I breathed deeply and let out a soft sigh of relief. It felt like everything else I needed to do would be so much easier now that she was dead. Candido couldn’t be distracted anymore. He would only be able to see me. He would only love me, and anyone who tried to change his mind would have to deal with me.I turned back, unable to hide how happy I was, but no one else seemed to be excited or even close to happy. I guess it would take a while for everyone else to shake the enchantments Estella had put on them. It was probably in all of the medical supplies she’d made.I was so lucky that I hadn’t used much of it. Though, maybe it was just because I was stronger than the others. I was a golden wolf after all.I walked through the cave and out to where they had all set up a small camp. People were slumped over, clutching their wounds. Others, the vampires that had come with Peter and the few vampires that had been with Estella were tending people. As I looked around, I realized that a lo
I bristled at the question.“Is that what she told you? Doesn’t that just prove that she was just trying to poison you against me? She was trying to keep us apart, but she’s gone now.”I took his hands and tried to pull them around my waist but he pulled his hands away from me.“... why did you say she attacked you?”“Because she did,” I said pulling at his arm. “She attacked me again on the truck. She was going to push me off and—”“Why didn’t you go back when I told you to?”“I wanted to be at your side. Doesn’t that mean anything to you? Shouldn’t you want your mate at your side?” I dug my fingers into his arm, refusing to let go of him even as he stood and tried to pull away. “Can’t you see that I’m just trying to prove that I’m your luna?”“What happened to Vanessa?” He asked, his voice growing softer.“Stop asking me questions and answer mine!”“What happened to Apollo?”I growled. “That doesn’t matter--”“What happened to Dune?”“I said stop asking—”“What does she have to do w
Just five…I got to my feet and headed back to camp. I sat on the edge of the camp, deep in thought. Wren would be the hardest. Whatever connection he had to the Moon Goddess meant that he likely knew I was planning to kill him. The other four I had a good idea about. One was the man who had stopped me from killing Estella. He was covered in so many bandages that I was almost sure that he was going to die on his own. If not, I could probably find another way to get rid of him. He was probably the easiest.Then, there were three others: the man that had nearly attacked me named Harper, the man who had been crying, and the woman who had comforted him. I didn’t know anything about them, so my best bet was to try and find out who they were. It would be best if I could get one of the vampires to kill them. If not, I would have to catch each of them off guard. Maybe I could get my hands on a gun and shoot them in the middle of another battle. It wouldn’t be hard. I had almost shot Estella;
He would come back just to try and get in the way of it. Now that Estella was gone, he would remember that we’re mates, and we could get back to the way we were before when all he cared about was me. When he doted on me and loved me when he wanted me. I could imagine wearing that white dress again, and this time it actually being for our wedding. The way he’d smile at me, how happy he would make me for the rest of my life.I sat on the edge of a large rock. He pulled out a box of medicine that didn’t look like what he usually used, then he started to wash all the scrapes I had. His hands were so warm. His fingertips skimmed over my skin in an almost ticklish way. Then, I thought about what he’d done to me in Lunae. The passion and heat that he’d kissed me with. The way he’d made me cry out for him in that alleyway. The way he’d made me melt. My heart started to speed up, and I felt warm all over. I wanted him to do it again. I wanted more. As he reached my chest, I saw in his eyes tha
“Cillian, that’s so good,” I gasped.I moaned as he tore his lips away and dropped his lips to my chest. I felt his tongue glide across my skin, and his head lowered until he sucked my nipple into his mouth. It was so good it was almost painful. I arched up against his mouth. Then, there was a sharp prick of sensation, and pleasure rushed through me. I shuddered and gasped, wrapping my arms around him, trying to hold him there as he sucked and thrust his hips against mine. He pulled back and thrust his hands between my thighs. My heart skipped a beat, and I started to squirm.“Cillian,” I gasped. He covered my mouth with his hand, hushing me.“You don’t want to draw much more attention, do you?” Cillian asked, pressing his palm against me and stroking me with his fingers. “I told you just enough, hm?”I shuddered. What did that mean? How much was just enough? Would it be enough? I thought I heard rustling in the bushes or something nearby from the camp, but I couldn’t focus on it when
He headed towards the figure in the woods, and I headed toward the direction he’d gestured towards. The pleasure still hummed in my veins, but I did want more. More than that, the anticipation of how jealous Candido would be made me throb. I felt like I was getting wetter with every step.I walked for a few minutes before I found him. There was a great wall of darkness in front of him. He faced it, staring into it. At least, that’s what it looked like. I was close enough that I knew he could smell me, but he didn’t turn around. I approached him, about to call out to him when he spoke.“I am glad to hear it,” he said. “What about Wolf Fang and Mountain Cliff?”My eyes widened, and I held back from calling out to him, listening. He started to pace, but he didn’t seem to notice me, or maybe he didn’t care that I was there. And he shouldn’t. I was his mate. We were going to rule Full Moon together. I should know everything he does about the status of the werewolf world. I almost smiled, k
“Where is he going?”“To rally with the rest of the remaining werewolves to come up with a plan and try to make a final stand… at least that’s what he said he’s doing.”“I’ll go with him—” I broke off and looked at Cillian. “On…second thought, will you take me to Wolf Fang?”He cocked an eyebrow. “What do I get out of it?”My stomach jolted, and my heart raced. Was this the point that he’d ask me for sex? Would it be so bad? It felt so good the way he touched me, the feeling of his fingers inside me. Wouldn’t it be like that but more? Would we have sex before we left? Heat pooled in my gut at the thought. Candido had sex before we found each other. He wasn’t even talking to me right now. The jealousy he would have to feel knowing that I had slept with Cillian would definitely be enough to make him come around and break whatever enchantment Estella still had on him.“You… want me to sleep with you?”He laughed. My face heated. “I’m not inexperienced enough to not know how to seduce a w
“You think you can keep it from me,” I said, meeting his gaze. “You’re wrong. I’ll find it before you will.”Peter didn’t respond. His expression didn’t change, but his eyes glowed softly with red light. There was a twitch in his jaw that seemed like he wanted to say something, but he was holding it back.“I’ll take your silence,” I said and smirked. “Seems like you already know that you can’t win against me.”Peter blinked. Then, he closed his eyes, and a shield of light circled around him. I flinched at the show of power. It felt hot as if it would burn me if I got closer. I crossed my arms as we rode. Cillian didn’t look back. If he heard anything, or if he was paying attention, I didn’t know, but I looked up at him and wondered what it would take for him to tell me anything and everything he knew about the Heart of the Moon.“Cillian,” I said. “What do you—”“Quiet,” he said sharply, drawing a blade from his belt.My face flushed as we headed out of the forest and into the mountai
