It’s just me,” he said like that explained everything. Even in the dark, I could see his smirk. His lips brushed mine, slow and teasing, but his hand moved higher until it cupped my breast, his fingers teasing with my nipple.“Get off me, you asshole,” I snapped, trying to shove him away.Big mistake.He only grinned wider, something primal flashing in his eyes. “Feisty tonight.”With one swift move, he grabbed the back of my hair and pulled me in for a violent kiss. His mouth was hot and demanding, his tongue pushing into mine with wine on his breath. My heart pounded, but it wasn’t fear that made me melt into him—it was my wolf.I hated how quickly she surrendered. How her hunger tangled with mine until I wrapped my legs around his waist and let him lift me off the couch like I weighed nothing. He kicked the door shut and tossed me onto the mattress; I gasped, flipping my hair away from my face.He stripped in front of me without a word. His body looked even more powerful than I rem
THIRD PERSON’S POV."Can you quit tapping your pen on the table? You're distracting me," Lucas said, irritated.Noah dropped the pen. "That stubborn girl," he cussed, running his hand through his scattered hair. "She just keeps ruining my plans.""Why don't we get another girl to act like our mate? Someone more submissive and easy to control," Lucas suggested. "We both know she will slow us down, so why bother?""The lycan king knows about Sasha, and if we want him to think we are capable and responsible, we need to make amends with her," Noah explained.Lucas furrowed his brows. "Is he also aware that Sasha is an omega, way below our league?""I tried to tell him that, but he said if the moon goddess sees her fit to be our mate, then so be it," Noah replied."I wonder why the lycan king is so concerned about our mate," Lucas questioned."Me too, but that's the least of my worries. Right now, I need Sasha to like us," Noah hissed.The Lycan King was the last of his kind, the original
CHARLES FOX. It has been four months since I last saw the woman of my dreams. The angel who stole my breath away, the mysterious lady who made me feel things I have never felt with anyone. For a long time, I fantasized about the day I would finally meet my mate, to hold her in my arms lovingly, to show her all the love she deserves, and more. To be the best mate she could ever ask for, but when I finally found her, she slipped right out of my arms, never to be seen again. I have searched tirelessly for her, for my Morana, but not one person at the party, not even the host, had heard of her name. Every night, I dream of her, that we are in the masquerade ball once again, dancing together, and every time I try to remove her mask, I wake up, never seeing her beautiful face. I wondered if she thought of me like I did her, that I consumed her mind every waking hour like she did mine. The memories of the kiss we shared were a bittersweet feeling because why I was intoxicated by it, she
SAGE POV. The moment I stepped through the academy gates, I knew I had made a terrible mistake.I had expected it to be an all-boys academy. That much was clear. But I hadn’t fully grasped the insanity of being the only girl in a place filled with strong powerful male wolves. Even with my hair cut short and my brother’s clothes hanging off me, I looked like a weaker, scrawnier version of them.I stiffened, clutching the strap of my bag tighter. I had never been this close to so many boys before. Sure, I had seen them at mating ceremonies, but those were different. They were dressed in their finest clothes, combed and perfumed, trained to be on their best behavior.But here… this was their natural state. Loud, rough, unfiltered and shirtless. One boy sprinted past me, nearly knocking me over as he chased another, both of them laughing wildly. Another stood nearby, cracking his neck, his muscles flexing with every movement. Two more were casually arguing about who could take down a wi
SAGE POV.I have always wanted to find my mate but now was not the time nor the place, especially not with him. Alpha Roman had been rumored to be a man of principle and if he was he felt the bond, then… could he tell I was a girl?If he did, I was done for.The academy would throw me out. Worse, my stepmother would drag me home, and my father would stand by and let her marry me off to that old arrogant man.I was so lost in my thought that I did not realise we were now standing in Roman’s room.“What’s wrong with you?” Roman asked. I instinctively crossed my arms across my chest, I had wrapped my small boobs under many layers of bandage.but I used my hands as protection in case I had not conceal my breast enough. “Nothing,” I frowned. “You are blushing,” he said, arching his eyebrow. I choked on air. “Wh—what?”Roman leaned against the bedpost watching me like a predator.Seconds passed, but he didn’t say anything. No mention of the bond. No sign that he felt it. Maybe he could t
SAGE POV. I stood near the cafeteria entrance, holding my food tray while scanning the place. Every table was filled except for Roman’s. He sat alone at the far end of the hall, casually twirling a knife between his fingers as he glared at me. It was as if he was making it clear that no one was welcome to sit beside him. But I wasn’t stupid enough to want to sit with him—not after he threw me out of our room, and definitely not after the way he had been watching me since I walked in.I swallowed hard, shifting my tray. Shit. Where do I sit?Then, out of nowhere, someone called out.“Oi! New kid!”I turned toward the direction of the sound to see a blond boy waving at me.He scooted closer to his friend, tapping the empty space on the bench between them. “C’mon, before you embarrass yourself standing there.” I hesitated for half a second before heading toward them.“Thanks,” I muttered, sliding onto the bench.The moment I sat down, their scents hit me. Alphas. Both of them.The b
