Finally, the book is live! I want to apologize so much to everyone who has been waiting for this book. It took far longer for it to be reviewed than I anticipated and a full two weeks before I even had the contract. I hope that despite the annoying delay, you will all still stick with the story as I write this for all of you. As always let me know what you think, I love hearing from all of you.
I stirred in the overly warm bed and took a deep breath, my stomach growling as the scent of perfectly cooked bacon reached my nose. I stretched and yawned before sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes, looking to see I was alone in the bed. As I moved to get out of bed, my hair swung in front of me and I caught a whiff of burnt wood and smoke. With the scent came the memory of the dream. I sighed and pulled my hair back into a ponytail, my mind reeling and trying to make sense of everything the Alpha had said to me last night. I went to the closet and grabbed tights and a loose-fitting shirt before making my way into the kitchen and smiling as I saw Kane at the stove while Magnus was scrolling through his phone. “Morning, Darling. Sleep ok?” Magnus asked as he looked up upon my entrance into the room. I shrugged and went to him, giving him a kiss before going to make a cup of coffee, getting a good morning kiss from Kane as he cooked. “It was a deep sleep, but I um…I drea
“Well, now that is a sight I’ll never get tired of seeing.” Brodryn’s voice from the bathroom door had me jumping and almost slipping in the shower. Thankfully I was able to regain my balance and not make a complete fool of myself as I turned around and looked at him with a smile. “Going to join me handsome?” I asked as I continued to lather the soap through my hair. He grinned and stripped before stepping into the shower and using the second shower head to get himself all wet. The long dark strands of his hair looked so soft and smooth that I felt the compulsion to run my hands through them. I stepped towards him and grabbed the shampoo, kneeling on the bench in the shower so I was able to reach his head. I scrubbed and lathered the shampoo, my nails massaging his scalp and chuckling at the happy rumble that came from his chest. Wolves were very social creatures and we needed touch, the social aspect of it a necessity in most packs. Dragons from what I had seen weren’t really that
“Why do we need to talk about punishment? Isn’t being rejected and spending time in holding a suitable punishment?” The doctor asked as he put his hand over his mouth to cover a yawn. Immediately my opinion of him was significantly lowered. “You think allowing a man, who was physically and mentally abusing his mate, cheating on her and gaslighting her, a few nights in holding is a suitable punishment ?” I asked, my voice even but I knew the tone was not friendly. He looked at me and shrugged a shoulder in response. “He’s been rejected by his mate and is locked in holding. What else should be done? It’s not like he hurt her too badly. She never complained of pains at work.” He spoke dismissively and I tensed, my wolf ready to smack this man around but Kane’s hand on my thigh tightened and he rubbed soothing circles with his thumb in an effort to calm me. “Way to blame the victim Lincoln. Mira is a sweet and nice girl and she did not deserve that treatment. No one deserves that treat
: Very good Feilan. You are such a smart little Alpha. Now I will be even more impressed if you can figure out why my dear father gave me such a punishment. : I clung to Kane, looking up at him with wide eyes and wondering if he could feel my panic down the mate bond. All I got from him was the lingering feelings the meeting elicited in him. With the Alpha talking to me I assumed he somehow managed to block out my emotions from transferring down the mate bond. It was a terrifying thought. : You can’t ignore me forever, sooner or later, you and that beautiful wolf of yours, will give in and accept that I am meant to be more to you. Mani has seen to it, my dear Feilan. : I shivered as his voice slithered through my mind, the taste of him thick on my tongue. The heat of a golden chain fashioned by the gods, the thick winter air, the crisp aching cold of the wind, and the unique taste of moonlight and molten rage mixed with damp leaves. There was no other way to describe his taste and I
: You ready Darling? : Magnus asked as he crouched to take off running. I yipped at him and got ready, the three of us taking off at once into the trees. We ran as fast as our paws could take us and while they were physically stronger than I, I was faster but just. Magnus was able to keep up and was only a few paces behind me, Kane just behind him. It was exhilarating to run full speed through the trees, playing and being free with my mates. Kane’s pack land was extensive and so very different from Ravenfield pack lands. My wolf and I were excited to explore and sniff out the different smells, to hunt the different animals, some more abundant here than in Ravenfield. It was like an adventure, discovering all the new scents and it even had my dragon curious. It was strange to feel them both prominent when in wolf form, but for once there was no division. It felt easy, right, like it was second nature. I felt comfortable in my skin and that’s a feeling that’s hard to obtain. I follo
I woke the next morning to the sound of birds and the warmth of the sun on my bare skin. I stretched and groaned when I felt the aches from all over my body. The best kinds of aches and pains. I looked and found my mates asleep on either side of me, their naked bodies a tantalizing treat in the sunlight. I sat up and ran my hand through my hair, hissing at the number of tangles, twigs and leaves in the strands. I got to my feet and stretched fully, groaning as everything popped, ached and felt so much better. My skin was covered in bruises and bites and nail marks, their possession and claiming of me plain to see. I grinned and looked at them, giggling softly upon noticing the state of their hair and the nail marks present on their backs. It was a very good night indeed. They definitely kept their word and had their way with me underneath the moonlight, over and over again. I lost count of how many times they brought me screaming over the edge, only recalling I finally said no more
The moment I was finished eating I kissed my mates and headed upstairs while they went to do some council and pack business. I went up to the suite and took a quick shower before putting on fresh underwear, a t-shirt and a pair of sleep shorts and made my way down to Brodryns room. I let myself in and stripped down to my underwear before climbing into bed with him, smiling softly as I felt him shift and his arms wrap around me, holding me to him tightly as he fell deeper into sleep, His scent, the heat from his body and his steady breathing was a comforting sound to lull me deeply into sleep. I woke to the feeling of rough hands running over my back and kisses being placed along my neck. I stirred and moved, opening my eyes and looking up at Brodryn. He looked at me with a soft smile and kissed my lips softly and slowly, pulling me so I was laying on top of him with one of his hands in my hair while the other gripped my hip. I mewled and nipped his bottom lip before pulling away to sm
I looked over and watched as Brodryn stripped and effortlessly shifted into his large black dragon, the sharpness of his scales evident despite the dim light through the trees. The sun was setting and it made his dark scales stand out among the shadows of the trees. I went to him and rubbed myself along his side, much the way a cat does and a rumbling purr came from my chest as his midnight dew scent filled my senses. It was practically mouth watering in this form and I loved it. His chest rumbled in response and he nipped the scales on my shoulder, his breath warm as he rubbed his maw along mine, mingling his scent with mine. : What would you like to do first, Little Moon, fly or mark one another? :I shivered at the pure animalistic anticipation in his voice before standing my ground and looking him right in the eyes. : As much as I’d like to invite you to mark me here and now. I’m going to wait till later tonight to do that. I want you to teach me some of your amazing flight ski
