I barely made it out of the settlement before something large and heavy knocks into me from the side. Knocking both myself and Rosalie sprawling across the floor. I am quick to get back up onto my feet and stand over Rosalie in a protective stance, my teeth barred as a wolf comes into view. A black wolf stands before me, so like my own it was uncanny. My mother had always joked that me and my uncle were so alike that if she hadn’t given birth to me, she should wonder that I was William’s son after all. And now, seeing him standing before me once again, I could understand why. The only different between us. Was the grotesque scar that ran the length of his face, and the milky white eye from a long-ago injury.   He shifted back into his human self. Gesturing for me to do the same. Reluctantly I followed his suit. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to communicate with him unless I could talk, but I was reluctant to leave Rosalie unprotected. “Ne

Rosalie The water hit my skin like shards of glass running through my veins. Wincing against the pain as Alexander holds me and gently lowers me into the water. I try to clamber away from the torture, but he holds me firm, whispering words of encouragement to me. I could barely hear what he says, the pain is all I can think about. “It hurts.” I cry out, trying to break away. “I know, but this is the quickest way to warm you.” His words were soft and brushed through me like a gentle caress. I look up at him through my teary eyes and try to relax back into the bath. My whole body spasming as the intense heat engulfs me. Eventually, the pain begins to ease, and rather that the feeling the two extremes of hot and cold all at once, my body temperature begins to rise, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I could feel my fingers and toes again. I look down at my body, noting how my fingernails were caked in mud,

I fell in and out of consciousness. Each time I came around I tried once again to open the door or to gain someone’s attention, only to be pulled back under by the burning need within me and the darkness dancing around my peripheral vision. I could no longer hear Nancy’s shuffling outside my door. Everything was silent. That was until the pain in my gut kicked in once more, and the silence was broken by my garbled moans. I tried to push through the pain, but I could barely move past wrapping myself into the foetal position. Even when the door was pushed open and I was forced back by the door, I didn’t notice. It was like all of my other senses had been turned off, and pain was all I could feel. “Rosalie.” A concerned voice echoes through my mind, but I couldn’t place who it was, or where it came from. I cried out as another wave hit me. “Shit, Rosalie, I need you to get up for me sweetheart.” The voice came again. Could it be…? No, it couldn’t be Alexander, t

We fell asleep in each other’s arms soon after. Both completely naked and spent from the love making. But our reprieve didn’t last for long. My heat was not done with us yet. And when I woke up once again in a hot sweat, the first thing I sought out was Alexander’s form next to me. Much to my surprise, he was still there, holding me close to him. Unlike me, he was wide awake and casting his watchful gaze upon me. “It’s started again.” I whisper, feeling my cheeks heat at the embarrassment of the situation we found ourselves in. “I know.” Was all said as he shuffled down the bed and back under the covers. “You know?” “I can smell you little mate.” He all but growls, taking me by surprise as his lips come down and place a tender kiss on the mound of my breast. I suck in a moan at the electric shock that it spikes in my chest. “You can smell me?” I try to keep my thoughts straight as Alexander sucks in a pert nippl

“Rosalie…” Alex warns in a husky voice. Lust evident in his eyes. “Now is not the time to be playing around with me.” “I’m not playing with you Alex. I’m being serious….” I look him dead in the eyes. My hand lifting and cupping my heavy breast underneath my thick dressing gown. “I want you to take me right here under the stars.” He sucks in a deep breath as he watches my hand give my breast a gentle squeeze. I could see the thickness of his own arousal spasming in his trousers and it screams to be released. “No Rosalie.” He denies once more, his desire obvious as his blue eyes darken in wanting. “Please Alex.” I whisper, looking up at him through my lashes, a slight pout on my face. He shifts uncomfortably on the spot. “You want me to take you here, right now? Where my men can sit and watch me fuck you?” He looks at me incredulously, a small tick in his cheek as he tries to keep his temper under control.   “Alex, its dark,
