Chapter 34Dahlia.“Dahlia.” All hair on my body stood on end at that moment, recognizing that voice. It’s almost like my body automatically responded at the sound of a deep, guttural breathing, and I could practically hear the air heave up and down his chest. The mixture of both, once made my toes curls and my back arch before I had the most intense, mind-blowing orgasm. No one has ever made me feel that way. No one but them.In the darkness, I could barely make out Tatum’s jaw clench before he was forced to move in his spot. His back is now turned to me, and I peek over his shoulders.“Dahlia.” Valerian growled this time, his low, raspy voice echoed in the cave. A feeling of relief suddenly settled in my stomach. I don’t know why but I was glad they showed up.My head tilts to the side, watching Tatum’s expression darken, or so I thought. At least that’s what I think I saw. My mind must be playing tricks on my because the next moment I blinked, a playful expression was now plaste
Chapter 35Dahlia.Atlas looked me up and down with worry in his eyes as soon as we arrived and entered through the door. Hades and Valerian’s glares never left me even as I walked in, but I did a good job ignoring them with Tatum by my side. Atlas approached us. “What happened to you?” I froze as I met my brother’s eyes. “I-I… uhm…”“It was my fault, Alpha. We were having so much fun playing that we lost sight of her clothes.” Tatum explained for me, making me look at him.Atlas cocked an eyebrow. “Is that right, Dahlia?”I nodded. Technically, I think I could say that was actually what happened. Whoever took them was probably a rogue or something. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.Wait just a minute. Tatum and I weren’t the only ones near the lake. My eyes slowly move to where Hades and Valerian stood as they glared at me, anger in their eyes.My mind raced as I couldn’t help but put 2 and 2 together.They were there, too. How long have they been standing there, watching us?
Chapter 36Dahlia.I yelped and scooted backwards in my bed, my eyes darting immediately to my bedroom door which is now pushed wide, wide open.Two sexy, inhumanely attractive men stepped in. Their presence seeming to create a dark, yet extremely hotter atmosphere in the air. The pacing of my heart accelerates a thousand times faster, and I can’t seem to breathe. The lights were off, and I was hoping, actually hoping I could hide from their prying eyes. So, I ducked my head, hoping to shrink into the size of a cat. I knew it was an impossible feat, but still I wanted to give it a shot. A deep chuckle resounded through the walls and the cold, night air, making shivers crawl down my spine as I stayed hidden. Inevitably, I could sense their gazes pinned exactly right where I was. Right. Night-vision, I groaned inwardly. I have been living amidst the humans for so longs I have forgotten the basic facts about being a werewolf.The darkness is no threat to us, and I am surprised I am cli
Dahlia.“You will not come in here and insult my mate like this. Now get out of my room.” I snarled, my hands shaking uncontrollably as it turned numb from the impact.Surprisingly, Hades turned his eyes to me, yet his eyes were gentle, soft.“Little flower,” he purred, grabbing my wrist before pinning them right back above my head.“Let me go, I tell you!” I snarled as I thrash beneath him, but my resistance was futile when Valerian came up and crawled on the bed, pinning down my other leg until I became motionless.“We know you, little flower,” Hades said, his gaze seeming to devour me as I laid there with my legs spread open and my hands stuck in his tight grasp.Hades smirked and whispered into my ear, leaning just close enough for me to hear.“You don’t want us to leave just as much as we don’t want to go,” Then he chuckled.“At least not before we let you come.” His voice came out so deep and husky it made my pussy walls clench. The thought of having the largest explosive orgasm
Chapter 38Dahlia.Just when I thought it was over, I realized I was wrong as Hades, after having an explosive orgasm, didn’t stop thrusting into me with the same rhythm, same speed, same force that has my body jolting up and down in my bed.And if anything, his thrusts only became rougher than slower. My walls clenched and spasmed around his cock. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Valerian move before Hades flipped me on my stomach. Just in time, Valerian’s mouth popped as he released my breasts and moved under me. Now I am facing his massive cock with a bead of precum on the tip, making me gulp. Suddenly, I had a parched throat and parted lips to back it up.Hades groaned his arousal while he continued pounding me from behind. Valerian smirks down at me, as he pushes my head down and my tongue slips out, licking his pre-cum and twirling my tongue around it, causing him to groan in approval.I began lapping his thick juices from his balls upward before Hades thrusted into me with
Dahlia.“Why do you smell like them?” He asks again. This time all blood drains from my face as I feel my brother’s Alpha aura rush out of him.What the fuck am I going to do now? For the love of me, I have forgotten to clean myself up or take a shower after they were done. I didn’t bother, I was currently not in the right state of mind nor did I have the energy to take a cold one. I shuddered at the tone he used in his question. Did he smell them all over me?Shit, I was so stupid because of course I reeked of them. They came and milked my body with their cum. I should have been more careful, and now, my alpha brother is going to kill me.Taking a big gulp down my parched throat, I slowly spun on my heel, looking anywhere but at my brother who now stood one, terrifying meter before me.“Delilah.”“Huh?” My eyes snap up to meet his dark eyes, quite identical to mine when they’re not turning black due to his wolf rising to the surface.“I asked you a question.” His voice was calm, sur
Chapter 40Dahlia.Atlas cursed under his breath, sprinting towards the staircase when a seething, steaming red Lisa appeared in the hallway.“What the f*ck is she doing in our room?!” She screamed at Atlas.“Baby, that’s the guest room. Are you drunk?” “I don’t care! What the f*ck is that b*tch doing here?!”Atlas sighed, stepping forward to rub Lisa’s back in soothing circles. I roll my eyes.“I told you, she’s a guest. Besides, I need to look into her after what happened in the bar last night.” Atlas explained, yet it was crystal clear Lisa was not having it.“What happened?”“She was drugged. I need her close to tell me exactly what happened in that fucking bar. Because this don’t happen. Not under my fucking watch.” Atlas growled out, making Lisa freeze all of a sudden.Surprise flitted in her eyes before she quickly masked it, replacing it with her well-known anger.“Well then, tell someone else to do it! Why does it have to be you all the fucking time?!” she snarled, hatred an
Chapter 41Dahlia.This isn’t happening. This can’t be happening.“Mate!” Lola whimpered back.*****Walking alone I headed towards the park. I was in a desperate state to clear my head and get my shit together before everything around me crumbles before my eyes. My mind is a scattered mess, and I don’t know what to do when jealous is threatening to consume me and guilt is trying to eat its way into my nerves.How the fuck am I supposed to go about this? Hades has a girlfriend, and Valerian is mate to my best friend, Lola. As painful and shameful as it is, I have to admit I still crave for them. My body throbs, hurts for their lingering touch, the feel of their skin brushing against mine, as well as their tongues licking on parts of my body I never knew needed that wet, fuzzy sensation caused by each of their advances.They made love to me last night and now I am about to decide to go about my life without them, or spend every damn day dreaming about those intense, heated moments w
Chapter 123 Hades’ POV: Three weeks later. Everything was revealed later that night. The dead bodies piled up in the room, Scarlet’s origin, and the rogues he’d been keeping in that private house Damien apparently gave to him after he’d been crowned prince. King Damien had been furious. Despite what he did, we chose to give him and the others a proper funeral, which will be coming up in the next few days. Hopefully by then, Dahlia will wake up, and accept the mark I’d given to her as my chosen mate. “How long has it been now?” Val asks, leaning against the door frame in my office. I shrug, “A few weeks. Three tops,” I reply and sigh. Val nods, and I look at him. “How’s Cathy?” I ask. “She’s fine, been trying to get her to take her supplements,” “Well, is she?” “Not without a bribe,” he chuckles, and I shake my head. Of course, he can get his woman to make love to him despite being pregnant. But then, it begs the question. “And what about Lola?” “Well, she doesn’t really
Chapter 122Hades’ POV:“Can we really trust her?” I groan. My beta insists a rogue shouldn’t be trusted, but I have a feeling I should.“Right now, she’s the only lead we got. If she is lying, I’ll give you a go signal. Kill her.” I tell him just so he could shut up already. He nods, but I know the reason he’s acting suspicious is because the last thing he trusts would be damn rogues leading us the way. Our pack is no stranger to rogue attacks, and for his account, he lost both his parents in one.We are currently moving in a large group with my warriors in my front, following Scarlet’s lead. She looks over her shoulder at me, when suddenly she skids to a stop.Because we are not connected to pack link, she has no choice but to communicate to us through gestures. She whines and proceeds to point her nuzzle to a wall.She’s shitting me, right?“What am I looking at?” I ask when I realize I have delivered the question directly to the mind-link.“She tricked us!” My beta snarls, and jus
Chapter 121Dahlia’s POVHis eyes widen and he instantly grabs the handle of the knife, only for me to push it in harder. Blood spews from his mouth, letting me know I have a chance. Diana comes forward when he tries to get up, lending me her strength to pin him down while he’s currently caught off guard. He growls, his eyes locked onto me in surprise, confusion, and wrath, but I don’t let go. Instead, I grip the knife tighter, pushing as much as I could before I twist. Suddenly, his mouth opens and more blood trickles from his lips. Then he makes a gurgling sound, and I watch him, my heart racing in my chest as I stare into his wide eyes.One minute turned to two as I held the knife buried deep in his heart while he constantly fights. His breathing becomes weaker and weaker by the second, and his inability to utter a word, I figured, is what prevented him from casting any spell. Then, he surprises me when he grabs my neck, yanking me forward. I shriek, holding onto the knife as he
Dahlia’s POV:I look at him watching me with lust and desire as he roams his eyes over my body. It heats and squirms underneath his gaze, yet I was certain it was none other than the bond making me feel such things. What else would make me look past whatever sick thoughts were going through his head, and everything he’d done up to present?Tatum leans forward, letting me know that somehow grabbed his attention. So I try to keep it by licking my lips seductively, placing my palms on the mattress before I begin crawling to him, stopping at the edge to spread my legs wide open.He growls, his eyes going to my center and I take this as a chance to put my arms around his neck as I pull him towards me. Thankfully, he obliges, but then he stands, shoving me back on the bed.Pushing my elbows against the mattress, I move my body further up the bed where the knife is. But Tatum doesn’t follow. He remains standing at the foot of the bed, staring at me with hooded eyes. My eyes move down to his
Chapter 119Dahlia’s POVIt took me a few seconds to realize how many boxes were stacked in this one room. Sixteen. The only thing that gave me a little comfort was that I only recognized one of the scents. Thalia’s, which means recently, he’d only killed one of the women though I have yet to see proof of Scar’s. That woman is tough as gold. I’ve been holding on to small hope that maybe, she escaped. I also noticed how Tatum disclosed so little information about her, that strengthens my resolve to believe he is lying.As long as I have hope, I can hold out a little longer. I have to.It’s taking longer than expected for me to reject the effects of wolfsbane, leaving me still in a paralytic state though my mind is conscious. Tatum turned his back for a second, when I felt the mind-link open up.‘Dahlia!’ A deep voice boomed in my head, and there was no mistaking it.‘Hades,’ Relief would have flooded me right in this instant, if only Tatum haven’t somewhat sensed it as he strode towa
Chapter 118Dahlia’s POV:I wake up groggily and groan, a loud ringing in my head as I try to gather my bearings. My head is pounding, and I try to lift my hand to massage my temple only to find it is useless; I can’t move, not just my hand, but my whole body seems paralyzed. Although I can feel my lips and tongue, meaning I can only speak but not move for the next couple of hours, or more.As I come to, I hear my wolf groaning subtly in the back of my mind. That’s when I remembered, Tatum. I stepped outside my room for a while to check on the shouting when I bumped on him out of nowhere. Then, he pulled out a syringe and injected me with wolfsbane.Wolfsbane! I gasp to myself.Relief floods me to know that the wolfsbane hasn’t gotten to Diana, at least not yet. Wolfsbane, when injected directly to werewolves, could damage us in unimaginable ways, damage our wolf. “You’re awake,” a loud voice rips me out of my thoughts as I try to look in the direction it came from. My blood runs co
Hades' POV:The moment I heard the commotion, felt the shift in the air, I knew something was wrong. My heart thunders in my chest, a nagging instinct I can’t ignore.The warriors are scrambling, trying to form ranks, but I’m beyond reasoning, beyond commands. My blood burns with the need to protect her. The faint rustle of movement catches my ear, and I turn just in time to see one of my warriors running toward me, breathless. His eyes are wide, panic creeping into his voice.“Alpha, there’s been a breach,” he says, his voice shaking. “It’s Tatum. He’s taken her.”A jolt of ice shoots down my spine. The world around me slows, as if time is stretching, elongating, mocking me.Tatum.I don’t know how he managed it, how he could have gotten this far without my knowledge. We were prepared for attacks, for skirmishes, but this... this is different. This feels personal. He’s always been a threat, but now, it’s a war I didn’t anticipate.I don’t think. I just move.The ground beneath my fee
Dahlia’s POVThe room is quiet, save for the soft hum of the heater and the distant murmur of the pack house settling for the night. Hades hasn’t left my side since the confrontation at the border, his presence grounding and reassuring. Still, the weight of Tatum’s rage lingers in the air, heavy and suffocating.Hades stands by the window, his silhouette framed by the silver moonlight. He’s tense, his shoulders stiff and his arms crossed over his chest. I can feel his emotions like a pulse in the air.“Stop blaming yourself,” I say softly, my voice breaking the silence.He turns, his dark eyes meeting mine. For a moment, he doesn’t say anything, and I see the war waging within him. Then he exhales, a sound heavy with frustration.“I should have never let you go with him,” he says, his voice low but sharp. “Tatum shouldn’t even have the chance to get near you.”I push myself up from the bed, my limbs still weak but my resolve strong. “He doesn’t have me, Hades. I’m here with you.”His
Chapter 115Tatum’s POVHades' smugness sends rage spiraling through me. I stand at the border of his precious pack, my fists clenched so tightly I can feel my claws biting into my palms. He thinks he’s won. He thinks he’s the better Alpha.But he doesn’t know what I’ve been through. What Dahlia and I have been through.She’s my mate. My wolf howls in agreement, pacing relentlessly in the cage I’ve forced him into. He wants to tear through Hades’ chest, rip him apart limb by limb for daring to claim what isn’t his.“She’s not his,” I growl, my voice low but laced with venom.Behind me, my warriors shuffle uneasily, their loyalty unwavering but their nerves visible. They know the risk of challenging Hades on his own land, but they also know I won’t back down.“What’s the plan?” asks my wolf, my other half. He’s infiltrated my mind with filthy thoughts these days, and no matter how much I want to shut him up, the thing is forever connected to me. The same way Dahlia is connected with me
