GLORIA'S POV âWhat do you mean sheâs not a wolf?â The elder to whom Sinclair brought me to meet looks vaguely familiar, and Iâm sure Iâve met him at some event or another. Still, Iâm in such a daze with all this new information, that I can barely keep up. I feel like my brain isnât working properly anymore. I feel slow and stupid, but Sinclair is beside me every step of the way, being patient and loving, scowling every time I suggest thereâs anything wrong with my mind.Now this elder is looking at us with barely contained horror, and I can only burrow deeper into Sinclairâs arms. Iâm in his lap again, though again isnât really correct â since he hasnât put me down once. Iâm technically still on bedrest, but Iâm not complaining. I feel safe when Iâm in his embrace, and I need that security now more than ever. âShe is, but itâs dormant. We only just found out.â Sinclair sighs, scrubbing a hand over his face. He slowly shares our story with the older man, all the way from the beginning
GLORIA'S POV Alpha Damian and I stay up late into the night talking, reveling in this new discovery. Iâd believed our dream date would give us closure, but it turns out it wasnât the end at all â it was the beginning.âItâs no wonder youâve been feeling so big and all the strange things are happening around you. So it means something big is about to happen" Damian consoles, trailing his fingers up and down my naked back.When heâd started stripping me, I thought we were going to make love again â something I was only too eager to experience outside of my dreams. Unfortunately heâd informed me that his wolf wouldnât be able to resist marking me for real, so weâd better wait until we know itâs safe. Of course as soon as he mentioned claiming me, the little voice in my head had gone wild with excitement.Iâd attempted to change his mind, showing off my curves and plying him with kisses. However when my hand snuck down to close around his hard length, heâd put a quick stop to my tricks,
GLORIAMy eyes jerk open, and I surge up in bed.A moment ago Damian was buried inside me â in more ways than one. My hand frantically clamps down on the spot where my neck meets my shoulder. I can still feel Damianâs fangs slicing into my flesh, but there doesnât seem to be a wound in reality.Iâm not bleeding, and it doesnât hurt â though it hadnât hurt in the dream either. All of a sudden Iâm remembering Damianâs ominous words about how a mating mark wouldnât hurt if it was timed right, and now I understand all too well.Iâm still on an emotional high from the dream, I canât believe I became a wolf! It had been the most incredible feeling, unlike anything I could have imagined. And then there was Damian. My body is flushed with heat, and my heart is still pounding. It felt so real, and Iâm so glad that we stole that moment.At the same time, I wonder if the sex was only so good because it was a fantasy? It had to be, thereâs no way anyone could actually be that amazing in real life
GLORIA'S POV Youâve surrendered. That means youâre mine to do with as I wish.ââTyrant.â I accuse, shooting him a sulky look.âLittle wolf, you havenât seen anything yet.â He responds ominously. âYouâre just lucky Iâm not putting you over my knee for running like that.ââOh please, you know you wanted to chase me.â I quip saucily, keenly aware of the way he continues to survey my body, a lethal glint in his green eyes. It feels incredible to know that I have this power over him, that his huge member is hard and pulsing just for me. Feeling devious, I shift on the bed, stretching out my legs and arching my back a bit, showing off my charms. For the first time in a very long time, Iâm enjoying my beauty â and from the low purr Damian emits, so is he.âYou trying to tempt me, minx?â He rumbles appreciatively, the corner of his mouth quirking up. âDonât you know that isnât necessary? I need no encouragement to eat you up.âThe sound of his pleasure encourages me, and I bat my lashes, ado

GLORIA'S POV Thereâs a pregnant pause filled with the sound of my pounding heart and my blood rushing in my ears. Then Damianâs hand is reaching towards me. He catches my chin between his thumb and forefinger, pulling my gaze up to his. I sob when I see the expression on his face.His eyes are shining â not with his wolf â but with tears. Thereâs so much affection and understanding on his rugged features, that I feel like heâs wrapped me in a hug without even touching me. âI love you, Gloria. I think Iâve been in love with you from the moment you hissed at me that day at the hospital, You have no idea how hard itâs been to hold my wolf back when you're gone"âReally?â I sniffle, because even though I was expecting him to tell me he had feelings, I wasnât prepared for love. I certainly wasnât prepared to hear that his wolf wanted me too. My stubborn mind is still amazed the man could be interested in me, let alone his inner animal.âReally.â He confirms firmly, âand if you donât get
