Kiera POV"Attack!" I roared, unleashing the full force of our offensive strategy, I was never one to sit back in defense. The North group, anticipating our assault, raised shields and readied their batons for the impending clash.The battlefield crackled with intensity as my warriors, driven by fierce determination, engaged in the dance of combat. I charged out with a howl of adrenaline, my form half-shifted, an accomplishment not easily achieved by many. Yet, it barely weighed on Athena. The mere thought of battle, even a supposed friendly one, excited her, fueling her with energy and power.Our agreement was straightforward: when an opponent fell, the fighting between them ceased. The victor carried on, while the defeated departed the field. The clash would persist until only one warrior stood triumphant.As we collided, a symphony of growls, groans, and cries of pain filled the air. Restraining my claws, I relied on powerful punches to knock opponents off their feet, one after ano
River POVI opened the door to my library, waving for her to enter. I needed to keep control and I needed to put this woman in her place. Mate or not, she wasn't coming in here and taking my army. Who the hell did this woman think she was?"Sit and let's talk," I commanded, settling into my seat behind the desk."You like ordering people around, don't you?" she challenged."I like being respected, something you know little about.""I respect those that deserve it, and that isn't you," she wittily replied, taking a seat across from me."Sharp little tongue you have," I leaned over my desk, my chest rumbling in disapproval."I thought you wanted to talk. This is bickering, Alpha," she remarked, her tone laced with sarcasm."I did," I cleared my throat, leaning back in my chair to let my anger wash away some. I can't handle Kiera with pure dominance. She might not be aware of our bond, but deep down she knew we were equals. "You cannot control the people of the South on my territory," I
River POV"I will make you pay! You're pathetic, both you and your wolf!" Athena's words dripped with vile hatred for me. Chaos loved it and all of it annoyed me to no end."Pathetic!" I stepped forward, pushing her back until she hit my desk. "I'm not pathetic, and we both know that, Athena. I'm an Alpha, your Alpha, a powerful and righteous one.""You're nothing to me!" She spoke defiantly, but quickly lost her resolve as handcuffs closed around her wrists. The look of fear on her delicate face was so damn pleasing."They aren't silver, but you won't be able to break them. Now! Are you ready to submit?" I pushed her on the desk, spreading her legs and moving against her body. Her pussy was hot and wet against me. She shook her head no, "Never!" "Never!" I chuckled, my hands grabbing her face, lips sitting above hers. She couldn't resist me anymore than I could resist her. Her body began trembling, breaths heavy, and teeth biting back her moan."Being this close to you is like a fu
Drake POV"River is indulging in our little mate. That didn't take long." Chase chuckled as we headed to my library. I wanted to read more about this light and dark the oracles spoke of. "We all knew that was exactly what would happen if they were left alone, even River. We can't resist her." I said with a grunt. River was enjoying our mate a little too much. Jealousy filled me to join them. "We could go to them. Once our little pixie is fired up she can resist us, even three at once." Chase lifted an eyebrow to me, pleading to let us run after them."River and Kiera need to form a bond alone. We have our whole lives to share her, if we don't push her away at first." I grabbed a book and took a seat to begin scanning through it. Chase grabbed a random one with a large dragon on the front. What the hell he hoped to find in there, I had no idea?We sat quietly, trying to read but neither of us often flipped the pages. The overwhelming pleasure coursing through us was impossible to ign
Chase POVI swayed my way into my brother's office with a sigh. I was tired of everyone doubting me, and definitely didn't like playing babysitter to a feral wolf."Redecorating?" I smugly asked, briskly walking to one his non dismantle chairs. "Get out!" River roared out, grabbing multiple books in his hand and chucking them at the window. It didn't even scratch the glass, which enraged him more. River then ripped an entire bookshelf from the wall and hurled it at the window. "I think the place looks better like this. Want to talk now?""I said..." River turned his black eyes on me, stalking my way with nothing but death in his eyes. "Get out!""We've known each other since we were born, probably even before that. We both know I'm not going anywhere. Let's skip the whole 'I'm the toughest Alpha' act of this play and cut right to what happened with Kiera."River grunted at me, searching my eyes to gauge that, despite my playful demeanor, I wasn't in the mood to fight for dominance.
Kiera POVI left Drake's quarters in a mess of emotions. I don't know why River's words hurt so much, but they did. For a brief moment I felt outside myself, submissive but free. River demanded that I acknowledge that he owned me, and in that moment, I wanted it to be no other way. After filling me, satisfying every part of my soul, he held me, strong arms wrapped around my body and I felt as if we became one entity instead of two separate bodies. Athena was in a whirlwind of desire, wanting his wolf to claim her, become a part of us. She had never submitted so completely to another, and I knew it made her afraid. She was quiet inside me, energy full and power restored beyond our limits, but the yearning to be with River left something dark inside us. I never in my life felt such an overwhelming need to bare another's mark, not even Jackson's, and I never want to be tied to man like him.Something wasn't right between the brothers and I. There was this intense pull between us that m
Kiera POV"Name?" I demanded of the woman still standing at my side."Harper." She said confidently, arms behind her back and head held high."Status in army?""First lieutenant of the Dark Wolves.""Dark Wolves?" I chuckled. "More like asshole wolves." I sneered, jamming my dresses into one of the cubbyholes alongside my new bed. The mattress was very thin and it didn't look too comfortable. "You seem at odds with our Alphas. May I ask what your relationship is with them?""Relationship? That's a joke. We are enemies and that is all.""Oh, right. Enemies, but ones that go on dates." She showed me a slight smile."I'm not dating..." my words fell short. Shit! Am I dating them. I slept with all three brothers and Chase is taking me to dinner to tonight. What the hell happened to my life?"I don't mean to make fun, Luna. You are quite the buzz around here and I was just curious what it meant. Alpha Chase already ordered us to do as you wish for the next 72 hours. You are our commander
Chase POVAfter dropping Kiera off at the barracks to settle in, I made my way to my brothers. Let's just say, the welcome committee was a bit lackluster. However, if they could witness the myriad emotions painted on our mate's face, they might cut me some slack."Are you fucking insane!" River's voice thundered out the moment I strolled into his now empty study. It was practically bare since he had his servants come and remove all that he destroyed earlier."We've already established that I am," I retorted with a smug grin, gracefully sinking into a plush black leather couch. "I'm liking this. You should keep it. Beats those old, stuffy chairs any day." My fingers caressed the smooth leather, adding a touch of nonchalance to the chaos."I don't know how we haven't killed him yet," River commented to Drake as he continued to pace the floor. Drake grabbed two glasses, handing me one, then took a seat beside me."I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why did you make Kiera our hea
