Michaels Pov
I turned to see Anthony with most serious look I had seen on him so far
"Or you pretend to be our mate, Elena Wolfe," Anthony’s cold, taunting voice cut through the air.
I observed the visible fear coursing through Elena, her face was drained in shock and eyes were filled with fear. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she clung to herself, seeking solace in her own embrace. It was sad to see but I knew the drama was just unfolding and I was in the front row to watch and had a opportunity to participate at anytime.
I didn’t expect the hunt to be this thrilling a combined with the escalating tension,today an exceptional experience. "So, what’s your choice, princess?" I taunted, relishing my participation in the unfolding events like I said, I had the power to participate at any time. This
was a captivating ride, and I had every intention to seize the opportunity.I chuckled,
Not loud but loud enough to catch Elena’s attention, Her eyes briefly flashed with intense despise before she averted her gaze back to the floor , avoiding direct eye contact. Her visible fear was palpable, it could be smelled a mile away, the tightness in her posture revealing her vulnerability and exposing a bit too much of her legs,she was damn sexy.
I turned my attention away from her to something else before I do what I have been thinking about doing to her body since I laid my eyes on her, I turned to Anthony and I knew he felt the same thing but he just had so much self control to hide under his cold looks and back to Elena, they were strays of leaves clung to her hair, and yet I wanted to do unspeakable things to her on this very bed but instead I stood and observed.Her distress only heightened the fascination in observing her and wanting her.
“No”
I wasn’t sure of what I heard, the desperation in her refusal was almost a whisper, a feeble attempt to resist the inevitable.
It intrigued me.
Her fear was quite exquisite, her struggle against the inevitable fate was only serving to amplify the moment. I smiled.
Anthony’s simmering rage was apparent. He never took it well with rejection neither did I,especially from her. After her futile attempt to stake him with a wood on his heart and he decided to spare her life and give her make her a deal, the fantasy of every girl in the kingdom, to marry him and she refused.However, he restrained himself, watching her with disdain,like a predator wait for its prey.
She needed a push, maybe we had become to soft with her, nobody dears to question us and has never said No. I could see she was terrified, biting her pink lips to Before she could utter another word, I was in front of her, my claw delicately grazing her neck. Her sharp intake of breath indicating she was terrified, biting her pink lips making a red a swollen and that was all it took to bring back visible lust in my eyes and mirrored the excitement that surged within me. I stared at her and torn her clothes with my eyes, Dear lord.
“No, let me have the honor, brother." Anthony interrupted, he always had an eagerness for involving in violence and
I had forgotten the reason I was in front of her, focus.
Anthony advanced toward us.
I couldn’t, I couldn’t focus on anything but her and her seductive lips and the way she turned me on by just looking at me, I began to line her lips with my finger which got out a sharp sigh from her which just made me press deep into her mouth making her choke, I put one more finger and went deeper making her choke more before I pulled my wet fingers out of her mouth not breaking eye contact as I licked my fingers and smirked when done.
“Too bad” I said, she turned to see Anthony beside her, harboring above her and she moved quickly to the edge of the bed,
"Stay away from me!" Elena’s voice broke the tension, wielding a pillow as her defense against us, which was an ineffective defense. I chuckled at her futile attempt while still remained fixated at her beauty and thoughts of her in my bed.
However, her fear-driven resistance, though futile, held a strange allure. It was a rare spectacle to witness someone defiant against the inevitable power we held and amazing as she swing the pillow against us.
The teardrops traced a path down her cheeks, her voice almost pleading. "I am sorry," she whispered.
Finally, she understood, she never really had a choice. Yes, it was crystal clear; in our world, there was never a genuine choice.
Anthony smiled for the first time since we met her affirming our control. "Then it’s decided. You are our mate, subject to our commands and serving as the Luna. You'll comply with our every directive given by us, serving us as your mates and kings."
“Yes”, she in a whisper
Her hesitant agreement was the inevitable conclusion to our twisted game, serving only to further cement our dominance.
"That wasn't too bad," Anthony commented, walking away after staring at Elena’s for awhile. I couldn't stop staring at Elena. His leaving was cold, like he purposely wanted to keep his distance from her and I knew why.
As Anthony went, I struggled to keep my cool. Elena's presence made me feel drawn to her, and I tried hard not to give in
but my eyes couldn’t just move away from her, her eyes were fixed on the bed, if she was trying to a piece contact then she did a good job. I knew my eyes showed a desire or may fully lust.The fight inside me was real. Part of me wanted to touch her, to feel her skin and maybe find Luger her lips taste, kissing her to oblivion to take away her tears knowing that we were the cause but another part knew that was a bad idea, at least not now. The battle between my wild side wanting to ravaged her and watch her call my name from beneath me and the sensible part of me seeking restraint but which was stronger?.
I don’t know.
I looked her again and finally, I made a decision to step out of the room, avoiding the tempting pull of Elena into me. My leaving mirrored Anthony's, both of us understanding that being close to her was risky. Outside, in the hallway, I took a deep breath. I needed a break from the intense emotions inside.
As I distanced myself, I grappled with my feelings, reminding myself that we needed to be in control of Elena. In the shadows of the corridor, I faced the conflict between my instincts and the need to be careful—a battle shaping the strange connection we were building with her.
Anthony GothamMy body felt like it had been dragged through boiling concrete as I slashed repeatedly at Alfred’s humped beast.How long had we been at it? Circling each other on the gritty floor like prey?It felt like hours since I had left Elena safely in the bunkers with the other palace elite and we had managed to keep the rest of the beasts at bay.“Come on and give up already Anthony. You're not going to get very far,” Alfred hissed and rage sputtered inside me as I charged at him again, refusing to look back when Michael’s enraged bellow tore through the space and the ground shook heavily.Everything seemed to happen at lightning speed when I caught the Cove general glancing behind him, knowing it was the split second I needed before I lurched forward, raking my claws across his neck and watching his eyes bulge freakishly when he stared back at me.“Die, you filthy traitor,” I sneered as he clutched desperately at the thin line of blood that spread and puckered grossly until h
Queen Elena Gotham“Bloody hell, are they fucking trying to wake the dead?” The man’s voice in my ear growled and I tried to bite down on the laugh that bubbled up inside me.The noisy grind of saws and breaking concrete made me screw my eyes open with a satisfied yawn and my lips formed a smile at Michael’s husky voice.“Good morning my love-” Anthony growled before pressing his lips to my head, the amusement twinkling in his eyes as I blushed furiously, untangling my body from their twinned limbs.It had been almost three weeks since the war and the birth of our son, Aiden Gotham, and Carla’s daughter Yulga.Anthony and Michael had moved me fully into their grand chambers and Gotham’s rebuilding was slowly coming together, with double the size of the men and cannons we had before.“Your Highnesses! The royal mistress’ carriage is ready,” A guard’s voice boomed in the hallway and my shoulders tensed immediately as I sucked in a breath.Shit, I had almost forgotten we were supposed t
Michael GothamAdrenaline shot through my body like liquid dynamite and I knew deep inside me part of it had to be the curse working.It felt like a rift was opening in my head as my wolf shifted into place, my muscles bulging until there were plate-sized grooves in my shoulders and biceps before I charged at the flood of beasts, taking out a decent chunk of them by swinging my long sharp claws in a messy arc.“Who dares to invade Gotham?” I roared at the beast’s approaching and the frail line of guards between us with their shields up. Fuck, with most of our firepower soldiers injured I knew the string of guards would be no match for the colossal beasts that were pounding their way towards us with thick white drool dragging at the corners of their mouths.“Markov! Eyes on the gates! We need to stop that thing from getting any closer!” I thundered at the gaunt wolf who flashed his fangs in understanding, knocking down more the the beasts when they got too close.I flew at the beast a
ANTHONY GOTHAM“What the fuck was that?” Michael’s harsh voice rasped and I snapped my head up in time for a woman’s haunting scream echo through the dark woods again.The thick line of blood smeared around Michael’s jaw from the carcass he bit into looked garish with the silvery moonlight beating down on us between the thick pine trees.What the hell was any woman doing out here by this time?And why the hell did it sound so familiar? A bolt of unease rips through my gut when the woman’s screams comes again, closer...more desperate.My feet are moving before I can stop myself just as I hear Michael curse behind me before his heavy footfalls tear through the space.The sight of a large beast on top of the red-haired woman made a bellow break from my throat as I watched the Cove beast’s eyes snap up before he flashed his fangs at me and disappeared.Those eyes…shit! Alfred? “Are you okay Carla? Bloody hell, what the fuck were you thinking coming up here by this time?” I roared, cuppin
Carla WinehouseMy belly felt like a volcano pit about to erupt as I glared down at the dark-haired woman who watched me back with a stony expression on her face.“You are not allowed in my chambers, Carla Winehouse, how many times do I have to say it for it to get through to your thick skull-” Elena spat acidly, her bright grey eyes narrowing dangerously as I fought to keep the shock from showing on my face.My heart started its harsh mechanical grinding in my chest and it was all I could do to keep from leaping at her.Who the hell did she think she was?I stalked toward her slowly, waiting until I was only inches from her stupid perfect face to snap my claws around her neck, surprised when her hands shot up to squeeze my arms.“Just because you’ve been away for however long you have Elena, doesn't mean that anything’s changed in this palace,” I growled, tightening my claws around her neck before flicking her wrist away when she beat at my chest and shoved her into the wall.The rag
Michael GothamMy mouth tasted like a rat had curled up and died in it when I came to.“Michael? Can you hear me?” The rogue’s scratchy voice made me drop my fangs instinctively.Just how close was the motherfucker to me? Bloody hell if I didn't know any better I'd have sworn he had a crush on me or something!My eyes rolled around in my head before I dared to open them, the black pinhole of my vision slightly easing as I glanced around the dark room and realized I was hissing.What the hell was up with that?My veins felt like they were filled with molten lava and it was all I could do not to claw at the beautiful woman that strutted into the room only minutes after.“Could you get me more of this Markov? Please?” I whispered when he hesitated, still cradling Elena in my arms and watching his gaze flickered between the two of us before he snatched the blood bag from my hands, muttering curse words under his breath.“I'm not your fucking butler Gotham, get your own fucking blood next
