My body was sore all over by morning and in between my legs ached. As my eyes fluttered open and I remembered the events of last night, a smile curved my lips, but it was short-lived when I realized Draven had gotten out of bed before I woke up. I sighed in disappointment, rubbing his spot on the bed.Last night has got to be the most memorable night for me. I felt pleasure and pain at the same time. Draven touched every area of my body, discovering new spots that I didn’t know were so sensitive. His name had been on my lips countless times, and he enjoyed pleasing me and hearing me scream his name. I’d heard his beast groan in pleasure whenever I called his name.The pain started when he entered me at first. He was so large, and I was so tight seeing he’d only had sex with me once in the past. He’d tried to be gentle initially, but he lost control and before long, he was pounding on me like a beast. He was fierce. Brutal. He didn’t hold back. But the highlight of it for me was knowin
I saw Ailana the following day after my training with Draven. She was sitting on a bench by the waterside, looking lost and deep in thought. She didn’t look up when I approached her, she just kept staring into space. Her skin was pale, her eyes didn’t hold the shine it used to have. She looked different.“What do you want?” Ailana asked without looking at me.I flopped on the bench next to her “To say I’m sorry,” I sighed.“Sorry for what?” she finally turned to look at me, but I couldn’t tell what it was I saw in her eyes.“For everything,” I sighed “I’m sorry Draven held you in his dungeons. Believe me, I had no idea…”She laughed sadly “I wish I believed you, Ray,” she shook her head “I understand all of it now. You left the shitty pack, found your mate and fell in love. You got famous, became strong and important, and then you forgot all about your little old friend,”“Aila-“ She held up a hand to stop me.“Every fucking day since you left, I prayed to the moon goddess to keep you
DRAVENI had stopped listening to what the chief kingmaker was saying about ten minutes ago. This meeting was dragging on too long, and I was eager to get on to other things. He has been reading the Lycanthrope laws for at least thirty minutes, and it was tiring to hear it. I knew most of these laws by heart because my father made me memorize them as a kid, and the kinsmen knew this all too well. Yet, they took their time to read it during every meeting. I leaned back in my seat as my mind drifted off to my mate for the nth time that day. Her most enticing feature for me was her eyes. Half the time she tried to hide how she felt, but her eyes gave her away. Those round emerald green innocent eyes. There was something about her innocence that turned me on and mere thinking of her now, I could feel my member swelling in my pants. It's been like that since I marked her. Not an hour goes by that she doesn’t cross my mind. It was getting harder by the day to resist her.My beast made my p
HEATHER’S POVI massaged my throbbing temples and let out a breath that I didn’t realize I’d been holding. My beast was angry and she blames me. I was too late, it was all too late now because that disgusting piece of shit was already carrying Draven’s mark. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I have never wanted anyone dead as much as I want that scumbag dead. I want her eliminated and all memories of her existence wiped off from the surface of the earth if possible.If only I’d had the information soon enough, I could have stopped the mating ceremony, but not in a thousand years would I have imagined that Draven will play me dirty like this. Was I not good enough for him? I loved him and pleased him in all the ways a woman could possibly please a man. For many years, I proved my loyalty to him, and even though I constantly had to compete with other women for him, I knew I had a special hold on him that most of them didn’t. He was fond of me, he allowed me lay in his bed, but everything
ESMERAYI lost track of Smythe who had been following at a close distance as soon as I got into Draven’s office building. As usual, everyone was busy and on their toes, an indication that Draven was very much within the vicinity. With the news of the coronation ceremony just around the corner, there was a lot that needed to be done before then. Since the announcement, I gained more fans. People stopped to stare at me when I passed, and some even fell on their knees to pay homage. The young girls who were bold enough to approach me wouldn’t stop singing praises to me and telling me how much like me they wanted to be. The respect came naturally, while a vast majority of them couldn’t hide their jealousy. Draven had warned me about the need to be extra careful now. I’ll be the easiest means his enemies could get to him, which is why he made sure I trained more.My training sessions were longer and more regular unlike before. I spent time in the office these days, and I was gradually cat
I moved without second thoughts, unable to hold my raving beast back. My fingers curled around Heather’s neck, and I flung her against the opposite wall in a flash. Her back hit the wall, creating a large dent. Little pieces of cement fell to the floor as her body slid to the floor. Silence followed. I stopped then, only realising what I’d just done. Not sure how in the name of moon goddess I possessed so much strength to lift a lycan by the neck, but my beast wanted me to beat the living daylights out of her. “Please, Draven, what is this?” Abigail shrieked. I turned then and noticed she was held by two warriors under Draven’s instructions. They already had her in handcuffs, but everyone’s eyes were now on me. “Get her out of my sight,” Draven ordered in a low tone, and without hesitating, Abigail was carted away and her screams resounding in the hallway. Heather had gotten back to her feet but was still staggering to get her composure while I glared at her, and then at Draven. Wha
A knocking on the door brought our attention to it. Vadirr and Duron pushed their way in, with Duron first observing the dent in Draven’s wall. He looked at Draven questioningly before his eyes darted to me and widened in surprise.“Why is Heather still alive?” Vadirr asked first, his brows creasing together. I turned to Draven and quirked a brow too, folding my arms beneath my bosom.Draven didn’t respond. He moved to sit behind his desk and leaned back in the chair, “I’ll take care of her,” he simply said “Come,” He spread his left arm in my direction.“What?” I stared at him, my cheeks turning slightly pink. I was mad at this man, my beast hated the fact that he still carried some of Heather’s scent, but when he looked at me like that, it was hard not to notice how handsome he was.“Come, dear mate, sit with me,” he pated his laps lazily and the redness on my cheeks deepened. “Don’t let me come get you myself dear mate,” he said sternly. I obeyed reluctantly, but only because I
It was past midnight before he returned home that night. Unable to sleep, I got busy reading some of the books the other luna had recommended to me but half the time, my mind drifted off to our little argument earlier in the day. Zelinda had called to cancel tonight’s training on Draven’s orders and it was hard to concentrate when I didn’t know what was going on with him. Because he was a master at shielding his thoughts and emotions, I couldn’t always feel them although I carried his mark. It was like he was deliberately shielding it from me. Perharps I shouldn’t have referred to his late father, but heck we were mates. Was I only just imagining the fact that we were making progress?When I finally heard him enter, I pretended to be engrossed in the book I was reading while he moved around. “You are not reading that,” He spoke, sounding tired. “I am,” before he’d come, I’d planned to ignore him, but how could I? this devil had me wrapped around his fingers.“No one reads a book
