Thunder chuckled. “Is that the only reason you want to be with her?” I groaned because Thunder was persistent. “Fine,” I shouted at him through our inner conversation. “I want to fuck her. I’ve been thinking about it since I saw her after six months, and it’s because of the mate bond. It’s why I am
Then she saw me. Her head snapped up, eyes locked with mine, and a shudder ran through her. Her lips parted wider, and my name spilled out of her mouth. “Arineth.” That was the first time she called me without a title, and I liked it. It came out as a moan, so raw it nearly buckled my knees. She tur
~Lyrielle/Elyriah~“I want our mate so bad,” Cara cried out in my head. She wasn’t the only one who wanted him because I did, too, but we both knew what we craved was born of lust, fueled by the heat consuming us. When he touched me, it felt like I was in heaven, where only pleasure existed. And whe
He suddenly broke the kiss, panting, and I thought he was about to walk away from me, but instead, he pressed his forehead to mine, his breath fanning my swollen lips. “This changes nothing between us. Whatever happens tonight, Lyrielle is because of the heat,” he said, his thumbs brushing my cheeks
“Now,” he said as he stood up and wiped his chin, “I’m going to fuck you hard, and you’re going to remember this as nothing but hate sex.” He kissed me again, and I tasted myself on his lips. I tried to touch his chest, but he grabbed my hand and pinned it above my head.“I just want to see you,” I
“Harder,” I begged, my voice hoarse from screaming. Arineth listened to me as he pounded into me, wild and unrestrained, and the wall rattled with every thrust. The sound filled the room—wet, rhythmic slaps of our skin, my moans, his grunts. His hands gripped my ass and spread me wider, then he slam
ArinethShe was a virgin. I couldn’t believe she had been with Eiraeth for over two years, yet nothing happened between them. When I got to my room, I felt like a total jerk for accusing her of wanting Eiraeth. I had left her on the floor after having the best mind-blowing sex. I had been with women
“Well, I am not trying to make you feel remorseful. I am letting you see the bigger picture here, Arineth. Lyrielle doesn’t deserve the hatred from you,” Thunder countered.“There is one thing you keep forgetting to add: she rejected us without any explanation. That was a big wound, and…”“And?” Thu
“But we have encountered more war than they have ever had,” he heaved a deep sigh. “If only that boy was here, then maybe he would have put himself to use and helped us fight against the faeries.” I knew he was talking about Arineth. After all, he was the son that was used to wage war, and Arineth h
Daveth heaved a deep sigh and placed a hand on his beating chest. “I fear for our lives if she is truly alive because we had wronged her. We had…” “Enough!” I shouted at him and slapped his face. “She is dead! That woman we just saw is the fae queen! I do not want you to breathe another word of thi
~Eiraeth~ It can’t be her; that was what I had told myself when I saw the veil be lifted up. Everyone had the same look on their faces because no one was expecting to see Lyrielle’s lookalike. She was gone and didn’t exist anymore, but this woman, the fae queen, bears so much resemblance that it w
My father turned around and quickly lowered his head even before I spoke up. “It is my fault for not teaching my family properly, and this has made them take the king’s mate as someone they know.” I knew he was going to do damage control and pretend to be a great father as always, but I knew that h
They all stared at Lyrielle as if they were seeing a ghost. Those who made it evident that they were indeed staring were the Luna Queen, Eiraeth, and Daveth. After all, they were the ones deeply involved in what had happened to her and her family. Their plans were what ruined her life. “Is everythi
Lyrielle nodded and thanked them again. “It’s a pleasure to have you here, and I hope that later, you will be open to a girls’ get-together, and we can hang out.” Both of the queens exchanged looks, and I had thought they were going to decline, but they didn’t. Instead, they nodded in response. “We
~Arineth~ I should have known that she would be affected by them. It wasn’t easy to walk past them, especially when they brought back the memories she was trying to forget. When she had been frozen, I had rushed to her side, and it took some words to bring her forward. She had listened to me, mean
~Lyrielle/Elyriah I stood paralyzed, my eyes locked on Diana, Eiraeth, Daveth, the Alpha King, and the Luna Queen. They formed a perfect, infuriating tableau of joy. Diana’s hand rested on her stomach, leaning into Eiraeth for support, while Daveth stood tall between the royals, all smiling. Smilin
The door burst open again, and my heart jumped because I had thought that the person walking in was Arineth. I hadn’t seen him for two days since I was confined in the room, but it wasn’t him. Instead, it was the twins who had attended to me the first time: Malara and Delara. “Your Highness,” they b
