"Sophie, can you stop pacing around?" Sage complained. He looked around and rolled his eyes at the woman. "You are giving me a headache, and please stop thinking, or maybe shield your mind; you are making me crazy.""Seriously? You want me to not think?" She groaned, "What do you want me to do, stare blankly in the ceiling like some crazy person? Of course I think so. I think when I'm nervous.""What the hell are you nervous about?""Because I can't see a vision... not even a hint.""Well, thank the gods for that."Sophie knitted her brow before saying, "What the hell do you mean by that?""Sophie, it's not time for you to have vision, or else we’ll end up attracting demons." "Oh! Okay!""Now, stop pacing around.""Why are you such a dickhead, Sage? How could I stop worrying when everything has been crazy? No vision? And may I remind you to stop reading my mind again?"What a dick. Sinfully hot dick! She thought to herself.An ass too. One moment he was making her cum, eating her like
Landon now remembered something: the attack, the ambush; someone kidnapped them on the farm and tortured them; his mate... Cherryl was hurt. She was bleeding. Dying.God. What happened to us?This is all my fault.He became the pawn; it was a demon with a bull mask that he remembered... Then something happened. He was sucked into darkness and... nothing. He woke up alone, naked in the dark mountain... Three hundred years from the past.Rogues tortured him to death and left him tied upside down on the tree for the vultures of the woods to finish him. Yet, here he was, alive and somehow on the edge of his sanity. Was he dead?Is this hell? He thought to himself."Help! It's painful, help!" He grumbled, and someone grabbed his hands and offered him some soothing words and mysterious promises. Magical warmth soothed his mind."Landon, it's me, Sophie. Are you okay? What happened? Do you remember me?" Someone asked him in total panic.Sophie?Sophie Savannah?His ex-fiancee?He urged in sh
Sophie was just listening to their conversation and getting lost in the different voices of her ex-fiance.Where the hell was her sister, Cherryl? Was it possible that she came with him too?Landon sounded like he came from the dead. He sounded so sad and lonely. She wanted to hug him, and offered him a warm embrace to soothe his fears and worries."Do not hug him, Sophie, nor are you allowed to touch him." A voice whispered in her mind."Sage, I told you to stop reading my mind.""And I told you, I'll kill him if he hurts you in any way, so choose carefully." The voice mumbled back; it was like daring her to do so. `"Jerk." She groaned, "He couldn't hurt me; I'll make sure of that, and you said he'd been enchanted, right?""Yes, cursed too, but you still have to be careful. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean."A few minutes later, after yet another meal from Landon, he began to talk. "Luna Sophie, my deepest apology for not remembering you, but I have never seen you before, and
Sophie began to pace in the garden a few hours later, and questions upon questions lingered in her mind. Dammit, what if he landed somewhere instead of where Landon's body had been placed? What if he— God, worrying this much made her brain ache? She thought, what if he couldn't control his landing? What if he ended up in a different future, or maybe even further in the past? She was worried, and the anticipation of asking him about his feelings for her made her anxious, but she knew better to learn how to wait with patience to feel real happiness. In that split second before he kissed her and touched hers, every nerve in her body and brain was electrified. It was like the anticipation of being together in a way that's more than words, in a way that's so completely tangible. And how the hell did he now mention to Eve how he cared for her?She was nervous and knew that when she was about to do something big, and so these emotions have become markers for her to find her bravery to go. H
"Yes, Father." Elizabeth replied dutifully and escorted her father to the salon, but discreetly, her mind was already roaming into incredibly unwomanly places. Ideas of the bulges in men's breeches... As soon as her father was distracted by other visitors, she'd be pursuing some fun of her own. Her mind wandered back to last month, when she'd persuaded a nice Spanish authority, ten years her senior, and the explanation for her getting expelled from the school of girls. Elizabeth wrote of what occurred in her personal journal, which she kept secret in a private trunk in the wall panel of her bedchamber, and remembered what she wrote:'And so, I oversaw the good and fine officer by hand to the dainty horse stable behind the school. It was my first time interfering with an older man, and finally, here I was, guiding the way and him like an obedient helper. Oh, but what heaven! He discarded his cap, dagger wrap, and black jacket uniform, which, being wool, was huge and thick.In my hands,
Elizabeth smiled at the alpha and said, "I'm enjoying the soup too. But I think I desire some meat and two vegetables." She bit her lips and moistened them, then winked at him.Alpha Henry growled, "Ah, well, I believe your father said the main course is beef steak served with potatoes and mixed vegetables.""Yes, indeed. Oh dear, I almost forgot!" Elizabeth answered, slowly skidding her hand across his thick thigh and pinching gently.Alpha Henry glanced down and then at her. She smiled back and began kneading his inner thigh very gently. He cleared his throat and furrowed his brows. She mumbled nothing, but proceeded slowly, caressing and striding closer to that gem she needed to stroke most of all."Are you pursuing some unknown hard settlement in the kingdom with that interested hand of yours, my sweet?" he murmured."Oh, my lord. There is an outstanding spot I would very much like to explore, if I may be authorized to do so, if I may be so courageous as to desire approval from yo
"Woman! You are not on the floor like we have told you to be!" The angry man shouted, and she tried to be nice, but it was difficult when speaking to rubber with a blade pointed at her. She attempted to smile, but instead scowled at the masked man. "I'm on the floor," Elizabeth announced."Your knees are not even touching the floor; I will kill you if you do not get on the floor the way that the others are. Believe me, I'm not kidding around with young women!" The man shouted in a croaky voice, pointing swords towards her. "Wait... you are Elizabeth, right? Alpha's Jefferson's eldest daughter?" The man asked, while a blade was pointed at her neck, if somehow Alpha Henry was unconscious, presumably from too much water with wolfsbane.Elizabeth pursed her lips, looking at the unconscious Alpha. She wanted to punch this man right in the face. Within a second, a surge of anger flowed through her veins and sent warm feelings through her hands. She was hungry and cranky and not in the mood
"Yes, and even Alpha Jefferson as well. I believe their drinks have been infused with wolfsbane. But I fear for the young Elizabeth. She was kidnapped. It seems like she was the target. I am not certain, but I'll find out soon enough.""Then we should inform Tomas about it. After all, he..." Eve trailed off and looked at the unconscious Tomas. With her worry, she knows there must be balance. It was keeping them safe or too safe right? They must be safe enough to live well and fight this war all over again. There must not be so much safety that necessary risks cannot happen. Trust in themselves in these matters."Yes, I believe he has the right to know, and on my way here I saw hunters and werewolves attack. I guess the hunters were all relentless about it.""That is not news to be taken lightly, Raymond. We have to inform the rest.""Yes. I have to agree with you, Eve. Where is Luna Sophie?" He looked around. "You didn't lose her, right?""Of course not, Raymond. Alpha Sage will kill
