This was his sister Mavy. I’ve heard stories about her, but we’d never had the chance to meet. She stayed at home and when he wasn’t working he was either with me or with her. I’ve always wanted to meet her. This wasn’t what I expected. “You don’t belong here. Why are you here?” She hissed. “I came for Shane. I need to—” “I don’t care what you need to do. Don’t you know you’re putting him at risk by being here? You could have been seen! I knew the moment I saw you who you were and your connection to my brother. You’re the reason he’s been gone every night, aren’t you?” I don’t deny it. I nod. “Have you no shame? You’ve come here to find him in broad daylight!” She screamed. “It’s only a matter of time before someone goes and fetches a Delta!” “I had no choice. I needed to warn him,” I pleaded. “Warn him of what? Whatever it is couldn’t have warranted you putting your relationship to the entire pack!” Her eyes widened and for a second there was fear in her eyes for her brother.
“Wait.”Shane’s voice was firm and strong, it was everything I needed right now. He grabbed my arm and walked through the house. His sister yelled at us as he pulled me along, but he didn’t pay her any mind. I did the same, I didn’t look at her. I’ve never been in his house. He pulled me through a door and I realized we were in his room. It was barren except for a bed in the corner and a small table by the window.“Why are you here, Adea You can’t be here. It’s too dangerous. What if someone saw you? Did someone see you?” Shane asked.“Other than a few people outside, no one saw me.”“Okay, I’ll make sure to talk to them.”“Why did you come here?” Shane asked again.“You were seen leaving this morning.”“So you came here? Goddess, Adea. Are you okay?”“Yes, now that I think about it, it wasn’t the smartest move. I’m okay. They didn’t see you coming down the wall but my sister is suspicious. They only saw you running into the field.”“But we were close to getting caught,” Shane said.“
ShaneShe was the picture of perfection like this. I just claimed her body and soul last night, but I couldn’t hold back. I knew it would hurt her, but the sparks between us threatened to burn down the world if I didn’t have her again. The way she stared up at me as if she couldn’t live without me. The need in her eyes matched my own and it soothed something dark and cold in my tortured soul. When she said she was afraid she wouldn’t see me, I realized she was still thinking about leaving. She had accepted her fate and wasn’t even considering fighting. If I was smart I would leave now and reclaim my title, but it was so hard to leave her. It was too dangerous for me to take her with me. I was confident I would win, but the thought of losing and leaving her there defenseless wasn’t a risk I was willing to take. She whimpered and stole my attention again.“Goddess. You look beautiful when you’re like this,” I say in awe.I pull my pants down below my backside. My cock is so hard I feel
Adea All of the guards are gone. Everyone must have been sent to the slave quarters. I run down the hallway and up the stairs. I throw my door open and when I get in I slam the door shut and lock it. Where was I? I don’t know. I’ll stick with a walk. That’s all I can think of. When I turn around, I freeze. Sitting on my bed is Ava. She stares at me as if she knows she’s won but I won’t be admitting to anything. “Where have you been?” Ava asked. “For a walk.” “Your clothes are scratched up. Have you been running?” Ava asked. “No, I fell. I’ve become clumsy.” “You’ve never been clumsy, sister,” Ava murmured as she gets to her feet. “I need you to leave. I’m not feeling well.” “That won’t work with me either sister. I see right through your lies. You see, you were supposed to be in your room, and you weren’t.” “I told you I took a walk. I don’t need your permission for a walk. I needed some air.” “From the color in your cheeks sister, I think you got some.” I swallow. “Why are
ShaneLess than an hour ago, I took Adea in my room and watched her escape to safety. The whip came down on my back. Skin split, flesh cried out, and blood oozed down my back. The warrior holding the whip recited the same question he had been since we walked into the packhouse. My fingers gripped my thighs tightly as the whip came down on my back again. I won’t submit and I won’t out Adea. I’ll keep my mouth nice and shut until the time is right. And right now? The time is not right.The warrior takes a break from my back as Alphonse steps in front of the bastard next to me. He’s got an attitude and he’s bleeding from his head. I recognize him as Paul, I didn’t see him often, but he was assigned to clean up. He came in after events from dinner to parties and got rid of the mess.He takes a break from my back as Alphonse steps in front of the bastard next to me. He’s hunched over but as he locks on Beta’s shoes in front of him he straightens his back. He holds Beta’s gaze which in this
Adea I sit at the vanity but time stands still. It feels like it’s been hours but I know, it can’t have been more than twenty minutes that I’ve been up. When I’m ready, I unbolt the lock and pull open the door. Standing outside my door is Ava. “Perfect timing. Father sent me, he wants a word.” I don’t say anything. It isn’t strange for him to call for us. Something has either happened or there is something we need to prepare for. She turns on her heel and I follow her down the hall before we turn for the stairs. We walk in silence and normally that would be fine, but Ava’s behavior is making me nervous. When she turns for the dining hall, I know something is up. “Didn’t you say father wanted me? Why are we going to the dining hall and not his office?” I asked. “Because we have guests and he’s… entertaining them in the dining hall,” Ava said. She doesn’t continue on and she doesn’t try to ease my fears, not that she made a habit of that. I fight the urge to fidget as we walk throug
The slow walk up the stairs was excruciating as I fought the urge to run. I didn’t want to alert my sister or cause suspicion. I didn’t utter a word and neither did she. The conversation with Father hung in the air between us. Would Shane hate me as much as I hate myself for what’s happened to him? I didn’t deserve to, but I wanted nothing more than to see him, feel him, kiss, and hold him. I couldn’t pay any attention to him downstairs and it gutted me. It took everything to resist running to him, checking if he was okay, and wrapping my arms around him. Doing so would have signed his death warrant.Father wanted to see if I’d have a reaction to any of them. He wanted to see if I would give away any hint of emotion to try and weed out if there was any merit to the rumors. He wanted to know if the man I loved was among the men on their knees. I wouldn’t give it to him. I knew he would have killed them al
The voice on the other side of the door belonged to my father. What was I going to do? What could I do? Goddess. The body on the other side of the door slammed against the door. My bolt was holding strong but I knew it wouldn’t last for long. The sound quickened and I knew two people were taking turns throwing themselves against the door.“You can still get out,” I whispered. “Even if you had to climb down, they wouldn’t be able to get you! You’d be gone by the time they got down.”“They would be able to scent me and for all we know, they may already be set up downstairs,” Shane murmured. He took a step close and as much as I wanted to run, I stayed still. The tears streamed down my cheek, the sound of the door splintered, and Shane reached out to touch me. Sparks spread across my cheek as we made contact. I gasped as my eyes widened. Shane seemed unaffected as his thumb ran over my
