Mag-log inThere, in the hot water, Fin let her peel back every hard layer war had built around him.
And when she straddled him, smiling, he could no longer hold back the part of him that wanted to claim her completely.
"Fuck, I'm in love with you."
"I love you too, Fin."
There, in the hot water, Fin let her peel back every hard layer war had built around him.And when she straddled him, smiling, he could no longer hold back the part of him that wanted to claim her completely."Fuck, I'm in love with you.""I love you too, Fin.""Mine. Mate." He kissed her between each word, then shoved his tongue into her mouth, deepening it instantly.Before she could catch her breath, he thrust up hard, forcing every thick inch of his cock inside her in one brutal stroke.She winced. A sharp burn flared between her legs as he forced his thick cock even deeper, stretching her already sore
Absolutely not.Nothing on this continent was going to keep him from following her tonight.Xeon:I don't like this. It is odd that you can't come and she's being that insistent.Fin:Nothing is going to keep me away from her. Nothing.Xeon: Why not let Aeron make a portal if it's going to be a run? This is stupid.Fin: I want Nova to tell me things.Elle's pushing too hard. There better be a damn good reason.Xeon: Seraphine says Nova weakens when she's not n
"That was a lot."Cael blew out a long breath and leaned back, rolling his neck.Nova swallowed, composed. Fin squeezed her hand, thumb tracingcircles on her knuckles."Did they say how I would die?" Cael's knuckles were white on his glass, but his tone was the practiced calm of a Beta.Jax's arms tightened across his chest. His weight shifted against the wall."No."Cael's mouth pulled sideways. He took a drink. Longer than necessary.She remembered that fortune teller from months ago. Her eyes went wide for a second. She didn't say anything, butshe definitely needed to flag that with Elle.
Nova downed all three tonics in one gulp. Rapid succession. Like a damn pro.Jax's brows lifted. The Nova he knew would have argued with Elias for ten minutes first.Fin was attempting to drink his tonic, face pinching with every sip, while Elias put ointment on his back."Nova, how did you drink this in one gulp?"He looked down at his own glass, then at her empty ones. Then set his down like it had personally offended him."Line of shots next time we go out. Nova versus Elle versus Marra," Cael said. Elle rolled her eyes and playfully pushed him.Color started to come back into her face
Fin sprinted back to his room with Nova. He could feel her and knew she wasn't doing well."Hang on, baby. Almost there."His mind was racing with everything he had just heard.Once they were back in his quarters, the second he put Nova down, she sprinted to their large bathing room. He followed her. She tried to push him away, not wanting him to see her get sick."I am not going anywhere.Sorry. No. There's no way in hell."Before she could respond she turned and threw up into the toilet. All red. Blood.Fin's stomach twisted. She continued hurling for ten minutes.
Mark the Alpha King before tomorrow's sunset.He will remain unconscious for seven days.Fin's weight shifted forward onto the balls of his feet. Seven days. His mate alone. His jaw set like iron.Before that same sun sets, gather every blade named: Gamma, Beta, Beta Luna, & Alpha.Attend the emergency High Council summit in his stead.Wear your crown. Hold your ground. Do not invade yet.There is another path—clearer, stronger. You will see it. You will speak it.Jax's spine straightened. His body reacted before his brain did. He was already strategizing for her.
"...You good?"Fin slowly turned his head, expression blank, hollow, and vaguely murderous."Do I look good to you."Jax snorted. "No. You look like you're about to declare war."Fin inhaled sharply through his nose — the kind of inhale a man takes when he's restraining himself from breaking furnit
Jax's eyes flashed gold, wolf rising so violently the air thickened. "Get them off."The guard scrambled for protective gloves and unlocked the cuffs as fast as his shaking hands allowed. The metal dropped to the floor with a hiss.Jax didn't loosen his hold on her. He stood with her still cradled
Warmth.That was the first thing she felt. Soft furs beneath her knees. A heartbeat.Nova stirred slightly, the ache in her ribs was a dull hum now. Her cheek was pressed against the slope of someone's chest.Her entire body was draped over his.Chest to chest. Legs tangled. His arms wrapped firmly
Lisa Rellane's hands were already shaking before she crossed the threshold. Lieutenant Blackhart escorted her in. Her gaze stayed fixed on the floor, her fingers twisted in her apron like she was trying to wring courage out of the fabric."Sit," Fin said.She obeyed so fast the chair screeched.Fin'
