Regan!He was still alive!I couldn’t describe the happiness that surged through me or why it surged through me but I suddenly lunged out of the bed not minding the heavy chain that automatically tried to pull me back and into the man’s arms wrapping him in a big hug. “You’re alive!” I said happily, causing the man to chuckle. The sound sent a shiver down my back and the sensation forced me to release the man immediately.“Yes I am, thankfully. Good to see you alive too.” He said, with a smile painting his lips. “I’m sorry I ran away. I didn’t mean to get you into trouble with the Alpha. I just wasn’t thinking about anything when I did it, I saw an opportunity and I thought it wise to seize it not bothering to consider the consequences.” I said, my voice full of remorse. Regan patted my head gently, as if I were a child. An action that would usually have bothered me and even upset me, but maybe I was more excited to see the man than I had assumed because I didn’t seem to mind it t
Gwaine’s POV:The first thing I recognized as my body and mind eased into consciousness was the ache in my muscles. I slowly turned on my back wincing when my sore muscles protested at the movement.Sighing heavily, I stared at the beautiful chandelier above my bed for a while longer. I had forgotten to turn off the light when I had gone back to sleep and I was surprised that the bright lights hadn’t disturbed me. I couldn’t remember the last time I had such a peaceful sleep, one that wasn’t plagued by nightmares or just disturbed in some way or another. Sighing heavily, I moved out of the bed and into the bathroom, first stopping by the sink to stare at myself in the mirror there. Vilkus had been silent since the previous night and even as I stared into the mirror, I was surprised to find my own almost chocolate eyes staring back at me through the mirror. ‘Vilkus?’ I tried. Not like I wanted to wake the beast, it just felt really weird for my wolf to hand over control so easily a
You know it’s rude to eavesdrop on another’s conversation, right?” Gwaine said as he entered the room again. The Alpha was surprisingly looking calmer and he wasn’t breathing fire and stones like I had been expecting he would be doing after coming into the room so angry initially. “What did you do to him?” I asked immediately, eying him suspiciously. I saw a flash of gold run through his eyes but soon it was gone. His face remained in a rather surprising blank mask and he gently shook his head before moving to replace Regan in the seat besides my bed. “You just met him. Why do you care so much?” He asked, but there was no hint of bitterness or anger in his tone, just curiosity. I followed after him, moving to occupy my spot on the bed. I didn’t know how to properly answer his question. In truth, I didn’t really care so much about Regan, well not as much as the Alpha was assuming. But I was in a new place, filled with new people and the Beta was the nicest person I had met so fa
I always thought I would hate not being able to move around for more than a couple of hours, being the restless, stir crazy girl that I was, and don’t get me wrong I absolutely hated it right now. But not as much as I had feared initially. Maybe comparing my situation in the dungeon to the one that I had now made me a little grateful for this new one. I was fed three times a day, I could take a bath whenever I wanted to, I got to see the sun rise every morning and set at night and most importantly, I got to draw as much as I wanted. This was way better than being locked up in the dark with no sense of time and tortured to an inch of my life. Plus, I got visitors. Well, not really. Especially since two of those visitors were a Royal pain to my ass. Nicole had a bad habit of reminding of how annoying I was, and of how my tongue was going to put me in a lot of trouble someday and Gwaine? Well, we all knew how obnoxious the Alpha could get, I didn’t even want to waste time thinking
Gwaine’s POV:I could barely breathe. Her scent was too overwhelming, I buried my nose in her hair and sniffed deeply. Too hot, it felt too hot in here even with the air conditioning turned on. ‘You have to leave this room right now.’ Vilkus growled to me. But there was barely a thing that could make me leave this bed and the warmth that was seeping from Catherine. Her smooth thighs were out and the her tiny arms were wrapped around my neck causing her boobs to be pressed firmly against my chest. I let my rough hands run through the soft skin of her stomach, humming in satisfaction. ‘Don’t touch her Gwaine. You need to leave right now.’ Vilkus said. ‘Why? You’re no longer interested in her? I thought you always were?’ ‘Until I found she was a child.’‘No, she’s not. Only her wolf is.’ I argued, starting to trace my fingers higher on her thighs, groaning when the action caused Catherine to move on my crotch and let out a small moan. I felt Vilkus fighting to take over, but I he
My eyes flipped open and I was met with complete darkness and silence, I blinked twice hoping to chase away the sleep that was threatening to pull me under once more. I turned around on the bed and looked in the direction of where I hoped the window would be. Trying to think of what would have woken me up so suddenly. Instead, the only thing that came to mind was the way I had fallen asleep. Wrapped up in Gwaine’s arms and breathing in his scent. I couldn’t believe how easy it had been to fall asleep in his arms. How my body had heated when he had moved just before I fell asleep, how I had enjoyed the way his fingers had began running through my thighs when he thought I was asleep. I turned again on the bed, burying my face into the pillow and letting out a small scream of embarrassment, but that was when I noticed something. There was silence in the room, no rattling of chains and my legs felt free. I quickly reached for the nightstand to put on the nightlight and I was shocked t
It was a while later before I heard footsteps coming down the hall and in the direction of my room. I knew who it was, there was only one person presently in the house who could sound like that when they walked, but I still hoped it wasn’t him and that he wasn’t coming to me. I didn’t have such luck because a few seconds later and my door was being pushed open to reveal the Alpha’s big frame. He entered completely into the room and shut the door, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at his face. I couldn’t explain why, but even being in his presence felt weird, it felt different and my mind was still trying to process and make sense of it. “Going somewhere?” He asked, and when I finally risked a glance, he had his attention focused on the bag that I had left by the door. I swallowed painfully but kept quiet, I didn’t know what to say anyway so there was no need to try. Gwaine finally left his position by the door and came closer to me by the bed, sitting at the edge of it. I wasn’
“You know it’s rude to keep your Alpha waiting.” Nicole’s voice came through, penetrating the haze of sleep on my mind and causing me to groan loudly like someone in great pain would do, but the girl didn’t take the hint. Instead she pulled open the curtain and came to stand beside my bed to stare me down. “Please go away and he’s not my Alpha.” I tried but she only rolled her eyes, sighed, before pulling the blankets off my frame. “Master has requested that you join him and his mistress for breakfast this morning. They will soon be down and you’re yet to stand up from the bed. Do you see why it would be impossible for me to go away?” Nicole asked, in her ever monotonous voice that never failed to make me want to gouge out my own eyes. “I really don’t care Nicole.” I finally said and I was surprised when the girl’s usually stoic face broke into a smile. “I know you don’t Cat and that’s why I’m here. Come on, I prepared a warm bath for you already.” Nicole said and I groaned loudl
