-NIA’S POV-

"You’re finally here," I rasped with a small smile, clearing my throat after hearing how foreign I sounded.

Lykoan stepped forward, entering the room a little more and shutting the door. My eyes watched him carefully. His dull lilac hues stared skeptically.

Using my abdominal muscles, I tried to sit up but was met with searing pain that radiated up my side. The sensation forced a heavy breath and a whimper as I fought against my own body, trying desperately to move.

My side stung and sent a deep pain up my side near my ribs every time I inhaled. Yet I was determined to. I winced as I sat up in the bed, anxiously pulling my silk strands over my shoulders, awaiting him.

The tension built minute by minute as this scenario corners us. My stomach grumbled, moaning in hunger. Then a heart-pounding silence descended.

His lilacs were fixated on my orange orbs. Hurt flashed through his eyes. The outer ends of his eyebrows drooped, and his hands were shaking. He was nervous. Why?

Her timing was totally shit, leaving me shaky and anxious.Our well-needed conversation was disrupted, but I perked up because my stomach rumbled for the food that she brought. Whatever was in that white bowl sure smelled damn good, making me drool.“There she is. My goodness, look at you!” She exclaimed, with a wide grin as she laid eyes on me. “It’s delightful to see you, Nia. I brought my special remedy.”"Sounds yummy. I miss your cooking and I can’t wait to get out of this bed. Feels like I’ve been in this room forever." I smiled back as I looked up at Lykoan who hadn't allowed me to leave this medic room. It was worse than being stuck in a safe house."Don’t worry. You’ll be good as new by the time I’m done taking care of you,” Lucidroa piped. “Just let me know what else I can get you.”"Bring any wine?" I laughed as she took a slow step forward, thinking I would need it aft

You can enter their territory because you have their blood, and no werewolf would be able to cross the vale.”“Kenzie—” Lykoan pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes while his other hand fondled my right hand.However, Kenzie did not stop her smug rambling. “It might take some time, but guess what? We could make it happen.”I tilted my head, listening keenly with brows raised and my face void of emotions. I did not want her to know she was getting to me.With a hand on her waist, the other gesticulated as she spoke. “Rabastan’s RiftDregs Pack is a refuge for hybrids that Lykoan himself created. You could make life there.”“Kenzie—” Lykoan snarled her name, trying to get her to keep her forked tongue behind her teeth!“The point is if you stay here, the overlords will continue to attack this pack, which will make you

In fact, I thought he was expecting it— bracing himself for the final blow.His brows were high and drawn together with pure despair in his eyes, looking at me like I was sentencing him into a pit of loneliness. Curse those blasted lilacs that tend to suck my soul right in.Damn the mate bond. Damn this life. Damn the moon goddess too.Yet, I wanted him. It made that stubborn part of me that repudiated this bond agonize like hammering nails on my heart. I turned my head away to think.Kenzie had the bandage in one hand and rummaged through her medical bag, taking out a syringe that she dropped into her pocket. My eyes widened, and a bile rose in my throat as panic gripped me. After being injected with poison, another needle was the last thing I wanted to see. My stomach clenched and my deep-root

    -NIA’S POV-Lykoan hummed and it vibrated against my chest. My hands strayed up to his hair and I marveled at how soft it was. His tongue intertwined with mine and I tugged on his hair gently.Liquid heat scorched through my veins. We got lost in the pleasure as something ignited in the silence before painfully separating. My cheeks bloomed like roses. I bit my lower lip and glimpsed at the tented bulge under the throw blanket.“Um,” I began, smiling shyly, "You're not like anyone I've ever known, Lykoan.”His face lit up with a beautiful smile. Not a broken smile, a real, lewd one. "And you, Nia, are the most beautiful person I've met. Your light has brought me to the surface of an ocean that I was drowning in."Blushing profusely, I struggled to hold his gaze. "Are you saying that I saved you?"His lilacs twinkled, and his smile grew, and he cupped the side of my face. "I'm saying that you brought me back to life." He cleared his throat. “Now repeat after me.”I nodded.“I, Nia Rava

Her flushed, sexy, sprawled out image lingered in my mind, tugging at my heart to blow the Alpha off and resume our hot session.Knowing I had to take care of business, her plump lips pouted. Red, succulent, and full. Her sad eyes pleaded, clutching to an area of my soul that felt like a broken ceramic. All I wanted to do was stay in the medical room.But a very annoying and determined someone had to show up. After desperately longing to be alone with Nia and making plans to make up for her pain, this asshole had to come and darken my day.“Lykoan!” Jacques roared three times, outraged. “Old Pops, come out! Come out!”Jam-packed with fury, my wolf paced back and forth, huffing out hot puffs of breath. He wanted to permanently disable the uninvited visitor who was causing us to desert our mate. He did not like him raising his voice at us either. He saw it

I want to see where this is going and if she shows him that she’s not a pushover, he’ll have to let her be.” I reasoned, eyeing the man keenly.“I might not be an Alpha-female, but I’m somebody’s daughter and blood runs through my veins too.” Nia’s lush breasts were rising and falling, and she lifted her chin. I sensed some anger bubbling in her. “Without us bottom-feeders, you don’t have a pack to rule. So showing a little more courtesy might do you some good.”A warning echoed in my mind. Jacques’ nostrils flared and he began breathing heavily.To exert my dominance, I squared my shoulders and assumed a power pose in a wide stance, letting Jacques know that if he attacked my curvaceous woman, I would retaliate. He noticed and clenched his jaws as vertical lines formed between his brows.Determined to gain some respect, Nia held her ground and continued with a daring goi

    -NIA’S POV-“Why not today?” I asked Lykoan as he piggybacked with me through the neatly cut backyard of Arrondale.That’s the name of Lykoan's property where the mansion was located. He insisted that I ride him in this uncomfortable position. It was the only way he would let me accompany him to wherever he was going.Apart from that, he smelled so good. My hands rested on top of his broad shoulders, and I kept my nose close to his neck to keep the scent dominantly constant.“You can’t open that bank account until Jacques completes your filing. Your information will be uploaded as an official member on the pack’s server. The banks screen and do their know-your-customer diligence to ensure your membership is validated and approved by the Alpha. So, even though they’ll feel the pack link within you, it’s against protocol to go ahead without the verification,” he told me as he walked past the pool in long quick strides. “I’m sure that will be done after you meet with the Elders.”Similar

I still couldn’t understand what I was supposed to do.My eyes blinked as I racked my brain. I need a helping hand here, Selene. Like maybe some hints and tips for starters.Then I found Lykoan observing my facial expression from his chair. I immediately straightened my face. Acting nonchalant, I avoided his probing lilacs.“Hybrids feast on the DNA of other shifters,” Gawain explained, pulling the needle out of Lykoan’s flesh. “They think that mixing genes by cross-breeding and experiments make them unstoppable—that it’s supposed to gird them with additional abilities.” He sealed the tube with a blue cap. “The truth is combining more than three genes corrupts their DNA, and eventually they break out with diseases. Do you remember ebolipox?”“Yes,” I recalled that nasty disease that wiped out a large variety of people in the neutral territories.“Th

Lykoan's voice was dripping with guilt as he spoke the words and I internally scolded myself for not being more specific with my words. “Was I too rough?”"Oh gosh no. Nothing like that. Everything you did was...amazing.” I admitted softly. I shifted on the bed, wincing as the sheet rubbed against my tender skin. “It’s about something that happened while you went to the Trenchlands."Lykoan's head tilted to the side and he sat up. He shook his head as if he was physically trying to wake himself and become more alert, fighting off his exhaustion so he could focus on my words.He moved to a seated position, reaching down and pulling me until I was basically in his lap with a serious expression on his face."Talk to me," he said with concern in his voice that was comforting and endearing.Lykoan's muscles tense beneath me as he set up a little straighter and a deep scowl settled on his face."Who? Who fucking messed with you?" He snapped, getting w

The sound of him lapping my folds sent shockwaves through my system, heightening my arousal, and thrumming my body awake. His rut was done yesterday and we still haven’t left the room.“Good morning beautiful.” His voice was muffled by the amount of clitoris he held between his lips. His hands had my thighs raised and widely spread, and he gazed at me with a mischievous grin. His eyes were molten and unyielding.A blush crept into my cheeks and my breathing grew uneven as he began working his tongue over my seam. My nipples tightened. My breasts grew heavy with need.“Someone’s in a good mood,” I moaned breathily, helplessly drawing out his name. “Lykoan.”“Very.” Raising his head to meet my bare

His hands pushed each of my arms to the side of my head, sliding along the length of them to intertwine his fingers with mine, pinning my wrists to the ground below me.I braced for impact."Forgive me if this hurts," he swallowed thickly and kissed my jaw before his lips found mine.Then, he began moving, sheathing himself inside of me with powerful thrusts. His drilling hips pushed me further into the grass and dirt with hard, long pumps that somehow seemed to hit new, stimulating spots deep in my center.My walls fluttered around him, and I cried out at the electrifying pulses his penetrations elicited. I couldn't stop the noises that escaped from my throat each time he plunged in, filling me fully."Mine," Lykoan growled possessi

    NIA’S POVLykoan’s pupil dilated pitch black, pulsing with a glowing lilac ring. He went still on top of me with his jaw clamped like it took every ounce of strength to control himself. He angled his head and his eyes drifted down to my lips.“I trust you.” I lay a hand on his chest, hoping he could see the fierce determination in my eyes. "Tomorrow is tomorrow's problem."The sculpted muscles flexed. His heart was thundering like it might burst through his chest, and I felt his hardness throbbing against my slit. It was a hot, steel-like rod that had fully grown, ardently pulsing to enter my lady lake.“Hm..rrrr.” His guttural sounds were a turn on and his predatory gaze stimulated every inch of my skin where they roamed.An uncultivated aura expelled from his pores. His shoulders rose and fell, the movement jerky, a clear sign of his inner struggle with Sultan. Still, he didn't move, like he was talking to his wolf. Probably convincing him to take a step back.“I want this.” I cuppe

    LYKOAN’S POV-“Seriously, Lykoan, get off me.” Nia chuffed out while elbowing me.Although I felt the minor jabs in my ribs, the little movements of her bare ass were stimulating my already rock-hard cock. If I dared to move, it would surely be to hoist up her ass and thrust my dick inside her appealing slick, coated cunt.“Grrr,” I growled in response with Sultan on the surface. I flex my jaws as my fangs elongated. “You're mine.”Every now and then, my bones cracked, beginning the agonizing transformation that I wrestled to intercept and stop to maintain my human form. She didn’t understand that the instant we saw her, Sultan had taken over.Now, as I pinned her soft body with mine on the moist grassy floor of the forest, audible labored breaths escaped me. It was taking everything within me to hold Sultan back.“Argh,” I grunted from my throat, chest heaving. I clamped my teeth together and stiffened my entire being so as not to grind on her.Because she was my mate, her body was r

    NIA’S POV-Not this again.Please not this betrayal again.Lykoan spun to face me, wrenching away from the brunette beauty in the process. She nearly stumbled backward as his shoulder nudged her square in the chest.His body simmered with lust and white-hot possessiveness with eyes dilating to blood-red. His roar shook the ground. “Mine!”My heart tightened and I shook my head.It was too late. I'd already seen them together. The damage had been done.Wild desire shone in his eyes, and his mouth gaped open like he was attempting to explain. No sound came out of his treacherous throat. Even if he did, I wasn't sure I'd be able to hear him above the pounding in my ears.Kenzie moved around him to stand facing me with her back to him. “Jacques has been waiting for you.” Smirking evilly, she tucked her hair strands behind her ear. “Go to him so that Lykoan and I can finish up.”Pain, unlike anything I'd ever experienced before, pierced my chest. It tore through me, ripping away skin and c

    NIA’S POV-Clutching my forehead, a strained groan left my lips. Heat pulsed through every inch of my body, especially between my thighs. My skin felt inflamed.When my eyes snapped open, I realized that sweat dampened my clothes. The night was incredibly hot and tormenting.I felt a searing pain in my heart and I jolted up in bed. Glancing around the room, I didn't see Lykoan anywhere. The gnawing at my heart intensified when I realized he was gone. A pang of loneliness swirled in my chest. Just when I wanted to turn my brain off and relax with him, yet he was not here.Remembering all that happened prior to falling asleep, including me telling him about what Layton and Chase had done, it dawned on me that he must be furious. He had probably gone to Boulderfist to crush their bones to dust.Oh no.Plus, he has yet to tell me how things unfolded in the Trenchlands. I assumed that they had not found Mom.Ignoring the aches, I launched out of the bed barefooted and ventured into the hal

She fell into a lump of sensual curves and glowing skin with splayed-out brunette hair, sated on the rug.“I changed my mind.” He tipped his head up, taking in the heavens with hands wide open, and declared, “The night is too ravenous to discuss sour topics.”Waves of pheromones rose.Groups of horny women huddled on our left and right, observing us, stroking and groping one another as they vied to be noticed and chosen as our next fuck buddy.Dragging my hand backwards through my hair, I seethed, “Stick to the matter at hand and refrain from involving me

All their faces were solemn with concern.I had a plan for retribution on Boulderfist. It was perfect to do it now, but the moon's allure started to wreak havoc on my body and mind, rendering me angry, hot, and dangerously distracted. My blood roared for blood.“Nia is sleeping, and I have two things to deal with,” I said, stopping right in front of them at ground level.Relieved, Kourtney clutched her chest and blew out a long breath. “That's good to hear. She's been locked in that bathroom all day. I'm glad you made her feel better.”“Do you know what else was on that flash drive?” My eyes bounced from one face to the other, analyzing them. “What did her ex do?”Tameka folded her arms. Unwillingness to spill settled in her expression when she replied, “It wasn't pretty, but it's her story to tell.”I
