Vance’s expression didn’t change, but I saw his jaw tighten, just a little. He was listening. I could tell he understood what that meant. He didn’t need me to spell it out. He knew what our father was capable of. Vance’s father, Bernard, had worked for ours for as long as I could remember. And Vanc
24 HOURS BEFORE JUNIOR YEAR GRADUATION REIGH I arrived at the clinic with a weight on my chest, one I hadn’t been able to shake since the night before. The door clicked shut behind me as I stepped inside, and I had to remind myself to breathe. The lobby was empty, save for a flickering TV mo

But then again, what made me think I knew what strange was for Reigh? Yesterday had taught me that I really didn’t know anything about the brothers I had given my heart to. Caeson pulled away from the small crowd, ever the individualist. Always the grand tormentor. He refused to let me walk
He hadn’t even raised his voice, yet despite the distance, his words carried like he had just whispered them in my ear. Seductive and bitter. My damnation. “But you made it too easy, Harlot. You almost ruined the fun.” Harlot. It was the first time I had heard him call me that in months. All

Dotesha’s mouth to be precise.To summarize, Charlotte was just lucky. At least to her, it felt that way. Because she was he rare offspring of a human father and an alpha wolf mother, which caused her to inherit dual spiritual lineages.The anomaly split her inner wolf into two distinct entities, ea
EPILOGUECharlotte Warner stood in front of a full length mirror on what she was feeling was going to be one of the best days of her entire life.She was officially about to become a Mrs.And boy was she nervous.“Char, if I stand on my feet for a minute longer, I’m gonna pop right here!” Her best f
Taide took her tits into his mouth, sucking at her nipples from underneath her frame. “Oh goddess,” she shook her head, her toes curling. “I want you…” Char panted, rocking her hips over his erection. “I want you inside me.” He wasted no time pulling down his pants, briefs as well—not all the way
CAESONI was hard already. I dropped to my knees right there on the spot. She shuffled back slightly, but I grasped her thighs, stopping her from moving away. My hands trailed up her soft skin, fingers gripping at the flesh of her thighs, reaching back to cup her ass as I leaned forward, burying my
