The hunt is on. The gala will occur in the next chapter and I have a lot planned. It's gonna be good!
Cinnia stared at herself in the mirror in Denzel's room which she felt she could be calling their room but it did not seem quite right just yet. She smoothed down her floor-length dress and turned this way and that, admiring the fitting of the gown that Denzel had insisted a designer make. It was the night of the Charity auction gala and Cinnia's nerves were all over the place. If Denzel's intuition was right, they would be able to find someone from the blood demons, hopefully, their Alpha. She still wasn't exactly sure of what Denzel planned to do once they received the message containing the coordinates and if she were to be honest with herself, some part of her did not want to be aware of it. That part wanted to simply enjoy a night out with her mate without a creepy occurrence or a looming threat to worry about. Cinnia inhaled sharply and let out her breath slowly. She cracked her neck to the side, grabbed her coat, squared her shoulders, and sauntered out of the room to Denzel
Cinnia felt her legs spasm the second Denzel plunged his fingers into her quivering core again. This time, she didn't stop the noises that came."Not an answer to my question, Princess," Denzel continued. He changed the rhythm of his movements as he watched her face, figuring out what made her quake from sheer pleasure while she was fighting a losing battle for control."The...gala...we...oh, please, please, Denzel... Please." Tears seeped from her eyes. Cinnia wrapped an arm around Denzel's neck as the pressure built up in her. This was not her first time with Denzel so she wondered how it could feel so...different.Their first meeting was passion-driven with her having most of the dominance she usually preferred but now, it had slipped out of her hands, and to her dismay, she did not want to do anything about it.Cinnia clenched her walls around Denzel's fingers, wanting more, needing more from him but he was torturing her instead. He would curve his fingers and twist them in agonizi
"Going once, going twice..." The auctioneer paused, glancing around to see if anybody could match Denzel Montgomery's bid. When he found no one, he called out, "Sold to the Lycan king!" He banged his gavel against the sound block. Cinnia clapped along with the others as Denzel set down his number plate. Much of the night had been like that. Pieces of art were brought out and purchased by those who bid the highest, then they would choose the charity organization where they wanted the proceeds to go. Denzel had chosen to donate to a human-owned orphanage since werewolves always took care of their own whether they had parents or not. She noticed how offended he was at the mere mention of the foster care system and how some humans badly treated each other. Cinnia had seen his relationship with his pack. Even the omegas were treated with respect though they were the lowest in rank. The dislike she had felt for all werewolves was diminishing the more she spent time with Denzel. There were
Maverick rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time that day. He found himself doing that more often ever since Cinnia Ramilek appeared in Denzel's life and by extension, his. This time, Cinnia Ramilek was not the direct cause of his misery and frustration but she had a hand in it. Denzel had notified him via text— because the mind-link is not as strong over a wide distance—that he and Cinnia would not be returning that night and so he had to take care of pack duties. It was not a problem. He loved being Beta. What he did not love was being awoken by four a.m. in the morning because a certain witch had decided to show up at the gates. He was still skeptical of Sophie—well, he was skeptical of all witches. They were the same. They were a cunning, malicious bunch that the werewolves had managed to suppress after a long, long time. Yet, with Cinnia's arrival, she had brought one of them along with her and now it was Maverick's problem. "If you are here for Cinnia or the Lycan King, I am
The mark burned at intervals but most of the time, it was numb. Denzel had whisked Cinnia away to a lavish hotel in Renmar, an hour away from Lunar Crest. Cinnia's heart swelled at the way he worshipped the ground she walked on. To her, there had been no need to go to a hotel. She had suggested that they go back to the pack house to inform everyone and think of the next course of action but he had insisted that they get away at least for some time. Denzel had given her a relaxing bath around midnight and held her to his chest through the rest of the night and early morning. Though Cinnia would have preferred they did something a little more exciting than cuddling and listening to a soothing playlist that he had carefully curated from a list of songs that he knew she liked since she always bobbed her head to the beat whenever it was played on the stereo, she had relaxed into his warm embrace and set her mind at ease. The realization that he had quickly become her safe space frighten
Cinnia could scarcely believe her eyes. A million questions raced through her mind at break-neck speed. How was the grey man here? Why was he here? What were his motives for entering Nightfall territory? Was he not aware that he would be killed after questioning? At least, that was what she assumed would happen to him. Yet, try as she might, Cinnia could not figure out a reason for the grey man's actions. So, she decided to see for herself. If the answers won't come to her, then she would have to go get them herself. Just as she was about to trail behind the group that had already departed into the dungeon, a soft hand on her shoulder stopped her. Cinnia flinched at the unexpected contact and whirled around to meet Mya's reproachful gaze. "Jeez, Mya, you scared the shit out of me!" Cinnia whisper-yelled. "Please do not tell me that you're going where I think you are," Mya said, folding her arms under her breasts. "Fine. I won't tell you that I'm going to the very place that
Denzel pinched the bridge of his nose and marched to the door. He yanked it open and roughly dragged both Cinnia and Mya in. "I told you to stay put. What did you not understand by that?" He rebuked. "You cannot—" Not letting her finish, Denzel went on, this time focusing his anger on Mya. "And you! Why did you let her come here? What is wrong with you?" "I tried to stop her..." Mya mumbled, her head bowed. "Why, you must not scold them. Cinnia must have wanted to see her dear brother-in-law. Isn't that right, love?" Elijah directed a dazzling smile at Cinnia but her response was a cold glare. "I wanted to know if you needed any help from me or something. There has to be something I can do. I mean, he of all people is here. He might be more willing to answer any questions you have now that he has seen me. And wait... Brother? What does he mean by that?" Cinnia rambled before ending with a question about the very large elephant in the room. The stench of dried blood permea
They were more difficult than she had anticipated. Especially the insufferable beta, Maverick Montgomery. Why couldn't he be stupid and blindly trusting? It would have made this whole mission so much easier. "Ugh!" Sophie groaned as she punched the bed she lay on over and over again till her fists tired out. At that moment, some movement outside her window caught her eye. Denzel, the Lycan King, the annoyingly handsome Maverick, and two others whom she couldn't place were leading someone whom she felt she should know but couldn't find any memory associated with him. She huffed, rolled over on the bed, and closed her eyes to sleep. Maybe she would have better luck that night or the next morning. She just had to get Cinnia away from Denzel and the other girl, Mya—who stared her down as if she were an insect that needed to be crushed—for an hour at most. Sometime later, a bump against her window roused her from her slumber. The sound was not enough to wake the average person but Sop
