Aiden POV I kissed her feverishly. I knew we needed to talk, but that could wait. I wanted her more than I could stand. My eyes grew wide as she took a step back from me and unwrapped her dress, letting it fall to the floor and exposing her body to me. Every inch of her was perfect. Her full breasts rose and fell with her shallow breaths. Her arousal flooding my senses. As we collided again, I was doing my best to keep Ronan at bay. He wanted us to mate and mark her as soon as possible, but the human side of me wanted to pleasure her. I wanted to take my time exploring her body before completing the mate-bond. As my hand started to roam south, almost at her folds, my attention was torn from her at the sound of a familiar voice bellowing through the cave. “Aiden! What the devil are you doing!?” “Blake? What the devil am I doing? What the devil are you doing!?&rdq

Selene POV “As we enter the realm of the gods, as mortals, there are a few key things you must remember. One, assume that anything has the potential to kill you, even if it looks harmless. Two, trust no one other than me. And three, keep your wits about you, distraction could get you killed.” “Right, everything will kill us. Got it.” Blake said teasingly, typical highlander. “This is serious. Aiden is at risk from anyone who comes to learn what he is to me. But in particular, my mother and…. One other.” My mother would be an obstacle, but she was faithful to the old ways and the decisions made by the all-father. In time, I felt she would come to accept Aiden as my fated mate. I had grave concerns about Gabriel though. The archangel was deadly and made no secret of the fact that he was in love with me. How I’d managed to evade him these last few days wa

Selene POV I wanted to follow Aiden but Blake stopped me. “Leave him, Luna. He needs to be alone….” “Was it something I said?” “Perhaps, not intentionally. I don’t think he likes needing to be protected, especially by his mate. He is an Alpha, Selene. He is always the strongest wolf in the room, second only to his Father.” “I understand….”I looked in the direction Aiden had headed when I sensed it. We were not alone, and whoever was with us was powerful. When I apparated, I found myself standing firmly between Aiden and a tense-looking Gabriel. “Selene, I had received word of your return, although I wasn’t expecting you to bring home a dog.” Gabriel cocked his head to one side and looked Aiden up and down. The growl that rumb

Selene POV “Evangeline… long time no see, sister. Although, I find that we are at present seeing far too much. Do cover yourself.” This was Gabriel’s doing. My younger sister was the result of one of my mother’s many affairs. This one with a Sea-Centaur, making Evangeline herself a nymph. Her curse (or some may see it as a blessing) is that males of all species found her irresistible. Judging by the glazed expression on Aiden and Blake’s faces, that was precisely why Gabriel had sent her. To seduce my mate. She lifted her lips in a devilish smirk before brushing her hair away from her face, deliberately exposing her breasts. Her look of triumph faltered when she realised that Blake was the only one of the two men fixated on her. Aiden was looking directly at me, guilt devouring his handsome features. I couldn’t help but return a smirk of my

Aiden POV She was incredible in wolf form. Her fur was the purest white I had ever seen, no hint of imperfection anywhere. Her sapphire blue eyes stood out even more so in contrast. Ronan was in his element as we ran through the maze after her. She was fast. Much faster than an average wolf. Though he’d never admit it, Ronan was struggling to keep pace with her. Running like this, in our wolf forms, completely wild and free, felt natural. Our wolves weren’t hindered in the way our human sides were, well, my human side… Selene’s non-wolf side. They were driven by basic instinct. Wolves mate for life. Ronan knew Liana was his mate; the only thing on his mind was making it permanent. He ached to mark her and claim her as his own, but he knew that wouldn’t be happening until after we had completed the bond in our other forms. It was driving him crazy. “Look at her. She’s perfect. I
