"I have no idea where that place is, Dr. Beloca. Does this...Facility has any business with NAALC? What is it that cannot wait until work hours?" Better to play dumb, Cronus thought."We have no business with NAALC but I believe we have a business with you. A business that is of interest to the both of us and will benefit us both, greatly."No way. He barely got out of his involvement with them almost twenty years ago, it was a narrow escape. He is NOT getting involved again."I have no idea what this business is about, Doc. Now, if you will excuse me..." He proceeded to pull the cell phone away from his ear."Dr. Angor told me all about you. How you helped us capture Number 6.""Well, you were not able to keep him, were you?" He snarled, "Instead, he escaped, killed all of you, and burned your biggest laboratory to the ground.""His escape was a...mistake that was unforeseen. This time around we prepared a more soothing cage for him made with rhodium and morgan silver. He will not be
Ismena came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. It's her first-day learning how to fight from Eline and she'll have to admit that it's completely different from the self-defense classes she took."I'll turn into a monkey at this rate." She'd blurted out to Eline when the cougar woman seemed hell-bent on teaching her how to climb tall trees.According to Eline, it's the first defense she as a human should learn when faced with an unexpected attack from Wild Ones. Now, her arms hurt but she was excited. She'd learned.She heard the sitting room door open and heard Eline's almost inaudible footsteps as she walked in. "I thought you already went to the border?" She'd told her that she has a duty post there today. "I forgot my babies" Eline called out. Followed by the stroking sound of daggers in the air.Ismena rolled her eyes and proceeded to put on lotion on her body. "Don't forget to drink the potion I dropped on top of your table. It'll help your arm!" Eline called out again bef
An hour later, they were on their way back from the evening walk when he swiveled his head to the side and announced, "I am going to your world."The words, so unexpected, took Ismena aback. "You are? When? ""Tonight. The jet is ready. " He walked steadily beside her. "I have an important business to take care of."Ismena's spirit, which had remained lifted all evening, suddenly fell. Her smile dimmed. "Oh... Okay."I do not know how long the business will take to be finalized, but I do not have the intention of staying there for a long time. I have to be back before Nalaila finds out that I am not in Naturiah. " A sad look crossed his features."How does she know?" She asked, baffled. Ismena knows that Nalaila has been trapped in wolf-form for eighteen years now."She feels it. She is my sister after all. " He started as if it answered all. Maybe it does.Ismena was doing her best to contain her own sadness. He's going away with no definite time of return."Can I come with?" She blu
A strangled scream tore from her throat at his invasion. She felt his balls slap against her buttocks, watched his hard face twist into a grimace of sublime pleasure, his eyes closed, his body arched, tight, and tense.Her eyes watered, and the burning feeling overwhelmed the pleasure for a full minute. Her hands tightened on his arms; her body went taut."By the moon..." Wolfaraine growled as he fought for breath, for control. She was so tight and hot around his cock, her muscles gripping him like a slick, velvety fist.Control. He had to fight for control. He had to control the raging lust beating at him, demanding a hard, fierce ride. He had to control the wolf, demanding to be let to the surface. Not to mention that her body language indicated that she was hurting."Easy, easy..." His soothing growl was more animal than man. "I've got you, Ena."She let out a small whimper. A shudder went through her body.Slowly, he pulled out of her, hearing her shuddering breath of relief. His
A week later, Ismena walked through the huge front door of his tower. Her eyes took in the tall walls that surrounded the space as she walked towards the stairs.She has barely been here since he left because she'd tried to keep her mind away from him. Not thinking about him will help her not to miss him, she'd said to herself. The only problem she didn't count on was the fact that she thought about him all the time.Every little thing reminds her of him. Eline's house, her bedroom, shower, a walk with the cougar sentinel, Everything. She missed him so damn much it was troubling. Her body had felt him for days after he felt, which didn't help.The scratch the mountain lion had given her on the hips still reminded her of him too. Even after a week, it still marveled her how she forgot of that violent part of him. Fortunately, he'd remembered enough to be able to control himself in the throes of passion. The memories of it never cease to make her turn red, and the memories are always
Her heart logged in her throat like a giant lump that wouldn't go down no matter how much she swallowed."What happened, mother? Stop crying and tell me, please." Her own voice sounded hollow in her own ears."Valentina fainted this afternoon, so we took her to the hospi-tal. She has a perforated appendix, the doctor said her life is in grave danger! She was taken in for emergency surgery! The doctor said she could die!" Her mother rambled on, sobbing uncontrollably.Hospital!? Emergency surgery..!? Her sister had a burst appendix!? Tina could die...?"Oh God, please stop crying, mother, please. Try to get yourself together, I'm coming, alright!?" She raised her tone higher, even as she tried her best to keep her panic at bay, "Do you hear me!?""I should have never i-ignored her when she was saying that her stomach problems w-w-were nothing. Oh, my Jesus! What do I do now, Ismena!? What do I do!? I'm so scared, I'm so scared! I hate hospitals so much, I'm going out of my m-mind!" Her
"No, it is not, Alpha." In a rush, she told him everything that was happening and how they came to find him. "Please, help us, Alpha. Please?" She finished.Alpha Alphose felt bad for the Alpha King's mate, but he was already shaking his head before Eline was done telling him everything. "She cannot go to the human world, Eline, you know this."Ismena grabbed hold of his arm to get his attention, "Please, Alpha Alphose, please help me... Please, I cannot stay here while my sister..." Shaking her head, her eyes pleaded with him, "Please, Alpha Alphose, please...!""This is a bad idea from all directions, Ismena. Your life is in danger and the Alpha King does not know about this—he will never approve if he did. What if the Wolfhunters—""We will not stay longer than necessary, please. They will not know if we don't stay long, and even if they find out, we would have already left before they arrive. Please, help me."Alphose tried again, "But, Ismena—" Ismena lowered herself to her kne
NATURIAHLike Alphose planned, he got to the Wild Forest, made a half-shift, and presented his back to Ismena.She swallowed the fear that rose to her throat at seeing him in a half-shift. After staying in Naturiah all this while, Ismena can't quite decide whick one scares her more; the half-shift form or the full-shift form.In half-shift; the changeling grows a foot taller like a giant, his size enlarges, his fingers turn to claws, sharp fangs replace teeth and hair covers almost every part of their body. Their face takes on their animal features too.Alphose turned and fixed her with green eyes that were gentle instead of aggressive. "Do not be scared, Ismena, and get on." His voice is a growl, so much deeper than usual. Almost all animal.She swallowed visibly. An image of her sister formed in her head, lying down in the hospital unconscious, being operated on, and fighting for her life.Eyes closed, she covered the distance between her small form and the giant Alphose in half-shi
