I just want you not to stop what you were going to do.— Look at me — he asks hoarsely, in a tone that leaves me completely shivering with desire. — Look at me and I'll know I'm not hurting you.I nod, so does the wolf, so it's as if some kind of deal was reached between us.His hand returns to my leg.It takes all my willpower not to close my eyes.I bite my lips, look at his wounded ones, and have the almost irresistible urge to lick them, but I stay where I am. I squeeze the sheets with my hands and spread my legs further apart.Miguel's hand finds my sacred parts.The brushing is hard, a little clumsy, and yet delicious.He runs his knuckles through the soft, wet, warm folds, and we make similar noises. Our faces very close.I push my hips up against his hand and get even better friction.I think I'm smiling. I feel smiling.The relief is like a cool breeze in my belly.It's delicious.I definitely liked that.- Like this? — Miguel asks low and hoarse, with his deep voice that mak

It's better to speak quickly and end the matter.— I couldn't allow you or your wolves to kill me — I begin. — The Goddess only allows her Daughters to go to her white fields if they die by her own hands or by the hands of another Daughter. When our island was invaded by your-... — I bite my lip, wondering if I should continue blaming him for this. — When wolves invaded our island, my Sisters ate poisonous seeds to prevent our power from falling back into the hands of men. I thought only I was left. I had to take my own life to join them. I couldn't allow you or anyone else to kill me. That's why I didn't tell him I didn't have powers. If I told you, you would kill me.— No — Miguel says simply.His eyes never leave mine as he speaks.— You had saved my life. I would never hurt her. If I had known she had no powers, I would have found some way to reward and protect her. I kept it because I needed its power. Without that there would be no reason to arrest you, Kim.My face falls. I fee

With the end of the erben, things return to normal in the Tarus fortress. The next day, very early in the morning, I see through my window the wolves returning.They are legion.I never thought there were so many.Even Arina seems happy with the normality of things, but the first thing she says to me is:— When can we leave?I don't have a concrete answer to give you and I promise I will talk to Miguel about it.The problem is: I don't want to talk to him.As much as I miss him and the pleasure he gave me, I also resent our last conversation and the proposal he made to me.I've only thought about that since I left you in your throne room.Tzauri.What an idiot.All the pleasure of being under his mouth would never make up for the humiliation I would feel whenever he was gone and I knew he would be doing the same to his queen. It's not like he could promise me he'd never be with her like that. It is something that is expected of him; let him have children with her. For this to happen,

It's Azerai.The news comes to us through Reeina.Fen is elated—and a little worried—to say that His Superior Majesty, Wolf King Mig, has allowed Arina and I to take self-defense classes, and sent his brother to teach us.— His Superior Majesty could not have chosen anyone better. Prince Azerai is the leader of the military division. No other officer can hold a candle to him. They say he's been taking weapons lessons since he could walk.I have to admit, at least to myself, that the idea of ​​learning something from this wolf while he holds a gun doesn't make me feel very calm, but I swallow it.It is also Reeina who informs us that the classes will be held in one of the lower halls that are empty at this time of year, and where the other fen do not usually go, so we will be protected from curious and possibly upset looks.She escorts us there two days later, saying that His Highness awaits us.Arina is much happier than I am with this arrangement. My mind remains scattered. I think a

— Lyn Nakari is so beautiful — Reeina says for the third or fourth time as she serves us our morning meal at the low table.Arina invites her to sit and eat with us — as always — but Fen refuses — as always — however that doesn't stop her from blabbering on and on, even though neither I nor my Sister have asked any questions about the fortress's new guests.—And there are other lyns too, of course. All very beautiful. The Princes spent many hours with them in the pools and outside, showing them the property — Reeina continues, ignoring our silence.I glance at Arina and notice that she is far away, looking at the window. Suddenly she gets up and goes there, moving away from us.— Okay, Reeina — I interrupt Fen when she takes a long breath to continue speaking. — It all seems very interesting, but Arina and I are a little tired. It was a difficult night. Can you ask if Prince Azerai will continue to teach us while there are guests in Tarus'dei?— Yes, Lyn Kim. It is clear. I'll do it.
