ADAIRA ~ Gavrael made a guttural groan of pure pleasure as I bared myself to him. I understood why, my posture was one of submission, and it was enough to drive the predator in him crazy, that was what I was counting on. I didn’t expect to be affected as well, but his groan reverberated through my body and I had to bite my lip to stop myself from moaning. His chest rumbled with satisfaction as I put one hand around his neck to anchor myself, and caressed his chest with the other hand. His lust was so potent, and the scent of his arousal nearly overwhelmed me. I had to force the memory of how he killed Raed into my head to get some semblance of my control back and remember that this was just a way to distract him, and that I had only one chance at this. I felt him stiffen as he felt my claws sink into his chest, his surprised gaze met mine as he realised the vulnerable position he was in. I felt my lips stretch as I smirked at him. To my surprise, he smirked back at me. Was this male
ADAIRA~Nooooo!I tried to scream but no sound came out of my mouth, I was only able to protest in my head. It all happened too fast. He has marked me, there was no going back now, I am bound to him for all eternity till death. I felt his teeth retract from my neck and as he groaned in pleasure, I realised what he was doing, he was licking the blood that came from his bite. I felt my skin heal where I was bitten and he began to nuzzle my neck.No normal wolf would be able to forcefully mark another, but Gavrael wasn’t normal by any standard, he has proved that over and over again. He took my blood like it was the sweetest thing on earth, and now that he had marked me, I could feel the immense pleasure his demon half got from drinking from me even if it was just a few drops of my blood. All I felt was despair, how could he do this to me?I didn’t even realise I was crying till he licked my tears from my face.“Mine.” He mumbled against my skin, and my anger returned.I shoved him away
Hello readers. If you are regular reader of books with werewolves/wolf shifters then you already know what heat is. To those who may be reading a book of this genre for the first time, I just want to give a little explanation. I want you to have a basic understanding before you continue reading so you won't be confused in the next chapter. Heat is basically a period of extreme arousal in female wolves. It's kind of like ovulation in human females where they are horny and moody and have other symtoms of PMS. But in female wolves, it's more than just being horny. They get the intesnse urge to mate, and if they don't obey that call, it causes extreme pain. A female in heat also gives off a scent that is pleasant to males, for unmated males, the scent drives them crazy and all they can think about is satisfying the female in heat by mating with her. For mated females, they can not stand the touch of another while in heat and can only be satisfied by their mates. For unmated females, they
ADAIRA ~ I stumbled away from the mirror and rushed to the shower. I got in and turned on the water just as the first wave of need pulsed through my lower abdomen and almost sent me to my knees. I gasped in horror as I stepped under the water, it was cold, but it was not soothing at all. Usually, when unmated females go into heat, which happens a few times a year, it wasn’t as strong as this, it would just be a mild discomfort and make the female extra horny because even without heat, wolf shifters were almost always horny. But now, I was already feeling intense arousal even though my heat just started. This was all Gavrael’s fault, that stupid, crazy, awful male that forcefully marked me and declared me as his. This was all his fault, and I wish I had been able to rip his stupid heart out or at least give him a permanent injury he would never forget, like a missing eyeball. Marking me without my consent wasn’t enough, now my heat was forcing me to mate with him. No, I won’t. Even i
ADAIRA ~ If I had the strength to, I would have screamed but I was so weak because of the pain flowing through my veins like liquid fire. The unmated males of the Brookstone pack were caged so they couldn’t run for me, but some were restless in their cages while the others got hurt by the silver on their cages as they stupidly tried to free themselves. The other males were not hindered by cages so they came for me. It was not just one rogue wolf or a dozen that headed my way, fighting each other and running to get me, they were more than I could count at first glance especially when I felt so dizzy. I knew that I should run, but as I took a step, another wave of pain made me whimper and it took all of my strength not to crumple to the floor. I will not go down easily, I will fight till my last breath. Death was better than being raped by who knew how many rogue males. Before the first one could get close to me, there was a thunderous growl from behind me. The males, even though my s
ADAIRA~I gasped as my vision returned and I saw where we materialised.“Are you crazy?” I asked, then shook my head.“Of course you’re crazy, you’ve already proven that countless times since I met you, but this is on a whole other level. Why did you bring me to a volcano? Did you finally decide to kill me like I asked?”I was surprised that my strength was slowly returning, enough for me to speak so much, and speak coherently. But then I realised that it wasn’t actually surprising, Gavrael has been holding on to me, his closeness soothed the pain, and replenished my previously waning strength, even if the price to pay for that is me wanting him more than I needed air. We were standing several hundred feet above the ground, on the crater of a volcano, though I couldn’t see any lava or feel the heat. It was also darker than it had been at the Brookstone pack, almost like we were in another country with a different time zone. The air up here was so cold, it felt good on my overheated
ADAIRA ~ Beautiful sparkling volcano lakes are definitely magical, but the feeling of Gavrael’s lips on mine was more than magical. It was like all the stars in the galaxy were aligned just right. There was no other way to describe it but with sappy lovey dovey words that would make me cringe later, and I refuse to think more nonsense than I already have. Even though it felt good to kiss him, touch him, and feel his touch, I needed to remember that he was the enemy. Curse the fates for matching us together as mates. He was being gentle now, acting sweet, but he would return back to being the monster after this. He was on his way to conquer another pack and only came back because he was told that I was trying to escape. If I asked him to stop his agenda to rule more packs and stop enslaving the packs, and stop killing those fighting for their homes, I doubt he would heed my words. So I needed to bide my time till I can take him out permanently for the sake of everyone else. Losing
ADAIRA~“GAVRAEL!” I screamed and sobbed and squirmed and begged.For hours, maybe days, probably just a few minutes, this insidious male has been torturing me with his tongue. Pleasuring me to within an inch of my life but never letting me orgasm. And because I was still bound by his power, I could do nothing more than take it and plead for mercy.I didn’t even feel shame that I gave in so easily because my brain had been short circuited with ecstasy. I had made the mistake of telling him that though he would be the first male inside me, he wasn’t the first male to go down on me. I only said it out of spite, though it was the truth, Raed had pleasured me a lot of times while we were together even though we never went all the way. Now Gavrael was determined to erase the memory of every other male from my head by singeing my nerves with an overload of pleasure.“Please! Please!”My pleas fell on deaf ears. He was enjoying this, enjoying how helpless I was, enjoying hearing me beg, enj
EPILOGUE ~ Using up so much power drained both me and Gavrael, and we both passed out almost immediately after. We didn’t wake up till after two whole days because our bodies shut down to heal and recuperate. When we finally woke up, we discovered that using so much power had broken the hold of the third souls we each had. I no longer possessed Selene’s soul and Gavrael no longer possessed the soul of the demon king. Their essence had returned to the volcano realm after their souls split from ours. They couldn’t be killed, she was a goddess and he was a god, but it would take a long time for them to recreate a physical form. For now, I was just happy that we would no longer be the victims of an age long war. Then came another problem, the issue of Gavrael’s possessiveness. He was no longer under the control of the demon king, but now that he knew I was pregnant, his wolf was just as easily pissed off as he was before. It was usual for the mates of pregnant females to become very ter
GAVRAEL ~ He calls himself Zephyr, and seeing him manhandle my mate made me angry. But my anger wasn’t enough to break myself from his hold and regain control of my body. “Kill them all, I’ll deal with her. I could only watch as he took Adaira away from the battlefield, knowing that she was their only hope to win the battle against his beasts. “How does it feel having so much power but being unable to use it? You trapped me for centuries, took my memories, took my powers, kept me in this mortal body. This is just a slight taste of that. So tell me how it feels to hate what’s happening but not be able to do anything about it?” I could feel his amusement as she tried in vain to free herself from his grip. He was enjoying her struggles and her helplessness. I couldn’t even reach out to her to at least let her know that despite everything, I was still in here even if I’ve been pushed so far deep in my subconscious that I didn’t know the way out. But he had put an impenetrable barrie
ADAIRA ~ Gavrael is gone and there is no way for me to get to him. I wanted to use my powers to get across to the nether realm but Theia warned me not to do so because I would never be able to defeat him in his realm, he was stronger there. Our best chance of winning this battle is here in this realm, which means we have to wait for Gavrael’s return. By the looks of things, he would not be returning as my mate but as the demon king, with an army meant to obliterate us all. “There has to be something else we can do.” I said to Theia after waiting for an hour with no sign of Gavrael or any danger. My wolf was restless because my bond to Gavrael was so faint now that I had to search deep before I could feel it. I was terrified. What if the demon king somehow finds a way to sever our bond, how would I be able to reach my mate and bring him back? “You need to calm down. Your restlessness is affecting your pack. They’re already dreading the fight we all have coming, and they only stayed
GAVRAEL ~Heat, rage and pain. Those were the only emotions flowing through me at this moment. It was like my blood had been exchanged with lava and my head was being drilled open by a thousand nails. I felt the power of the full blood moon before it even rose and cast its reddish hue over the earth. This past week, I had to stay away from everyone except Adaira because I was losing my temper at the slightest provocation. I knew it was just because of what was coming that my restraint was shitty but at the same time, I couldn’t control myself which led to my isolation in order to protect everyone from me. Adaira was the only one whose presence I could tolerate even in those moments. And the second those rays of light from the full blood moon touched the earth, everything became worse.Heat, rage, pain. Nothing else mattered but these, and the demon whose soul was bound to me feasted on them delightfully. He was much stronger now and he was actively fighting me for control of my body.
ADAIRA~I was eating more than normal out of anxiety. It was still better than worrying myself to death and overthinking everything though. My sleeping schedule was also wack but that was understandable. The full blood moon would rise tomorrow night and I just couldn’t bring myself to sleep even if it still was hours away. My wolf on the other hand was calm and mostly silent. After the night of the pack bonding ceremony where we all shifted to wolf form and ran as one pack to strengthen the pack bonds, she hadn’t made a push to be set free which was unusual. Usually, if I stayed for more than two days without shifting, she would be angsty and restless, whining to be set free, and I would have to shift and run even if for a few minutes. But it’s been days without shifting and she was still calm, I had no idea why and I was too preoccupied with everything else happening to try and figure it out. Maybe she understood the complexity of the situation we were in and was just trying to help
ADAIRA ~ It took two days of mating almost all round the clock for my heat to die down and for the both of us to regain our senses. And as this problem was solved, another problem presented itself, our lives were just a myriad of problems nowadays but who’s counting. When we returned to the pack after my heat passed, almost all the other packs had come to join us, just two were left and they were expected to arrive in a few hours. But as I passed through the crowd, all the males were still attuned to my scent even though I was no longer in heat. Females were also drawn to my scent but it didn’t make them lust after me like it was confusing the males. It was a big problem because it was causing chaos and it was making everyone restless, and I had no idea why it was happening. In fact, it seemed to be even worse now than when I was actually in heat. Sage wolves had also been arriving from the human towns close by. They were wary but they were all put together in one house to await my
ADAIRA ~ Just as expected, the rest of the pack took the news of Sage wolves with varying degrees of disgust, shock and wariness. When we announced the merger into one mega pack, they were even more shocked and awed. There were obviously protests especially when we let them know that we planned to get messages across to Sage wolves in hiding and have them come here to join the pack. But we also explained the great danger that would be coming against us and that we would only be able to defeat them if we work together. Next we let anyone with ideas step forward and speak. There was so much to be done; clearing the surrounding forest for instance, so those that would come to join us would have room to build their own houses, plans to build another general pack house where meals can be taken by a larger group because eating together was a shifter custom meant to ensure the pack bonds remain strong, same as hunting in a group and running as a pack on some full moons. There would also be
ADAIRA~I moved closer and held Theia’s mother by the hand. I forced myself to relax and put every doubt out of my mind. If I could protect the whole pack with the barrier, this was nothing compared to that. I didn’t really know what to envision, last night, it had been easier to see a barrier forming in my mind just like Gavrael directed. But now, do I imagine her using powers? Or imagine me giving her powers?It turned out that I didn’t need to do all that. While holding her hands, I felt some sort of vacuum, a hole in her essence. A missing piece. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that that must be the part of her where her powers used to reside, all I needed to do was to fill it up. I reached out to her with my own essence and I vaguely heard her gasp as she was zapped with it. Her hands were released from mine as she crumpled to the floor and her husband rushed to make sure she was okay.I opened my eyes to see that she was faintly glowing for a few seconds before the glow died do
ADAIRA~I was getting weird looks from everyone that saw me today. After eating by midnight and talking for a while, Gavrael and I had gone back to bed to sleep and woke up after dawn but later than usual, we were entitled to sleeping in after everything that happened after all. But as we left the room to join the others for breakfast, everyone was either looking at me with awe or fear or both. I figured out why when Gaby walked closer to us to speak to me.”Ady, did you really… you know, do that stuff?” She asked.She seemed unsure of how to ask her question and if she should even ask it. I also didn’t understand what exactly she was talking about, so I asked.“What stuff?”“The warriors that fought with you, they showed all of us what you did. We weren’t there but we could see it from their minds. It still seems a bit hard to believe. You were flying or floating, I don’t know, and you were glowing, and there was so much light. And you burned the dead ones, none of the creatures cou
