I tried to struggle free of his grip and felt his teeth, piercing my skin. I felt helpless. He was an Alpha male. Much stronger than me. No! I couldn’t let that happen. “I said… leave me!” Using all my strength, I pushed him off me with full force. I did succeed this time, but my heart sank when I saw blood droplets on his lips. Did he just… I touched the skin to relieve some of the burning sensation, “Did you… did you just mark me? You have already got a Luna by your side, as*shole!” There was an evil glint in his eyes, “Yes. Violet will always be my Luna. She is the mom of my child. While you?” He paused, wiped the blood off his mouth, and licked his finger, “You will always be a slave. My side chick! If you think I’ll let you go with that bloody Lycan warrior, then you are mistaken. I have got confirmed news. The Lycan who claimed you, is not even an advisor. The one in power is Beta Brian.” With that, Eric turned on his heels to leave the room and twisted the handle. “This i
The strikingly dashing man covered my hand that was placed on the dining table.“Don’t be scared, Rayna. I am not a fool to think that the Dick triplets will be stupid enough to ask a nake*d slave to serve the drinks to the Royals. So, what’s the catch here.”His eyes were boring into mine as if he wanted to get into my brain and read all my thoughts. Initially, I stayed quiet and then looked up to meet his piercing gaze.“What am I missing here?” he asked in a hushed tone.“I wanted revenge!” I finished hurriedly and then started chewing my lip, “I am sorry, Mr. Lexi… b…but I wanted safety. They are after my life. My freedom.”Just last night I promised myself not to cry but… here I was weak as ever. I thought with a smirk. I had almost forgotten about his presence when a hand came up and started wiping my cheeks softly.“Why are they after you?” when he asked me, I closed my eyes in shame, “Tell me and I promise. No judgments.”I hoped he wouldn’t use this information against me in
Rayna Bennett:“Here… I brought you these,” Zara placed a disposable plate of strawberries on the mat. We were sitting in our favorite spot under the huge Oak tree.“Won’t you eat with me?” I said filling my mouth with those beauties.“Nah. I already had it in the kitchen.” She said leaning back against the tree trunk, “so what are the Lycan’s plans? Is he willing to take you with him?” she asked me and picked up a twig twirling it between her slander fingers.“I don’t know about his plans. But if he is willing to not only save my life but also wants to keep my future secure then I guess I owe him my life.”“Come on, Rayna. You are beautiful and can get any well-settled wolf or a Lycan. A warrior life is nothing but… unpredictable.” She threw the twig at me and sat straight, “If he is offering you a good job then just accept it and move on. Don’t waste your life after him.”I shook my head and picked up some more strawberries, “I was mated to the Alphas of my pack and see what they di
Rayna Bennett: “Come on!” Zara said dragging me to the backyard where other Omegas were waiting for her, “You are staying in your room a lot lately. We know you are banned from entering the kitchen or for any other chore but that doesn’t mean you are not allowed to enjoy life.” As always Zara kept on chattering and kept pulling me where Omegas used to have their small fun gatherings. “Guys! Our very own Rayna is here!” A fellow Omega, Harper threw her fist in the air and a heavy hush fell on the group. This was the only free time of the day for us, as after lunch the pack members used to take naps. None of them was expecting me and I was regretting coming here. They must be feeling uncomfortable around me. “Come over,” I heard Nadia, the kitchen in charge, and walked to her, “Come on, girls.” She clapped her hands bringing out all the Omegas out of their trance, “Don’t forget that Rayna has been one of us.” She announced good-naturedly and I threw a thankful glance her way. Nad
Alexander Ironheart povI heard all the remarks they were throwing at her. She stopped but didn’t let her mouth’s grip loose around that spoon.My announcement to make her my mate might just be a show to keep her safe. But there she was standing as my soon-to-be chosen mate among her pack members. I couldn’t see them disrespecting her.Looking at Lola, I couldn’t believe that she could be so heartless. Why did her stupid beta mate never get the chance to see her real face?I not only went to Rayna but also scooped her up in my arms.I never liked weak people in my life, be it a woman or a man. This she-wolf might be weak physically, but she was intelligent.I had to give her this much credit. She seemed to be relaxed in my arms. Her heart rate had quickened and was now stabilizing.However, she was shocked when I placed her foot on my knee and started tying her shoelaces. For some odd reason, I liked doing it.“What was the prize after the win?” I asked loudly no one in particular, ke
Lola Bennett's pov:An Omega was sitting on the floor near Violet’s feet and was softly massaging her swollen feet with the scented oil. Violet’s eyes were closed, and it was clear she was struggling to keep herself relaxed.What was exactly on her mind when I was taking care of everything for her?My mind wandered off to Lexi who was not even trying to meet me secretly, something he used to do five years ago. He had become more handsome and more distant with time. Thankfully werewolves were not able to read each other’s minds otherwise by now my beta husband Logan would have killed me for having impure thoughts about Lexi.Every time, I used to look at the man, my hands wanted to touch him and feel those flexing muscles under his shirt.Initially, I thought that he accepted Rayna as his chosen mate because he wanted to keep her safe. But lately, I had seen raw hunger in his eyes for her.The way he looked at her while lifting her up in his arms when we were playing that game in the
Rayna’s pov:I didn’t know why I woke from a deep sleep. My first thought was … that maybe triplets were getting intimate with Violet but then my mind denied it.Ever since Eric half-marked me, I had stopped feeling that pain. But why did I wake up?After Alex left my room yesterday, I kept thinking about the way he laughed lo
Alexander Ironheart The woman in my arms was in extreme agony and I was racing towards the packhouse in my Lycan form. “Brian. Send the most senior pack doctor to my room. Will ya?” I sent a mind link to my beta and closed the connection when he assured me that it would be done in no time. The poor man was keeping an eye on Rayna and left his spot to visit the bathroom. When he came back, he couldn’t smell her in the room. Following her scent, he reached the witch’s camp and found her there. She was in heat, and he couldn’t take the risk of touching her. He still thought that I was serious about taking her as my mate which was not true. Why would I? Mom always told me that either my mate should be a fated one or she must have something special in her to draw me. And no. She was not talking about looks. Rayna was withering in pain when I placed her on my bed. “You’ll be fine, Sapphire eyes. The doctor is on his way.” I told her after getting back in my human form and didn’t k
