The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty Novels & Stories

“You brought a stranger home?” “I didn’t bring her anywhere. She brought herself.” “Well, that’s ominous.” Leona tilted her head. “What do I call this file? ‘Femme Fatale’?” “Call it what you want,” he said, sliding behind his desk. “Just find her.” Leona watched him for a moment. “This about your father’s charity deal? Because if you’re spiraling again—” “She stole from me.” That made her pause. Leona’s eyes narrowed. “What?”

She has no feelings for him and probably hates him deep down. He turns and leaves the room. Dessery follows behind him, leaving Zeedar and Heaven alone. The former is confused by Heaven’s words. He doesn’t know where to start comprehending what she just said. But he breaks it down little by little in his mind. Turns out she’s Sleeping Beauty and he’s her Prince Charming, but… how? He has never had one romantic connection with Heaven while she was awake. “Would you like to return to the lupine kingdom with us?” he asks.

Then speak. “The Sancta he was supposed to claim… has been claimed by another.” Her eyes widen. “What? Wait... How? But can’t he get compensation for that? There’s a clause, isn’t there?” “Yes. Restitution” I say. “In most cases.” “In most cases?” she presses. I meet her gaze. “She was claimed by the king.” Silence crashes into the room. “…King?” Mina repeats slowly. “You guys have a king?”

"Against the cold stone? Somewhere pathetic and beneath him?" I look down at my cup, my fingers trembling. "Althea, we didn’t—" "Don't lie to me. Your pussy is probably still throbbing from him," the words coming out jagged and raw. She leans across the table, her face twisting into something ugly and desperate. "I stood in that bedroom last night. I got naked. I offered him a body that is younger, cleaner, and legally his. I practically begged him to break me. I told him to fuck me hard, to leave marks, to show me the monster he is."

It was late by the time we finished dealing with the aftermath at the family safe house, so I took Vincent directly back to my private penthouse. The next morning, I woke up to breakfast already laid out. I leaned against the doorframe, watching the man seriously brewing coffee. "Feeling domestic?" "I don't have an official title yet. Have to stay on my best behavior to make a good impression on my princess." "Otherwise, what if she gets mad and decides she doesn't want me anymore?"

“If I claim you, no one can touch you. Not your scholarship. Not your job. Not your aunt’s insurance. Nothing.” “And what does claiming mean exactly?” “It means you’re mine. And I’m yours. In every way that matters to wolves.” Heat flooded my face. “Every way?” “Not like that. Not unless you want it to be.” His voice went soft. “The claiming is a mark. A scent. Something that tells other wolves to back off. It doesn’t have to mean more than that unless we decide it does.” “But everyone will think we’re together.” “We are together. Aren’t we?”

he speaks to the women as if they are beneath him. “I have foreseen the fall of your realm,” one of the women speaks. She lowers her hood, and milky white eyes glare through the night. The fae doesn’t believe her, but she had foreseen that as well. “What do you need with my child?” He asks, holding the bundle close to his chest. “The Lycan King will break through the veil to claim her,” the woman continues. The fae scoffs. “He doesn’t possess the magic to do that.”

His jawline is sharp, and his inherent beauty seems even more striking, which is almost absurd. I can’t resist the urge to trace my fingers gently along his jawline for a moment. “Why are you so charming?” I whisper. The question is meant for him, but in that quiet dimness, I find myself asking it to the room itself. I continue to gaze at the peaceful sight of my sleeping companion. Sleeping Beauty isn’t just a fairy tale; it’s a charming male right beside me. My tongue glides over my dry lips, and I swallow, willing myself to sleep.

Alora Well, this is fifty seven shades of fucked the hell up. I am standing back here at the back of the room, behind the podium where Killian is currently addressing his wolves. He's explaining that I'm his mate, and we have claimed each other. I almost choke on that, but I manage to hold it in.

Cain closed the door, pulled me into his arms, and held me while I trembled. "You did what had to be done." "I killed an elder of my pack." "An elder who tried to kill you. There's a difference." I looked up at him. "You said you don't chase. You said you only pursue. Was last night enough pursuit for you?" He smiled, slow and dangerous. "I told you. A claiming takes three nights. You've had one night of surrender, and one night of battle. The third night is for something else entirely." "Which is?"
