LOGINChapter 48My breath caught. "What?""You heard me." His voice dropped to that commanding Alpha tone that made my knees weak. "Raise that pretty dress and turn around. Face the wall. I want to see your ass.""Kade, we can't—""I'm going to fuck you in the ass," he continued, his eyes burning into mine with an intensity that stole my breath. "I'm going to make sure you're shaking by the time we get to that event. Make sure every step you take reminds you of who you belong to."My whole body trembled, heat and fear and desperate need warring inside me. He couldn't be serious. This was insane. His family was just outside. We were supposed to be at a festival. Valencia was waiting for us.But the look in his eyes told me he was completely serious.I watched in stunned silence as he started unbuckling his belt, the leather sliding through the loops with a sound that made my core clench. He wasn't even fully undressing, was just opening his pants enough to free himself."I want to fuck you
Chapter 46Elowen's POVI glared at him, my heart already starting to race with anxiety. "What's wrong?"His jaw was tight, his eyes fixed on something outside that I couldn't see. "Get out."My mouth fell open in shock. "What?""Daddy?" Valencia's small voice piped up from beside me, confusion written all over her face. "Why does Miss Ellie have to get out?""It's nothing, sweetheart." His voice softened when he spoke to her, but there was still an edge to it that made my skin prickle with fear. "Kai will take you both to the event. I'll meet you there in a few minutes."My mind immediately went into overdrive, spinning through every possible scenario. Did I do something wrong? Did he find something on my phone? Did he somehow figure out I was texting with C.rogue? Or worse, did Ryker already tell him what I was? Did he know I was a rogue from Dead Fangs Pack?Oh God, this was it. This was how I died. Not from Magnificent's torture, not from Elena's schemes, but from Kade finally dis
Chapter 44Elowen's POV"Wait," he called after me, his voice carrying that Alpha command that made most people freeze in their tracks.But I didn't stop. I couldn't. My feet kept moving, carrying me away from him as fast as my injured body would allow. I didn't even know why I was acting this way, why his presence made me want to scream and cry and hit something all at once. He'd helped me, hadn't he? Saved me from Donovan's auction house, fucked me senseless in his mansion, made me feel wanted and desired.Only to casually introduce me to his fiancée like I was nobody. Like I meant nothing.Which I didn't. I knew that. So why did it hurt so damn much?"Hey." His hand caught my arm, gentle but firm, and I had no choice but to turn around. Those silver eyes searched my face, concern etched into every line of his stupidly handsome features. "I heard what happened. Are you okay?"The question was so absurd I almost laughed. Was I okay? I'd been tortured, accused of attempted murder, nea
Chapter 44Elowen's POVThe mansion was drowning in chaos, and somehow I was at the center of it all. What should have been a simple vindication, a clearing of my name, had turned into something bloody and terrifying. I'd always known Kade was ruthless, that he ruled with an iron fist and didn't tolerate disrespect or betrayal. But hearing the screams echoing through the halls, seeing the fear in everyone's eyes as his orders were carried out with brutal efficiency—I'd never been more terrified in my entire life.My mother's warnings rang in my ears like church bells. Stay away from him, Elowen. He's dangerous. He'll destroy you. Louise had said the same thing, begged me to quit, to run before it was too late. And they were right. My life was hanging by a thread. Today I'd almost died, almost been executed for a crime I didn't commit, almost had my skin burned off and my back flayed open until there was nothing left but meat and bone.But how the hell do you stay away from a man who f
Kade’s povHer breasts filled my hands perfectly, and I squeezed them roughly, pinching her nipples between my fingers until she cried out. But it wasn't a cry of pain—it was pleasure, raw and undeniable."Kade," she moaned, her body arching into my touch. "Kade, please—"I kissed down her neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks, needing everyone to see that she was mine. "Why did you leave the fucking bed last night?" I growled against her throat. "You should have stayed. You should have stayed with me where you were safe.""I did stay," she panted, her hands clutching at my shoulders. "It was Magnificent who came and dragged me out. But you'll never believe me anyway. You'll always doubt me, always question—""What do you want, Elowen?" I pulled back to look at her, my hand sliding down her body to cup her pussy. She was already wet, already ready for me despite everything she'd been through. "Tell me what you want."My palm slapped against her wet heat, and she jerked, a broken mo
Chapter 42Kade's POVI was sick and tired of the entire fucking circus. Sick of Magnificent's theatrics, sick of the accusations, sick of the chaos that seemed to follow wherever Elowen went. But underneath all that exhaustion and frustration was something far more visceral, far more terrifying.Fear.Pure, gut-wrenching fear for my daughter.I took the stairs to Valencia's room two at a time, my heart hammering against my ribcage like it was trying to break free. The doctor was just stepping out when I reached her door, and the look on his face made my blood run cold."How is she?" My voice came out rough, desperate."She's stable, Alpha. Her werewolf bloodline is incredibly strong—stronger than most children her age. The wolfsbane didn't affect her the way it should have. She'll be fine."The relief that crashed over me was so intense I had to brace myself against the doorframe. "Thank fuck," I breathed.I pushed into her room quietly, not wanting to disturb her if she was sleeping
