The moment his eyes landed on me dark, unreadable, burning with something I couldn't name. I should have turned around and fled. Forgotten the sheets. Slept on the bare mattress. Anything but this but my feet were rooted to the floor.

He just stood there, shirt still tangled around his arms, watching me like I was the one who'd done something wrong.

Which….technically, I had.

"The sheets," I managed, voice coming out embarrassingly breathless. "I just……,I left them here earlier. When I made your bed." He tilted his head.

"You made my bed." It wasn't a question.

"I….yes. The servants were busy and you'd just come back from the fight and” I was rambling. Stop rambling. "It doesn't matter. I'll just grab them and go."

I moved toward the bed, refusing to look at him, refusing to acknowledge the heat crawling up my neck. The sheets were folded neatly at the foot of his bed of course they were, because I'd folded them myself and I grabbed them, clutching them to my chest like a shield.

When I turned, he was closer. He reached out, and before I could flinch away, his fingers caught my chin. Tilting my face up. Forcing me to meet his eyes. I hated how much I felt it.

"You barged into my chambers," he said, thumb brushing along my jaw. "You saw me undressed. And now you're running."

"I'm not running."

"You're always running." His grip tightened to remind me he was stronger. That he could hold me here if he wanted.

"I'm not your enemy, Winora."

"Then what are you?" The question hung between us as his eyes dropped to my mouth. I stopped breathing.

He was going to kiss me. I could feel it the shift in the air, the way his body leaned into mine, the heat rolling off him in waves. My heart slammed against my ribs. My hands tightened on the sheets.

His thumb traced my lower lip. I made a sound that sounded a lot like surrender.

He released me as Stepped back His expression shuttered, cold and unreadable like someone had flipped a switch. He grabbed a shirt from the chair beside him when had he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist with deliberate, unhurried movements.

"Take your sheets," he said flatly. "And leave." I blinked.

"What?" You heard me." The warmth was gone. The almost kiss was gone. In its place was the Alpha distant, commanding, untouchable.

"Get out, Winora." I didn't move.

"Now." I stumbled backward, sheets clutched to my chest, and fled.

~~~~~~~

The door slammed behind me. I leaned against the wall, chest heaving, skin burning.

What the hell was that?

He'd almost kissed me. I know he almost kissed me and then he'd just... stooped..

What am I doing? I pressed my hand to my chest, willing my heart to slow.

What is he doing to me? And the worst part wasn't the rejection. It was the fact that I wanted more.

I wanted him to finish what he started. I wanted to feel his mouth on mine, his hands in my hair, his body pressed against me until I forgot my own name.

Stop it.

I’m

I pushed off the wall, practically running to my room, sheets trailing behind me like a bridal train I had no right to wear.

I threw myself onto my bed stared at the ceiling. His thumb had been there. His skin. His heat.

Was Fenrir really turning me on? I squeezed my eyes shut.

Dear goddess, yes and I had no idea what to do about it.

  • The Lycan King’s Plus Size Treasure.   Chapter 26: The Luna Nobody Expected

    The first thing I did after Fenrir disappeared behind the council chamber doors was check whether the guard was still outside my room as I searched my belongings for the silver ring my mother had left me. It was gone. I checked beneath the mattress, inside my drawers, and even between the pages of the book I'd been reading before Fenrir came to my room the previous night. Someone had left the ring at the eastern gate. Someone had known enough about my mother to send a warning to the Alpha. And Fenrir had recognized the symbol engraved inside it. What frightened me most wasn't that a stranger knew about my past. It was that Fenrir knew something I didn't. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the pendant resting against my palm. The crescent moon and four tiny stars glimmered in the morning light. “Who were you, Mama?” I whispered. She had died when I was young, leaving me with more questions than memories. I'd spent years suffering under my step mother. Instead, here I

  • The Lycan King’s Plus Size Treasure.   Chapter 25: The Surrogate Who Refused to Bow

    Winora’s POV“Are you going to disobey?” Fenrir’s voice brushed against my ear, low and threatening.I stood frozen between his arms, my back pressed against the wall, staring at the man who had somehow become both the source of my fear and the reason my heart refused to behave.His mismatched eyes held mine. Neither offered me a hint of the man who had almost kissed me before pushing me away as though I meant nothing to him. I hated that I remembered that moment.I hated that I still wondered what would have happened if he hadn't stopped Most of all, I hated that he could stand this close to me and still make me feel utterly unwanted.“Yes,” I whispered.His expression hardened. “What did you say?”“I said yes. I will disobey you.” For a moment, neither of us moved as fenrir slowly straightened.“You should be careful with your words, Winora.”“And you should be careful with your demands.” His jaw clenched. I knew I was pushing him. Every instinct screamed at me to lower my eyes, apo

  • The Lycan King’s Plus Size Treasure.   Chapter 24: The Elders' Decree

    Fenrir's POV The council chamber smelled of old parchment, burnt wood, and the suffocating weight of tradition. I stood at the head of the long oak table, fists planted on the surface, staring down six of the oldest, most insufferable lycans in the pack. "The bloodline must be secured," Elder Thorne rasped, his voice like gravel scraping against bone. "The ritual was a formality. The magic ensured the child would take. But the act itself, the physical union must be performed to solidify the bond between sire and surrogate. It is tradition. It is law." "The child is already conceived," I said flatly. "The surrogate is pregnant. The line is secure." "The line is half secure," Elder Morwen countered, her sharp eyes glittering. "The child grows, but the pack grows restless. They whisper that their Alpha refuses to claim his surrogate. That he is weak. That he cannot perform his most basic duty." My wolf stirred, a low growl rumbling in my chest. They dare question us? "The p

    Fenrir's POVThe door slammed behind her, and I stood there like a fucking statue, towel wrapped around my waist, cock hard enough to cut glass, and my wolf howling in my skull like a lovesick pup.“You let her go” my wolf purred.Shut up.“She was right there. Her scent……goddess, her scent like rain on wildflowers…” I said shut up.I dragged a hand down my face, trying to will my body back under control but It didn't work. Nothing worked not when it came to her.Winora, Her name alone was a splinter under my skin. She'd barged into my chambers like she belonged there like I belonged to her and I'd nearly ruined everything. Nearly pinned her against the wall, dragged those sheets from her trembling hands and buried myself inside her until neither of us could remember our own names.“You were going to kiss her.” My wolf continued as my thoughts went spiral.I know. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, smug and insufferable. “Looks like someone's in love.”I snorted, grabbing the shirt f

    "YOU DARE?" Xena's shriek echoed through the corridor like a war cry. I stopped walking, closing my eyes for half a second. Should've kept going. But it was too late. She was already in front of me, cheek still red from my slap, eyes blazing with humiliation and rage. "A rankless wolf," she hissed, jabbing her finger at my chest, "slapping me? Do you have any idea who I am?" I didn't flinch. "A pain in my ass?" The servants lingering in the hallway gasped. Xena's face twisted. "I am fenrir’s closest friend ," she snarled. "I have rank. I have blood. You're nothing but a…." "Rankless?" I cut her off, stepping closer. "I'm your Luna." Xena laughed. It was loud and mocking, echoing off the walls like she wanted everyone to hear. She threw her head back, clutching her chest like I'd told the funniest joke she'd ever heard. "Luna?" She wiped a fake tear from her eye. "Oh, that's rich. You? Luna?" She gestured at me, up and down. "You're not his real mate. You're nothing but a pla
