All Chapters of The Wolf and the Succubus: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I’d hardly sat down when Luke burst back through the door of HQ. “Is Dr Bauer ready to go, Luke?”“Yes, alpha. She has everything to start working on something to counteract the psychoactive components and even the cyanide, but she really needs the samples to fully get up and running.”“Thanks, Luke.”“Just doing my job, alpha,” he gave me a small smile. “I know it’s not my place… but I can smell him all over you.”I sighed, closing my eyes. “If he’d had his way, it’d be stronger.”“Wait, what?”“He wanted me to mark him, Luke.”“But you didn’t?”“I said no. One problem at a time. I can’t start working out what to do about Nathaniel whilst we’re in the middle of orchestrating a hostile takeover and dealing with a biological threat.”“I understand that, Effie. But what did he say?”“He said he understands, but I know he’s hurt.”“That explains the look he gave me. He thinks you rejected him because of me.”I sighed. “I told him it was too soon and I needed to work out what I was going

By the time I got to the club, I was nearly two hours late. Coming through the door that late with Nathaniel in tow, both of us stinking of sex and each other, was always going to prove to be a distraction to everyone working.They weren’t even subtle. Everyone turned to face us. I sighed, rubbing my face. This was going to be a long day. “Back to work, people. Not long until we open.”On the way up the stairs to my office, I met Luke’s gaze. He looked between me and Nathaniel, who was just a step behind me, before sighing, looking dejected and walking away.Nathaniel skipped a couple stairs to catch up, his hand ending up on my back. “We knew he wouldn’t be happy, Effie.”I nodded. “I know, I just feel like I’ve been kicked in the chest all of a sudden.”“That’s the old bond, Effie,” he whispered. “It will have left a thin thread because he wanted it so much, but now he knows we mated, it’s going to have finally snapped completely. Because it was you that technically broke it, you we

I stood, walking towards the door, pulling it open. “You two might as well come in here so we can finish up this conversation.”They both nodded silently, following me into the office. I motioned for them both to sit down as I sunk into the third armchair next to the fireplace. “Nathaniel, are you following so far?” I asked. “You need to know what you’re getting involved in.”He nodded.“Good. Luke, you can continue.”“Yes, alpha,” he nodded in my direction, before turning back to Nathaniel. “The original Serene not only created werewolves, but is the mother of The First Ones, the first vampires. Our Serene, Ophelia, has the same abilities that the original had, but has more than enough power to do the opposite. Really, she is a descendant of the original, but so much more.”He paused, eyes closing. “She is the heir to both worlds. If the powers that be find out that she could easily turn their worlds upside down, Ophelia will be in a lot of trouble. That is why the name change was n

“I’ll give you two some privacy,” Nathaniel whispered, kissing my forehead before turning and heading back out of the room. “I’ll keep everyone away from you.”“Nathaniel?” Luke called after him. “Thank you.”Nathaniel gave him a small smile. “As long as you do the same for me from time to time, we’ll be golden.”The second the door shut behind Nathaniel, Luke’s hands were all over me. Athena purred. He felt like home.Luke dropped to his knees in front of me, his mouth crashed down on mine, hard. I gasped as his hands squeezed my breasts through the fabric of my dress and bra. My back arched, pushing them harder into his hands. His mouth swallowed my moans as he pinched my nipples, my hands digging into his shoulders.He slipped his arms underneath me, standing up and wrapping my legs around his waist. I groaned as I felt his very firm erection pressing against me, the pressure increasing as he flexed his hips.He’d hardly touched me and yet I could already feel my orgasm approaching

If I’d known just how much of a power boost we’d experience, the noise would have been the least of my concerns.Once we’d all stopped panting, had cleaned up and gotten dressed again, I noticed something was wrong in my office. Very wrong.Every single item of glass had smashed. Furniture had fallen over. There was even a hole in one of the walls with the sculpture that used to be on the coffee table sticking out of it.I turned on my heel, eyes wide. What the hell happened?!“Was there somehow an explosion that we didn’t notice?” Nathaniel whispered. Luke chuckled, but that chuckle was just covering up concern.“Did you two feel it? The power boost?”They looked at each other, as if unsure of what to say. “It came from you, Effie. When you orgasmed and dragged Luke and I under with you,” Nathaniel paused, holding his hands up, in response to my less than impressed expression. “That’s not a complaint, Effie, I promise. But either way… the power exploded out of you. I don’t know how e
