INICIAR SESIÓNAdrian’s POVI scanned the grand hall, taking in the chaotic scene. Dominic, the human doctor, stood there like a damn guard dog…shoulders squared, hands clenched tightly at his sides, jaw locked in fury. Behind him, a wide-eyed human girl peeked out timidly, looking like this was her first time stepping onto another planet. She clutched the back of his shirt, pale and overwhelmed.I’d already gotten the full briefing this morning when I asked why the hell my Beta was chained up like a wild animal. Just for following his natural instincts toward his mate. So we are here again? I had to pause the beautiful moment with my queen just to see this?I exhaled heavily, rubbing my temple. Let’s get this over with quickly. I need to finish what I was doing with my wife…preferably with her legs wrapped around me and no interruptions.Before I could even open my mouth to ask what the fresh drama was, Kira stepped forward.Thomas was growling low, fangs fully extended, claws out, looking ready
Adrian’s POVThe knock still hung in the air like an annoying fly I wanted to swat. Kira stirred beneath me, her body shifting as she tried to sit up, already reaching for the sheet to cover herself. Not a chance.I hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her right back down, flush against my chest. “Ignore it,” I whispered hotly into her ear, my voice rough with fresh need.My lips found the sensitive spot on her neck where my mark is, sucking and kissing, tasting the salt of our earlier sweat. Before she could protest, I rolled us so she was straddling me again, her thighs spread wide over my hips, that warm, slick heat of hers pressing right against my quickly hardening cock.She pushed lightly at my shoulders, but there was no real force behind it. “Adrian… I’m the queen. I don’t ignore my people.”I looked up at her, my hands sliding possessively up her sides, and felt a surge of pure pride swell in my chest. Thomas had filled me in this morning…how she’d held the palace tog
Adrian’s POVHell. That’s what it was. Pure, unrelenting hell.I lay there in the late morning light filtering through the curtains, my body still humming from the way I’d taken Kira last night…like a starving beast finally let off its chain. My wolf had surged forward the second we stepped into the room and saw her curled up in our bed, all soft curves and messy hair, breathing peacefully. No control. Just raw need. I’d claimed her hard, fast, desperate, like the mountain journey had stripped away every civilized layer I owned.But now, in the quiet, my mind kept replaying it all. The jagged cliffs I climbed, the freezing winds that cut like knives, the shadows in that godforsaken mountain that whispered my deepest fears back at me. I’d never even heard of the place before the ritual demanded it…some ancient peak where curses like mine were born and could be killed. Elise had been right beside me, steady as stone, but she didn't go up the mountain with me.It was a journey she sa
Kira’s POVThe moment my eyes landed directly on him, the world tilted.Adrian.He sat at the head of the long oak table like he’d never left, broad shoulders filling out his dark shirt, that neat-but-now-slightly-longer dark hair pushed back from his forehead. His council members flanked him…serious faces, papers scattered, the usual morning meeting vibe I've gotten used to in the past week…the only extra thing is that…he's there!Thomas sat right beside him, looking way too pleased with himself, arms crossed, a massive grin splitting his face when he saw me.My stomach dropped. Hard.No. This isn’t real. I’m still dreaming.I rubbed my eyes roughly with both fists, like a kid trying to erase a nightmare. When I opened them again, he was still there. Everyone was staring straight at me. Not moving. Not blinking. Just… watching.A chill raced down my spine. This felt exactly like the first time I’d burst into their meeting room months ago, wearing nothing but Adrian’s oversized shirt
Kira’s POVAdrian stood at the foot of the bed, tall and broad, moonlight silvering the hard lines of his bare chest. His gray eyes burned into mine with that familiar hunger and my heart slammed against my ribs.“Adrian?” I whispered, sitting up.He crawled onto the bed, the mattress shifting under his weight. Real. So real. His hand cupped my face, thumb brushing my lip, and I leaned into the warmth. “I missed you,” he murmured, voice low and rough. “Every damn second.”The kiss started slow, emotional…lips pressing, tasting, his tongue sliding in to claim mine. I moaned into his mouth, hands fisting in his hair. He pushed me back gently, mouth trailing down my neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks. His teeth grazed the spot where his mark was, sending electric jolts straight between my legs.‘If this is the dream I get instead of nightmares,’ I thought hazily, ‘I’m not complaining.’He peeled the nightgown down, exposing my breasts. His mouth closed over one nipple, sucking
Kira’s POVThen, the chaos exploded faster than I could blink. Thomas lunged forward with a snarl that shook the night air, his claws fully extended, eyes glowing that dangerous amber that said his wolf had completely taken the wheel. Dominic shoved Jasmine behind him, his face twisting with pure protective fury as he held his unconscious sister by his side.“You are not touching her!” Dominic roared, planting himself like a shield. “Stay the hell back, beta Thomas!”Thomas didn’t even hear him. He reached beside Dominic, massive hand closing around Jasmine’s wrist. The poor girl chose that moment to wake up only to let out another terrified squeak as he started pulling her toward him, nostrils flaring, teeth bared like he was two seconds from sinking them into her neck right there on the path.“Mine,” he growled, voice distorted, more beast than man.I snapped. “Thomas! That’s enough!”I grabbed his arm, digging my nails in, but it was like trying to stop a freight train. Victor
Kira’s POV The knock came again…three sharp raps that made my heart slam against my ribs. Liana’s face went ghost-white, her fingers still pressed to her lips like she could suck the whole conversation back in.I grabbed her wrist before she could bolt. “We’re not done,” I hissed, low enough that
Kira’s POVMorning came too fast and too bright. Sunlight stabbed through the heavy curtains like it personally wanted to punish me for last night. I sat on the edge of the bed, toes curled tight into the fluffy rug, hands clamped between my knees, eyes glued to the floor like a kid waiting for th
Kira’s POVI froze with the coat still over my arm, the casual vibe in the room suddenly gone ice-cold. Victoria’s voice had dropped to this whisper, like she was about to spill state secrets or confess to murder.“It’s about your personal maid…”She trailed off. Just stood there, lips parted, eyes
Adrian’s POVDerek lunged again, nearly tearing through. I locked my knees to keep from shifting right there in front of the entire council.“Why?” The word scraped out harsher than I meant. “Who’s waiting for you in that camp, Kira?”Her eyes flickered…something raw and private flashing through th
