GLORIA'S POV āWhat do you mean sheās not a wolf?ā The elder to whom Sinclair brought me to meet looks vaguely familiar, and Iām sure Iāve met him at some event or another. Still, Iām in such a daze with all this new information, that I can barely keep up. I feel like my brain isnāt 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 thereās anything wrong with my mind.Now this elder is looking at us with barely contained horror, and I can only burrow deeper into Sinclairās arms. Iām in his lap again, though again isnāt really correct ā since he hasnāt put me down once. Iām technically still on bedrest, but Iām not complaining. I feel safe when Iām in his embrace, and I need that security now more than ever. āShe is, but itās dormant. We only just found out.ā 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. Iād believed our dream date would give us closure, but it turns out it wasnāt the end at all ā it was the beginning.āItās no wonder youāve 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 heād started stripping me, I thought we were going to make love again ā something I was only too eager to experience outside of my dreams. Unfortunately heād informed me that his wolf wouldnāt be able to resist marking me for real, so weād better wait until we know itās safe. Of course as soon as he mentioned claiming me, the little voice in my head had gone wild with excitement.Iād 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, heād 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 ā in more ways than one. My hand frantically clamps down on the spot where my neck meets my shoulder. I can still feel Damianās fangs slicing into my flesh, but there doesnāt seem to be a wound in reality.Iām not bleeding, and it doesnāt hurt ā though it hadnāt hurt in the dream either. All of a sudden Iām remembering Damianās ominous words about how a mating mark wouldnāt hurt if it was timed right, and now I understand all too well.Iām still on an emotional high from the dream, I canāt 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 Iām 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, thereās no way anyone could actually be that amazing in real life
GLORIA'S POV Youāve surrendered. That means youāre mine to do with as I wish.āāTyrant.ā I accuse, shooting him a sulky look.āLittle wolf, you havenāt seen anything yet.ā He responds ominously. āYouāre just lucky Iām not putting you over my knee for running like that.āāOh please, you know you wanted to chase me.ā 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, Iām enjoying my beauty ā and from the low purr Damian emits, so is he.āYou trying to tempt me, minx?ā He rumbles appreciatively, the corner of his mouth quirking up. āDonāt you know that isnāt necessary? I need no encouragement to eat you up.āThe sound of his pleasure encourages me, and I bat my lashes, ado

GLORIA'S POV Thereās a pregnant pause filled with the sound of my pounding heart and my blood rushing in my ears. Then Damianās 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 ā not with his wolf ā but with tears. Thereās so much affection and understanding on his rugged features, that I feel like heās wrapped me in a hug without even touching me. āI love you, Gloria. I think Iāve been in love with you from the moment you hissed at me that day at the hospital, You have no idea how hard itās been to hold my wolf back when you're gone"āReally?ā I sniffle, because even though I was expecting him to tell me he had feelings, I wasnāt prepared for love. I certainly wasnāt 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.āReally.ā He confirms firmly, āand if you donāt get
