Alruin’s pov I was gasping shakily.With my back to the door, I almost allowed my body to slide down until my butt hit the floor. I still couldn’t believe it! It felt like a fucking dream…a bad one! I shut my eyes, allowing my tightened lungs to take in as much air as possible. How long was the training going to run for again? I needed to be out of here as soon as possible! My wolf’s growling and desperate longing for Malric was driving me crazy. How could the passionate fire be so fierce even after all the years? “Dammit! Damn…it!”I mustered the courage to walk into the bedroom and there he was. My man, staring at me, his eyes darting with worry. He must have been wondering where I was this whole time. Frankly, in the heat of my hysteria, I had lost my way and ended up running through a different hallway. Only the room numbers on the doors had called my attention to it. Pricks of guilt gnawed at my aching heart and I swallowed, unable to meet his eyes. He rose to his feet,
Malric My senses failed. Even my wolf had made a mistake. I had lost track of Alruin’s scent and almost everything about him. My eyes failed me…but his didn’t. They still gleamed like crystals, reflecting the passion bubbling within him. Those augite blue eyes set my body on fire. I could forget everything about Alruin, but those eyes would forever be a picture in my head, unmistakable. Back in the lobby, I had mistaken someone else for Alruin. I thought he was still the skinny boy that had starved himself to satisfy my desires. I had imagined his silky, blonde mass of hair would still be the same, but I had never felt the sort of emptiness that drilled into my heart the moment I realized that it wasn’t Alruin indeed. “Apologies.” I had replied flatly, ignoring the beaming look on the stranger’s face when he recognized who I was. And from then on, I had gone on a restless search that almost drove me mad. But if you thought I was crazy, you should have seen my wolf. A rush
Alruin How? How did he manage to find me? This couldn’t be! I never thought I’d meet the golden glaze in those eyes again, flaring, molten, ravenous! But here they were again, burning into my soul! My heart raced with a current that seemed to run from the char of Malric’s eyes into my body. My mind had certainly run wild. This wasn’t the image of Malric I had created in my head, as a married man I had pictured something that didn’t look half as handsome as he did now! I had thought of a bald spot maybe…probably even a bigger stomach, a pot belly? I mean, he was married, wasn’t he? Certainly that had to change him in a way. I scoffed, but not my Malric… Not Lyra’s Malric, I meant! My heart flattered, butterflies running a stampede in my stomach as every nerve from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head jittered with excitement. Goddess! Why were these feelings suddenly coming back? Why did my heart thump and flutter so wildly for the same man who had almost killed
Alruin I slowly turned around, my heart hammering furiously, my blood pumping like it was lava that coursed through my veins instead. I could feel the swell of warm blood in my head, causing veins to crawl out of my temples. An icy line of sweat trickled down my back, making my spine arc slightly. My breath came out raspily through my quivering lips. I wasn’t ready to see him again…I wasn’t.But instead of a pair of burning gold, smothered in ash, two soft, steel-gray eyes regarded me curiously. My shoulders dropped immediately and the cold slithering its way through my body dissipated at the sight of Lorak. I could have thrown myself at him at this moment! My heartbeat calmed now with a touch of relief. I had never been so happy to see my boyfriend instead.“My Moonbeam,” he called, a smile twisting the edges of his beautiful eyes, “Are you alright? You didn’t raise your head throughout the entire meeting and at the last moment, you snatched your hand away from me and sat somewh
Malric I couldn’t travel with the other members of the team representing Lyra’s pack. The shabby bus they drove in spoke volumes of how much money her father was willing to invest into this training; not enough. I received the signal that they were already waiting for me in the lobby by the time I arrived. My chauffeur seemed hesitant to drive away but I waved him away with a frown. Everyone seemed to hold the same concern in their eyes. How would an Alpha fit in amongst commoners? How difficult could it be anyway? And why did everyone back at Vantheir make it look like I was stepping into a Sabretooth’s den or worse, a witches' coven? I scoffed and strolled into the hotel’s vast lobby, ignoring the doorman who bowed respectfully, his eyes gleaming with recognition. Something strange suddenly happened the moment I breathed in the lobby. My eyes widened with shock and scoured the lobby in a futile hope. For the first time in five years, my wolf burst into a rage of excitement,
Alruin I woke up the next morning feeling a little sore between my legs, but the intense satisfaction of last night still coursed through my veins, sending a warm vibration between my thighs. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself staring into two gleaming eyes that shimmered like winter steels. I gasped breathlessly. “You sleep like a princess at times.” Lorak remarked and planted a kiss on my forehead. “I must have fucked you too hard, you’ve never slept this long.” I sighed, a pale smile tugging at the edges of my lips. When I closed my eyes, Lorak’s massive frame was above me again, thrusting, writhing, groaning. I shivered and squinted at the fervent rays of sunlight that diffracted into the lush bedroom. “Maybe if I had passed out, you’d have stopped when I told you to.” I replied and rolled off the bed, absolutely naked with my package swaying around like a bell. I stretched my body and Lorak’s palms covered my nipples from behind as he pressed his hard body to my back
Alruin The excitement in the atmosphere pulsed through the very air I breathed. Everyone had a common ecstatic smile on their faces. There was a buzz of excitement in the bus we were in as we arrived. My heart was thumping with anticipation, my fascinated eyes wide and taking a tour of the perimeter I could see. The cold surge of euphoria bubbling in me was calmed by Lorak’s warm touch. I looked at him, his metallic eyes holding me captive for a few seconds, like the storm clouds captured in his gaze. His smile lit up my world instantly. I leaned into him and he stroked my arm as he encompassed me in a half-hug. He placed his chin on the left side of my shoulders, rubbing his cheek against mine in a romantic gesture he loved. “We’re finally here, moonbeam.” He said softly as the large bus came to a stop.Both of us sat at the extreme, watching everyone else rush out of the bus. Silvermoon was well represented by its exhilarated members. It would be a struggle to keep everyone
I hated dinner time.Having to share the room with my father, mother and Lyra was an occasional, yet very dreadful and gloomy occurrence. Lyra had her eyes glued to her plate while I stabbed a piece of a perfectly smoked steak lazily with a fork. We were both waiting, nerves rattled and anxious.My father had that smoldering look in his eyes, failing to restrain the fury that charred beneath those gleaming, yet smokey pupils. It didn’t matter that I had taken the mark of the Alpha from him two years ago, my father was still regarded as the most powerful man in our pack and beyond. I loathed his silence more than his venom-spitting words and he was an expert at being torturous with it. The lines on his forehead deepened, exposing the wrinkled marks of time that he tried to conceal with proper sleep and healthy eating ever since he stepped down. His eyes narrowed and the edges of his thin lips twitched. I took a deep breath, my nerves holding my ice cold heart on an edge. Just fu
“W-What?”The words couldn’t form in my mouth any better than my thoughts tousled in my brain. What did he just say? A mate bond? I took deep, raspy breaths all of a sudden, my lungs felt empty and bleak, like a cold room being sucked of its air and life. I swallowed and looked away, a bump at the base of my throat serving as a block in the nervous passage. His words had certainly struck a nervous core in me, littering goosebumps all over my skin like confetti. “Alruin?” he called warmly and squeezed my palm again. I gasped at him blankly, “Are you okay?”Of course, I wasn’t! I was stunned by this offer that had sprang out of the blue! Not once in five years had Lorak mentioned or even hinted at anything like this. It had always been pure romance and raw, crazy sex on a regular basis…that was our show of love. The walks, the dates, the kisses,the sex…but a mate bond? It wasn’t just crazy, but audacious. Staring into his eyes now, I couldn't find the void I had once seen.
