“Adea,” I growled.“Oh,” she moaned as she continued to roll her hips.“Fuck,” I groaned as I dropped my head back against the dirt. “Don’t.”Fuck. Don’t what? Don’t do that? Don’t keep going? Don’t stop? What was I saying? What was I trying to say? My lips parted as I watched the Goddess on top of me. Her tongue darted out and licked her bottom lip and I was done for. Her eyes were glazed as her hands touched my chest. She put her weight on my chest, her nails digging in, even through the clothes and I only got harder. I wouldn’t move, I wouldn’t do anything because if I did anything, I would be crossing the line. I couldn’t find it in me to tell her to stop now. I wanted this as much as she did. Hell, I wanted it more than she did. I wouldn’t stop her now but I would lay back and take what she gave me.Tomorrow, she might regret this and I couldn’t do that to her, not when she trusted me, not when she trusted me to keep her safe. I swallowed. I would keep her safe for as long as I c
“Where does that leave me, Adea?” I asked.“I trust you. I care for you as you care for me. You’re more than just a friend to me. You’re Shane. Since we met, we’ve always been together. You’ve always been there. I hate to admit it but I hate that I walked in on you with that girl tonight,” Adea said.“You were jealous?” I asked. My wolfish ears perked up at that.“Yes, dammit. I was jealous. I don’t want you with someone else. Not now. Not while you’re with me.”“Am I with you?” I asked.“You’re mine,” she said.The words were like a blow. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to hear from her lips. All I’ve ever wanted was to be hers. I knew that I was but hearing it, hearing it was everything I’ve ever wanted. Yes.“Say it again,” I demanded.“You’re mine,” she repeated. “And I’m yours. So, please—”She couldn’t finish her sentence because I pulled her into me. She crashed against my chest and I laughed. She fought against me but I only held tighter.“I’m yours.”“Yes, you big bad wolf. Now l
I climbed over her but froze on top of her. Looking down at her I couldn’t help but want her, to need her. I calmed myself and the voice whispered that she was ours. There was no need to rush, no need to do everything tonight. I had her, she was safe for a few more years. We would be okay, for now, we were okay. I stepped over her and lay by her side. My face near her bosom, I lifted my chin to look up at her. My arm slung over her belly. This was it. I’d gotten it, I’d gotten her. I swallowed as I thought about me two years ago. I didn’t know what I wanted. I thought I was okay by myself. I thought that a life of solitude was what I wanted. How wrong I had been. Everything changed after I saw her. My life, my world gravitated toward her. She sighed and my gaze traveled over her features for pain or distress. I was met with a smile as it pulled at the corner of her lip. Her eyes fluttered closed and she turned towards my warmth. I was met with her breasts as they pushed against my fac
She was a thick woman, her breasts always peeked out over the top of her dress and her hips were wide, almost as wide as the door. I once thought of her as a parent, but I quickly learned she wasn’t my friend. She wasn’t to be trusted. She acted nice to me but I knew it was all a ploy, a joke. She reported everything to my father. While I couldn’t blame her for protecting herself and valuing her life, it hurt knowing she disregarded me so easily. It was easier to see her as fake. She was a spy for my father and I knew better than to trust her. I knew better than to be fooled by her smiles and cheap compliments.“What’s on my list today?” I asked as I made my way over to the vanity. Taking a seat, I sat straight up and grabbed my brush. I stared into the mirror and ignored her while I brushed out my hair. I may not be a woman yet but my schedule always consisted of something. It varied too, I could be having brunch with the surrounding pack’s heirs, or I could be walking through the pa
“If you don’t believe me you can ask my nursemaid. She woke me up and brought me down here.”“Vanessa,” My father called. Vanessa walked in, her head bowed, as she stepped in front of the table.“Yes, Alpha?” She asked.“Is what she said true?” My father asked.“Yes, Alpha.”“Was there anyone in her room?” Ethan asked.Vanessa’s eyes widened and she looked at me and back to my father.“No, Alpha. I would have reported anything of that nature to you right away,” Vanessa answered nervously.“Did you check?” Ethan asked.“No, but—”“So you didn’t check. How would you know then?” Ethan asked.“I can go now. I was up there and her room is bare. There wasn’t anyone in there. Who are you suspecting of being in her room?” Vanessa asked and bowed her head.“A man,” Ethan growled.“My daughter is pure,” My father said.“How can I be so sure?” Ethan asked.A cold sweat broke out along my back. Goddess. I hated this. He couldn’t be serious. He was asking my father about my purity? The audacity as
“Do you feel this?” Ethan asked. A shiver went down my spine as his fingers slid back and forth ever so slightly. He was enjoying this. “This is what it fells like when I’m inside of you. I’m who you were made for and I look forward to the day I get to brand you as mine. Until then, I need you to know you are my bride, my mate, MY Luna, and you will birth MY heirs. YOU BELONG TO ME!” Ethan growled behind me. I was at his mercy. Tears fell down my cheeks as I was pinned powerless beneath him.“ANSWER ME!”“Yes,” I sobbed.“Say it,” he demanded. His fingers were still inside of me and I knew he wasn’t going to leave me alone until I did it, until I said what he wanted to hear. Until I gave him what he wanted.“Yes,” I cried. “I’m yours. I belong to you. I will be your mate, I am your mate, I will be your Luna, and I - I will birth your sons.”“Look who’s being so obedient?” Ethan asked. “Should I reward you?”“No, please,” I cried. “I’m not of age yet… please.”“I could take you, you kn
Was it Ethan?Had he come back?Did he change his mind?Did he want to take me and do what he said he wanted to do now?Had I lost my chance to avoid this?Would I fight?Could I fight?Or would that be a stupid move?No. I don’t care what would be smart or what would be stupid. I didn’t even care that my fighting would most likely be futile. I wasn’t just going to take it. I was going to be dragged off like a sheep to slaughter as Shane sometimes said.Shane.Just the thought of him caused tears to well in my eyes. I had forced myself not to think about him while Ethan was in the room with me but now that I was being dragged back, I couldn’t help it. I wanted him. I missed him. I wanted to be with him. Something flipped in my mind and I couldn’t help it. I was fighting and kicking though my screams were muffled. I bit, scratched, and elbowed my attacker. I grabbed and scraped at the walls as I was dragged back into oblivion. I wouldn’t be taken. I wouldn’t go down without a fight. No
He didn’t say anything but his hand patted the top of my head before he blinked and the glowing eyes were gone. Shane was back. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and I wrapped my arms around his waist.“I’m sorry,” Shane whispered. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there.”“You can’t protect me from him,” I said.“I protected you last night.”No, he didn’t. He only prolonged the inevitable.“You can’t protect me forever, Shane. Last night was amazing. I’m thankful for this time we have here together in the dark but I can’t stay. The longer we stay here, the higher the chances are that we will be caught. We need to leave.”I try to pull out of his embrace but he doesn’t let me go. If anything he holds me tighter, closer. His scent engulfs and warms me. I want to stay here, I want to get lost in the false sense of security I have here with him but I can’t. I won’t stay here, the longer I stay here, the harder it is for me to leave.“Shane,” I start.“Don’t. Not yet.”“Shane. I have to go.”“No, y
