AnastasiaAfter throwing myself into Caius’s arms and kissing him until my head spun and the room around me faded into inky darkness, I clung to the arm of my fiancé—take that Jayden fucking Warner—and allowed him to escort me into the ballroom.A light string of classical music filled the air as we
Caius didn’t appear affected by her strange scent. If he was, he hid it extraordinarily well. His face was a mask of neutrality, his eyes flat and devoid of emotion. They warmed as they flitted down to my face.“Give your thanks to my fiancé. She and the event planner are responsible for tonight.” I
AnastasiaIn my quest to locate a glass of 1986 Chateau Lafite I ended up stumbling into a private conversation held between Alpha Nox, Luna Lilac, and their guests. I smiled warmly at Jada, Brick, and Shayla, thanking the Goddess there were a few friendly faces here tonight.My father had never spo
“Does Caius know about this?”“He’s aware, but we’ll let him know about this latest development before the night is through,” Luna Lilac brushed the issue aside. Suddenly, she grabbed hold of my hands. “I can’t tell you how happy I am to have met you, Anastasia. I can tell you’re a good person, whic
Anastasia“As satisfying as it was, you have no clue what you’ve gotten yourself into.”I tipped my head to the side and took a moment to drink him in. The all-black tux he wore reminded me of the shadows in the forest the night he chased me down. The night I felt every hard inch of him pressed agai
I wrinkled my nose, ignoring the hint of warmth that came at the mere thought of being hunted down by Caius. “How predictably barbaric.”His lips twitched as if he were fighting a smile, though it was quickly eclipsed by his usual scowl.“Anything goes during the Hunt.”“Anything as in murder?” I t
AnastasiaI began to walk around its perimeter, pacing back and forth as I allowed my thoughts to claim me. Sleeping with Alpha Caius wasn’t what filled me with such trepidation when it came to this stupid event. Of course I was nervous over that fact. I mean, what if he didn’t want me back? What if
It wasn’t until the bitter sting of cold water assaulted me, dragging me deep down into its depths that I was freed from the strange spell her scent had placed over me.It was then I remembered I didn’t know how to swim.“KICK! Kick, Anastasia!” My own internal screaming eclipsed Ziva’s frantic com
On Sunday I came down to breakfast wearing a silk pajama set. It was a deep red, like the color of spilled wine, and matched my freshly painted toes. I yawned and waved at everyone as I headed over to the breakfast table.There was a platter of various omelets surrounded by smaller plates full of fr
AnastasiaI crawled back into bed feeling both disturbed and oddly satisfied. Obviously watching Knight violate my husband’s pillow was not the satisfying part, but I could handle it because it meant I got my revenge for the hair dye fiasco.At least he waited until after the wedding…Curling up ben
Knight grumbled something under his breath and clung to the pillow a bit tighter. I turned away with a laugh. Evangline really would send Peter here if I didn’t say something. It was tempting, though. Caius would be pissed if he woke up on some deserted island.“Very badass, but I have to decline. I
Evangeline liked to claim she was only attracted to women, but that was a lie. She was just incredibly picky when it came to men. It was on her eighteenth birthday that she told me she’d never even dated one before. Wasn’t surprising though given her mother.Point was, she could deny it all she want
AnastasiaI’m not a paranoid person.Seriously, I’m not.Even after spending years on the run from a rich asshole I had managed to keep my head and remain calm. I quickly learned to listen to my surroundings and watch out for signs. If I panicked or gave into the feeling that someone was watching ov
“How does playing double agent feel?” I asked the two of them after recounting the way we saved the civilians. They must have sensed the secrecy behind it all because they didn’t ask how we had enough time to rescue everyone.Alpha Nox’s shoulders trembled as he exhaled. It wasn’t everyday an Alpha
CaiusDamon and Knight were both already in the room when I entered.Knight was passed out on my favorite leather sofa. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and was covered in vibrant red kiss marks. The beast within me quickly checked them to make sure they weren’t Anastasia’s, which was insane considering I’
Her movements were slow, but faster than they were when she was lost within sleep. Little tremors went down her legs as my breath fanned across her clit.“Caius, is that you?” Sleep clouded her voice, and I quickly found my aching cock liked the sound.I kept my fingers still, not daring to move the
CaiusI was not going to fuck my sleeping wife.Not yet.The first time I decided to take her, and subsequently ruin her for all other men, I needed her to be awake. I would hunt her down, bend her to my will, and fuck the fight right out of her. I would both punish and praise her for being the cent
