Semua Bab BRED BY THE ALPHA KINGS: Bab 31 - Bab 40

He knocked softly on Elara's door.No answer."Elara?" he called quietly. "It's Caspian. Can I come in?"Silence.Then, so softly he almost didn't hear it: "Okay."He opened the door carefully.Elara was curled up on the bed, still fully clothed, her face buried in a pillow. She didn't look up when he entered.Caspian's chest tightened at the sight.He closed the door behind him and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. "Hey.""Hey." Her voice was muffled by the pillow."Can I see your face?"She turned her head slightly, just enough for him to see her red-rimmed eyes and tear-stained cheeks.Something inside him cracked."Come here," he said gently, reaching for her.Elara hesitated, then let him pull her into his lap, her face pressed against his chest. His arms wrapped around her, holding her close but not tight, giving her the option to pull away if she wanted.She didn't pull away."I'm sorry," she whispered."For what?""For being a mess. For crying. For...." Her voice broke. "Fo

Elara woke to the sound of her own heartbeat.Not the normal, steady rhythm she was used to. This was loud, a thunderous pounding that filled her ears like drums. She could hear the blood rushing through her veins, could feel each pulse of her heart like it was trying to break free from her chest.Her eyes flew open.The room was too bright. Not daylight-bright, it was still early, the sun barely rising, but everything was sharper, clearer, like someone had turned up the contrast on the world.She could see individual dust motes floating in the air. Could count the threads in the curtains across the room. Could see the grain in the wooden beams of the ceiling with perfect clarity.What...And then the sounds hit her.Not just her heartbeat. Everything.Footsteps on the floor below, she could tell it was two people, one heavier than the other. Voices echoing through the pack house from what had to be several floors away, talking about morning training routines. The wind outside rustlin

The day passed in a blur.After Meredith left, the brothers had insisted Elara rest, actual rest, not just sitting around worrying about what was going to happen tonight. Caspian had moved her to his guest room, since his own bedroom was partially destroyed, made sure she ate something, and then left her alone with strict instructions to sleep.She hadn't slept.How could she? Tonight, she was going to....Her mind shied away from the thought, even as her body heated at the memory of Kieran's mouth on her breasts, Alaric's hands between her legs, Caspian's gentle touches.Tonight, there would be no stopping. No interruptions. No pulling back at the last second.Tonight, she would be claimed. By all three of them.Elara pressed her face into the pillow and tried not to hyperventilate.A soft knock at the door made her jump."Elara?" Caspian's voice, gentle and concerned. "Can I come in?"She sat up, smoothing her hair. "Yes."He entered carrying a tray with tea and what looked like din

The walk to their chambers felt both endless and far too short.Elara was hyperaware of everything, the silk robe whispering against her bare skin, the three men flanking her like an honor guard, the pounding of her own heart that she could hear even over their footsteps.They led her through corridors she'd never been in before, to a wing of the pack house that was clearly private. No other wolves lingered here. The doors were spaced farther apart, the ceilings higher, everything designed for privacy and comfort.Alaric stopped in front of a set of double doors carved with intricate wolf designs."This is our suite," he said quietly, his hand on the door handle. "Once you cross this threshold, everything changes."Elara swallowed hard. "I know.""Last chance to say no," Caspian added, though his voice was strained. "We can wait. Find another way...""There is no other way." Elara met his silver eyes. "And I'm not saying no."Kieran's hand found hers, squeezing gently. "Then welcome h

And then he was moving.Slow at first. Careful. Letting her body adjust to the rhythm. But as her whimpers turned to moans, as her hips started rising to meet his thrusts, he went faster. Harder."Mine," he growled, his hips snapping forward. "You're mine, Elara.""Yours," she gasped. "I'm yours."She felt it the moment the bond snapped into place, a rush of sensation, of emotion, of connection so intense it stole her breath. She could feel what he was feeling. The pleasure. The possessiveness. The love that he'd been too afraid to name."Alaric," she sobbed, overwhelmed."I know." His forehead pressed against hers, his movements becoming erratic. "I feel it too. Feel you. Fuck...."His body went rigid and she felt him pulsing inside her, felt the heat of his release, felt the bond solidify into something unbreakable.He collapsed against her, breathing hard, and pressed his mouth to her throat.Then his teeth sank into her skin.The marking bite.Elara cried out at the sharp pain, bu
