LOGINWhen Kal noticed the gloom in my gaze, he clicked his fingers and Omega servants poured in out of every corner of the gardens and bushes and hedges.I was too busy with Kallias that I didn't realize their presence. They were bearing snacks consisting of plates of sweets and savory meals and bottles of chilled wine. Well, of course, it’s chilled just by looking at the surroundings. He led me from a corner I’ve never been in before. I thought at first it was a greenhouse. But when we went inside and past the carved glass doors, it was a private dining place with only a dozen or fewer tables there. We spent the last part of our date here, eating and giggling and drinking. When I’m already a bit tipsy an hour later, Kal reached for my hand with a heavy face. “We’re going to the Moonflame Pack. Tonight.” My eyelashes flutter, but not in excitement. “Moonflame Pack...tonight?!”When he mentioned the Moonflame Pack, the remaining anxiety in my body earlier
The Alpha King’s question puts a strain on me. A question that I know the answer to, but can never have the courage to give it as the answer.“You know. As your Alpha King.” He smiles casually as he caresses a frosty red rose in the middle of the table. “Don't you love me as an Alpha King?”“Oh!” My shoulders relaxed. “Of course, I do!” I exhaled as I stabbed a fruit with my fork one last time before standing up. “So...the royal garden, you say?” I nervously chuckled and straightened the skirt of my dress, even if it’s unrumpled and made of silk.When we finally exited the private room and the Grand Dining Hall, he asked worriedly. “Are you alright? You look pale.”I gathered all the casualness I could and placed a soft kiss on his cheeks. “Of course, I look pale! It’s always winter, remember?” I gestured a hand outside us, where the snow still fell softly as if showering the earth with white petals.When we finally reached outside, he greeted the Warriors who greeted him, who were ju
I managed to climb out of bed and get up by the next morning, though the shaking of my knees and the aching of my ass didn’t help at all.Sunlight greeted me, and it drowned out the endless intrusive thoughts in my mind. It waltzed through the silver-and-violet curtains, bathing the room as if it were a spring garden.I felt beautiful and new in the morning light. Perhaps because of the Alpha King’s mark. Perhaps it's because of the wild passion we’re both entangled in last night.I ran to the window and nearly ripped the curtains from the curtain rod as I opened the windows to the snow-capped mountains and white wintry wonder that filled the entire country. Snow fell, but the clouds gave way to the sun. And my mating mark...I lifted a hand to my neck. It seems alive. Throbbing. It burns. “Your mark burns if I am near...” Kal told me last night when I lay in his chest after our smutty encounter. I caressed it, felt it beneath my palms to make sure it was real,
My mate blinked and was surprised at this. But he shook his head. “I’m sorry for doubting you and Vance. I was stressed with the prisoners in the dungeon, not to mention the Blackwind Pack’s violent mess—” “Hush,” I lifted a finger on his lips. “You don’t need to apologize for being tired. I understand, Your Majesty.” And we hugged for around five minutes, I think. When we released each other from our embrace, his lips curled. “You’re my lamb,” his breath was hot against my ear as he whispered, “and I am both your shepherd who tends to you and the wolf who’s meant to devour you.” His lips kissed my neck once, inhaling my scent. “No need for Elise. I shall teach her a lesson by tomorrow.” “What lesson?” But he only took my lips in another long, hot kiss. Heat gathered in my pussy. And as if he sensed it, smelled it, he slid one of the hands that’s caressing my breasts down to my middle. His eyes hold mi
“The wolves come at night, and their howls are as soft as thunder.” Kallias turned to me, his hands behind him tightly. “Have you ever heard that saying, Evadne?” I frowned after I closed the curtains of my room. Night had already descended, and I didn’t know Kallias was already in my room even when I ascended the stairs of the Winter Castle. My training and exercises with Alpha Vance took the whole morning and early afternoon. I ate my breakfast and lunch with him in the dining hall after training since he was insisting that I should share a meal with him. I remained in the dining hall for the rest of the afternoon since I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep when I just decided to close my eyes for a second. The howling wind slammed against the closed windows. I flinched. A storm is raging outside, a chaos of ice and snow. “Why is there a storm outside, Kal?” But his attention wasn't on my question. His eyes hardened like a p
Mirren's POVDying is less complicated than loving. I learned that the hard way.“But Prince Gerome...we’re engaged, right?” my voice broke into a sob. “We’ve been together for five years. The Northern Fae and the Red Dragons have been in alliance for centuries and our union will make our two kinds stronger. Breaking our engagement could result to war!”“That’s what those fools have been telling you,” he growled, his dragon’s eyes shining through in his gaze. “They’re just sparking fear out of your ignorant heart, Mirren. Don’t listen to them, and—yes, we are done.” He turned, spoke nothing more, and then shifted to his magnificent dragon form. Crimson scales and scarlet eyes, claws as sharp and long as daggers. He flew away, and I was left standing there at the edge of the cliff.For a moment, I was torn between jumping to my death and turning back to live in a new era of my life.I decided on the latter.***As soon as I arrived in the castle, there was a naked Alpha in my bed. “Yo
