LorMy roar of pain causes her to stumble but the foolish woman does not stop. With a little gasp, she flies into the distance. She is so fast. If I were any other wolf she would outrace me. She pumps her arms for speed, not looking back after dealing me such a fatal blow and a wayward shot of admiration hardens my cock more than it already is. Her scent is overpowering in this limited tunnel, more effective than an aphrodisiac. With hardly a second thought, I go after her, and not because I don’t wish to the high heavens I could respect her wishes. It is because it is impossible to. I have lost my mind in my desire for her, and nothing else makes sense in the world than having her soft body in my arms, despite the hatred in her eyes. Damn it. She was never supposed to walk in on me. I cross the distance between us in seconds and in the next breath, I tackle her to the ground. Her breath punches out of her as I flip her over. She stares at me in disbelief for a second and then she
LorHer unconscious body is in my arms and I race back to my chambers at the crack of dawn. The thrall of the full moon has finally broken but the memory of the night remains with me. It is hard to believe I lost control with her but as my hands shake around her still form, the truth cannot be suppressed. The last few hours are a haze of never ending lust, uncontrollably and overwhelmingly intense. I can’t come to terms with the knowledge that I hurt her, physically and emotionally. I put my pleasure first and I used her body and fucked her like the beast people call me and yet she took it. Never once did she hesitate and never once did she pull away from my touch. She should have, she should have fought me to the end, protected herself from me. “Celine!” I yell but she is so heart-stoppingly still. I’m gutted by fear so potent it threatens to bring me to my knees. No, I can’t have done this to her. I can’t have hurt her. I’m shaking as I crash into my chambers and lay her down o
LorCeline’s father glares at me from the other end of the video call and I lean against the far wall and stare steadily back. “A good day to you.” I say. “Fuck good days, where is my daughter? Put her on the phone.”I cross my arms in front of myself and study the other male. He got on the call as soon as the full moon ended so he must know how vulnerable she was last night. My face is carefully neutral, giving away none of my guilt for endangering her. “I understand your concern but you have nothing to worry about. You sent your daughter to me as a show of trust and she is under my protection.”His eyes narrow and he slams his hand down on the table in anger. “My daughter has long overstayed her due in your territory. I must see her this morning, and I want you to send her back to me within the week!”My brows rise at being ordered to do anything but I remind myself that this is her father I’m speaking to, and any brashness that he comes across as is only because he cares about
CelineI‘m falling and it feels like it lasts forever. The darkness presses in on all sides, stealing my breath before I can let out a scream. When will I land?I gasp awake with wide eyes, heaving in huge breaths of relief. No more falling, no more darkness. I’m awake. The jingling of chains gets my attention and I glance down with a horrified gasp to find... everything upside down. What-I feel it then, thick chains gripping my ankles and anchoring me to the roof. The rest of the cage materialises, reinforced bars designed to hold me in. No. No. No. No. Yes. My fear is confirmed. I’m in the cage now, the exact one that used to hold Flinn. “Lor!” I scream, my voice ending on a cry. Why would he keep me here? Why would he leave me here alone? “Lor!!!”I’m the only prisoner here, the rest were killed. The door is closed and my cage doors are locked. I am suspended with chains and my panic is rising by the minute. I don’t want to be alone. Biting my lip, I fold my upper body up and
Celine“Celine!”For the second time this week, I feel like I’ve lost weeks, turns out it’s just days. Lor crosses the room and scoops me in his arms, holding on so tight to me I can’t breathe. His familiar scent is all I need to feel like myself again, and yet the events of that night intrude into the brief peace. The night is carved so deep into my skin the memories come to me easily. Everything that went wrong that night and the crowning pinnacle of it, Lor’s betrayal. I could have sworn, if anyone ever asked me, that Lor is the one male that I never had to fear such a betrayal from. It is unfathomable. I would have sworn it. I trusted him even more than I trusted myself, it is what happened when I gave my heart to him. It is painful and unbelievable that I was so wrong and for the first time, I’m glad I don’t have my wolf with me or I would have run mad I don’t attempt to hold him back as he holds me to him, my mind is too busy spinning. He broke my trust, but it’s more than t
NeemIt wasn’t my intention but I’ve spent more than the initial day in the prince’s room. My shoulder is properly healed but the prince keeps finding excuses to keep me. He has also taken care of his father, keeping the king from asking for me and it is like I relocated to a mini paradise. Life in the castle has never been better. “Clocked!” I say, standing and leaping into the air with a great fist-pump. I upset the table of stone figures of the traditional game called Edge. “Sorry.” I say, laughing and bending to pick the pieces. Yes, my tongue has grown back in his chambers, one of the reasons I’m letting him keep me here with excuses. I can keep my tongue in his chambers and by the indulgent smile on his face, he doesn’t mind me keeping it either. “I‘m shaking with fear.” He drawls. “There’s no way that’s luck.”“Blasphemy!” I gasp. “You aren’t ready for me. I’m coming for your streak.”“I’m impressed.” He says, helping me to put back the pieces. “Nobody has ever beat me in a
NeemThe way his lips make me feel... I shouldn’t feel like that. They move over mine in a featherlight press and I feel it in every part of my body. I’ve been kissed before, but there is something about being kissed by someone so incredibly powerful that sets my senses on fire. It’s the same act, but this is so different from anything I’ve ever felt with Aden. Shit. I pull back suddenly, my drunken stupor breaking and he blinks down at me with the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. “I can’t.” I whisper.His finger traces my bare collarbone and my eyes slide shut with ecstasy.“Can’t you?” He asks. It’s the most sexually forward he has ever been with me and it throws me for a loop. He really looks different tonight, like he might be intoxicated. “If I dip my head between your thighs and part your sex, will I find you dry as parchment?”He knows he won’t. His words incite an answering dribble of sex fluid that makes my thigh clench and chagrined, I reach for the sheets to cover mys
CelineI put on the performance of my life for my father. As nice it would be to run crying daddy and have him rescue me, I know Lor will never let me go willingly. Convincing my father I was fine and would come to him very very soon was the only way to prevent a full-on war between the two men that had become important in my life. I don’t worry so much about Lor but about my family, people from my pack, friends I’ve made here. So I smiled and hid it from my father that I am as good as a captive with Lor watching the entire time. He can go suck a dick as much as I’m concerned. No explanation can undo the unforgivable thing he did under my nose. As my mate, that is the last thing I should be worried about. My trust in him should be complete so I wasn’t flying ahead of myself when I gave him my heart. For whatever reason he crushed my heart with his claws and betrayed my trust, I will make him suffer for it. And he does. Nessa pushes my door open, making an exasperated noise. “Are y
