LOGINThe previous day, back in the Lycan Kingdom…~~~The corridor falls dead silent as Caroline’s hand drops limp onto the floor.Darius freezes, his chest heaving as the blood drains from his face. The violent rage that possesses him vanishes into thin air, replaced by an overwhelming, suffocating panic.“Caroline?” Darius’s voice cracks as he throws himself to his knees beside her. He gathers her into his arms, his hands trembling as he cradles her face.Her skin is scalding to the touch, slick with a sudden layer of sweat, and she is completely unresponsive, her breathing coming in shallow, frantic gasps as her body twitches against him.Beta Hunter scrambles forward, his face tight with concern as he takes in the strange, intoxicating scent radiating off Caroline, so intoxicating that his wolf is on edge.“My king... could she be in heat?” Hunter stammers, his eyes dropping briefly to Caroline before darting away out of respect.“No, that's not it,” Darius says, his voice laced with a
Lucinda’s wolf roars in pure rage. She raises her large front paw, sharp claws flashing in the sunlight as she swings right toward Britney's face.Britney flinches, eyes wide, shielding her head with her hands, unable to run on her weak, trembling legs.Before the claws can touch her, Cole moves in a blur. He steps right in front of Britney, taking the full threat onto himself. His dark eyes flash into a deep, terrifying crimson glow, looking furious.With lightning speed, he reaches out his bare hand and catches the massive wolf right by her thick neck.The wolf gasps for air in his grip, thrashing. Cole growls low in his chest, his muscular arm flexing as he lifts the wolf and throws her away with immense power.The wolf flies through the air and crashes hard onto the pavement, sliding several feet across the gravel before coming to a stop.“Attacking my defenseless mate, right in front of me! You have a death wish!” Cole shouts, his deep voice booming across the hospital driveway l
Before Luna Adelaide can even process the shock of being struck, her face turns dark with rage. Her hand flies back through the air with terrifying speed.SLAP! SLAP!The two sharp blows hit Britney's face one right after the other, the force making her head snap to the side, her skin burning bright red as her ears ring from the loud noise.“As expected of a daughter of a whore,” Luna Adelaide spits out, her voice dripping with pure venom.She reaches into her coat and pulls out a check. She looks down at Britney with disgust, as if she were looking at dirt on her shoes.“Take this and disappear,” Adelaide commands. “My son is already engaged. He marries Princess Lucinda in two weeks. I will never let some lowly daughter of a rogue found in the woods marry my son. You are not fit to even be his whore. Two million dollars is more than enough to help you leave and live a better life far away from here.”Britney stands frozen.Her mind reels as the words hit her like heavy rocks crashing
The car pulls up to the Crescent Moon pack house, the engine humming low before coming to a stop.Cole steps out, walks around to the passenger side, and gently helps Britney out.He keeps one strong arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close to his as they step inside.He leads her past the grand main hall and takes her up the wide stairs, going all the way to the top floor.The hallway up here is quiet and bright. Cole opens a large wooden door, revealing a luxurious sunlit room furnished with everything in Britney's favorite color.Soft blankets cover the large bed, and a warm fire crackles gently in the stone fireplace, velvet sofas, curtains, desk, vanity.“I had this room prepared for you, Bri,” Cole says softly, looking into her eyes. “Take your time. Get bathed, get dressed, and come downstairs when you are ready.”Britney smiles at him and nods softly. Her heart feels warm and light in her chest.‘When I go downstairs, I will tell him everything,’ she thinks to herself.
“Cole, it's… too big.”Cole's lips curl wickedly as he growls.“Mine.”Then he thrust himself to the hilt.“Ahhh!” Tears of both pain and pleasure escape Britney's eyes.She wants more.Cole grunts, muttering under his breath. Fuck, she's so tight, so hot, clenching around him, and he has to stop, has to breathe, has to remember his own name.“Fuck, Bri. You feel like heaven.”“Move,” she begs. “Please, Cole. Move.”He moves.Slow at first.Deep, worshipful strokes that drag a moan from Britney's throat with every thrust.His mouth alternates between her breasts, his tongue circling one nipple, then the other, until she's arching off the furs, crying his name.“Whose tits are these?” he growls against her skin.“Yours.”“Whose pussy is this?”“Yours, Cole. All yours.”“Good girl.” He drives deeper, harder, the cot groaning beneath them. “I'm the only one who'll ever touch you again. The only one who'll ever be inside you. Say it.”“Only you. Only you, Cole.”The words break him.He ta
The stream runs cold under the moonlight.Cole sets Britney on the bank, she sways, and he holds her close as she trembles, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps.The fever is still eating her from the inside.Cole reaches for her dress, and he begins to strip her.Soon, she stands bare before him, the moonlight shining on her pale skin, bruises blooming on her hips where Draco gripped her. A cut splits her collarbone. Her nipples are tight against the cool night air.“Look what he did to you.” His voice is a blade. Low. Dark. Possessive.His thumb catches the blood slipping from her nose and wipes it away. “I'll kill him for this. Slowly.”Britney doesn't hear him. She presses her hot body against his chest, her arms locking around his torso.“Please,” she begs, her mouth brushing his jaw. “Please, Cole. It's so hot. I can't—”“I know.” He lifts her into his arms and carries her into the water.The water swirls around his thighs, his hips.The moment he lowers her, the cold shocks
“It drives you nuts?” Angel repeats in disbelief. “What about me? Cassian. How I feel? Five fucking years! Tell me you never touched Melinda!” “I never touched her,” I state, my voice raw. “Not her, not anyone else.” She breaks into a broken laugh, her eyes turning bloodshot with tears she refus
“Cassian!” I scream, pounding my fist against the door. “You motherfucker! Open the damn door!” I stop when the woman’s cries stop abruptly and position my ear against the door; that's when I hear the sound of water running, an indication that they are in the bathroom. “Cassian, open the door.” “
I freeze.“Uncle? Who is Uncle?” I ask Sophie.“Handsome uncle who bought me tasty foods, chocolates, ice cream, and candies.”I smile sadly, watching her list the items with her small fingers. She's talking about Cassian.My heart gives a painful thud against my ribs.Did something really happen t
Angela [Blair]:~~~I'm not the curious type, but the entire evening my mood feels heavy. It hit me so hard that a tray of muffins dropped right out of my hands in the kitchen.My fingers had trembled uncontrollably, spasms of a fear I couldn't name.Did something happen to him?The thought intrude
