[Tatiana’s POV]My heart begins to hammer in my chest as I stare up at the bastard above me. This was an unexpected turn of events, but I couldn’t just give up and start screaming for help. Instead, this was an opportunity to show what I was made of.Narrowing my gaze, I kick up, connecting right between the bastard's legs, and when he tenses, I take advantage and push him away.Jumping up, I attempt to rush toward the door, but before I can reach it, my hair is being grabbed, and I’m being thrown across the room. Huffing, I hit the wall and crumple to the floor.“Do you really think you stand a chance against me, bitch?” He growls, his eyes flashing.Did I? Maybe. I knew that he wasn’t a normal opponent since he was a mage and not a wolf, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t stand a chance.Getting to my feet, I brace myself for his next attack. As I watch him, I can feel something in me beginning to shift. It’s different from the power I was getting used to. Whatever this was was much
[Knight’s POV]Tatiana’s body shakes against mine as she fights with her embarrassment and desire. Despite her clear hesitance, I can feel her growing wetter with each of my thrusts, and before she can truly say no, I begin to slip into her.“K-knight!” She gasps, clawing my shoulders. “How can…”“Because we are already here and at this point,” I respond, pulling her all the way down on me. “There’s no time like the future.”Fuck, I wanted her. After watching her take out our target and then drive the car so fucking amazingly, I couldn’t stop my desire for her. How could I have known that all this time she was exactly the woman I wanted and needed by my side?“But we are…AH!”“Ssssshhhhh,” I whisper, wrapping my hand in her hair and pulling her mouth against mine. “Just enjoy, princess.”Nodding, Tatiana wraps her arms around my neck, meshing our mouths together perfectly while I begin to thrust in and out of her. Fuck, she’s tight, and I fit so right inside of her. It’s like she was
[Tatiana’s POV]“What did Jasper give you?” I ask Knight as we climb into his car. “You seemed to be surprised.”After receiving that piece of paper from Jasper, Knight had been quiet, and as much as I didn’t want to push him to tell me what it was, I knew that was the only way I was going to find out.“See for yourself,” he responds, passing it over to me. “It involves you anyway.”“Right.”Of course, I knew that it involved me after what Jasper said, but I wasn’t sure what it was. However, instead of trying to come up with an idea, I open it and then stare down in disbelief.“This,” I gasp, snapping my gaze at Knight. “Does this mean…”“That’s right,” Knight confirms. “We have a clue towards your mother’s past and her pack.”Nodding, I continue to read the address and the name on it. After so many years of being a nobody without a pack or a past, I was now learning that I actually had both. Of course, I knew that I did after learning about my father’s pack and syndicate, but now I h
[Knight’s POV]“What will you have me do?”As Desmond’s response leaves his lips, I feel a sense of pride over how strong my mate is becoming. She was nothing like the woman I knew back at Hunters Moon, and even though I would miss that adorable meek woman, I was falling in love all over again with the woman in front of me.“I need a few members of your pack to accompany me to my mother’s pack’s territory.” Tatiana responds. “I don’t intend for there to be any issues, but you truly never know.”“Is that it?” Desmond chuckles. “I was expecting it to be a lot worse.”“That’s it,” she assures him. “Five or six will be enough.”“And when you get there, what do you intend to do?” He pushes.“I’ll figure it out when the time comes.”With that, Desmond gives a nod before relaxing in his seat.“Then I suppose I’ll wait to see what happens.”“That’s all we can do,” I chuckle, though I’m nervous for what tomorrow brings. “We will be heading out then.”“Sure. Go ravish your mate,” he chuckles, c
[Tatiana’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Knight as he begins to kiss down my body, and when he reaches my breasts, his mouth wraps around my nipple, but unlike the other times when he would teasingly lick and suck it, he bites down.Gasping, I feel a wave of both pain and pleasure rush through me that makes me both embarrassed and excited.Sensing my acceptance of what he had done, Knight bites again and then pulls before releasing and doing the same to the other.Moaning around the sash that covers my mouth, I reach out and attempt to wrap my hand in Knight’s hair, only to be stopped by him letting out a growl of warning.“Don’t move,” he warns, grabbing my nipple between his fingers and pulling. “I told you to sit back and enjoy.”Nodding, I claw the sheet beneath me as he continues to move further south and then dives between my folds.Oh goddess, it felt so good to have his tongue run the length of my clit while his teeth grazed my skin. I didn’t think I would ever get tired of him
[Tatiana’s POV]I nervously pull at my shirt while Knight comes around the car to let me out, and when he does, I find myself wanting to stay in place.The next day had come, and it was time for me to meet my mother’s pack and family. Although I should have been thrilled about getting to meet my family, all I could think of was the betrayal my uncle had left me with.“Are you going to sit there all day?” Knight asks when I don’t move. “If you’re second-guessing, we can..."“No,” I say quickly, beginning to move. “This has to happen.”I could only hope that my mother’s side would accept me. It would be much easier that way, but if I had to fight to get them to join me, then I would do that too.The longer we allowed my uncle to control Hunters Moon, Onyx River, and Obsidian River, the harder it would be to reclaim them. We needed to nip this issue in the bud ASAP and do away with him.And Massimo, the small voice in the back of my head, reminds me.Tensing, I try to ignore the flare of
[Knight’s POV]I follow silently as Tatiana’s grandfather leads us through his packhouse and to his office, where we can speak alone. As we move, I take in the walls, which are covered in photos of past leaders, and when we cross one that has a woman who looks almost identical to Tatiana, I can’t help but stop and stare.The woman in front of me is beautiful and radiates a power so strong it managed to get caught in a simple photograph, but unlike Tatiana, her eyes sparkled with promise and weren't shadowed with demons.“That’s Giana,” Tatiana’s grandfather explains, catching me. “It seems that my granddaughter took after her.”As he speaks, he gives Tatiana a look that is both proud and sad.“She did." I agree.Beside me, Tatiana remains silent as she takes in her mother’s portrait, and when I can only assume it becomes too much for her, she turns away and starts examining another photo.“Shall we continue?” Tatiana’s grandfather asks, catching on to Tatiana’s unease.“Sure,” I respo
[Tatiana’s POV]“Thank you." My voice hitches as I feel a wave of relief rush through me. “Truly, I know that you have no reason to join us given our sudden appearance, but..."“I’m going to stop you there,” my grandfather says, giving me a gentle smile. “It was because of that, Giovani, your parents died.”At his words, I feel like a knife is stabbing straight into my chest. So it was known that my uncle was responsible, and I actually believed everything he told me.“What do you mean it was Giovani?” Knight asks as I fight with guilt. “Do you know something no one else does?”“I’ve done my own investigation,” he explains. “Only recently did I hear word of his beginning to dominate other packs. I had one of my men get ahold of your mother’s hospital records. It was said that she died from heartbreak over losing you, but in the end, a potent drug was found in her system. These weren’t the same records I was given when she died. After seeing that, I looked into your father’s death and
