of my head, hoping that the worse of the pain would leave.It did not.The ache intensified. Shifting lightly on the bed, I took a shaky breath as my fingers slid into my thighs. I felt something fluid around my fingers and pulling it up, I noticed it was reddish in colour.... Blood.Oh, my God!The door opened right at that moment, and a maid stepped in with a plate full of food, looking at my fingers and my face. Then, she averted her gaze quickly, sighing as she dropped the food on the nearby table."You should come with me, ma'am," she said at once.I lowered my hand down, as my cheeks heated in shame. "What are you
