All Chapters of The Bratva Wolves Book 1: Shiver: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My dreams lately have been extremely vivid. So real that they feel like I'm living in the moment. It makes me a little apprehensive to fall asleep sometimes. That’s why I don’t even argue with Cyprus and slide into his bed before he makes it home. His sheets are black silk, and I love the cool feel when you first slip into them. The way they slide over my skin.Besides, the room smells like him. It calms me like nothing ever has. Makes absolutely no sense to me, but for now, I’m tired of questioning things. But it’s like my whole body takes a deep sigh when breathing in the scent of his cologne that’s all over his sheets.But I can’t let myself fall for Cyprus. I can’t let myself get attached. This man is only temporary. Yet, for some reason, I keep craving him. And that craving seems to run deep and is getting stronger by the day. I want to know where he is. How much longer he’s going to be. Because my body needs him. I literally yearn for him, and nobody will satisfy me like him.An

I found myself pacing outside on the back lawn. Not just any pacing, but pacing in my wolf form. Like a fucking caged tiger would. A pissed off caged tiger, looking for his next meal.I left Solara sleeping upstairs. I didn’t want her to be around all the anguish and anger that was moving through me. She's already having a hard time figuring her own feelings out. I don’t need to add mine to them. Plus, my wolf was in such an uproar over what Solara’s wolf showed us that I knew I needed to set him loose. He just refused to go too far from the house where his mate was sleeping.Livid is the word I would use. I’m pissed beyond recognition and agitated that there is only so much I can do about it. I left Sitka watching over her. My phone was ringing on the kitchen counter. I didn’t care what my brother wanted. At the moment, all I wanted was to shed my skin and kill one man named Darin.“Ms. Solara! Don’t go out there! It’s not safe!” I hear Sitka calling out.I hear them right before I s

I almost marked her. Goddammit, I almost marked her. I don’t think she realized what she was doing. She wrapped those long legs so damn tight around me, with those feet digging into my ass. Pulled me so deep when I came inside of her. I know for a fact that her wolf is affecting her now.But dammit, I almost lost it.I have to be more careful. I almost knotted her, knowing she wasn’t ready. Something about fucking her tonight was raw, unhinged, but absolutely needed. It was like her wolf was in heat and affecting mine. But that couldn’t be. She hasn’t been freed yet.She’s still bound. So she shouldn’t be affected by the moon. This can’t be happening. I literally felt myself fixing to knot her and my canines lengthening. Broke my shower tile in the process, but finally pushed my wolf back enough to keep control. I would have hurt her if I allowed that to happen.Besides, pups are not something I want to bring into this type of life, is it?It’s one thing to be with your fated mate. Ye

I remember walking into the hospital room to visit my father. I even remember helping him finish his dinner. Waited until the staff helped him bathe and get him re-dressed. I’m not usually here in the evenings to see all that goes on to get him ready to get settled, but I know what it takes.It’s the whole reason I ended up signing my life away to Darin. I took too much for just one person. I was struggling and didn’t have a choice but to put him in a medical facility that took care of patients like him. But as much as that helped, it was expensive. Even with my job, I couldn’t do it alone.Dad scooted over on the bed and patted for me to sit beside him. I knew he was worn out from the day, so I grabbed our book and kicked off my shoes. Slid over on his good side and laid my head on his shoulder. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to just cuddle up in the arms of my father.I was in the middle of reading when Sitka brought us a drink in a to-go cup. Dad leaned over and kissed

My head is killing me. So is the side of my face. I decided to keep my eyes closed because of my throbbing head. It’s a good thing, too, because I can hear what’s going on around me, and I realized then that I must no longer be in solitary confinement. Whatever I’m lying on is actually soft, and the voices I hear aren’t trying to be quiet.“What the fuck is wrong with her, Alex?” Darin sneers.“You.”“I don’t pay you to have a smart mouth with me, Alex. I can end you here and now.” He threatens him.Alex. Darin’s private doctor. I must be worse off than even I thought. I’ve never liked Alex. He always looks at me in disgust and tells me he can never understand why anyone would sign their life away for money. I didn’t. I signed it away for my father. I’ve never taken a cent from Darin unless it has to do with my father.My clothes, necessities, and everything else I have have been bought and given to me by Darin himself. His way of showing me I’m a kept woman. Someone who belongs to hi
