Lahat ng Kabanata ng Make Believe: A New Luna: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Goddess, she’s glorious. Smart, well-trained, strategic, quick-thinking – a warrior through and through. All lean muscle and lethal grace – a body my wolf already knows belongs to us. I didn’t get enough when she kissed me. Just a taste — enough to know I want to memorize every line of her. It was like getting a piece of heaven and having it ripped out, along with my soul when she kissed that other male. If that’s what it’s like before our matebond is fully formed, I’d hate to think of the pain after I mark her. Seeing her pull knives on Violet in the hall, her blades ready for two killing blows before her back even hit the wall? My wolf is scratching at my insides to get to her just from that. It’s all I can do not to pull her into a room and complete the matebond right then. Sue me, it’s a wolf thing. But then she said that we’re in danger and it douses my wolf and my libido

The trees of The Wither flash past as I run through the forest. Normally, I’d try to throw the Wild Hunt off of my tail – zigzag, misdirect, vanish. But I’m just trying to make it to the portal. As straight a shot as possible, because that’s the only way we could possibly get out of here. Blaise is on my back sporadically throwing fireballs at the Hunt behind us and to our sides. It’s definitely not scaring anyone away, but the cover that he’s providing is at least keeping them out of striking range. “Can’t you go any faster?!” Blaise screams at me, firing off more bursts of fire. You try running through undergrowth with an extra person on your back and get back to me! I yell at him in this mindlink. Duck! “What?” he asks, turning and bending down just in time to miss a low hanging branch. “Couldn’t have given me more warning?” No, I shoot back. Look, we’re almost to the clearing where we portaled

After a few miles of riding on the blanket—my naked thighs raw from chafing—I finally ask, “Can we please stop at the clearing to get my clothes?” “Are you not warm enough, Aubrey?” the demon fae at my back asks. He seems to get a thrill from saying my name. And the shiver that goes down my spine isn’t entirely from fear. “Yes, I’m warm enough. That doesn’t mean that I want to go traipsing through The Wither naked. I’m sure that the court would love to see my tits out,” I bite out. I can feel the Hunter holding back his laughter. “To be fair, they are nice tits.” I growl at him, but my skin develops gooseflesh at the thought of him looking at me that way. “Clothes!” “Of course, my lady,” Gwyn ap Nudd says from behind me. With a wave of his hand and some odd flicking of his fingers, I’m clothed in shadows. I mean literal shadows. It’s a long, flowing gown, sleeveless and down to my feet. Slits d

It’s been several days since Lilith arrived at the gates of the palace. She’s been in a near coma the whole time – sleeping for 10 hours or more at a time, waking to eat a meal, and then falling back to sleep. Each time that she wakes, Hippocrates, dubbed the father of medicine, is brought to her. He assesses her and gives her potions. I try to question her while she’s awake, but she only says a few words here and there. We have to help her eat. Bathe her. Watch over her. Because if there’s one thing that I know about Lilith – where she is, Lucifer soon follows. After her last waking period, I pull Hippocrates aside. “What is making her so weak?” He sighs. “Based on the few things I can gather, Lucifer has been using her. Siphoning her magick and lifeforce so that he could grow stronger. She was able to get free, but the journey from wherever she was to the palace gates took a lot from her. This is her body trying to

When Eris mentions us using sex as a treatment for Sebastián, my entire body seems to heat up. The second that we made eye contact, the second that I knew he was my mate, the second we kissed, I’ve wanted him. I want him to be mine. It’s all I’ve ever really wanted. But it’s hard to be like – “Hey, we’re meant to be together forever. Let’s fuck.” Or, I thought it would be. Because the second that I kiss him, I need more. I know that he’s in pain, but it doesn’t stop him from kissing me. His mouth brushes mine, sparks flowing over my skin. “Mmmmm,” he growls as he cups the back of my head and pulls me in closer. “You feel so damn good.” Then his tongue sweeps across my bottom lip and I nearly melt into him. My hands go to his chest and I feel the muscles beneath the sheet covering him. I’ve always wanted to have a mate. Hell, I’ve had dreams where I’ve met my mate. But to actually ha
