A flicker of hurt crossed Malik's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He stepped back, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. I spared a quick glance at Chase, and the anger simmering in his gaze told me he shared my frustration, yet he remained silent.Turning my attention back to Tyler, I shielded my emotions as best as I could. The three men I had loved in this world were now gathered in this room, and my instincts screamed that the situation was bound to end in turmoil."Sure thing, but we gotta be real quick about it, you know? Your arrival just so happens to line up with the black moon, and honestly, that's the only shot we've got for any kind of impact. It requires some dark moon magic and, well, getting intimate." I looked him straight in the eye, holding his gaze, letting him search for the truth behind my words. Little did he know, getting involved with him would put me in way more danger than he could ever imagine. "But let me tell ya, it's a seriously long s
TylerI narrowed my eyes, my gaze fixated on Isabelle as she whispered with her imposing bodyguard, positioned partway down the hallway. Memories flooded back from our college days. I vividly recalled seeing him tailing her around campus like an obedient puppy—or perhaps more accurately, a ferocious pit bull, ready to lash out at anyone who dared to come too close.She had insisted on keeping our relationship hidden, and I had chosen not to push for further disclosure. I was barely twenty years old back then, and I had encountered a young woman with an insatiable appetite for sex and a penchant for venturing into daring territories. To be frank, she was an absolute marvel between the sheets. In my eyes, I had believed I had stumbled upon paradise.Until everything unraveled, descending into chaos and turmoil.Thanks to the savage bite that damn woman had inflicted on me during our final encounter, I had heard every word they uttered crystal clear.

"Where are we headed?" I queried, my curiosity piqued."Into the woods, where we can find some seclusion. But don't be foolish enough to believe that we will be entirely alone. I managed to instruct Malik and Chase to stay behind, but they will remain within proximity," she cautioned."You prefer not to indulge in the comfort of a bed?" I probed, hoping for a glimmer of insight.She paid no heed to my remark, brushing it off with silence.Eager to catch up with her stride, I quickened my pace, closing the distance between us. "So, what's the rationale behind the double bodyguards? Is being the alpha of a pack situated in the heart of nowhere truly that treacherous?""They're not exactly my bodyguards. Well, Chase plays that role to some extent, but Malik is my newfound mate, and he's far from pleased that you disrupted our mating ritual," she revealed, her words piercing through me like scorching flames, igniting a blaze of jealousy within my core.He's mine."What the fuck? You have
Isabelle’s Point Of ViewAs the flames of desire consumed my body, I fervently kissed and sucked on Tyler's shoulder, desperately clinging to the shreds of control amidst the overwhelming intensity of the black-moon ritual. The previous encounters paled in comparison to this moment, where the stakes were higher and the risks more imminent. It was crucial for me to maintain a delicate balance between exerting my dominance over Tyler while safeguarding both of us from potential harm.Yet, the burning sensation inside me raged on, relentless and insatiable. The longing to be fully claimed by him, to experience the union of our bodies in its entirety, threatened to overpower any semblance of restraint I possessed. The yearning for his knot, a primal desire etched deep within my core, consumed my thoughts.I increased the suction on his shoulder, drawing him deeper into me, and with a reckless abandon, I forcefully impaled myself upon him. Our bodies moved in a frenzied tempo, a symphony o
I struggled to regain consciousness, battling against the heaviness that weighed me down. Gradually, I began to resurface, my senses slowly awakening. Even before I could pry open my eyes, the rough texture of fabric grazed against my sensitive skin, eliciting a groan that escaped into the depths of the blanket.With great effort, I mustered the strength to move my arms and cast aside the offending cover. Cool air rushed over my fevered skin, and though every muscle protested with soreness, I pushed through the discomfort. What on earth had transpired?"It's good to see you finally awake," Malik's composed voice reached my ears, breaching the remaining barriers of my consciousness. I cautiously peeled open one eye, adjusting to the brightness that flooded the room.My dry throat hindered my ability to respond, and damn, that sunlight pouring through the window was blinding. "Here. I'm sure you need this," he said, handing me a bottle of water. Grateful, I eagerly accepted it, squintin
"I appreciate your preparations and understanding," I replied, my voice tinged with a hint of skepticism. "But what if I chose a different path? What if I didn't comply?"Malik's eyes held a mix of determination and concern. "Isabelle, we both know the consequences of defying your father. It would only escalate matters further. Let's focus on navigating this situation together and finding the best way forward.""If you didn't comply, I would have forcefully deposited you in the tub, turning off the heated jets," Malik remarked with a playful smirk. Despite the weight of the situation, his lighthearted comment managed to elicit a smile from me.His words resonated with a sense of familiarity, reaffirming our connection. Following him into the expansive primary bathroom, I couldn't help but be drawn to the allure of the oversized sunken tub. The anticipation of the hot, swirling jets promising relief to my aching muscles made it an enticing prospect. Moreover, the prolonged soak would g

He opened his palm, unveiling his own selection - a red-black obsidian. Suppressing a grin, I clamped my teeth onto my lower lip, determined not to burst into laughter. With a purposeful gesture, he dropped the stone into the fire, resulting in a series of lively pops and hisses that persisted for several minutes, until the ensuing plume of smoke ascended and enveloped us.However, I could no longer contain my amusement, and it erupted in a peal of laughter that nearly brought tears to my eyes. Malik, baffled by my reaction, demanded to know the cause of my amusement. But his perplexed expression only served to heighten my mirth, causing me to clutch my sides as I continued to giggle uncontrollably. Eventually, after several minutes of laughter interspersed with gasps for breath, I managed to regain some composure and stood before Malik."The stone he chose signifies virility and stamina to some extent," I finally managed to explain amidst my lingering amusement."Well, someone ought

Isabelle’s Point of ViewAfter three and a half weeks had passed...Chase turned to me with an inquisitive look and asked, "Are you all set?"I nodded and took a deep breath, allowing the warm, crisp night air to fill my lungs. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of pack activities, tangled up with stress and guilt. However, tonight marked a fresh beginning for all of us. If we could tap into the enchantment of the dark moon, we aimed to free ourselves from some of our troubles and embark on a rejuvenating journey."I must admit," I said, parting my cloak carefully and letting it gracefully fall to the ground, "the potency of tonight's ritual may not match that of a black moon night."Chase, following my lead, pushed aside his loose pants and kicked them to the side. "It's not just about the strength of the magic," he replied, "it's the significance we invest in it."Malik laughed heartily at the sight of both of us. "You two sure seem excited, and I can't say I blame you," he rem
With deliberate slowness, Gabriel inclined his head, baring his neck in a display of submission. Although he appeared to acquiesce, a sneer of defiance lingered on his face, rendering his gesture hollow and seemingly too late. Tradition and pack rule dictated that I accept his submission, yet my instincts craved something more.A wicked grin crept across my face, an unspoken promise of indulgence. While protocol demanded compliance, I saw no reason not to have a little fun first. After all, if he had dared to challenge me, then he must bear the consequences of his actions.I yearned for everyone to witness his surrender, to acknowledge his defeat in front of the entire pack. Drawing closer, I felt the warmth of my breath against his skin, knowing that the pulse in his neck throbbed tantalizingly close to my lips. It would require just a fleeting moment to unleash the full fury of the wolf and end his life, erasing him from existence once and for all. It was not only about avenging Tyl
A guttural growl erupted from deep within me, my anger directed straight at my father, the frustration and resentment boiling over. I had reached my limit, having endured enough from all of them, especially him. "I'm done with you, old man," I declared fiercely, my words dripping with a mixture of defiance and pain. "I've pleaded, obeyed, and contorted myself to fit whatever mold you required of me. And for what? So you and your cronies could challenge me at the first hint of trouble?" My bitterness poured out as I spoke, my frustration palpable. With those words of defiance still hanging in the air, I turned away from him, refusing to let his presence and betrayal consume me any longer. The weight of their expectations and demands had become unbearable, and I vowed to break free from their suffocating hold. "And now, turning to you," I gestured fiercely towards Gabriel, still lounging nonchalantly in the corner, "you've dared to issue a challenge, so let's settle this right here an
Isabelle’s Point of ViewI cradled Tyler's head gently, lifting him onto my lap, a surge of emotions overwhelming me. The past few days had been a tumultuous rollercoaster, and the idea that it might culminate like this made me feel physically sick. My own knife embedded in his chest, and him bleeding out on the floor of my cabin—it was an unimaginable nightmare."I'm really sorry for what I did to you back then," Tyler's voice came out as a wheeze, his breath labored."Shut up. Save it for when you get better," I replied, my heart breaking at the sight of his weakened state.But he insisted on speaking his mind, knowing that these words held great significance at this critical juncture. "Gotta say it now, and you know it," he whispered with determination.In response, I felt the weight of my own guilt weighing heavily upon me, my voice filled with regret. "Then I should be the one apologizing. None of this would have happened if I hadn't bitten you that night. I was so foolish," I ad
As the minutes ticked by, Tyler's restlessness increased, and I knew it wouldn't be long before the sedative wore off completely. The anticipation of what was to come filled me with both dread and determination. We were all in this together, and no matter the challenges that lay ahead, I was resolved to face them head-on. Tyler needed us now more than ever, and I wouldn't let him down again.His skin had taken on a bronzed sheen, glistening with beads of sweat. Despite the slight changes in his appearance, such as the additional hair on his body and the transformation of his facial bone structure, Tyler still retained an undeniably youthful appearance. To me, he had always been one of the most striking human beings I had ever encountered, and that had not changed. My fingers yearned to feel his dark hair, and my desire to trace the curve of his neck with my nose was almost overwhelming. The urge to touch the mark I had once left on him resurfaced, though I knew it was no longer the ti
Isabelle’s Poont of ViewA strong sense of responsibility and an elusive feeling, which I hadn't quite identified, compelled me to descend the stairs. I couldn't ignore the persistent whimpering that echoed in my ears, and it pushed me to seek out Tyler. His desperate need to be close to me spoke volumes about his current state. If he had control over his faculties, he wouldn't be begging for my presence. But something had changed within him.The memory of that painful night resurfaced, catching me off guard and causing my steps to falter. It was the night when he rejected me. Standing in the woods under the rising full moon, I felt a surge of aggression unlike anything before, not realizing that it was the onset of mating heat. Fate had chosen the most inopportune moment to put me to the test, and I had faltered, unable to control the powerful forces at play.Each step I took towards him now, I felt a fresh wave of guilt mingled with anger surging through my core. Witnessing his vuln
"You've got him right where he wants to be, Isabelle. Now, focus on the underside with your tongue while you swallow around him. He's about to explode," I urged.Malik gave a low warning growl, but I paid no attention to it. I knew Malik deserved her full attention when he reached his climax, just as I expected the same when it was my turn. Isabelle skillfully followed my guidance, and Malik's hips bucked violently in response, thrusting forcefully as she pressed back against my erection. I clenched my teeth and took a deep breath, desperately trying to contain the overwhelming sensations coursing through my body with each movement she made.Sweat trickled down my face and chest as Isabelle's moans escalated into muffled cries. Malik's grip on her hair tightened, and he let out a cry of ecstasy as he lost the battle for control, releasing his seed into her eager throat.The anticipation had reached its peak, and without hesitation, I surged the rest of the way inside her, setting off
