WYATTIt had been a week since I locked Kacela in the dungeon. I went down to see her every day, trying to talk some sense into her. She refused to see reason and I was becoming more frustrated, especially since every contact I had with her just strengthened the bond between us. I was feeling her pain more and more.“Do you not feel what I’m feeling?” I asked her. I was looking through the bars at her. She was on the ground, doing push-ups. She looked up at me, glaring but not answering.I watched her, trying to decide what I was going to do with her. I had found out from the guards that she spent most of her day exercising in some form or another. I knew it was because of how chilly I kept the dungeon. Exercising and moving kept her warm. I could feel that the nights were very cold for her, but she refused to ask the guards for a blanket. I looked around the cell. She was given a bucket of water every day along with soap and a rough towel. It looked like she attempted t
KACELAI was on my side on the cot, fighting with Dali. She wanted to take control and I was having a hard time pushing her back. Every time Wyatt came down to see me it was like she had renewed strength and she would be harder to push back. I was terrified that one of these days I wouldn’t be able to keep control and she would win, never allowing me to come back.I could hear someone coming down into the dungeon and I prayed it wasn’t Wyatt again. I could barely control Dali as it was and I’m not sure I could keep her down if he came to see us again. I opened my eyes and saw that my cell was being unlocked. A tall, blonde woman stood on the other side. She was angry. I could tell that even from here. Her back was stiff, and she had a glare on her face. As soon as the door was open she burst in and grabbed me off from the cot, jerking me to my feet. I was weak from fighting Dali and didn’t have anything left in me to fight her.“Stop this nonsense,” she demanded. I just lo
KACELAI leaped to my feet and ran for the door. These Lycans were crazy if they thought that I was going to submit to being mated with Wyatt. I didn’t make it far before the two guards were on top of me. I went crazy, fighting, kicking, and screaming. They dragged me over to the bed and put me on it.I popped up and started to run for the door again. Lia was in front of me, claws out and teeth bared. I hadn’t even heard her shift and, when I turned towards the windows, I realized the other two guards had shifted. I was in a room with three huge Lycans.They put me on the bed. Lia shifted back and told me to stay put or she would have the guards tie me to the bed. Having experienced being tied to a bed before experiencing the dungeon, I opted to stay.The door opened and Wyatt came in. He was dressed in the same clothing he wore to the dungeon. I grabbed a blanket and pulled it up to cover me, absurdly shy around him. He looked at the two Lycans and Lia. “Go,” he said. T
WYATTI most definitely didn’t see this coming.When I Jarrett informed me that he and Lia were taking over my love life, I was all for it. Kacela’s emotions were all over the place and, because of our erasthai bond, I felt it all. I couldn’t take much more of it. When Jarrett dragged me to the Luna Suite and informed me that I needed to mate with Kacela, I was dead set against it. I don’t have sex with women who don’t want to have sex with me. I looked down at the woman sleeping in my arms, mated and marked. I most definitely didn’t see this coming.I knew that Lia was outside the room with the guards, waiting to see if Kacela was going to come running out. I knew that they would just pick her up and drag her back inside. I was really glad that this went the way it did. Having to have my guards drag my erasthai back to our mating bed would be very embarrassing. I felt Kacela stir in my arms, and I looked down to see her awake and looking at me. She looked wary and I could
KACELADinner. That one word made me ashamed and scared at the same time. I wordlessly shook my head and got off the bed, walking to the closet to see if I could find some clothing that would fit me.I could feel Wyatt’s confusion. “What is it, Kacela?”I looked back at him, unshed tears threatening to fall. “I was hired to kill all of you. I spent the last two weeks actively trying to kill my wolf and run away. You had to have guards bring me back and you had people bring me to this room to force a mate if I wasn’t willing. And now I’m supposed to have dinner with them? Everyone probably hates me with a passion. I can’t.”He looked flabbergasted with all the information I threw at him. He cleared his throat.“Well, first, I want to say that the mating thing was entirely my Beta and his wife. I had no idea what they were going to do until I was up here on the other side of the door.” He paused. “I am glad that this was consensual. I don’t know if I could have done it if
WYATTI slipped on my athletic shorts before opening the door to leave the Luna Suite. I saw Kacela standing, framed by the window, the beautiful sunset showing through. She was lovely. I could feel the fear and sadness radiating off her and I was at a loss. I closed the door and then walked across the hall to my room, opening the door. I closed it behind me and then punched the wall with my Lycan strength. My fist went right through the drywall, breaking the stud that was behind it and the entire wall shook, dislodging plaster. I backed up and looked at my fist, my knuckles broken and blood streaming from the wounds. As I watched, Dex started healing me.I heard a gentle tap on the door, and I strode over, jerking it open. Jarrett was on the other side. “Didn’t go well?” he asked, mildly. I gestured for him to come in. “Yes. Then no.” I walked to my closet and pulled out a suit. We always dressed for dinner in the castle. I would have said something to Kacela, but she
KACELAWyatt offered me his arm and I took it, following behind Lia and Jarrett. We walked down three flights of stairs to the main floor and took a left, entering through a double set of doors. I gasped.We walked into a huge room with high ceilings. Everything inside was white. The floors were ornate marble and the columns in the room were also marble. The walls and ceilings were plastered with a bright white. Round tables were set up inside this area with six or eight chairs around each table. About half of the tables were occupied. People were running back and forth to a huge buffet that had been set up along one wall. Everyone was dressed up in some sort of fancy dress and I was suddenly glad that Lia had come in and put me straight about the clothing. I would have been out of place in jeans and a hoodie.“What is this?” I whispered to Wyatt. People were starting to notice that he came in and were nodding and bowing to him.“Dinner,” he said. “We set it up every night
KACELAThe clothing melted off. Thank goodness no one else used the floor because we didn’t even make it into the room before our clothing hit the ground. Someone had cleaned up all of the glass in the bathroom, I noticed, and also cleaned the mess I had made when I tried to leave was gone. Then I quit noticing things and focused on Wyatt.He spun me around and found the zipper holding the dress on to me. He slid it down in one smooth swoop and the satin slid off my shoulders, pooling at my feet. I stepped out of it and reached up, trying to find the pins that were holding my hair in the knot. That would be uncomfortable to lay on.I turned around to see Wyatt struggling with the buttons on his shirt. I reached forward and swatted his hands away, attacking the buttons myself. He looked at me and his eyes dilated. He reached around and unclasped my bra, letting my breasts spring forward. He dipped his head and attached himself to one of my nipples.I gave up on the buttons, r
