I felt his hot mouth on my neck and gasped. He pushed me deeper into him, so I felt his hardness on my ass, pressing against the thin material of my panties."I don't know what I'm doing," he whispered in my ears, his hands going way up into my bra to stroke my round globes.My breath was raggedy when he turned me to face him, his hands picking me up so my legs were around his hips.His mouth was back on my neck, teasing me to a pulp with sharp canines, the buttons on my globes hardening against his finger as he twirled them with his thumb."Get away from me!" I rasped, trying to get my scattered thoughts back together; whatever he did to me wasn't all normal.He ignored me. His lips claimed mine, sending electric shocks into me; his tongue owned my mouth; his hands pushed me way up so my legs were now wrapped around his abdomen.To my surprise, my head bent to meet his mouth so he could kiss me senseless like he had done before, with my fingers at the back of his head, feasting in his

IRIS I wasn't offended by his statement; I mean, if I were him, I would be thinking the same thing. Reid had sent soldiers to comb the borders of Silver Mystic for me immediately after hearing about the Alphas' betrayal.Somehow he sensed I would be coming home."Home," I whispered to myself, staring out of the window as I spotted my little "box."It was still wrecked, with burned windows and rickety doors, but then the lawns were mowed, even though it had been ages since anyone had been in it. Something told me Reid had something to do with it. It created a warm feeling in my chest."Of course, he has," Tristan muttered beside me. I knew he heard that part of my thought, but this time I wasn't mad; hearing a little jealousy in his tone was the c to my vitaminHe was no longer in my veil but in blue joggers and a black long-sleeved turtle-necked shirt."He's a great guy," I decided to rub it in, "really shocked I and he didn't end up as mates."I turned to look at his face just in tim

Author POV************His eyes were on her face when sunlight poured into the room, brightening everything, even the window she had shut last night.Though it hurt his eyes, he resisted the urge to deck them with thick blankets to keep the sunlight away, but somehow, he had forgotten the struggle and found her face more interesting to watch.She was, well, breathtaking in her silent sleep; he had to lean even closer to hear her breath. She was, well, beautiful. Those lashes and perked-up lips were the biggest poison of them all.It was taking him all his willpower to keep away from completing the bonding process, and somehow it wasn't giving them much choice; the attraction was heavy even when they were with people. "...fuck!" He gritted silently not to wake her when her knees went into his stomach while curling up.His eyes saw red with all the pain that followed, pushing his focus to a blur. After almost a minute, when the pain subsided, he shifted gently so she could be comfortab

IRIS "Alpha Tristan!" I shared my attention between him and the soldiers closing in on us. All around us, looking through the windows, were curious eyes watching what was going on. "We mean no harm!" I tried screaming, but either they didn't hear me, which wasn't possible, or they had their mind set on what they were about to do with us. I stood, looking around. "Goddess Artemis, come on," I whispered in my breath. It had been years, and she was still mad at her daughter for eloping even though the Alpha had died centuries ago. I was wasting effort praying she would not watch her assumed Akasha get destroyed again and do nothing. "Commander, order your soldiers to back away." A feminine voice echoed Just before me, behind the soldiers, a beautiful slender figure came through, wearing a blue lacy gown that hugged her figure and looked more like ice than a cloth. I couldn't see her feet because the gown covered them, and she walked like she flowed, daintily, with red orbs that

IrisThey pushed open the door to a room where, on the bed, Alpha Tristan lay. Eyes cloudy and lips blue, he seemed to have been fed something herbal and short-torn, showing a dark torso."The poison can't be managed anymore; it's spreading to his heart and killing him."They were behind me as I moved closer to Tristan, who was shivering on his bed. When he opened his eyes and saw me, he forced a smile."Hey, Iris, We're still alive, Huhn."I had to smile. Even in his state, he just had to crack a stupid joke.He was trying to sit up, and I rushed to him, supporting him, but he immediately jerked down again, his head reaching my shoulders."I — I feel frozen," he breathed, shivering against my body, "are we back in the ice age or what?"I looked up at the nurse, who looked confused, wondering what to do."There's nothing you can do for him? "Nada at all?"They shook their heads and said, "We did our best with the antidote and everything, but his body keeps rejecting it all.""More like
