KAIN’S POV
I knew it was her from the moment she walked into my office by that exotic maddening scent wafting off her skin, just like it had that night.She was exceptional, alluring physically, standing out in a crowd of simply bland women.The perfect add to my collection.Her unusual, almost white hair and crystal blue eyes were like none other, far from the typical, and then the daring stare she passed my way.I threw away the measly price of only 2 million to get her as mine rightfully. She’s nothing but a pretty trophy among many others, to simply show that I have the best of everything and more.Looking up from my desk now and seeing her, however, has me momentarily irked as I haven’t given an order for her to stand before me yet.Order.That’s how I want things to work in my pack. Order is everything, makes everything flow smoothly.Anything out of order is disorder, and I can’t stand for that. But looking at her face right now, staring at me with feigned wide innocent eyes… trying to fool me?Well, I guess I can entertain her, seeing as I’m bored.“I see that you didn’t heed to my instructions. Don’t approach unless called to.” I say tiredly.I see the glint in her eyes before she makes a pout like a spoilt child. I see right through every façade she puts on.“I guess I couldn’t wait to see you again after last night.” She replies.I see, it’s obvious what’s going on here.I must have hurt her pride not going to her the night before, which is none of my business. I don’t have to care about the feelings of anything I own. They belong to me for a purpose; to serve faithfully.The fact that she defied my orders just for all this has me peeved again, and I rise to me feet, quickly towering over her small frame easily.“When I give an order, you follow it exactly as stated.” I remind her of her place, stepping close enough to her to instill a bit of fear in her, picking up a small lock of hair.It is only her fear that will keep her in check as I want her to be. If not, it would be a waste to end such a pretty she-wolf.However, the fear I expect to see only flashes very briefly in her eyes.Impressive.The way she easily pushes aside her emotions to remain mostly unreadable piques my interest in this little she wolf.“I guess I’ve been a bad girl.” She says suddenly in a sultry tone.Something in the way her eyes flicker daringly has my cock hardening instantly in my pants and arousal surges within my blood.I’m torn between pushing her against the wall and choking her hard for having so much audacity to talk back at me, or taking her like the filthy girl she wanted to be.I look down at the lips of this vixen.“So, you want to be punished… that’s why you’re here?”“Maybe.”She’s toying with me, playing games with the devil. She’s getting on my nerves even more.Disrespectful and impudent.She needs more than a punishment to put her in check. Perhaps whipped publicly or placed in confinement for a week.Yet, all I can think of is punishing those filthy lips that dared tempt me when they belong solely to me and exist for my own pleasure.I have nothing else to do, might as well take her for myself.I lean down against her, taking what is mine.I take them forcefully, biting and sucking, pushing her dirty tongue that had dared to speak in my presence, these lips that had aided them.I take everything forcefully, reaching out and grabbing her thin neck that I could snap like a twig without a second’s thought.I pin her against the wall, lifting up the lower part of her dress, revealing her bare naked ass, and I growl like a feral beast.Even her ass mocks me.I pull out my member and pummel into her despite her reluctance, taking her forcefully against the wall.The warm heat of her wet core sucks me instantly, gripping onto me like a vice.The instant pleasure shooting up my dick takes me off guard quickly and forces me to thrust forward uncontrollably while her moans fill the air.I thrust mindlessly, seeking my own pleasure before an orgasm rips through her and she vibrates beneath me, falling apart instantly.It’s only then that my sense falls back into me and I’ve realized what I’ve done.Let myself lose in the face of pleasure, letting said pleasure take away my sane thoughts, letting it have power over me when I should be the one in control…I pull out of her quickly at the thought of anything having power over me, tucking in my pants.“Get out.” I say.The bitch is still confused and reluctant. I’m in no mood to tolerate her defiance anymore.“I didn’t know I bought a half deaf whore. I said, get out!” I growl louder, so my voice thunders against the walls echoing around us.She shivers momentarily, dashing out the door without wasting another moment.When she’s gone, set in a fit of rage, I pick up my desk, setting the pile of files on my table all over the floor and throwing my table across the room.It’s not enough; my anger is far from being satiated.I want to smash something more, feel her beg for mercy while she quivers beneath me.The door suddenly pulling open quickly distracts me from my anger just as my Beta walks in.He pauses at the sight of everything… the broken piece of furniture on the floor.“Uhm… did I walk in on something just now?” He asks playfully as always with that obnoxious light tone in his voice.I groan, turning back to him with a glare, not in the mood for his shenanigans.“Something that’s none of your business.” I growl at him, barely holding my anger.If it had been anyone else, I would have their heads for simply being too nosy.“It would be hard to keep my nose out of this, not after a maid just ran out of this room that smells like… sex?” He prods further, like the annoying bastard he is.There’s this sudden spur of a migraine quickly settling in.“That wasn’t a maid. Which reminds me; lock up every guard standing outside my door. If they can’t spot an imposter posing as a maid, they’re as good as useless.”“Wait… if she wasn’t a maid… and you just…”“She’s the girl from the auction.” I point out dryly.His eyes widens briefly, quickly realizing what I had meant. He had been by my side that night when she had walked onto the stage, mesmerizing half of the crowd instantly.Being there last night had been purely for entertainment and nothing more. Neither he nor I had expected that anything would grab my attention.“I see… From the looks of it, she wasn’t that good for you to be so provoked to the point of ruining your office.”I groan, rubbing my temples now, knowing in the pit of my gut that it’s something far from that but choosing to say nothing more on the topic, for my sanity.“Stop talking, Ivan, and call in Yvonne.” I say coldly, far from being in the mood for his teasing.He makes the move to say something more but I pass him a cold stare that shuts him off.He then bows his head simply.“Yes, Alpha.”***LILITH’S POVI run out of the room just as the large crashing sound echoes from his office, dashing past his guards successfully before they figure me out. I run through the memorized hallways until I’m right in front of my room.I pull the double doors apart and rush in, slamming the doors shut.What the actual fuck?I knew he was crazy… but not that crazy.Everything was going as planned with minor hookups in the way, finally giving way for my plans, right until his sudden mood swing.After taking me so vigorously…I touch the tip of my lower lips, still feeling the shadow of his lips brushing fiercely against mine… losing my thought process into just how good it had felt. I catch myself shaking my head.So, what if he had been good, and a little too rough? I shouldn’t be focusing on any of that even though I hadn’t expected most of it.I rarely slept with my targets. Most of them only needed a few belly rubs and praises before they start squealing, but Kain proved to be a different breed.Stubborn, yes, but surely not untamable.I realize finally that this might not be as quick as a mission as I had hoped.I felt it in the way he gripped me and tossed me around. ‘We liked it’, my wolf grumbles within me.Now, I have to fall back on plan B.If getting info from the Alpha himself proved to be an issue, then I would simply find another way around it.The best possible way to get a glimpse at their weaknesses is through pack gossip, and the best source of said pack gossip is by getting out there myself and mingling with them.With a now strengthened resolve, I change into something else… a black crop top and jeans with black boots.I step out of my room, taking a good look around the hall way for anyone that could spot me and report my whereabouts to anyone.Once the coast is clear, I step out, maneuvering my way through the hall way towards what I think could be the exit based on a bit of info I’ve successfully picked here and there.The last thing I need is anyone finding out where I’m going to.I manage to successfully maneuver my way pass the guards and maids I come across till I successfully find an exit point and escape right through it unnoticed.After minutes of walking, I finally come across the various pack buildings with almost every house looking exactly like the other in an almost too organized system.The neighborhood seems exceptionally friendly with a few passersby greeting the other with warm smiles and gentle hugs, others going about their usual business.The perfect environment to integrate myself into and retrieve information, but once the first few eyes turn my direction, cheerful smiles morph into cold heartless stares.The air quickly shifts into clear hostility staring back at me with looks similar to the ones I had been used to all my life.LILITH’ POVThe hard cold stares are even much worse than it had been at my pack, and I walk past every single one of them, wondering why and yet keeping my distance.How exactly am I going to integrate into this system when no one wants to talk to me? There’s no chance of getting a good whiff of even a bit of gossip from anyone.I haven’t met a single soul here that isn’t hostile towards me, all taking after their psycho Alpha. I walk past a couple practically glaring bitterly at me.“Xenos bitch.” He growls ferally.It takes everything in me not to turn right back and go full wolf out on his ass, but I don’t.Years of tolerance helps me quell my blood thirsty burst of anger from the demeaning comment. He isn’t worth it, Lilith.Instead, I smile at the fucker, waving back at him and watching him flinch back like he suddenly has a stroke.Acting unaffected is the best way possible to deal with assholes, and my wolf nods in agreement. I walk a bit more, hoping to find something, per
LILITH’S POV: Alpha Kain Gerard is just as the rumors say, even worse.His cold dead cruel eyes stared down at me as though my worth was nothing more than a piece of copper he could easily crush between his fists.Those eyes are the last thing staring back at me as I’m being dragged very disgracefully back to my room and tossed in like a rag doll.Once the doors are shut, the next sound that follows is the door being bolted together, sealing me in.Shit.My pride is wounded with nothing worthwhile to show for it, while that pretentious narcisstic prick entertains himself at my own expense.What I would give to smack that look off his fucking face.I sigh, falling back onto the soft covers of my bed, feeling heavily exhausted.Now that the adrenaline rush is gone, I can feel the blood pumping in my head, followed by the mindshattering headache seeking to ruin my mind.The pain of the bruise is more evident than ever.Damn those little rats that should never have been let out of their
LILITH’S POVI pass Ariel a constricted nervous smile before following Ivan out.He occupies the next high role after Alpha Kain and a potential source of information, that is if I ever get on his good side.He seems like the smart type that easily sees right through any possible façade I could whip up.Having him as a target is a potential risk, seeing as he could figure me out in seconds, yet I don’t completely scratch him off my list.“A piece of advice I’m sure you’ve heard more than a couple of times since coming here; if you want to keep that pretty head of yours on, it’d be best to hold your tongue and follow every single thing Alpha says.” Ivan says indifferently.Not necessarily wicked, yet not caring if I drop dead right this second.“You think I’m pretty?” I say, teasing instead of giving a serious response.He stares right back at me blankly, coming to a sudden halt in front of the wide double doors of Alpha Kain’s office and pushing the doors open.I pass one last sweet s
LILITH’S POV:Sleeping in a cell is a very uncomfortable experience.From the chilling draft coming from only goddess knows, to the cold hard wet floors, the leaking ceiling and the roaches and rodents that casually pass by me; every bit of it is horrible.I’m used to adapting to the worst of situations due to the nature of my job, but I never appreciated moments like this. I could, however, live with them, knowing my plans were falling into place.In this situation, however, with my plans all ruined, none of this is worth anything.I’m cranky as hell and the sound of the gates leading to this dungeon wing being pulled open echoes down the hall to my cell room and has me waking up with annoyance.I really want to scream their ears off until I see who it is. I first notice the very familiar annoying snicker from the entitled bitch herself, Yvonne.“Well, well, well…” she begins like every evil villain does, having had an upper hand on their victims.“If it isn’t the new slut Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POV:His hand suddenly rips through his chest, pulling a pumping heart that beats for 5 seconds before stopping; the same amount of time it takes for his lifeless body to hang over me before he finally drops onto the floor.The guard moves away from my vision and the real perpetrator stands over me, holding the dead heart in his hands, staring at the amount of blood dripping down his fingers like it’s nothing.He tosses the heart aside like trash, turning to the other person right behind him, Ivan“Gouge out his eyes and put it on the display for disrespectful members of my guards to see and remember to keep their personal desires in check.”“Yes, Alpha.” Ivan says right before he pulls out a small dagger and leaves my field of vision.I’m gasping for air now, still falling into unconsciousness when he finally looks down at my limp body with an emotionless gaze. He stares at my almost naked chest just before he takes off the jacket hanging over his shoulders and drops it ov
LILITH’S POV:Alpha fucking Kain Gerard, the most unreadable bastard I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.Everything about him annoys the hell out of me.From his hellish attitude and the obnoxious gaze he passes on every one, like they are simply his underlings placed in this world to do just his bidding.Then, there’s the annoying yet drop dead gorgeous face of his that drives me completely mad.How anyone can be so unreasonable and cold, I will never know.I groan heavily, now shifting away from Ariel that sits behind me, gently applying a soothing balm to my now healing bruises.“I’m sorry to bother you, but can you say still for a moment?” She says with her timid voice, trying her best not to show her annoyance.I sigh.“Sorry, these past few days just haven’t been the best.” I say.Having fully given up on the ‘using the Alpha to succeed in my mission’ route, I have to spend much more time gathering enough information I can from other members of his court and his people a
LILITH’S POV“What the fuck are you doing here?”I unconsciously flinch at the sound of his voice raised at me, suddenly unable to look up into his eyes.Where had this all gone wrong?The plan had been almost perfect, in and out with no detection and yet, the Alpha just had to show up from nowhere. I wasn’t even able to detect his presence.Just what breed of wolf is this bastard?“I can explain.” I start, stalling to think up something.“You better start talking now before I really lose my temper and lock you up somewhere you’d never see the rays of the sun ever again.” He warns while lowering his voice.I gulp, taking a step away from his threatening aura that’s suddenly choking me.“Well… well, I was just trying to—”I stop mid-sentence just when rustling in the hedges around us becomes evident, drawing my attention away from the Alpha only momentarily.From the corner of my eyes, I see a reflection of light from something metallic. Before I can put everything together, Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POVDespite his cold and uncaring exterior, his lips are soft and warm against mine and unlike the first kiss we had shared that had been hard and demanding, this is the complete opposite.He presses gently against mine, showing just as much need as before but with a softness to it, switching off all logical thoughts hanging in my brain in the process.I let him into my mouth while he takes the opportunity to quickly suckle on my tongue now.With the strength I had no idea he still had, he lifts me up my butt while still sitting up in bed, dropping me right on his lap.And immediately, I feel his hard rod right underneath me, poking at my unclothed core through the thick blanket.An unconscious moan passes through my lips before I can stop myself.His hands slide up my thighs beneath the large shirt hanging over my naked body, feeling up my curves, squeezing my ass in the process.I bit hard on my lower lip to stop the moan from escaping but he forces his tongue deeper in my
Kain’s POV2 YEARS LATER…A lot has happened over the years, I’ve lost some gained some; most of it changed my life completely in ways I never knew I need.Now standing over the grave of a child that never got the chance to see the light of day I mourn it as I’ve always does, though I never got the chance to meet him for the split moment I knew of its existence where one of the best moments in my life.Even while everything around us burned and we were bruised the news of his arrival brought a smile to her lips like nothing else could.And though it’s taken more than a few years to get over our loss, we’re still taking small steps to get there.I drop a flower over the small grave.To little sesame, the name Lilith calls it, because it didn’t grow old enough to have a gender.A child’s laughter echoes from behind me while a little girl turns out of her hiding spot rushing for me.Her little feet don’t take her too far before she stumbles and falls face flat on the ground and burst int
Jonah’s POV5 YEARS LATER…Hiding behind the pillar beautifully decorated with flowers by the fountain I stay hushed, pursing my lips together while still covering them with both my hands to stay hidden.I do this all the time and still she still seems to always easily find me when we play this insufferable game.Hide and go seek.An hour at it and she still hasn’t found me yet, which is the longest times he’s taken to find me.Which lead me to think that maybe, just maybe I’m the only one playing this damn game.The thought of just giving up seeps into my mind until I hear footsteps approaching from ahead and stay quiet again.The gentle sound of feet slowly approaching lets me know it’s a she-wolf. Months of training from Beta Ivan comes I perfectly handy in moments like this.Hopefully in a few more years I’ll be able to join brother-in law’s guard, that is if he will let me. My sister’s hold over him has dictated far too much in my life.It’s been years since I’ve fallen ill and n
Kain’s POVI’ve finally found her, my mate but the sight of her sets off every bit of my anger I’ve been trying to put on check.Her face bruised and her clothes ripped to the point that she’s almost left bare and naked. Nothing matters anymore. My rage takes over me and all sane thoughts dissipate.I look at the fool I had tossed across the room desiring nothing more than to tear him apart into pieces of flesh lying around and feeding it to the dogs.“You bastard.” I seethe, seeing nothing more than red.I shift into my wolf in the next second lunging at him without restrictions.Or every scar on her skin I add five more on his, every bruise on her body five bones crack under the force of my attacks.I slash at him continuously with my claws while he screams in agony just barely managing to change into his wolf to have even a fighting chance but that changes nothing.He had a death wish the moment he decided to mess with my woman.He tries to attack back but it’s a puny attempt from
Kain’s POV“Riverstone pack has looked down on us for the final time. They have injured our beta and gone as far as kidnapping the Luna and we will not be silent anymore, will not seat idly and take any more of their insults. Whoever dares cross our paths to victory or slanders our name will incur the wrath of Deathstone!” I yell out to the group of men before me, my army set and ready to be thrown into a fully fledge battle, waiting just at the borders of Arden’s pack.He has bitten more than he can chew this time angering not just me but everyone else and sadly for him the only leverage he has over me is gone.“Yes alpha!” they response is thunderous and echoes loudly.“Today we walk into battle but this time to finish what we started and make our enemies beg for mercy that will not be given, for our fallen brothers and for our own legacy to go down in time as the gretats pack in all Wolfdom!” Ivan steps up yelling as well.He leans against a cane to help him stand and walk with his
The sound of the loud slap takes me by surprise and the fact that it isn’t me this time.Arden strikes his accomplice across the face in a split second, in the exact moment the announcement rolls off her lips.She falls unto the ground clutching her cheek and looking up at Arden with utmost surprise equally not expecting such an actionBut he stares back at her fuming, if steam could puff out of a person’s ears no would be the perfect time for that.He visibly trembles from the emotions moving around inside him, but none of that is any of my concern at the momentThe news takes me off guard, it isn’t even the last thing I was expecting because the thought has never crossed my mind before.“I’m pregnant?” I mutter under my breath stuck in a daze.My hand falls down to my belly that I thought was bloated due to an illness.Inside me right now is a tiny person, a little version of a mix of Kain and me in one person?How could it be?Could it possibly be a mistake somewhere, maybe she had
Lilith’s POV“Get away from me, you pervert!” I kick and scream at him desperately trying to keep more distance between me and this psychopath that’s too sick to realize just how much he’s lost his mind.All those years he had called me ‘Lili’ so fondly I begin to wonder if it had been me his eyes stared at with so much care of someone else.If the nickname little rose had been because my mother’s favorite flower was a rose.All those times she had just a passing thought of how weirdly interested in her was just in fact her instincts screaming at her to keep distance away from him, warning her that he would ruin her completely.“Get away!”Kain! Kain please help.I cry continuously begging him not to come even closer while silently praying Kain can hear me where ever he is.Arden’s rage returns again and he smacks me the other way trying to shut me up and he doesn’t stop with his assault attacking over and over again trying to get me to shut up.“You should love me and not tell me to
Kain’s POVEvery time I close my eyes it starts out with a nightmare where I lose my love, Lilith.This time she falls over a high tower and I’m running to catch her but the floors turn into quick sand that sinks beneath me and I can’t reach her before I’m thrown out of my own dream.I wake up jump right up drench in my own sweat and with my drawn out wolf claws ripping into both sides of the bed.It takes a second for the new reality to sink in and I can calm myself again.The two day mark has already been reached, she should be back soon but something feels deathly wrong.The bond feels already weak from the large distance between us and even then I can feel bits of her own despair seeping through my own end.I can’t help but be on edge and paranoid constantly.Was she not successful in saving her brother?Whatever the reason of her sadness maybe, I will fix it when she gets back, all that matters is that she returns to me safe and sound without a single scar on her bodyI will rage
For some reason his words make me feel dizzy.The room spins and swirls around me like a dull illusion manufactured to twist my mind and unravel it.I’m lost in a hazy dream that I might forget all about the second I open my eyes again, but the dream has morphs into a never ending nightmare that feels way too real and taunts me.Hot tears prickle my eyes painful while I stare back at the mad man in front of me in horrified shock that steals my ability to even speak, or utter a sound and yet he’s smiling.Somehow he’s smiling in the middle of all this, in the middle of confessing his part in my parent’s death.I shake my head slowly choosing to doubt this reality that plays tricks on me.“No…” I whisper under my breath, denying it.“Yes.” He responds nodding his head firmly with a wide grin.“No!” I scream out suddenly feeling my entire reality crumble. “You’re lying. You’re saying that just to mess with me. You know that if that’s true that I’ll… that I’ll—“”“That you’ll never forgiv
My consciousness seeps into my body for the third time, I think in one night.This time my eyes don’t open at will though.My body feels too heavy, like logs are resting over each limb, and if they aren’t neither of them respond to the signals I tell them but I’m awake just unable to control my body.From whatever paralysis I’m having I can hear mumbling in the background that lets me know that I’m not alone.A female giggling from something.Must be that bitch and then a new voice, deeper and bolder.Finally my eyes open but very slowly and takes way too much from me causing me to groan from exhaustion.I can make out two figures that remain blurred from in vision while I try so desperately to look at them.“Ah, she’s awake.” The male voice speaks.I recognize his voice s Arden’s immediately.Rage feels me in the next second followed by the desire to fight back but I’m still paralyzed.Footsteps drawn closer and I’m lifted up from lying on the cold floor and put in a seating position
