Toothless X Astrid Novels & Stories

I reject Astrid as my mate. The tethered bond, the invisible thread that connected us, snapped. Not a clean break, but a violent, agonizing tear.

I have to press my lips together, swallowing a moan at the effect this simple gesture has on me.

I stopped what I was doing when Ivan suddenly talked to me through a mind link. ‘Alpha Vincent, the shipment of wine, successfully arrived in Europe. There’s no problem with the production area and the farm. The operation went smoothly,’ Ivan reported, which made me nod in contentment. ‘Good. Kindly go back here. I would like to talk to you about the new slave,’ I replied through the mind link. The slave that I was referring to was Astrid. As I remember, Astrid said earlier that she was waiting for Ivan to get back here so that she could eat. But because of his absence, Astrid had no choice but to get out. Then, a big commotion between her and the brat happened.
