LOGINThe next day, Liliana was fully recovered, but a restless fire burned inside her.
Two days had passed since her promised meeting with Neval and the other soothed berserkers. Her mother’s departure for Howlinghaven depended on how many berserkers were sent to the facility, and Liliana was certain Shaina would still go. She needed to sneak out again.More importantly, today was the day of the transaction between the Whitefang witches and the Blacklores, the berserker potion that had stHibiscus’s low whimpers filled the quiet garden.They were soft, broken sounds that rose from deep in his chest, as if something inside him was still cracking open. Fragments of memory flickered behind his eyes, moments of rage, of blood, of a woman’s voice he could no longer clearly hear. Each piece only made the hollow space in his heart feel wider.Liliana sat down beside the massive brown wolf without fear. Her small hand reached out and rested gently against his thick fur, stroking slowly.“Hibiscus,” she said softly, “tell me where Luna Andrea is. I need to know everything… from you.”Her touch carried the quiet silver of her soothing ability. The grief in his mind began to settle, just enough for the endless whimpering to fade. The great wolf turned his head and looked at her. Then the fur receded. Bones shifted. In a few heartbeats Hibiscus knelt beside her in human form, bare to the cool night air, head bowed.His voice came out rough and
In the Vladclaw territory, a full day after Shaina and Liliana recovered, the bad news arrived.A SIN shadow stepped into the guest wing just after dawn and dropped to one knee.“Young Miss. Luna Shaina. Lycan Matthias. Report from the Redborne estate. Paloma Blacklore has escaped.”The air in the room changed at once.Matthias’s low growl rolled through the space, deep and dangerous. His golden eyes burned. “How?”Shaina’s hand tightened on the edge of the table. Fear flickered across her face before she forced it down. “If she’s free again… she won’t stay quiet. Not after what happened. She’ll come for us. For Liliana.”Liliana sat calmly on the sofa, small legs swinging once before she stilled them. She looked at the kneeling shadow.“Keep eyes on the Blacklores. Every movement. Every meeting. Report everything. Do not engage.”The shadow bowed lower. “As you command, Master.”Matthias still looked ready to leave for Redborne that second. Lilia
When Paloma finally reached the Blacklore mansion, she was escorted straight to Ferdinand’s study. Zacharias was already seated inside, one leg crossed over the other, looking far too relaxed for the tension that hung in the air.Ferdinand’s eyes swept over her from head to toe. His lip curled.“You look filthy.”Paloma dropped into the chair across from Zacharias with a heavy sigh, not bothering to sit properly. “Uncle, is that how you greet me? After being locked up for so long?”Zacharias grinned, openly checking her out. “You look terrible, cous.”“I am miserable,” Paloma snapped, voice sharp with leftover anger. “They treated me like some kind of experiment.”Ferdinand’s expression darkened. His jaw tightened. “What did they do?”Paloma told them everything she knew, how she had been caught, locked away, and studied. She spoke of the child who had framed her, of the strength and cunning behind that sweet face, and of the quiet, dangerous sm
Paloma barely had time to catch her breath before the three elites were on her.The limited space in the back of the vehicle became a tangle of heat and muscle. Hands yanked the rest of her borrowed clothes away, the fabric tearing in their urgency. Rough palms dragged over her bare skin, hot, slightly calloused, leaving trails of heat wherever they touched. Someone’s fingers dug into the soft flesh of her thighs and forced them wide. Akeem was still thick and heavy on her tongue when the first elite shoved into her cunt in one brutal thrust, stretching her open around his thick cock until she felt every ridge and vein.The wet, filthy sound of her mouth on Akeem mixed with the deeper, heavier slap of hips against her ass. Paloma moaned around the cock in her throat, the vibration making Akeem curse. Saliva dripped down her chin in sticky strings. The air inside the vehicle turned thick and humid, heavy with the sharp scent of sex, sweat, and her own sweet, cl
Inside the moving vehicle, the rain continued to hammer against the windows, but the sound was quickly drowned out by something far more deliberate.Paloma shifted in her seat, then slid down until she was crouched between Akeem’s legs. She looked up at him through her lashes, biting her lower lip as her hands worked open his pants. The moment she freed his cock, she let out a soft, appreciative hum.“Look at this…” she murmured, wrapping her fingers around him. “Already so hard for me.”She leaned in and took him into her mouth without hesitation, sucking with open hunger. Wet, filthy slurping sounds filled the confined space of the car. Her eyes hazed over with lust as she worked him deeper, tongue swirling around the sensitive head before she sank down again.Akeem’s breath hitched. A low moan slipped out of him as his hands clenched the leather seats. Paloma only took that as encouragement. She pulled off just long enough to speak, her voice thick
Matthias sat alone in his private office on the highest floor of Redborne Tower. Rain streaked steadily down the floor-to-ceiling windows, turning the city lights below into soft, blurred smears of gold and white. The sky hung low and heavy, a deep gray that pressed against the glass. Inside, the only sounds were the quiet hum of the climate system and the occasional soft rustle of paper as he turned another page in the acquisition files spread across his desk.A faint shift in the air made him look up.A shadow peeled itself away from the far corner of the room and dropped to one knee without a sound. Water still clung to the edges of the guard’s dark cloak.“Lycan Matthias. Urgent report from Vladclaw territory.”Matthias set the papers aside. His eyes sharpened.“Speak.”The shadow kept his head lowered. “Young Miss Liliana intervened to save Alpha Hibiscus. She entered the containment chamber against advice. Luna Shaina and Boren followed her in. Hib
The dining hall went completely still the moment Matthias' voice filled the room. Everyone froze. The servants sat stiff in their chairs. Liliana was still crying loudly in his arms, her small body shaking. Matthias walked forward with heavy steps. “What happened here?” His voice was low and
Shaina returned home after her week away, and the moment Matthias heard she was back, he left everything and rushed to the mansion. They spent the next few days locked in their bedroom, barely coming out. He fucked her hard and deep every chance he got, making up for lost time. Shaina submitted c
After Richard had fully used Paloma, he leaned back in the chair with a satisfied grunt. He fixed his clothes quickly, then gave her ass a sharp slap. With a grin, he slid two fingers back into her dripping pussy, scooping up his own thick cum. He brought them to her lips and pushed them inside.
On the third day apart from Shaina, Matthias felt the emptiness like a constant ache in his chest. His wolf paced restlessly inside him, craving her touch, her warmth, the way she always submitted so perfectly to him. Work at Redborne Tower dragged on, and every quiet moment made the mate bond pu
