kisses of vengeance

-ANNA-"How sure are you?" I asked, my voice unsteady. The doctor gazed back at me, a smile on his face as he handed me the paper, which I realized was the result of the test. He nodded his head, and I found myself skimming through the content, my hands trembling as I tried to figure out the truth. "It's a boy!" I yelled unconsciously. He chuckled a bit before handing me an envelope of what seemed to be medicine and procedures to keep the baby healthy until birth. We both rejoiced until he dropped the billion-dollar question, "When do you plan to tell the Alpha?" My lover, my husband, the Alpha of the Flaming Moon pack, Jake Sparrow, known for his might and amazing intellectual ability, would probably be surprised that I had conceived after three years of searching. When I first realized that I had conceived, I tried telling him, but he waved it off to go on a business trip. "Two months," he said to me before he left, but he didn't respond to calls and had only just returned yeste

At some point some sides didn't believe in the moon goddess's rule and decided to be promiscuous, adding another wolf to their mating circle. They were to be punished really badly, but after numerous pleas, the rules were adjusted. A divorce or rejection could enable you to cut off your mate, but there was a disadvantage beneath it. If one of the partners is forced off and he or she seeks revenge, a rite of passage known as the kiss of vengeance must be held.The kiss of vengeance acts as a guilt trigger. Every layer of memory that could have been hidden or forgotten comes back to haunt you, and you find yourself regretting ever leaving. These memories haunt him till he kills himself or leaves the throne. But a strong Alpha would need one on the lips or ten on the hand to bring him down. With Jake giving me one, I knew he would be able to r
