All Chapters of Bite, Bleed, Bow (MxM): Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sage has never been so glad for clothes. This time, he is not forced into sheer clothes and made to endure transparent humiliation. This is the most decent he's been in days, dressed in a pair of pants, a shirt under a jacket, and a pair of boots. He walks in the middle of two guards in silence; they guide him through the hallway that leads towards the council, his wrists cuffed but loosely this time, like they don't see him as a runner. Sage sneers.Sage's boots echo as he's led into the council room, with the elders in their seats. He is pushed gently to the center of the room, under the weight of everyone's stare. Sage is getting tired of being moved from one place to another. Now what? One of the five elders in the room rises to his feet and clears his throat. “Omega Sage of Ashborne Pack,” he begins formally. “We have called you before the council to confirm one thing: your purpose here. Did you, or did you not, share a mating night with Alpha Rowan?”Sage blinks. Why the heck d

Sage stands quietly beside Alpha Rowan in the council room. He can feel the weight of dozens of eyes staring at him, but he keeps his chin high while his heart races; anyone can hear it. He doesn't trust this place, doesn't trust these people, and most of all, he doesn't trust what's about to come out of Alpha Rowan's mouth. He feels like prey among predators, like a pawn on a chessboard that's just being moved around, but Sage is no pawn, and he won't become one, not now, not ever.Alpha Rowan's presence is commanding as he stands tall and mighty in the center of the council room, his grey eyes stoic yet with a twinkle of mischief that doesn't settle well in Sage's stomach. The Alpha looks like the definition of mischief and dangerous.“I called this council to make an official announcement,” he begins, his voice thundering throughout the hall. He reaches out and takes Sage's hand, causing everyone to raise their brows questioningly. He continues. “The omega, Sage of Ashborne pack, w

Sage sits on the new bed in the familiar cage of a room that now belongs to him; its large and massive size is almost suffocating. His knees are pulled tightly to his chest, his back pressed to the wall, and his eyes staring into space in the uncannily quiet room.For the first time since he found himself in Bloodfang Pack, no one is screaming at him to behave like an omega, chaining him to a bed or dragging him from one building to the other. Sage finally has the chance to listen to his own thoughts.While he's finally been left alone, it doesn't mean he's free. He stares at the wall ahead, his green eyes glassy, his mind spiraling with everything that has happened. It's how fast the nights and the days change; he isn't even sure what he's to feel anymore. One moment he thought it's over and the next moment, the alpha, who's said to be old and a monster, is offering him an offer Sage doesn't want to refuse despite knowing it's all a trap.Sage exhales a sigh and rests his head back

“I'm going to ruin you, omega,” Sage stares at the Alpha under his lashes as his thumb strokes his parted lips. Perched on the edge of the bed, Sage tries to relax as he already feels slick dripping on his ass yet he's sprawled just enough to tempt. He bites his lips, his eyes suddenly dark with want and his wolf aches to submit to the alpha. He crawls further to the center of the bed, spreading his legs and exposing his heat without underwear with a smirk and the Alpha watches his every movement with a look of desire and hunger. He lets the omega do what he wants, spreading his legs wide, exposing his smooth neck that he can't wait to bite into, his chest that's waiting to be marked and then every part of his body that's ready to be designed with his bites. “What happened to not wanting to proceed further than a bite? Look at you, your mouth says one thing and your body does another.” Alpha Rowan shrugs off his coat smoothly, letting it fall to the floor while his eyes never leav

Sage wakes to the sunlight pressing in through the thick curtains of the window. He blinks his eyes open slowly, staring at the high ceiling before him and feeling an ache in his muscles that immediately reminds him of the past three days, from the marking to his body trying to adjust to being mated by pushing him into a heat.Sage sighs. Every part of his body feels sore, especially his thighs and hips. He stretches a little but lets out a small wince and drags the covers closer to his chest.He’s alone. Rowan isn’t in bed. The alpha had taken care of him during his heat.For a moment, Sage stays still, his chest rising and falling slowly, his heart still strangely full while the mark on his neck still burns, but the painful kind of burn—it's more like a slow hum, a reminder of who he belongs to now.Mate. The word echoes in his head, carrying weight heavier than his shoulders, but for some reason, there's no regret; Sage feels content. He sighs and closes his eyes. Suddenly, there'
