LOGINHenry couldn't keep his mind focused on the road as he rode. He kept thinking about Chase Castle and everything that had happened.Damn it. Lance was now the Supreme Alpha. Even if it was only temporary, Henry wanted to throw up.He was furious about the whole situation, and for about three hours now, he had been imagining killing Lance in cruel and extremely satisfying ways. But for now, he followed what James had said.They couldn't do anything against Lance now, not without putting Helena's safety at risk. He knew her secret, and not even they could protect her from the laws of the Island.Of course, Henry was in favor of killing him before he had the chance to tell anyone, before he went through the Supreme Alpha ritual where he would receive the iron chain. Once the leaders took the oath, Lance would gain an enormous amount of power, even if only partially. With the oaths of the other Alphas, the Supreme Alpha received tremendous powers.The first to discover the power of the Alp
Helena felt herself being pulled along and allowed herself to be carried away by that mysterious and surprising wave of pleasure his fingers caused inside her. She closed her eyes and lost herself in those intoxicating waves of lust. Her heart was pounding, not from fear. She was far from that now. She was floating through the unfamiliar territory that was James Turner. She pushed herself forward, moving her hips upward, wanting more of him inside her.Suddenly, she felt him withdraw his fingers, and for a moment, she regretted it—until she felt his moist lips kissing her, touching her, savoring her.She gasped, her legs trembling from the pleasure that invaded and overwhelmed her. She ended up closing her legs in response to the sensations that were becoming so overpowering. She felt his hands opening her legs. Although they were firm and rough, she realized he wasn't forcing her open but guiding her to do so, gently."Open yourself for me, beautiful."She gasped and opened herself,
Her words set him ablaze, making him intoxicated by her. James inhaled and moved his hips, pressing himself against the inside of her thighs. Her gray eyes gazed at him, while her hands held the face of that incredibly handsome man. James kept one arm braced against the bed and lowered his other hand to her thigh, caressing it at first, feeling the softness of her skin, its silky smoothness. Then he slid his hand behind her knees, using both hands to lift her leg higher. Helena already had her legs wrapped around James's waist, and when he pulled her closer, she felt the strength of his erection.Their lips touched, and a powerful energy coursed through them. James felt the overwhelming need to possess her tearing him apart. He moved his hips more, rubbing himself against her, and savored those sweet lips as a wave of pleasure and need consumed him.He needed to be inside her as soon as possible, but he wasn't going to rush it.Helena felt the pressure of James's erection, stretching
When she held James's hand in the darkness, she felt the warmth radiating from him, a comforting warmth, even though her heart was still racing.James gently squeezed her hand and slowly pulled her toward him. Helena did not resist, even though her body had begun trembling on its own.James wrapped his arms around her, letting his hand move down her long hair, feeling the silkiness of the strands as he inhaled her scent. The fragrance of her hair was wonderful and filled his nostrils. For a moment, he felt intoxicated by her. He had spent far too long imprisoned, and his needs as a man were roaring inside him. He had to make a tremendous effort to remain still, not to throw her onto the bed and possess her with all the strength he had. His heart was already beating fast enough, and he feared that she was afraid of him.He was aware that he could never give her what her Alpha had given her. He could never calm her heart and make her surrender herself to it as he certainly had. But deep
James could unfortunately see Helena in his peripheral vision, the rounded curves of her breasts beneath the silk, the outline of her slender waist making her a true work of art. He caught the scent of her skin, like flowers.He watched the sway of her hips as Helena walked toward him, her black hair cascading down her back. The silk nightgown was very thin, making it possible to see the entire outline of her body.His erection was immediate, and James felt terribly guilty about it. He closed his eyes, avoiding looking at her.He pressed the pillow more firmly against his groin and felt its weight as she sat down beside him. He still kept his eyes closed, but James knew he had to say something, so he gathered his courage and opened his eyes. Reluctantly, he looked at her.And at that moment, James agreed with the Elder. Her beauty was breathtaking, red lips, rounded breasts, and skin like silk. Yet when he looked more closely into her gray eyes, he saw the sadness within them.What wo
When Helena felt James's arms wrap around her, she felt as though she were going to faint. She could feel his lips against hers, and although she had been the one to take the initiative, doing it to humiliate Lance and send him a message, she felt utterly miserable. Missing John hurt deeply.They pulled apart."I wonder when this romance happened," Lance remarked. With one last look at Helena, he left.Lee looked at the two of them."I know that you love John, and I know that you, James, are loyal to him, but I am going to be very clear with you both. I know what you are, and I know what John has. I spent all this time deciding whether I should kill you or not, but I gave up on the idea. It would do John no good. If you want to drive the suitors away..." The Elder then looked at James. "Sleep with her. Mark her with your essence."James released me."Don't say such things, Elder. Helena has already been through so much," Lee warned.Lee looked at Helena, and she saw how sympathetic hi
