All Chapters of Heat and Rut (Werewolf Erotica Compilation) : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Lila’s Pov I knew everyone told me to stay home tonight but I went anyway. The full-moon gathering happened once a year in the big clearing deep in the forest and all the unmated wolves had to show up or face punishment. I was twenty now and still unmated because I refused every Alpha who tried to court me. I took suppressants every day to keep my heat away and I thought that would be enough to let me stand there without trouble. I wanted to prove the old laws were wrong. No one should be forced to pair just because of some stupid tradition. I walked into the clearing with my head high, wearing a simple dress that covered me decently. The moon hung huge and bright overhead and the air felt thick with pack scents. Fires burned in a big circle and almost everyone was already there talking and laughing. The elders sat on raised logs at one end watching everything. I stayed near the edge at first hoping to blend in. Then I felt it. A warm pull low in my stomach. My suppressants were f

Lila's Pov I woke up early with the mark on my neck still sore and my body heavy from what Cassian did last night. He slept beside me in the big bed, one arm thrown over my waist as he owned me even in sleep. The cabin was quiet except for his steady breathing. I lay there for a while hating how safe I felt next to him but I pushed the feeling away. I was not going to stay his mate. I would find a way out. I moved slowly, sliding out from under his arm. He did not wake. I found my dress on the floor, torn a little, but good enough, and pulled it on quickly. My shoes were by the door. I tiptoed across the room trying not to make the wood creak. The door lock looked simple. I turned carefully and pulled the door open just enough to slip through. Cool morning air hit my face. The forest was thick around the cabin with paths leading away. I picked one that looked like it went toward the main pack houses and started walking fast. My legs felt weak from the heat still simmering but I k

Cassian’s Pov I watched Lila sleep most of the day after her heat broke the resistance in her. She lay curled in my bed with the sheets tangled around her legs and my mark dark on her neck. Her face looked soft for the first time since the gathering. No anger or fight showed in it. The heat had calmed, but I knew it would build again soon. She had taken my cock many times now and begged pretty, but I held back the full claim. The knot. I wanted her to earn it completely. She woke slowly in the late afternoon. She stretched under the covers. Her eyes found me sitting in the chair across the room cleaning my knife. I put it down and walked to the bed slowly. "How do you feel, mate?" I asked, sitting beside her and pulling her into my arms. She pressed close without thinking. Her hand rested on my chest. "Better. The heat is quiet for now. But I feel you everywhere still." I touched the mark gently. My thumb rubbed the skin. "Good. You carry me now." She looked up. Her eyes were s

Lila's Pov The days after the public gathering passed quiet and good. The pack saw me as Cassian's true mate now. Most treated me with respect. A few older wolves still whispered doubts. They said I was too defiant at first. They thought the bond might break. Cassian heard them one day at the training grounds. He shut it down fast. He grabbed the main talker by the neck. He lifted him off the ground and growled loud until the male submitted full. No one doubted after that. He protected me always strong and sure. I felt safe in his arms and in our home. My heart gave in complete. I loved him deep even if the claim started rough. He showed love back in actions and words more each day. One night after supper he pulled me to the bedroom early. The fire crackled low. The room felt warm. He sat on the bed and pulled me between his legs facing him. "I claimed your mouth your pussy your womb mate," he said low. His hands rested on my hips. "Tonight I claim every part. Your ass too." I f

Aria's Pov I stood behind the heavy curtain with the other Omegas waiting for my turn. My wrists were tied in front with soft rope because the auctioneer said it made us look more desirable. I kept my head down and my eyes on the floor the whole time. The other girls smiled and looked up at the crowd to get higher bids. I did not. I refused to play their game. My family sold me to pay debts and I hated every second of it. I would not beg for an Alpha's attention. The auctioneer called the girl before me. She stepped out smiling widely and making eye contact with the bidders. The crowd cheered and bids flew high. She sold fast for a huge price. Then the auctioneer turned to me. "Next, we have Aria number twenty-eight," he said loudly. "Untrained but untouched. Defiant but beautiful. Come forward girl." I did not move at first. One of the handlers pushed me forward hard. I stumbled onto the bright stage. Lights shone down hot and the crowd noise hit me like a wall. Hundreds of Alph
