LOGINKatherine’s POV
It was Kenneth and of course Judith. Judith is the teacher for the pups kindergarten and Kenneth was a server to Gerald. They both had their duties. What were they doing here? Their hands were intertwined together. She whispered something into his ears and he smiled at her. They moved together in sync. Judith's eyes managed to find me. Like he wanted me to see it. My wolf whimpered in pain begging me to go to our mate. I ignored and caged her pain and forced myself to keep moving. “Katherine eyes forward!” Thorne My instructor barked. I focused I won’t let him break me; he might have broken our bond. I lifted my chin and focused on my training. ~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s been three days since Kenneth rejected me. Kenneth and Judith paraded themselves around the pack. It was like they both wanted to flaunt whatever they had in my face no matter how I tried to avoid them. I thought it was going to get better but it kept getting worse. I had seen her kissing him, at the pack’s breakfast when she saw me looking she laughed. My wolf curled inward I let her watch it refusing her to hide because I wanted her to see it and convince her the reason why we should forget and heal. “You know you don’t always have to look at them” Felicia told me breathing hard we were on our tenth lap of run. We laid on the floor trying to catch our breath. “I have to, how else will I convince my wolf to accept it.” I breathed hard “This is why I say all the time the mate bond is a curse rather than a blessing, look at this you want to be free despite the rejection but you can’t because your wolf doesn’t understand.” “Mate bond is actually a beautiful blessing don’t judge based on my experience. You will find your mate someday.” I told my friend. Felicia brushed her curls from her face, leaning back . “I won’t feel it anyway. The advantage of not having a wolf yet.” She shrugged. “Want to switch? Just for a day please please.” I turned to her playfully. “No no no I beg to pass” she jumped up, I chased after her laughing. “I can’t keep running with you else my lungs will explode, I’m almost human after all.” We both looked at each other and burst into laughter. “We should go to Begonga. You will need it. I could have Mathuk prepare a gamma for you.” Begonga was like a secret hide out Felicia created in the outskirts of the pack around the cursed Lycan mansion. Nobody visited there. “No, thank you I rather go sleep at home. “You know mating with mathuk is wrong it’s against the packs rules..” “Two same rank wolves can’t mate together.” We both said it at once. “It’s not like it’s a love or mate thing. He just has a good cock, I can’t help it.. and he lets me tie him.” Felicia winked at me. “What kind of crazy fantasy is that Felicia?” I knotted my brows at her. “You should give it a try” She told me. “Well I have to go, I can’t keep him waiting.” She whispered. “You better go get your self a good dick” My eyes widened. “She is going to be the death of me.” I whispered to myself. After she left I walked myself home. To my greatest surprise I saw Kenneth in my room naked. After some minutes I stormed out angry hold a bag. He was a scumbag. How fucking dare her. The pack suddenly felt too suffocating. I couldn’t breathe the same air as him right now. It was pressing down on me. I did the unthinkable. I sneaked out of the pack. I heard the other wolves say it countless. I could be reckless too. It was my first time outside the pack house so I navigated around on my own. I made it to a building. It was the club. It reeked of alcohol and sex. I walked in trying to mingle with the humans. I was going to grab a few bottle of drink and leave. I joined them dancing, bottle after bottle. My head banged hard from the countless drinks. I was a wolf yes but I was weak and I got tipsy easily only for a short while and to top it up I had completely locked out my heartbroken wolf I wasn’t ready to handle her whimpers on Kenneth’s offer and judgements on sneaking out of the pack. “You need a good dick” Felicia’s voice echoed in my ears. “Maybe I do need one. A human cock would not be bad.” I climbed up the table. They cheered me I rocked my hips from side to side. I bent and shook my butt. I had a pretty good one it was soft and could bounce. All the while I was sorting my prey. And then I saw him. I got down and walked gracefully to him. “Hi, can you fuck me hard, I don’t mind it as long as you make me squirt”Ria’s POV I didn’t know how much time had passed, but I hadn’t moved an inch from where he left me. I cried until there were no more tears. My throat was raw, my chest sore. With the kind of power that kidnapper had, he was definitely going to kill me. He could compel me to do things I didn’t want to do. My wolf curled up at the back of my mind, restless, but helpless. She couldn’t get me out of this. Maybe the Moon Goddess was punishing me for cursing her name, for trying to carve out my own fate. Or maybe it was for being ungrateful to my mother. I didn’t know. But what was going to happen to me? If he knew what I was, he would never let me go. Maybe he was only keeping me alive until he figured it out. Or maybe… he had figured it out already. My heart thudded as my hand brushed the place he had marked me. How had my life flipped upside down so quickly? One moment I was leaving a club, the next I was locked in here by a demon who marked me without my consent. The door c
Alex’s POV I walked out of the room and lingered by the door, listening to her sobs. My heart clenched. I hadn’t expected her to cry. I had forced myself to leave, but the sound unsettled me in a way I hadn’t felt in centuries. She was scared,truly scared. I had seen it in her eyes, even through her sharp mouth and false bravery. She knew exactly what she was. She knew why I had been drawn to her. Was that what scared her? When I compelled her, I had seen the raw terror of fear there. She wasn’t just afraid of me. She was certain I would end her. The truth was, I didn’t want to hurt her, if there was one thing her blood saved me. I only wanted answers. Why had she pulled me? Why had her blood neutralized the Iron’s Veil? Why had I felt a surge of power that rattled my cursed existence? Why had I almost lost control? Her scent lingered in my lungs, intoxicating. Her blood thrummed in my veins like wildfire, reshaping everything I thought I knew of my body. For the first ti
Ria’s POVConsciousness returned to my body. My wolf instincts kicked in, the place felt unfamiliar. I caught two scents and heartbeats that were not familiar either, I felt one coming towards me so out of instinct my wolf kicked in defense. I jolted awake. The atmosphere was thick and powerful. Whoever they were, they were not humans.My mind jumped to the worst. Lycans. They must have kidnapped me to use me for something or maybe even force me into bearing heirs for them since I have been stubborn about it.I turned towards the one my body recognized. Goddess. He was breathtaking and beautiful for a man. His eyes looked dangerous and he looked at me unfazed. That wasn’t the issue now. He had kidnapped me.I questioned why he had me kidnapped but he remained mute watching me. Last night’s event came rushing back.The club.That annoying heir who ruined my night. My decision to leave. Then he staggered down the hallway, like he was drunk. And then his hands grabbed me, his fan
Alexander’s POV I sat across from the limp wolf, rationality finally clawed its way back into me. I had taken her to my place. How the hell did I end up biting a wolf? My eyes lingered on the mark on her neck against her skin. The door creaked open. Lumen stepped in, his eyes cautious. I looked at him with a glare that could rip through bone. “It’s me, Alex. It’s me…the real Lumen,” he said quickly. I had already told him what happened and how an ifrit had poisoned me with his face. My jaw clenched at the memory. Lumen had seen the wreckage back in the private room and had followed the trail until he found me in the hallway, bloodlust , her limp body in my arms, my mouth still wet with her blood. I wasn’t one to lose control. But even now, I couldn’t shake it of,her blood still burned in my veins. The scent was medicine. Salvation. Irresistible. There was something about her that pulled me. “I figured out who she is.” Lumen walked forward and handed me his phone. A video p
Rowan’s POVI had followed my sister when she stumbled out of the house, but the moment she sensed me coming, she sped off. Tires screeched against the pavement, and then she was gone.My heart wrenched at the rift between us. When did it start? Was it the day I moved out five years ago… or was it the crushing weight of our bloodline pressing down on her shoulders?In those years, I had gone back to New Haven for training,brutal, unrelenting, the kind my position demanded of me. I hadn’t told Ria. Then I came back, not as her brother but as the one set to inherit S Group in Father’s place. Father couldn’t make many appearances anymore. He wasn’t aging. For the humans’ eyes, he had to fade into shadow and I had to step in.But I knew Ria. She never meant half the sharp words she threw at Mother. Her bite was only a shield.And that cry gods, that cry she let out before driving away,it broke me. I felt her pain through our twin bond.I dragged myself back into the house, I barely cro
Ria’s POVI would not follow the fate the moon goddess had given me, I will create my own path.I didn’t know how long I stayed parked, but eventually I drove to the club. Tonight I just wanted to be free. I didn’t have anywhere else to go.This club had been making headlines lately, packed, busy, crawling with rich heirs and heiresses who thought the world bent for them. Zariah and I had planned to come here together, but since she was away, I would grace it without her.I looked in the mirror and wiped my tears. My steering wheel was shredded from my claws, the leather hanging like ribbons. My phone kept ringing, Rowan's name flashed over and over. I turned it off and shoved it in my bag.I stepped out of the car and walked into the club. Music pounded through the floors, lights flashed across bodies pressed too close together. Heads turned as I entered.“Ria Salvatore,” someone whispered.“She’s here?”“Of course she is.”I didn’t care. Let them look. Let them gossip.I pushed th
