Kane My eyes widen in surprise. I didn't expect Selena to react like this, not in a million years.  But the surprise fades, and I grin at her as I approach the bed, "Your wish is my command, my lady. You've just signed up for the entire mating heat and many more to come."  Now, it's my turn to wiggle my eyebrows, slightly mocking Selena.  She laughs and stretches her limbs. I'm pretty sure Selena has forgotten that she's still completely naked.  I can't take my eyes off her- I take in each shape, every curve, and admire the perfection of her body. I've always known that curvy women are beautiful, but I never thought I'd be blessed with o

Selena    The apartment door opens, and I immediately hide under the bed. I have no idea why the instinct to hide kicks in, but I'm rather happy it exists.    Since I'm mated to Kane, it puts me in some danger; that's a proven fact.    Someone is walking around the room, constantly looking for something. At first, the person might have said something, but the chaos and fear in my head make it impossible to understand a word.    I want to get out of my hiding spot, but I'm too scared. On the other hand, what if it's Kane and I'm just being paranoid? He usually calls for me when he comes home, so maybe it isn't him.    As the footstep

Selena I break the kiss, panting for breath. He holds me tight to his body as if he's afraid to let go.  I look into his eyes and try my best to remember the beast's name. "Onyx, could you give Kane the control? I get it; you want to spend some time with me, but I need to talk to him." "Anything for you, mate," the beast growls, and a moment later, the hands around my waist don't hold me as tightly anymore. There is a huge difference between Kane and his beast- Kane's way more gentle.  "Are you tired?" Kane whispers as he traces feather-light kisses down my neck.  "A little," my voice sounds hoarse as I tilt my head to give him more access.&n

Kane   "You didn't intend to do that, but I feel used. You fucked me like you were fucking a bitch and then peeled yourself away from me like I'm toxic." Selena's eyes finally travel up to meet mine in the reflection of the mirror.    I can't describe the things I'm feeling now. The regret of what I have done and the awareness that I hurt my mate tear me apart. But it's not about me, and it never would be. It's all about Selena and her feelings.    "I'm so sorry, I lost control and took you as if you were a wolf, which, of course, you aren't. I was horrified when I realised what I was doing. That's why I got away from you so suddenly. I'm so damn sorry, Selena. Are you hurt or in pain? Did I hurt you inside? Maybe you need a doctor? I can call one right now; he, no

Kane  Despite her pleas to let her go alone, I decide to drive her to the packhouse to ensure Selena's safety. No matter how much time we spend together or how close we get, I can't let her go. I've learned to trust Selena, but I can't say the same thing about my mother. Not even close. And I still need to learn how to trust the pack members who live under my mother's roof. The heat season is over, and everyone's getting back into the swing of things, but I still can't be absolutely sure of that yet either. All I want to do is protect Selena and keep her safe until I'm sure there's no danger to her life. "I know the way to the packhouse; it wouldn't bother me if I had to walk, you know. Besides, you have an imp
