Kara After three long brooding hours, we were finally getting close to the Crimson Moon Pack. I had never seen anything like it. The size of the pack was bigger than some of the human cities I had visited. It was incredibly cold, the dark starry sky shone like diamonds against the black canvas. I could just make out the shape of the huge tan wall that acted as a barricade surrounding the entire city. The place was a fortress. As we drove over the sand dunes, I wondered how I would survive the heat here. It’s unusual for wolves to pick a place where there are little to no trees or plants as far as the eye can see. Despite its desert state, it was rather beautiful. There were towers and turrets everywhere I could see. How did they all survive this heat? No wonder Elio was powerful. Who would challenge him when the elements are this fierce? I was feeling weak from lack of food and drink. Was he really going to starve me? Didn’t he need to eat or drink to survive? I glanced up at him,
KaraHis brother comes up, pulling his shoulder to release me as I gag for air. Elio takes a few steps back and I can see the two of them are mind linking. My lower lip trembles as I snap my eyes shut. How could I have been so stupid? I know what I need to do to survive. Why would I risk my life?His threat circles in my head about not being his wife over and over. I take another breath. I need to play this smart. Being his wife comes with security, respect so many advantages I would have. If I lose that, what will become of me? He won’t just lock me up and throw away the key, not if his tone is anything to go by. He will choose something to punish me, humiliate me. Then, when I crave death, he will find some other torment.No Kara, you can do this. I chant as I force my wolf back, the oxygen recirculating my body, making it easier to control her. When I look up at both of them, they are both staring at me. “This is my brother, Cahya. He is the beta of this pack. I have also told him
KaraI close the door to my bedroom. Goddess, it is five times the size of mine back home. I turn, seeing a little peephole through the door and sure enough, Marquis is still waiting outside. I need to calm down … perhaps a bath and some food will help.It’s hard to feel trapped when I can do cartwheels across the floor. I have never seen a room so big. There is a huge king size bed that I will drown in. it has its own curtain around the top of the bed frame. One wall is all arches with a view of the entire city. There is a walk-in wardrobe that I will use one shelf of with all the clothes I packed. Not that it matters, as the wardrobe is stocked with dresses, shoes, trousers, tops, jumpers, jackets. Anything I could ever want or need for my lifetime of servitude. Wonderful.I refuse to linger there too long. If I do, I will probably find ways for my mind to trick me into thinking he bought all these items for me. That he took the care to choose what I would wear. But I doubt it. It
Kara Despite the dark, damp smell that is coming from the twisted corridor, I decided to take a step. If they don’t know this corridor is here, perhaps … This could lead to me getting out of the castle. Then what I don’t know, but curiosity got the better of me, so I carried on all the same. I had only ever read one book when I was younger. It was a about 12 princesses who lived in a castle and would escape to dance all night with their prince. I wonder if this would lead me to my prince? The uneven steps made it tricky to manoeuvre down the further I went the light from my room began to disappear. Not that it mattered as a werewolf I can see easily in the dark, but there is something comforting about light. The sound of water dripping on some of the steps echoed through the air, making them slippery to walk on. Where does this lead? Once I was completely submerged in the darkness, there was a fork in my path, left, or right? This was a little tricky, as now I wasn’t sure where to
Elio All night, I kept envisioning her body. So beautiful. I wanted her. The image of her in the bathtub replayed over and over again in my mind. How she stood up, the water trickling down her breasts, curves and that pussy … so pink and perfect I was hard instantly. Of course, that image of her only lasted a second before she screamed bloody murder and dived back under the water to cover herself. One day she will scream like that for me. The entire castle will hear her. For such a sinful body, her face is so innocent. The green doe eyes and the plush pink pouty lips. The image of her on her knees as I feed my cock into her mouth has me twitching. Fuck. Then there is her fucking scent of sunshine and roses. I went back into the bathroom once I knew she had left. I replayed her standing before me, naked. The steam from her bath lingered, as did her scent. I trailed my fingers along the surface of the water, imagining how the water cascaded down over her smooth skin. Those water
Kara Burning flames and eyes filled my dreams last night. I don’t know how I made it back to my room, but I did. I am never ever going down there again. What is he keeping here? I woke with a start. The feeling of the shadow creature touching me lingered on my skin. I could still smell the faint smell of flames as I looked around my room. There was a knock at the door as I slowly tiptoed to the door, pushing away the furniture I’d used to barricade myself in. “Hello?” I asked tentatively. My skin was already warming with the heat of the day, a light sheen of sweat beginning to coat my skin. “Kara, please open up. I have brought you breakfast,” Marquis calls through the door for a fleeting second. I’m disappointed it’s not Elio. We are to be married soon; will he not spend any time with me? I shake my head at the thought, why do I want him too? I look over at where all the food from last night lay, thinking I can just graze on some of the fruit and nuts that were there. It’s gone.
Kara I left my room and began heading downstairs to see Elio. Marquis had shown me where it was earlier today, so I knew the route. Apparently, Elio had given him the night off because only he was allowed to see me in this dress. I had laughed when he told me, but now that I’m in it, I’m a little relieved. It’s having a balcony bra neckline and hugs my little curves like a second skin. There is a high thigh slit that cuts across diagonally. The fabric itself is rather sheer in places, with beads and lace concealing areas of my body. I have never worn a dress like this, but having seen Aurora wear them, I decide to channel her and wear it with confidence, squaring my shoulders back as I head down the stairs. There is also no one around. It gives me a few chills … did he command the whole castle not to be here? I don’t know if I should feel flattered by that or not? Still, I carry on focusing on remembering the way to go to the dining area. I feel my nerves begin to get the best of
Elio I could see her anger rising as her chest heaved, but still, I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist me for much longer. She looked up at me, her nostrils flaring as her eyes narrowed. I gave her my seductive smile, one that normally was enough to have most woman begging for me. If me being alpha and had a massive dick wasn’t enough. “Your only chance of getting laid is if you crawl up a chicken’s arse and wait!” she snapped as she swatted my hand away from her throat. She was stronger than she looked. “Now let me go!” she tugged on her wrist and my anger simmered. In the back of my mind, I enjoyed her arguing with me, although right now I wasn’t going to let her know that. “Is that so little wolf? Then why does you body suggest otherwise? I can see your nipples poking through the fabric of your dress,” I taunt, my fingers pinching one of them for emphasis. I smirked, seeing her bite her lip for a fraction of a second before she tried to stand, her hand still dragging the chair
