MasukDARIUS’S POV
For someone who looked like she was about to start a fight just a few minutes ago, she sure knew how to melt into my kiss.
My tongue surged into her mouth, battling with hers. There was nothing gentle about it—just me asserting my dominance. I needed to remind her exactly where she belonged for the past year.
We were in the hallway, and I knew anyone could pass by, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not when heat blazed through me, a primal pull forcing me to her as she rubbed her body against mine, her chest pressing into my suit jacket.
“Darius… not here…” she pulled away, her breathing harsh as she gripped my jacket in her hands.
I groaned against her lips, glancing around before my eyes fixed onto the nearest door. It was a simple door that looked like exactly where I needed to drag her right now.
“What’s in there?” I demanded.
Her gaze slid to the door. “It’s a storage room. It’s been empty for a while, but the servants clean it every day and—”
I didn’t wait to hear the rest. I dragged her into it, barely letting her back hit the wall before my lips found hers again, sucking her lower lip into my mouth as I deepened the kiss.
She moaned against me as I ground my hips against hers. I pushed my knees between her legs, rubbing my hardening length against her thighs. “Feel that, Iris? That’s what you fucking do. That’s what you’ve always done to me.” The words tangled into moans that went straight to my core, making my erection pulse even harder.
Fuckkk, I need this. I need her.
My hand closed around her neck, firmly but gently cutting off her air supply as I pulled her gown up with my other hand, my fingers pulling her panties aside as I felt her.
She was soaking wet, already ready for me.
Wet, slick sounds filled the tiny room as I pressed one finger into her. Then another. Then three. I pumped them into her slowly, taking pleasure in the shaky moans and gasps that escaped her.
Her core clenched hard around my fingers as I curled them inside her, hitting that perfect spot that made her vision swim. Her body twitched and shuddered against mine, her breasts pressing into my chest as she kissed me back deeply. “D-Darius… Alpha Wolfe… Please…”
I growled against her lips, loving the way she called me Alpha Wolfe. It was formal and respectful, yet it held the hint of submission that always drove me wild.
I added another finger, stretching her out as I worked her with my hand. “Shh…” I whispered against her mouth, “Just take my fingers like a good girl. You’ll take my cock just as well, huh?” My thumb pressed against her clit, rubbing circles as I fisted her roughly.
The sound of the wet movements amplified in the small room, her fluids coating my wrist.
Her eyes rolled back as she came hard on my fingers, her pussy gripping and milking them.
Before she could even catch her breath, I pulled my fingers out and lifted her up suddenly. “Oh fuck, you’re dripping,” I groaned, looking at her swollen, red pussy coated in her juices. Mine. Pulling down my pants, I quickly exposed my erection, rubbing the head of my cock against her entrance teasingly, soaking myself in her wetness.
This is wrong. But when did I ever care about right or wrong when it came to her?
“Put your legs around my waist,” I ordered gruffly, holding her up easily. As soon as she wrapped her legs around me, I thrust deep into her soaked pussy in one smooth motion. “Fuck, yes…so warm….”
She moaned loudly, her head falling back against the wall as I started to pound into her relentlessly. My cock hit every spot inside her, filling her completely. “Darius…” She whimpered, gripping my shoulders tightly.
“Shh, you can take it,” I growled, grabbing her thighs and spreading them wider to go deeper. The small room reverberated with the sounds of our coupling—wet slaps and her desperate moans.
I leaned down to bite her neck hard, a swift mark of possession, my hips hammering against hers.
As I continued to fuck her brutally, my cock swelled at the base, my knot forming rapidly inside her. She gasped sharply as it locked us together, stretching her more than before. “There it is,” I growled possessively against her ear.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, no..yes…” She panted as the knot expanded fully inside her.
I started shallow thrusts, using the knot to stretch her open and deep instead of pounding. Each slow movement made her whimper and squirm. The new rhythm rubbed the knot against her sensitive spot perfectly. “Darius…”
“Yes pretty thing… feel that? Me filling you up in your pack when I’m supposed to marry another?” I whispered, pulling her into a deep kiss as I slowly pumped the knot into her sopping cunt.
My hands squeezed her ass possessively, holding her trapped on my length. The knot pulsed inside her slowly, mimicking a powerful heartbeat against her walls.
She nodded helplessly against my mouth, her body trembling. I kissed her roughly, my hand sliding up to grip her throat lightly. “Take it…” I commanded between kisses.
“Fuck…yes,” She whimpered and nodded, trying to breathe through the intense pleasure. I broke the kiss to look into her eyes, my thumb pressing against her windpipe lightly.
“Look at me,” I demanded softly but firmly. Her eyes fluttered open, glazed over with pleasure and submission.
I started to thrust the knot deeper and slower, hitting a spot inside her that made her eyes roll back. “Good girl… Just feel it,” I praised, my gaze dark as I pulled my cock out slightly and slammed back in.
“Fuck!” Her body shook violently as the knot hit that spot repeatedly. She was completely lost, her hands gripping my arms desperately.
Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes from the pleasure and the light choking. I leaned down to kiss those tears away gently while continuing the slow, deep thrusts.
Without breaking the gentle kiss, I suddenly snapped my hips forward, slamming the knot against her most sensitive spot with brutal force. She cried out into my mouth, her body convulsing as I began to fuck her hard and fast, the knot providing a constant, intense stimulation.
I fucked her so hard the sounds of skin meeting resounded. My balls slapped against her ass with every thrust and the knot swelled even bigger inside her, pulsing wildly against her sensitive walls.
She screamed and moaned loudly, her fluids squirting all over the knot and my cock. “Fuck—I’m—”
“That’s it… come all over my dick,” I growled against her lips between brutal thrusts. Her body convulsed violently as she peaked again and again—her orgasms triggered by each punishing slam.
Suddenly, loud voices sounded outside the storage room door. Her eyes widened, clearing with instant panic.
She was going to try to speak. Without waiting, my hand slammed onto her mouth, muffling her words as I pounded into her with slow, sharp thrusts to reduce the noise of skin hitting skin.
“Mhmh,” she struggled with me, but I held her tight, knowing people were outside.
“Have you seen Alpha Darius yet?” A muffled voice outside asked another.
Shit. They were looking for me.
I silenced her completely with my hand, pushing my fingers between her lips.
I felt her core clamp down on my knot as she tried to push it out, her body tensing. “Darius…” She groaned against my hand.
“Too bad,” I whispered darkly, ramming deep into her.
Stars seemed to explode behind her eyes as I snapped my hips forward brutally, the knot swelling to its maximum size and locking us together. She went limp in my arms, completely overwhelmed.
I held her still for a second before letting her slide to her feet, aware that her knees were weak. “You okay?” I asked, a routine question.
Her breathing was harsh. “What do you think?”
I grinned, tucking myself back in. “You’re leaking my cum, Iris. We’re going to have a hell of a time.”
I kissed her temple gently. Her eyes were barely open, still recovering from the intense pleasure, as I slipped back out into the hallway.
What kind of fun did I think we were going to have?
And most importantly, why did I find myself looking forward to any type of fun when I was going to get married to her sister?
Fuck, what exactly was I setting myself up for?
I was lost in my thoughts, still trying to adjust the zip of my pants as I walked quickly down the hall. My eyes lifted and my legs froze, stopping dead in their tracks as I met eye to eye with the last person I needed to see right now.
The mechanical countdown echoed through the smoking courtyard, each second ticking away like a hammer hitting an anvil. Sixty seconds was all we had before the secret of our entire existence was blasted across every human television station and internet feed on the planet. The veil that kept the wolf-born hidden from human weapons would be ripped apart forever."Conrick! Smash the console!" Darius roared, his calm demeanor instantly evaporating into pure Alpha panic.Conrick didn't hesitate. He swung his heavy boot into the side window of the armored SUV, shattering the glass, and reached inside to tear at the dashboard wires. He ripped out bundles of colored plastic and copper, his teeth bared as he slammed his fist into the blinking red screen. The glass cracked, but the automated voice kept counting down with cold, digital indifference."Transmission progress: forty percent," the machine voiced chimed. "Signal encryption locked. Internal backup battery active.""It's a hardwired sa
IRIS’S POV"Get away from him, Iris."My father’s voice was a frail, trembling thing compared to the thunderous roar still vibrating inside my own ribcage. Alpha Ronan stood at the very edge of the smoking courtyard, his hands trembling and his shoulders hunched deeply under the heavy weight of his dark woolen coat. He looked exactly like a man who had already buried his entire legacy in the dirt. He didn’t look like the ruthless tyrant who had locked my wolf away behind a wall of dark magic for two long decades. He looked small. He looked completely terrified.I didn't step back. My massive silver paws remained planted firmly on Jerome’s chest, the heavy weight of my shifted body pinning the rogue council commander into the sharp gravel. Every single breath I took filled my expanded senses with a rush of data I had never been allowed to process before. I could smell the sharp fear radiating off the surviving enforcers, the sour, bitter tang of my father’s deep shame, and the thick, h
DARIUS’S POV"Get back to the vehicles, Conrick."The command tore out of my throat as a low, rumbling growl that rattled the heavy air. My eyes never left Jerome. My wolf was screaming at the boundary of my skin, his claws scratching to break through the flesh, completely pushed out of control by the raw scent of Iris’s awakening. The atmosphere was thick with the scent of ozone and burning pine, but beneath it all was the sudden, intoxicating bloom of her true nature. It was vanilla mixed with white lightning, a primal, ancient power that had been buried under a spell for twenty years."You really think you can hold this line alone, rogue?" Jerome mocked, his voice booming over the rumble of his armored trucks. He took another step forward, his enforcers fanning out behind him in a perfect crescent moon formation, their silver-tipped blades catching the harsh glare of the headlights. "The Council of Alphas has already signed your execution order. Look at you, groveling in the dirt f
IRIS’S POV"Get in the car, Iris."Darius’s voice was a low, gravelly vibration that rattled straight through my bones. He stood by the open door of the black SUV, his large frame silhouetted against the smoldering ruins of my family estate. The morning mist of the pack lands was thick, heavy with the scent of wet pine, burnt timber, and the unmistakable, metallic tang of spilled blood.I didn't move. My fingers tightly gripped the edge of my torn dress, the emerald silk stained with alpine soot and the dark residue of the structural blast we had just survived. My skin was burning from the inside out. The savage, feral pulse of my newly awakened silver wolf was scratching at the surface, her golden light vibrating beneath my skin, desperate to break completely free of the broken remnants of my father's binding spell."We aren't running, Darius," I said, my voice deceptively quiet despite the storm raging in my chest. "Look at what they did. Look at what Jerome's faction did while we w
IRIS’S POV"Hold on," Darius said, his large hand instantly locking around mine as the floorboards of the nursery began to shake. "This is going to be a very loud closing statement."The world went violently white.The mountain air outside the nursery window didn't just shatter the glass; it ripped the entire panoramic frame out of the stone wall. The shockwave from the high-altitude blast threw us backward into the center of the room, the heavy hand-carved rocking horse splintering into a thousand pieces as the ceiling plaster rained down around our heads like gray snow. The silver laptop on the table went flying, its screen cracking down the center as the blue light of the network feed blinked out into pitch-black darkness."Iris!" Darius’s voice was a raw, primal roar through the mind-link, a desperate current of panic that vibrated straight through my ribs.Before I could even hit the floor, his massive frame was over me. He shielded my body with his broad shoulders, his heavy lea
IRIS’S POVThe silence that followed the storm was the most dangerous part. I sat on the edge of the antique bed, the silk blanket draped over my shoulders, watching Darius as he moved toward the laptop. My body felt heavy, flooded with a warmth that defied the sub-zero temperatures outside these stone walls, but my mind was already shifting back into the cold, calculated rhythm of the audit.Darius was right. Ivy was watching. She had wanted to see us broken, or perhaps she had wanted to see us turn on each other under the pressure of the countdown. Instead, she had witnessed a total refusal to acknowledge her power."She’s going to move the deadline," I said, my voice sounding steadier than I felt. I stood up, letting the blanket slip as I reached for my clothes. I didn't care about the cameras anymore. If Ivy wanted to look at the daughter she had abandoned, she would see a woman who was no longer afraid of the dark. "She won't wait for the thirty minutes to expire. Not after that.
