Semua Bab The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite: Bab 121 - Bab 130

ROMAN "I’ve been thinking about you all morning," she confessed, her voice trembling. "About how much I missed this."I lifted my head to meet her eyes. "Then let me remind you."I hooked my fingers into the waistband of her shorts and tugged. She lifted her hips to help, and I dragged them down her legs, tossing them aside. No panties either. She was bare and glistening for me on the kitchen counter like a feast laid out.I stepped between her thighs again, spreading them wider with my palms. My gaze dropped to where she was wet, pink and swollen. My cock throbbed painfully against my loose pants."Roman, please," she breathed, reaching for my waistband.I caught her wrist, kissing the inside of it. "Not yet. I want to taste you first."Before she could protest, I dropped to one knee, awkward with the lingering weakness in my right leg, but I didn't care. Pain was nothing compared to the need roaring through me. I hooked her legs over my shoulders, careful of the bump, and bur

SOLANA "Nervous?" I said to my husband, gazing up at him, our arms linked. We were seated in the limousine, heading to the coronation venue. Two months had passed since the alpha king's death. News had spread about Roman's sacrifice.He was soon chosen as the candidate for the title. It was no news that his influence was even more widespread than the king's. I still couldn't believe how that was possible. Now, I was to become queen of the werewolves. I felt jittery inside.Roman pressed a lingering kiss to my temple. "Honestly? I'm not. You are though. Your heart's racing," he pointed out, and I pouted."This is huge for me, dearest. I never thought this would happen. I'm only nineteen!"He chuckled. "Tomorrow is your birthday," he pointed out, and I sighed."What if I do something stupid in front of all the officials? I heard that some of them will be flying in from other countries! I'm freaking out. Do you know I spent last night trying to learn how to say hello in Japanese?

SOLANA The smell of blood hit me the moment I arrived at the east wing corridor. I pushed past the attendant the second Roman let go of my waist. My heart slammed against my ribs, the baby stirring hard in protest at the sudden movement. We rounded the corner, and there he was.Ambrose lay crumpled on his side against the wall, one arm wrapped around his middle. His suit was soaked dark at the chest, fresh blood spreading on the floor. His one good eye was wide and glassy with pain, crimson liquid dribbling from the corner of his mouth.He saw me and tried to push himself up. The effort ended in a wet, choking cough. More blood sprayed across the marble."Solana..." he rasped, and my heart sank. He looked worse than I thought.I dropped to my knees beside him without thinking. I could feel my husband's presence closer than ever."Ambrose," I whispered, my hands hovering. "What happened?"He tried to speak again and instead convulsed. His body curled inward, his spine arching in

SOLANA I stepped into the dim hallway, shutting the door behind me. The air out here felt cooler and somewhat heavier. Ambrose stood a few feet away, leaning on his staff, his one good eye fixed on me with that same desperate intensity."You wanted to talk?" I said, keeping my voice steady. Roman was just on the other side of the door. I could feel his presence like a warm anchor through our bond, but I still crossed my arms over my bump, protective.Ambrose nodded slowly, limping closer. "Yes. There's something I need to explain about the ritual. Something you should hear first..."I nodded, gesturing for him to go on, but he reached out, his hand brushing my arm. His fingers lingered there, tracing a slow path from my elbow to my wrist. A shiver ran through me. He was being...weird. Something about the way he touched me felt creepy."You're so strong," he said, his voice dropping low. "That unique light inside you... it's like nothing I've ever seen. It's pure and radiant.

SOLANA The grove was alive with beautiful glow of silver light when we arrived. This was because the light of the moon was at its brightest tonight. In the centre of the large clearing stood the Heartstone pedestal, the cracked crystal pulsing weakly. The air felt heavy with undercurrents of tension.Roman walked beside me the entire way, holding me close to his side. Ambrose led us, his limp more pronounced in the moonlight.A small crowd of the pack had gathered at the edges with gaunt faces and hollow eyes, but tonight there was something else in them. Hope and desperation. They watched me like I was their last breath.Ambrose stopped at the edge of the inner circle, a ring of white stones etched with runes. He turned to look at Roman. "You can stand here, Your Majesty. The circle will hold the energy. She must enter alone with me to complete the binding."Roman's growl was lethal. "She doesn't go anywhere alone with you."Ambrose raised both hands. "The stone requires bl
