LOGINErinaSo many eyes watched us as I walked next to Magnus into the throne room, which was overfilled with high-ranking wolves and elders. His hand tightened over mine as he led the way up the stone steps to his throne of bones. It still filled me with dismay looking at it and knowing my father and brother’s bones decorated it. Although I knew they deserved it. I forgave them for what they did to me, how they used me to get to Magnus, but it didn’t hurt any less. I meant so little to my father that he had a curse put on me to achieve his goal. Gazing up at his grinning skull at the top of Magnus’ throne, I spoke to him in my thoughts. “Well, Father, I am determined not to be ruled by your curse. I love Magnus, and he loves me, and together we will rule this werewolf kingdom.”I sat next to Magnus on a gilded chair placed there for that purpose. Magnus turned to me with a slight smile ghosting his lips. Reaching for my hand, he whispered his words in private, yet they still carried thro
MagnusA sleepless night. Worry kept me by her side while she lay unmoving, pale and beautiful. I undressed her gently, leaving her naked and spread out on my bed, in my new suite. The full moon bathed her in silver from the open windows. My goddess. The sight of her made me feel a warmth I hadn't felt in ages.When she collapsed earlier, I thought I had lost her, lost my pup. But I heard his heart fluttering away in her womb. Save. Unharmed.The room I had shared with Elise as my queen for a brief while stayed empty. I couldn’t have Erina in that room. Yes, call me a hypocrite if you want to. Especially after what happened with Sabelle. I hated myself for it. The shame ate me alive. She was my aunt, for fuck’s sake! It was wrong on so many levels. How could I have been so weak letting her seduce me? I promise myself it won’t happen again. Erina deserved better.I cursed Sabelle, knowing she could hear my thoughts and feel my anger through our familial bond, but she stayed silent.Unt
Magnus glared at me as if he couldn’t decide whether to ravage me or shake me.“I have a lot on my plate, Erina! Don’t add to my worries.” He shoved a hand through his thick hair, which now had more streaks of gray in it than a few weeks ago. “Why should you be worried about me, Magnus? You’ve been avoiding me lately. And what could she possibly do to me that wouldn’t harm her as well?” He was hiding something. I was sure of it. Why watch me like some spy, hiding in the shadows?He couldn’t look at me. “I wasn’t avoiding you, Erina. I am busy. The High Council will arrive shortly, and I have been in meetings since dawn. Fritz’s trial is scheduled for tomorrow.”“Surely you have time to have dinner with me, my king?” I’ve missed him. Missed the closeness of his body, the taste of his lips.“Tonight. I promise.” He pulled me in for a quick kiss. “Go rest.” He fondled my baby bump. “You look tired. You need to be strong for the trial.”I touched his cheek. There were deeper grooves etch
ErinaThe days went by too fast and yet, not fast enough. I hardly saw Magnus. He came in late when I was already asleep and left before I woke. It felt as if he were evading me, but I berated myself for being so needy. He was a busy man. We both were.He was in countless meetings, and I went through do’s and don’ts with the elders. How to sit, how to stand, how to address ranked wolves. What to wear. The lists were endless. Never had I received so much attention from the elders, the servants and the other ranked wolves. They treated me with the necessary respect, but every so often I was gently reminded that I was only there because of Magnus. That I didn’t have any actual worth. Neither as a queen nor as a member of the pack. It didn’t matter that I was growing Magnus’ heir in my womb.I needed to be grateful for every breath I took.Magnus had a designer flown in from Italy to design my wedding dress. The jealous stares, the whispers behind hands, I tried to ignore it, but it was h
MagnusThe castle was a hive of activity, and I spent my time at countless meetings with the alphas and elders from different regions. The news of the Crescent pack’s betrayal had spread everywhere, and many alphas wanted to meet with me to pledge their loyalty. Smite one pack and the rest come ass-crawling. I wouldn’t want it any other way. They should know I was still king even though I was mortal. The prophecy held no power over me any longer. My decree went out to all the packs in the area under my rule, and despite the elders’ concern, no one came to challenge my decision to make Erina my queen.Also, having a dark witch under my control helped. The extent of her power had preceded her, and the wolves were terrified of her and what she might do lest they step out of order.I came out of the last meeting and ran into none other than Sabelle. Think of the devil and she shall appear…“What are you doing here?” I told her to stay in the west wing of the castle.She laughed, sinister,
ErinaWith a wicked grin, he sucked a nipple into his mouth and pinched the other one between his thumb and forefinger, teasing and rolling it while sucking on the other.Low, needy moans rolled off my tongue. I could cum just from him sucking on my breasts. My hand slipped between my thighs. He caught my wrist.“Naughty, naughty, huntress,” he teased. “That pussy is mine to touch, to fuck.” His voice was sin cloaked in velvet.I was getting desperate for relief. “Magnus… God…” If he didn’t let me cum soon, I would combust.He gave me a quick peck on my lips, and then he went down on me, bunching my nightdress over my thighs. He spread my legs wider to accommodate his broad shoulders. I felt stretched to my limits, gripping the edges of my chair to keep my balance. “No panties,” he chuckled darkly, looking up between my thighs with a sly smile. “Good girl.”The sudden warmth of his breath on my sensitive clit sent a jolt through me. I bucked against his mouth, and he licked me open
