We were tearing off our clothes in record time. I tried to take off my gown by raising it above my head but the bodice was too tight and would not budge. Asena growled some curses as she tried to make me force the cloth off.“Calm down.” Cahir held my hand to stop me from ripping off my dress.“I can’t,” I groaned in frustration, energized as if I wasn’t about to black out less than an hour ago. “I want you,” Asena growled at me, urging me to rip off the dress but Cahir flipped me on my back before I started to struggle again.I felt the heat of his body as he straddled my thighs, dragging my zipper down. The cool air on my back made me crave the warmth of his skin again. He kissed the side of my neck with a growl vibrating from his chest as he pressed against me from behind.“Look at that creamy skin.” He left wet kisses down my back while pulling my zipper. “Relax.” The command in his voice made me still. I hadn’t known I was arching off the bed in a desperate attempt to be closer t
*Cahir*I should join her in the bath – help her wash her back and maybe her front. Holy hell, she was going to have me in a constant horny mess. How could a body be so perfect? Why did the goddess favour her so with a body that had me panting for a fourth round in two hours?“Self-control, Cahir!” I snapped at myself. It took all my willpower to stop myself from hopping out of bed and joining her in the shower. The sound of the shower running called my name and I almost answered.Just picturing her naked under that stream of water had me panting then I saw red for a second, imagining the water sliding down her skin while I fought myself to retain control.I’d heard the first few weeks of mating could be intense with the need to mate at every hour and the possessive urge to hide one’s mate, but I didn’t think it would be true to this extent. I never wanted to get out of this bed ever again. All I wanted was to burrow into her forever. That thought had me swallowing – hard.While a mat
*KADE*I paced the cell the warriors threw me into without respect for my dignity. The people here did not know who I was and it showed. If they knew – If they knew – I deflated. The people in Alpha Blood pack were untouchable. They could not be wronged without their Alpha going berserk. Still, I needed to do something about these people. Especially their Alpha.How could he – No, how dare he undermine me like this?“He has to pay!” Flint was snarling but I shoved my wolf’s anger to the back of my mind. I didn’t need his anger to fuel mine and make me act without thought.Cahir Armani could not be underestimated and the way he flung a challenge at my face, I would be stupid to fall for his trap. He wanted me angry, he even encouraged it.Take your pound of flesh from me.He spoke with a sort of confidence and a gleam in his eyes that made me wary.Cahir Armani, you bastard!I needed to do something about the smug bastard but common sense told me to tread with caution.“What caution?”
I looked up at the ceiling in my room with a pillow clutched to my chest. My body tingled in a dozen different places and if I got up too fast, sharp pain in my back and legs made me sit back down. Cahir had bent me over in ways I did not think I was flexible enough to get into and then he chased me out of his room.“That isn’t how it happened, though.” Asena’s quiet voice echoed in my head but I said nothing in response to her.It may not have happened exactly like that but that was how I felt. How could he send me away to my room after we engaged in the most intimate of acts?“Have you considered he may have done it for our benefit? Isn’t it better to wear our clothes rather than –“ Asena trailed off, seeing that her excuse for her mate did not make perfect sense.I know I went too far wearing his clothes without first asking him but he didn’t have to tell me to go to my room for it. Since I came to his pack, I always slept in his room. Although he never shared the bed with me after
*CAHIR*…You treat me like shit!Those words resonated in my head as I drove to my office at midnight.What the fuck did she mean by I was treating her like shit!? Considering I never wanted a mate, I felt I was doing good enough with one. I never wanted a mate but I did not want any woman in my life to feel as if they were being mistreated.“Trouble in paradise?” Aristo walked into my office behind me.“Don’t bother me, I have to work.” I fell into my seat and powered on my computer while my Beta snickered from opposite me.“Why are you working when you can be balls deep in your Luna?”“Aristo.” I raised my head from my computer screen.Every day, he spoke about my woman and sex in such a casual way, that it irked my wolf. My Beta may be a man ruled by his dick ninety percent of the time, but he was smart enough the other ten percent of the time to know better than to continue discussing my mate as if she was a common woman and not his Luna.“Hey, don’t eat me. I am only –“ He laughe
My first reaction when I saw Avalon was to rush and hide. I’d forgotten she was in this pack with her family as punishment for what she did to me.“Sihana,” she sneered my name while she looked at me. Despite the bucket and mop she carried with her, Avalon maintained a dignified air with her fiery red hair pulled up in a slick bun.“Avalon, how are you?” I asked, tucking a hair strand behind my ear. I squashed the urge to run by reminding myself of my new station. I was the Luna of this pack – her Luna. She could not hurt me anymore. I won’t give her the chance to hurt me!“Why do you care?” She sneered again.If we were still in Silver Moon pack, her hand would have lashed out faster than I could blink as she dealt me a painful blow but this time, all she could do was glare at me and sneer. Her green eyes were alight with hatred that spread goosebumps all over my skin.“As the Luna – As the Luna, it’s my duty to care about every member of Alpha Blood pack,” I answered her, raising my
The look in Cahir’s eyes had Aristo jumping away while I swallowed a thick lump as goosebumps rose on my skin.“Now – Now that I think about it, I have – I have work to do. See you later!” Aristo broke into a jog as he escaped the fire blazing around his Alpha.“Good – Good morning,” I swallowed, feeling sweat break out on my forehead from the heat of the anger in his eyes.I felt the waves of his anger crash into me and I knew I had to dispel the rage building around him but after what happened the other night, I didn’t know how to face him.“How – How are you?” He didn’t look very good.Despite the anger around him, his expression remained impassive but the dark circles around his eyes worried my wolf. He looked like he had not slept a wink the previous night. I noticed then that he was still wearing the clothes from yesterday.“Did you sleep in the office?” I asked in alarm when he still did not say anything to me, choosing to stare at me with the anger rolling off him.“What were
“This is Sebastian. He will be responsible for your security from now on.” Cahir introduced me to a tall and lean muscular man.He had close-cropped sandy brown hair and he looked like he had never and would never smile a day in his life. The stoic expression on his face while he was introduced made me feel as if he didn’t like me - as if he thought guarding me would be a waste of his time. The words he spoke next made me realize I was right.“With all due respect, Alpha, I am the head of your guards. It is my duty to protect you and only you.” He turned away from me as if I wasn’t anything.“I don’t need your protection,” Cahir said to him without paying much attention. He seemed to be waiting for something – or someone. “She is my Luna. Protect her with your life.” With those words, he dismissed Sebastian.“Yes, Alpha.” He left Cahir’s office with that, giving me one last intense look before he left.“Sebastian is the best man to protect you,” Cahir informed me after the guard left.
