Brady’s POVHearing Serenity say all those things made me crumble. I had meant to love and protect. But did the exact opposite. How is it so easy for you to hurt those you love? I thought to myself. I never meant to cause her affliction. Things are not always as they seem, and so many things she doesn’t know are behind the scenes in terms of what’s playing out.I can’t take the chance of seeing her hurt over a mistake I committed years ago. She may hate me for my overbearing attitude, but keeping Serenity safe has remained the center of my actions. Ever since I shifted, I have felt the strong urge to keep her safe, even more so now.A part of me knew already that she was my mate during the wolf shift.It’s common practice to find your mate during the wolf shift. Even if your mate had not shifted then, you could know beforehand.I didn’t just want to admit it then.That’d spoil things.She was supposed to be my sister.To shut the blinds against reality, I met Lottie at the club.She w
Serenity’s POVI was perplexed to hear Brady speak gibberish. Did he think he was talking to a fool or a little child? Did he call this love? How deranged was he? Let’s not mention how he still talks to me like I’m some robotic love interest that must dance to his every tune. Love is a decision.There wasn’t much convincing he could do because I’m not an idiot. I knew he was plummeting my plan, but that could only happen if I believed his bullshit. And from his gesture, he still had more words to say to me.“Let’s sit, and I will open up to you.”I sat reluctantly, impatiently waiting for him to be done with his retarded speech. I’d listen and allow him to explain gibberish.Once he is done, I’d have a lot on my mind to say, too.No way in hell do you abuse someone to protect them. What was his definition of love?As much as I tried to wrap my head around it, it irked me that he was still trying hard to make a fool out of me.Brady grabbed a second duvet and laid it across his lap as
Serenity’s POVAs his lips touched mine, I shivered. Sparks tingled every bit of my flesh. It was unlike anything I’ve felt. But it wasn’t something I wanted to linger on because this bond was a toxic one. As his lips searched my neck, I found myself tilting to the side to allow him access. He was close to marking that spot on my neck. And I didn’t stop him.But he didn't mark me. He only teased me.I’ve waited for you since puppyhood.” He whispers in soft breath against my skin. He was loud enough for me to hear him.My wolf began to respond to his words and I too could feel her cravings and confusion as if it were my own. As I tried to fight the need that was overtaking my senses, he grabbed my neck in a chokehold making me feel like I was a fool for not wanting this. His other free hand began to roam my body.The duvet that had shielded my nakedness slipped from my grasp as the only thing now holding it was Brady’s body pressed to mine. A sound slipped from my lips. Not sure if i
Serenity’s POVMy mind was finding it hard to believe that this was Brady making me feel so good. I let out another moan without meaning to as his third leg ground my ass. I was aching for him.Wetness pooled from my legs as my body prepared for whatever he was going to do with me.The mate bond was so electrical and powerful - it almost felt supernatural. There was nothing I could do to stop myself. Each time his hand touched my body, desire formed in my heart.A part of me knew I’d regret this. Or maybe not. Because I wanted this.My feelings gushed in leaps and bounds; racing towards his touch.Brady’s lips left mine and he replaced it with a finger in my mouth. While I sucked on his finger like a good girl, he stumbled on a nipple and gently squeezed it for invisible milk - licking his lips as he did so.My body responded by sucking eagerly on his finger - imagining it was his hard cock in my mouth.I arched my back; nudging my breasts towards him as I yearned for more than just a
Brady’s POVSerenity’s lips on mine and the different side she unleashed made her all the more beautiful in my eyes. I can never forget how much pleasure it gave me to see her enjoy what I did to her. Her screams were songs to my ears, making me want to divide her ride sea with my rod. But I could not penetrate her just yet. Her body had to get used to this even though it was of utmost concern to me to smash into her slow and sweet.I made the sex all about her and showed her how good I could be to her. I know my efforts won’t be put to waste, especially not after visiting the gym last night and feeling pain in my chest.That pain was not from my physical workout.But from the exercise that ensued between Serenity and Alpha Gavin.I’m not sure how far he went with her.But I saw that the pain was not severe. But still painful; I’m sure they had explored one another, much to my anger and envy.At that moment, I wish I could run in wolf form and kill Alpha Gavin instantly.But I had a b
Serenity’s POVWith water spraying from the shower, guilt washed over me. I wondered how I got here. How could I have been so weak?Why couldn’t I refuse him after much bragging and strategising?That had happened so fast. I was having him touch me and make my body yearn for more.And there was the fact that he was toxic.That he had hurt me so much.But all that seemed to disappear as lust blinded my senses.Again, my mind flashed to Alpha Gavi,n and more guilt flooded my heart.How could I betray him so easily?I’m a typical good girl. But in less than 48 hours of arriving here, I had not thought about my feelings for Alpha Gavin.Does this mean I don’t love him as much as I thought?But I did.My mind races when I think of him like I’m doing now.I raked my fingers through my hair as if scrubbing the confusion to fall off like dandruff from my hair.Why am I so confused?I thought my wolf would rescue me, seeing how she was mentally and physically stronger than me on any other day
Brady’s POVThe amplifying sound of rogues hinted that they had surmounted my Beta and battalion soldiers and tailed us to the cabin. I had been discrete in bringing Serenity here and dousing her scent with some of mine. But they must have been able to detect a masking scent and recognise mine to be a smokescreen.Bentley looked suspicious, and I could tell he had connected the dots. His sixth sense told him I was somehow involved with those rogues.“I think it’s high time you told us about the rogues. Is this a terrorist attack you plan to carry out using those rogues? My intuition keeps telling me you’re connected to those wild animals. It’s a mystery I can’t shake off.” Bentley observes my reaction to his assumption. Reality set in.To protect Serenity, I must tell them what I had been hiding.Before I could say anything, Serenity said, “They came looking for me.” Her voice was laced with fear as she choked on her words.My heart sank, knowing I had brought this upon her.“And why
Brady’s POVWith the added security, no matter how hard they tried or how strongwilled they were, the door was built with the best security measures. It’d take at least an hour to break down such a door.The door to the cabin was an in-built door layered with aluminum alloy and steel plates, featuring four hinges. Steel doors are more challenging to steal down.The glazing was impenetrable, with an added layer of cherry, oak, and mahogany.Serenity and Bentley, whom I thought had escaped, reappeared inside. Did they come up with an attack plan for them to return? She was putting on one of my shirts hung on the wire outside. The shirt looked like a shirt gown on her. Letting go of a beautiful woman such as her made my heart ache. Would I ever see her in my shirt? Would I even have a chance to speak with her once she became another man’s Luna? I froze, forbidding evil thoughts and not wanting to forget the short moment we shared.“Alpha Brady, we know you can hear us. We know you are not
Serenity’s P.O.V.Who would have thought that our last-minute enemy victim would be Bentley - my sweet and loving brother who could not hurt a fly except for justice?What Lucho's bastardity had caused him! What his craziness had cursed us!By now, he was walking towards me, glinting in his eye like he wouldn't hurt me.But soon, his eye colour changed to a deeper orange, and he lifted me above his shoulders - wanting to strike me against the floor."No!" Alpha Cruz aimed for his leg, which caused him to lose balance.I fell with a terrible pain to my ache.With no time to waste, Alpha Cruz landed on me.Bentley picked him up instead, and just when he was about to throw him against the wall, someone shot a poisoned dart at Bentley's carotid sheath on his neck. That meant instantaneous death.I quickly got up, recovering from the shock so Bentley wouldn't fall atop me.Just like that, the bottle-weary war had ended with a poisoned dart.But who had shot it?It never even occurred to m
Serenity's P.O.V.To my shock, Alpha Gavin and his parents had come - alongside Penn and Claudia.“Lucho bastard, you die today!” Alpha Atticus roared at him in his command Alpha tone.Lucho grinned. "I see the whole crew came." "We have heard enough of your tyranny. Enough is enough!" Luna Bella bellowed."Serenity, I'm sorry for ruining your wedding - which gave this bastard the guts to kidnap you…""This is not the time for an apology, Penn!" Claudia whispered, but I could hear her coughing. Claudia then continued, "This is just the right time to finish off this bastard scientist and his psychopath," she said, pointing at Vino.Like the psychopaths they were, Lucho and Vino roared in laughter, tears spilling from the corner of their eyes."But if this is of any comfort, Penn rejected Alpha Gavin." Claudia chipped.At this moment, I couldn't be angry with Penn and Gavin.I was more than glad they had come to the rescue. A greater comfort would be to revive my brother…Even at that,
Serenity's P.O.V.Lucho was still trying to put his words together when a soft knock could be heard on the door.Expecting it to be one of his men, Lucho flung back on his shirt and beckoned on his standing guard to open the door.I had just noticed a third party in that room.He had stood like a silent shadow at the far end of the library corridor - right in Lucho's room.Maybe if I had seen him earlier, I'd have known he wouldn't try making love to me in the presence of his men.Once the door opened, we both were surprised to see who was at the door."Who had let you in without my consent?" Lucho's voice became cold, and his stern gaze could almost command submission from any Alpha except Vino.Alpha Vino - a vile snake.Neither here nor there.He moved like the wind.One couldn't decipher whose side he was on.Rumour had it that he was the only Alpha that made Lucho on edge."I'm here to present you a gift." Alpha Vino said."And what could that be?" He asked, still maintaining a fr
Serenity's POVI woke up in a cosy bed full of sunlight.Immediately, I jerked up from sleep when I saw Lucho lying by my side. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, suddenly noticing I had a new change of clothes."I should be asking you." He retorted. "You sure sleep like a baby." He rather commented."Where is my brother?" "Relax. He is with my cousin right now." He replied, and I eased, but not completely."And what would your cousin do to him?" I became afraid. "Hope you're not going to hurt him." Rather than answer, he got up from the bed and walked over to me. "That depends on your behaviour tonight." He leaned close to my ears, and I tried to move, but he gripped my arms in a loving embrace. "And not just tonight. Always."I gulped while he studied my countenance. "Relax. I've not had a woman in this room for donkey years. Ever since your brother killed my beloved. You look so much like her. And now, I've taken an interest in you. For that, I won’t hurt you. But you mustn
Serenity's POVI had only heard that Lucho was a mad scientist, but I didn't know the extent to which his experiments had gone until I saw something that looked like a giant bird. It mimicked an aeroplane, but it wasn't one.I was too stunned to speak.I was hoping he'd at least shove me inside. Only to see his hands stretched gently to take mine."Come in. I promise I won't hurt you." His voice contrasted with the negative things I'd heard about him. At this moment, he didn't seem evil."I don't want to go with you." I put up a defiant tone. Not so defiant, though.I tried as much as possible to hide my shaky tone."That is not your choice to make. You must come with me if you want the people you love alive." His tone remained gentle, but a rising firmness rose beneath it.I had better not provoke him."What would you do with me? What do you want? Why are you attacking us?" I had a lot of questions for him.I didn't think he'd answer them, but then, I was desperate."Alpha Gavin bro
Serenity's P.O.V.How could he show up when his life was forfeit?What if Alpha Gavin saw him?Why did he have to stir up trouble again?I'm wedding today. He should be far from me if he wants my happiness indeed. Is he here to wreck my wedding? Because that will not work.I became a bit agitated, but I did not let it show. He walked up to me smiling, stretching out a hand. I let him. This would be the last time he would be too close for comfort."You look stunning and peaceful," he complimented me, and I didn't know how to reply, so I just looked at him."I have known you for ages, Serenity. First, as my adopted sister. And then my fated mate. We've been through a lot. You wanted to give us a chance, but I realised it was too late. It's my cross to carry for life, but I'm glad the goddess had favoured you and did not leave you as I did. Alpha Gavin is a great guy, and he loves you to boot. I want you to know that you have my blessing as someone who was once a brother, Serenity. We m
Serenity's P.O.V.Penn readjusted on her seat and continued. "Dick assassination is slang for feasting on his dick like a beastly whore. You feast on him so well that he feels like his soul is leaving his body.""Oh, I see. Make his soul leave his body each time he craves intimacy." I took a quick mental note."This is when you rock your man's dick shamelessly and constantly bring him on edge - not allowing him to release until you permit him. Let me tell you how to edge a man. There are different ways to do that. Including how to use your thumb and forefinger. Are you ready?" Penn asked, and I hurriedly nodded in response. "Get him close to cumming, then squeeze the area between his balls and anus while talking dirty. Then, allow him to rest for at least 1 minu
Serenity's P.O.V."And made me orgasm countless times. He takes his time in bed. But he knows how to discipline me when the occasion calls for it." I told her. I was getting aroused talking about it. But Penn was just getting started."I'm glad you got some good dick. That's a man right there! This night - it'd be your turn to ride him and fuck his brains out. Don't go easy on him…"She started to give advice, and I had to raise my hands to stop her. "Penn, thanks for the jewellery, but we must listen now. Two hours is up…"Instead, Penn cut in, forcing me to sit. "Before we head out, let me coach you a little. You know I'm an expert in this field. I could teach you a lot. Just because a man has fucked you
Serenity's P.O.V.We arrived there, and our attendants were waiting to take Luna Bella's order.Epsom salt, mirrors, and scented oils - all sorts of beauty treats. I knew it would take a while to get me washed up.An omega gave me a special herbal paste on my gum and tongue.After brushing, my teeth got cleaner and whiter than usual.It was beautiful, and I had to ask what was in the herbal paste.I was told it was a mixture of clove, pink salt, cardamom, cinnamon, parasite flusher, and turmeric powder, among other things.I promised myself that I would make it a habit to use thi
