Rufus chortled as Everleigh sat naked and examined herself in the mirror specifically designed for the ceremonial mating. She scowled when she saw no wounds, simply two bite marks on the flesh of her neck. "It was a spur of the moment, love. You know I can't hurt you." Rufus gave Everleigh a languid and contented smile. He is overcome with emotion as he looks fondly at her. He wanted to grieve for the years they had wasted. She continued to scrutinize her neck before turning to face him, her eyes wide with shock. Rufus can't wait to see what she's thinking. "Am I going to become a vampire?" She exclaimed, returning her sight to the mirror. "But I can see you in the mirror. You are not a vampire. What are you now?" He sat and held her from behind. "I am your mate, your guardian, your soulmate, your happiness and you are mine completely." He'd never desired a woman as much as he did Everleigh, nor had he ever been so satisfied with one. He was a tremendous fool to take her for gran
Rufus watched Everleigh sleep beside him, her long golden copper hair spread across his pillow as he had imagined it a dozen times. She was lying on her side, her back to him, the sheet bunched below her perfect little ass. He silently chuckled. She wanted to explore her sexuality. During their mating seclusion, he had given her a few preliminary lessons. But he had let her off easy. He remembered the day she came into his castle. Reserved, cold, but stunning. His heartbeat slammed into his chest. She was so beautiful that his heart squeezed. He had never met anyone like her. He never would again; it’s their nature. He wasn't good with her. He cheated on her numerous times. He stared down at his mate. He took advantage of her, but she refused to let go. She withstood everything he hurled at her. Then she vanished. It was too late for him; he recognized he couldn't avoid their inherent need for a mate. Richard Griswold and Rujan repeatedly told him that he was a fool. He lost his gem
Rujan was still unconscious. Rufus left Everleigh in their mating tower, still sleeping. He didn’t plan to ruin their seven-day mating seclusion, even with his brother’s interference. Looking at him right now, he is pale and looks horrible. He can’t find himself hating him for what he's done to him and Everleigh. His brother was the opposite of him. His boyish looks complemented his easy-going personality. He was approachable and always had a ready smile for everyone. No wonder, in the short period of time when Everleigh stayed in the castle seven years ago, they became friends. It felt ill to see him like this. What was happening to you, Rujan? In fact, Everleigh made friends with Rujan’s friends too. The son of the school director and even to her ex-boyfriend, who was Rujan’s friend. They had this kind of bond that he was often jealous of. He wanted Everleigh’s attention for himself, and the sense of possessiveness was new to him. Their father kicked him out of the castle for an u
Rufus frowned when she was thinking about protection. She was worried. Her memories of her taking good care of their triplets are her thoughts. Rufus growled as a feeling of guilt rushed through his body. He wished he was there for her. Changing nappies, feeding their sons and taking them to the park. The memories suddenly stopped, replaced by doubts, and the feeling of uncertainty was shown by her questioning look. She was trying to read him when he changed his mood and growled at her. Rufus smiled at her and kissed her forehead. “What are you thinking, love? ” “Nothing,” she lied. Rufus wanted her to be open to him and tell him anything, but it takes time, and he will do anything to trust him. In the meantime, reading her mind was enough to see to her wellbeing. His mate stretched and her sleepwear top taut across her breasts. Predictably, his body tightened in a spasm of hunger. Rufus thought of their slow, languorous early morning lovemaking, of the wonder in her eyes as he br
A tall, sexy, and beautifully blond woman was waiting for them in the main living room. All they did in the tower was make love numerous times a day. In fact, they had made love again this morning after she came out of the shower. Upon seeing her, Rufus growled and took to the wall while standing. Thinking of it, her body reacted.As if reading her mind, Rufus chuckled but scowled when he saw the woman.Her warm brown eyes were filled with happiness, and as Everleigh and Rufus drew near, she rushed forward to fling herself upon Rufus and kiss him longer and more lovingly than seemed proper for even married couples.The man resisted the woman's advances with his arms spread, casting a brittle glance at Everleigh. The woman was taken aback by his coolness and hugged his arm close to her bosom before turning to face Everleigh. The two women exchanged hostile glances for a brief moment.“So, you’re back? What now? ”Everleigh concluded that the woman knew her. She can’t remember her. But
Everleigh frowned. She knew there’s something about Rufus; she bet she never expected him to be like this. Killing the family of his ex-lover? Why? Was he so tired of Janice that he punished her family to the extent of killing them? With her hands shaking, she raised her head and looked into Rufus’ eyes. Rufus sighed with exasperation, as if he were frustrated. “How many times have I told you, Everleigh, I can’t hurt you? You are the mother of my children. Janice’s committed an unforgivable crime against me and my pack.” She didn’t say a word but just nodded. Still, killing them was too much, she said to herself. To her consternation, she can't find any disgust in it. Was it mean, her feeling for Rufus was so deep that, she accepted him or his killer nature? She must be insane. Rufus stared at her, and his face became serious all of a sudden. He was scowling and thinking deeply. "Soon, Everleigh, you will understand everything. All I asked was for you to trust me." She nodded and u
Rufus groaned. “Don’t think about that bitch. There’s an urgent matter. I need to attend to.” He rasped. His cock slid exquisitely against her, seating him fully, his pelvis brushing hers.“Shall I try again?” The male voice asked. Rufus leaned his full weight on her and the door, his legs braced, his head beside hers, and his forehead against the wood of the door. She was spread wide, helplessly open, and impaled upon his strong flesh, waiting to see if they’d be discovered. The door gave another shudder, actually opening a crack.Rufus lunged into her hard and slammed the door back shut. Hero closed her eyes, close, so close, to ecstasy. Remember to kill that scout after this.“Damn me, we’ll find another room, shall we?” The man said. Footsteps tromped away. He didn’t move, holding her up, still impaled, still arched against him. They breathed together, their chests moving as one.Slowly
Everleigh was tired, hungry, and drenched when they reached Griswold Castle. It was raining so heavily that she almost lost her way. Rujan called her in the middle of the night to pack and leave their house. She packed as fast as she could and woke up her sons.Rafael, the eldest of her triplets, woke up and sensed something was wrong. He followed her instructions quietly and woke his other siblings. Radzim protested, but when he heard the urgency of his brother’s voice, he followed him immediately. Raiden was a sleeper, so she decided to carry him and instructed the two boys to carry the handbags to her pickup truck. She had already placed the luggage behind the car.She traveled for two days across the border. Her three boys, all five, never complained during their journey. They just asked her if they wanted to use the restroom. They were used to this kind of setup. Rujan told her that she lost her memories because of the bad guys who were after them.He instructed her to go to his
