The demon wolf’s Affair 23. The confrontation
CelineThe summons come again tonight. I see the single message on the paper that Ken delivered and for the first time, I want to turn down the summons. I’m mentally drained. I’ve honestly been through a lot today, seen and heard alot and I would like some more time to sort my mind and try to figure out my next move. But I remember one of his three rules, that I will always come when he calls and I get dressed. I think about talking to him about what I discovered, but I’m not stupid enough not to know that I’ll be putting all seven of them in more danger. I knock on the door at midnight and he gets it. When I see him, all of my worries and my anxiety melts away in the face of the small smile on his lips. He looks incredibly sexy in his casual wear of a shirt and jeans and the intense heat in his eyes when he looks at me warms me. I want to melt into his arms, kiss him and let him make me forget all about today. It would be way too easy to lose myself in him. I fold my arms to preven
The demon wolf’s Affair 24. The king’s cupbearer
NeemI‘m practically vibrating with excitement at the back of the line. My ticket has gotten me this far, in the lineup of nineteen other females and any one of us could be chosen. I wonder briefly why the king’s cupbearer has always been a female. Oh, I’ve made it this far, may the Mizuki crystals guide my path to be chosen. A horn blares and the doors part to reveal the prince wolf, dashing in his tail coat, and he walks to the front of the line. My nervousness sky-rockets and I wish the choosing would have been a more private affair, not here on the West balcony of the castle while more wolves watch from down below. “Females. You are welcome. At the end of today, one of you will become the new cupbearer to the king. Once you do, you and all of your family will want for nothing. May good fortune smile on you.” He says. We touch our brows to him in respect and he steps back. He speaks briefly to The Whisperer, the wolf that has all of the intel about Lyria. I have only ever seen h
The demon wolf’s Affair 25. The prisoner
Celine I fucked up. I know it and the miserable state of my life will not let me forget it. I pace my room, frustrated and angry with myself. I feel my wolf’s agony from hurting her mate and it makes me even more restless. I’ve not seen him since that day that he left me. And goddess knows I’ve tried. When I go to the meeting room, he says he is too busy and without even sparing me a glance, he tells his wolves to escort me out. When I try to get his attention in the hallways, he is ‘busy’ and he says if I need anything I should speak with Emma. That hurt. And so I have decided to bring out the big guns. I’m heading to his chambers. He and I have never met for personal reasons at his chambers and I’m so nervous I’m shaking. I get to his door and drawing in a huge breath, I tap on it and wait. My wait drags on and I tap again. He’s inside. My wolf and I can feel him somewhere on the other side of the door and I tamp down my excitement and nervousness and knock again. Nothing. My s
The demon wolf’s Affair 26. It’s happening again
CelineEmma shuts her mouth in shock. My head rings with her unwanted words and her shocked face fills my view. I immediately regret it. “Sorry.” I say. “My bad mood does not justify me snapping at you, I’m truly sorry.”They had sex? They made up? Thought as much the two-timing bastard does not have my time of the day again. It seems I’m on the losing end of this mating relationship, perhaps because I put a mark on him. If he broke one of my three rules while being adapt about not seeing me, I feel sick with the only conclusion. My heart palpitates with worry that he’s done with me. She is his Luna and she must have accepted him and his demon wolf ages ago. What use has he of a mate that lies that she’s terrified of his wolf? Did I really destroy everything we had with my careless words?“It’s okay.” Emma says shakily. “I have been rather insensitive haven’t I? I kept on bothering you about my problems when you probably couldn’t care less.”“Don’t say that. I’m honoured to listen to
The demon wolf’s Affair 27. Caught in the thrill
CelineWhen I see Ken in front of my room with a paper in his hand, my heart beats so hard I’m afraid it will pound right out of my chest. “Hey. Lor asked me-“Even before he’s done talking, I snatch it from his hand and spread it out. “The High Noon.”“He said I should give that to you.” He says wryly. “Thank you!” I exclaim, my hand shaking slightly. I grab the car keys and start running, uncaring about the eyes following me. This feels like I’m dreaming and anytime now I’ll wake up and he will have a wall up between us again and I simply must get to him before that happens. I peel tires driving to the High Noon and when I finally get there, I race to the elevators. A minute later I’m knocking on his door, slightly out of breath and the rest of it punches out of my lungs when he opens the door. We stare at each other across the space and every bit of longing that has plagued my mind and my body crashes into me right then, making my body shake. He stares into my eyes, and I see
The demon wolf’s Affair 28. Sex and a serving of betrayal
CelineMy body crawls with horror. Over Lor’s shoulder, our eyes connect and her hand rises to cover her gasp. The moment becomes suspended, and in that moment, I feel like the worst of the lowliest scumbags. Lor snarls and turns to the door. “Get the fuck out of here.”She stumbles back a step in shock, her face turning a mottled shade of red. She looks at me again, and her eyes are glistening with tears. Shit. Shit. Shit. “Celine, what are you-“ Her voice breaks. I can’t take it anymore. I push Lor away, or try to because he does not budge. His cock is still hard inside me, my cunt is still wet and aroused, and his goddamn Luna is by the door looking at me like I killed her kitten. Except this is worse. “Let go of me Lor.” I say, shoving at him again. He wraps his arms around me and drives his hips into me. I gasp with shock and moan, my skin lighting up and my pussy clenching around his cock. My horror is a hundred times worse when I pop my eyes open and see the first tear ru
The demon wolf’s Affair 29. My web of deceit
CelineI wake up slowly, with a smile on my lips. I feel much better than I have in ages with the tension between Lor and I gone. I open my eyes to find him watching me with his head propped on his elbows. “Move in with me.”I sit up, a little confused at his sudden proposal. “What do you mean?” I ask. He leans down and claims my lips in a toe-curling kiss that steals the breath from my lungs. I sigh, I could get used to waking up like this. “No more hiding. I want you to move in with me.”But what about his Luna?Shit! What about his Luna?“Emma!” I jerk upright, scrambling off the bed, my peace and calmness of earlier vanishing on the wind. “I need to leave.”“Why do you bother yourself with this? My marriage with Emma is one of convenience and nothing more. You owe her no explanations.”I pull my shirt over my head and grab my pants. “So what? This is not your first time sleeping with other females since you two got married?”“It’s not.” He says steadily and I pause for a seco
The demon wolf’s Affair 30. Luna
Lor It’s amazing, the way I have been married to my Luna for close to three centuries now, and in all of that time, I have never walked this path. This path that leads to her chambers. I would have been just fine not walking it for another three centuries. “Alpha!” The two males at the door touch their fists to their hearts and bow their heads. Head cocked, I come to a stop in front of them. “What is going on here?”“Luna Emma asked us to keep watch at her door.” “Keep watch for who?”They exchange an uneasy glance and one of them clears his throat. “For Miss Dontellar of Creed pack. She is not to be allowed into the chambers.”I scoff. Emma, dramatic as always. “Move.”I push into her chambers and the ladies with their heads together talking furiously jump and glance at each other guiltily. “Alpha!” They rise and pay their respects. The topic of conversation couldn’t be more obvious. I see Emma wasted no time. “Get out.” I grit out and they hurry to scramble out of the room.
