LOGINMarabella POV
“Check.” Anetta grinned, and I rolled my eyes, looking over the courtyard we were playing chess in out the back of the mansion.
I sucked at chess, and I didn’t care for it. Anetta made me play it all the time, and she always won, so I didn’t see why I had to keep suffering just to boost her ego.
Her grin was wide as she waited for me to make my move. I looked over the board, finding a piece that could make a move without being stolen, then leaned back in my chair.
Everything this side of the mansion was boxed in by trees and foliage that I wanted to explore but was apparently not allowed to.
At least it was warm today. With winter coming fast, it was rare to get a morning that didn’t try to freeze my limbs.
Anetta moved again. “Check. You suck at this game.”
She chuckled, and I nodde
Marabella POVAnetta led me around the side gate of the mansion, across the lawns, and down onto the neat cobblestone path that made its way through the city, spreading off in random directions everywhere.The wind brushed over us lightly, kissing my exposed arms, and I savored the feeling on my hot skin that just wouldn’t stop clamming up.The flutters inside me got stronger, and my shadows stirred. I held my stomach, not sure why it felt like they were trying to give me some kind of message, an instinct or something that I couldn’t interpret.I rubbed lightly as we walked, the slight pressure of my hand on the roundness making a little bit of the ache go away.“Is it painful?” Anetta asked, looking down at where I held my stomach with a frown.I shook my head. “Not with the potion I have to take and the alphas’ toxin.

Brax POVI smoothed my thumb over her skin and followed her and Jayden into the house, annoyed when I saw the vamps already seated there with their tea, politely waiting, a smirk on Silas’s face.His chin raised a little, his nostrils flaring, his eyes going over Marabella like he knew exactly what she had just done. He let out a small sneer before standing.“You call a meeting with us and then are late to said meeting? Disrespectful. Where is Jordan? He is the only one I wish to speak with,” Silas muttered, but just as he finished his sentence, Marabella’s hand left mine and she ran into the arms of one of the vamps.I snarled, stepping forward, but Jayden stopped me, holding me back as the vamp wrapped his arms back around her.“Lucas,” she breathed, and he smiled tightly.“Hey, sister. Nice to see you again,&
BRAX POVI followed Jayden back out of the mansion. We climbed into the waiting carriage, and it started taking us toward Tabby’s.We’d only just left the city border when my shadows swirled inside me, something tugging at them until my body filled with the familiar scent of Spitfire.My shadows perked up, and I reached for her. She was right there as I filled her body with them. She sighed, and whatever magic she had been using to hide herself in the carriage disappeared.Jayden snarled as she appeared on the seat, her coat on, a grin on her face.“I knew you’d leave without me, assholes,” she said, smacking Jayden’s arm before standing up and taking her coat off.I sucked in a breath as she lifted her skirts and climbed on my lap, her lips finding mine. I groaned against her, loving the way she felt against me after
BRAX POVI ran so fast, my paws hitting the soft ground as I ran around the perimeter of our city, my claws hitting the edge of the water that lapped at the edges.It had been an entire week since I’d been able to shift, the healing taking way too long, but I knew that was because Cain had to save enough magic for Spitfire and the baby, so I wasn’t complaining.But it had been rough.My tongue hung outside my mouth as I grinned, pushing my refreshed body farther, the wind pushing back my coat as I barreled past the gates and into the city.I raced through the streets and straight up to the mansion, taking the steps two at a time before rushing in, desperate to find Marabella and the other alphas.I figured they were probably fucking, their restraint as minimal as mine, but I couldn’t blame them. They were taking advantage of the fact that her pregnancy had made her even more insatiable.If I hadn’t been bedridden for the week, I would be inside her too. Even then, she had paid me a li
Marabella POVI gasped as he sucked in a breath. My body took him in slowly as I lowered myself, stretching to fit his length inside. My pussy clutched him tightly until he was entirely sheathed within me.I started moving, riding him slowly, lifting myself almost completely off him before sinking back down. He groaned loudly and met me each time with a luxurious stroke.My head fell back as his hand cupped my breast, his mouth teasing the nipple until my pace quickened, the fire inside me burning brighter.I moaned as I fucked him, claiming him as mine, a promise not to abandon him like his family had. I would get us out of this. I had to.I shuddered against him, my breasts his meal as my pussy fucked him. He felt so good inside me, filling me with every glorious inch of him.My body was full, my heart was full as I held him to me, his mouth leaving kisses and marks over my pale skin. His fingers dug into my hips, holding me steady as I used his shoulders as leverage.Pleasure radia
