Karyna’s POVI came back home to find Julian still in bed, although my presence woke him up, so it seems. I mean, I didn’t stay too long at the café, so I guess it was okay for him to sleep in still.“You’re back,” he groaned, rubbing his eyes. “Shit, I feel so tired,”His sexy deep voice made me grin uncontrollably. He looked utterly adorable in his sleepy state, with his hair sticking up in various angles, so wonderfully messy and disheveled. I couldn't help but love it.“Yeah. I got your order,” I told him, dropping the items of coffee and donuts that I had in my hands, on the vanity. Then I rushed over to him, launching myself on top of him and he let out a soft grunt at the impact, not at all faded by my sudden weight on top of him.He expelled a laugh and wrapped his hands around my waist, propping me on top of him properly. I let my head rest on his chest, listening to his heart beat rhythmically.We stayed like that for quite a while, in a comfortable silence, just enjoying ea
Henri’s POV “Fuck,” I groaned to myself, gripping my phone so tightly, I feared it might break. I had to sit down on the bed for a second to calm myself down. Listening to Karyna’s voice on the phone brought back all the unwanted sexual sensations I thought I had overcome. For a while, I convinced myself that I was over her, that I wasn’t affected by her in the slightest, but that could only take me so far. She sounded so innocent and sweet…my cock jerked in my pants just thinking about it again. My hands unconsciously moved to rub at my clothed cock as a way to relieve the sudden heat that overcame me. “What the fuck am I doing?” I sighed, stopping myself from continuing the motion further. Yet, my mind kept going back to Karyna. I began to expect her arrival, feeling pumped up, and excited, which was uncharacteristic of me. But could you blame me? I haven't done much this weekend. I haven’t even seen the outside of this building in so long. Instead, I've been coupled up i
Julian’s POV “Hey, are you alright?” I asked Karyna with a concerned frown etched on my forehead. I couldn't help but notice her unusual silence throughout the entire ride. She also remained in the same pose, crossing her arms over her chest and looking outside the window. The whole vibe she exuded was…off.I mean, she was all happy before we got in for this ride, so why was she sulking all of a sudden? She wasn’t even using her phone, if not I would have thought that she received bad news, but this was all her.“Come on, Karyna. What is it? Speak to me? You’re acting strange,” I continued, darting my gaze from the road to her still figure.She didn't answer, letting my questions hang in the air. I sighed and pulled over to the empty side of the road, parking the car there.I took off my seatbelt, and the clacking sound filled the air, filling up the space of silence.“Hey,” I began softly, turning to properly face her. I tilted her face in my direction, and I was immediately alar
Karyna’s POV “As long as you are alright. How’s Onyx?” I heard Julian ask on the phone, and I sighed in relief. Just from the little I could listen to, I was positive that Professor Henri was fine. But my relief turned into fear and inquisition. What really happened here then? I listened to Julian continue talking with Henri on the phone, but I couldn’t help but feel extremely aware of my surroundings. I took notice of everything now; from a slight movement to the staff’s expressions. I drank them all in. I knew I was being paranoid, but it wasn't my fault.After all this, I feel like I have been taking my security too lightly. I’ve been moving too freely about, even when I knew about their…issue.The realization that those who trashed this place could easily infiltrate my life because of them filled me with dread. What terrified me most was the lack of clarity about why they were being hunted.Perhaps I wasn't the intended target. It appeared that only the twins attracted stalker
Julian’s POV Karyna stared at me dazed for a moment after my words. Her face was flushed a bright red, but it seemed like she didn’t even realize it herself. I smirked, amused by her reaction. It seems like I will tease her more from now on, then. I could see a lot of emotion flashing through her baby blue eyes, so fast that one could barely notice it, but they were all gone in a flash as she settled for indifference. I raised my brow at that. I realized she had embraced this apathy behavior after her unexpected meeting with her mother this morning.I reminded myself to ask further about the meeting she had with her mom, later, as nosy as it might be.“We are not even dating. Why would you do such a clownish thing for me? When can we leave?” She asked, changing the topic almost immediately. I focused all my attention on her, and she grew even redder, trying to avoid my stare at all costs. She has been weird like this the whole day. She attempted to pull away from my grasp, and t
Henri’s POVOnyx and I panted hard, we ran for so long that it caused my chest to hurt from the adrenaline rushing through me. Still holding Onyx’s trembling hands, I could tell that he was so close to fainting.“Hey, wake up.” I gripped his shoulders, shaking him lightly. He was drenched with sweat and his charcoal colored hair flopped onto his forehead, matting with the skin. “We’re safe already, so hang on,” He raised his eyes to look at me, but he was so focused on breathing that he didn’t even bother to speak.We had run nearly across town, the far opposite of where Onyx’s motel was located, where I was sure that they wouldn’t look first even if the rogues were after us.We stopped at a luxury hotel, and I decided that we would stay for the night, and call Julian later to inform him about our whereabouts. Thankfully I had my new phone, credit cards, and a few of my stuff stashed inside the bag I managed to take with me.I led Onyx towards the hotel and into their waiting room,
Henri’s POVI slipped into the nearest room and shut the door behind me, my eyes immediately drawn to the massive bed positioned in the center of the room.Setting my bag on it, I decided to call Julian to inform him about my whereabouts. Knowing him, he must be freaking out that he couldn't find me in the motel. He picked up the call at the first ring and we spoke briefly, with me explaining what happened and also sending the location of Victor’s house before I stripped off my dirty clothing and entered the bathroom. It was clean and pristine along with the house, which made me wonder if Victor had hired someone to take care of this house while he was away. It seemed like that way.I stood under the shower, groaning at the relaxing sensation. It was like I was being lulled to sleep. I managed to pull myself out of the shower, although twenty minutes had passed since I entered.I was only wearing a towel around my waist when I heard a knock on my door. “Come in,” I said, rummaging t
Karyna’s POVJulian’s fingers curled into my hair as he continued to thrust my head onto his cock even after Henri left the room. I gagged as the tip grazed the back of my throat. Fresh tears sprung to my eyes the more he pushed in and out of my mouth.My jaw began to ache, he was too big. His thrusts became faster and his cock began to swell, making it harder for me to take more of him.He groaned, keeping a firm grasp on my head. I felt so hot and filled with such lust and intensity that it drove me crazy.Not only because Julian was fucking into my mouth, but also because I caught Onyx watching us through the little crack of the door. At first, I was shocked to find him standing there, watching me suck Henri’s cock, but the fact that someone was seeing me suck a cock was so freaking hot, and it helped to arouse me even further.Although Henri caught on to the fact that we were being watched, the fire in my belly still burnt heavily, and I could feel myself dripping like a leaky f
Julian’s POV “Don’t kill him yet. I want to return all the ten slaps he gave me.” Karyna’s words rang in my ears and I felt a dark cloud of rage enveloped me. I shot forward but she grasped my hand, restraining me as I fumed. “Release my hand,” I ordered her, breathing heavily. Karyna shook her head stubbornly. “No. You promised me not to kill him if Henri didn't.” She whispered, her hand squeezing my clenched fist. I wasn't aware he hit her 10 times before I made that oath. No one can stop Venar from dying today. “I can't keep this promise, Karyna. Only his death can dispel the anger rooted in my chest.” I growled, my whole body convulsing with fury. I released my Alpha aura, thinking the overwhelming energy would push her away but she remained steadfast, unwilling to leave my side. Any sensible werewolf would have kept their distance from a raging Alpha, knowing that the raw power could easily crush them, and they would never be able to shift again. But of course, my Kary
Henri’s POV I had made a vow to kill Venar with my own hands, just like I did his father, Venom. Why? Because both of them are nuisances. That son of a gun kidnapped my Karyna and nearly slapped her to death. “Fucking bastard!” I growled, my hands clenched tightly on the steering wheel as I trailed after Venar. I wanted to go after him that morning, but Karyna was badly injured, and I feared we might lose the surviving baby in her womb, so I let him escape. I placed the highest fucking bounty on his head, but none of the hitmen found find him. I had a feeling he had been lurking in the shadows like a rat scuttling away from the light, and I was right. “You think you can hide forever, don’t you?" I muttered under my breath, a venomous smirk lifting my face. “I’ll make you regret every choice you’ve made. You’ll wish you never crossed me, just like your father did. When I finally catch up with him, I will make sure you taste what it felt like to be slapped to death.” Th
Karyna’s POV The short skirt I wore did nothing to conceal the wetness trickling down my thighs. I could even catch a whiff of my own arousal in the air, and I was sure Julian and Henri could sense it too. “Jules, please,” I let out a desperate plea when he wouldn’t slip his fingers inside me. Julian had been tormenting me; using his middle finger to rub my clit in circles, lightly pressing kisses against my neck. He growled lowly, that deep sound sending explosive waves of arousal down my spine. “What are you begging me for, my love?” Julian whispered in the shell of my ear, and it suddenly felt like we were the only ones in the car. The sensation in my lower stomach was too consuming. I could feel my pussy throbbing painfully as my heart pounded under my chest. The intensity of the moment was almost too much to bear, so I just looked into his green eyes, hoping he’d understand just how much I craved him at that moment. “Alpha. I don’t think your fingers can d
Karyna’s POVAs we made our way to Henri’s car, a whirlwind of emotions washed over me. I couldn't bring myself to accept that my abusive father was truly gone. I was still in shock. I could feel the overwhelming amount of fear I had for Thomas Vegas dissipating with each assurance that he was indeed dead. He was killed by Julian. I was caught between feeling relieved that he could no longer harm me, or force me to do his vile wishes and the nagging question of whether I should feel sorrowful for his death.I’d known that cruel man all my life, and I’d always thought he was invincible, so it was crazy to believe that he was dead, just like that. He had been wealthy and influential during his life, but now he wouldn’t have a final resting place because Julien had killed him to avenge me, and his body would remain lost forever.When we got in front of the car, Julian pulled the back seat door for me, and I slid in. I could feel the sizzling heat coming from his body as he sat beside
Julian’s POV I was anticipating kissing Karyna until she was lost for words again when an iPhone ringing echoed in my ears. “Who's fucking phone is that? Fuck, it’s mine.” I groaned inwardly and went to pick it up, licking my lips to savor the pancake I had just eaten. When I saw that it was Leah who was calling me, my suppressed anger returned. I didn't want this woman calling me. But I was still using the same phone I was using when I was wearing the skin mask that was similar to Onyx’s face. Jeremy deserves his phone and number. I made a mental note to sort that out today before turning to Henri and Karyna. “It’s Leah,” I revealed, bitterness coating my voice like poison. I felt Karyna’s worry surge, even without her saying a word. She looked at me with those baby-blue eyes, her gaze filled with concern and thoughts of another threat. Another threat from my family. I clenched my jaw at that. I contemplated whether I should step outside to answer her. Leah knew I acce
Karyna’s POV I'd been eavesdropping on Julian and Henri's conversation after Henri entered. I heard Henri's laughter and Julian's question of what was funny. Henri's response of “everything” was followed by Julian's shocking revelation that made me blink in disbelief. Besides the fox he killed, he had also attempted to harm one of them. Did he see killing as a normal thing? “I was simply bullying her back for you,” Julian stated, walking over to retrieve the bowl of pancakes in my hand. My eyes widened in astonishment. I couldn't fathom his nonchalant attitude towards serious actions like this. I paused my lips, my heart sinking as I gazed back and forth between the Alphas I had fallen hopeless for. I didn't want to think that I had judged them wrongly or I had underestimated their animalistic nature. “I understand where you're coming from, Julian. But you can't go around ending lives or torturing animals just to defend me from bullies or make me accessories,” “I alre
Henri’s POV As I dashed after Karyna, my heart pounded with worry. How could she be so reckless, especially after yesterday's events? The arsonist might still be out there, and here she was, venturing off alone because she was pissed about the death of a fox. Her blind courage angers me and it fills me with worry. Why couldn't she be more concerned about her safety? I finally caught up to her just before she reached the guards who were stationed in front of the house. Without hesitation, I grasped her arm firmly and stopped her in her tracks. “Karyna, stop!” I urged, my voice thick with concern and frustration. “This is just our way of life. It's normal for werewolves to hunt and kill other animals. Hunting and killing are what we do. There's no need to get upset,” I deadpanned. Karyna turned to shoot me an angry glare, her baby-blue eyes revealing bitterness and confusion. “Normal? Are you freaking serious right now?” Her voice trembled as she spoke. “Just because
Julian’s POV The snow poured heavily on me, stinging like a thousand icy needles, yet I refused to halt my sprint. What was supposed to be a simple 15-minute early morning run turned into a relentless sprint fueled by my escalating anger. It wasn't just Henri's continuous provocation to abandon the Pack that fueled my fury. It was the unsettling realization that his reasons were valid, and I might be forced to confront a truth I wasn't ready to face. I was certain he'd only come back to safeguard Karyna and our child. Yet, deep down, I clung to a foolish wish that his return would reignite the memories of the beautiful life we once shared here and he would want to protect the pack, but as I said, it was a foolish wish. It hurt like crazy to admit that he didn't see this Pack estate as home but as a refuge camp, where he could hide from his enemies, and leave at any slight inconvenience. “Do you really think they want me back as their Alpha? All they want is a pack to b
Karyna’s POV In my dreams, Julian and Henri were having a heated argument. Julian was clearly upset, warning Henri never to mention abandoning the Pack, but Henri insisted it was necessary for our survival. I thought it was all just a dream until a loud door slam woke me up, and there was Julian storming off in frustration. “Henri,” I called out, my voice filled with surprise. I saw the worry etched on his face as he locked eyes with me, and I felt a pang in my heart. Did he insist on abandoning the pack because he was triggered by my mention of needing a break from the chaos surrounding us? Henri sighed softly and walked closer, he climbed on the bed and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Morning, sweetheart,” he greeted, his voice above a whisper. Though his tone seemed light, the somber look in his green eyes and the shadow of regret on his face showed he was sad about the argument he just had with Julian. “Did you really believe we will be safe if we abandon the Pack?” I
