All Chapters of The Lycan Inheritance: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She’s a virgin?I don’t know why but that seems to stick in my head, that and the taste of her, the softness of her. The way she moaned as I touched her. She fit so perfectly against my body; I didn’t even fear that I’d crush her, despite her tiny size.Gods, I’m a fool to have done it. To have let myself touch her. I don’t even know why I did it but as she sat there, arguing with me, I lost all sense of reason. All sense of everything. I just had to have her. She’s like my own personal drug. And I couldn’t fight it. I couldn’t fight that bond between us. I shudder as the vision of her twists in my head and it takes all my strength not to march back in there, pin her down, and fuck her senseless anyway.My Lycan is roaring in my head, telling me to do it. To claim her. To make the little Wolf mine already and I’m so close to losing control, to letting him take over.But the one thing I haven’t felt, the one thing I never felt the entire time was concern for Lia. No, the whole time I w

It feels like I haven’t slept a wink. Though I know I have. I know I spent most of the night dreaming about him.About what we did.About me not saying no. Not stopping it.About us actually fucking, as if I even understand how that would even feel.When I wake up, I’m covered in sweat, and it’s got nothing to do with the heat of the room. I throw the covers off, take a long, cold shower, and pull on the only available clothing I have.I’m starving.Somewhere in this damn place is the actual Packhouse and I sneak out into the corridor, relieved to see that the guards are gone, and I make my way through the Residence, hoping I don’t bump into anyone, hoping particularly, that I don’t bump into him because I know what will happen if I do. How my body will respond.I follow the corridors, led along more by the smell than anything else and thankfully end up in the main pack room. For a second I take it in. The hundreds of Wolves. The way they’re all just hanging out, lounging, eating thei

“Someone take her to the infirmary.” He says almost emotionless.“Don’t you think that’s your job as her mate?” Ryker asks.Lia practically explodes then. “She’s not his mate. She’s nothing but a dirty piece of trash. A dirty little whore.”Adriel grabs her by her throat, pushing her back. “Don’t you ever speak about her like that again.”I gulp, looking between them all. And slowly I get up, ignoring the shaking in my legs, ignoring them too, and I start making my way back. Alone. Half limping though I’m trying so hard to hide it.“Maricela.” Adriel calls after me.I don’t look. I don’t care. At least that’s what I tell myself as he races after me.He grabs my arm, pulling me around and I hate the way my skin reacts to that contact. The way my blood picks up. The way my heart beats a little faster.“What do you want?” I ask.Adriel sighs. “To apologise.”I scoff. “For what? For forcing me to be here, forcing me to train, or for letting your girlfriend attack me? Oh no, wait, let me g

I shouldn’t have made her train. I should have known this would be the outcome. That Lia would ignore everything I’d said, that she would seek her out, and hurt her.I can see her, even now, sprawled in the dirt. Injured. But as I held Lia back, it felt like something was blocking me. Stopping me from truly registering that Maricela was there, that she was hurt.And then to add insult to injury, I’m suddenly all over her again once we’re alone, like I can’t control myself. Like I’m the kind of person who only thinks with their dick.I snarl, clenching my fist, slamming it into the wall. All the Wolves around me freeze, watching me, and I take a deep snarling breath.What the hell is happening to me? I feel like I’m losing myself. When I’m with Lia everything makes sense, and then suddenly Maricela is there and it’s overriding everything.“Ad?”I turn at the sound of my father’s voice. He’s frowning, I think in truth my entire family has been permanently frowning since Maricela arrived

Days pass. I don’t see Adriel. I don’t see anyone. I learn quickly what times the Food Hall is packed and when it is emptier. I’m quicker now, I sneak in, grab what food I can, and make sure to be gone before the main crowd arrives.I know it’s cowardly. I know it’s pathetic. But that’s what I am.And yet still, despite now having regular food, it’s not enough. I’m constantly hungry, constantly thirsty. And I’m not putting on any weight, in fact, it looks like I’m getting skinner.When I walk into the hall this morning, I freeze. It’s early. Normally only the first patrols are here at this time. Though they give me filthy looks and mutter under their breaths, they don’t do anything else.But today, today it’s rammed. Like everyone decided to come at this time because they knew I’d be here.I step back, and smack back into something solid.I turn and it’s him, that same arsehole Wolf from before. He smirks at me.“Going somewhere?”My eyes widen. My Wolf snarls so loudly in my head. I
