Rain's POV
Before he could blink, I’d grabbed him by the color and slammed him up the opposite wall, liking how his ribs cracked under the pressure.
“Don’t,” I growled low, baring my canines at his neck, reminding him how easily I could end his life. “Push. It!”
“It’s the goddess damned truth, Rain,” Elijah hissed, struggling to breathe in my grasp. “You keep her in the same room, the same house, even the same goddess-forsaken pack where she was beaten and abused daily. Surrounded by the people who want her dead! You let your true mate verbally abuse her, and do nothing to make her feel safe or protected.”
His words hit me like a bucket of ice water.
I hadn’t even considered that. That, while I had many good and fun memories of this house – my old home – she might not feel the same. I walked these halls and I remembered laughter and joy, love and kindness… I remembered my father helping me through my first shift and running through
Selena’s POVI let my hands glide over the beautiful gold dress one more time. Rain had gone all out on this one. And while the Rogue King hadn’t spent a day in his life inside a shopping center, he did give Stella and me free rein online to buy whatever I needed.And yes, I did splurge a bit…The dress shimmered like molten sunlight every time I moved, each golden thread catching the light as though it had been spun from fire itself. The satin clung softly to my body, moving in beautiful waves. Not in an indecent or flashing way, but in a way that made me feel beautiful, regal, and powerful.The neckline elegantly dipped just enough to hint at a cleavage without revealing anything. The fabric flowed into a long, graceful skirt that whispered across the floor like liquid gold. A delicate belt in pale ivory pearls was wrapped around my waist, breaking the endless glow with softness.I chose emerald earrin
Victor’s POVThe phone rang, lighting up a familiar number I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to. Annoyed, I sure as fuck hoped he wasn’t calling to ask for another favor. I didn’t give them out for free to just anyone, but this guy? Well, he was a rare exceptionStill, I didn’t hesitate to press the green button…“Rain,” I said bluntly, signaling for my beta to leave the office. Not that he needed one. The second anyone heard that name, they knew not to ask questions and never to pry.Not if they valued their life anyway...“Victor,” the Alpha King replied, his tone a little more lively than it used to be. Guess that’s what happens to a man when you have a mate blowing life back into your stone-cold heart. And while I’d always believed that it would never happen to a stone-cold killer like the Rain Blood, I was now proven wrong.So maybe it could h
Selena’s POVSean found his mate?!And this was a problem?WHY?!Rain kept a firm grasp on my hand as he led me through the halls and into the dungeon – of all places! I was beginning to think that Joey’s “it’s bad” was just his way of saying “everything is fucked and we should run for the hills”…When we entered the main floor, there was chaos. Sean was being held back by four enforcers, his face bloody and bruised as he snarled and cursed everyone in the room. Joey was getting in someone’s face, physically blocking him from hitting his friend. And at the center of it all was a dirty, hog-tied girl, blindfolded and gagged like some kind of---Animal!“Oh my goddess!” I exclaimed and ran to her, pushing the wolves aside, and helped the poor thing up to sit. “Are you OK? Who did this to you?”“LU
Rain’s POVMy mate was a fucking vixen!I knew I should have resisted her. She’d given birth less than a week ago, and already she wanted to be on her knees before me. It was too soon and she wasn’t ready…But damn!The sight of her at my feet, her eyes glassy with need and her hot breath fanning my cock--- well, there was only so much self-control even a rogue king possessed…So I let her suck me off…I loved and hated it! Feeling guilty that I was the only one getting pleasure, when I, more than anything, wanted her to feel beautiful, wanted, and desired. So I poured all the pleasure she was giving me down the mate-bond--- and fucking magic happened!Her pleasure amplified my own, until it blinded me. My body shook with raw ecstasy. And when her need overtook her, she needed me to take control…And fuck me, but that just abo
WARNING: Sexual contentSelena’s POVI was free!Sure, I’d found myself accepting that being the daughter of the most hated man in the werewolf kingdom was just my cross to bear. But now – after finding my mother’s letter and knowing the truth – I was free!I only needed a moment alone with the letter to let everything sink in before I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. I didn’t understand why my mother would keep this from me. To let me think that my father hated me for no other reason than being human.Well, he wasn’t my father…And whatever her reasons, I found that I didn’t care! As a child, I’d felt a certain loyalty towards her, a blind belief that she’d always protect me. Now, that illusion had shattered. If it were guilt for cheating, isolation, or a desperate attempt to justify her own actions, I would never
Rain’s POV“My King?”Sighing, I lifted my head, glaring at the wolf who’d just stepped forward. My wolf wanted to kill him – no surprise there. The beast was getting more and more murderous with every passing day that I stayed, but these freaking negotiations kept dragging out until eternity.Maybe I should just let him kill every single one of them, and then I could go back to--- oh… no, that wasn’t viable in the long run. Then people would just revolt against me, and that would put Selena and Azul in danger and---AH!To think I once actually looked forward to being king…“Yes?” I growled, my voice a little rougher than I intended. The tension in the room was currently below freezing. Deckland had returned from the Dark Moon pack after finding it so entwined in dark magic that it physically made them sick. But finding an expert on black magic was no walk in the park, and thanks to my predecessor, witches weren’t all that trusting of werewolves.Yey – as my mate would say…Additional
