Irresistible Temptations Truth disrupted
Trust disruptedMADALINAI awoke to an excruciating ache tormenting my head, the room incessantly spinning around me. I feared I might have to rush to the bathroom and engage in an unseemly conversation with the porcelain throne. Regret washed over me for foolishly indulging in copious amounts of tequila, a beverage I seldom consumed. Gingerly adjusting my position on the bed, I massaged my temples and surveyed the room.Noticing the folded blanket on the sofa and Aiden's absence, I groaned inwardly. The memories from the previous night flooded my mind, causing me to cringe with embarrassment. I had been unduly harsh towards him, and even worse, I had lied. I didn't actually regret intervening and preventing him from rejecting me. Why did I say that? Perhaps I wanted to lash out at him because I was feeling utterly confused.But was it fair to hurt him that way? And was he hurt, or didn't he care at all? After all, it was his fault. He shouldn't have touched me in the ladies' room. Th
Irresistible Temptations Savoring the unknown
Savoring the unknownMADALINAWhile sitting in the office trying to alleviate the stress that had crept up on me, my peripheral vision noticed a group of people through the window. I didn't need to look directly to sense Aiden's presence. Instantly, I stood up and went outside. Debra was already there, patting each of the guys on his back and thanking them for all the hard job done.My eyes were glued on Aiden. A million different things ran through my brain at that specific moment, challenging its prefrontal cortex. I had no particular plan what to tell him, how to transform my thoughts into senseful sentences and be rational. He was very much aware of me standing nearby but avoided looking at me at all costs. Hell, it was unbearable to be ignored like that, but I had to admit I deserved his frosty demeanor. And I should be the one making the first move. So, taking a deep breath, I approached him."Aiden," I called his name, seeing how the muscles on his back got all tense after hear
Irresistible Temptations Cherry bite
Cherry biteAIDEN"Open your mouth." She whispered, her voice switching from infuriated into sensual. What was she trying to do to me? What kind of punishment had that pretty blond head plotted? Maybe she wanted to stuff a dirty stinky sock into my mouth. And maybe I would even deserve it because of the constant tendency to mock her.But man, was she difficult sometimes! Or better to say, most of the time. And yet, I couldn't help myself but follow her like a lost puppy. Wherever I looked, there was her face. A sad, cold, ruthless, haunted face. A face of a killer. But also beautiful, with features so exquisite that she could rival any Goddess's grace. Her face was that lovely and delicate, especially when she relaxed and stopped wrinkling her forehead. It often stole my breath. That woman could easily outshine any star in heaven. She exuded ethereal beauty, beguiling and enchanting all who dared gaze upon her. But could I ever tell her this? No. She would most probably laugh at me, e
Irresistible Temptations Silent wish
Silent wishMADALINAI couldn't help but stare at his lips, the way they curved slightly upwards at the edges as if hinting at a secret smile. What would it feel like to kiss him, I kept asking myself while watching him licking my fingers in the café. I had to try it. I had to press my own lips against his and taste the warmth of his mouth.No one ever warned me a kiss could feel like this. The simple touch of lips evolving into sheer passion made me weak in my knees. That passion burned me like a fire, wild and untamed. It was a force which couldn't be quenched, a desire unchained, rising like a storm, powerful and free. It was an emotion covered in perfect symphony. And something bloomed in my heart after that kiss. Like a wild rose with thorns which pricked and stung, yet with a beauty that was unmatched.. Imperfect yet perfect.How come I yearned this so much? Why did I wish to throw away all my past beliefs and just submit to the mate bond? We should not be together, yet staying
Irresistible Temptations Unspoken gestures
Unspoken gesturesMADALINAI would expect a horny Alpha wolf to tear my clothes into pieces, impatient and starving. But that was not Aiden's style. He undressed me slowly, his touch gentle and loving. I wondered if he was that cautious because of the dreadful incident in Humfish Creek I had told him about or whether he always treated a woman with reverence that bordered on the divine. As if all those previous conflicts, mocking and insults were erased, I was introduced to the brand-new level of adoration. He made sure I knew it with every touch, every kiss, every moment spent in his arms.As he removed each layer of my clothing, he planted soft kisses on my skin, causing me shivers of pleasure. When he reached my neck, he lingered there, placing tender kisses on the spot reserved for the mate bond that sent a jolt of electricity through my body."Promise you won't beat the crap out of me after this?" He whispered playfully with his lips brushing up and down the length of my neck. I c
Irresistible Temptations Consequences unseen
Consequences unforeseenAIDENOriginally, I wanted to leave that day. We needed to move, to get to the safe house as soon as possible and start negotiations with the Crud family. But my plans had changed. And if I could travel back in time and meet Aiden, who was just about to leave his pack in the Yukon, he would surely not believe what I had to say to him.Instead of packing and rejoining the community of lone wolves, I spent the day in bed with the dangerously hot vamp who was slowly but clearly turning me into her sex toy. I fucked her wherever possible - in bed, on various pieces of furniture, on the floor, against the wall, in the shower. I just couldn't get enough of her nor could my wolf.Was it normal to get addicted to a person in less than a day? Surely, it was possible. I was the living proof of that.She had me wrapped around her finger without being fully aware. Such an enormous power she held over me whenever she whimpered, begged me to touch her, to kiss her, to fuckin
Irresistible Temptations You marked me
Madalina giggled."It's not fun when I stop shortly before your orgasm?" Ah, I knew what she was doing. That was her revenge for the previous foreplay when I did not lick her until she came into my mouth."Come here, you little minx." I groaned when she turned around and started to distance from me. I grasped her by her hips, to which she replied with an excited squeal. I sat her in my lap, pressing her back against my chest."That's a very irresponsible and mean thing to do, starting and not finishing." I squeezed both her breasts, pinching her hardened nipples. She moaned out of pleasure, her butt rubbing against my cock."Are you going to punish me now?" She was in a playful mood, her firm butt teasing me as it kept brushing around, putting me on the very edge. But I would not make it easy for her."Yes. From now on, I am not touching you." I stated casually and put my hands down."What? No. You can't do it." She whimpered as if the words caused her physical pain."What?! No! You c
Irresistible Temptations Cross fire
. CrossfireMADALINAIt was difficult to distinguish who was more shocked - me or him. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, mixed with growing anger. In the depths of that anger, a tempest of emotions churned and seethed."You marked me!" I yelled at him.He looked up at me, paralyzed by my fuming reaction, immediately covering his mouth with his hand as if he had said something he shouldn't have. Paradoxically, it was his actions which brewed a small storm of wrath within me.Breathe, Mada, breathe. Don't kill your mate."I-I-...""You what?!"He finally tried to speak but no words came out. At that point, he was already aware of the mistake he had made, and my outburst caught him off guard."You said yes." His voice was barely a whisper. As his words trailed off into a faint murmur, the imposing figure before me seemed to shrink and wither, like a towering tree struck by lightning and reduced to a fragile sapling. The strong, confident alpha male was gone and the person in front

Irresistible Temptations Shifting perspective
Shifting perspectivesMADALINAMy stomach was upset, and my mouth was dry. Apparently, my body underwent a range of reactions due to the most important event of my new life. I would be the center of attention, all eyes filled with judgment on me. Even before, I never enjoyed public events or parties, and rather let my brother fulfill such a role. Alex was an extrovert like no other, never experiencing an increased heart rate or sweating when giving out a speech. And although I wasn't afraid of speaking up my mind, my attitude was more... military oriented? I was not good at sugarcoating or putting on a perfect-smile façade. And yet, that was exactly what I was about to do tonight.I stood before the mirror, my gaze fixed on the reflection staring back at me. Who was this woman and what did she do with Madalina Crud?Carrie had chosen for me a stunning long dress with bare shoulders in the shades of dark red. It was definitely a departure from my usual style of leather pants and milita
Irresistible Temptations Excitement and nervousness
When I first learned about Carrie's idea to throw a big welcome party for Madalina, I was a little hesitant. Ever since we arrived at my pack, my mate has faced a barrage of unwarranted prejudice due to her different background. No one dared to confront her or me directly, but the silent whispers were there. People stared. At me. At her.It was mostly due to all those horrible crimes her family was responsible for. Her family had tortured lone wolves, treating them like slaves. Sadly, even my mate took part in it, blindly manipulated by her parents. Though with each new day, I could see how much she regretted all her past actions. I may have gotten a second chance at love, but Madalina got her second chance at normal life. And she was going to prove to everyone that she no longer was the ruthless, stone-cold werewolf slayer.The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the preparations for the grand evening were in full swing. Decorations adorned every corner, bringing vibrant colors an
Irresistible Temptations Unwelcome news
Unwelcome newsAIDENUpon Jerome's resignation, I was faced with an enormous workload that made me truly grasp the extent of his responsibilities on my behalf. An Alpha was like a lost puppy without his Beta. Despite Scott shadowing Jerome for many years, he struggled to fulfill the role with the same efficiency. Regrettably, Scott was caught between his previous Gamma duties and attempting to assume the Beta position. Our pack was huge in size, and leading it was never meant to be a solitary endeavor. It necessitated a cohesive team, which, unfortunately, I did not have.Days started to merge, and I couldn't tell the difference between light and dark, granting me less and less time for my mate. And I hated it. I hated leaving Maddie alone, even though I could count on Carrie to keep her company. But it would be irresponsible of me to just ignore the escalating situation in my pack and simply lock myself in the room with my gorgeous woman. I was an Alpha and sometimes I needed to put
Irresistible Temptations The vampire's mark
Notre DameMADALINAIt has been a whole week since I moved to Black Forest pack, but nothing has changed significantly.My mate was incredibly busy, leaving our room early in the morning and returning at night. His Beta stepped down and he now had only his Gamma to support him. Aiden's father tried to help too, but it wasn't common practice to see a retired Alpha interfering in the pack's business. Moreover, it would shed a bad light on Aiden, putting him in the position of not being competent enough to lead the pack if daddy needed to hold his hand.. Eventually, it would motivate ambitious males outside the pack to come and conquer the place, seeing Aiden as a weak element that could be easily challenged and eliminated. Status was everything in the werewolf's world.Aiden spent the entire week searching for a proper candidate for the Gamma position. He wanted to promote the current Gamma to Beta. That man seemed to be one of a few who were loyal to Aiden and openly supported him desp
Irresistible Temptations So attractive
"Go back to your own kind. Leave our pack before facing further humiliation."I cleared my throat before speaking, controlling the fiery rage that tortured me. Oh, the fantasies that danced in my mind - to give her a taste of her own venomous words, to unleash that never-ending thirst in me, and sink my fangs deep in her flesh until she begged for her life. To punch that nasty mouth and show her true fear.But could I afford such scandal on my first day among werewolves? As much as I wished to make her pay, I concluded she simply wasn't worth the trouble with my mate. I came here to be a better person.Hence, I put my old habits aside and kept the fight on a verbal level."Oh, wow, thank you so much for your unsolicited prophecy! How fortunate I am to have you... whoever you are, enlighten me about my inevitable fate. Your concern for my well-being and humiliation is truly heartwarming. Clearly, your wisdom knows no bounds. Perhaps I should bow down and seek your guidance on all life
Irresistible Temptations Fire tango
Fire tangoMADALINANerves fluttered in my stomach when his family first approached me. Will they grimace in disgust? Will they be bothered by the presence of a vampire? I had all those questions clawing at my mind, terrifying me. But what I experienced... it was something entirely unexpected.In a flurry of introductions and warm smiles, my unease began to dissipate. I stared at Aiden's mother, who exuded a genuine kindness which I found both comforting and bewildering. Not like my own mother, who only veiled her real personality under a sweet, innocent face. My mother carried the mask of kindness, pretending to be a good person, a victim of horrible crimes for which, after all, she was primarily responsible. But the warmth in Amelia's eyes and the way she squeezed my hand indicated she was genuinely happy for her son and accepted me as I was.Aiden's sister, Carrie, was a vibrant young woman. Her presence required attention as she effortlessly owned the room with her wild and loud p
Irresistible Temptations Dislike her
"I'll get some drinks. It's time to celebrate." Carrie winked at us and rushed to one of the Omegas, splashing instructions."Okay, I guess." Maddie placed a light kiss on my lips to ensure me she would manage to survive my family. I didn't need to worry about her. My mate wasn't any shy damsel in distress. If anyone annoyed her, she would deal with it. I promised her not to be away for long and left her with mom and Carrie.On the way to my office, I met my dad. He had arrived at Black Forest pack before us."Jerome knows." He informed me shortly. I sighed, feeling how a big lump formed in my throat. My Beta had already learned about the death of his son.~~~~~~~"We are currently providing shelter for over a hundred lone wolves. The majority of them have already applied for asylum but some haven't decided yet. They still consider returning to their original village once all is settled. Anyhow, we can't accommodate them all permanently. We are running short on resources. But the disc
Irresistible Temptations Bitter toll
. Bitter tollAIDENMadalina squeezed my hand when we passed through the main gate to my pack. The Black Forest pack was one of the largest packs in Yukon, providing a home to thousands of people, mostly werewolves. We had several witches among us, as well as humans. Overall, it was a great place to live in. Despite the isolation within the mountains, our civilization thrived.The air carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers, intermingled with the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals waffling from the houses. The streets were alive with the joyous spirit of community, as people strolled leisurely, their smiles radiant and genuine. Children reveled in their innocence, their laughter echoing through the pathways, while the sun cast a gentle glow upon their carefree games.We lived in peace, surrounded by beautiful nature, and I couldn't wait to show it all to my beautiful mate. Therefore, I was stunned when we finally arrived at my pack and the streets were empty. Gone was also the melo
Irresistible Temptations Raindrops farewell
Raindrops farewellAIDENI was glad that my mate agreed to live with me in my pack. I understood the depth of sacrifices she had undertaken to be with me. Her departure from her family was due to forbidden love and it led to her being estranged by her own parents. They cut off any future physical contact with her and although she tried to be strong and not to show it, I knew it bothered her tremendously. At least her brother, despite being a sick psychopath, stood by her side.And now, I was going to be her family and I would do anything to make her happy.When I returned to the safe house together with Madalina, the place was emptied. Only my father stayed with a couple of soldiers. He was eager to meet my mate and shook her hand a bit too enthusiastically that I had to remind him to keep it cool. As surprising as it was, my dad was very open-minded and didn't care about Madalina's origin. I assumed after all he had to go through in his life, he understood how precious true love was.
