Rushing back into the cabin, Rosette dried off with a clean blanket she retrieved from the bedroom. Surveying the room, she discovered a fragile dress in the closet, its fabric on the verge of disintegration under her touch. In the dresser, she found several sets of newer men's undershirts and boxers that smelled fresh, prompting her to change into them.Returning to the kitchen, Rosette absently stirred the pot by the fire with the large hunting knife, unsure of what culinary actions were required. Gradually, her shivering subsided, allowing her to reflect on the events of the past twenty-four hours, seeking a semblance of normalcy.Contemplating her situation, Rosette pondered the reason for her presence. Kyle Luther was evidently not the instigator, as Roel had confirmed. A profound sadness enveloped her at the thought of never seeing Kyle again.As dusk descended, a faint memory surfaced from her ordeal in the van. Recalling a whispered conversation, Rosette strained to recollect
Kyle finally returned, exchanging nods with Ethan. Ethan bowed his head to Kyle and left the cabin.Kyle picked up Rosette and guided her outside. They headed towards a series of dark-tinted Suburbans that now filled the entire front yard of the cabin.Kyle settled Rosette into the back of one of the vehicles and then disappeared briefly. Rosette recognized his driver from her previous encounter and managed a smile at him. When Kyle rejoined her, he pulled her onto his lap. Rosette wrapped both arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder."What did you do with Roel?" Rosette asked him. She felt protective of the eccentric giant. Without him, the kidnappers might have subjected her to terrible things."We had to restrain him, and he's coming back with us," Kyle sighed.Looking up into Kyle's eyes, Rosette saw the conflict within him."Look, I get this is probably a big secret, but I saw those creatures that brought me here. I saw Roel change in front of me. I know you are
"Love, wake up, we're home. Open your eyes," Kyle's voice reached her, bringing a sense of calm amidst her turmoil"Sir, the pack is assembled as you requested, several are unaccounted for as you suspected. What would you like us to do?" inquired a man with a clipboard as he approached them.He seemed unperturbed by Kyle carrying a disheveled woman clad in men's attire. Rosette felt a twinge of discomfort and instinctively raised her hand to smooth her hair."Rosette, I have some pack business to attend to. This is the den, our home," Kyle gestured towards the imposing structure nearby. "Ethan will escort you to my quarters. You may freshen up with a shower if you wish; clothing and food will be provided. However, for the time being, you are to remain in my quarters and not accompany anyone other than Ethan or myself."Setting her down, Kyle gently lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you understand me?"Numbly nodding, Rosette tried to orient herself. The unfamiliar surroundings in t
When Rosette woke up several hours later, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the room. She found herself in a comfortable position, wrapped around a solid, comforting presence. It was a feeling of relaxation she had never experienced before. Stretching her arm out, she let out a hiss of surprise."Why didn't you ask Ethan to remove these last night?" Kyle's voice rumbled from his chest as he observed the handcuff on Rosette's wrist. Shirtless and looking striking, Kyle's gaze met Rosette's sleepy eyes. She had unknowingly entwined herself around his side, their legs intertwined."I was exhausted," Rosette yawned, stretching against Kyle. The movement inadvertently brushed against his hip, prompting her to repeat the action. She shyly hoped he hadn't noticed her subtle attempt, but she was mistaken.Suddenly, Rosette found herself on her back as Kyle nuzzled her neck, intertwining their fingers above her head. She felt the tantalizing friction of his body aga
The scent of Rosette's arousal lingered on Kyle's face, intensifying her desire. Unaccustomed to playing the seductress, she felt an urge to explore this newfound sensuality with Kyle. Meeting his gaze with a sultry expression, she sensed his hands drawing her closer, his lips descending towards hers."I may not be able to stop once we begin, my love," he whispered in her ear. "Are you prepared for this?"Nodding in affirmation, Rosette trailed her fingers down his chest, caressing his impressive length.With a groan, Kyle rolled her onto her back. "There are things I should disclose to you first," he mentioned, lowering his mouth to lavish attention on her nipples. Alternating between nipping and sucking on each, he elicited pleasurable sensations that rendered them exquisitely sensitive. Moaning softly, Rosette ran her fingers through his hair."You shouldn't rush into this, there's much at stake," Kyle continued, his fingers exploring her heat and moisture. As he delved into her wa
"Pardon the interruption, my Alpha. I heard the howl and thought it was a positive sign. One can never be too cautious these days," Ethan remarked.Kyle embraced Rosette, pressing a kiss to her head. "Indeed, old friend, it's a good omen. However, we'll need a key for these restraints," Kyle mentioned."Understood, boss. I'll return shortly," Ethan responded, closing the door behind him as he exited."I need to get dressed," Rosette expressed, attempting to move away but realizing she was unable to."We'll be connected like this for about an hour, love. No one will be released until then. Regarding your modesty, I'll try to honor your human upbringing, but customs differ here. Public displays of affection are common and even ceremonial," Kyle explained."Tied? What do you mean tied?" Rosette inquired, trying to grasp the information. As she reached to feel their joined bodies, she noted the thickness of Kyle's arousal, deeper than she had experienced before."It's called a knot; it se
"The women who are coming are wolves," Kyle interjected. "They need to sense my scent on you; it establishes respect. Currently, you hold no rank, placing you in a unique position, so to speak."Bending down to place a kiss on Rosette's head, he made his way out. Sitting on the bed, Rosette felt more than a little disgruntled, especially with the sudden realization of staying there."Hey, what about my job? Can I return to work on Monday?" she called out to him."No," he replied, walking into the hallway. Sensing her approach, he raised a hand to halt her, turning back. "Stay here; we will discuss this later."His demeanor left no room for argument. Despite his authoritative stance, Rosette couldn't resist confronting him. She stormed into the hall, raising her voice. The guards outside looked on with a mix of shock and amusement, while heads peeked out from neighboring rooms."No, I've worked hard for my job. You can't confine me here, reeking of sex, waiting for you! Just give me a
Sex was a topic embraced openly among the wolves, with a prevailing sense that they lived for it. Public sexual encounters, multiple partners before mating, and same-sex relationships were commonplace, even post-mating."The men sometimes aren't available," chuckled Katrina. "Although Sam prefers to join in. It defeats the purpose if I wait for him to be home and have a girlfriend over, you know?"Rosette attempted to nod sympathetically, although the concept was foreign to her."What about the men?" she inquired. "Do they engage in same-sex relationships?""It's not uncommon, but most men here prefer women," Shawna explained."Alpha Luther is very accepting of gay wolves," Katrina giggled. "So we have more diversity than most packs. He has welcomed several members who were shunned by other packs for being gay."Feeling a sense of pride in Kyle's progressive outlook, Rosette smiled, grateful for their shared values. Yet, a sudden realization dawned on her about her limited knowledge o
