LOGINCole’s eyebrows pull together in a frown.“Three days?”“Three days,” Dr. Evelyn repeats, refusing to back down. “No exceptions. Her human body needs time to repair itself. If you touch her roughly or attempt any physical intimacy before then, you risk causing severe internal damage and prolonging her recovery. Do I make myself clear, Alpha Cole?”Cole stares at the paper in his hand, his heart twisting with a mix of possessiveness and remorse.He looks down at Britney, seeing the exhaustion etched into her features, the pale shade of her skin, and the faint purple shadows beneath her eyes.“Three days,” Cole grunts through gritted teeth, giving a single, firm nod. “She rests.”Without waiting another moment, Cole bends down and slides one arm beneath Britney’s knees and the other around her upper back. He scoops her into his arms in one fluid movement, pulling her against his chest.Britney gasps softly, resting her cheek against his collarbone.“Cole... I can walk...”“You are not t
“It's alright; we have forever to make up for it,” Cole says, and Britney nods, smiling as she wipes her face, and answers.“Yes, we do.”Cole carries her through the double doors of the pack’s hospital, his long, powerful strides echoing off the polished marble floors.The nurses and junior doctors who had been watching the fallout between the alpha and his mother scattered instantly.They bow their heads in respect as their alpha storms past them. They all can feel his protective aura rolls off him in suffocating waves, an overwhelming wall of authority that warns everyone to keep their distance from the little woman in his arms.Britney shyly buries her pale face into the crook of Cole’s neck, her hand clutching the fabric of his shirt, the other around his neck.Her tiny body trembles against his, suddenly feeling drained from the intense confrontation.~~~Cole pushes open the door to a private ward, stepping inside and moving straight towards the examination bed, and carefully l
They break apart from the kiss, Caroline breathing heavily as she leans her chin against Darius' broad chest.Darius holds her close, placing a soft, lingering kiss on top of her head.Suddenly, Caroline feels the weight behind her vanish and she asks Darius.“My wings... are they gone?" she asks softly.“Yes,” Darius murmurs, pressing another kiss onto her forehead. “The fever has broken for now. How do you feel?”“Exhausted,” Caroline admits, letting out a small, tired sigh as she rests her head over his beating heart. "But... the dark fog is gone." She pauses, her fingers gently tracing the faint scars on his chest. “I'm sorry, Darius. I'm sorry for pushing you, for letting my anger make me doubt you.”Darius shakes his head, his jaw tightening slightly with fury toward the real perpetrator.“Don't ever apologize for protecting your heart,” Darius says firmly, looking down into her eyes. “Valerie set a trap, and I was reckless to leave my guard down. But I promise you, Caroline, sh
“Caroline?” Darius's voice is hoarse, laced with raw awe. “You have… wings.”Caroline opens her mouth, but her body goes limp as she collapses against Darius's chest, her skin glowing and burning to the touch. Her chest heaves with fast, uneven breaths.Darius looks down at her, his hand sliding up to wrap tightly around her as his arm drapes over her waist, pulling her flush against him.His fingers gently stroke her damp hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ears, then his thumb softly traces the smooth line of her cheekbone.“Darius… I—I just found out my dad is Hades. And I think the curse broke my mother's spell. It shattered whatever was hiding me.”Darius nods, suddenly recalling Aida's earlier words about Caroline's bloodline.“You're burning up. Is the heat taking hold of you again?” Darius asks.Caroline shakes her head slowly before lying back, listening to Darius's steady heartbeat.After an intense silence, Caroline breaks it.“Darius, I have no idea how to make
As the kiss deepens, Darius finds himself fully hard inside Caroline once more. Breaking the kiss, he rests his forehead against hers, his breath hitching. “Fuck, love... I'm hard again,” he rasps. “I know. Do you want me to—?” she starts to ask, but Darius gently shakes his head. “Let me.” Without pulling his hard length out of her, he smoothly flips their positions, trapping her beneath him once more. They lose themselves in the heat all over again. Caroline moans and cries out, begging him for more as Darius grunts and growls at the tight squeeze of her walls clenching around him. He can never get enough of being buried inside her. Darius thrusts deep once more, and Caroline’s body goes limp as her third orgasm crashes over her. Her nails dig into his back, clawing at his skin as her grip tightens, but he doesn't slow down. He pounds deep into her, his mouth around one sensitive peak, sucking, while his free hand kneads the other. “Ah—fuck!” Caroline cries out under his rel
Darius doesn't move.He stays buried inside her, his hips flush against Caroline's, the whole thick length of him buried so deep she feels the pressure behind her ribs, every throb of his thick length.“Please…” Caroline begs.Her back arches off the mattress, her heels digging into the sheets, and every muscle in her body is locked down around him at once.Darius holds still.His jaw clenches so hard the muscle jumps under the skin, and his breath comes rough through his nose while her body works to make room for him.Tight. Scalding. Squeezing him in small fluttering pulses that pull at him with every beat of her heart, like she is still deciding whether to keep him or wring him dry.“Five days,” he rasps against her mouth. “Five days, and you've forgotten how to hold me.”“Move,” she says, her voice broken.At her plea, Darius drags himself out slowly, so slow her hips chase him up off the sheets, and the sound of it fills the room.Slick, obscene, and loud.Then he drives back in
I don't knock. I don't hear what Anna is saying. I push the door open with enough force to make the glass partition rattle. Adrian’s “dead” wife, what's her name again, Julianna, doesn’t even flinch. She just looks at me as a slow, condescending smirk spreads across her face. “Get out,” I say, my
Angela: ~~~ “Cassian, why are you looking at me like that? Did you do something to Adrian?” The words spill out before I can stop them; the air in the room has shifted, turning heavy. Cassian is staring at me with that dark, predatory gaze, which makes me afraid of him. “You want to go back to h
Angel:~~~“Go. Now. I need you safe.” Cassian says, and I've never felt so useless.He wants us safe, but what about him? What if I don't get to see him again?I look into his eyes and almost protest, yet I know if I stay here, I will only be an extra burden.I let him go and follow Virus, and as
Author: ~~~ Angela is furious for two reasons. First, she can't believe that Cassian, this handsome devil, managed to outsmart her in her own game. Second, she is terrified by her own heart. She is supposed to hate him. She is supposed to feel nothing but disgust for him, especially after
