Mallory´s POVThis was not a good day; just when I thought I couldn’t be any worse. Guess what? It did!First, I spent the morning throwing things at Marcus; he fucking drugged me! He dragged me over to his own house in the middle of the night! And drugged me! What the hell was he even doing there in the first place?Only to later realize I was already drugged, and he gave me something so that I could sleep the drug out of my system. And just to be sure I knew just how potent those drugs were, he told me everything I did, I said. I just wanted the ground to swallow me! I didn’t want to believe a word of it!I would never beg anyone to fuck me! Let alone down on my knees, beg Marcus to ravish me, tear my own clothes off, humping his bedpost, and try to assault the showerhead. The list seemed never to end! I didn’t want to hear anymore!One more word of what I did, or allegedly did, I’ll just melt down in the ground—marinating in my own embarrassment while I wait for mother earth to cl

His warm, strong fingers slide over my other shoulder, and warmth from his hand dances on my skin, lingering. A little knot tightens in my lower abdomen as his grip pulls around my throat right under my chin and tilts it further to the side. I lean back, giving access to my exposed neck. His warm breath tickled on my sensitive skin, leaving goosebumps—the tantalizing feeling of two different emotions mixing and blending together. The slight pain as his canine pierces my skin, then the soft hot breeze caresses my skin. Warm wet lips softly kiss, and a firm hand tightens the grip, making it harder to breathe. Out of nowhere, he stops, lifts me up, and kicks the chair away. I found myself standing right in front of him, with his finger under my chin, making our eyes meet. Without breaking eye contact, he starts pulling the shorts off my hips. His eyes search mine as the clothing falls to the floor. “Do you want me to stop?” This is a different Bear than I'm used to; the vulnerability

Marcus POV.So I have no freaking idea what just happened. We crashed; yeah, I know this much, but how? There isn’t a car or tree or anything as far as I can see; nevertheless, here we are, hanging upside down in my vehicle. My brand new car!I wanted to be even angrier with her now! How could she first be so fucking clueless and wreck my car! Still hurt and feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to smack her in the back of her head, butt hat feelings soon turned to worry. Why didn’t she wake up? And why did I feel like someone had been here? I tore off my seat belt, dropping down on my neck, and my knees nearly hit my own forehead! Aah! I’ve never been this flexible! I never want to be this flexible ever again either; for that matter, nobody should ever have their genitals so close to their own face.. ever!Gee, finally, my misery seemed to wake her up. I sigh; even like this, she looks stunning. Her long dark hair hanging straight down, a mispleased frown on her face, some blood on he

Staring up at my ceiling, I could still relive the shock.Even if it’s been four days since I found out that little girl was Clark´s daughter. I knew he was wicked and that he hated me, but his own daughter? He left me and was willing to let me suffer and die so that he could have a child. An heir and rank, and now he treats his child like it was the root of all evil? I didn’t get it. The bed next to me dipped, and I groaned.“Want to talk about it, furry?”“Nope”I didn’t even bother to look in his direction; I knew he lay on his side, looking down at me with a beaming smile. Don’t that boy ever get tired of smiling?“You need to eventually. You can’t keep taking it out on these poor females! Training, fighting, and pushing them like that. Gawd, I’m surprised they haven’t fled the pack already. ““Ha-ha. You are so funny.”“I know that, but this time I was a serious little doll. You are here to help them, teach them how to defend themselves and their children. Not to break them for a

Mallory´s POV.It didn’t feel right. They should have been overwhelmed with happiness to see their Alpha and Luna´s daughter appear by the gates. Instead, it looked like they had just seen a ghost and stumbled backward, shouting for us to stay put and wait right there! Outside of the massive silver gates.But if I were, to be honest with myself, it felt wrong the moment we decided to take her home. But what could I say? I saved her, and she saved me. That didn’t give me any reason to keep her, no matter what I felt about her parents.Ethan and Bear shifted their weight from one foot to another while throwing each other glances, but they never uttered a word. They didn’t have to; we all felt it; the tension. The guards had stepped several steps back, and now they were just standing there, glaring at us through the bars. Looking down, Ophelia still held my hand with a firm grip and stared straight ahead. Her soft curls bounced in the breeze, but her face was cold as stone.My heart star
