LOGINThe way Victoria looked had completely undone him. His grip tightened, his thrusts growing more desperate, almost punishing, as though giving in to a primal need that drowned out reason.He couldn’t stop, didn’t want to stop.Every sound she made, every flicker of movement, only pulled him deeper into that feverish, uncontrollable need that had taken hold of him entirely.But it was actually harder than it seemed to take back control of his desire that had now run wild as he continued to roll his hips in and out."Ugh... Tori... I—I’m sorry, but you started it..." Carlisle groaned, though there wasn’t an ounce of apology in his voice. His grip tightened in her hair as he guided her movements, thrusting deeper into her mouth."Just a little more, baby... I’m so close... too close..." he gasped between ragged breaths, his voice thick with desire. Every muscle in his body tensed; the sensitivity and rush of pleasure were overwhelming, but embarrassment was the last thing on his mind.The
"Ugh!" Carlisle groaned, his head tipping back as the tremor coursed through him, reaching deep inside. Victoria, her hand wrapped around his hard shaft, felt her breath hitch, like the air had been stolen from her lungs.A sudden, irresistible urge bloomed within her, the thought of taking him into her mouth flooding her mind with heat. But before she could act, Carlisle looked down at her. The burning desire in his emerald eyes had deepened, dark and endless like the ocean’s depths."Tori," he said, his voice low and commanding, laced with a dark tease, "put it in your mouth. Didn’t you agree to be my little slut tonight, hmm?"Hearing him, Victoria’s breath caught once more, his words striking her with the same intensity as if he had just read her every thought.The two locked eyes for what felt like an eternity, neither willing to be the first to look away, as if doing so would mean surrender. But with Carlisle towering over her, the advantage was his. Victoria’s gaze wavered firs
Carlisle wanted to pleasure Victoria, to make her his and his alone, to erase every thought of the other two from her mind, even if only for tonight.Part of him told himself it was to help her forget the pain caused by feeling one of her mates being in grave danger to protect her. But another part, the darker, selfish part, just wanted her to himself.It wasn’t unusual for a male werewolf to feel that way; after all, no man wanted to share his woman. And Carlisle, despite knowing her bond was unlike any other, couldn’t help the primal instinct that burned inside him."Answer me..." Carlisle growled, his words edged with a low snarl as he brushed his lips against hers. The teasing contact made Victoria shiver, her lashes fluttering as her breath hitched.He could feel her desire rising, sense that she wasn’t repelled by his commanding tone; if anything, she was surrendering to it, giving him silent permission to take control and drive her wild tonight. The realization sent a fresh wav
Hearing Carlisle’s hoarse voice again, Victoria bit her lip before obediently slipping off her top, then her camisole, until her soft, supple skin was fully revealed. Her perky breasts gave a subtle bounce as she straightened, fingers sliding to the band of her pants.The sight alone made Carlisle’s breath hitch; he didn’t want to miss a single moment. Watching her peel away each piece of clothing, his jaw tightened, excitement bubbling in his chest.He shifted slightly where he sat, his eyes darkening as they roamed over every curve of her body.Under Carlisle’s intense gaze, Victoria’s hands trembled, heat pooling low in her core as her inner walls clenched in anticipation. It was as if the earlier pain had never existed; she’d long forgotten it.Slowly, she slid her pants down, letting them fall around her feet. When she looked up, Carlisle was holding his breath, his hands clenched tight. Seeing him like that sent a delicious churn through her stomach, her body responding instinct
Carlisle’s restless hand moved to the back of Victoria’s head, his fingers tangling in her hair as he held her close, refusing to let her pull away. He deepened the kiss, swallowing her muffled moans, which was a tangled mix of pain and pleasure that made his control waver."Stop thinking about everything else," he murmured against her lips, his voice low and rough. "Focus on me... I’ll make you forget everything soon."With that, he guided her legs around his waist and rose from where they had been under the tree. Still kissing her hungrily, his hands roamed over her body, possessive yet careful, grounding her with every touch.He began walking away from where the others could see them, heading toward the river where the sound of flowing water mingled with their heavy breaths.There, at the rocky bend of the stream, a secluded spot perfect for bathing, Carlisle let his Alpha aura unfurl. It spread like a silent warning through the air, a powerful force that would drive away monsters
He knew that if he confirmed her fears and admitted that he also suspected one of her other mates was in danger, Victoria would take off without hesitation. That was exactly what he wanted to avoid.Although he had told her about seeing Marcus and overhearing parts of his schemes, he had deliberately withheld the full truth, specifically Marcus’s plan to target the Golden Hue Pack and the night attack.He knew Victoria’s hatred for Marcus ran just as deep as his own, as well as Sylas’s and Maxwell’s. If she had known Marcus would be making a move, she would never have agreed to leave with the first batch of evacuees. She would have stayed behind to lay an ambush for him herself.Carlisle pursed his lips as he looked at Victoria. He didn’t want to confirm her suspicion because he wasn’t sure what she might do afterward. He knew all too well how far a mate’s protectiveness could go, after all, he was the same when it came to Victoria.So, he could only assume that if she found out eithe
Victoria's POV Raquel didn't need to complete her statement. The unspoken words hung in the air, allowing everyone to fill in the blanks with their own assumptions. Speculation spread like wildfire through the hall. What Raquel truly wanted was for everyone to believe that, as Carlisle’s curren
Tori’s POV As instructed, I put on something nice, a dress I had been holding onto, hoping for the day I could wear it in front of Alpha Carlisle, sharing a quiet dinner together. I never imagined that day would come so soon. After washing up and dressing, I applied light makeup to conceal the exh
Tori’s POV The next day, the sun glaringly pierced through the curtains. I couldn't remember when I had fallen asleep the night before, but as far as I recalled, I dozed off in the woods after crying the entire night. But now... I looked around and saw that I was back in the Alpha suite. I was
Tori’s POV I immersed myself in my work, hoping it would help numb the pain slowly consuming my heart. As night descended, no one reached out to me or even sent a mindlink, leaving me feeling utterly isolated, as if I had been cut off from everyone. But I pushed those thoughts aside and focused o
