KAEL.‘I want everyone to line up in front of the pack house immediately,’ I ordered all my pack members via the mindlink connected to the whole pack.Rage boiled like a cauldron, bubbling over with fury, threatening to spill and scorch everything in its path.I dipped the ends of the whip in silver, my jaw clenching as I inched towards Dawn. I didn’t wait to order her to lay on her back—I just swung the whip in the air, and it landed on her. Her cry rang out, sounding like music to my ears. I struck her again. And again. Until I lost count.Blood splattered across the ground, reeking of hatred and evil. Her words echoed in my head:“Your late father killed my dad and took over this pack from him.”No. My father didn’t. He was as good as they came. I knew his brother and his mate died in a plane crash, not—not what she claimed.I looked at the state she was in and nodded in satisfaction. I was going to eliminate them completely, but I wanted them to feel pain before they died—that was
RUBY. Right after training the following day, I walked back to the pack house to find Clinton in his office. He was going through some papers when I walked in.Once I shut the door behind me, I sauntered towards him and sat down on the empty seat available.His office was nice and well-decorated, but that wasn't what I was after this morning. I wanted to find out where the hell he was all through the previous day, why he didn't call me to tell me where he was, or why he didn't return my calls after he missed them.“Dear,” he looked up from the papers he was going through as his gaze landed on me.I crossed my arms, a frown on my face. “Where did you go yesterday?”“I had a meeting with the council of elders.” He dropped his hands on the desk, and I could see the tightness in his chin, which told me that whatever they discussed with him was something bad.“Is it something I can help you with?”When I was still with my biological father, I had worked with him regarding the affairs of t
“What gift do you plan on giving her?” I couldn't stop myself from growling. From the moment she told Ruby that she had a gift for her and that it would arrive in seven days, I knew she was up to something, and I needed to find out what it was. It didn't help that she was looking at my mate in that particular way while she said it.Mom faced me and shrugged. “Urgh, you are hurting my feelings. I have a gift for your mate. Isn't that what good mothers-in-law do for their daughters-in-law?”I knew she was lying. But the way she looked at me now somehow made me want to believe her.Could she be telling the truth, that it was only a gift and nothing more?I tugged on my hair and let out a puff through my lips.I didn't bother replying or saying another word to her as I left her room. I went to the sitting room, headed to the bar, and grabbed a bottle of beer.I walked to the window and watched the sky. My thoughts drifted back to last night when I was pleasuring my mate. I could tell she
RUBY.The day crawled by, every minute stretching longer than the last. I spent most of it locked away in the room, my mind tangled in thoughts of what Clinton was planning for me—for us.I could sense he was hiding something, but I wanted to trust him. I wanted to believe that if something was wrong, he'd tell me.I wished I was right.But it wasn’t just the secret Clinton was keeping that weighed on me. I was also hiding out to avoid running into his mother. Since that tense dinner on my first day here, I hadn’t seen her or heard a word about her.And if only things could stay that way.But I knew that was a wild wish.My lycan urged me to lure him into bed, and we both decided that this time, we would finally get laid. I couldn’t understand why he was taking so long to have sex with me.All my life, I had kept my body for the other half of my soul. But meeting Clinton changed my way of thinking, made me want to throw myself at him and forget all about my mate.And I also wanted to
My eyes widened in surprise as I took in where we were. A bubble of excitement raced through me, and I gasped.Cupping my hands over my mouth, I glanced at Clinton. “What?... You brought me here!”Without waiting for his response, I threw open the car door and jumped out, my heels clicking against the ground as I hurried toward the water. The sight of the hydro flying setup sent a rush of adrenaline through me. The sun sparkled off the surface of the water, and in the distance, I could see people soaring above the waves, propelled by powerful jets of water.The platform where we’d be starting was right by the shoreline. As I got closer, I could hear the roar of the jets that powered the flyboards. The scent of the salty sea air mixed with the sound of splashing water and laughter made everything feel surreal.Clinton caught up to me, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched my reaction. “I thought you’d like it,” he said, his voice full of warmth.“Like it? I love it!” I exclaimed, t
He opened the door and led me inside. But as I stepped into the room, my eyes widened in astonishment at the sight before me.Rose petals were sprinkled all over the floor, a delicate path of red leading to the bed. The bed, which I had neatly made before we left, was now transformed into a romantic display. Flowers were arranged in the shape of a heart, their soft fragrance filling the air. Candles flickered gently on the nightstands, casting a warm, golden glow around the room.I turned to Clinton, my heart swelling with emotion. “You did all this?”He smiled softly, his eyes reflecting the candlelight. “I wanted to make tonight special for you, for us.”I took a step closer to him, feeling a lump in my throat. “It’s beautiful, Clinton. I... I don’t know what to say.”He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a gentle embrace. “You don’t have to say anything. Just enjoy it.”I rested my head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. The warmth of his body, combin
CLINTON. Everything happened so fast after I brought Ruby home. I couldn't wait to see her expression when she saw the surprise I prepared for her. I knew she'd be very happy and grateful and I wasn't disappointed. While my Beta and I were away during the day, I was planning all these for her because I wanted tonight to be special. I had asked the store lady how to go about it and she was very pleased to let me in on things. After she briefed me on things, I had Beta Asher text her to let her know that I wanted her to be ready by 5pm and that she should wear something good. I would have suggested something sexy had it been I was the one sending her the text message. But like expected, my Beta teased me about it. He wanted to know whether he should tell her to wear something else but I glared at him until he laughed and waved me off. But I knew from the smirk on his face that he probably said something to her. I didn't comment on that. While Ruby and I kissed, I wanted to fuck her
RUBY. I was sleeping peacefully when I felt a cold sensation between my thighs. It slowly trailed down to my legs, icy and inviting.I opened my eyes to find my mate hovering over me with a bottle of yogurt in his hand, a playful smirk on his face as he poured more liquid. I gasped when I noticed I was naked before him, and the cool yogurt coated my pussy.He met my gaze, pulling his lower lip into his mouth as his free hand cupped my pussy lips.“Hmmm,” I moaned, my eyes closing on their own as I basked in the pleasure.“Do you love it?” he asked.I nodded without opening my eyes. It was thrilling, and I wanted him to do this all day.“Then open your eyes and look at me. You’ll love my next move,” he ordered hoarsely, his voice filled with promise.I opened my eyes and grinned when I saw that his wolf, Kai, had taken over. His eyes weren't black like before; instead, I could see Kai watching me with equal desire and lust.Oh goddess, is it possible to be in love with Kai as well?“S
