Jonathan followed Asante’s lead, the sun still beating down, but the oppressive weight of the truce meeting starting to lift. He opened the passenger door of his sleek, black SUV for her, a gesture of politeness that felt almost foreign in this charged atmosphere. As she slid inside, a subtle scent – something floral and subtly spicy – drifted to him, a stark contrast to the dust and heat of the field. He walked around to the driver's side, the leather of the steering wheel feeling cool beneath his palms. He knew that the old men would be watching, he had to show his father that he was down with the plan, and he had to show Asante's father that he was okay with the partnership too. "Somewhere serene and secluded, you said," he mused, glancing at her as he started the engine. "Anywhere in particular, or should I just drive until we find a hidden oasis?" Asante turned in her seat, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her eyes, dark and intelligent, held a spark of something he couldn
The air in the luxury SUV was thick with a silence that hummed with unspoken words. Jonathan stared out at the passing landscape, the familiar fields blurring into an indistinct green. Beside him, Alpha King Maguire sat. "Ready for anything, Jon?" Maguire's voice was a low rumble, cutting through the quiet. Jonathan shifted, turning to face his father. "Always, Father. Though I admit, 'anything' feels particularly broad today." He knew what his father meant. These truces were always a delicate dance, a performance of peace over simmering resentment. Maguire grunted, a sound that could mean approval or exasperation. "Good. Because today, 'anything' might just be the understatement of the year. Darius is an old wolf, shrewd and unpredictable." The sun beat down relentlessly as the two imposing SUVs finally came to a halt, spaced respectfully on either side of the parched field. Jonathan watched as the figures emerged from the opposing vehicle – Alpha Darius and his daughter, Asante.
I sat on the bed, legs still trembling, a slow grin spread across my face. A grin I forced. This was going to be… interesting. Jenny DaBitch’s crash course in advanced sexual acrobatics – two-somes, three-somes, the whole shebang – suddenly felt incredibly relevant. I should have been stuck in limbo, not knowing what to go, but her golden rule that had been etched in my mind echoed loud: “Two pussies, one cock? Pussies run the show. Reverse it? Same deal.” This was my chance to prove the theory. "Come here," I said to Isabella. I could see the shock ripple across her perfectly sculpted face, a fleeting hesitation before her predatory instincts took over. Moments ago, I hated her for the deal, now I wanted her close. I would have to rethink, too. Jonathan’s eyes, however, never left me – eyes that were dimmed and small, negating his big-eyed boy look that was sharp and dominant. No pain today, I decided. Even though I gotta share Jonathan. Today, I call the shots. Is
We have been seen. But by who? My breath hitched, like a strangled bird caught in a hunter’s snare. Jonathan rushed to his feet. The look on his face was a hilarious mix of panicked rabbit and guilty schoolboy. I'd rather look into his face than the face of the one who has entered. My thighs were slick with his sweat, a testament to our clandestine tryst. "Well, well, well," I heard the feminine voice. That was a relief. It was not King Maguire. It was not death! “Isabella?” Jonathan called. "Look what the Alpha King's future queen is getting up to. A little pre-wedding... practice?" Isabella said. Now I swerve my gaze to look at her. Her eyes, cold and sharp as shards of ice, swept over us both, lingering a beat too long on Jonathan's rumpled hair. Jonathan sputtered, "Isabella, please! You can't tell anyone!" His voice was a pathetic squeak, a far cry from his usual arrogant swagger. My silence was a roar. Death was a very real possibility; a slow, agonizing de
"No! You belong to my father, none else," Jonathan replied."Please," I pleaded, tears welling in my eyes. "I don't want to end up like one of the slaves who call themselves brides of the Alpha King. I don't want to have a man without feeling, just to give birth. I want to experience love. I want to be attached to my mate."Jonathan’s jaw tightened. "My father is your mate," he shouted.“I don’t think so, Prince Jonathan. If I am married to a man who’s not my mate, a man as powerful as the Alpha King, my wolf will never come out. I have to avenge my mother and have my own pack. I need my wolf for that,” I pleaded.He beckoned to one of the guards with a curt gesture. "Hey, come pick her up."The guard approached, his expression impassive, his movements efficient."No," I cried, kissing him. It was a rush of events; I didn’t even feel the kiss. I did it out of reflex. "You are my mate. I felt it. When you touched me, my wolf stirred within me. I need you for my wolf to mature. Please,
The car ride was swift and silent. I caught glimpses of Jonathan beside me and wondered about the level of his allegiance to his father.Soon, we were in a large, open field. A jet waited. I was led to it and seated on a chair, alone.I stared out the window, watching the familiar landscape shrink beneath me. The thought of my home, the place of my childhood and forced upbringing, was a complicated mix of resentment and loss. But still, I didn’t want to be separated from it.Waves of my earlier connection with Jonathan resurfaced, and I sighed. *Why can’t he just take me to himself?* I wondered.Jenny Da’Bitch’s tutorials echoed in my mind: “…seduction is a weapon, a tool…”I wondered if I could wield it. Not for the Alpha King. But for the Alpha Prince.Minutes stretched into an eternity. The smooth landing announced our arrival on Furiosa Island.The door hissed open, and Jonathan emerged.“Come,” he commanded.I walked toward him, my eyes fixed on his."Bow your head when you see h
