ADAIRA
~
I made the mistake of trying to get up again, forgetting where I was for a moment. I snarled and cursed as my back collided with the top of the cage. I looked around, momentarily confused why I was still in a cage, I thought we had already escaped. My eyes widened as I finally realised what had happened… O dear goddess, I was just dreaming. We never escaped.
“Who is Raed?” The man in front of me growled menacingly.
He was crouched in front of my cage and in my position, I couldn’t see his full frame, just his face. But I didn’t need to see him completely to know who he was, I felt the power that seemed to seep from his pores. He could be no other person but the Rogue Alpha that was terrorising the other packs with his pack of miscreants. He was beautiful. Brown skinned with curly hair that was in a complicated knot on his head with some tendrils loose around his face, full sensuous lips, and those eyes that were now more golden but still had a little swirl of red in it.
I had heard stories that the Rogue Alpha was more than just a wolf, and I dismissed them all as wild imaginations. But now, as I watched the red in his eyes disappear completely to leave his eyes completely golden, I was convinced that there must be some truth to those stories. Normal wolves never had red eyes, not even rogues or ferals. Feral wolves are those who have gone completely mad. It usually starts from being a rogue, losing touch of the human side and then deteriorating mentally till the wolf becomes irrational and crazy with bloodlust, killing any and everyone without provocation. Rogues were usually allowed to roam around in the wild as long as they stayed away from pack lands, but ferals were always killed immediately before they could wreak any havoc.
“Answer me.” He growled as he grabbed the top bars of my cage and ripped them apart like they were made of paper.
I was too busy admiring the bulge of his muscles as he moved that I didn’t even get a chance to yelp when he grabbed me by the back of the neck and yanked me up, out of the cage through the now open cage top. As he stood with me still firmly in his grip, I could now see his full frame. He was built like a damn mountain, almost seven feet of pure, male specimen, covered up with a leather jacket, grey shirt and jeans. I couldn’t stop my eyes from wandering down his delectable frame, and I wished he wasn’t clothed. It seemed like such a shame to keep all this hotness covered.
I suddenly realised where my thoughts had wandered to and shook my head to snap out of it. What kind of female daydreams about a male that was a sworn enemy of every pack in existence, is the reason for her captivity, and all this while her fiance is just a few metres away and also a prisoner. That reminder was what made my anger return with a vengeance. How dare this male question me when he was the cause of everything that was going wrong with my world right now?
“I’m not obliged to answer questions growled so insolently at me, especially by a male I don’t know and who is the reason I was locked in a cage like a damn dog.” I growled right back at him.
I could feel my wolf’s energy simmering right underneath my skin, and I knew that my eyes were a different colour now, just like his own. My wolf was pissed and she wasn't afraid to show it.
“The cage was necessary for the time being. If you cooperate, there will be no need for it.” He said to me like it was perfectly normal to lock someone up in a cage after your minions almost ripped them apart.
“Cooperate? What the fuck does that even mean?” I asked incredulously. “And you’re delusional if you think I’ll ever agree to anything you have to say.” He just chuckled.
“You have a dirty mouth, I wonder just how filthy it can get.” His voice dropped an octave lower as he moved his arm from the back of my neck to wrap it around my waist.
The deep rumble of his voice vibrated through my body and I felt my nipples harden against my will. Since I had been worn such a thin dress by who knows which minion of his, he could clearly see the outline of the two taut peaks on my chest. His eyes darkened and he pulled me so close to him that there wasn’t even air between us. This close, the height difference between us was very clear, my head was just up to his chin and I had to tilt my head back to be able to look at him. Being a six feet tall female, I wasn’t used to anyone being this much taller than me. Even Raed was only three inches taller than me so I didn’t have to tilt my head so far back to look at him like I was looking at this male.
“You haven’t answered my question.” I said to distract him as I tried to move out of his grip.
I didn’t know if my wolf was still weakened or if he was just freakishly strong, but my squirming was futile, even though I was using all my strength to try and free myself.
“Put me down!”
Instead of doing that, he moved his free hand into my hair and tilted my head back so he could sniff my neck. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from moaning as he groaned so deeply, I could feel it in my own body.
“You smell like a fucking dream, I’m sure you taste even better.” His voice was thick with lust as he spoke and then licked my neck, not minding that I was sweating.
The feeling of his tongue on my skin made me shiver and clenched my thighs together to relieve the ache between them. I could feel how hard he was and even my wolf was entranced by the feel of him. I took a deep breath and immediately regretted it. His scent invaded my senses, musky, smokey and so damn mouth watering.
I don’t know how the thin straps of the dress were removed from my shoulders, maybe he did it, or maybe I did, who knows, I definitely wasn’t in my right mind. My heaving breasts popped free as the dress slid down my chest since it was no longer being supported by the straps. He growled darkly as he nuzzled my breasts and I whimpered.
“W.what did you do to me?” I asked breathlessly and closed my eyes with a soft moan as his lips closed around my right nipple.
I held on to his head as he began to suck, my legs were trembling so badly that I knew I would have fallen flat if not for his arms around me.
“S.stop… we can’t…”
“Why not? He asked as he moved from the right to the left nipple.
Instead of sucking, he bit the taut peak as if warning me to consider my answer carefully before speaking. I moaned helplessly as the tip of his tongue circled around it to soothe the sting of his bite. I have never felt like this before, even with Raed. His touch never made me feel this good, never made me feel so hot, and like I would die if he ever stopped touching me.
Thinking of Raed made me force myself to grab on to the last two brain cells left in my head. I didn’t know what was happening to me but Raed didn’t deserve to be betrayed like this. I couldn’t even call on my wolf for help because she was no longer angry now, instead, she purred every time this male touched me.
I forced his head up because I would never be able to speak with his mouth on my nipples.
“Why do I feel this way? What did you do to me? Let me go.” I said to him more firmly this time.
He dropped me and it took a few seconds for my legs to stop trembling enough to hold me up as he took a step back. His gaze was fixed on my breasts that were still exposed and I moved my hands to pull up my dress straps and cover myself up.
‘No, leave it the way it is.” He growled at me.
Who does he think he is to order me around? Did he really expect me to remain half naked for his benefit?
My anger slowly returned and I was grateful for it. Anger, I could understand, but whatever the fuck it was we just did, I couldn’t process it at all. I glared at him as I fixed the dress properly, the material was thin and my nipples were still visible but it was better than nothing. The gold in his eyes was quickly swallowed up as his eyes turned red, and when he spoke, his voice sounded impossibly deeper, and very very angry.
“You will learn to obey me.”
I yelped as he grabbed my arm and pulled me to a cage close to the tree line that I hadn’t seen before. At least I could stand in this one, and when he locked me in it, I immediately noticed that the bars were not reinforced like the last one. I could get out of here more easily, I just needed to wait for the right moment.
“I’ll be back, I’ve got things to attend to.” He said and walked away.
ADAIRA~I waited patiently and listened carefully. The rogues were being rowdy, and from the sounds I could hear, it seemed like they were being gathered together for something, like they wanted to leave, maybe to invade another pack. The Rogue Alpha didn’t send any of his wolves to guard me, and I didn’t know whether to be elated or insulted. One one hand, I knew that it was a good thing because my escape would be easier without someone constantly watching me. On the other hand, if he didn’t send any guards here, then he didn’t consider me enough of a threat to do so. Even if this was a better option for my escape, my wolf was annoyed at being disregarded as a warrior, and I was annoyed at her for letting me down.Now I wish I could actually communicate with my wolf, the curse words I would have used on her have not been invented yet. Instead, I settled for just projecting my anger about her actions, making sure she would feel the full brunt of my disappointment. She tried to send f
ADAIRA ~ I dodged the other two and ran towards the third one. If Gavrael returned here, our chances of escaping would be less than five percent. Because she was distracted by the mind link, she didn’t notice me coming for her till it was too late, I snapped her neck just as one of the two males pounced on me. They had both shifted to their wolves. I had an advantage, I knew that their Alpha didn’t want me dead so they wouldn’t strike to kill but I will. I grabbed the wolf at my back and tossed him aside just as the other one prepared to jump on me. They were trying to pin me down, subdue me and recapture me… over my dead body. I crouched as the second wolf dove for me, and swiped my claws on his soft underbelly. He howled in pain as he landed on the floor hard. I turned and faced the other one. Even after seeing what I did to his team mate, he still jumped to pounce on me. I crouched and did the same thing to him. They laid on the floor, bleeding from the deep cut to that sensitive
ADAIRA~I whirled with the full force of my anger, screaming with all the pain in my heart as my claws slashed across his face. But he stepped back a second before I could actually connect with his skin so my claws slashed uselessly in the space in front of his face instead of its intended target. How on earth was he so damn fast? I didn’t stop though, only an untrained warrior would do that, slowing down would just give your enemy an advantage. I let my body keep moving with the momentum of my first strike and used the force of it to deliver a kick. The obvious choice would have been a high kick to his jaw, and I knew he would anticipate that so when his quick reflex moved his upper body backward, I smirked. Unpredictability was a big advantage in a fight, especially one where I was so outmatched.I changed the direction of my kick at the very last minute and he howled with pain as my foot moved lower and connected with his knee. Despite the force of that blow, he only staggered. A
GAVRAEL ~ When I was informed that the white wolf had finally been captured, I was filled with so much longing. I gave strict instructions for no harm to come to her, and I immediately abandoned the pack of wolves I was leading to overtake another pack. I returned and found her asleep in one of the low cages, and though I hated the barrier between us, I knew that it was necessary for now until she agreed to be mine willingly. I have waited for her for so long, she was born to be mine, and I couldn’t wait to claim her. Just the thought of it made me ache so badly. I crouched outside her cage and reached through the bars to stroke her hair. I was pleased to see that she had been cleaned and clothed. The bars of the cage had no silver because I didn’t want her hurt in any way. She stirred and made a soft moaning noise that filled me with fierce arousal that quickly turned to anger when she moaned another man’s name and opened her eyes. She gasped, shocked to see me, and smacked her ba
GAVRAEL~She was about to attack me again but I caught her wrists and spun her around so her back was now facing my chest. I pulled her closer, unable to help myself, I needed to feel her against me. For a second, she relaxed against me, her body going limp as my breath touched her skin. Then she began to twist and move, trying to free herself from my grip. I don’t know why she was fighting so hard when it was useless in the end, she will be mine whether she likes it or not. Her body knows that it belongs to me, but her mind refuses to accept it. Maybe I need to explain this to her in a way she would understand, she seemed to not have realised that she was my mate.I felt her stiffen when she felt my erection pressed against her backside. I didn’t get the chance to enjoy the feeling before she moved her head backwards and smashed her skull against my face. I let her go, not because what she did hurt me, but because I wanted to see what she would do. Her antics were amusing my wolf an
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
