Ismena was still fuming in the bathroom but at the same time, she couldn't help enjoying her bath. The bathroom was definitely not the most ultramodern one, but it was most sophisticated, well-equipped, and well-decorated in a way that oozed masculinity. She can stay here for hours and never get tired of it.Everywhere smelled like him. Everything she touches smelled like him. It did nothing to help the desire beating down through her system, did nothing to help how hard her nipples budded for him and her wet she was for him."No way, Body. He doesn't want us, remember? I think we should stop wanting him and hold onto the little bit of pride we have left. Let's not forget that he almost killed us in the afternoon in his lion form." She muttered to herself as she soaped her body.Nope, her body wasn't listening to her. Instead, the scent of the man surrounded her like a second skin, playing with her sense...playing with her heart at the same time.Outside the bathroom, it was all Wolf
Wolfaraine's hands gripped the chair-arms tighter. "In July, on a bright summer day, I set out to the non-changeling world again. My ten-year-old sister was waiting for me at the Wild Forest..." A pause. A tight swallow. "...I was surprised to see her there. I told her to go back but she refused." "Aila has always been sheltered by the pack and my own family. Everybody loves her because she's a very lovable child." His voice took on a light tone like he can remember this past, "Even when I was young, I wasn't all easygoing and carefree like other pack children, but I had a very soft spot for Aila. It was so visible...everyone knows. No one messes with Aila, not even when pack-children are playing. That person will have to go through me first." A small smile ghosted Ismena's lips. "I can understand that very much, and I'm sure everyone else can too. You're her big brother...of course, you love her that fiercely. It's like that for me and Tina, my little sister, too." A lightness wa
"Finding myself in that large cage, I went into a raging frenzy, demanding to see my sister. I felt fear for the first time in my life because I did not know if Aila was alive or not. I practically dared those scientists to come into the cage to try and punish me for the uproar, but no one dared. Instead, they convinced me that Aila was alive by making her scream from a different part of the cell which I couldn't see."Ismena finished applying the healing potions and dropped the small bottle aside. She reached for the bandages then."I knew there were more of my packmates in that lab, but I was isolated just like the rest of them so I had no idea who was captured and who wasn't. To them, we were just experiments. Just animals. And they tortured and treated us like one.""Oh my God!!" Ismena gasped, disgustedly. Her hands gripped the bandage so tight in her anger, her knuckles turned white.He continued anyway. His tone was flat. "I was called Number 6. Aila was Number 26. For weeks, I
On the other hand, Ismena was remembering Wolfaraine's rage in cougar form clearly when he chased her earlier in the day. The murder look in its green eyes is not something that can be easily forgotten. Also, Alphose's words earlier came back to her. ***"The cougar does not like you, so beware of his eyes going all green."***A cold shiver worked through her spine."I was not surprised that the King-Cougar's rage and hate for humans surpassed that of the King-Wolf because the cougar protected us the most in those hellish months; in my mortal form and wolf-form. Taking every drug those doctors stuck into me in wolf-form and absorbing itself. It damaged the cougar badly."Her voice finally worked. "How...?" It came out hoarse.He thought of ways to explain it better, "In animal form, we are basically instinctive and not rational or reasonable like we are in mortal form. But even at that, I am more in control in wolf form than in cougar form. That part of me is so damaged, I am tetheri
Ismena has never heard such pain reflected in another person's voice before. It made her heart tighten further in her chest like someone was squeezing hard on it and refused to let go. "I'm so sorry, Wolfaraine... It wasn't your—""No. Do not think about telling me that it is not my fault Ismena." Looking away from his bloody hands, he focused his gaze out of the window, "That lie does nothing for me. That lie does not change that I failed my sister, Nalaila, in every sense of the word 'failure'."She'd thought it was a mistake that he'd mentioned that name before, but now she knows for sure that it wasn't a mistake. So, Nalaila is his sister...? Aila. Nalaila. Of course.Now, she felt very guilty for even feeling remotely jealous the few times that name came up. His unusual reactions at the mention of that name finally made sense."So, you see why I hate humans so much?" His tone hard, "I cannot unhate your kind, Ismena. I do not know how to."Oh, yes, she understands. It hurts but
Wolfaraine continued, "I do not want to mate anybody, both human or changeling. Once the mating ritual is performed, the female MUST get pregnant if she isn't already pregnant through their intimacy before the ritual. The mating ritual is nothing to joke with and its bond always creates a child on that night. Always." it was all the truth, although that is only one reason why he does not want a mate. A male like him does not deserve the happiness that comes with mating. Not after everything. Not after Nalaila.Suddenly, he was exhausted. For the first time in a long time, he was tired in every single way. He cannot do this anymore, tonight.So, he stepped away from the window and headed towards the big wardrobe that dominated one part of the huge bedroom. "Goodnight, Ismena. You cannot go back to Eline's this night, it is very late already. You can sleep in the bedroom next to mine."But Ismena does not want to part from him. "Wait...!" The word tore from her throat before she could
She went to his head faster than the finest wine in Naturiah. When that towel dropped from her body and he caught the glance of the perfection the damn robe hid all along, he'd acted on pure instincts.Now, with her back against the wall and his arms holding her caged in his arms, he gave in to the persistent hunger that has become as deep as a dark craving.The kiss was wild and hard. His lips came down on hers in a kiss that sizzled Ismena from head to toe. Her hands clenched his shoulders as she fought to keep her senses from reeling, but there was no escaping the firestorm he ignited inside her."Why did you do that?" The deep growl was spoken into her mouth."I need you." She breathed."Are you sure you can handle me, Ismena Cranes?" He gave her no chance to answer too, instead, his lips covered hers again.Her hunger escalated. She's becoming very addicted to his brain-frying kisses. Her heart was thudding hard in her chest but there was no way she is dwelling on it.His big han
Wolfaraine added a third finger, or tried to. Her pulsating channel wouldn't take the extra appendage deep. So, he settled for whirling it through her shivering inner walls, prolonging her orgasm."aaaaAAAAAHHH...!" Ismena screamed again. Her eyes watered. It was too much. This...THIS...is too much. "Wait! W-Waaait...!" Her hands shot out to hold his, but he grabbed hold of her wrists with his other hand and raised it high above her head in a tight grip, successfully holding them captive. His fingers pushed into her ruthlessly, determined to draw out her release to the last thread."Oh, myyyyy...!" Her thighs shook, and her body writhed. Sweat gathered, even when the room is cold.Then, he gave in to the overwhelming urge that has been banging through him since he began exploring her body. His head lowered to her neckIsmena knew what he was going to do and began protesting with her body, trying to push her neck away from his seeking mouth. "No, no, please, it's going to...be too...m
