LOGINAlina's POV
My fingers fumbled with the laces of my dress. The dress loosened and slid down my shoulders. The cool air touched my skin and made my nipples point. I pushed the fabric that held my breasts, feeling them bounce free as I did. The twins didn't move or say anything, just stared. Heat flooded my face, but I kept going. The dress pooled at my feet, leaving me in just my thin undergarments. I hooked my thumbs into the waistband and pulled them down, stepping out naked. My vagina felt naked, a very well-groomed patch of hair above it. I crossed my arms over my chest to hide, but I could feel their eyes burning into me. Kael stood first, taller than I am, throwing a shadow. He was already shirtless, a broad, muscular chest. Kaden followed, just like Kael. They walked toward me slowly, almost like predators. I felt my heart pounding. 'Please, don't.' I whispered, but they just ignored it. Kael grabbed me by the wrist, gentle but firm, pulling my arm straight away. Kaden took the other. Without saying anything, they pulled me to the bed. I stumbled a little as my bare feet sunk against the soft rug. They pushed me down onto the mattress, the sheets cool against my back. With languid eyes, I lay gazing up at them looming over me. Breaths came fast with fear. Kael climbed onto the bed on my left, Kaden on right. The initial point of contact was with hands running over my skin, starting from my shoulders. His fingers descended, slow and deliberate, along my arm. So, Kaden tried the same on the other side, and shivers went up my spine with uncertainty whether from cold or their touch. 'You're ours now,' Kael growled. I wanted to run, but their bodies pinned me in place. Kael's hand moved to my breast, cupping it. His thumb brushed over my nipple, making it tighten more. A small gasp escaped me. He squeezed lightly, rolling the nipple between his fingers. On the other side, Kaden mirrored him, his touch identical. Pleasure sparked, unwanted, mixing with the fear. My body betrayed me, warmth creeping low inside my belly, however. They leaned down, mouths finding my neck. Kael kissed the spot just beneath my ear with his firm lips. Kaden sucked lightly on the other side. I arched a bit, hating how good it felt. 'Stop,' I murmured, but my voice lacked strength. Kael's mouth kept on moving down, sliding to my stomach then my thigh as he gradually started easing my legs apart. I complied at first, Kaden holding my hip still in place. Kael's fingers reached my pussy, grazing the outside lips. Damn, I was already so wet. He parted me, finding my clit with his thumb, rubbing in slow circles. Pleasure shot through me, making my hips buck. Kaden's hand joined, his fingers teasing my entrance. He pushed one inside slowly and deeply. I moaned, the sound startling me. The remaining fear lurked, but this heat building inside pushed it back. 'Tight,' Kaden muttered, his voice rough. He added another finger, stretching me. Kael kept circling my clit, his eyes locked on mine, cold but intense. I gripped the sheets, my body trembling. Their mouths moved lower, Kael sucking on my nipple now, his teeth grazing it. Kaden licked the other, his tongue flat and wet. Sensations overwhelmed me-fingers fucking me, mouths on my breasts, thumbs on my clit. My fear faded more with each thrust of Kaden's hand. Pleasure took over, making me wetter. I panted, 'Oh god,' as Kaden curled his fingers inside, hitting a spot that made stars burst behind my eyes. Kael kissed me though, crashing his lips onto mine, pushing his tongue in and claiming my mouth. I kissed back, now desperate. Kaden pulled his fingers out, and I whimpered at the loss. But then they proceeded by both stripping off their pants. Their cocks sprang free, hard and thick. Kael's was a bit longer, veined, the head already leaking. Kaden's matched, curving slightly. They were big, and fear flickered back-how would I take both? But my pussy clenched, wanting it. Kael had positioned himself between my legs and rubbed his cock against my slit. 'Ready?' he asked, voice still cold. I nodded, dreading too much to say anything. He pushed in slow, inch by inch. I felt him stretching out every millimeter of himself inside me. He filled me completely, bottoming out. I cried out, pleasure mixed with a burn. Kaden knelt near my head, his cock so close to my face. 'Suck,' he said bluntly. I turned my head, opening my mouth. He slid in, salty taste hitting my tongue. I wrapped my lips around him, sucking while he started to thrust shallowly. Kael then started moving, pulling out and slamming himself back inside. With every slam, rhythm built, his hips hitting mine. I moaned around Kaden's cock, the vibrations making him groan low. They worked me up like that, Kael fucking my pussy deep and steady, Kaden fucking my mouth. Hands everywhere—Kael gripping my hips, Kaden in my hair. The pleasure was coiling tight in me. My fear was gone now and feeling just need. I sucked even harder on Kaden, hollowing my cheeks. Kael's thrusts sped up, his cock hitting deep each time. 'Good girl,' Kael grunted. Then I came, hard, each spasm of my pussy holding onto him. Waves crashed over me, body shaking. Kaden took me out of the air for a second before carrying me off, heads up and domed, his dick in my ass while Kaden's was in my pussy. The double penetration stretched my pussy and my asshole so much to the point it hurt, but the pain was secondary feeling hot cum filling my ass and my pussy, with both brothers biting their teeth, deep into my neck classifying me as their mate! I was marked!We didn't sneak back into the Lycan capital. We marched.I rode at the head of the column, mounted on the black stallion Kaden had given me. To my left was Kael, his armor polished and his sword drawn. To my right was a carriage, shielded and guarded, carrying Kaden. He was too weak to ride, but he refused to stay behind. He wanted to see Cassandra’s face when the truth came out.The Rowan pack followed us. Five hundred wolves, all of them wearing the Rowan crest, their heads held high. They weren't a defeated pack anymore. They were the honor guard of an Alpha.As we approached the capital gates, the Lycan guards leveled their spears. The air was thick with tension. The city was on lockdown, the news of the "fallen king" and the "thief" having turned the streets into a powder keg."Open the gates!" Kael’s voice thundered, shaking the very stones of the wall."The Council has forbidden your entry, Prince Kael!" the guard captain shouted back. "You are stripped of your command until th
Kaden couldn't walk.It wasn't that his legs didn't work; it was that his balance was gone. Without the constant, grounding presence of his wolf, he felt like he was floating. We had to carry him into the great hall, laying him on the soft furs in front of the massive hearth. Kael stayed by his side, his hand never leaving Kaden’s arm, as if he were trying to pump his own Lycan energy into his brother through skin contact alone."It’s quiet," Kaden whispered, staring at the fire. "Alina, is it always this quiet for humans?""I don't know," I said, kneeling beside him with a bowl of warm broth. "But you aren't alone. I can hear it for you."I could hear everything now. I could hear the heartbeat of every wolf in the courtyard. I could hear the snow melting on the roof. The power Kaden had given me was massive, but it felt heavy, like wearing a suit of armor that was three sizes too big."The army is still outside," Kael said, his voice grim. "They won't attack yet because they're confu
"He’s human. He’s just… human."The words felt like ash in my mouth as I cradled Kaden’s head in my lap. I pressed my palm against his chest, desperate to feel the familiar, thrumming vibration of his Lycan spirit, but there was nothing. No heat. No predatory hum. Just the shallow, erratic heartbeat of a man who had been hollowed out. Kaden’s eyes were open, staring blankly at the sky, his pupils dilated. He wasn't dead, but the part of him that ruled, the part of him that commanded armies, had been ripped away to fill the void inside me.Kael let out a sound that was half-growl, half-sob. He reached over me, his hand trembling as he gripped Kaden’s shoulder. "Kaden? Kaden, breathe. Come back. Shift, damn you! Shift!"But there was no shift. There was no fur. Just the pale, sweat-slicked skin of a younger twin who had always been the thinker, the strategist, and now, the sacrifice."Stand back!" A sharp voice cut through the chaos.I looked up to see the Lycan High Priest stepping thr
"Don't touch me! Get back!"I backed away from Sarah, my hand covering my mouth as another surge of that oily, black liquid burned its way up my throat. It wasn't just blood. It was thick, it smelled like sulfur, and it was moving on the floor like it had a mind of its own. My wolf, the fierce creature that had just helped me take down Damon, was screaming in a way I’d never heard. It wasn't a roar of victory. It was a high-pitched, agonizing wail of a creature being eaten from the inside out."Alpha, you're bleeding," Sarah cried, her face white with terror. She tried to step forward with a cloth, but I slammed my hand against the desk to stay upright."It's the mark," I gasped, the words feeling like shards of glass. "Damon... that bastard. He didn't just fight me. He tied his life to a rot."I looked down at my hands. The veins in my wrists were turning a bruised, sickly purple. This was the final revenge of a man who knew he couldn't win fairly. Damon had used black magic, the kin
"Does this look like the face of a thief to you, or the face of your rightful Alpha?"My voice didn't shake. It cut through the cold night air, amplified by the stone walls of the courtyard. I stood on the edge of the high balcony, the moonlight catching the silver of my father’s dagger. Below me, hundreds of wolves froze. Their breath came in white clouds, their eyes reflecting the torchlight. At the center of them all was Damon. He looked small from up here. Small and panicked."Seize her!" Damon screamed, his voice cracking. "She’s a fugitive! She’s a traitor to the Lycan Empire! Kill her now!"Not a single guard moved. They looked at the silver dagger in my hand. They looked at the way I stood, my shoulders back, my chin high. I wasn't the trembling Omega maid they had mocked for years. I was the daughter of the man who had built this pack from the blood and bone of the northern wars."The only traitor here is the man who sold his own sister to pay for his cowardice," I yelled, st
"Look at you. From a King’s bed back to the dirt where you belong."Damon’s voice was like grease, slick and disgusting. I didn't give him the satisfaction of looking up right away. I kept my gaze fixed on the damp stone floor of the cell. It was the same cell where he used to lock me when I didn't scrub the floors fast enough. The smell hadn't changed. It was the scent of rot, old blood, and broken dreams. My stepbrother stood on the other side of the iron bars, his shadow stretching long and jagged across the floor. He looked heavier, his face bloated from too much ale and the arrogance of a stolen title."I’m surprised you haven't killed me yet, Damon," I said, my voice rasping. "Or are you afraid of what the Kings will do when they find out you've touched their property?"Damon laughed, a harsh, braying sound that echoed through the dungeon. He stepped closer, his fingers gripping the cold bars. "Property? Alina, you were a trade. A piece of meat used to settle a debt. And word tr

The Blackridge Alpha’s name was Torren. He looked exhausted, the kind of tired that came from too many sleepless nights and too much worry.“How long has she been showing power?” Alina asked.“A week. Maybe less. It’s not consistent. Sometimes she’ll go days with nothing. Then suddenly she’ll glow
Three days after the grey wolf attack, a messenger arrived.Young wolf, barely sixteen, his clothes covered in road dust.
