KAIRAMy blood turned cold, and I had to remind myself how to breathe as I stared at the warrior before me. “It's a great honor to meet you,” I managed, summoning every ounce of my strength to refrain my hand from shaking as I extended it.Korad's golden eyes blazed, a faint smirk pulling at his lips. “I can assure you…” His large hand took mine, squeezing it gently. “The pleasure is all mine.”Dearon let out a low growl, and Korad's brows inched up. He released my hand in an instant and burst into laughter. “I misunderstood, I guess.” His eyes flickered between him and me. “I thought you said this lovely she-wolf is your advisor.”“She is,” Dearon said, locking his eyes on the warrior. “But she's also… more.”Korad's expression filled with unhidden shock. He looked at Torin then, as if needing his confirmation. When Torin nodded, Korad laughed again, this time even louder. Rafe snorted, and even Nazo and Torin apparently found Korad's reaction amusing. Was I the only one who found th
DEARONThe scent of Kaira's arousal saturated the air. The wild strawberries teased my senses with every breath. Watching her writhe in pleasure could have easily become my addiction. The noises she made formed the most beautiful symphony ever created. I craved her. I craved every inch of her, and I wouldn't stop until her very soul bore my mark.She visibly swallowed as I pulled down my underpants, releasing my painfully hard cock. I could see the tension crawling onto her beautiful face, the unease in her eyes. I leaned over her and kissed her rosy lips. “I won't hurt you,” I whispered. “I could never hurt you.”A gold gleam brightened her green irises. “I know,” she breathed, her hand reaching out to touch my face. “I trust you.” I knew she did… or she wanted to, even if a sliver of fear rang in her tone.She licked her lips, and my dick strained even harder. I muttered a curse. Everything about her was driving me insane, but I could come to love that sweet insanity she triggered. I
“What?!” I jerked to my feet violently enough to lose my balance. My body swayed to the side, making me lean over and stumble toward the edge of the board—“Careful.” Dearon grabbed my hand, pulling me toward him.I might have regained my footing, but I was far from my inner balance. I felt as if the little world inside my mind had come crumbling down. All my beliefs—everything I had been fighting for—had turned into ashes, and Dearon's question?! How was I supposed to let him mark me?! He didn't even know who I was. If he knew…“I can't,” I choked out, pushing him away and walking toward the shore.“Kaira, wait!” He rushed after me, but I quickened my pace, desperate to put more distance between us. That, of course, didn't work. “Wait!” he growled, leaping in front of me to block my way.I halted, digging my heels into the ground. Only then did I realize I'd left my boots on the pier. Well… shit. Swallowing my flusteredness, I raised my head to face him. “You want to exchange a polit
“Where are we going?” A nervous laugh slipped through my lips as Dearon led me away from the inn.“There's an old pier nearby,” Dearon said. “A good place to talk.”I studied his profile illuminated in the silver glow. “Sounds like your story needs special surroundings to be told…”“It does.” He looked over his shoulder, a sliver of pain cutting his soft smile. “I've never told this story to anyone.”My breath hitched. Truthfully, I wanted to hear it, perhaps needed to hear it. I had been told many things over the years I'd spent in Sarendonia. I had believed the stories I had been told, yet lately I had found that things I had taught seemed to skip quite a few uncomfortable details. I would have lied had I not told that this fact had raised my fears and suspicions. What if the ideals I had fought for on battlefields were no more than a lie?An old pier came into view, and Dearon carefully led me through half-rotten boards. With dark water surrounding us from left and right, Dearon sa
I could only guess, but getting the best rooms and food in every town must have been one of the perks of being the Alpha and the future king of Korendorr. Anyway, that was what had happened as soon as we appeared in Evenloor.The news of our arrival must have travelled with the wind because the town's elder, along with the tavern owner, the inn's owner, and the chief of the guards, rushed to welcome us before we even reached the center.After receiving an awkwardly official greeting, we'd been escorted to the finest rooms in the inn. Mine had a separate bath chamber and a small balcony overlooking the lake. It felt strange to end up in such luxuries after days of sleeping in tents or caves, but I sure as three hells wouldn't call that change unwelcome.A knock on the door sounded, and I rushed to open it. “Lady Kaira, I'm here to serve you,” said a blue-eyed blonde girl standing in the corridor. She couldn't be more than sixteen years old, yet she was dressed in a maid's uniform and c
KAIRAI was standing in front of a large cave, staring at its gloomy entrance. It was the rogues' lair that Nazo had mentioned. From his description, I had expected it to be bad, but this was far worse than I'd imagined.I stepped closer to a few rocks lying beside the entrance. They were coated with a thick, dark substance that stank worse than rotten meat, but it couldn't even compare to the stench coming from the inside of the cave.“I'm gonna throw up,” Rafe groaned, clamping his hand over his mouth.“Trust me,” Nazo grunted. “Be grateful you don't feel that smell as well as I do. Besides, it gets worse once you get in.” He jerked his chin, pointing at the cave.Next to me, Dearon cautiously examined our surroundings. “Rafe, stay outside. Throw up if you have to. The rest is coming with me,” he said before lighting his torch and striding into the cave.Torin and I exchanged looks and followed him. Something was utterly wrong with this place; I could feel it with every breath, almo
DEARONI sat in the tent studying the maps and old messages, marking the potential rogue lairs. Drawing a deep breath, I grabbed a pen and circled the area about two miles from our current camp. It was supposed to be the largest lair in the eastern part of my kingdom—one of the greatest threats to the eastern villages. Countless omegas from those villages had already lived in constant terror, fearing that one day, the Eudoris armies might attack. The least we could do was eliminate the rogues plundering their territories…I raked my fingers through my hair and leaned back against the tent's pole. Deep inside, I knew I was stalling, delaying the inevitable. I could have sent one of the newly trained squads of warriors to handle the rogues, but I had chosen to do it myself instead. I'd told myself it had been a better and safer option. The rogues were savage and unpredictable, and our new squads were… well… new and certainly inexperienced. The pathetic truth, however, was that I had oth
KAIRAI stared at the old, scarred warrior, struggling to comprehend what he said. I had never heard about that Darcio. If the council members wanted him to take over Dearon's position, that must have meant he, too, was from the alpha bloodline—another Conaran, perhaps? But why would they need to look for him? Shouldn't the entire Korendorr's royal family live in Oryndale?My gaze shifted to Dearon, and I immediately felt the rage radiating from him. His claws came out and his eyes flared as he growled, “They must have lost their fucking minds to look for Darcio!”Rafe and Nazo joined Torin's side, pure dread in their eyes. Torin stepped forward, his hands balling. “Darcio was exiled by Alpha Alastor himself!” he spat. “No council member has the right to bring him back to Korendorr!”Morvan raised his hands in surrender, but I didn't miss the faint smirk that crossed his lips. “That is why Alpha needs to return at once,” he said before fixing his eyes on Dearon. “I promise you have my
DEARONIf I'd had a list of people I seriously did not want to see at that moment, Morvan would have been on fucking top of it. He had a unique ability to trigger my most violent urges on a usual day, and now, my blood had turned into molten lava even before I had seen his scarred face.“How did Morvan and others find us here?” Kaira asked as she nervously combed her hair with her fingers.I dragged my teeth over my lower lip. She was back in her tunic, and I already missed the sight of her bare, feverish, ready for me. The more I tasted her, the more I craved her. She was like the finest wine I had ever drunk, and I would have thanked the gods if I'd never sobered up from her.I met Kaira's confused stare. Only then did I realize I hadn't answered her question. “I wouldn't be surprised if he had his own spies near the Ardens Mountains or somewhere close to Alletia,” I said. “Not to mention, it was not a secret where we were heading.”“I guess you're right,” she murmured, putting on he
