LOGINChills ran down my spine at the sound of that deadly roar. I was alone in the dead of the night in a large forest, my only guidance was the moon.
I was once again reminded of the beast in the forest and my heart thumped wildly. But I was determined to get as far away from here as possible, and that dampened any fear that I had. So, I ran. My breath came in harsh, loud pants as I pushed myself. The roar came again and my pace faltered because the fear had returned but in the next moment, I picked up my pace, running faster than I ever had in my whole life. And when I thought things couldn't get worse, the roar came again, closer this time. The hairs on my skin stood as my senses picked up something new. Something... or someone was watching me and following. Like a predator hunting its prey. I may have lost my wolf but I had hunted smaller animals long enough to know when I was being hunted myself. I only took a couple of steps forward and then I saw it. A nightly beast bigger than anything I'd ever seen in my life. It looked like a creature straight out of my nightmares. Horrifying and intimidating. The sharp fangs it displayed looked like they'd tear into my bones until there was nothing left of me. I screamed and backed away but it followed, its yellow eyes focused on me. His clawed hands darted out and I shielded myself with my arms, expecting pain. But it never came. I was lifted off the ground and he ran his large snout over my face, sniffing me. I shut my eyes tightly, unable to look at the monster. I was dead for sure. "Arghhh" he growled... or groaned and then I was placed on the ground. I cracked an eye open and I was greeted with his sharp and dangerous teeth. He leaned into me again, letting out an inhuman growl but he didn't bite into me. My fear morphed into curiosity. What was this beast doing? He pulled away and I tried to run but his large fingers locked around my ankle, keeping me on the hard ground. He rose to his full height and my fear returned. He was very large and in this position, very dangerous to me. He shook his large shoulders and I watched in a daze as his features changed from a terrifying beast to a man. Even in this form, he was larger than I was. His yellow eyes stayed and his entire focus remained on me. Another thing I noticed was his state of undress. Unconsciously my eyes trailed down his powerful frame and my mouth watered. Another growl from him forced my eyes to his face and he looked... Pleased? He lay down beside me, his naked body pressed into mine and his fingers traced my side. I shuddered but made no move to distance myself from him. My body burned in the places his body touched and I leaned closer to his touch. His chest rumbled and he pulled me even closer, burying his face into my neck. A sweet, intoxicating smell filled the air and I felt a liquid heat pool between my thighs. "Ahhh" I moaned and immediately pinched my lips together. He pulled away to study me and then he was back, sucking at my neck and I couldn't keep the moans in. I writhed underneath him, pushing myself against his cock that had hardened and was throbbing between my legs. This behavior was so unlike me. I didn't even know what his name was. Just moments ago he was a terrifying beast and now, he wanted to devour me but not in the frightening way. It was in a way my body appreciated. I'll call him Beast Man. His tongue trailed lower, above the swell of my breasts, and with a single tug, he ripped my clothes off my body. I shuddered from the cold but he warmed me up immediately, covering my entire frame with his body. The beast man's brazen lips found mine and his tongue pushed into my mouth, dominating the kiss. I could barely move, pressed to the ground by his large frame. Lost in the sloppy kiss, I wrapped my legs around his waist... barely. He was so big and I was so small that my legs could hardly go around him. "Arghh" he groans as if in pain, rutting his cock against my wet pussy. "Ahhhh" I moaned, bucking into him again. He pulled away briefly, tearing the rest of my clothes away and we were pressed against each other with nothing between us. "Can't.... Need you" he cried in a desperate voice as he pushed against my opening. I didn't know much about sex except from what I had seen in books and heard from gossip, but I knew what to expect. But he was too big. He groaned in frustration at yet another failed attempt to slide into me. Dying to feel him inside me, I reached for his cock and he thrashed above me as if he had lost control. The beast man buried his face into my neck and that seemed to calm him down for a few seconds. My eyes widened as I felt his length. Long and thick that my fingers couldn't close around him. He muttered in a language I couldn't understand as I continued my perusal. I reached the base where he was larger, his knot enlarged. I was filled with something primal and I widened my legs, guiding him into me. "Yesss" I screamed into the night when his head slipped in. My back bowed and my fingers raked down his back as he filled me, inch by inch. It began to feel too much but he kept going until all of his hard cock was crammed into me. He let out a harsh growl into my neck as he pulled out and slammed into me hard. Stars exploded in my vision as he struck something deep inside of me. There was no pain like the books had described. Only pleasure. "Can't be... gentle" he muttered as he pulled out and slammed into me again, over and over and I clung to him, taking all of the pleasure. Our lips were inches apart, never touching, only panting out our pleasure into each other's faces. He struck that spot over and over again in me and I squeezed around his cock so hard as I combusted, flailing under him. I clawed and scratched as the pleasure overtook me. He was no better, pounding into me like a beast and then he was howling into the night. He gave one last hard thrust and his knot slipped into me. I exploded again, the pain and pleasure sending me into an abyss as I felt him spurt himself into me, over and over again, his cock jerking inside me until everything went still. The beast man's knot locked us together and I passed out in his arms, too tired to move a muscle.My heart felt like it had been clawed open and my bloody shattered heart was handed over to me in my cold hands. I cried until the tears refused to come. Until my throat felt so sore. It felt like it had been filled with sandpaper. And when I finally collapsed in bed, the tears stopped. Just vanished as I'd never cried. I started at the ceiling, feeling empty inside. When the door opened, I didn't move and when Arin slipped in beside me, she wrapped her arms around me until I slept. I woke up some time later in the day and she was still there. "You slept for a while" I nodded. "My body needed it" Her eyes stayed on me like she had more questions to ask but she didn't. "I want to see Christopher" I said and she frowned. "The king...""I need to see Christopher Arin" I repeated, pushing all the urgency in my voice. She nodded "I can make it happen. But it cannot be today" I bit down the protest that I almost let out and nodded. "It's fine. Tomorrow then?" She nodded. "Tomorrow"
KING LEONIDAS POVThe sound of sobbing followed the click of the lock. I turned away and walked towards my office, Fenrir following closely behind me. The bottle of unopened scotch that had been sitting on my table untouched for days called to me. I didn't resist this time, pouring the drink into a glass and drinking it down. Fenrir watched me silently. The little shit had ruined everything. I wanted to smash his head into the wall but I had to control myself and my explosive anger. "I think you made a..." I didn't let him finish, I hurled the bottle towards his head and he moved out of the way just in time for the bottle to narrowly avoid smashing into his head. The bottle landed with a loud crash and the smell of alcohol enveloped my office. "You had just one fucking job" I growled at him. "I had no idea you were going to be there" he tried to explain but it only got me angrier."And what the fuck did you plan to do?" "Talk to her. I could have convinced her I was Finn and if an
No. I was wrong. I had to be. There was no way it was him. He died. I watched him die. The king buried him, mourned for him. I sat by his side, and I held him. "No" I muttered, backing away. It could be Finn. They had reconciled and were close now. That was the only reason he was standing beside him."Are you okay?" The voice asked again and I gasped. There was no mistaking that voice. I'd spoken to both of them countless times to know who exactly owned that voice. "Fenrir" I muttered again and he looked around in confusion. "Not..." "There is no need for that" King Leonidas cut him off. I dragged my eyes to his cold face and even colder eyes that were watching me."What's happening? Fenrir is dead right? Do you have another brother? They must be triplets? It can't..." I rambled as they looked on, offering no explanation. "Somebody tell me" I yelled and Fenrir stepped forward. "I'm not dead...I never died" "Then what...What happened? Why did you lie?" I asked, heart beating so
I knew there was nothing good about her visit here. Most likely she came here to gloat but I was in no mood to listen. "What are you doing here?" I asked hostilely and her cold smile dropped. "I'm going to be queen soon. I can go wherever I want to" "The king gave instructions. This room is off limits," Arin spoke loudly and I looked to her with a silent command. She didn't need to get involved or things would get messy for her. Heather scowled. "I do not believe I have to deal with this. A lowly servant speaking to me? How dare you?""Not too long ago, you were no better than a lowly servant. I gave you clothes to shield your modesty" Her left eye twitched and her lips pressed into a thin line. "I wish to speak with Rebeccah alone. Get out" Heather ordered loudly but Arin didn't budge. She looked to me for confirmation and I nodded. "It's fine" she hesitated but when I urged her with another nod, she walked past. I looked back at Heather who was staring at the room with barely
My vision swayed. It felt like I was reliving my past all over again. My second mate...choosing another. He was going to mark her. He was rejecting me even without knowing it and he was claiming her. The announcement in front of the crowd was the final stamp. The pack would make preparations…they’d know he was serious since he’d never made an announcement. My knees buckled when I tried to back away. Arin's hands caught me. "Becca" she called but her voice sounded distant. Only the sound of my heart pounding filled my chest. But my eyes, it took in everything. Heather's happiness. The crowd jumping around me. King Leonidas's soft gaze was directed at her. My stomach churned and I felt bile rising. I couldn't be here. I backed away, blindly pushing out of the crowd. The air around me began to vanish the longer I stayed between them. My body failed me, my legs almost gave out but someone caught me. "I'll help her" I vaguely recognized the voice. Masculine and full of concern but it so
“Why didn't you warn me?" His gaze shifted to Arin who watched us silently. "Excuse me" she muttered and rushed out of the door faster than I could blink. "I told you, there are consequences. I couldn't have given you a warning" "It could have prepared me. He knew and I..." I tried to leave without speaking the truth. "This is for the best""For who? I can't...""Whatever it is you're feeling and you think you can't survive it, you're wrong. Nothing good will come out of you staying next to him. You'll get hurt. He'll get hurt""Then what can I do?" I cried desperately. There had to be something that I could do to make things better. "Leave" he muttered emotionless."How? I'm locked in here and..." I really couldn’t. I didn’t think that I could survive it. "I can take you away" I stared at Christopher suspiciously. "Far away. That was your plan in the beginning right? What your mother wanted for you. To escape this pack and leave far away. I can do that for you but you have to
I stared on in disgust at the sight before me. The man bound in chains was a bloodied mess. Cuts marred every exposed inch of his naked body as he shuddered in the cold room. Blood dripped from those cuts and formed a pool underneath him. The stench of blood and gore was strong and my stomach lurc
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
