He expertly guided her through one complex dance pattern after another, perfectly synchronized with the music playing in the background. When the music stopped, they departed the dance floor, and the man took her hand in his and gently pressed her knuckles against his lips."Thank you for the dance." His voice was husky, with a heavy French accent. Ophelia smiled and removed her hand from his grasp."Would you like something to drink?" He inquired, and before Ophelia could respond, a hand reached out and handed her a glass of Champaign."You don't have to be concerned about that. I got her covered." Ophelia looked up to see Kieran staring down at the French man with stern eyes.“Let’s go,” Kieran moved her away from the Frenchman. They stopped at a corner from almost the entire ballroom was visible."He didn't like the fact that you were being touched by another man. So, I had to get you away from him, before he ripped that Frenchman to shreds." Kieran said as he sipped his drink and
"Come with me," he muttered as he pulled Ophelia with him.“Where?” She asked as she followed him towards a secluded corner of the dance floor where only a few couples were dancing.They fell into step, allowing the beat to guide their movements. Everything around them, including the scenery and people, vanished. It was only him and her. His brown eyes sparkled. Uncontrollable emotions flooded her body, and her skin tingled with delight. His hand caressed her cheek. He drew her close to his chest, and she wrapped her arms around her neck.Her dark hair fell over her eyes like a curtain, blotting all the light. He wished to look into those slate blue eyes.She drew her hand back to brush her hair, but his hand clutched onto hers. He placed her delicate hand on his shoulder with tenderness. Her slate blue eyes twinkled back at him as he tenderly tucked her lock behind her ear. Moments flew by as they swayed along with the music. They were both silent and stared at each other, not saying
This is the moment she had been waiting for the last few months. This is the moment she had fantasized countless times over the months and only longed to feel his body pressed deliciously against hers. His grip on her hips tightened and he picked her up, seamlessly carrying her to the small table and sat her down. He stood in between her legs as their lips hungrily devoured each others. He repeatedly kissed her till their lungs burned in lack of oxygen and they pulled back. He pressed his lips against her forehead and pulled her into his chest. His one arm was around her back and the other protectively held her head against his beating heart. Ophelia wrapped her arms around his waist and slowly tears dropped down her cheek. Onyx pressed his lips against her head and clutched his eyes shut.“I missed you.” Ophelia sobbed and his hold tightened. “I missed you so much you selfish beast!”“I missed you too, my love. I missed you too.”That night they left the gala together and to her temp
"I want you to decide whether you want to stay with me or reject me," Onyx stated with sternness and Ophelia stared up at him with desperate eyes."Of course, I want to be with you! I won't reject you!" He took her hands in his and she exclaimed."I want you to make your decision after you listen to what I have to say. I want you to think about everything and make a thoughtful decision. Do you get what I'm saying?" Onyx asked with soft eyes and she nodded her head."I have practised this conversation quite a lot of times since that night but even after that it is hard." Onyx exhaled after taking a few deep breaths. "I should start with my family." He said and Ophelia nodded her head."My grandmother was the first female alpha of the packs in our region. An alpha is someone who serves to protect their pack like a Guardian. They are the single leader of a pack. Their wolf is the strongest, most powerful and the most lethal. Typically, the Alpha's firstborn male is the pack's next Alpha.
"He wanted nothing more than to have you, and I couldn't let him have you. I couldn't allow him to hurt you again. So, I locked myself up. They summoned the Demon once more and temporarily sealed the beast. And all the while, I tried to push you away. But like the demon had said, you pull him out. The bond we share pulls him out and you saw how I had shifted that night for the first time in almost twelve years." Onyx sighed and raised his head. He took her hands in his."You would always pull him out, you are his other half too, but he is a danger to you, Ophelia. Every time I'm with you and any strong feeling I have would pull him out. Every bit of rage, joy, sorrow, and love will pull him out. He would want to have you and I wouldn't be able to stop him. Ophelia, I need you to make a decision. I want you to decide whether you would stay with me even after knowing your life might be in danger for the rest of your life. Ophelia, you have the option of walking out and being free. Even
“I will never abandon you, even if it means taming the beast within you!" Ophelia exclaimed and a small smile sprouted on his lips. He seized her lips once more, this time without hesitation or delay. As his tongue delved inside her mouth, the heat in their kiss never dissipated. She became more daring, taking what she desired as he did with every flick of their tongues. She moaned into his lips, pressing her hips against his to create some friction. If it hadn't been for him, the aching yearning between her legs would have become almost insatiable. All she knew was that she needed him to put out the fire inside her abdomen. The yearning for each other manifested itself in passionate, urgent moans and groans. The filthy state of everything suffused the room with sin. “Are you sure, my love?” As his lips hooked into the silky flesh of her neck, he inquired. He left open kisses and sucked at one particular spot where her neck met her shoulder."Yes. In this universe, I wouldn't trade yo
"Ophelia?" Onyx gave her a gentle shake. "Wake up, baby," His voice was gentle as he tried to wake her up. "We are here. Love, wake up." He said it again, and her eyes gradually opened.She found herself curled up comfortably on his lap. She looked around to see that they were in a car and they were moving. She looked up to see him with affectionate eyes looking down at her."Good morning," he said and she smile. "Morning." She said this as she sat up beside him. Her hand was looped around his arm as she rested her head on his shoulder."Did you sleep well?" He inquired, and she nodded. Onyx chuckled as she yawned. “You sure do sleep a lot.”“It’s not my fault that I was deprived of good sleep for the past few months. And I sleep well when you are there with me.” Ophelia muttered and Onyx placed a loving kiss on the crown of her head.The car made a left turn on the small road, which was flanked on both sides by woodlands. Ophelia looked up as the car climbed slightly upward after pas
There was no need for any verbal interaction. No need to clarify anything as she continued to work. Button after button, his shirt opened up to reveal a strip of his toned chest. She tried to keep her eyes from lingering and concentrated on the task of removing his shirt. Heat boiled in her stomach, and she felt feverish all over. When she undid the final one, her nails stroked his abdomen. When she placed her hands on his hips, he groaned and flinched slightly. Tingles rushed through her body as she stroked her hands over his abdomen, up his chest, and to his shoulders. Their gazes locked, and she eased her fingers beneath the fabric of his shirt, unhurriedly brushing the garment off his shoulder. She inhaled sharply, unable to resist the impulse to sweep her gaze along his upper body.He'd seen her naked before, but it was her first time seeing him bare in front of her. At the sight of him, she bit back a moan and chewed on her lips. The slacks he was wearing were too tight around h
Judith groaned as she moved her body for the hundredth time trying to get into a comfortable position to sleep. She turned to her right, then groaned and turned to her left. Unable to get comfortable, she lay flat on her back."Can't fall asleep, love?" Drazhan asked in a raspy sleepy voice as he nudged closer to her and rested his large palm on her swollen belly. His palm softly caressed her belly and Judith sighed."I can't get comfortable." She whined and Drazhan kissed her temple."Want me to fetch some more pillow?" He asked and Judith looked around her. There were two pillows under her head, one on her right, one on her left and a few under her legs. She sighed and shook her head. Drazhan pulled his body up and rested his weight on his elbow and looked at her."Can I do anything?" He asked and Judith looked up at him."Take him out of me. He's been way too active for the past week. Always moving around, kicking the crap out of me." Judith whined and Drazhan chuckled."How do you
"What are you looking at? Eat up." Onyx said sharply, and Ophelia sighed as she took a mouthful of mixed vegetables. He sliced up another slice of beef and lifted it in front of her lips while she chewed slowly. Ophelia shook her head and grumbled."You better eat up or I'll spank you!" Onyx threatened and she poked her tongue out."I'll rather accept that than eat another bite of that!" She remarked this while pointing to the plate. Onyx shook his head and sighed."You'll be hungry as soon as we get there." He replied, and she averted her eyes."I won't and I'll be carrying some snacks with me." Onyx gave up after hearing Ophelia's triumphant words. He rose up and put the food away. He extended his hand and assisted Ophelia in getting up. Ophelia clutched his hand with one of her hands while the other rested protectively on her swollen pregnant belly. Onyx escorted her to their bedroom and seated her on the bed."Wait a minute; I'll be right back with your dress." Ophelia rolled her
"Repeat those words again, Ophelia! I dare you!" He snarled."I will find someone else to appease my needs. You could stay here and jerk yourself or bring Ivy with you.""Have I ever said anything like that to you? Have you ever heard me utter such words to you with such blunt disrespect!" He snarled, and she glanced down, unable to bear the heat of the scorching browns."Answer me!""I would like to leave!"“This is the last time I’m warning you, Ophelia. Never come back here.” He said as he withdrew himself. He turned on his feet without another glance.“Why is it that I am the one who loves you more? Why is it that I am the one who has to wait for you, yearn for you? Why is it that you don’t love me the way I love you?” She asked in a dejected voice, tears slowly streaming down her face.“I did this because I love you. I did this to protect you.”“No! You are lying! You find it so effortless to just abandon me! You do not need my love! He deserves it!”“Whom?” He asked with wide ey
Passing wolves bowed their heads, smiled, and showed their respects as they headed to the infirmary. They know who Ophelia is and what she is going through, and they have gradually warmed up to her over the last month. Ophelia smiled at them as she and Cressida proceeded down the corridor to the healer.Cressida knocked on the door, and the healer opened it instantly. With a respectful bow, she opened the door and invited them inside."Ech hunn dës aus der Emgéigend Mënsch Stad, Luna Cressida." As she handed Cressida a small pouch, the healer stated. (I brought these from the nearby human town, Luna Cressida.)"Merci, Bessie," Cressida said as she took the pouch and turned towards Ophelia. (Thank you, Bessie.)"Take this inside. Use them and bring them to me. I'll be waiting for you right here." Cressida stated with a loving smile as she handed the pouch to Ophelia. With slightly trembling hands, she accepted it and proceeded to the restroom.Ophelia closed the door shut and tore the
"Are they not made properly to your taste?" She asked, even though knew she was losing her appetite slowly."They are delicious. But I'm full." Ophelia kindly said."I can make you something else. What are you craving, sweetheart?" Cressida asked as she walked closer to her."I'm craving for him." She said and Cressida let out a low sigh."He is doing this to protect you, dear.""This is where the misunderstanding is beginning. His beast didn't try to harm me. He merely tried to mark me as his. He was afraid that Onyx would regain control before he had his rightful portion of my flesh." Ophelia informed and Cressida frowned."It is unusual that the beast is chasing after the human part of their mate. This has never happened before.""That is something I have thought about a lot actually. I questioned and searched for an answer. And I did find one. Onyx's beast cherishes me, mom.""How do you know that?""I can feel him now. He meant no harm and this distance Onyx is putting between us
As the voices surrounding her yelled for her not to close her eyes, her heart felt heavy and burning with anguish. His agonizing cries ripped her heart as she battled for her life. He screamed and sobbed in misery as if he had been injured. She felt as if her body was being lifted and taken somewhere. She could scarcely speak, but every word she managed to utter was his name. She was frightened. Not because she was afraid of losing her life, but because she was afraid it would be the last time she saw him. The hands pressing down on her neck wound had departed, and the healer was preparing to care for her.When the healer touched something on her raw wound, she let out an ear-splitting cry. Each time she cried, sobbed, he felt it too. He was living every bit of the misery and pain she was going through. She wished he was at her side, but his urge to protect her was always stronger than anything else. And when she awoke two days later, he was gone.When she opened her eyes, Cressida wa
Cressida approached Ophelia, who was seething. She gently drew her close, her arm over Ophelia's shoulder."They've done a lot of damage to you, Ophelia. He simply does not want you to be anywhere near them because he is afraid, they may harm you again. We all know they can't, but he's simply scared." Cressida said, and Ophelia nodded."Mom, I understand. But I just wanted to know something." Cressida squeezed Ophelia's shoulder as she whispered with an underlying coldness."I have made your favourite Maple-pecan shortbread. Let's go." Cressida smiled, and Ophelia's face brightened up. They walked towards the kitchen, gossiping between themselves. Ophelia had grown close to Cressida, and she treated and looked after her as if she were her own daughter. Ophelia was glad to finally have a mother figure.Ophelia's mind was muddled with thoughts of what Onyx was doing while she munched on the shortbread. They had been looking for Leona and Abilene since the night Abilene kidnapped her. De
She took his head into her mouth and twirled her lips and tongue around it, small shudders ran through his body as the ache between her legs began to increase."I don't like being teased, Ophelia." He growled and combed his fingers through her hair before taking a fistful and forcing himself to the back of her throat. He filled her throat, stretching it as she gripped both of her hands on his muscular thighs. The warm water from the shower continued to cascade over their bare bodies. As he began to build up his pace, he gently pushed his hips towards and away from her face, his cock sliding between her lips. "Goddess Ophelia!" he moaned as she sucked him farther.The need to be filled again got stronger, and as if sensing it, he whispered softly, "I want you to touch yourself every time you're on your knees for me." As one of her hands touched her wet folds, a chill ran down her spine. The contact of her own fingers pushed her to the edge, "Don't cum unless I tell you to." He gave the
Ophelia winced as she drew up his bulky arm and climbed out of bed. Onyx's sleeping face contoured with displeasure and she replaced her place with her pillow. She moved to the bathroom on her tiptoe, winching from the soreness on her way. She turned on the shower and sighed as the warm water poured down her aching body. Ophelia took the soap from the stand and applied it to her entire body. When her fingers touched his mark on her neck, she winced slightly and a delicious shudder ran down her spine. Ophelia smiled to herself as she reflected on the previous few weeks. The last few weeks have been incredible. Their relationship flourished, he moved to Dubai temporarily for her, and the love had only grown to be more deep. Onyx was becoming increasingly protective of her, and every chance he got, he showered her with his unconditional, never-ending love. He didn't leave any stone unturned in fulfilling her every desire and need. He was spoiling her rotten, and she could only imagine wh
