"Listen to me, baby, we have to. These people must never find out that you are pregnant, and they will if you put on any kind of resistance. You only need to focus on me. Focus on me, and everything will be fine, I promise. Think of it this way; I need to get us out of here, and I can't do that in this condition. To heal, I need you. I need you, baby, okay?" "Okay," She nodded, sniffling. "T-That's better. I want to heal you. L-Let's do it." Then her eyes closed with a ragged groan as his tongue swept into her mouth. She focused completely on him. In her mind, their environment disappeared in a mist. His tongue caressed hers, licking at her until she stilled it by suckling at it lightly. God, she has missed him so much. Being this close to him after a month of being separated from each other filled her with so much pleasure. She tasted the dark spice that was uniquely his, her heart beating faster in arousal and anticipation. His head tilted as the kiss took on a desperate quali
He was practically sweaty with the need to bury himself deep inside her and empty his sac repeatedly inside her until her lower belly took on a slight bulge for being full of his cum. His injuries were long forgotten.Wolfaraine plunged into her in one long stroke. At the same time, his head came down, and he buried his tongue inside her mouth, swallowing her scream of ecstasy. The feeling was paradise. Hell, this woman will be the death of him. Get a damn hold on yourself. She is pregnant, he scolded himself. Take it easy on her; she has been tortured too. And she's weak.The inward pep talk helped him calm down a bit. He stilled, kissing all over her face before retaking her lips. Her muscles tightened around him so hard that he gritted his teeth to keep from coming then and there. Her hips twitched desperately beneath him in a silent plea for him to move, but he held her still."Please, Wolfe please," She wanted to scream, but barely had breath for a whisper.“Ismena. Lord. You’re
"You can't go with me; none of you can." Alfred said for the umpteenth time, looking back at the two huge men walking behind him. The sizes of these men have always been scary to him—he would have been cowering at being crowded by not one of them but seven if he wasn't so worried about his daughter and her mate's safety."We are not sending you to the lion's den unprotected. Besides, we gotta be there to save them." Alphose said stubbornly, "I don't care what the plan should be. I'm going with you."Degar sighed, running a jerky hand through his long, dark hair. "The human is right, Alphose."They were at the Wild Forest. Fortunately, after so much scanning, calculation, and calls to some changelings in the human world, they finally got a location out of those number codes Alfred provided. They'd made a plan to work with, but apparently, Alphose was still having a hard time accepting the plan."The human is right." He repeated."I don't care, Degar. I sincerely don't care." Alphose g
"They have been at it for hours. Hours!" Cronus exclamed incredulously. "He lets her rest a bit, then he's up again, taking the woman. Are you sure you didn't drug them after all?"Beloca was so focused on the beaker he was studying before he heard Cronus's voice. He lowered the beaker to the table, turning to face the man. He shook his head, "I didn't drug them yet."Cronus scoffed, "I mean, I know his appetite is insatiable—his sexual tales are legendary amongst our people—but his mate? Hell, how does she keep up with him? He's practically going at it like a beast, relentless like a male on a mission. I lost count of how many rounds he has gone.""That's a good thing for me. Maybe it's because he really doesn't want his girlfriend drugged. I don't know. But I don't care. They are doing it. That's all that matters to me.""You are really clueless, aren't you? Do you really think our King is doing you any favors? Onaries was right. She IS healing him. It's all for him to heal, dammit!
"Holy motherfucking fucker," Cronus froze as he stepped in through the door with Beloca and saw the sight behind those silver, metal bars."What the fuck," Beloca watched, fascinated, "A lion. I've never seen a lion that big in my entire life.""A cougar, you dumbass. The King-Cougar..." Cronus whispered its name as if he was scared that the animal would wake if he called too loud. He almost choked on his fear. "Fascinating. It's protecting the woman." How can a woman in her complete senses be dating such a beast? An animal. A freak of nature."Well I need to take her blood to run some tests. I'll gas the beast." As he said, he was already on his way to the switch hanging off the wall."No!" Cronus's hand shot out. and he grabbed the man, "Are you mad!? You can't gas the King-Cougar, you will only succeed in waking it up! Are you insane!?""I don't understand you, Cronus. You were the one nagging me to gas him, now I wanna do it, and you're holding me back?" Beloca's voice dripped wi
"After our lab was burned down, I laid low for a while. Those animals hunt by scent and after breathing in mine for six months, I knew my life will be in danger if I wasn't careful, so I hid. Ten years after, I thought I've escaped them, but I was caught and taken prisoner by Number 6. I've been at their mercy ever since." He allowed his anger to emerge for the young doctor to see."These animals don't take prisoners, they would have killed you a long time ago. How are you still alive?""I led their leader to believe that I know other labs we operate and I'll take them to destroy it. They bought it. He kept me a prisoner in his home for years, that was when I met with Simon Blackwell and he—""Simon!? You met Simon!?" All the doubt Beloca had disappeared in that instant. Simon was his ghost. For this man to mention Simon, he must be telling the truth. Right?The man, Hector, nodded casually, "Yes, I did. He was the one that told me about this place, and how to find it. He told me abou
Ismena woke surrounded by the softest furs ever. Wolf or Cougar?Hopefully, it'll be with the wolf. It was easier to deal with.Her eyes opened and she stared straight at the belly of the tawny, silvery-grey skin of the mountain lion. Damn.She doesn't have a scratch or two. Maybe the cougar was sleeping. Warily, she looked up to the face of the animal only for it to glance down at her, its green eyes holding hers. With the wolf, it's always to play and be cuddled by the huge, soft animal. She was a hundred percent sure she was safe with the wolf, but with the cougar? Not so much.She wasn't as scared of the mountain lion as she was before, but she still had fear for the feral, unpredictable animal. "Hi there," she whispered, holding its eyes.The animal grunted. Its tongue came out and licked her forehead before it drew back to look at her again."Oh," Ismena's eyes widened at the unexpected tenderness. At a loss for words."Nadigyà," It growled. Ismena knows it means 'Mine' in the
Wolfaraine shifted to his mountain lion form, leaped away from the bullets that came in his direction, then shifted right back to his male form, dived back into the cell. Picking up Ismena, who was stirring awake from the sound of gunfire, shoved her out of the cell to the back of the huge counter located a few steps away from the cell."Stay here, stay down!" He commanded, had the satisfaction of seeing her nod vehemently before he shifted form again.The cougar leaped away from the counter, drawing the gunfire away from that direction as it did so. The cougar was so huge that it could have easily caught a bullet, but it was light as hell on its feet.The big animal pounced on all the officers piled up at the door; three of them passed out cold from the breath being knocked out of them, and two others got their heads instantly separated from their necks, blood splatting everywhere. Its moves faster than lightning. It gave two other heads the same treatment, successfully taking out s
When the full moon eventually came, screams from two women in two different parts of Naturiah were particularly high in the air because two couples were getting mated. One from the Cougar Clan, the other from the Heart of Naturiah.In the Cougar Clan, Alphose held his woman close as he gave her all that was him. She has never taken all his forms before, but tonight she was going to before the mating ritual is performed. Her sweaty body shook under his, and he could smell her fear too. He whispered words of love and encouragement to her ears as he filled her body from behind yet again and began thrusting again.They were in their bedroom, kneeling on the floor with Kassandra's upper body lying on the bed and Alphose's own blanketing hers from behind. They've been at it all night. She has lost count of how many times she has released. At this rate, her soul was going to leave her body. Alphose was the best lover she'd ever been with—hell, even the word 'best' does not do him justice. G
"I love you too, baby." He rose with her in his arms, withdrew a gold ring from his pocket, and slipped it into her ring finger. "It's so beautiful..." She cried, staring reverently at the sparkling jewelry. "It looks so good on you," he whispered to her. That night, they made passionate love together. As always he took his time arousing her body, touching her everywhere until she begged him desperately to join them intimately before he proceeded to do just that. They created the perfect rhythm together, moving sensuously and whispering words of love to each other. Wolfaraine took his time making her go wild in pleasure in his arms, he savored the cries, the litany, the sounds he drew from her as they pleasured each other for hours. Afterward, they lay together, sated and happy. He caressed her belly, cradling their child as Ismena burrowed closer to him. "I'm so glad that it was my father that helped us escape. We were victorious because of him." She played with the soft hairs
The next day, Onaries was publicly executed in the square at the Heart Of Naturiah, before the people. Crowds gathered to watch it and it gave them great satisfaction to see the shame, the humiliation on the psycho's face before he was beheaded. To Onaries, it was the worst punishment. He should have killed himself when the lab was invaded—it was better to die in battle than to be killed by public execution where the people get to laugh at him, spit on his face and call him names. He'd been tortured for days by his own Head Sentinel, Rodarh who took great pleasure from the act. He tortured Onaries until he lost his pride and begged to be killed. But Onaries, that monster, had denied him. Until today when he was publicly executed. As for the human doctor, Beloca; Alphose, and Degar had taken turns beating the man up, they carved his skin out of his own body, his screams like music to their eyes. They tortured Beloca to an extent that he stopped breathing several times, but they did
"Nothing, Miss Kassandra; I only forced your dormant hormones to come alive. My 'attempted claim' on you forced your body to wake and take on your mate's scent." He smiled a little, "Now, you practically stink of him." Sandra doesn't understand. "Him?" She asked, confused. "The Steele trying to break down that door, ma'am. You are his mate. There was a time you were very sick, right? To the extent you thought you might die, right?" Sandra doesn't need to think hard about that. "Yes, when I was very young, I suffered pneumonia." He nodded knowingly, "Whatever drugs humans used to cure you suppressed your hormones that made you a potential mate. So deeply suppressed that they wouldn't have stirred if you hadn't met your lifemate, my twin brother, and I wouldn't have been able to awake them if I didn't push as hard as I did. I'm sorry for hurting you, lass." The man wasn't as bad as she thought he was, Sandra thought, and some of her fears dissolved. Instead, joy began spreading thr
When Ismena heard the news about Alphose and Kassandra, she left the Tower and went back to Eline's house to be with her best friend. Sandra cried on her shoulders, dreading every hour that passed, every ticking of the clock because it was a reminder that Josiah was already on his way to Naturiah to claim her. She told Ismena that she didn't wanna do it. She just wants to go back to the human world. It's better to go home to live the rest of her life alone than to be with a man who isn't her Alphose. Although it killed Ismena to do it, she talked her out of it. How will she live the rest of her life knowing that she could have met her soulmate? She could have been with him, but she gave up on it? She talked her into giving Josiah a chance. After all, who knows? It might be the best decision she has ever made in her life, right? The Alpha King, on the other hand, could only pat his best friend's shoulder, commending him for doing the right thing even when the 'right thing' hurts. B
He smiled, "She is. Do you remember all your time together with her?""Oh yes. She is my best friend.""She will be so happy to hear that. It'll probably make her cry. She thinks of you that way too. Maybe even more.""I want her to stay with us forever. You're going to mate her, right?" "Yes, I will. If she will have me." Wolfaraine stated matter-of-factly. He has no doubt anymore. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Ismena. In fact, he cannot imagine his future without her in it."I'm glad. I hope she will have you, too. We will be one big family. She is so brave. She's everything you need in a mate. She always came by my room, all the time, no matter how scared she was. She came every day. I knew you two fought when she didn't come by for a few days. I was mad at you because you let her go.""Is that way you growled whenever I came close? I thought perhaps you hated me.""I never. I was just mad at you, madder, because I couldn't tell you how I felt. I'm happy you two sort
He walked into the room, quietly closing the door behind him, and took a few minutes to just stand there and watch them. The two most important women in his life. He felt lighter and refreshed, his heart filled with happiness like he'd never known before. How his life has changed in the past few months. He'd resigned himself to a bland life filled with guilt, sadness, and loneliness, never taking a mate, never having a child of his own, and living day by day with the fear of not knowing when he would lose his sister forever. But Ismena came into his life and changed it forever.He'd felt more in the past six months than he has in almost twenty years. The past no longer fills him with rage and sadness, his cougar wasn't as rough and out-of-control as before. He has a mate who is so highly compatible with him, his child is growing in her belly, and his sister, who he thought was lost forever was back to him again.Complete. He feels complete."What are you thinking so hard about?" Ism
Gasps of disbelief filled the air. The people were shocked and excited. They found it hard to believe that their King's sister—someone who they'd all given up on—would take her mortal form again after all these years. Murmurs rose in the crowd, bits and pieces of them could be heard audibly."Did you see that—" A voice said."What just happened!?" Another added."She took her mortal form again...!" "Bless the Lord!""May the deities be praised...!""Did you see that too?""...thought it'll never happen for her.""It's been eighteen years."Wolfaraine Daminor Throne stood frozen. He glanced down at the small, pale, feminine hand in his larger one. His eyes trailed from her hand to her arm, up to her shoulder, her neck, and her teary face. His throat constricted at the sight in front of him.She was more beautiful than the distorted image his mind had desperately held onto all these years. His sister was ten the last time he saw her face. His eyes watered as he gazed into eyes as blue
All the leading Alphas of Naturiah were there, the sentinels, the Betas, the Omegas, the houseworkers. He could see Eline, Mirian, and Kassandra too, even the Alphas that fought with him in the human world earlier in the day. They were all gathered there. They rose and greeted him respectfully when he walked through the door with his mate in his arm.Then they were crowding him. The joy and relief on their faces, filled his heart with love for his people. The females had tears in their eyes as they came really close to him. Some were hugging him, while the others were kneeling at his feet—a gesture of welcome and respect. They were all careful not to press tightly against him because of the woman in his arms. Ismena wiggled a bit, a sign that she wanted to be on her own feet, but Wolfaraine glanced at her and shook his head slightly."Please, I'll be careful, and I'll be right here by your side." she pleaded, a hint of her smile on her face. She knows how badly his people wanted to g
