The water dripped down my skin, cold and scalding but it could not soothe the fire burning with a feral intensity inside of me. I tilted my head backwards, my finger curling against the slick tile as another wave of heat throbbed in my lower belly. It was intoxicating and at the same time agonizing. It was coming soon, I could feel it. I thought I had a little more time to at least fight or control it. To suppress that primal, raw urge and ache that had been slowly building up for some days now. But unfortunately, it had come too suddenly and I couldn't control my body from betraying me. I couldn't stop the thick slick pooling between my thighs, the way my knees trembled beneath me or the way my nipples erect and throbbed under the water. I was in heat. And I couldn't control it, it was unbearable. With each shaky breath I took, my lungs were filled with that intoxicating scent of cedarwood and dominance. Zane. It belonged to him. It lingered in all corners of the hall, the walls, the towels! Even the fucking floor I stood on! I took a deep, shaky breath, a soft sigh escaping my lips, my eyes fixed to the ceiling. Zane was not even home. I convinced myself about that before entering the shower, stumbling, barely walking straight. I had convinced myself that I was safe, he wasn't here. But much to my horror, my words became a bland lie when I heard the floorboard creak just outside the bathroom. I widened my eyes, my heart stopping. No….no, no, no! I jolted up, panic flooding my chest as I quickly turned off the faucet. In an instant, I was hot, cold and frozen all at once, my heart pounding vigorously in my chest as I held my breath, listening. There was silence then….. A slow click, the door unbolted. The hairs on my skin rose, my eyes flying open. I had bolted it, I was very sure it was locked. “Za…Zane?” I croaked, my voice faint and almost inaudible. “Sto…stop…..” The bathroom door creaked open. There he was, my almighty step-brother. Six foot four of muscle and threat. Wide shoulders covered in a black shirt that stuck to every inch of him. His jaw was tight, hard enough to break bone. But it was his eyes that stopped me, those golden, shining balls flickering with leader power. He caught the scent. He smelled me. “Fuck” a low growl rumbled from his chest, low and rough but it stirred up something within me. “What did you think? That I wouldn't smell that?” I flexed my knee to my chest. “Get out” I muttered, barely able to hold myself upright. He arched his brows slightly as he stepped in fully, shutting the door behind him as it locked with a loud, taunting click. “I warned you not to wear that fucking towel around me, Ember” he growled, his nostrils flaring slightly as his eyes scanned every inch of my soaked, naked body. “You knew the effect it has on me” I stood up in a start, almost stumbling, water still dripping from my body and inner thighs. “I…I didn't expect…expect it to come early” I whispered in a stutter, my voice shaky. “You didn't expect it?” He repeated, his voice echoing as he inched closer to me. “Tsk…” he clicked his tongue. “Bullshit. For three days now you've been reeking of raw, untamed arousal. You've been dripping through your panties in every corner of my house and you thought I wouldn't notice?” My breath hitched. “This is our house, not yours, Zane” I snapped, a slight frown forming on my face. “You don't own me nor this house” He was silent, he didn't need to say anything. Because the second those words rolled out of my lips, his wolf came at the edge, pushing forward as he slammed into me like a wall, paralyzing me. “Ahh!” I whimpered as my back hit the cold tile of the shower before I could even process what the hell was going on. My breath hitched as I gasped, struggling to break free but unfortunately, he pinned my wrists above my head with one of his hands. The other grabbed my wet hair in a tight fist as he buried his face in my neck. “You belong to me” he snarled slowly. “Say it” “Never” I breathed, ignoring the urge in my body to yell out ‘yes’ a thousand times over. “Fuck it” he growled again, his tongue tracing the column of my throat. I shivered under his touch, legs trembling as my core throbbed. My scent was stronger, wet with arousal and desperate. “Say it” he snarled, grinding his hips into mine. “Say you belong to me Ember. Or I swear….” “No” I cut him off, hissing. “You….you are my step-brother” my voice came out weak, almost trailing. “We aren't related by blood,” he sneered. “Just a fucked up law. No force on this earth is stronger than the bond that connects us both” Before I could realize what was happening, his lips crashed against mine. I screamed, mumbling against his mouth, it was not in fear, but because it felt as though I was being consumed. I squirmed, but not hard enough. I should have fought harder, I should have stopped him! But I didn't, in fact, I couldn't. His tongue thrust past my lips into my mouth, raw and possessive. As his thigh pushed between mine, a moan tore through my throat. I was soaking wet, heat slick dripping down my thighs onto my legs. “Fuck!” He groaned against my skin as though it drove him mad. “You smell like need, like fucking desire! Like you've been rubbing yourself thinking about me” “I…I haven't” I lied, clenching my teeth as I tilted my head backwards. “Liar” he snarled. Finally, he let go of my wrists but I didn't move, I couldn't. Then, he leaned in, kissing me again, this time slower as though he was savoring every inch of my lips, how I tasted and every hitch of my breath. “Zane….” I muttered under my breath, letting him do what he wanted. "I'm trying," he growled against my lips. "I'm trying to be good. I'm trying to walk away. But you…." He grabbed my hips, pulled me forward. My legs wrapped around his waist without me thinking. His dick was hard, thick, and hot even through his jeans, and it pressed against me with a promise I wasn't ready for. Or maybe I was. "You want me to stop?" he whispered, his forehead against mine, his breath shaky. Silence. Then….. ”No.” I whispered. That was all it took. He ripped his shirt off, and I gasped. I'd seen him without a shirt before, but not like this. Not when I was this turned on and shaking and needing him. His body was built from anger and power, every part of him screaming dominance. His stomach muscles tightened as he unbuckled his belt, letting it fall with a soft clink on the floor. “You’re not leaving here without me touching you, Ember,” he said in a low tone. “Not when your smell’s been driving me crazy. Not when my wolf’s ready to burst out of my skin just to get to you.” “You shouldn't crave me” I whispered, my heart pounding. “You…you said it yourself, I was a mistake” He paused for a brief second, lifting his hand towards my face as he tilted my face upward. “You are a mistake, yes, but…..” he murmured, his golden orbs searching for mine. “You are my favourite one” His fingers then trailed between my breasts, slow, menacing and possessive. “I'm going to ruin you and make sure you're mine alone” Then I felt it….. His hands slipped even lower, down my stomach, between my thighs. I swallowed a moan as he found the slick heat there. “Ahh….” He purred. “So wet, all for me” His mouth returned to me quickly, hot and intense and then he knelt down. His tongue, lips, and teeth created a sensation that was overwhelming. I cried out, holding his hair, as the pleasure washed over me repeatedly. When he stood up again, his eyes shone brighter than before. “Turn around,” he commanded, his voice rough. I obeyed, placing my hands on the tile for support. A second later, I felt him behind me, thick and hard, pressing against me. “This changes everything,” he said, voice softer now. Almost… broken. “You know that, right?” “Yes,” I whispered. “I know.” Just as he was about to thrust into me, we heard it. The unmistakable sounds of footsteps. No, not now. My stepfather. The floor creaked outside the bathroom, and for a moment, everything was quiet. But Zane wasn't bothered. He smiled with a carefree attitude, his golden eyes shining with confidence. He didn't stop or hesitate. Instead, he looked at the door, then back at me. "No one will see us," he said softly, but with a hint of challenge. He wasn't scared, he was excited by the danger. My stepfather's voice could be heard from the other side, faint but clear. "Zane?" Zane laughed quietly, his hand touching the cool tile next to me, his body so close I could feel its warmth. He wasn't afraid at all. If anything, he wanted a reason to take things further. "Get out," I whispered urgently, feeling a knot of panic in my stomach. With one last, playful smirk, Zane didn't hurry. He moved slowly, his eyes meeting mine one last time before he quietly slipped away, his body making barely a sound as he disappeared into the hallway. After he was gone, I released the breath I didn't realize I was holding. If we were caught, that meant one thing; Death.Ember's POV I moaned under my breath, turning in my sleep to the light that shone so brightly on my face, as though about me make me blow blind. The sheets underneath my skin felt familiar, although soaked in my own sweat. Every inch of my body ached painfully, making me wince in pain once again. Thankfully, the wounds on my ribs was slowly healing, although as a normal wolf it should have healed completely. But I wasn't normal, no. Not after what I had been put through after returning back to the hellhound pack house. When I tried to shift my body, my thighs subconsciously clenched tightly, making shiver or arludal run down my spine. And my throat? The skin was raw, filled with bite and kiss marks and unspoken promises and I still reeked of his scent mixed with sweat, Zane's. As I tried to get up, the soreness I felt between my legs made my thoughts drift back. Two nights ago was a night I could not forget in a hurry, no. It reminded me of memories I didn't mind reliving for
Zane's POV“She's not healing properly….” I replied. “Her wounds are still open, weak as fuck and useless even in a fight with a little child. But….she still refuses to break” As I said those words, the room seemed to grow deadly silent, I saw as Magnus slightly raised a brow, but he said nothing. But then, Lucien finally broke the silence with a scoff. “Kill her if she's that useless, then” I clenched my fists tightly in anger but managed to play it cool. “I have a much better idea on what to do with her” I spoke up, my voice calm. That seemed to get Magnus's attention because the next second, he leaned in forward, his fingers slowly tapping the edge of the table. “Please…..do share it with us” “Hand her over to me permanently” I spoke up, half smiling inside of me. My plan seemed to be working. “Let her serve only me as master” Kaela frowned. “And why should we do that? What's she going to be to you? Your pet” “Call it whatever you want….” I replied with a slight shrug. “Dog
Ember's POV Before it was fully dawn, I suddenly woke up, covered in my own sweat. The fire that burned in the hearth at the far end of the room had died down by now, leaving behind the soft glow of the ashy wood, the thick scent of smoke, sweat and the thick, intoxicating scent of sex hovered the the air, wafting into my nostrils and assaulting my senses in the best ways possible. I lazily tilted my head for my side and almost immediately, my eyes widened with shock. On the bed were blood marks all over, all over me and her. She laid next to me, her eyes shut tightly, mouth parted slightly as her chest slowly heaved up and down. She was barely breathing, from what I could make out. Her hair against the pillow was tangled in a mess, her lips cracked and swollen with dried blood stained at the corner of her lips, ancient neck. The skin on her throat had turned reddish purple from gripping it too tight last night and on her hips were fresh marks of my claws, her thighs bruised too.
Ember's POV His hand was still on my throat.Firm. Unforgiving.I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My wolf screamed inside me, frantic, slamming itself against the inside of my ribs like it could claw its way out.This wasn’t him.This wasn’t fucking him.He was gone.Zane was gone.My knees scraped across the cold stone floor, raw and slick with blood and filth. My fingers clawed weakly at his wrist, but he didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. Just stared at me with eyes so dark they looked hollow. Like they’d swallowed every ounce of light that had ever lived in him.“Please…” My voice cracked. Pathetic.His face dipped lower. His breath brushed my cheek.“Begging doesn’t suit you,” he murmured.Then his grip tightened. My vision danced, black curling in the corners.But then....Something.A flicker in his face. A tremble in the fingers wrapped around my throat. A twitch at the corner of his eye.His nostrils flared.“You’re terrified,” he said.I didn’t move. Didn’t speak. I just star
I woke to the sound of thunder splitting the sky.It wasn’t the kind that came from above. This was something deeper. Older. It rolled through the stone walls like a war drum, vibrating against my bones, whispering something ancient and ugly into the marrow of my spine.The pain in my back was a dull, constant throb. I couldn’t move much without the chains cutting into raw skin, but I lifted my head just enough to feel it....that shift in the air. Like something had entered the pack grounds. Something wrong. Something worse than Magnus.Magic.The scent of it slithered through the cracks of my cell, curling around the base of my spine. Bitter. Coppery. Like scorched blood and something dead left to rot in salt.I knew what it meant before the voices started.I knew she’d come.The witch.I heard her before I saw her. Her footsteps didn’t echo, didn’t drag. They whispered. Like silk dragged across wet skin. The wolves above me shuffled, growled low. Some even whimpered. I could hear Ka
Ember's POV The guards hesitated for just a brief second but almost immediately, I felt more than four hands grab my shirt and with one hard pull from all four, it ripped into shreds that couldn't be fixed. I gasped, trying to cover my body as the cold hit my bare skin, making the hairs on my skin rise. But my heat quickly replaced it, and once again, the crowd nearly went insane. Gasps echoed in the courtyard, my scent wafting out like a deadly wrong guy intoxicating poison.“Little bitch” Kaela sneered. “Don't take it as an honour that they are all petrified by your disgusting scent” I said nothing, just lowered my head as a single tear dropped down my cheeks. Then, without even giving me the chance to catch my breath, my skin was met by the first slash of the day across my back. I widened my eyes in shock and horror as fire tore through my body, my muscles aching like I was about to die. I bit down on my lips, hard enough to draw out more blood from the crack. I wasn't given
