I didn’t think Darren could get more attractive. And then he tells me his childhood dream of going to the moon to meet the Goddess.
Like seriously, that is too adorable. Especially when you add in that Darren’s brothers wanted to go with him and build a ship themselves.
I am looking forward to making a trip to Oregon. I need to see pictures of him as a kid. I bet Darren and his brothers were just too cute. Yeah, not something I’d ever thought I’d be saying.
I mean, I’d love to visit America, but when I’d think of visiting that country, it was for places like NYC, LA, Miami, and Disney World.
But now I want to see Oregon, meet the Delaney family, get all the dirt on Darren, and see all the baby pictures his mamma must have.
‘That trip will have to wait. Not only do we have a war here and then to help your father get things settled with Madonie, but Darren will need to come out to his family. I’m sure that won’t be easy for him
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday. *facepalm* Piero getting André in trouble. Hope no other former lovers are so stupid. Darren or more so Cardinal might not hold back.
I know that cheating hurts. I’ve seen it plenty of times, but I never felt it. And fuck if a quick one-sided kiss hurts that bad. The strength she-wolves like my former Luna Juno had, damn. Respect to them for not killing their mate or themselves. I’ve been injured plenty of times in battle, for my pack, and for my country. But the searing pain I felt deep in my bones when Piero kissed André takes the cake. I don’t know if I could have taken more than that brief moment. Not while still controlling Cardinal. And I nearly lost control of him. I had to pull him back and hold him tight, so he didn’t go after Piero. André didn’t return the kiss and made it clear that it was unwanted and would not be happening again. It didn’t settle Cardinal, so I had to keep trying to reason with him and hold him back. And of course, because I had to focus on my jealous wolf, I managed to upset André. I didn’t want to do that. I’ve managed to hurt and upset my mate fa
Can I just take a moment to say how HOT my mate is? Seriously, just wow. Yes, it’s terrible he had to deal with an Alpha like this Knox person in his birth pack. But the fact he did gave him the best footing to talk to the Madonie wolves. Watching him give that little speech and seeing how his words affected them was all very awe-inspiring. And by awe-inspiring, I mean inspiring me to yank him into an empty room and fuck him. But I’m proud of myself. With the help of Duilio, I held firm and didn’t just publicly attack my mate with kisses and more. I resisted. And it seems Darren isn’t the only one that can get through to these people. They all looked at me with less hate when I told them that their civilians have been unharmed and even cared for. I’m not sure what Ivan’s sister wants to say, but I hope it will be helpful. Ivan was unwilling to talk, though I think a visit to him now will change his mind. To know that Icky I
We’d only gotten around the corner when André asked what I expected him to. “Did you know he was going to do that?” “Yes. Stephen had brought up the idea to Collin and me. I warned him it might not go well. He’s, after all, a stranger to her. And a chosen mate is very different from a fated one. There is no instant spark and pull.” I shrugged. “Instant spark, hmm? Is that what you’re going to call your intense attraction to me?” André teased, nudging me with a smirk on his lips. “I could make sparks if you want.” He winked. I groaned, running a hand over my face. “Can you be professional for five minutes?” I sighed. “I was professional for like twenty minutes back there.” He pointed over his shoulder with his thumb. And yes, while dealing with the Madonie spies, he was professional. “I mean with me. Just because we’re somewhat alone doesn’t mean everything is an innuendo. We have important things to be discussing and
“The pain felt when their mate is even kissed by another is like having fire set to your bones. So imagine the pain a mate feels when the other is having sex with someone else?” I arched an eyebrow as I questioned him “Have you seen the bruises that form? I have.” I hated even thinking about it. “My old Alpha was older but just as horrible as yours. I saw the bruises on my Luna as my mother tried to treat her pain and help her survive it.” “Did you know that the pain can kill? I do because that’s how my birth pack lost our Luna. The pain was so great that her wolf died, and so did she.” I haven’t thought about Luna Juno’s death in several years. But I remember being hurried away from the house, catching a glimpse of my frail and broken Luna lying motionless on the guest bed. “Ignazio is killing your sister slowly by abusing the mate bond. The only saving grace she has is that he didn’t mark her. If he’d marked her, she’d never be able to e
Just when I don’t think Darren could get hotter, he goes and proves me wrong. Cause seriously, who wouldn’t find it hot to have your man not only claim you as his but threaten to cut out someone’s tongue for disrespecting you? Oh, are violent gestures, not your love language? Guess that’s just a D’Amore thing. I digress. Must focus. This is not an easy task with Darren being all sexy growly wolf next to me. The urge to kiss and fuck this man keeps escalating. And by escalating, I mean I’ve started thinking about gross stuff like Ignazio to avoid popping wood. I can have my way with Darren later. Or at least I hope so. He’s all business right now, and it’s hot. And I’m back to my original problem. I told him I could be professional and I was going to be. I want this war over quickly with as minor damage and death as possible. The sooner this war is over, the sooner Darren tells his family about us, and therefore
Somehow I was not surprised that Collin was taking bets. Not a fan that he was betting about me. I’ll be dealing with him later. Right now, I need to ensure Isis’s safety and then go fight. I do worry how many more waves of civilians will Ignazio send before actually sending warriors. Supposedly Gildo has been getting civilians out, so Ignazio will eventually notice what’s happening and be left with his actual warriors to send to fight. I wish we would have Stephen going with us. His ability to detect malice would have helped us know if we faced true enemies or forced enemies. But I think he’s got a more daunting task to deal with than battle. Amelia was at least willing to give us some information. I can hope that she will accept Stephen and his offer. I’m still surprised he made it, but who am I to tell him what to do? I’m not his mother. He can worry about how she’ll take this later. Much like I’ll have to worry about how my par
Finally, Ignazio is taking this war seriously. That or he’s running out of civilians to throw at us. Either way, it’s about time we faced some real opponents. It felt good to actually fight and only hold back enough to not kill. And honestly, a good fight always gets me in the mood. Unlike in the BD era, Before Darren, if you can’t keep up, I don’t have to ponder who I’ll focus my desires on for the night. I’m living in the AD era, which means I just need a place to take my mate. I obviously cannot take him to the villa. Even if Crista wasn’t in heat, I tend to not bring guys home since that first incident of Katrina walking in on us screwing. I can only imagine the ways bringing Darren to the villa could go wrong. I don’t need or want Persephone or Delilah walking in on us.Poor innocent Delilah shouldn’t be subjected to such debauchery as I have in mind. Persephone… eh. She’d make herself a nuisance and be a total cockblocker. And I’m hav
I had already assumed that whatever André had planned, it would not include business. I knew he wouldn’t take me to the villa, and as far as I was aware, he still lived at his father’s villa. Though I didn’t account for him taking me somewhere, that’s not my room at the town hall. I tried to distract my mind from considering where the hell he was taking me by focusing on the things I should be doing, like ensuring Isis’s safety. Of course, he had a better way of distracting me. ‘Fuck yes, he does. I am all for hand job distractions from our mate.’ Cardinal was licking his chops as André stroked my dick. ‘We should be returning the favor.’ Cardinal encouraged.And for once, I actually listened. Safety precautions out the window. Even if part of my logical brain said distracting the driver is a bad idea. I wanted to hear him growling and see him just as affected as I am. When we pulled up to a gate with an Italian sign, I
