LOGINSeraYvara's eyebrows shot up. I swallowed hard, trying to work out the details. "Deep in the forest," I said. "Where things die in winter and nobody asks.""Picked apart by beasts," Yvara added, her voice dry. "It should look like he fought whatever got him."I nodded. "But venom..." I trailed off, my gaze drifting to Amara. A bite was the surest way to kill, but... I glanced back at Yvara, at Fenris. "There can't be venom. Vane knows I keep a rogue."Yvara's gaze drifted to the silent girl who watched us from the hearth, then back to me. "Whatever you tell her," she said, "it has to be exact. Every piece."The memory of Torin's mangled body flashed through my mind, Yvara dragging him in by the collar, his arm gone. The old fury stirred within me once more, but I held my tongue, meeting Yvara's gaze steadily. I gave a single, sharp nod.Fenris groaned softly behind me. I glanced back to see him dropping his head onto the furs, eyes shut.I rose from the bed with the tunic in my hand,
SeraHeat flared over my skin and I tried to move, but my legs wouldn't obey. I was naked, dripping, half-drunk with climax. Beside me, Fenris lay still.I dragged a fur over myself and rolled to face the room. Yvara stood a few paces off, arms crossed, staring at the wall. She had walked in on worse."What?" Fenris said."Vane's kid made a scene in the hall," Yvara said."Rurik said Kael killed his girl," Yvara went on. "He tried getting Mina to go hunt him down."I tensed, fingers digging into the fur beneath me. Fenris just lay there, not reacting."Jace stopped him," Yvara continued.Fenris turned his head to look at me. "The pack thinks Kael did it?"Yvara nodded once. "They do now."Yvara's eyes slid to me, then back to Fenris. A muscle ticked in his jaw."Some of them are saying the Southerner killed her." Her voice was flat, matter-of-fact. "At least that's what Rurik caused. They want a target."I inhaled sharply through my nose. The bed suddenly felt too warm, too confining.
SeraFenris pressed the thick head of his cock against my entrance. I groaned at the blunt pressure, my slick flesh resisting even as I wanted him inside me so badly.His lips slanted over mine, swallowing my desperate sounds as his hips flexed, pushing in just a little. I gasped against his tongue, my pussy clamping tight around the first inch of him.He pulled back, then worked that inch deeper, stretching me unmercifully. I moaned into his mouth, my nails digging into his broad back.He kept pushing in, relentless and slow. The burn of his intrusion had me arching under him, my head falling back in a silent plea."Breathe, Sera," he growled, his voice strained with the effort of holding back.I sucked in a ragged breath, my chest heaving. He ground deeper, his thickness forcing me open, every inch was a battle.I whined and arched again, my legs wrapping tight around his hips to urge him on. "Don't stop," I gasped, "don't fucking stop."His body trembled against mine with the strai
SeraFenris shoved my skirt up to my waist, the fabric pooling around my hips. He sank to his knees before me, his calloused hands gripping my thighs. The waistband of my drawers pressed against my wet skin as he leaned in, his hot breath puffing against the damp fabric.I shuddered at the first touch of his tongue, the wetness seeping through the thin cloth. Then his teeth caught the waistband and he dragged my drawers down, down, down.The rough stubble of his jaw grazed my inner thighs as he pulled the sodden fabric lower. I moaned as the cool air kissed my exposed, dripping lips. My hips bucked forward, seeking his mouth.Fenris growled low in his throat, the rumble vibrating against my bare flesh. He looked up at me, his sinful lips curled into a smirk.Then his mouth was there, a breath from my weeping pussy. I held my breath, trembling with anticipation. My fingers tangled in his hair, urging him closer. The tip of his tongue flicked out to taste me, and then his mouth closed o
SeraI opened the door to our chamber, with Amara slipping past us, her silent footsteps carrying her quickly to her furs by the hearth.After we entered, Fenris kicked the door shut behind us. The laughter and shouts from the hall faded away, muffled now by the thick wood. My face was still hot from all the attention.Fenris crowded me back against the door, his big body pinning me. His mouth was at my neck, hot and demanding. I felt his hand slide up under my skirt, his calloused fingers brushing along my thigh."You promised me you would," he rumbled against my skin. "Said I could take them off with my tongue."I shuddered at the rough timbre of his voice, at the feel of those fingers. Cupping me, stroking, teasing. He groaned against my pulse."Still wet," he said. "Soaked."I laughed, breathless. My hands went to his chest, fingers curling into his tunic. I meant to push him away. I swallowed hard and asked, "What did Vidar say to you, at the table?"Fenris lifted his head, his e
MinaI glanced at Jace, who was watching Rurik's face with narrowed eyes. My hand tightened on my cup."The Luna is already handling the search," I said gently to Rurik. "She'll find him..."But he cut me off. "The fuck she will. You know Kael must answer for this. Please, Mina. Please."Rurik stayed crouched beside my bench, his eyes wild. "It's been three days, Mina. Nobody's found shit. The Luna isn't doing anything to catch him. We can go tonight, just the three of us. Nobody needs to know."I looked around the hall at the raucous feast. It was easy to ignore Rurik's words in the din of laughter and clinking mugs. I sighed and looked back down at him.But I didn't say yes.Rurik's face cracked. He stood abruptly, hands shaking at his sides, and leaned over me. "Come on, Mina. Three days. Kael's probably out of the territory by now. We have to move. Say yes, Mina. Please."His voice rose and a few people nearby turned to look.Jace leaned forward, his hand on my thigh. "Rurik, back
SeraNight fell fast, and with it, the temperature plummeted. We had three fires going, but the heat didn't seem to travel more than six inches past the flames. I sat on a log by the middle fire, pulling the wagon fur around my shoulders, shivering so hard my teeth were literally clicking together.
LyraShe ignored me. She dropped to her knees, her hands sliding down to the waistband of my trousers. She shoved her fingers inside the fabric, gripping my hips tight. With one sharp pull, she dragged the pants and my underwear down to my ankles. I stepped out of them, kicking my boots off in the
Lyra"Tell the girl to step into the room," he said."Leave her out of this," I said. My voice came out as a pathetic, raspy whisper. I cleared my throat, trying to find some spine. "She didn't do anything. It was my idea to come in here.""Tell her to step into the room," he said, his eyes going d
LyraThe voice didn't belong to Nadia. It didn't belong to me. It came from the metallic object resting directly behind my hip.Nadia froze. She pulled her mouth away from me and yanked her fingers out of my body. She stood up quickly, wiping her wet mouth with the back of her hand, her chest heavi
