Semua Bab Bite, Bleed, Bow (MxM): Bab 101 - Bab 107

Kieran stares at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, and his green eyes and naked torso stare back at him. Slowly, his hand moves down to caress the marks on his body, the bite marks. Seth has been brutal even when Kieran insists on no marks, but for some reason, Kieran doesn’t mind.He traces the one on his shoulder, then the one right above his hip bone, then lower—until his hand pauses on his thigh. The bruise on his thigh throbs faintly, a reminder of what they did, of how Kieran had begged for more even when it hurt, and of how Seth hadn’t stopped until Kieran screamed his name like a prayer and a curse.Kieran’s face heats up at the thought, his heart racing but in a good way. He feels lighter in a way he hasn’t felt in a long time. He should think about the consequences of his action, think of what his father, the people, and the council will say, and think of Lena and how he is cheating on his girlfriend with the pack freak, but Seth is his mate; he is allowed to want and

“The wine… something’s wrong with it.”As soon as the words leave his lips, the room falls silent for a lingering moment before whispers begin and the crowd stirs.The elder blinks rapidly; his gaze flickers from Sage's face to the glass of wine. “What do you mean there's something wrong with the wine?”Sage looks him in the eye and repeats. “There's something wrong with it, and I'm not drinking it.”The crowd gasps, and murmurs break out from everywhere.“What is he doing?!”“This is insulting to the pack.”“He thinks he's more important than everyone.”“An omega shouldn't rule.”Sage hears every whisper, but he blocks them out, and then Beta Callen steps forward from the corner.“Sage, this is a sacred ritual of our pack, and the wine is a symbol of loyalty and truth. Once you drink the wine in front of the whole pack, you officially become Luna.”“There’s something wrong with it,” Sage says firmly. “I can smell it.”An elder snatches the glass from his hand and brings it to his nos

Sages wake up pressed against something solid. He blinks at the naked chest in his line of sight, rising and falling softly with slow breathings over his head, and the weight of an arm around his waist, holding him securely. He tries to move, but Rowan stirs; instead of letting go, he lifts Sage on top of him as if he weighs nothing, his arms going around his waist to trap him. Sage gasps, his palms landing on his chest to brace himself.“Rowan,” he rasps.The alpha slowly opens his eyes. “I like it when you call my name.” Sage fights back a blush. “Let go, I need to use the bathroom.”“Oh. Shame, I like having you like this,” Rowan says, his voice still hoarse with sleep.Sage huffs, pushing at his chest. “You’re annoying.”Rowan smirks. “You’re soft.”“I just nearly died, and you’re being flirty?” Sage snorts. “I expected you to at least care.”The look in Rowan’s eyes changes dramatically, growing darker and more intense. Suddenly, he pulls himself to a sitting position, pulling

“The whole pack is talking about you.”Those are the first words that come out of Bloom’s lips as soon as she walks into the bedroom. Sage blinks at her from where he’s curled up on the bed. He pulls himself to a sitting position and rolls his eyes.“What is it this time?”Bloom’s eyes hold glee as she drops onto the edge of the bed. “Everyone is talking about your bravery at the ritual. Not only did you help in the birth of a child, but you also protected the people with your life. It’s just huge respect, and the whole pack is buzzing about it; no one is shutting up. They fully regard you as their Luna.”Sage nods and hugs his knees to his chest. “What else is going on out there?”“The alpha had refused to make Liam the next Beta,” she leans closer to him to whisper with a hand over her mouth as if she’s about to slip the world’s biggest secret. “You’re the reason. The Alpha refused to name Liam as the next Beta. People are whispering you’ve bewitched him. ”Sage scoffs. “What happen
