All Chapters of Once His Mate, Now His Rival: Chapter 211 - Chapter 218

Dana moaned as Marcus claimed her lips, his tongue sweeping through her mouth with hungry intensity. Another breathless sound escaped her when his hand closed around her breast, squeezing gently before tightening his grip.“Fuck…” she whimpered, her body pulsing with need.He broke the kiss only to tear her bra away, tossing it aside without a care in the world. His mouth trailed down her neck, kissing and sucking, teasing the sensitive spot that made her gasp and moan in pleasure.His wolf purred inside him, the strong urge to bite into her neck overcoming him once again, but he forced himself to rein it in, redirecting that hunger elsewhere. God, she was perfect.He paused just long enough to admire her, his gaze darkening as it swept over her bare curves. Then he lowered his head and wrapped his mouth around one soft nipple, drawing it in as his other hand played with the other breast. His fingers teased and pinched the hardened peak, drawing another moan from her lips.“Oh, fuck…”

Marcus stood there long after she had gone to bed, his eyes lingering on her sexy form. Finally, he took a deep breath and tore his gaze away, reaching for his bag and pulling on a pair of black pants.He walked back toward the bed, a smirk curving his lips as he watched her tense. He could tell she was still awake, and the fact that they were sharing a bed seemed to be keeping her on edge.He settled on the bed, her body tensing as he wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her close against his body. His wolf purred in his mind, clearly loving the way her body was pressed against his hard chest.Her intoxicating scent filled his nose, soothing his nerves in ways he hadn’t imagined possible. Once again, the urge to protect her surged through him, and he made a silent vow to do just that, knowing tomorrow was the day they would face that son of a bitch.“Sleeping yet?” Marcus asked huskily, his warm breath grazing her neck.Dana shook her head softly, remaining silent. He could tel

After several minutes of brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Marcus finally stepped out, leaving her space to bathe, but not before teasing her enough to make her cheeks flush.Later, he called room service and had food delivered to their room. An hour after eating, they were dressed and back on the road, heading toward the Savage Tide pack.The ride was long and quiet. Dana didn’t utter a word the entire time, her mind consumed by thoughts of Dominik and a past she couldn’t escape.Marcus stole glances at her from time to time, wishing he could do something to lighten her burden. Unsure what to say, he stayed silent. He knew that whatever she was going through right now wasn’t easy, not after all she had endured at the hands of Dominik and his father.She had lost her father to them, watched them seize her rightful place as alpha, and survived years of torture.And now, to return after fourteen years—not as a child, but as an adult—must have felt overwhelming in ways he couldn’t even

Dana watched as the two Alphas locked eyes in a silent standoff, their auras crashing into each other in relentless waves of dominance. Dominik’s power spread outward like a glacial storm–cold, suffocating, merciless, while Marcus’s rose to meet it, fierce and blazing, an untamed inferno refusing to bow.Her gaze shifted to Marcus, disbelief flickering across her features. Never had she felt his aura surge like this. She had always known he was strong, but she had never imagined his strength could stand on equal ground with a monster like Dominik Whitmore.The air thickened, as though gravity itself had intensified tenfold, pressing against her lungs, coiling around her ribs like a tightening vice. Even as an Alpha, her wolf clawed at her insides, snarling in warning, urging her to retreat, to put as much distance as possible between the two devastating forces colliding before her.And yet, despite the crushing weight of their power, she knew without a doubt that as long as Marcus sto
