“Take me, please?” I shuddered as sweet relief flooded through me and ached for more. “If you want me, you can have me, all of me, but you might not like what I ask in return.” He gritted teeth as if he was tested by his own self-control. I could feel his struggle, judging by the tightening of his hard muscles pressed against my back. He was rough tonight, as if he was here to punish me for being a very naughty girl. *** Outcast and wolfless Amelia Hayes has been bullied her whole life. Before turning eighteen, she survives the fire, and her handsome alpha, Ryden Braxton rejects and banishes her. Two years later, she returns beautiful and strong, but she also brings threats to the pack. While Ryden wants to claim her, she’s also mystified by her constant sensual dreams of a stranger. With werewolves dying in mysterious deaths, she has to entrust her secret with her mate— the power of fire within her that can cause more destruction than salvation. When her past which she has no memory of, pulls forward to her present, she becomes so drawn to a dangerous Alpha King Lucius with a primal instinct to claim her— the very same man in her dreams. After too many betrayals in his pack, Ryden has to work with his ruthless rival to protect his mate against their formidable foe. Lucius has waited too long to reunite with Amelia but has to put his anger aside to get his revenge against the being who killed his wife and his entire pack twenty years ago. With Amelia still bound to her past and present, will she choose between the two alphas who equally love her, or choose the one that sacrifices a lot for her to live?
View MoreRYDEN “We came from Tahoma. Our small pack was attacked by vampires. I didn’t believe it at first, but then a sheriff said, those dead bodies were drained out of blood.” “So you survived? You and a kid survived? How’s it even possible?” Zeph asked, not buying her story. I wouldn’t believe it, too, if I didn’t encounter vampires two nights ago. “I picked up Romy from school and then we went to his grandpa in town. We got home around 8 PM, and there were sheriffs and three college boys who went to a frat party. We’re the only what were left in our pack. Our alpha was killed, too.” It was either they were lucky that the vampires attacked while they were away or she was involved. “They left the frat party at eight? Lady, you better tell us the truth or I will call the cops for trespassing.” “I swear to the Goddess I am telling the truth. I came here because there’s been a talk in the pack about a young werewolf who helped people. I wouldn’t have come here if I could get killed.” Horr
RYDEN We reached the perimeter in the south. The boys had been sniffing rogues for the last two days, but tonight they hadn’t spotted one. I ignored Zeph’s eyes on me on our way there. I knew he had something to say but held it back. I scanned the woods ahead, and there were no movements, on the trees, too. “The scents are gone. Did they move to the west?” “Or they’re done with their job and left. Maybe this area is a weak spot. Is the camera on that tree working?” I pointed at the old tree to my left. “Yeah. Every camera works just fine.” “Or it plays in a loop, and Jeong Lee and Seven didn’t notice it.” He looked at me for a moment before he spoke. “Let’s check it out.” “No. I have a bad feeling about this. We have to scan for the bear traps. Just call Jeong Lee or Seven to recheck the footage.” “No. I’ll do it. I’ll be very careful.” “Fine, but if you get injured, you’ll explain to Amelia that I didn’t coerce you to get your foot stuck in the bear traps.” A smile lifted
AMELIA Lucius shook his head. “I didn’t see him again. I prayed for him to come for three days, but he didn’t show up. My mother was wounded, too, but you were worse. You were so pale as a sheet. You were burning with fever, and you didn’t turn because you wouldn’t make it.”“Oh, Goddess.” My voice broke. I could barely hear my own words. I shuddered as I stared at him. This was the guilt he’d been carrying for two decades, eating him up alive. It was too much even for an alpha and a man as strong as Lucius. No wonder he was this way, so protective, and tried to save many lives, it was his penance for taking my own life.“My mother believed it had something to do with your blood. She treated you and made you comfortable. While the whole pack was busy burying and burning our dead, I still wore the same clothes I had on our wedding day. She saw my grief.” He shook his head, tears rolled down his face. “I’m sorry.” I hugged him tight. “I’m so sorry you have to watch me die.” “That wa
AMELIA I woke up gasping. My heart was racing. I could barely breathe in anger. That son of a bitch killed me. And the dream was real. How was it even possible? I could smell him all over me. I still felt everything, the ripples of pleasure, and the wetness between my legs. “Shit.” I got up from bed and went to the bathroom for a quick shower. My body was still shaking in anger. Once I was done, I changed to my old clothes and grabbed my things. AMELIA: Dad, can you do something for me? DAD: Of course, honey. Name it. AMELIA: Can you pull up records of Amelia Celine Reidshaw and Alexander Lucius Whitmann? Please, don’t ask. I love you, Dad. Thanks. I called Ryden on the way. “Hey, ‘bug.” He sounded like he was sleeping, his voice groggy. “Oh, shit. I’m sorry to wake you up.” “It’s fine. Should I come to pick you up?” “No, baby. Change of plan. I have something to take care of. Do you trust me?” “Why do I feel like you’re about to do something that gets you killed or makes
AMELIA He didn’t give me a chance to recover from my shock. He yanked my legs apart and settled in between. I gasped as he folded my knees, spread my thighs apart, and buried his face between my legs. Then he sucked me hard. My hips bucked as I cried out, clenching my fingers into his head, pulling his hair out. I was conflicted between pushing his face to my pussy because it felt so good or pulling him away because of embarrassment. He ate like it was his last meal or he was starving and locked up for years. When he made a low humming that vibrated through my aching core, I moaned loudly. With his grip tightening into the flesh of my hips, he shoved his tongue deep inside me and began to fuck me. I rocked my hips against his face, pushing his head down the same way he worked his tongue in and out. I could feel and hear my wetness pooling. I could feel my skin tightening, and my muscles clenching. He must have felt I was close to orgasm. He reached for my breasts, kneading them,
AMELIA We made it back to the pack. Ren was still sleeping at the infirmary. Mom has seen him, and so far he was recovering well, but he had received another bag of blood. “Let’s go home.” Ryden took my hand and kissed it. I looked at him. “Can I stay here for a while? I’ll be home tonight.” He thought for a moment before he nodded. “I’ll come back to pick you up. I need to change.” It brought a smile to my lips. “You hate it, don’t you?” “Not the shirt, Amelia.” He smiled too. “Okay. I’ll see you, later.” I tiptoed to kiss him on the lips, and he wrapped one arm around my waist, the other at the back of my head as he deepened the kiss. I smiled to our lips as I kissed him back. His kiss went from soft to passionate until someone cleared a throat before us that pulled us apart. “Honey, get a room.” My cheeks burned. “Sorry, Mom.” “Well, I’m not.” Ryden smiled at her. “I have to go.” He kissed me one more time before he left. I sat down for a while with Ren when I started y
RYDEN I was about to knock on the door when Amelia opened it. Behind her was Lucius. It always pissed me off how it was easy for him to come between us and felt no guilt, while I was grateful at the same time that he didn’t choose violence to get Amelia away from me, considering his nature. “Alpha, you gotta change your shirt. Here.” She has Lucius’ shirt with her. “Mine is so big.” “I’m good thanks.” “Come on. Take it. I wanna go down and check on Ren.” She pushed it to my chest and walked away. “You have the same size.” “We’re not the same size,” we said in unison, making her chuckle. Lucius and I looked at each other. Then he said, “Put that on. She chose that for you.” “You can’t just stay away from her, can you, asshole?” I pulled off my shirt and put on his gray shirt. “I won’t until she’s safe.” I stared at him before I spoke. “When this is over, will you stay away from her and leave us in peace?” “Are you threatened by me, Ryden?” When I didn’t answer, he added, “Yo
AMELIA Lucius’ bedroom was twice the size of Ryden’s. It was huge with a fireplace at the end. His king-size bed was well-made with silk duvet and pillows. The space was more masculine than downstairs, decorated in an entire black shade, and smelled of expensive cologne. At the corner was the door. Flicking the lights on, a sophisticated and impressive bathroom came in full view with a floor-to-ceiling window that overlook the skyline. He never ceased to impress me with how he managed to live two lives, a powerful alpha, and a wanted criminal, yet he was here with his luxury penthouse. I shook my head in amusement as I entered the bathroom. I went to his solid stone bathtub, and I was tempted to soak for an hour and drink his wine, but then my friend was still healing. I took off my blood-soaked t-shirt. The strap of my bra had also blood on it. I washed my hair clean and wrapped it with a clean towel. My effort to wipe off the blood on my skin was paused when I realized I wasn’t
AMELIA “Oh, Goddess! I’m glad you’re back.” I threw myself at Ryden without knowing he was hurt until he hissed. “Oh, no. Were you beaten? I trusted him. I thought he’d watch your back.” “He did, my love. I wasn’t bitten. Just clean it up for me later.” “Where’s Ren?” My eyes immediately widened as I saw Lucius carrying unconscious Ren while Chance had Archibald. “Are they okay?” “Nora, call Zarah to come here quickly,” Ryden told her while I just stared at them. “Boss, are you hurt?” Drak asked Lucius. “No, I’m okay.” He looked at me. “Bring Archibald the blood. He needs it or he’s gonna die.” I blinked rapidly to process what he said. “What about Ren?” “Those motherfuckers drunk on him. He lost a lot of blood, but he’s alive,” Chance said. “This is all your fault, asshole!” I lunged into him only to be caught by Lucius. “Let me go! Let me kill him myself.” “You can’t kill him or we’re gonna have another enemy, Amelia. Calm down.” “Just let me go, Lucius. I swear to the Go
AMELIA Tahoe, twenty-six months ago I wondered how long it would take to die. So this was how I died— so brutal— burn to ashes. What did I do to deserve this? Was this what it felt like to be trapped in hell for eternity? Smoke and fire were the only things I could see, obliterating the home where I grew up. “Help!” I screamed out loud as I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them as I watched the fiery flames devour my bedroom door, leaving me no way to escape. The crackling sound was horrifying. I was the weakest, the tiniest in the pack. At sixteen, I couldn’t even call myself a werewolf as I hadn’t shifted yet, which always got me bullied. Tears blurred my eyes. Thick smoke began suffocating my lungs, making it hard to breathe. Sweat covered my whole body as heat seemingly slowly melted my skin. I’d never been so terrified in my entire life until today as the flames began crawling over the pink carpeted floor. In point of fact, I didn’t want to die this w...
