*Trigger Warning: Sensitive content containing physical abuse and violence*Adrian’s POVMost of the memories were pretty much one and the same through her various ages. Her getting punished by her older rogue members violently for different reasons and stupid mistakes that don’t even prompt this extremely harsh treatment. Some of the memories had alpha Victor watching her suffer with a satisfied, cold look on his face while others were done by who ever was in charge of taking care of her during her younger years.I watched her get whipped in various places on her body with a belt, a thin tree branch, and a whip, beaten in a soul destroying degree, slapped, cut, and burned.I watched her starving for food when she was too young to shift or depend on herself to find anything edible and saw the assholes giving her tree leaves to eat on, rotten fruits from the trees, or horrifyingly, the dirt on the forest ground. Whenever she cried for something else or tried to deny what the rogue gave
Adrian’s POVThe moment that asshole Stefan started to whip her back per his alpha’s orders, I decided that I had enough of these pain filled memories.I muttered the Latin word Mia told me about to get her to stop the spell.As soon as she did and I came back to the living room, I put Rhea’s head gently against the small pillow and got off the sofa.“Should I wake her up, alpha?” Mia asked.“No, not yet…. Just…. Just give me a minute” I said out of breath as I headed towards the floor to ceiling glass wall and rested my palms against it, trying to catch my breath like I was running through a marathon in her head.My soul, my heart, everything in my body was screaming in pain in reaction to what I saw in there.I was left bleeding through every cut, hit, lash, and burn that was ever done to her as if it was inflicted on me as well. And I didn’t know if I could ever get past what they made her go through her entire life.I knew it must have been rough, but I just never imagined it bein
Rhea’s POV “May I kiss you, Rhea?” I stared at him in surprise, not able to form an answer right away as I let his request sink in. My lips started tingling in response right away, urging me to say yes, encouraging me to let them be kissed by him, to let myself explore this new aspect of our relationship. I have to admit, his reaction to what he saw in my memories took me completely by surprise. Every time I panicked about what he intended to do, he assured me continuously that nothing can change the way he feels about me. A part of me believed him, trusted that he would understand what happened in the past, and decide to forgive me anyway because he knows that I was forced to be like them. But another part of me; the part that was raised to be doubtful and fearful for as long as I can remember, the part that got rooted inside me due to the way I grew up, kept planting its poisonous doubts in me that I will never have someone standing by my side, not even my mate. Before I went to
Rhea’s POVOf course it’s craving him, I thought to myself.He’s easily becoming the blood to my body, the beat to my heart, and the essence to my soul.I cannot function without his touches anymore.But I was still left a little confused.“So it wants you to keep kissing me and the throbbing will stop then?” I asked softly.He chuckled but tried to compose himself when he saw me narrowing my eyes at him in reproach.He bit his lip before saying in amusement “No, it wants more than just kissing, it wants a relief, an orgasm”I raised my eyebrows.“You mean….you mean sex?” I chocked out the last word while my face burned in flames.He inspected my face for a minute thoughtfully before he said carefully “Kissing you Rhea, felt like a breath of life that you blew into me. It awakened every single cell in my body and made it scream your name. And I felt all the same things you felt. It’s our bodies’ natural response to want to go all the way. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about but the e
Rhea’s POV“I love how completely satisfying your body craves and responds to my touches” he said huskily as his hands continued to knead my breasts tenderly.His fingers started playing with my nipples while his lips trailed soft kisses all over my chest.He knew exactly what he was doing because the pleasure was increasing the more his fingers played with my stiff nipples.I moaned so softly as I basked in the great feeling he was erupting inside me.I gasped when his mouth closed on one of my nipples and screamed his name when his tongue started licking it hungrily.The intense euphoria made my eyes close and my mouth release a string of moans I could not hold back or control.I was literally in heaven under him and I wanted to stay in this special place forever.He shifted to my other nipple as he sucked on it so fervently, making desire explode inside me with a more stronger intensity.I was writing with a blinding pleasure and it was driving me crazy but no part of me wanted him
Adrian’s POV“Appreciate the gift then, and let me focus on my task with no distractions” she ordered firmly despite fighting a smile to appear strict.I must say it thrilled me to have her be so confident and trustful with me, it warmed my heart to no end.“Yes, ma’am” I said gently with a soft smile tugging on my lips.She went to work right away as she helped me get rid of my shirt. I thought she would stop at that initially, but I found her tugging on my jeans and boxer and a second later, I helped her remove them by lifting my body upwards to make it easier on her.My erection sprang free, tall and already aroused enough by the sweetness I dived through and licked from the most beautiful, sexy pussy I’ve ever laid eyes on and ate a few minutes ago.Her eyes roamed all over my body hungrily. The look made my body tingle in response.“You’re so beautiful, Adrian. I could admire you for hours and never get bored or tired from gazing at you” she said in a heavy voice filled with emot
Adrian’s POVWhen we broke our kiss, she buried her face against my neck and hugged me to her tightly, overwhelmed with emotions because of our very first amazing experience together.Warmth spread inside me and I found myself holding her firmly, positioning her over my lap as I laid my back against the headboard of my bed, and burying my face against her neck as well.We stayed like this for a long time, neither of us speaking. We needed this intimate closure to seal our souls together after everything we learned today, whether it was the prophecy we saw or the memories I witnessed. We needed this soul mending moment to come to terms with the fact that we are completely moving on together into a place more open and guaranteed. She finally believed that nothing she did in the past made her a monster, be it in my eyes or in her own.The pain filled memories of her miserable life that I saw truly killed me. I can never forget those memories or the way she was deeply suffering in them, b
Adrian’s POV“Tell me” I said softly as anticipation built inside me while I waited for her to say what I hoped she would say.She looked me in the eyes with so much emotion, I felt it all the way to the core of my soul, and I was confident then that she was about to say it.“I love you so much, Adrian. I love you so much it’s surging inside me, healing every little crack, binding every fracture, and killing all of my demons. Loving you made me whole the way I’ve never been, the way I thought I would never be” she said so strongly.I swear it felt like she just gave me the greatest, ultimate gift, her love was the greatest thing she could ever give to me and I felt so happy she said it first. That I managed to change her fear and hatred of me to love, passion, and desire in the span of a few days, that I made her feel all those feelings for me to the point she could not hold it back any longer, it felt so fucking exquisite no word can describe it properly.“I can’t express how heartwa
