LOGIN“Bullshit" King Leonidas thundered. "There is no way I've had another mate. I would remember, I would have known" he paced angrily and Christopher sat calmly, watching. "How long have you known about this?" I asked. "Do I have to say it?" "I'm one fucking step away from breaking your fucking neck if you don't answer" Christopher's eyes flashed with fear as he stuttered. "The same year I found out about your curse but I couldn't say anything to you...or anyone. Not without telling you about Becca. She wasn't in the picture then" "Damn it Christopher, that didn't stop you before. This changes a whole lot" "I told you. We cannot disrupt the order. You either give in to the curse, or you stay away" he said firmly, reaffirming his stand. "We are going to the shadow hills pack" King Leonidas said firmly. "We'll find an end to your curse first and I'll deal with mine" "I told you...""Shut the fuck up Christopher" King Leonidas thundered. "And get the hell out of my office" Chris
I woke up with a dull ache in my chest. King Leonidas was lying down next to me. I'd fallen asleep curled up in his arms, exhausted from orgasm after orgasm that he’d wrought from me.He had been insatiable, moving me from the office to the bedroom and going all the way into the middle of the night. And the moment I opened my eyes, I knew exactly where I was. I shut my eyes, attempting to block out the thoughts in my head but I failed. My head was spinning. What did I just do? What happens next? I couldn't forgive King Leonidas, I couldn't believe that he truly loved me. I couldn't be with him in the long run. Not when the fates had already set us apart. "What are you thinking about?" His voice reached my ear as the sheets rustled. King Leonidas pulled me closer, nuzzling his face into my neck. "I've missed having you in my bed" his words were like icy water splashed over her. I sat up and King Leonidas followed. "You're bothered about something""We made a mistake" "Are we still
My body came alive under his touch. The intense feeling from the kiss spread through me, awakening the parts of me that had died.King Leonidas kissed me with dangerous hunger and blatant desire.My fingers disappeared in his hair as I drew him closer, melting into him. My legs moved backwards and in one clean swipe, he cleared the table.Gently he lay me onto it, his lips never leaving mine. I forgot how to breathe as our lips tangled together in passion.“Let me show you” he whispered against my neck when he finally pulled away from my lips, trailing hot and wet kisses down my throat.My back arched onto the hard table and my eyes rolled into the back of my head.“Ahhh….yesss” his chest reverberated with a growl as he sucked harder, his teeth biting down onto my neck as he left a mild mark.“Let me show you” he growled and I purred in response.Nothing mattered to me at this moment. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed his touch but having it again reminded me what it felt like to
“Cursed?" He looked shocked. I nodded. "Cursed. Just like you are" "How long have you known about it?" "Since I was born. I've carried the weight since I was old enough to tell right from wrong. My mother was cursed too and so was her mother and all the women born before them""What is this curse about?" I sighed, the words felt bitter in my mouth. "Rebeccah?" He called firmly. "It affects my mate too. I...after my eighteenth birthday, I'm expected to get mated to someone who loves me...my true mate" I paused as I waited for the words to sink in. "If that doesn't happen...my body begins to rot from the inside, my wolf dies. I'll suffer immeasurable pain until I die. And if I get mated...the curse transfers. I hear there's a way to stop it...to end all of it but I have to find a witch""They're hard to find" he said in a tired voice and I nodded. "Is that why you stayed quiet?" I shrugged. "What was the point in saying anything? I wanted to find a solution to the curse before I
I gasped loudly, falling back into the chair. If I could disappear, it would have happened right at this moment. "W-why?" "The curse demands that once I find my mate and a mark takes root, she has to die for me to be free" My head felt heavy, all the air disappearing from my lungs as the words sank in. "That is why...those women...""Yes," he growled. "It had always been about finding my mate because I wanted the curse broken. Each time I woke up after a full moon and none of the women I spent one night with turned out to be my mate, I felt an irrational anger and my beast took it out on them. When Heather came, I was relieved. That was why I wanted her to stay. I was going to complete the bond with her, break the curse and we..." he paused, tension settling between us as I waited for him to finish. "We what?" "I was going to make you my mate after that" My eyes widened. "What? You said...""I knew what I said. I had to say it" he raked his hand through his hair as he paced. I
I stared at King Leonidas unable to decipher the emotions coursing through me all at once. Disappointment seemed to be the strongest. And even though I shouldn’t have hoped. I thought the truth would change things but I was right. This wasn’t about wanting a mate. It was me. I couldn’t be accepted. Not by Caleb and certainly not by him. And if the fates were cruel enough to give me another mate, I’m sure it’d be the same cruel rejection.“I’ll leave you two” Fenrir tried to leave but I stopped him. “There’s no need. I’ll be leaving” I said instead and turned to leave his office.“Wait” king Leonidas thunderous voice stopped me. My legs paused against my will and Fenrir walked out, closing the door behind him. I sensed King Leonidas's presence behind me and I turned around. “About what you heard…” he started. “You don’t have to explain anything to me. It’s your decision and it’s fine by me. I only wish not to be held against my will”“Are you really not going to give me a chance to
KING LEONIDAS POVMy head throbbed in the empty room. I eyed the sheets that were soaked in her scent. I had no idea what it was about her scent that suddenly had me hooked. And I wasn’t willing to let go.She had played herself into my hands. Although I could have found a way to make it happen but
I stared at the harrowing man that I'd traded places with Sarah earlier today just to avoid. His eyes burned into my skin, specks of gold dancing around the black pupils as he stared at me with an emotion I couldn't decipher. He was smiling but it didn't reach his eyes. His eyes told a different s
I abandoned Finn and my quest for dinner and I returned to my room. All through the night, I could barely get any sleep. The king appeared in my dream and he was tearing through Finn while I was forced to watch.By morning, I was a mess. On edge and nervous. The girls acted up as usual but I ignore
I didn't stop running long after I was out of that room. I narrowly missed bumping into walls because of my blurry vision. When my legs finally gave out underneath me, I was somewhere I didn't recognize. A narrow hallway. My hands shook as I pulled my knees to my chest. I'd murdered a man. An in
