"Where did you learn to dance like that?" he breathed, his voice coming across thick with lust. I swallowed hard, my eyes stuck in a rhythm of drifting down to the huge bulge in his trousers and back to his face with evident nerves. This is what I had been aiming for, wasn't it? I had wanted to toy with the alpha.
I just had no idea he would be so... so... I don't even know. I was overwhelmed, seeing the evidence of his arousal, the open, wild want in his eyes as he pinned me to the spot with his piercing gaze. I swallowed again, my tongue darting out to wet my lips that had suddenly grown dry. Duke followed my actions causing a dart of desire to hit me, my pussy clenching as the first waves of passion began to take over me.
"Grace?" he repeated, standing in front of me now, reaching out to grab a lock of my hair, twisting it around his fingers.
"I... the other warriors..." I paused again, once more wetting my lips. I couldn't believe that was my voice, it sound
How did Duke manage to do this to me? Despite my resolve not to ever visit my father during my stay here, I soon found myself freshly showered, in clean clothes and stood outside my dad's room.I took a deep breath to steady my breathing, feeling the lightheadedness and sweaty palms that indicated the beginning of a panic and attack and turned my frantic eyes in Duke's direction"I don't know if I can do this - I know we promised not to talk about it, I know, but I can't walk in there, not after everything that happened!" My arms were flailing wildly as I spoke, my words coming out in a jumbled mess.Duke grabbed my hands and placed them on his chest, allowing me to feel his strong, steady heartbeat beneath his clothes. "Breath, Grace. I'm right here. I promise you, I'm not going anywhere. We'll do this together."I closed my eyes and took a moment, timing my breathing based on his, following the rise and fall of his chest. My head was ready to explode, m
The call with Khaos lasted all of 30 seconds. Even in that brief moment, I could tell something had happened. He sounded monotone and dead inside - something I would expect with a background such as his, but he had always remained upbeat with me. All he would tell me was that he needed somewhere to stay for a while to clear his head. Of course, I said yes. He hung up soon after.I wasn't in the mood for talking either, but Khaos had been a perfect excuse. Now I was left with an endless amount of time on my hands as Grace said goodbye to her father. As much as I had wanted to stay with her, I knew she needed her privacy at this moment.My mind was reeling. I had been conditioned to believe that Grace had tried to seduce her father. I hadn't believed it at the time but when more and more evidence came to light, as well as Grace's silence, it was difficult to remain true to her. Now though, now I was seeing things in a whole different wayWhy would she hold such re
I woke up dazed and confused, not knowing where I was or what had happened. My dreams had been plagued with visions of demons and monsters, ready to capture me and punish me for my crimes - subconsciously I knew this was a warning from the Moon Goddess.It was only the steady pressure on my hip that brought me back into the present as I blinked, trying to take in my surroundings, eventually focusing on the soft, perfect face of DukeHe was leaning on his elbow, his hand propping his head up at the temples, his other hand wrapped around my hip, keeping me close to him. There was a look of concern on his face and a gentleness in his eyes.It was true then. My father was dead. I wondered how much he knew at this point. Did he know I was responsible? Much of the night felt like a blur to me although I could vaguely recall Duke caring for me, treating me so gentle as though I was made of glass and the slightest knock would shatter me foreverHe didn't know the
A gasp resounded around the compound the second I had pinned Duke to the floor. I saw the brief warning flash through his dark eyes, quickly followed by a cloud of anger.I let my tongue loll out as I cocked my head to the side- the equivalent of a wolfy grinAre you giving up already? I projected to him, loving the power I had over him at that moment nothing in this life comes for free, Duke. You want me as your mate, you have to earn itSurges of excitement ran through my veins, my wolf almost salivating at the thought of what was to come. Was there anything better than having your mate chase you down? To use all your wits to out manoeuvre him, to have him show his strength and intelligence until eventually, inevitably, he had you pinned beneath him, his own little conquest for the taking.Honestly, I grew wet at the mere thought. Oh yeah, we needed this right nowMy wolf growled at Duke once more, bending her head low to deliver a painful nip to
Duke landed on top of me with a force that had my chest crashing against the ground, the air leaving my lungs in a painful wheeze.His teeth were on my neck straight away, his sharp bite breaking through the thin skin as he pinned me down and held me in place.Submit he ordered through the bond, challenging me to defy him as my body continued to thrash beneath him. I wanted to keep fighting, to show him just how defiant I could be but the Alpha tone running through his command was irresistible. His voice boomed through my mind and I was lost to it, as smooth as honey whispering to all the loving and hopeful yearnings I had kept hidden for years.Last warning he told me as I lifted my hind legs, trying to shake him off me with my rear. His teeth sank further into my neck, just above where his mating mark would have been and my eyes rolled into the back of my head in response. His voice dropped with confidence and power, knowing that he was overpowering me. I shiv
Duke spun on his heal, walking away from me and into the en suite bathroom. Before I had chance to register what was happening, he had pulled out the full length mirror and placed it directly in front of me.I stared at him with a puzzled frown, bringing my legs tight together, my cheeks growing hot with embarrassment as I was forced to look at the evidence of my own glaring arousal.Duke tutted, slowly moving around me until he was st my back, sinking to his knees behind me as he brushed the hair off my shoulder, exposing my neck, his other hand creeping up my stomach and up to my tits. He grabbed a handful of one and then the other, his fingers circling around my nipped until they were stiff, erect peaks. He murmured his approval in my ear, his husky voice sending a shiver of anticipation racing through my body.His hand moved further up my body to wrap around my neck, giving a gentle squeeze."Do you like toying with your alpha?" He whispered, his brea
How can one wolf cause so much devastation?Khaos had been here less than a day, and already he had caused more drama than any wolf I had come across – it was almost as if he enjoyed it. As if he knew that drama would follow wherever he was, and he fully embraced this.As soon as we had heard that he was smashing up the packhouse, we had thrown our clothes back on and raced down the stairs.I had gasped at the scene in front of me – his warriors had Duke’s pinned to the floor, raining blow after blow down on their faces whilst Khaos screamed at anyone within his vicinity that he was an Alpha, he didn’t need to answer any questions. He was in charge of his own destiny, and he wasn’t about to let a little Goddess bond stop him from doing what needed to be done.I honestly had no clue what the fuck he was talking about, but what I did know, was that this needed to be stopped, and quick.Khaos was throwing his fists into w
I watched in suspicion as Khaos helped Duke rebuild the walls he had shattered with his fists.What was his motive here?Why had he singled me out?How did he know about my past?Was I really that easy to read?Duke certainly had no idea – but was that because he was too close to the situation? Too emotionally involved to be able to form a reasonable, logical excuse for what happened?Khaos had been here five days and already he had gotten under my skin, sussing me out in a way that nobody had been able to do before. How did he do that? How did he crawl into somebody’s minds and figure out their secrets? The ones that should stay dead and hidden, lest they spill out and ruin the few good things in one’s life.Even though I had never met Violet, I suddenly felt sorry for her. It can’t be easy to be mated to a wolf who possessed the level of perception that Khaos did. Already I knew that he didn’t view the
