Still, Phoebe was right, she couldn't remain untouched for the rest of her life and werewolves were known for their sexual appetite.There was nothing Diana loved more than a steady hand. With that thought at the forefront of her mind, she looked around the hall with new eyes.Instead of trying to stay hidden, she assessed the others to see if any would appeal to her or her not-so-demanding friend.As if hunting with her friend Phoebe opened up new perspectives, the pair shared a sly smile and circled the room with intent....Michel walked into the club straight to the manager's desk. A moment later Erick, his beta joined him.“We have a good crowd tonight. he said with justifiable pride. It was his beta's idea to convert the old bar into a safe ground for mating encounters. A brilliant idea that brought the pack surprisingly large profits.Michel nodded, patting him on the shoulder. “Our profits and memberships are skyrocketing, even with our strict restriction on entry.Humans and
“Hmm. Guess I'll just have to drink then.Michel tried to look harmless, which wasn't easy for a strong pack alpha. What would you say to a woman who smelled so divine you wanted to attack her?Gently, he guided his afternoon snack and soon-to-be companion to a table on a dais beyond the dance floor. Currently empty, the table was reserved for him and his packmates.He pulled out a chair for Diana to sit in, before settling himself to Diana's left."Sweetheart, what does the tattoo mean?"Caramel eyes blinked rapidly."My beloved Andrew died three years ago, I was with him for two…" was the smothered tearful reply.Unable to help himself, Michel stroked a hand over the young woman's arm. She was so sweet that the alpha wanted to devour her as best he could. But the thought of scaring Diana off kept her wolf on the lookout. Claiming a mate was tricky business.— Did you really come here to discover a new love? Michel's voice didn't hold an accusing question. He wanted Diana to trust hi
Diana almost objected, but the look in the man's eyes stopped her.“You have been without a master for a long time, my beautiful one. You are tempted to think for yourself."Who said I needed a master?" Diana challenged. She wasn't going to give up to a complete stranger without some answers. The man might be the hottest thing in the club, but Diana was a cautious soul. Unfortunately, that wariness vanished before his silver gray eyes and a set of hot abdominal muscles that she could see outlined by his shirt.- I said. I can tell by the sweet longing in your eyes that you need someone to take care of you. Michel leaned down and took Diana's lips in a commanding kiss that demanded everything and gave even more. Fire licked up his spine as need burned inside him like a wildfire.Diana tugged reluctantly, withdrawing with a slight tug from Michel's tight grip.“I might like a man to control me, but I don't need something long term. Drew was my soul and I don't think I'm ready for a repl
Caramel eyes narrowed.“Sorry I don't look so attractive in the morning light. She started to climb, but Michel stopped her with a hand on her wrist.- I did not mean that. Why are you so…” He couldn't finish, not under the gleam in those pretty eyes.He thought for a moment when Diana pushed herself out of his grasp.“It was a nullification spell. Diana's cheeks turned red. “I gave myself a glamor charm so I wouldn't outshine Phoebe.A glamour? That meant...Erick was faster than him."What the fuck does he really look like?"Michel felt everything in him tense. He looked at Diana once more to confirm the awful truth. His new mate wasn't just a pretty young woman, she was an obscenely beautiful woman. Never in three hundred years had he seen anyone male or female more beautiful.He was totally screwed.Erick started laughing like an idiot.Michel wanted to kill something, preferably his beta.- There is a problem? I'm sorry if you felt cheated. I you ...Diana's sweet face turned to
Diana hurried to her office by taking the back stairs. She didn't want her employees to see her in her party clothes. Within minutes his leather pants had been replaced by a designer suit with a nice pair of Italian shoes.Diana took the elevator down to the conference room, but as soon as she walked through the door, she knew something was wrong. The men who were there when she entered radiated an uneven vibe. The vibe that told him they weren't human.There were three of them, all wearing dark glasses, all exuding danger.Ellen handed him the file.“Thanks, it's great. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?"Didn't you need to take a few minutes for this meeting?""I think we're going to get along just fine." This is just going to be an informal chat to get the ball rolling. Go ahead, now go spend some time with your family.Giving him an awkward look, she let him escort her to the door and close it behind her. Diana knew there would be questions later, but now the issue of sta
The telephone bell woke Diana from a deep sleep.Phoebe's cheerful voice called out as she picked up the receiver.— Hey woman, Hey pretty."I think someone better be dead." Diana snarled. She positively hated waking up. Especially when she was dreaming of hot sex with a certain dark-haired wolf.Phoebe huffed across the line.'Not yet, but I've been threatened by Michel if I don't have you here tonight.'It's been a week since her date with the handsome Michel. A hot week of dreams where they fucked like rabbits all the time, before bed tangled together like lovers tangled together. She woke up every morning with spunk in her chest and panting like she'd just finished marathon sex. She had only seen him twice before due to other commitments and honestly she was scared. It was one thing to enjoy a few hot moments with a dominant like Michel, but she was certain the man could become her whole world. After losing Drew, I didn't think I could go through that again.What if she fell in lo
Diana's taste was like getting a mouthful of all her favorite flavors mixed together at once. The damp heat of the spice, hot and something that was inalienably its mate rolled onto Michel's tongue. After a few more swallows he removed his fangs from his lover's delicate skin licking the bite marks, knowing that in a few hours they would completely disappear, but not her scent. His scent was embedded in his lover and would stay that way for several weeks.“That was amazing. Diana said, eyes wide with rapture. "You can bite me anytime."Michel didn't laugh with a bit of relief. “I'll keep that in mind baby. I'll keep that in mind. “Now probably wasn't the time to tell your mate that she would be marked regularly to keep others away from her.“Now get down on your knees and treat me to that pretty ass of yours.Diana gave him an anxious look at her face, so pretty.“Come on, sweetie. Don't make me wait. You made me wait a week before agreeing to be my mate, which deserves punishment. Th
The weight of the crown settled on my head, the cold metal pressing against my temples. The throne room was filled with a hushed anticipation as I took my place on the ornate seat of power, inherited from my mother, the late Queen. My heart raced, and my palms grew damp with nervousness. The room, adorned with tapestries and sparkling chandeliers, exuded an air of grandeur and history, reminding me of the immense responsibility now resting on my shoulders.As I scanned the room, my eyes fell upon the portraits of my ancestors lining the walls, their eyes seemingly watching over me. They had ruled this kingdom with strength and wisdom, and now it was my turn to carry on their legacy. I could feel their presence, urging me to be strong, to be a worthy leader.My advisors, dressed in regal attire, stood before me, their expressions a mix of solemnity and support. Their guidance would be crucial in navigating the challenges that lay ahead. I took a deep breath, steadying my nerves, and me
