There she was, curled up in a tiny ball of golden fluff, sleeping without a care in the world. My hand reached out to touch her but stopped short, hovering over her shiny fur.She was magnificent. I knew Grace had struggled growing up not knowing her wolf, feeling rejected but just this small look at her told me she was worth the wait.The power radiated off her, emitting a warning of death and destruction to all those who crossed her.She whinnied softly in her sleep and I placed my hand under her snout, letting her catch on to my scent to assure her I was still around and watched with amazement as she settled back to sleep immediately.She was a wolf that would do any Alpha proud. She may be small but she was solid muscle. Just like Grace had become. Why was she so determined to hide her from me? Was she scared of my rejection? Or worse, did her wolf now hate me? Had I ruined our chances of bonding?Her wolf had only appeared once mine was around

"Where did you learn to dance like that?" he breathed, his voice coming across thick with lust. I swallowed hard, my eyes stuck in a rhythm of drifting down to the huge bulge in his trousers and back to his face with evident nerves. This is what I had been aiming for, wasn't it? I had wanted to toy with the alpha.I just had no idea he would be so... so... I don't even know. I was overwhelmed, seeing the evidence of his arousal, the open, wild want in his eyes as he pinned me to the spot with his piercing gaze. I swallowed again, my tongue darting out to wet my lips that had suddenly grown dry. Duke followed my actions causing a dart of desire to hit me, my pussy clenching as the first waves of passion began to take over me."Grace?" he repeated, standing in front of me now, reaching out to grab a lock of my hair, twisting it around his fingers."I... the other warriors..." I paused again, once more wetting my lips. I couldn't believe that was my voice, it sound

The call with Khaos lasted all of 30 seconds. Even in that brief moment, I could tell something had happened. He sounded monotone and dead inside - something I would expect with a background such as his, but he had always remained upbeat with me. All he would tell me was that he needed somewhere to stay for a while to clear his head. Of course, I said yes. He hung up soon after.I wasn't in the mood for talking either, but Khaos had been a perfect excuse. Now I was left with an endless amount of time on my hands as Grace said goodbye to her father. As much as I had wanted to stay with her, I knew she needed her privacy at this moment.My mind was reeling. I had been conditioned to believe that Grace had tried to seduce her father. I hadn't believed it at the time but when more and more evidence came to light, as well as Grace's silence, it was difficult to remain true to her. Now though, now I was seeing things in a whole different wayWhy would she hold such re

A gasp resounded around the compound the second I had pinned Duke to the floor. I saw the brief warning flash through his dark eyes, quickly followed by a cloud of anger.I let my tongue loll out as I cocked my head to the side- the equivalent of a wolfy grinAre you giving up already? I projected to him, loving the power I had over him at that moment nothing in this life comes for free, Duke. You want me as your mate, you have to earn itSurges of excitement ran through my veins, my wolf almost salivating at the thought of what was to come. Was there anything better than having your mate chase you down? To use all your wits to out manoeuvre him, to have him show his strength and intelligence until eventually, inevitably, he had you pinned beneath him, his own little conquest for the taking.Honestly, I grew wet at the mere thought. Oh yeah, we needed this right nowMy wolf growled at Duke once more, bending her head low to deliver a painful nip to

Duke spun on his heal, walking away from me and into the en suite bathroom. Before I had chance to register what was happening, he had pulled out the full length mirror and placed it directly in front of me.I stared at him with a puzzled frown, bringing my legs tight together, my cheeks growing hot with embarrassment as I was forced to look at the evidence of my own glaring arousal.Duke tutted, slowly moving around me until he was st my back, sinking to his knees behind me as he brushed the hair off my shoulder, exposing my neck, his other hand creeping up my stomach and up to my tits. He grabbed a handful of one and then the other, his fingers circling around my nipped until they were stiff, erect peaks. He murmured his approval in my ear, his husky voice sending a shiver of anticipation racing through my body.His hand moved further up my body to wrap around my neck, giving a gentle squeeze."Do you like toying with your alpha?" He whispered, his brea
