Chapter Fifty-One - The Luna

Tori’s POVIt felt as if my heart was being torn apart, piece by piece. Fran was innocent, yet I’d wondered, as had Calvin. I could see the speculation in his eyes. His expressions were becoming as familiar to me as my bestie’s and I knew there was something wrong.My catch up with Ellie was brief and concerned mainly with the state of Naomi’s health. Then she took me to her locker and changed into street clothes before she drove us back to the packhouse.“You are still coming tonight, aren’t you, even though you’ve found your mate of choice?” I teased her.“If I must.”I knew she was self-conscious about how she looked in a long dress and wanted to put her at her ease. She needed to shine sometime, which was what I told her.The Beta delivered the Alpha’s summons in person. I kicked off, saying, “Why didn’t he just text me?”“He’s forgotten your new number.”The mobile he’d bought me was yet another reminder of him. I knew a mind link was out of the question until I officially joined

Chapter Fifty-Two - Hard To Take In

Calvin’s POVI needed to get away for a while, if only to hide my un Alpha-like emotion. Elation was mixed with the sudden urge to weep with relief and I couldn’t allow anyone to see me in such a state. Who was this she-wolf to unman me like this?The woman I loved beyond reason or sense.She was enormously fragile and could break at any time, despite the tough front. And I’d used her like a booty call. Mom would be ashamed of me, my father less so; in fact, he’d have probably cautioned me against claiming her.I phoned Isabel to let her know the good news. It was Guy who answered her mobile. She was having one of her spells and I was disappointed to learn that she may not be fit enough to come to our wedding. I told him I would delay the ceremony and insisted he bring her to stay for a while.Pulling rank could be useful sometimes. No, make that every time.I should probably have insisted Issy make the effort to attend the ball as I knew how much music cheered her.“You’ll be next,”

Chapter Fifty-Three - Does It Matter?

Tori’s POVI was beginning to think nothing had changed. I was still his toy. Yet now he could force me into things by a kind of emotional blackmail he probably wasn’t aware he was using. To test that theory, and despite my curiosity, I called a halt to our anal adventure.Calvin seemed disappointed, yet he praised me for being willing and still being me, whatever that meant.“We must take that trip down south sometime,” he said, caressing the place he’d marked me.I loved how different his growl sounded now.All at once I shot up in a blind panic.“Has Moore left yet?”“Why? Do you want him to join us? A different first.”“He’s watched me before, if you remember.”“But not participated?”Why did it seem to matter so little to him? That was irritating.“Okay,” I said, dipping my toe in the water.“Never!” It came out as a snarl. “Not now you’re mine.”So I would have been fair game before? Something was very wrong in the shifter world and, in my opinion, it started at the top. The Moo

Chapter Fifty-Four - 'WAX'

Calvin’s POVActing wasn’t a strength of mine but I knew how to appear cold and calculating. Vicious would be a learning curve. Should I pre-warn her? Tori had enough to deal with in any case.The way she was eyeing me now, with suspicion, made me realise how much this could set her back. I had to tell her what to expect, even if that meant admitting I didn’t know the half of it, either.Reluctantly, I showed her the flyer which had come through the mail once I’d approached Tommy. I hadn’t been entirely sure what I was going to do, who I would take, if I would go, and was even less certain of the wisdom of this now.“‘Gore Theme Weekend’. Ugh. You do realise he could be setting his own trap for us?”“It had crossed my mind,” I said. “That may mean he drops his guard.”“I know just where to hit him if he does. ‘The ultimate aim is to make a mess of your slave’. Great. How do they dream them up?” Tori went quiet then. I reckoned she’d reached the so-called good bit. It got even worse ov

Chapter Fifty-Five - Wild Friday

Tori’s POV I really needed a drink and we hadn’t even entered the room. Those loud women weren’t in agony, they were laughing as if they’d been at the bar too long. I hadn’t expected a mixed scene and Calvin’s lips tightened briefly as one of them bent down to pat her male ‘pet’. “I hate you,” I whispered. “If it’s a woman, think yourself lucky.” “You mean you prefer not to wonder if I’m enjoying being fucked every which way by Goddess knows how many males?” “No, I just meant they’re more likely to make you come.” “Are you saying men are inadequate?” “Tori! You are asking for it.” “And I’m going to get it, by the looks of things.” “Females are less likely to whip you bloody.” “Thanks for that. And how do you know?” He looked angry now. “It’s what I’ve heard.” “So, it’s between orgasm denial and forced orgasm. What a choice!” He kissed me then, possessively and for the crowd, his tongue just about devouring my mouth. “That’s better. It shut you up at least.” “You’re prej

Chapter Fifty-Six - An Unlikely Friend

Tori’s POVHis designer shirt was already in tatters from the lashes meted out by Alpha Archer yet Calvin never made a sound. He was still unconscious, the head wound needing all of his wolf’s attention in order for him to heal.If there was a scar, so what? I already had my own, both inside and out.What had the flyer said? Something about gore. Calvin would just hate it when he learned he’d been treated like a male submissive and in public, too. Sick remarks were already doing the rounds about him being a switch.I really hoped, for his sake, this wasn’t being filmed.Suddenly I realised that this could mean war. And I had sounded the alarm. I refused to feel guilty. Us females had been in turmoil far too long.My companion was the next to wield a whip. This one was studded with silver and I heard Calvin’s moans with relief – he was coming round! – and an element of trepidation as to how much longer he could last. Pride didn’t kill you, or losing face, and I knew how incredibly stro

Chapter Fifty-Seven - Desert or Dessert?

Tori’s POVA table had been set for dinner and the guests were all male.“Welcome,” Alpha Thomas boomed. “I understand congratulations are in order. Who’s the lucky man?”I gaped at him, not sure what he meant exactly, though I had a pretty good idea.“Nobody you know,” I lied, fingering my mate’s mark.“Lighten up, Victoria. Aren’t you having fun?”I wanted to tell him he was a sick fuck and no, another minute spent in his company would be nauseating.Instead I said, “Why did you put my employer on display like that?”“A simple flaunting of power. Nothing personal. Come and sit at my feet. My own slave’s lost her head, unfortunately.”Not everyone around the table laughed with him. Alpha Tobias was starting to look extremely uncomfortable unlike his associate, Anthony. The so-called Lycan was present, his face impassive, though when I was in position I could see his clenched fist resting on his thigh.“Remember, she’s off limits, Tommy. According to our code.”The quavering voice bel

Chapter Fifty-Eight - Mind Links And An Extremely Angry Wolf

Calvin’s POVI came round to see I was in a medical facility and my back hurt. Where the fuck was Tori?The first of several mind links alerted me to the seriousness of our situation. She’d contacted Ellie Cooper who had informed Travis we were in trouble and my Beta was concerned as to my welfare.In response to my question, the medic informed me she’d heard I’d been whipped in public. Thaddeus was steaming rather than whimpering. I was just glad I’d missed the whole thing.I thought about my mate, then. That must have been tough on her and she was all alone with these savage monsters. Well, not quite thrown to the wolves. Jason was on our side, and probably Tobias. And I knew my fated mate was stronger than she believed.I cursed myself for bringing us into this unprepared. What had I been thinking? Endangering my fated mate and Luna. It could mean all out war. If that was what it took to stop this kind of thing happening in future, I was prepared to give the go-ahead to start it.M

Chapter Fifty-Nine - Auction

Tori’s POVI couldn’t believe my sister was down here and at the mercy of these perverts.“Surprise, surprise!” Tommy taunted.“They’ve given her the wrong mask,” Alex said.“How do you mean?”The voice was ice cold and angry. So my stepbrother was no more than a crony. It wouldn’t help us now. Unless I could make them fall out somehow. He could be unpredictable when he lost his temper.“I specifically told them white after personally examining the goods.”And there it was: my cue. I didn’t care if I was talking out of turn.“You had no right, Alex!” I stormed.“Who asked you, kitten?”“She has a point,” Moore said, setting down his glass.“Let me have her, Alpha Archer.”“Behave, Dante. You’ve done well so far but you’re way down the pecking order in here. This changes things. I was thinking of bringing the auction forward in any case. Let’s head downstairs, gentlemen and lady. This needs to be done properly.”I thought I heard a muffled thud but, glancing around covertly, couldn’t s

Chapter Sixty - On Display

Tori’s POVMaybe I’d gone too far, but I wanted people to know. Fran was crying openly. Soon, she slumped to her knees, taking me with her.“With no current owner, that won’t be possible, sweet girl. I say Alpha Archer should exclude himself from the bidding? How about it, Tommy?”“You don’t dictate what I do and don’t do, Mrs King.”“Then we’ll just have to offer up a higher price than you. Toby.”So our nightmare continued. Because Travis had dropped out for some reason and, however much I strained, I couldn’t see him.Alpha Dante played his part, suggesting a sum in a half-hearted way which I assumed was meant to up the price. Was Tommy going to profit? Did he hope to ‘sell’ us and then reclaim us via the orgy?I was trying not to think about what Jason had disclosed regarding the wearers of the black mask. Maybe Fran wouldn’t have to tussle with her rapist in a life or death struggle afterwards.There was soon a clear favourite in the race to become our owner. Then I saw Travis ha
