“I said, I want to go.” I watched as he wore the trousers and tied the knot resting on his lower abdomen. His defined eight-pack abs and defined chest muscles bulged as I gulped and tried to ignore the red scratches on his broad back remebering our heated last night. Xerxes took me several times. By the time he was for , I was panting and barley conscious. I did not remembered when he cleaned me and put me to sleep, but when I woke up, I found him already bathed and getting ready for the day. “Katarina…” There was a hint of warning in his tone as he narrowed his eyes and concealed his bareness by putting on a black fitted T-shirt that strained against his bulging biceps. He was a prudent male, with beauty of a fallen angel and body that would put a god to shame. I stirred on my spot, swaying my legs before I was walking towards him. My mate sensed my presence as he stiffened and wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging him from behind. My arms could barely conceal around his chest
His hand curled around her bicep and he tossed her on the ground. The way she looked up at him panting and with a teasing smile, my guys twisted agonisingly. The existence inside me stiffened, my body was tensed, alert. Xerxes gave her his infamous arrogant smirk and held his hand for her to grab. There was nothing sexual in his course of action, but I was afraid that she felt the same. There was no innocence in the way she grabbed his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. My fists clenched. Laura smiled at him muttering something and Xerxes raised his brow before leaning down and whispering something in her ear. “Luna!” My line of vision was a blocked by grilled yellow frock. And I flinched and jumped on the ground where I was sitting. A smile on her pink lips and a small box resting between her small hands. I swallowed, trying to smile as truly as I could. I was not annoyed at her, but a couple behind her. Couple? Couple?! “Daniella!” I said patting the grass next to me. Danie
Our lips came together again, his hands going to my hips. He lifted me off the table, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, surrendering to his strength. His muscles flexed, bulging against mine, and there was no mistaking the other bulge in his pants. He was hard as a rock, his pants tenting in front of him, his cock pressing into my thigh. I threaded my fingers in his hair, kissing him with all of my relief and hunger, pouring myself into the caress.His muscles were clenched tight as his hand impatiently pressed against my heated flesh. Sinking his claws and bundling my T-shirt in his palms, Xerxes tugged at it. Shredding it apart with my bra as he threw it over his shoulder. My sore breats were exposed to him and I felt his lewd hands squeezing them. My heart beating against my ribs, and my pulse leaped and skittered in my throat. I felt flushed and frigid at the same time, surges of arousal flowing from the top of my head to the underside of my feet. I was an attractive woman,
I felt Xerxes and I were moulded with the same clay, each of us couldn’t get enough of one other. Not delegating the changelessness of my voice, I bobbed. My intellect was a blank. I could barely feel and the scent of him made it harder still to construct legible ideas. When I felt the slick head of his cock probe against my pussy, I looked down at him in ambush. The dark fire that always summoned us would blaze out of control, and I end up screaming in his arms in pleasure. “I’m gonna put it in,” he whispered, his words washed over me like a dark wave, terrifying and fascinating at the same time. I buried my face in his neck breathing in his warmth, I was getting drowsy, like an intoxicating feeling. His powerful chest heaved as he slowly parted my legs and began rubbing the ore-leaking cum on my slit. “Ngh!” My voice trembling. I saw the lust in his eyes and shivered. It was then that he drove his cock inside me, and I cast a glottal lament profound within my throat. I sunk agai
“What kind of cake should we make? Chocolate? Vanilla?” My hands moved carefully as I poured all-purpose flour into the batter bowl. But then before I could ass chocolate to the batter, I turned to face Daniella and asked with a raised brow. “How about cheesecake?”Daniella turned towards me. The small plates in her hands were wet as water dripped down the floor and she carefully placed them in the dishwasher. It was already near the moon and I was afraid I had enough time to prepare for tonight’s feast. That’s right. Feast. I insisted on having a packed dinner with all the pack members–children and women including–only to know them better. I was going to be their Luna so it was kind of my duty to know them on a comfortable level. Xerxes was always reluctant. He did not want me to create a mess in his house, which was not an issue for me. My cheeks burned red as I remembered my confession last night. Not only I asked him to marry me, but he showed me in many indecent ways how badly h
The firmament sphere blue colour complimented my tan skin and the earrings I managed to pull off giving a nice and elegant touch. I hope Xerxes would like this. Dusting my face with little to no makeup, I applied some lip tints and some on my cheeks. I flowed up internally more, maybe it was the cause of little life growing inside me. I couldn’t admit it, yet I couldn’t deny it. Why was there such restless whenever I thought of him? I was here because of him and he was here for me, our hearts were united with a single life growing inside me. I was astonished at how I had started to find devotion in loving him when all I should do was hate him, and loathe him for life. The man who made me suffer was not the reason for every happy smile on my lips, and the tears of joy in my eyes, he was engraved within me just like I was buried in him. I gazed at myself in the mirror and sighed. What had you done to me, Xerxes? It felt like he had separated me from myself. I was so close to him that
Walking over to us, Damien gave us a bow. I smiled at his gesture and Xerxes pulled out a chair for me. Several eyes followed us as my mate made me sit on the chair while every other wolf stood on their spot, their curious gaze on us and murmuring their confusion in the air. I couldn’t hear them precisely, but I could feel their startlement with the said situation. I could understand them, they had never seen me, or even know their Alpha had a mate in the first place. So their scandalous gazes were somewhat expected. Xerxes bent, lifting a glass of wine from the table and raised his hand in the air, getting the attention of every single wolf as he looked ahead. I knew that look of a capable Alpha, responsible and a true leader. I never gave much thought to the notion of respect before, I simply poured out love and hoped to get some back. I guess that was why Xerxes saw me as simple, a target for aggression, a ready victim. I was not that helpless girl anymore and now I knew the diff
Even with the distance between us, I could recognise the couple standing with Xerxes. How could I forget them? As much as I was shocked, I was stunned to see them here. What were they doing here? Were they also one of Xerxes’s group of guests who he invited without my knowledge? Why was it looking like Xerxes was hiding something from me? Why? The tension made me fidget with my fingers as I get my heartbeat racing with anticipation. He wouldn’t betray me, would he? And why would he betray me, he had no reason to do so. At least that’s what I used to convince myself as I took cautious steps towards the trio. This time, Xerxes was not stunned to me see me instead he raised his hand in my direction. “Come here, Katraina.” He beckoned me over and I steadily placed my hand in his, warmth seeping through us as I looked at the couple in front. “This is Marcus, Alpha of Bluemoon pack. And his mate, Aurora.” He didn’t have to introduce me cause I was already acquainted with them. I hadn’t se
“Xerina! Stop right there! It’s dangerous!” Luca’s shouts filled the air as he chased after me. His voice was irritated and concerned as I laughed and ran through the forest. Jumping over the lodges of wood and hay, I was covered in mud and dirt. Everyone in the pack loved how energetic and relaxed I was even though I was going to get a better earful of scolds from my father later. But now he had gotten quite used to my tactics. “Hurry up, Luca!” I screeched dashing down the muddy road that led to the cave just between the forest. I stopped when my breathing become haggard and I could no longer hear Luca behind me. Where was he? Did I lose him? A grin managed to creep on my face at the thought. Now I would be able to enjoy myself-“Ah!” A scream left my mouth when Luca suddenly jumped in front of me. Faking a startled gasp I narrowed my eyes at him. “You scared me.”“It’s enough, let’s go back.” He panted as he grabbed my wrist and I jerked my hand back. Placing both of my hands on my
In that captivating moment, as he lifted one of his legs gracefully in the air, a surge of anticipation pulsed through me. It was as if time had momentarily stood still, allowing us to surrender to the intensity of our connection. His fervent kiss upon my ankle ignited a fiery passion that resonated with the same depth as his kisses upon my lips.With each deliberate movement, he embarked on a seductive journey along the contours of my leg, his tongue tracing a tantalizing path. A tender pause at my knee ensued, where his lips delicately danced, leaving an imprint of affection that sent shivers of pleasure cascading through my entire being. The sheer intimacy of his touch captured my senses, causing me to succumb to an all-encompassing desire that left me vulnerable and yearning.As he descended upon my thigh, his tongue became an instrument of pure ecstasy. Each stroke, each exploration, evoked a blissful surrender within. I, consumed by an indescribable hunger, felt my very essence m
There weren’t too many people, but I was so nervous all of sudden. I was mucous since morning, even Aurora had scolded me once in between that I was being paranoid for no reason. Well, damn her. It was not like I was getting married everyday. We had completed our rituals for the ceremony, and now I wa awaiting for my mate to come and take me to our shared chambers to consummate the marriage. I was fidgeting with my fingers when I looked myself in the mirror. Wearing a white wedding dress that reached my ankles and a deep cut over the neck that was decorated with lace. The door opened and I gasped as Xerxes stepped inside wearing his black tuxedo. I blushed. He looked so handsome and beautiful that it was almost unrealistic. I averted my gaze from his with embarrassment as he smirked and stepped forward. “You ready?” He asked in his masculine voice and I shyly nodded. Leaning down to my face, he brushed his lips against my cheek. “I can not wait anymore.” I could senses his arousal. P
“Papa! Papa!” I peered through the kitchen door at my three-year-old running through the lobby and rushing to her father. An unpleased frown on her face as she immediately looked at her father with a pout on her lips. “Luca scolded me.”Faking a frown, my husband scooped the little bundle of joy in his arms and cradled her in his lap. “Why?” He asked wiping the remnants of chocolate on the corner of her lips. Xerina was fond of sweets and probably Luca found her chocolate hiding spot, that’s why he scolded her. Xerina’s eyes visibly narrowed while she glared at her father. “He stole my choci-chose.” She complained and I chuckled knowing I was right. Xerxes’s laugh filled the air and my chest squeezed–as it did every time I saw him with our family. Joy. Unrestrained joy and happiness. I would never tire of seeing him like this. “He did? Where did you get those from?” Xerxes asked shifting her and caressing her stuffed cheeks. She immediately looked away. “I-I…from mama.” My eyes wi
Her life these past years or more had been akin to sprinting through fog. When she often feel to the core of her soul that life was sacred, when she conclude that the natural world was woven into her heart–illusions and diabolical, that their love was all part of this great tapestry of creation, then she would finally be home. Then her Mother Moon would feel that she had returned. Finally in her arms. She loves her children equally. “We haven’t seen Alpha, there’s no sign of either of them,” one of the wolves said through the door. “But wolves are searching for them, the borders are seized.” Marcus bobbed his head and then his eyes moved to the bed. Aurora had gained consciousness a few hours back and on James’s instructions, she had been resting since then. Daniella was traumatised and he suggested she go back, but the little girl was too stubborn, she insisted on being here with her injured brother and Katarina. Katraina. Marcus was worried for her. She had lost so much blood and
“Hold them down!” Marcus growled as he ducked through the hoard of rouges coming his way. He snarled with anger as several of them tried to hold him down. The battlegrounds were bloodied, but it didn’t stop him from shedding more as he tore them limb by limb. Some were in their wolf forms while others were inhuman, Marcus shifted into his wolf form and roared like a wild beast before running through the pile and making his way to the house where he last left Aurora. Aurora. Her name should bring him anger, malice and betrayal, but right now he couldn’t think that way. He should be angry at her that sleeping with another man before him, she gave birth to a pup who didn’t carry his blood, and she spiked their mate bond. But strangely, right now all he cared was about her. Nothing mattered. Nothing. He realised he had been hating her for nothing. He loved her, even knowing she had betrayed him. Their relationship was not that was built upon trust and love, but he could change that. He
“I didn’t want to do this, cupcake. I was getting fond of you.” His hands held onto the thick strand of my story hair and he sniffed it making me cry h my nose in disgust. “But power is power. This is the moment I always dreamed of–to be in charge of power.” I swam for the light and he did everything he could to take me into the abyss. He betrayed me, not the other way around.“Why did you lied to me?” I seethed. His eyes looked mockingly at me. It was fear that brought rage, that hot burning anger that seeked to harm. It was a biological button better left alone. When we see something that frightened us, a primitive part of the brain was activated to produce aggression. So, I, when I see all the things around me that make me scared... I was being deliberately triggered... as were my emotions. That rage destroyed me from the inside.“I never did. I really loved you.” He whispered. “You fucking psycho!” Rage filled my voice and I thrashed. Betrayal was a conscious choice for cold indi
“A-Augustus…” I breathed out stumbling a step back. His blue eyes narrowed as he assessed me with his gaze. Concern was an act of deep and real caring and as such was a marker of our intertwined souls. I sighed in contempt. If he wasn’t here- I didn’t want to think what would have happened to us. “I don’t have time, Katraina. You have to come with me.” He quickly looked around and motioned me to follow him. I gazed at Aurora as she groaned in pain. Leon crying as Daniella looked terrifyingly between us. She was but a child, this must have shocked her to the core. My first reaction should be taking care of my females than fleeing. I shook my head. “I-I can not leave them behind.” Augustus narrowed his eyes. I could see the worry in his eyes, but they seemed somewhat strange. What Madrei told me earlier flooded through my head and I pondered over it once again. It must be Andrei. Did Augustus know? He probably did cause then he wouldn’t be here. But still, something didn’t feel right.
“Katarina…” his voice was as sharp as I last remembered, profound. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. Never before had I noticed how time was so much like water; that it could pass slowly, a drop at a time, even freeze, or rush by in a blink. The clock said it was measured and constant, tick tock, part of an orderly world; the clock lied. “What are you doing here?” My brain stuttered for a moment and my eyes took in more light than I expected, every part of me went on pause while my thoughts caught up. After a wash of reality, I stepped forward, feeling a new danger in my living room. “I need to talk to you, it’s urgent.” He stepped forward, his fists clenched on his sides and a frown resting between his brows. He looked tensed for some reason. I couldn’t believe a man as terrific as him would step foot in here only to talk to his enemy’s mate. I didn’t know much, but Xerxes had filled me with how much dangerous Andrei could be. The man seemed like he breathed in danger and lived on o
