I clenched my fists behind my back, my jaw tightening. I couldn’t tell them the truth—not yet. If they knew it was the Rogues, panic would spread like wildfire, and fear would make them reckless.“We don’t know yet,” I said, my voice firm. “But we are investigating. Until we find out who is responsible, precautions must be taken.”More whispers broke out, questions and speculation rising like a tide. I raised a hand, and the room fell silent once more.“For now,” I continued, “children—especially those who haven’t bloomed yet—must be protected. Older pack members will be responsible for watching over them. Parents, keep your young ones close. Do not let them wander alone.”I let my gaze sweep over the crowd, ensuring that every word sank in.“Use the highways,” I said. “Avoid the woods. No one is to travel alone. Groups and packs only. If we follow these rules, the perpetrator will have nowhere to hide.”“But what if it happens again?” a woman asked, clutching a small child to her ches
My stomach churned, and I looked away, unable to meet his gaze.“This might be your chance to go home, Daisy,” he said gently. “Back to your people.”I swallowed hard, my throat tightening. Home. The word felt foreign now, like a place I’d been away from for too long.“I’ll think about it,” I said finally, my voice shaking slightly.Wikh nodded, standing as he gathered the supplies. “That’s all I ask.”As he left, I sat there in silence, my mind spinning with possibilities and fears.Could I really do it? Could I really use myself as a tool to end this war?And more importantly, would Aiden even listen?The wardrobe creaked softly as I slid it open, my fingers brushing over the fabric of the peach-colored dress I’d spotted earlier. It wasn’t much—short, simple—but it was far more flattering than the worn clothes I usually wore. When I held it up against my skin, the soft color seemed to brighten me, making me feel... different.I slipped into the dress, the hem brushing mid-thigh, and
Wikh cleared his throat, his unease evident. “We need to consider a different approach. The Rogues aren’t like the other enemies you’ve faced. They’re unpredictable, relentless, and they’ve already sent their message with Coby’s death. If we don’t act soon, more blood will be spilled.”I raised an eyebrow, a bitter laugh escaping me. “And what exactly do you propose, Beta? That I bow to them? That I roll around on the ground asking for mercy?”“No,” Wikh said firmly, though his gaze faltered. “But we need to think strategically. A negotiation meeting could prevent this from escalating.”I barked out a laugh, standing abruptly. “What about a tea party as well? Maybe grab some cookies, hold hands and sing kumbaya. I must have made a mistake when I chose you as my Beta if this is the kind of weakness you bring to my table.”“It’s not weakness,” Wikh argued, his voice rising slightly. “It’s logic. A chance to stop this bloodshed before it consumes us all.”“I’ve fought wars for over a hund
Daisy's POVThe room was silent except for the faint sound of my breathing. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my hands as last night’s humiliation replayed in my mind.Aiden’s words had been sharp, deliberate, and they’d cut through me like a blade. You’re a slave. I send for you—not the other way around.He was right. No matter how much I wanted to deny it, he was absolutely right. I was just a slave, and I’d overstepped. Offering myself to him had been foolish, desperate. Worse, I had done it to manipulate him into giving me what I wanted.But the most twisted part? I hadn’t hated the idea.Aiden had been my first—something I’d never intended but had long since accepted. The way he touched me, the way his presence consumed me, it was nothing like I had imagined intimacy would be. Back in the BloodMoon pack, Lena and I used to sneak around to watch men mate with their wolf partners, giggling and making crude jokes about the awkwardness of it all.But Aiden? There was nothing aw
I stepped in, keeping my head high even as my stomach churned. Aiden stood near his desk, his broad shoulders tense, his piercing eyes locking onto mine the moment I walked in.For a moment, he said nothing, his gaze sweeping over me before landing on my bandaged hands. His jaw tightened, and I could see the fury building in his expression.“What happened to your hands?” he demanded, his voice like a growl.I hesitated, trying to find the words, but nothing came.“Leon!” he barked, his voice echoing through the room.The door opened almost immediately, and Leon stepped in, his expression neutral but his posture defensive.“Didn’t I tell you to explain the rules to her?” Aiden asked, his tone sharp.“I did,” Leon replied, his voice calm. “But I also warned you she’s stubborn. She went against me and decided to work anyway.”Aiden’s glare darkened as he dismissed Leon with a curt wave of his hand. The door closed behind him, leaving me alone with the Alpha.He turned his attention back t
I felt my face redden as my face fell. He lifted my chin up with a hand, the other trailing down my stomach before reaching between my thighs. "Don't worry. It's not just that. It appears, little kitty," Why does he keep calling me that? "You're so wet for me. Did you enjoy being punished that bad? I wasn't aware you were this naughty. Is this what your siblings taught you?"Now, damn him for mentioning my family members. The same one he killed. But he rose above me, taking strands of hair off my sweating face. "Did they teach you how to be a dirty slut?" He said, voice lowering. My face reddened in both anger and something pleasurable, to my surprise. "Is that why you came to my room that night?""I was trying to help you see things you couldn't see about your pack since you were blind!" I retorted, not caring what he would do to me. Apparently, it worked. Or it didn't. Because he grabbed my hair, yanking it backwards before speaking. "You still haven't learned your lesson. We
I growled and came into her warm mouth. It wasn't short or brief. It took a damn long time when I thought my muscles would cramp up before it finally stopped. "Fuck!" I said, breathing heavily, before fluttering my eyes open to see Daisy still kneeling before me. Some of my seed juice dripped down her lips as she knelt there looking like she didn't just snatch my soul out my body. She looked so innocent. So delicate. I thought as I watched her. But I snapped myself out of my thoughts. It would be dangerous getting carried away like this.But I wasn't done with her yet. Not when she had just made me act like I'd never done with any of the women before. This was a punishment for her not for me. I pulled her and threw her on the bed. I looked at her frail body try to escape, her hands fighting the belt. But there was no escape. "I wish you'd just stop fighting this." I drawled, running a finger under my nose. I leaned over her but something unbelievable happened. Something I belie
The shadows shifted, and then he stepped into the faint light. Wikh. His sharp features softened as he saw me, and my knees almost buckled at the wave of emotions his presence stirred.He didn’t speak right away, just closed the distance between us and, to my surprise, pulled me into his arms. "Are you okay?"For a moment, I stiffened, unsure of how to respond. But then the thought of everything that had gone wrong crashed down, and I buried my face in his chest, my tears spilling freely.“It’s okay,” Wikh murmured, his hand running down my back in slow, steady motions.“No, it’s not,” I whispered, my voice breaking.We stood there for what felt like an eternity before he finally pulled back, his hands resting lightly on my shoulders.“He’s still refusing to negotiate, isn’t he?” Wikh asked, his voice quiet.I wiped at my eyes with the sleeve of my jacket. “I didn't ask. Let's just say I don’t care anymore,” I said, though the words felt strange and untrue.Wikh studied me for a momen
"That piece of shit. Where did he get the nerve? I can't believe this." I am considerably calmed after a few moments of Edwina rocking and pacifying me as I cried to my heart's content, but Edwina is just getting riled up after I told her about Lucian and Morgana and his excuse for what he was doing with her. It is way past midnight, we should both be asleep, we have an early morning combat class and I have found that getting a good night sleep the night before helps when you get your back slammed against the hard mat by a stronger opponent or when the combat instructor, Lt. Victor Lagraine yells in your face about being weak and useless and liable to die before amounting to anything or being able to call forth your wolf to protect you if needed. Lt. Lagraine has a metal eye in place of his left eye, it is an awful thing to have shoved close to your face when he is raging, which is almost always, it is like he hates us or himself, I am not sure which. It is likely to be born, Lagrai
I scoffed. “What the hell are you talking about? I did nothing of the sort.”“Then why are you-”“You must be mad to think I’m worried about her, Asper. If the plan goes to naught because of her incompetence, I'll have to work twice as hard to find Aaren. That's why I sound worried, idiot!” There was silence on the other end for a moment, then I heard him laughing.“Sure,” he said when his laughter ceased. “I absolutely believe you.”Then the call ended. I stared at the phone in my hand for a moment, wanting to crush it in anger, but instead tossed it onto the passenger seat.Fucking Asper, thinking he could read me. Who the hell did he think he was?And where the hell was Daisy?! I sat, fuming, trying to steady my breathing, when loud bangs resounded in quick succession. It took a millisecond for me to figure out that they were gunshots, and before long I had switched the engine on, turned the car around, and was speeding down the hill. As soon as I killed the engine at the botto
“Excuse me, please,” I replied, finally able to pass through.After a few more unsavory interactions, I arrived at the bar, and was beyond annoyed to find that there’d been another entrance on that side which would have prevented me from the catastrophe I'd just encountered. I resisted the urge to groan as I slumped into a chair in front of the bar counter and closed my eyes.“A glass of whiskey, please.”The bartender laughed when he heard my voice. “Well, don't you look lovely.”I opened my eyes and looked tiredly at him. “I just fought my way through a crowd of horny men. I'm permitted to look this way, don't you think?”“You are, you are,” he responded with a chuckle as he opened up a bottle before me. “But don't you think whiskey is a bit too much?”I scoffed, accepting the glass he filled and handed to me. “Not at all. In fact, I'm just feeling out of it today. I should have ordered vodka.”What the hell was wrong with me? Where was the cute Daisy who loathed the concept of alco
“Of course it is. It's mine.” That was the only thing he said to me before leaving the house. He was out for a long time, and though I tried to distract myself with chores and television, I found myself yearning for his presence, for his touch…I shook my head. I had to suck it up. With that thought, I stood and went to the kitchen, before looking through the refrigerator for ingredients. If I was going to be bored, I might as well do something with my boredom.I chopped onions while humming a happy tune, and slid them into a pot of boiling water. I danced around the kitchen, singing and cooking at the same time, and was having a good time when I heard the door slam.Minutes later, Aiden was leaning on the doorpost, looking at me expressionlessly. “What are you doing?”“I'm making dinner,” I explained, lifting the spoon in my hand and smiling at him. “I thought you might be hungry.”He cocked a brow. “Really now?” I dropped my hand, hiding my disappointment. “Oh…you're not hungry?
He looked around and after ensuring that no one was looking, he nodded gently at Aaren and led him to another part of the club. They passed through two doors on their way until they finally got to a more quiet place. The din of the music coming from the main area of the club could still be heard but it was quite faint. Aaren explained everything he wanted to Charles and when he was done, Charles gave him a careful look then he sighed and said, “is that all? You only need my services to win other packs to your side?”“Yes. That's all,” Aaren replied simply.“But you realize who you're going up against, right? Alpha Aiden is the most feared person anywhere and anyone that falls into his bad graces is going to regret their existence. What if you fail?”“I won't. Not if I get your support,” Aaren said.Charles knew he was trying to butter him up but he wasn't buying it. “Yeah, nice try,” he scoffed. “My support is only going to help you get people to your side. The direction the war takes
They looked like a tough crowd but he didn't think he was going to have any issues with them. Parking his car, he alighted from it and stood beside it, observing the group from a distance. After a while, one of them noticed him and after he informed the others, they took turns stealing glances at him. Aaren smiled as they did that. They suddenly didn't seem as bright as he'd assumed but he still intended to get what he wanted from them. He waited for a few more seconds then he crossed the road and approached the group.Immediately they saw that, they stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on him. “Hey there, fellas,” he said when got to them. “I'm looking for someone and I feel you can help me find him.”“Bugger off,” one of them replied with hostility. He'd been the first to spot Aaren and he looked so aggressive that Aaren considered doing what he said for a few minutes. But as he looked around at the others, he noticed that they didn't really seem united and he
It was around ten in the morning when she finally woke up and after greeting me, she apologized for oversleeping. From the look in her eyes, I could tell that she was expecting some form of punishment but I told her it was fine and dismissed her to her room. After she left, I had my bath and put on fresh clothes.I had a meeting scheduled with Asper around noon and when it was time, I headed to my office and waited there for him. There was a knock on the door not long after and the door opened immediately afterwards. Asper's imposing figure stepped into the room and he cast a casual glance around before his eyes finally settled on me. I gestured to the empty chair in front of my desk and he grimaced before moving to sit in the chair. He looked refreshed and relaxed, happy even, and I was certain that I knew something that must have contributed to that.“Where's your plaything?” He asked, looking around the office again as if he expected to see her hiding in one corner that he might ha
“Not so fast,” I said to her. “Take my cock.”She obeyed and gaze lingered on mine, obviously waiting for me to tell her what to do next. “Suck me, but start slow. Use your tongue too.”Like a good girl, she nodded and fell to her knees in front of me, taking my cock in her mouth. My brain vibrated with pleasure as her soft lips caressed me and I grabbed her head and held on to it as she moved her head back and forth while sucking me. She was so good at it that I was unable to stop myself from groaning and when I sensed that I was going to cum, I pulled away from her, breathing heavily. I helped her to her feet and after removing the clamp, I made her turn around and sprawl over the desk. I grabbed one of her legs and raised it up until it was resting on the desk, exposing her opening to me. I put my cock against her wet center caressing it gently and she moaned softly in response. Pleasure vibrated through me as I continued playing with her pussy with the tip of my cock. I continued
He noticed Asper and I looking at them, and at the same time, he increased the pace and power of his thrusts. Asper grimaced and his fingers suddenly started moving inside me again. His other hand fondled my breast, squeezing and caressing them one after the other, and a third finger joined the two he already had playing around in my pussy. My head went light from the pleasure and I felt a fiery sensation coursing through my veins. Asper’s fingers did wonders to me, nearly blowing my mind out but nothing prepared me for his cock as it rammed into me without warning. My eyes opened of their own accord as I gasped from the pleasure that accompanied his opening thrust. Then he started gliding in and out of me slowly, my moist pleasure center making it very convenient for him. He leaned over me completely, then the intensity of his thrusts increased as he placed his hands on either side of my head to brace himself. My moans were uncontrollable as he rammed into me mercilessly, and it beca
