Semua Bab Alpha's Dirty Secrets: Bab 611 - Bab 620

"I'm shielded too tightly for you to feel anything," she said quietly, turning her intent gaze on his. "Whatever help Mother was at the beginning quickly wore off, Liam. Everyone was certain we were losing you. I snuck down one night to see you because I couldn't bear to be apart from you any longer." Her voice faltered and for a moment he thought she wouldn't continue, then she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "You were hurting yourself. You were in wolf form and you were biting at your own paws...you were trying to chew them off."Her voice had dropped to a whisper, and for a glimmer of a moment, he felt a strong surge of pain and then it vanished as quickly as it had come."I couldn't let you do that. I couldn't let you hurt yourself. I opened the door and came in, even though I'd been warned to stay outside and call an adult if you needed help. I did the only thing I could think of: I just threw my arms around you. I could feel you in my head, screaming relentlessly. It h

She could imagine what it would be like to lay with him, to bask in the glorious feral lust he would reign over her body. The thought made her breasts ache and her nipples hard, a thrill of anticipation spreading down to the very heart of what made her a woman."You are beautiful, Liam. You are strong and I know you would protect me with your life if I allowed you to claim me as yours. Nevertheless, I can't do that, because you would cause me harm. Yes, you appeal to the former vampire in me, but you forget that I am now human. I cannot accept you because you are too dangerous to me. You fight for dominance and seek to take away your softer side. If you were to be the dominant part of your soul then we would never be together."His head tilted to the right and Liam unconsciously copied the pose as he listened avidly to Reasa."You have already rejected the wolf and the man," the vampire argued, pointing one long talon in her direction. "You will not reject me because you know me. I am

Cassia shook her head. "Not specifically, but I know he's more than aware anyway. I've noticed Sam and Harlan are always around the compound since Pietro's been here. They're two of Rafe's strongest Betas. Also, Aaron's been close to home too. With all the work required to transfer ownership of the pack's businesses and start up new ones, he should be coordinating that but he's here most of the time. Rafe is keeping his best people close and it can only be for that reason."Demetri nodded his agreement. The Alpha was smarter than most wolves he knew which was expected of anyone he accepted into his family. Rafe had earned his respect years ago when they had fought with Richard Graves after his attack on the Hanlon pack. While their relationship wasn't the standard kind of family one, he was Rhianna's brother and that meant he was Demetri's family by default and under his protection."I'll speak to Mara and Caleb. It might be wise to remove Pietro from the pack and place him somewhere

Composing himself, he tried to look less pleased with being in Reasa's company. He really did want to learn what she had to teach him and didn't want to risk having her decide to withdraw her offer to help. Relaxing his arms on his crossed legs, he waited for her to begin."This time we're going to be entering my mind so I can show you how to locate someone's emotions. I am strong enough to make small enhancements to emotions without damaging the host mind, which is very easy to do. You MUST concentrate fully, Liam. You have the power to turn me into a drooling mess and I'm not so sure you wouldn't be able to do the same to Freya despite her having one of the strongest minds I've come across. I cannot stress just how dangerous this is. One slipup and you could wipe both of our minds."Some of Liam's eagerness waned as he saw the seriousness of her expression. Reasa wasn't being overly-theatrical, she meant every word. If he deviated even the slightest from her commands, he could possi

He knew she needed time and space, so he backed away, moving to the closed bedroom door. "I'll leave the book for you to read. I think tomorrow we can go up to the Praetorian Compound and see if there is anything we can do to help the injured. Rafe should have had enough time to arrange an escort by now."Reasa stared dumbly at him as he left the room, closing the door quietly behind him. The instant he did, she moved back to the bed, hugging her knees as her heart beat a wild tattoo in her chest. Dear God, the heat in his kiss had been electric. He had sucked her down and turned her inside out with that one meeting of lips. There was an ache in her stomach so intense it was almost physical. What the hell had he done to her? He had to have projected his emotions onto her for her to respond the way she had. He had to!Reasa stared at the door, her thoughts in chaos as she tried to convince herself of that and reluctantly had to be truthful with herself. Liam had maintained his shields
