LOGINHe started gently, his tongue swirling in slow, agonizingly precise circles over my most sensitive nerve endings. He lapped at my slick wetness, savoring the taste of me like I was a delicacy he had been starving for centuries to consume.
He sucked the swollen bud between his lips, flicking it gently while his fangs grazed my sensitive folds just enough to send sparks shooting up my spine.
“Oh… fuck…” The moan slipped out before I could stop it.
I hated it. I hated how good it felt. I hated that after everything — after he sat on that throne and let them decide my fate like I was nothing — my body was still betraying me.
He was devouring me. Deeply, passionately, and with an aggressive hunger that bordered on violence.
Every time his tongue flicked, every time his lips pulled at my swollen flesh, a shockwave of pure, unadulterated ecstasy shot straight up my spine. My thighs began to jitter uncontrollably. The muscles in my calves cramped as I pointed my toes, my entire body winding tighter and tighter like a coiled spring.
My wolf was howling, a wild, feral song of absolute worship. For three years, Kaelen had barely touched me, treating my body like a defective burden. And now, the most powerful predator on the continent was on his knees, burying his face in my wetness, drinking my pleasure like it was the only thing keeping him alive.
He slid two thick fingers inside me, pushing deep into my slick, tight canal, perfectly matching the frantic, desperate rhythm of his tongue. He was stretching me, filling me, consuming me from the inside out.
Riven pulled back just enough to look up at me, his lips shiny with my arousal. “Still want me to leave, little bird?” he asked, voice husky.
I opened my mouth. Nothing came out except a shaky breath.
He smiled knowingly and dove back in.
This time he was deeper. More passionate. His tongue pushed inside me, stroking my walls while his nose rubbed against my clit. He ate me like a man savoring his favorite meal. Every lick, every suckle sent electricity racing through my veins. The bond between us crackled and sparked, my wolf howling inside my chest, pressing desperately against my ribs to reach his.
My hand found his hair without thinking. My fingers curled into the long, dark strands as my hips started rolling against his mouth.
I was losing.
My thighs began to jitter uncontrollably. Soft, desperate moans kept escaping my lips no matter how hard I bit them.
I wanted more.
Riven growled against my pussy, the vibration making my eyes roll back. He pulled my thighs even closer to his face, burying himself deeper, sucking harder, devouring me with a passion that felt almost worshipful.
My back arched off the bed. I was so close. So fucking close.
The orgasm was building like a tidal wave. It was massive, heavy, and blinding. I could feel the pressure behind my eyes. I was right there. I was teetering right on the terrifying, beautiful edge of the drop.
"I'm going to.." I cried out, my hips bucking wildly against his mouth. "Riven, I'm coming, I'm.."
He stopped. Instantly!
He pulled his fingers out with a wet pop and lifted his mouth away from my cunt.
The sudden absence of his heat, the abrupt, violent cessation of the friction, was physically agonizing. It felt like being dropped into an ice bath right in the middle of a fever.
I let out a broken, frustrated whine, my hips involuntarily jerking upward, blindly chasing his mouth.
Riven slowly got to his feet. He wiped the back of his massive hand across his mouth, leaving a faint, glistening smear of my wetness across his scarred jaw. His chest heaved, his golden eyes completely dilated, black with unsated lust.
He stood at the edge of the bed, looking down at me.
I was a mess. A complete, shameful ruin. I was lying spread-eagle, my tunic shoved up, my chest heaving, my thighs vibrating uncontrollably from the interrupted climax.
Riven tilted his head, that dark, wicked smile returning to his lips.
“Tell me, little dove…” he said, his voice rough and low. “Do you still want me to leave?”
I was shaking. My pussy was aching. My wolf was screaming inside me.
I hated him.
I needed him.
My voice came out small, broken, and shameless. “…No. Please dont..”
Riven’s grin spread slowly across his face, ear to ear… wide, victorious, and dangerously pleased.
He leaned over me, caging me in with his powerful arms. “Good girl,” he murmured. “But you’re going to have to beg harder than that.”
“You were warned, little bird.”
The voice cracked through the dark like a whip. A guard stepped out from the side corridor, spear already lowered, blocking the way completely. The tip glinted in the torchlight.“Identify yourself or get diced in half right now!”I had the veil pulled low over my face. It made it hard to see clearly in the dim light, and apparently it made it hard for him to recognize me too. Good. I straightened up, letting the bag hang at my side like it was nothing."Kill the Lycan King's mate?" I asked, my voice dropping into an eerily calm, melodic tone. "Kill Riven's wife in the middle of his own fortress? Oh, man. You seem to have a rather creative death wish upon yourself. And upon your entire bloodline." The guard’s eyes went wide. His spear wavered. He took a half-step back, then another, the weapon drooping."My... my Queen," the guard stammered, his voice cracking with absolute panic. He bowed his head so low his chin practically touched his chest. He was physically shaking. "Please... p
I zipped up the last bit of the small bag as quietly as I could. My hands were steady even though my heart was hammering against my ribs. I didn’t have much anyway. The Northern Wastes had taught me that a long time ago. You learned to move light or you didn’t move at all. A couple of changes of clothes, a small knife, some dried meat I’d stolen from the kitchens earlier. That was it. Enough to get me and Mael out of here and into the trees.I slowly let go of the zipper.I eased the bag off the vanity, careful not to let the brass buckles clink against the stone.I tiptoed toward the door, every step careful, testing the floorboards with the ball of my foot before I put weight down. The fire had burned low, casting long shadows across the room. Riven was still on the bed behind me, breathing deep and even. I was done. Nothing was stopping me this time. Not the High Council, not Kaelen, and definitely not the arrogant warlord sleeping twenty feet away. Not the memory of his hands or h
Tears of sheer, human humiliation leaked from the corners of my eyes, rolling down my temples into my hair. I was trapped. I was listening to my own mouth spout the most filthy, submissive, degrading pleas, begging a man who had just sold me out to a council of warlords.Riven’s golden eyes flared with absolute, victorious triumph.He smiled. A dark, devastating grin that showed the sharp points of his fangs."Good girl," he growled.He didn't make me wait another second. Riven crashed his mouth down onto mine, kissing me with a passionate, bruising violence that stole the very oxygen from my lungs. His tongue invaded my mouth, tasting of salt and dominance, sweeping over my teeth and tangling with my own in a ruthless, consuming rhythm.At the exact same time, his hand moved between our bodies. He found my slick, swollen cunt and slipped a thick finger right past my entrance.I whimpered uncontrollably into his mouth, the sound vibrating between our connected lips. He began to circle
My chest heaved, my breath coming in jagged, shallow gasps that tore at my throat. I was sitting there, completely exposed on his massive mattress, drowning in my own wetness. My thighs were trembling, my core throbbing with a hollow, agonizing ache that demanded to be filled. I was so incredibly, shamefully horny it felt like a fever burning under my skin. I was ready to be fucked. I was practically vibrating with the need for it.But Riven had spoken.‘You're going to have to beg harder than that.’I gritted my teeth, my jaw locking so tight the muscle fluttered. No. I had sworn to myself. I had made a silent, blood-bound promise the day Kaelen threw me into that freezing mud. I thought I had learned my lesson. I thought I had built a fortress around my pride, vowing that no man would ever control me again. No man would ever dictate my worth, tell me what to do, or reduce me to a weeping, pleading mess on a mattress.Not Kaelen. And definitely not the Lycan King.
He started gently, his tongue swirling in slow, agonizingly precise circles over my most sensitive nerve endings. He lapped at my slick wetness, savoring the taste of me like I was a delicacy he had been starving for centuries to consume. He sucked the swollen bud between his lips, flicking it gently while his fangs grazed my sensitive folds just enough to send sparks shooting up my spine.“Oh… fuck…” The moan slipped out before I could stop it.I hated it.

I was still trembling when Riven carried me to the bed.He laid me down like I was something fragile, even though his eyes said otherwise. The heavy furs dipped under my weight as he stepped back, towering over me. The firelight painted every inch of him in gold and shadow.Gods… he was beautiful in the worst way.His shirt was already gone, tossed somewhere on the floor. Eight ripped abs etched into his torso like they’d been carved by the Moon Goddess herself. Not six. Eight. Hard, defined lines that flexed with every breath. His skin was scarred in places — old battles, old wars — but it only made him look more dangerous. More real. He reached up, his thick fingers catching the leather strap holding his hair back. He snapped it, letting the long, dark, sweat-dampened strands fall around his broad shoulders like a heavy black waterfall. He looked wild. Ancient. Utterly untamed. I hated how my mouth went dry.“Spread,” he commanded, voice low and rough.I clenched my jaw, trying to
The heavy, midnight-blue silk dress tore down the seam as I violently yanked it off my shoulders.I didn't care that it was spun from the King’s personal treasury. I didn't care that it was worth more than Kaelen’s entire packhouse. To me, it was just another collar. I kicked the pooled fabric away
A shocked, breathless gasp rippled through the assembly. But not a fuck did I give!"All you Alphas are nothing but heartless fuckers!" I screamed, spinning in a circle to glare up at the tiered benches, clutching Mael tightly to my chest with one arm. "You have no sympathy for a mother and a child
"I guess her fate has been decided then."The words left Riven’s mouth quietly, but in the dead silence of the cavernous hall, they rang like the tolling of an execution bell.He didn't look at me. He kept his golden eyes fixed on the dark stone wall above Kaelen’s head. "If this is what needs to b
My breath hitched. He was leaning back, his arms crossed over his chest, his silver-grey eyes fixed directly on me. And he was smiling.It wasn't a loud smile. It was a subtle, victorious smirk. A testament to his absolute triumph. It was a look that said: See? I told you. You are nothing. You will
