Song for this chapter: Darkness At The Heart Of My Love - Ghost.Quinlan swerved when Alpha Bailey's wolf lunged at him and then he took notice of the savage Alpha's fangs and claws. They weren't ordinary like that of every werewolf, they were made of steel as if he had taken some antidote to make them venomous and sharp like closely packed, twisted knives…And so Quinlan calculated the pace made by Alpha Bailey because claw bruises or bites from his wolf could lead to death.Their wolves fought, slamming into walls and destroying the possessions in the chambers.Whilst Alpha Bailey's wolf was completely beastly, Quinlan's was just big and nothing more.But he was smart enough to dodge every claw bruise and attempted bite from Alpha Bailey, whilst everyone watched; with Alpha Kieran still chained to his bedpost, with his face puffy from the beatings and blood dripping from his hand that his fingers had been chopped off like mincemeat.Cecile was still trapped by the beast behind her,

"I'd like to return to our castle with my husband as he's still in the process of recuperation. He's blind and I don't know how long he'll stay that way. He hasn't even awoken from that bed of stones, and he cannot perform his duties as your Beta," Penelope had her hands clasped together in front of her as she made this request to Alpha Kieran.It was dawn and the arrowhead Alpha had made his presence known in the pack hospital, he came alone in a carriage to see Quinlan. And Penelope had met him outside upon seeing him through the window.Alpha Kieran took one good look at Penelope from where he was seated beside Quinlan who was still deep in sleep."I just came to see him, not have him return to the castle with me."Penelope gave him a firm nod and remained standing."You had a tough time getting him over here?" Alpha Kieran questioned Penelope, after surveying her blood-stained chemise that had a large part torn in front."What kind of a wife would I be, if I complain? Quinlan is m

"Let me guide you into standing, you needn't sit and let me do it," Penelope was yet to touch Quinlan. She had only traced her fingers and he was already getting hard even though it didn't feel right.He was blind and he was going to have his cock sucked by his contracted wife who was a former whore? The thought made him shiver a little."I am waiting, Quinlan."Quinlan rose on his feet and took four careful steps away from his seat."Is this okay?" He inquired, with heat crawling up to his cheeks."You needn't stress yourself, Quinlan. You can stand wherever you want. It's not your legs I'll be needing, but your dick to get mouth-fucked by me."Christ!How those words came out from that mouth of hers made him even harder.Penelope let her eyes follow the movement of his member as if she had taken lessons on how to suck men all of her life.Penelope would have liked to him fuck her, but she doubted he would. They were still strangers to their bodies. And she wouldn't dare pleasure hers

"Who would have thought your wife and my husband would dance together?" Cecile gestured at Penelope and Alpha Kieran who were together, smiling at one another as they did their traditional dance."Dancing is a normal thing that can happen between two people," Quinlan drummed his hands on the table. He was seated beside her."Aye, but we were lovers and now our spouses seem to enjoy each other's company," her smile didn't reach her eyes."I don't see anything wrong in that," Quinlan fought against the urge to frown."I'm beginning to think he's nursing feelings for her, with the way he looks at her," Cecile stroked her wine glass."You're reading wrong," Quinlan said."Penelope didn't just save you, she saved us all. If she hadn't shown up with that bow and arrow, Alpha Bailey would have killed you, then finish off my husband. I on the other hand would have been raped by his men and split into halves."Quinlan looked at Cecile, she seemed to be drinking and talking a lot that evening.

Quinlan was cursing the entire time he stood at the seaport half an hour later. Men were stocking the ships with food and other necessities, they were to leave Easton Glasgow that night.Quinlan had no choice but to follow Alpha Kieran's order, whilst Penelope was being held aside for the time being. He didn't know if his Alpha would ever forgive her for speaking to him like that, in front of everyone. If only she had controlled her mouth and her emotions. Quinlan muttered under his breath and then clenched his fists. No doubt she had come to care for him in her own way, and tried to stand up for him even though it wasn't required. He was a man and he could speak for himself, but he could never disobey or say no to his Alpha. Penelope had not only surprised him but everyone inclusive. She was so fucking brave. He couldn't help but wonder how she got that mind she had. Majority of whores were known to be dumb but Penelope was too smart and sensitive for her own good. Quinlan wondered
