LOGINRAINA’S POVI threw my head back, and a throaty moan left me, the pleasure overriding the dull ache of how Valen stretched me. His cock slid as deep inside me as possible, picking up speed, making me moan louder.Biting my lips, holding onto him tightly as I ground my hips eagerly against each thrust, finding my rhythm as I chased my pleasure.The sight of his brows furrowed, eyes narrowed as he breathed heavily, was sinfully erotic.I arched my back, lifting my chest, and he sank his mouth to my exposed breast and took the sensitive bud into my mouth.“Oh, Valen,” I moaned and cried out as he nipped it lightly.I knotted my fingers in the back of his hair, tangling them in the silky strands and tugging lightly, earning a growl.He continued with deeper, faster strokes, filling and emptying my pussy so quickly that it was left clenching and seizing, unable to keep up with the tsunami of his cock.“Oh, yes. Uh. Oh.” I crooned in rhythm with him and pressed my nose on his jaw.My lips b
RAINA’S POVOur eyes lifted, locking simultaneously into the same intense gaze that made me want him to take me right there in the forest.Valen’s emeralds dilated into full obsidian black, devoured by desire.His beast wanted me.“I am in a tough struggle.” The statement rolled off his tongue, deep and husky in a lover’s tenor. “I can feel how much you want me. Your body has been saying it all night.”“Yes, but…hauh,” I gasped at the pressure of his hips against my own. I was done for, and now I was very, very wet. “Huu…”“It’s all your fault. Your arousal is quite hard to ignore.” He tenderly cupped both sides of my face, and my lungs rose, filling to the brim with crisp air. “You arouse me like a sugar-addicting vixen. You give me those bedroom eyes, and then you want to run away when my thick cunt driller makes his appearance.”He leaned in slowly, his eyes burning dark with want. A sexy smirk curved his lips, and he stopped just short of my lips.“Should I spank you for not playi
RAINA'S POV-Outside the hotel, the night was pleasantly cool. Excited howls pierced through the air as everyone began undressing, getting ready for the relic hunt.“The night is to be revered. No blood or fighting is acceptable. Failure to adhere will warrant demotion or imprisonment.” Valen boomed, gently leading me into the vast courtyard. “Finders keepers. Keep things fair.”It was tradition for the Alpha to lead them through the forest until they reached the Syloneth Mountains. Then we’d branch off to our sacred spot that was forbidden to others.“Ride me, my queen.” Valen’s words were both suggestive and demanding as he paused on the concrete pavement and drew me close, gazing down at me lewdly.I could hear his heavy breathing, and my own breath hitched in response.“You enjoy saying that, don't you?” I placed my hands on his chest, fiddling with a button on his vest.“Only to my top girl,” he smirked deviously, ever-so-lightly letting his lips brush against mine in the most te
VALEN’S POVA territorial growl rumbled from my chest as I watched Jason boldly waltz away with my woman.Mine. Zeus’ primal urge surged through me.I stepped forward before I could stop myself, because every instinct within me was compelling me to take her back.The Elders didn’t waste time. Elder Sybil plodded up to me, escorting a blonde alpha-female.“Pass,” I almost roared and walked to where Raina was dancing, as though I was chasing her down. The way that show-stopping, red dress flared over her hips and swirled mid-thigh, teasing me.My jaw clenched, and I placed my hands on my waist, just watching them dance with displeasure, having light conversations, talking, and laughing without a single care for me. Then several others began joining the dance floor.“Alpha Valen.” Even with a cane, Elder George could still be sneaky. “Pleasant evening.”He appeared beside me with an alpha-female on his arm, whom I hardly noticed.“There are many dancing partners available for you, Alpha.
RAINA’S POVFaces drained, and a strained hush descended.Undaunted, I faced the Elders and muttered sarcastically, “I do hope you are all satisfied with my moon card's blessings and that you've equally gotten your own heart’s desire.”The ballroom shattered into buzzing murmurs like a knocked-over beehive, and the atmosphere shifted. Energy slammed into me from every direction, ricocheting inside me like balls in a heated rally.I sighed in exasperation and tucked the card away. I shouldn’t have expected more. They were unsettled and disgruntled. So hard to please, and Valen’s impatience exploded.He didn’t wait for their doubts to snare us into further discussions. His hands closed around mine before I even turned.“Make room for my mate and me to have our opening dance,” Valen commanded with finality and swirled me around to face him.Those dreamy emeralds locked me in place, and his warm breath ghosted against my lips.“Dance with me, Bluebella,” he suggested, raising my hand to d
RAINA’S POVA prickling sensation shot up my spine. I whipped around, and in the spur of the moment, Valen flashed past me. In a blur, he intercepted with a mighty force, slamming an alpha flat on his back into the white marble floor with a bone-jarring thud, cracks spidering beneath his body.“I chose your mate to be by my side for the night. I did not authorize her to provoke my Luna,” Valen growled, pinning the black-haired man who was almost the same size as him by his throat.I moved closer to them, wondering who it could be.I choked on a gasp when I realized the subdued Alpha was Valiant. Valen’s cousin. Possessive energy radiated from him. It couldn’t have been over me.Aw shucks. This explained everything.Relief crashed over me as I realized that Pandia’s golden bracelet had to be from Valiant, not Valen. Yet, she had provoked her own mate. Tsk. Another mate drama.Valiant’s vicious cerulean eyes locked on me, dilating as his wolf simmered at the surface. When he growled at
RAINA’S POVThe air fizzled around us. So much anger.These two…good grief, I groaned internally."Don't worry, Rai," Azara offered, full of optimism. "In the long run, they’ll put aside their differences when they realize it’s what they need to do to protect you. They will eventually see eye-to-eye
RAINA’S POV“Are you okay?” Valen asked as soon as we teleported to Zannos while he cradled me in his arms in the darkness. “Are you cold?”Several round lights swept across the temple as the gang switched on their helmet lights. The smell of parched dirt mixed with dried corn pervaded the air, lea
Trig. W.: if childbirth is something you'd rather not read about, go ahead and skip this chapter. There is no loss.VALEN’S POVI turned away from them and pressed my forehead onto the cold stone wall, breathing hard, shaking.“Your Luna is on the line,” I snapped with irritation. “I should be in th
VALEN’S POVDelicate, warm fingers wrap around mine, drawing my attention back to Raina. The pained expression on her face gutted me."Go," Raina whispered, tilting her head up to offer a tired smile. "It's important."I took her hand in mine and brought her fingers to my lips. "Baby, you're import
