MasukChapter 152Thorne’s POV"You thought you could run from this?" I bent over her‚ pressing my chest against her back‚ my mouth right at her ear while I kept the same brutal pace. "From me? From what I do to you?""I wasn't running— oh fucckkk..." Her voice dissolved into a moan so sweet it made my cock twitch inside her. "Fuck me harder... please‚ harder..."I straightened up behind her‚ readjusted my grip on her hips‚ and gave her exactly what she asked for. Harder. Faster. Each thrust driving her hips into the edge of the desk‚ the glass surface fogging beneath her mouth from her rapid‚ broken breaths. Her moans turned into something continuous‚ a stream of sounds she couldn't control anymore‚ couldn't filter‚ couldn't hold back."Oh Thorne... oh god... yes yes yes... fucckkk...""Tell me who this pussy belongs to.""You..." She was barely coherent now‚ her body trembling from head to toe‚ her thighs shaking against the desk. "It's yours‚ Thorne... all yours... oh fuck I'm going to—"
Chapter 151Thorne’s POV"We'll see about that."I grabbed her again. Both hands on her face this time‚ fingers threading into her hair‚ pulling her mouth back to mine with a roughness that had nothing gentle about it. She fought it for about two seconds‚ her fists hitting my chest‚ her body twisting‚ a muffled sound of protest dying against my lips. Then her fingers stopped hitting and started gripping‚ twisting into the front of my shirt so hard the fabric strained at the seams‚ pulling me closer even as the rest of her body screamed that she was still furious.She bit my lower lip. Hard. I tasted blood.I growled against her mouth and bit her right back‚ catching her bottom lip between my teeth‚ tugging until she whimpered. Her nails raked down the front of my shirt‚ popping a button‚ then another. I walked her backward without breaking the kiss‚ my hands sliding from her face to her waist‚ gripping‚ steering‚ until the backs of her thighs hit the edge of my desk.I pulled back jus
Chapter 150Thorne’s POV"Because you won't tell me anything!" She cried. "I asked you last night‚ Thorne. I asked you directly what was going on‚ what you were hiding from me. You kissed me instead of answering. You told me not to worry. You told me you'd handle it. The same deflection‚ every single time. So yes‚ I went to someone who was actually willing to talk to me. Maybe if you'd been honest with me‚ I wouldn't have had to.""Honest?" I leaned toward her. "You climbed out of a window‚ Skye. You snuck past your sleeping mate‚ left a three-sentence note‚ and went to sit across from a man who has been trying to get between us since the day he showed up. Huh? What will you call that Skye if it's not betrayal!.""It's not betrayal to want answers about my own identity!""It is betrayal to go to Kael for them!"We stared at each other‚ both breathing hard‚ the air between us thick enough to choke on. I wanted to pull her to me and fuck her senseless in this moving car‚ but I just had
Chapter 149Thorne's POVI was already in the car when Reed called with the full report. Julia. A knife. My mate cornered in a locked café with a blade aimed at her throat.Fuck!Fuck!!That girl won’t be the death of me."Give me everything‚" I said.Reed didn't waste time. He told me everything. How Julia had followed Skye from the house. Entered through the back of the café. Locked the front door from the inside. Pulled a concealed pocket knife. Threatened to carve the mate mark off Skye's neck. Reed had broken her wrist‚ thrown her onto the sidewalk‚ secured Skye. “But no injuries sustained.” He said.No injuries sustained? As if that could calm me down."Where is she now?""Still inside the café. She's shaken but coherent. Do you want me to bring her to you?""No. Keep her there. I'm twelve minutes out."I hung up and leaned forward to the driver. "Faster."He didn't ask questions. The sedan surged forward‚ weaving through morning traffic‚ running a yellow light that was close
Chapter 148Skye's POVThen the front door exploded inward.The lock that had been clicked shut from the inside snapped clean off as the door was kicked in with so much force that it slammed against the wall and cracked the plaster. In the doorway stood a man I recognized immediately.Reed.He was across the room before Julia could even turn her head. His hand closed around her wrist‚ the one holding the knife‚ and he squeezed. The sound that followed was something I would never forget. A wet‚ grinding crunch‚ like stepping on gravel‚ except it was bone. Julia's wrist bone‚ snapping under the pressure of Reed's grip like a dry twig.Julia screamed. The knife clattered to the floor. Her legs buckled and she dropped to her knees‚ clutching her broken wrist to her chest‚ her face white with shock and pain. The scream dissolved into a high‚ keening wail that bounced off the café walls.Reed didn't even look at her. He kicked the knife away‚ sending it skittering across the tile until it h
Chapter 147Skye's POVIt was female‚ high and sharp‚ dripping with something venomous that I recognized before I even turned around.Julia.She stepped out of the hallway and into the main room of the café‚ blocking the path between me and the back exit. She was wearing a fitted black dress and heels that clicked against the tile floor with every step‚ and her dark hair was pulled back tight from her face in a way that made her features look even sharper than usual. Her makeup was flawless. Her posture was rigid. Her eyes were locked on me with an intensity that made my wolf flatten her ears and bare her teeth."Funny running into you here‚" Julia said. "Although I suppose it's not really running into you if I followed you from your sad little house‚ is it?""Julia‚ I don't have time for this.""Oh‚ you don't have time?" She laughed‚ though there was nothing funny about the sound. It was brittle‚ too high‚ slightly unhinged. "That's rich coming from the girl who snuck out at dawn to
Chapter 93Skye's POV"AHHHHHH!"The shriek ripped out of me as I stumbled backward‚ the leather journal shaking in my hands. My eyes were wide as I stared down at the pages‚ reading the same lines over and over again as if somehow the words would change.They didn't.I had been staying at Thorne's
Chapter 92Skye's POVHis hand slid up my spine and pressed gently between my shoulder blades‚ easing me forward until my palms were flat on the white linen. The plates and glasses shifted around my hands and I could feel the cool tablecloth against my forearms as I gripped the edge.He pushed my d
Chapter 88SKYE'S POV"What is it?" I asked."The truth is‚" Thorne said slowly‚ his eyes fixed on Ethan‚ "Ethan's the real monster. He is—""DO NOT SAY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW‚ THORNE!" Ethan roared‚ lunging forward."Oh‚ I clearly do know what I'm about to say!"Something broke loose behind Ethan's e
Chapter 86SKYE'S POV"Please let's not talk about this‚ Thorne."I stood up from the bath and winced. The warm water had helped a lot though‚ the soreness had reduced to a dull ache instead of the screaming pain from earlier. I could actually stand without my legs giving out which felt like progre
