368. Careful Now
~ JESSE ~
I stood there in that room, hands on my mouth, heart pounding in my ears.
‘Jesse, you can do this! Just make him stop and listen, then you’ll have space to breathe…. Jesse… Jesse, what’s going on? Jesse… FUCKING ANSWER ME BEFORE I BREAK DOWN THIS DOOR.’
I blinked and realized Cazz was about to ruin everything, and threw my mind open so he could see what I was seeing, shaking my hands and making myself breathe.
‘Cazz, I’m sorry. I think I broke him!’

~ JESSE ~The following afternoon, the entire wing of the hotel that we’d been given was bustling with nervous energy. The seamstress and her team had taken a room and were making alterations to all the dresses the women had been given.There were hairdressers, and human make-up artists moving from room to room, polishing all of us until we glowed because we were supposed to be suitable for the richest and most powerful men in the state.And of course, the wolves were stunning. Reeca took my breath away.I’d never seen any of them in make-up, and even though something about it felt off, there was no denying that any of these women could have graced magazine covers, or celebr

~ CASIMIR ~There was no time, no sensible way I should focus on anything but the men we were preparing to take out tonight, but the moment I saw her standing in front of that mirror, her lush body glittering, her eyes like jewels, bright on black velvet, her body full and her skin glowing… dear God, she was stunning. Then as I stepped into that lavish bathroom, I caught her rich scent and it hit me what was ahead of us…I had to mark her with my scent. Claim her before any other male could even think to take her.The audacity of that male yesterday t
Slave to the Wolf King 371. I See You – Part 2
~ CASIMIR ~I caught her when her knees gave, wrapping arms around her middle, under her stomach, propping her up as my breath tore in and out and my chest heaved. I was sweating and had to pray that I wouldn’t sweat through the clothes because there wasn’t time to press another set.“Cazz… dear God…”“The comparison is flattering, but I keep telling you—”She snorted a laugh, then almost slid off the countertop and had to slap a hand to the edge of it to catch herself.There was a moment where my balance was off and hers was gone entirely, and we swayed together, still joined, her giggling, me chuckling, both of us shushing each other. Then I planted my feet and lift
Slave to the Wolf King 372. Rising Tide
~ CASIMIR ~The females were still preparing when I stood at the center of the wing and just allowed the reality to wash over me.Jesse was at my side, but turned away, speaking with Reeca and a couple of the other females. All of them were dressed and polished with the human make up. Though I enjoyed the human fashions, the painted faces made me grim. But I knew that Jesse and that Garrett creature had both emphasized that the men here would expect it, so I left it.I couldn’t deny that Jesse’s make up made her eyes look huge and even more piercing, and certainly drew attention to her lips in a way that made me want to drag her back to privacy. I could understand what it was about this tradition that appealed to the males. But still… I preferred it when I could see my mate’s natural skin.
Slave to the Wolf King 373 .The Cleric’s Distress
~ CASIMIR ~My wolf snapped it’s teeth and I shoved it back. He’d lost his scent for Jesse. He was not in love with her.But it hadn’t occurred to me to consider that his attentions might shift…I looked at my friend with new eyes, tipping my head, thinking back to whether I’d seen or sensed any hint of feeling from him in regards to the female.But no… he’d happily stood for her to be accepted in the Selection. He’d trusted her with Jesse’s secrets, and seconded Maya in relying on her.So, what had changed?I must have sent the thought to Rake, because his expression grew sullen and he turned to scan the hallway and a
Slave to the Wolf King 374. Brother, Brother
~ CASIMIR ~Jesse, myself, Rake, and Reeca were ushered down to the area where we’d be undertaking this whole enterprise early.Garrett, the Police Chief, now firmly under compulsion, had lost his suspicion and was consumed with eager lust and the thrill of bringing his friends into this little party. But there was a tang of fear in his scent. A part of him knew the truth, even if his mind wouldn’t conjure it. I’d given him reason to tell himself that his fear was based in our inherent danger as predators, but I knew that I walked a fine line with him.Letting him keep his own mind and thoughts, while forcing his mind to divert attention to other issues was an extremely precise compulsion, and now, watching the way he

~ CASIMIR ~“Look… no matter about that…” he said quietly when I waited for a response. “The point is, they have expectations and if you’re not meeting those—”“Their expectations are for dealing with a human. I am not human, I am wolf. I’ll handle this as a wolf would. If they see me trying to be like them, they’ll know I’m lying. You keep your greasy little nose out of this and leave me to do what I do best—making sure that everyone follows the rules. You can tell as many as will listen that I do not hold to your human standards on the sanctity of life. If they offend me, I will kill them. That includes you, you perverted little fuck.”Jesse stepped
Slave to the Wolf King 376. The Alpha
~ JESSE ~I didn’t hear what passed between Cazz and Garrett because I was dealing with some of the staff who were enquiring about how to make the women comfortable, and whether they should be offered drugs or alcohol because the first of the men were starting to arrive.Then, almost the moment the two separated, I realized that some of those suits that had entered just moments before weren’t staff.They went to the bar to get drinks—or whatever they wanted—and then turned around to peruse the women.It made my skin crawl. It was the most predatory I’d ever seen human males—and they reminded me of the wolves when they were on the hunt. But instead of enemies or warring factions, these men were hunting
