~AURORA~

"No," I whispered as my fingers twisted nervously in my wedding gown. "We never. . .we never had sex. If that's what you're asking."

Cassian leaned back a little but his piercing gaze never left my face. The firelight from nearby danced across his features, casting shadows that only made him look more dangerous. . .more untamed.

A slow, deliberate breath escaped him as he studied me like a predator assessing its prey.

"But you have done other things?" His voice was low, rough, filled

    ~AURORA~I stared at Vincent, unable to form any words from the shock of his offer. He was actually asking me if I wanted to escape this marriage? A bitter laugh almost escaped my mouth. Was Cassian's plan to make him jealous already working better than either of us had anticipated?He was the one who'd discarded me like I meant absolutely nothing to him. Not once did he try to get me out of this marriage and he'd known about it for years. Yet, he's suddenly interested in freeing me from Cassian after getting publicly humiliated by him?Coincidence? I did not think so."Why are you concerned?" I demand, not hiding my true anger from him. "You are now engaged to Seraphina. You made your choice. The wedding is in the near future. You have no reason worrying about my life."Vincent's eyes narrowed, a flash of raw pain crossing his features. "Do you really expect me to just forget that we are mates, Aurora? I can't simply pretend you mean nothing to me. Do you have any idea how much it h

    ~AURORA~This was the first time Seraphina and her mother had ever greeted me with anything resembling warmth, and I wasn't foolish enough to believe it was genuine. "Vincent is here as well," Seraphina announced sweetly, her eyes gleaming with malicious delight as she waited for my reaction. “He wasn't keen on coming but I insisted that he needed to.”I felt the air leave my lungs. I couldn't believe he had actually come. Especially after the humiliating defeat he had suffered against Cassian only a few days ago. The memory of that duel still lingered in the villages, rumors were still spreading like crazy. "Vincent?" Cassian's deep voice says behind me, filled with dark amusement. "Come to get his ass whipped again?"Seraphina and Lady Elowen stiffened instantly, their perfect postures turning rigid. Seraphina forced a light laugh that didn't reach her eyes. "I think it was merely luck on your side that day."Zerath, standing a step behind her like a guard waiting to strike, spok

    ~AURORA~"Your family will be here today."Cassian's voice cut through the quiet morning. I stiffened where I stood, the cup in my hand suddenly feeling far too fragile. The words immediately worsen my mood.He watched me closely, leaning against the kitchen counter with casual grace, an apple held loosely in his long fingers. He took a single bite between his teeth as he studied my reaction."I thought you would have been happier to hear this," he said, his brow furrowing slightly.Oh no. I forgot he was not aware of my real feelings towards the Varkas family.I forced my lips into what I hoped was a convincing smile, though my pulse pounded in my ears. If he sensed even a glimmer of the truth, that my so-called family had treated me worse than the lowliest servant back home, everything would be ruined. The Varkas would punish me for exposing their carefully crafted plan. The council might intervene and tear me away from here. . .from him.The idea of losing this new life with Cass

    ~CASSIAN~Fuck me.I'd spent the last half hour in the shower with my fist wrapped tight around my aching cock, pumping furiously, chasing a release that refused to come. The bastard wouldn't behave. It throbbed in my grip, heavy and hard, like it had a mind of its own. And right now, that mind was fixed on one person only.Her.The Varkas Princess. My wife.Aurora Thorne. . .since I'd given her my last name. I slammed my palm against the wall, water leaking down my shoulders as I growled through clenched teeth. "Come on, you motherfucker."Nothing. Just that suffocating, pulsing heat. It wanted her soft mouth, her delicate hands, the sweet scent of her skin. It wanted the enemy.And I couldn't stand it.Her family had murdered my mother in cold blood. That single fact should have been enough to kill any flicker of desire. I had sworn an oath on my mother's grave: I would destroy the entire Varkas bloodline. I would make them bleed, make them suffer, make them regret the day they ev

    ~SERAPHINA~Every candle flame in the room seemed to flicker with irritation, mirroring the frustration inside my chest. I still couldn't believe what I had witnessed today. Vincent—my Vincent, had lost. Not just lost, but been thoroughly, humiliatingly defeated in front of the entire arena by Aurora's husband. Aurora's husband! The same man that hated our kind and was responsible for many deaths in our Kingdom. The memory replayed in my mind like a nightmare I couldn't wake from: the crowd's roar, the smug satisfaction on Aurora's face, and worst of all, the pitying glances thrown my way from the front row where I had been seated like some fool.In that moment, I'd regretted even being present for the duel. I should have stayed home and gotten a facial instead.He was supposed to be better than this. He was my fiancé. The man I had chosen because everyone else wanted him, especially Aurora. And yet he had let that Reaper brute beat him into the ground while I sat there, ring glint

    ~AURORA~My heart pounded wildly in my chest as Cassian's strong body pressed close, his chest brushing against mine with every subtle movement in the water. His finger traced lazy, deliberate circles around my nipple through the thin, wet fabric of my bikini top. The material was almost useless now, every slow rotation sent electric sparks straight down between my thighs, making the sensitive spot tighten and ache with need.I could hardly breathe."You need to be confident," Cassian murmured, his voice low.His breath was warm over my wet skin. "Know that you possess the power to make him go to his knees for you, Aurora. To beg. To lose control."I tried to focus on his words, this was supposed to be a lesson in seduction, a way to build my confidence so I could somehow convince Vincent to fight for us. But how could I concentrate when Cassian's touch was taking me apart so completely? His free hand slid to my other breast, mirroring the teasing motion, and I bit my lip hard to s
