Her fingers hovered above ‘post’ for the third night in a row. She didn’t think she’d ever make love again, but fucking—that was something she could do. John and she never fucked, never did anything 'kinky', but the sex was still great. It had been three years since the accident, and she hadn’t even dated, let alone been intimate with someone.
Fucking wasn't even the right term. She didn't know what the right term was to label the desires she was having. At the root of it all, she knew what she really ached for was to relinquish control, step back into her feminine and renew the connection to her own life.
The past year had been a struggle as her body had come back to life, and touching herself just wasn’t cutting it anymore.
The ad was a mashup of fantasies she’d entertained during lonely nights and a nostalgic nod to some of the wildest sessions she’d had in her 'single' years, now taken to a more intense level.
A voyeur at heart, she found solace in watching the sex-chat forums come alive late at night. There was a certain thrill in seeing new posts light up the screen, watching the views counter tick higher on the more provocative threads—digital people-watching had become her escape.
Would she respond to a DM? Maybe. Watching these type of chat forums had been the earliest experiences in her sexual awakening. It was back when the internet was new, and the only thing online worth exploring were those raw, unfiltered forums.
Her dad had even given her her first handle, OK4US2DO16—a joke he’d picked up at work, shared without a thought to what was age-appropriate. Her parents had always been oblivious to such things. Every now and then, she’d slip back into that old handle just to feel that familiar rush.
The fantasies she’d relied on for most of her life had lost their appeal since her. Her desires had taken a darker, more aggressive turn since the accident. Maybe it was her way of punishing herself for surviving when they hadn’t. Or maybe it was her way of living a new life, one that wasn’t suffocating under the weight of their loss.
And then, just like that, she was jolted back to reality by the ding of submission. A “Your Ad Has Been Posted” success message flashed on the screen. She’d hit submit without even realizing it. Anxiety surged, quickly replaced by fear—then relief—then excitement.
*** Lilliana POV
My lungs pull in air sharply at the sound of the submission ding. Did I really click that button absentmindedly while daydreaming?
Panic floods my system. How the fuck did I let that happen? “Chill,” I mutter, trying to talk myself down. You’re a 40-something woman; you’re allowed to do things like this… no one is going to judge you—because they’ll never know i think slyly
They’ll never know. The thought loops in my head, repeating until I mostly believe it. But hey, at least it’s done now. I could delete it, but why bother? Who will know? Besides, I’ll have some fresh fodder for the spank bank, watching my own view counts go up.
Hell, maybe someone will even save my ad and use it in their own spank bank. Fuck, I just posted a PSA!
Now, I’m actually proud of myself.

(NOW)*** AlphaWatcher's POV“Interesting…” The word slips out as I lean back in the chair. The screen light is soft. It throws shadows in the room, but I don’t mind them. I hadn’t expected much tonight. The forums are usually full of junk. Clickbait. Bad attempts at fishing for attention. But this one is different.The ad is plain. Direct. It has just enough in it to show the person knows what they want. Or thinks they do. Most posts are desperate. Or worse. Full of fantasies that don’t make sense. But this one is clear. Serious. Thoughtful.I’ve seen plenty of submissives at the gatherings. The parties where everyone knows the score. Where the lines between what’s real and what’s not blur just enough to make it good. Those are controlled. Planned. I like the chase. Breaking down walls. Pushing limits. But the classifieds? They’re just a way to relax. To see who thinks they can play in our world.This ad isn’t the usual. There’s something deeper in it. Experience, maybe. Or hunger, he
(NOW)*** AlphaWatcher's POVHe had arrived early too. He always did. It gave him time to think, to watch. There was a calm in it, a sense of control. He needed that. She arrived not long after, and he saw her right away. Most people got out of their cars quickly, eager to move, to get on with things. But she sat there, watching. She wasn’t in a rush. She was taking her time, feeling out the situation. He admired that. It showed she had the right mindset—cautious but curious.After a while, he circled the parking lot, moving a few spaces behind her. His vision was sharp, better than most. He got a good look at her. She was more attractive than he’d imagined. Fresh-faced, no makeup, no manufactured perfume. Just her. It was refreshing, real. There was something grounding about it.Her car was old, a simple Honda, but in perfect condition. It looked like it had been kept unused in a garage for years. He concluded it had. She was practical, not flashy. He liked that too. Flashy people we
(SIX WEEKS EARLIER)*** AlphaWatcher's POVAlphaWatcher sat in his study, the distant hum of the city filtering through the open window. The soft glow of the screen reflected off his face, illuminating the room with a faint, steady light. His fingers hovered above the keyboard, the weight of his next message heavy with significance. This wasn’t about dominance, at least not in the way most understood it. He was a Guide, and that distinction mattered, even if he did demand obedience.His mind was sharp, calculating. He hadn’t seen enough of Lilliana to fully understand her, but the way she’d approached writing that ad suggested she was new to this dynamic. There was potential there—potential that needed to be nurtured, not controlled.He typed the first message, his words deliberate.……… >> AlphaWatcher: “It’s important you understand the difference between what one might expect and what I offer. My role is to Guide you. You, as the Follower, will learn to trust in that guidance, to fi
(MORNING OF)*** Lilliana's POVLilliana’s day had begun with careful preparation. She’d started with the practicalities—reserving the suite online, ensuring all the details were in place. The hotel’s app made it easy. The QR code on her phone granted access to the VIP elevator and her suite, eliminating the need for a front desk encounter. It was discreet, efficient, and exactly what she needed.Her thoughts turned to the clothes she’d wear. AlphaWatcher had been specific: comfortable clothes that made her feel like herself. She’d felt a wave of relief at his words. Most of her wardrobe consisted of business attire—black suits, crisp white shirts, and undergarments that were more functional than comfortable. Not exactly what she wanted for tonight.She opened her closet, her fingers brushing past the tailored blouses and structured dresses until she found what she was looking for. A light cardigan, soft and worn-in, perfect for layering over a wide-strapped tank top. An ankle-length s
*** Lilliana's POVLilliana’s heart raced as she made her way to the door, bumping into a chair on her way, the dull thud momentarily breaking her stride. Her eyes burned slightly, but she paid no mind to it. She was on autopilot now, her body moving of its own accord. Eamon had groomed her well, and it was as if a switch had flipped in her mind. No reservations, no second thoughts. She trusted her instincts, and they told her to trust him.Reaching the door, she ignored the peephole, leaving the safety latch in place as she turned the handle. The door creaked open, and there he was, the charmer from the parking lot, with that above-average smile that now seemed so much more. He smelled incredible, a mix of something earthy and intoxicating that made her throat catch. For a brief moment, her inner monologue went silent, as if her thoughts themselves had stilled in his presence.“What took you so long,” he muttered, his voice soft but laced with something deeper, almost wistful. The wor
*** Third Person POVAfter seeing the majesty in her eyes, he wanted to confirm what she was, but there would be time for that later. It didn’t matter now, not tonight.Instead, Eaton presses Liliana against the wall, jacking her up high to straddle him in mid-air, slamming his mouth over hers.He let go of her mouth, moving his lips across her cheek and biting down on her ear, making his teeth slide against it as he pulled away. “Eamon,” She yelped his name but there was a husk to the cry that sounded like a plea for more. He pressed his cock hard against her pussy, wishing he could bury himself in her right then, but the denim held him back.He’d planned for tonight and laid the groundwork in his mind. He was ready to build trust over weeks, maybe months. But now, he knew they’d have forever.He didn’t want to wait to claim her. He wrestled with the urge to ask permission, but why bother? She was his mate. The Moon Goddess had decreed it. Rogue or not, the Moon Goddess had the final
*** Liliana's POVI melted back against Eamon, my fingers still laced behind his head. That tension was the only thing keeping me upright. His hand finally let go of my clit, which echoed with tremors as my walls spasmed around his cock. His fingertips glided up my sides, barely touching the skin, sending goosebumps across my flesh and hardening my nipples again. His breath was hot and ragged against the back of my head as his thrusting ceased.For a moment, I forgot where we were. The city skyline stretched out before us, fading into the darkness of the desert beyond. The last bit of sunlight slowly drowned behind the distant mountains. It looked like this moment felt—surreal. His large hands came up around me, caging my shoulders like a living harness. I started to unlink my fingers, thinking of separating us, when I felt his hot breath on my neck. I froze, unable—unwilling—to pull away. He used the vulnerable angle to pull me down harder into his lap grinding into me again; Eamon
*** Liliana's POV “With you, anywhere,” I manage, the words slipping out before I can think, honesty being my only option. I can feel a deep hum in the back of my mind telling me, It will always be our truth.My mind is nearly blank, stripped of everything but the truth in this moment. Somewhere, I’m vaguely aware that my body is trying to turn toward Eamon, but it’s not a conscious effort. Just the thought of moving makes me feel dizzy, like the ground is shifting beneath me.My eyes start to focus, and I realize the ground really has fallen away. Eamon has scooped me up, his strong arms cradling me as he carries me away from the patio. I feel weightless, as if I’m floating through clouds. The sensation is surreal, my body nestled against his as though I belong there. I try to take in my surroundings, but my focus is drawn entirely to him. His face, so close to mine, is the only thing I see. The intensity in his eyes as he looks down at me, like he’s looking for something more from
*** Lisa’s POVI waited, watching Drax lean back in his makeshift throne—a beat-up recliner that had seen better days. The room itself reeked of something desperate, something hollow. The kind of place that pretends to be more than it is, much like Drax himself.He was reveling in the aftermath of his climax, a disgusting display as the girl struggled between his legs, her body twitching as she made her final, desperate attempts to free herself. She clawed at his legs, weak punches landing uselessly against his torso. It wasn’t long before her fight drained out, her last breath spent in a stifled scream, her mouth still impaled on his cock. With a final shiver of satisfaction, he shoved her off, her limp body collapsing in a heap next to the other two women he’d discarded like broken toys.I didn’t flinch. I’d seen worse. Done worse.“Drax,” I said coolly, my voice cutting through the murky air. “This will be your last chance to leave before you’re just another body at my feet.”His e
*** Third Person POV“We were asleep for a reason, a good one." Her voice was calm but edged with a severity that made Eamon pause. Skadi stood across the room, her stance rigid, her eyes locked onto his with an intensity that demanded his attention."It would have to be, considering the risk Lil faces shifting at her age." Eamon’s tone was controlled, but beneath it was a thread of concern. He took a seat back on the edge of the bed, watching her closely, his body tense as if preparing for something he couldn’t yet see."The shift is the least of our worries." She tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowing as if daring him to challenge her.The room felt charged, the air thick with unspoken tension. Skadi's voice was low, her words deliberate, each syllable weighted with meaning."Death isn’t a worry?" His voice held a sharper edge now, frustration creeping in. "Being taken alive is the worry." Her reply was cold, almost dismissive, as she crossed her arms, her eyes darkening.
*** Riona's POV"Will you do it again?" I had asked Dawn, my voice steady but my heart racing."Every time," she had answered without hesitation, her tone as cold as ever."When?""That's not the question you want to ask me," she had replied, her sharp eyes narrowing in that way that always told me she was two steps ahead."Aren’t you tired of burying them?" My voice cracked just slightly."You bury them," she had said, emotionless."Fuck you," I’d spat back, knowing it wouldn't cut as deep as I wanted."Is that all?""Give me the charge," I had demanded, my desperation barely contained."It’s simpler to bury them," she had said with that infuriating calmness."Give. Me. The. Charge."And then, a voice I didn’t recognize had cut through the air. "It’s already done. I hope you survive. I really do."Another night, reliving the same moment. More than four decades later, I’d make the same choice. Every single time. The only thing I’d change? Maybe adding a rune to automatically summon a
*** Eamon's POVLil had left the party hours ago, but still wasn’t home.I regretted not following her, but I couldn’t reconcile that with abandoning the surveillance. It had seemed like the obvious choice at the time—keep my eye on the case, let her do what she needed. But as the night dragged on, regret settled in, gnawing at me like a wound that wouldn't heal.There had been no sense of urgency or danger through the mate bond, so I wasn’t exactly worried. Annoyed? Yes. Worried? Not yet. After all, I had explicitly told her not to leave the house but she’d done the opposite. My frustration grew tenfold knowing she wasn’t answering her phone because she’d left it behind in her apartment. I’d heard the damn thing buzzing when I tried to call.I busied myself with checking in on my team. Kirk had tracked Red to a Sanctum club, the kind of place with a dubious reputation and an even more exclusive clientele. She apparently had VIP access, which only fueled our optimism that tailing her w
*** Kirk's POVThe wave of her climax rippled through me, a surge of heat that coursed from her body to mine, snapping the mate bond into place. I could feel her walls clenching around me, involuntarily stroking me, pulling me deeper into her, beckoning my own release. My body responded instantly, the tension coiling in my core until I growled low in my chest, releasing myself inside her. The pleasure hit me like a storm, my hips jerking into her as my mouth released her neck. I lapped up the blood at the place where I’d marked her, sealing the bond.The taste of her on my tongue sent another shiver through me, but even as I finished, I couldn’t stop. My body still craved her. I was still hard, still thrusting, the need for her not yet sated. I wanted her to ride me forever, to keep this moment suspended in time, right here against the wall, with her body wrapped around mine. The euphoria of my release began to settle into contentment, but something was wrong.She wasn’t moving.Riona
*** Riona’s POV"Mate," he breathed the word into my ear, his voice like a prayer. His mouth descended to my exposed neck, lips brushing softly against my skin. The warmth of his breath sent a shiver down my spine, and then his tongue—slow, deliberate—lapping at the skin where I knew he could mark me. Electricity crackled at the point of contact, a gentle tingle that spread outward like wildfire. Everywhere his lips touched, everywhere our bodies connected, it was like I was waking up—coming alive under him.I could feel my body screaming for him, every nerve ending on fire, the heat between us building to a point I could hardly stand. He smelled it too. I knew he could sense my arousal, smell it in the air. His growl rumbled low in his chest, vibrating against me as he pressed harder into my body. My breathing grew more ragged, more desperate, as my wolf, Skoll, roared in my mind, lust and need crashing over me in waves.I was almost breathless when I mumbled, "If you want me… then
*** Riona’s POVThe club was exactly what I’d needed tonight—an escape, a promise. The kind of place where desires were laid bare, and the shadows offered protection. This wasn’t a dive bar filled with humans and their cheap thrills. No, this was for our kind, for those who could afford the exclusivity. The lights were low, casting a seductive glow over the polished wood and velvet, and the faint scent of the finest perfumes and expensive cigars lingered in the air. Dancers moved on the stage like art, their bodies shimmering beneath the chandeliers that dripped with crystal.I didn’t come here for business, and I definitely didn’t come here to be bothered by him—who I had been sure I’d lost hours ago.Skoll had been restless for weeks, and I’d promised her some action tonight. A little reward for her patience. After all, it wasn’t every night I found time to indulge in what this place offered—namely, anonymous satisfaction. I deserved it. She deserved it. But this? This wasn’t what I
*** Kirk’s POV"We’ve noticed that Miss Ravenshade has had some bad luck recently." Kirk’s voice was low, his words measured as his eyes tracked every subtle movement in Red's body.Red turned to him, a coy smile playing at the edges of her lips. "Has she? I hadn’t noticed." Her expression glinted with a hint of surprise, as if Kirk's line of questioning caught her off guard. This wasn’t where she thought the conversation was headed—it wasn’t why she thought they were following her. Maybe they weren’t dirty cops after all."We don’t like disturbances Others cause," Kirk continued, his tone carrying a quiet authority. "Especially when they turn up on the Humans' radar."Her gaze softened slightly, thoughtful. "Well, Miss Ravenshade doesn’t want to be on any radar, thus the increase in ‘disturbances.'"A less perceptive wolf would have missed the subtly in her response , but I understood. The attacks on Ravenshade had been relatiory. She was refusing to play ball with someone. There was
*** Kirk’s POV“In my game, I ask the questions, and if I like your answers, I’ll reward you,” I whispered, my breath grazing Red’s ear and trailing down her neck. Her skin was smooth, and I noted, just as I suspected, no mate mark. The thrill of control coursed through me, heightened by the lack of any visible bond on her.“Let me guess,” she quipped, tilting her head slightly in response to my closeness, “If you don’t like my answers, you’ll punish me? So original.”“I’m all about originality, baby. If I don’t like your answers, I’ll just slit your throat instead,” I said smoothly, letting my words hang in the air like a knife. Grimnir stirred in my mind, pleased at the threat.She snorted a laugh, the sound light but unimpressed. “Well, that would be original for a cop... unless, of course, you’re crooked,” she mused, her voice dripping with amusement as she trailed off.“I’m straight as an arrow, baby,” I growled, grinding my hips forward into her backside, feeling the tension betw
