VIKTOR.“Do you want me to come with you?” Rowan asks as she sits up in bed. “Do you want to come?” I return as I tug in my shirt.“Not particularly,” she replies. “Seeing those wolves and then him in one night is more than I can handle but-”“But nothing,” I say as I lean over and give her a short peck. “I can handle the asshole on my own. You go to bed.”“Are you sure?” She asks before a yawn escapes her mouth, making me smile.“I am sure. Go to bed.”I gently push her down to the end before tucking her in. I give her another peck before I leave the room.Once out of her sight, my face falls into the dark scowl that I have been fighting off.It is beyond irritating, how many times the fucker has been to my pack in this past week.It has to stop. Now.“Where is he?” I demand as I walk out of the mansion, Kael, my third in command falling into place beside me.“We didn't let him in. He is still raging at the gates with his Beta,” he replies.“What is he asking for this time?”“His w
DOMINIC THWACK The blow sends Calvin sprawling to the floor of my study, his lip busted and bleeding. “How dare you?!” I growl. “How dare you disrespect me in front of all those wolves?! In front of Viktor?!” “Alpha -” “Shut up!” I roar as I send a kick straight into his middle section, making him cough out blood. “It is bad enough that the other wolves gave no regard for us but you too. And to show your disrespect in front of them! Do you know what you have done?!” “Alpha, please!” He gasps. “If you had killed Viktor in front of those wolves, in his own pack, they could have killed us too. And even if they didn't… it would mean war with the other packs. You said it yourself: we are in bad standing with the packs!” “Is that what gave you the right to manhandle me?! You, my own beta, joined forces with my enemies to drag me out. Do you deny that?!” I ask before stomping on him. “I am sorry,” he begs, his face bloody as he looks at me desperately. “I know what you want,” I sa
ROWAN. “Of all the things you have done, this has to be the most reckless!” I snap as I intentionally increase the pressure in a particular wound. He winces before sending me a glare over his shoulder. “I am already hurt!” He snaps. “You don't have to make it worse.” “Of course I do. How else am I going to get into your head how incredibly foolish your actions were? He is rabid. You said it yourself. Rabid! You know how unnaturally strong those wolves can get. And you still fought him. He could have killed you!” “But he didn't.” “But he could have!” My heart had almost flown out of my chest when he had walked into the room, holding his sides. It was torn, deep cuts from claws ripping through his skin. The wounds are still very fresh, showing his muscle and sinew, with the blood still flowing. His face is swollen and bruised, especially around his jaw where a punch must have hit. A cut above his eye bleeds down his cheek, mixing with dirt and sweat. His clothes are torn and
DOMINIC I check the digital clock hanging on my wall for what must be the hundredth time today. Still no news. What is taking them so long? How hard is it to get moving from the settlement to back here?! The knob of my office door begins to turn, and I look over in expectation only to see my mother walk in. Right. She is still here My hand instinctively goes to my cheeks where she had slapped me last night. I still haven't forgiven her for that. And so, with an annoyed huff, I turn away from her and head to my chair. “What do you want?” I grunt at her. “Were you expecting someone else?” she asks as she walks up to the desk. “I am busy. Get to it already. Why are you here?” “Is that the way to talk to your mother? We haven't seen each other in years, and you are already trying to rush me out.” “You should have thought about that before you slapped me yesterday. And in front of my beta, no less,” I retort “You deserve that slap and more. I had heard rumors of how ins
DOMINICI stare down in shock at the wolf, his words still ringing in my ears.“There was no response from the coalition, alpha!”It is my mother's low and sarcastic chuckle that pulls me out of my thoughts “What,” I begin. “Do you mean there was no response?” I demand.He drops to his feet, trembling as he answers.“I… I stayed at their gate… for a… a whole day, alpha. They didn't let me in.”“I did! I swear I did. They didn't respond.”“What exactly did they say?” I ask “They… they didn't say anything. The only thing they asked was who I was and when I introduced myself and the pack and told them my message from you, they just locked up.”“Who did you tell?”“The wolves at the gates, alpha.”“And did they go report it?”“One of them went in, alpha. And then he retired and just went back to his position. I called out to him. Demanded to know what the response was but they just ignored me. For a whole day. That is why I am late, alpha.”“And Louisa never showed up once?” I ask.“No,
ROWAN.“What is wrong?” I send a glance over my shoulder to see Viktor walking up to me, his hands going around my waist as he rests his head on my shoulder.“It is no big deal,” I mutter as I turn off my phone.“Rowan,” he calls quietly. “I can tell you are worried. What is it?”“It is Lisa,” I say. “She just called to brief me on the going ons of the settlement and was also wondering when I will be back.”“They know you are coming back tomorrow, don't they?”“Yeah…” “Then why are they so anxious?”I let out a heavy sigh before answering“It is Dominic.”“Of course, it is,” he mutters as he steps away to come lean on the banister with me.It is the one connected to my bedroom, overlooking the pack.“What did he do this time?” He asks.“At first, he sent someone to come get me-”“I am sorry, what?!” He exclaimed. “What do you mean by 'get you?”“You heard right. I was being summoned by the great Dominic Valor, himself.”“Why?”“No idea.”“They didn't say?”“They didn't ask and hones
ROWAN.He doesn't even respond.He just keeps playing with my breasts, driving me to insanity and I just know he is going to pull the same stunt of leaving me high again.Deciding on a little payback, I lean forward and grab at his member.His hiss of pleasure and shock is satisfying to me.I watch as his head falls forward, even as he keeps trying to keep his grip on my breasts.We can't have that.With one move, I flip him over so that I am now over him, with his never still in my hands “What…”“My turn,” I mutter at him as I lean over his length, tightening my grip on it.He falls silent at that, arcing deeper into my hand even as his member jumps around in my hand.The feeling of his arousal in my hand makes the fire in me burn hotter. I fix my gaw on his as I lower my head above his lap and bring the tip of his erection to my lips.He takes in a sharp breath as I pull him into my mouth, taking him as far past my lips and deep into my throat as I could.He twitches in response a
ROWAN.“You are back!”Rina's head splitting aceea reacwhamy wars moments before the woman herself flings her self onto me.“Oof, Rina. Easy on me,” I grunt as I stumble back into the car, my arms going round her body to embrace her.“Is that the way to fewer your friend that you haven't seen in over two weeks?!” She demnds with a pout as she leans away from me.“We had a video call this morning,” I remind her.“That was a video call,” she retorts. “It is not the same as seeing you in person. Oh, man. How am I even going to live without seeing either you or Lisa or even my pretty Jhenelle every day?” She whines as she leans down and plucks my daughter off the floor, twirling her around and elicting delighted squeals from her.“You will survive,” I say as I walk into the mansion.“Your mumy is a mean person, do you know that princess?”“Not true,” Jhenelle corrects her. “Mama is nice.”“Hmph! You are just saying that because she is your mummy!”“No! I am saying that because it is true!
