Leander ignored him and walked over to a nearby wall, mounted with various weapons, and selected a ten-inch blade. He twirled the knife casually between his fingers as he made his way back to Dagger. Without another word, Leander grabbed Dagger's cock with his free hand and held tight. Dagger jolted and pressed his naked butt as far into the wall as he could, trying to wriggle out of the grasp Leander had on his manhood.Oh shit!Flashbacks swam behind my eyelids. Leander's animalistic expression as he threatened Luca. I'd believed then that he was capable of it. Now, I was almost certain I knew what was going to happen.But I couldn't have been more wrong.Because it was so much worse.Never in my wildest nightmares, had I ever imagined what Leander was about to do.Leander's mouth curled into a wicked smirk. "Do you have a preference? Would you prefer if I yank it off or would you rather I sliced it clean?" Leander continued to play with the knife, waiting for his response.Dagger j
Punishment & LoyaltyLeanderNow that I finished with Dagger, my anger partially stated, but not done. I made my way to Hycinth. She looked up at me with wide, shocked eyes.Shocked. But not afraid of what had just happened.That's my strong little mouse, I thought with pride.The Moon had gotten right. She had the fortitude necessary, the internal strength required to be an amazing Luna. Now, I was going to have to find a way to convince her to stay. I wouldn't back out on her deal, but I sure as hell wasn't going to stop fighting for her. I was just going to have to be clever about it, I thought with a smirk, several ideas already floating through my head.But before I got to any of that, I still had business to attend. "Which Wolf told Dagger that he needed to stop because I would kill him for touching you before I got everything I wanted first?"Hycinth looked around the room, studying the many wolves. Before she could identify one, Samuel made his way through the wolves to stand
HYCINTH'S POVI was breathless. Literally. So much had happened and changed over the last few hours. I was reeling, struggling to keep up.Leander dismissed the wolves, but a few remained behind to speak with him. While he chatted with the lingering wolves, I made my way over to Lucky's cell. He'd had a front-row seat to the commotion. I was curious what he thought, but I also knew he wasn't going to be happy with what he'd heard.When I reached him, his intense glowing absinthe eyes belied his casual stance and signature smirk. He breathed, "Wow, Cinn, that was quite some show. I gotta say, after we talked earlier, that particular testosterone-fueled Alpha display was the last thing I expected to see. Wanna catch me up on what the hell happened?""I don't even know where to begin," I exhaled.His gaze turned steel cold. "Why don't you start by telling me what that dick-eating fucker did to you and why you didn't tell me about it before?"I cringed. Yep, he wasn't thrilled. I sighed,
LeanderHycinth and I walked in comfortable silence back to our room. When we entered, my little mouse stopped and snickered as she examined the destruction, eyeballing the bed that was now at quite an angle due to the broken frame. She looked up at me, her lips twitching.I shrugged my shoulders sheepishly. "It couldn't be helped.""Of course not." She nodded solemnly.I raised an eyebrow. "Are you mocking me, little mouse?"She bit her lip to keep from grinning and purred again, "Of course not."I rolled my eyes. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself at my expense.""So now what? Do we sleep on the floor?"I huffed, "Of course not."She giggled. I couldn't help returning her smile. "We'll sleep in one of the guest rooms until ours is repaired. Grab whatever clothes you need for tonight and tomorrow morning."She disappeared into the closet and came out wearing her usual nighttime attire. Sleep shorts and a tight little T-shirt. I bit back a groan as I looked at her slender and athletic
HycinthThe day flew by quickly. After spending most of the morning dress shopping, Leander and I caught lunch at a local Italian restaurant and then headed back for the Announcement Ceremony. I suspected Leander had purposefully kept us away until the very last moment to avoid any more potential drama. When we arrived, Gwen met us at the door and quickly followed us into our temporary room. She waited in a comfy chair while Leander changed clothes in the walk-in closet and I went into the bathroom to get ready. I could hear them talking through the door.Leander's voice was curt, "Stay with her.""I will. Don't worry. I've got this. I won't let anything happen," Gwen assured. "Now get going. We'll meet you down there."I didn't hear him give a response, just the door opening and closing again. It took several more minutes for me to sweep my hair up onto my head, leaving soft tendrils wisping around my face. I didn't apply much makeup. The cut of the dress was so elegant and simple th
LEANDER'S POVI held my little mouse close, tucked under the crook of my arm, splayed fingers applying pressure to her lower spine to keep her exactly where I wanted her-no distance between us, not even an inch. The pert mounds of her breasts pressed against my side, her two hardened nubs, the evidence of her arousal, poking into my chest. Her little hands rested flat against my back and right pectoral muscle. She was a perfect fit tucked under the crook of my arm, her tiny shape molded and created for me, two halves of one whole, just right together.I hadn't anticipated clutching her tightly during the speeches part of the ceremony. Typically, the Alpha and Luna stood next to each other, holding hands. But after the sweet scent of her arousal filled the air, she was lucky that's all I did, instead of listening to every primal instinct in my body, demanding I toss her over my shoulder and find the nearest den so that I could make her mine.My posturing was much more than physical. Na
Ever gave a hard nod to Alpha Cyril and stepped back. My father's deep baritone voice was easily heard as he spoke to Sydney, "Your sentence is fifteen. Count each one out loud. Is that understood?""Yes," she whimpered.Fifteen wasn't bad. It shouldn't take too long. I was more than ready to move along to the next step.My father didn't waste any time. His hand came up, and the paddle came down, the slap against her bare skin resounding loudly in the air. Sydney flinched hard but made no sound other than to gasp, "One!"As the punishment continued, and swat after swat rained down, Sydney was no longer able to contain her cries of pain. Her chest heaved as she panted hard. The wolves all watched on eagerly, twittering among themselves, pleased with the spectacle. I was a little surprised at their vocalness. They were usually reserved during public punishment, and I wondered what their conversation amongst themselves consisted of. It was hard to hear over the constant slapping of the p
HycinthThe air teemed with excitement. Howls, shouts, and cries of happiness- a symphony of the Wolves' hearts. Even the ground beneath our feet pulsed as hundreds of Wolves stomped their joy. I heard and felt it all, but none of it mattered. There was only one Wolf I could focus on, and he captured my complete attention- Leander.His bite had overwhelmed and stunned me. I didn't know what I expected, but not the utter bliss that wrapped around me like a cocoon. Being in his arms, surrounded by his warmth -words were pitifully inadequate to describe the sensation, only to say it felt like it was where I belonged -I was home.Leander's violet and cerulean irises glowed dark as he pulled back from my neck. I stared at his full lips, wanting him...wanting more. He guessed my thoughts and whispered, "Not yet, little mouse."I frowned. He'd told me that twice now, and I wasn't feeling any more patient than when I'd heard it the first time. If anything, my desire for him had doubled. Uncon
