Aimee's P.O.V"Maybe you'd get a little more color to your skin after a good night's rest." Logan continued in a tender voice but I shook my head."Hmm Hmm. dirty." I mumbled, my mouth felt almost too heavy to speak through, but Logan glared at me. "I need to have a bath first.""You can do that tomorrow. Right now you can barely keep your eyes open and stand on your feet. Let me help you get changed." He held out a shirt of his and moved to take off her top."It's fine, I can manage by myself." I was hit by a sudden fierce need to throw my arms around him and beg him to hold me...make love to me even but I bit my lip to prevent the words from tumbling out. I couldn't manage with him tonight, not with what Professor Blackwood told me. Yes, I still held a faint belief towards his claims. Besides, my emotions were too raw and, if Logan came close to me, I might say something both of us would never come back from. Thank Goddess he chose that moment to stand up and walked over to the d
Aimee's P.O.VIt was dark when I stirred awake. Not the bright light of morning but the soft dewy darkness of dawn. Slowly, I sat up from the bed, my eyes getting accustomed to the low light. Black and gold sheets. I was In Alpha Logan's room. Yawning, I remembered that he tucked me in and stretched his full length right next to me, as if he I would get up in the middle of sleep to sneak off to the bathroom once again. Sometime during the night, he'd shifted or maybe I shifted but he was now lying on his back, face up.Shifting onto my side, I realized I'd never watched Logan sleep. We were always too worn after sex and he woke up before me.His lashes were so long that they almost fanned his cheekbone, creating tiny shadows over them. I realized as I turned to look at him. The hard lines that seemed to be etched on his face were suddenly nonexistent and Logan looked younger, almost boyish. Seeing the peace that seemed to emit from him, I realized how stressed he was. The burden he
Aimee's P.O.VI heard Logan draw a sharp breath and when he withdrew his cock from my heat and flipped me over to be under him, the brilliant fire in his warned me that he wasn't going to stop until he'd taken me apart with pleasure. But he was waiting for my consent still. A shift in our relationship and it.....it made my eyes sting with tears. Logan might never tell me he loved me but he cared for me. Too broken to actually apologize for the rough start of our relationship, I got snippets of his guilt and apologies from the unguarded expressions that travelled across his face with the speed of light. His behavior last night had proven that, if I needed proof after the tenderness he had shown me when I discovered Ella was the culprit. His cruel silent rejection months ago when Nancy had taken control of his mind had broken my heart, but since I had fallen into heat and almost left him, he was trying in his own little way to try and atone for everything--Killing Jake, making my broth
Aimee's P.O.VIt was too much, the sensation on his mouth on my clitoris, piled on top of the sensation of two of his fingers sliding into my dripping open. it built to a crescendo that made me writhe beneath me. "Oh yes. Right there. Logan. Oh." I was speaking gibberish as the first little spasms caused my muscles to clench around his probing fingers.His tongue flicked over my clitoris, once twice and then stars exploded behind my eyes as he sucked it into his mouth, his groans causing a sweet vibration around that bundle of nerves.My hips were thrashing about at this time as he worked his finger in and out of me while alternating between sucking and licking my clit. "Logan... I think ... I'm gonna.. uhhhh!" My body coiled tight as he curled his fingers inside, furiously tapping against my knot. it was sensitive... so goood that when he hummed, "Come for me baby." around my throbbing core, it flows out of me in rich essence, my back bowing off the bed. Suddenly he lost his own co
Damien's P.O.VStealthily, I sauntered towards the newly reconstructed dungeon, thankfully for the dark cover of night. The sky was pitch black, devoid of any moon or stars as if nature itself were an accomplice to my Plans. pointedly ignoring the agony tearing me apart from the insides as I felt Aimee fuck the Alpha, I moved silently, leather soles soundless against cobblestones.I wouldn't lie. I was tempted. Tempted to poison Logan and take Aimee for myself. Head over heels for her. That was what I was. Marking Bond asides. Aimee was special, soft and tender, the kind of flower that flourishes under the greatest devotion and love, withering if neglected. Logan didn't give her any of that. He only kept hurting her and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold back my fists the next time he brought tears to her eyes. Nobody was allowed to hurt her. Not even her mate. Fuck him. Fuck my loyalty to him. Everyday I ached for Aimee. Hurt whenever her wolf blocked out my wolf. I'd given up tryin
Ella's P.O.VA chilling breeze drifted through the crack of a window, into the dungeon, swaying me back and forth like a pendulum bob dangling from a string. My legs which levitated above the ground felt numb and if not for the pain that stuck to me like a relentless companion, I'd be convinced that Damien had cut off my limbs.Through my bloodshot, haze-filled vision, I saw him standing before me, drenched from head to toe in blood---my own blood.His grip on the whip, which had etched agonizing lashes into my flesh, relaxed, and the whip thudded noiselessly on the cold stone floor."How do you feel?" Slipped past bloodied lips stained from what he'd tasted of me and he flinched in the darkness as the question hung between us. Did he seriously ask me this? Laughter, born from deep within my soul, erupted from my cracked lips, bouncing off the stone walls. Well, for one. Pain pulsed through my battered body, each throb a reminder of the torment I'd...endured. Do not get me wrong. I d
Aimee’s P.O.V I’d been staring at the box sitting on the bed for the most part of the morning since I’d woken up. Logan had it delivered earlier, before he left for some trade pack whatever but I couldn’t bring myself to take out the shimmering black slip of a dress that sat in it. Why Logan would want me to wear something this…exquisite for a burial ceremony was beyond me. But he said and I quote, “You might not be announced as my Luna…yet, but everyone knows you are my mate and no matter the occasion, you have to dress accordingly.” The dress was something meant for a club, not a solemn gathering of grieving people. Since Logan was the Alpha of a pack whose member had been involved in the murder of the daughter of the alpha of another pack, we both had to be there. But I knew I wouldn’t miss Sarah’s burial even if my life depended on it. She died in my place and the least I could do was pay her my last respects and this dress wasn’t in any way respectful. As I reached for the box
Author’s P.O.V *The hallway was empty left for the very clear and unmistakable figure of Isra—the head of the maids of the New Ridge Pack—who was toeing along the lockers before she stopped in front of the second to the last locker. Sneakily glancing over her shoulders, she unlocked the locker and slid in a brown paper bag and flowers. Then just as she’d come into view of the surveillance camera, she darted out of sight.* “There you go,” Professor Blackwood spoke up after the projector screen went black, signifying the end of the video. “Alpha Logan presented the wrong person.” If a pin dropped in the entire hallway filled with wolves of various packs, it would probably echo for miles. Slowly, the video Aimee had just watched started making sense and when it finally clicked, a gasp rose to her lips and she shot a look at Damien whose expression was shell-shocked…and crestfallen. Next to her, Logan was thoughtfully silent and she couldn’t understand what was going through his head
