LOGINRAINA’S POVMercedes' head slowly turned as she regarded them, and her face lit up with a smile. In the mindscape, she looked as healthy and wholesome as she did before getting sick.Her parents rushed over to her, their hands trembling as they reached for her.“It’s Dad,” Connery whispered, holding her hands. “I’m here, sweetheart.”“Mommy’s here too.” Bessa sobbed, grasping her face and kissing her on the cheek.My eyes watered when the three of them hugged and cried. It was a real heartfelt moment. They told her they loved her, even remembered some cute childhood moments, and begged each other for forgiveness about everything.It lasted a while, and I was caught up in their sentimental moment until I began to feel drained and emotionally heavy.Out of nowhere, a whisper of a breath ghosted over me. My breath caught, and every hair on my arms stood on end.Apparently, Mercedes had taken her last breath. That explained the cold chill running down my spine and the goosebumps sprinklin
RAINA’S POV“Vaheed left already?” Theo sounded so disappointed as he stared at me. He stood across from me, leaning against the wall in the off-white private waiting room at the hospital. He hooked his thumbs into his front pockets and asked, “He took Zack and Isaac without thinking about his other friends?”“Yeah. When we told him about what happened with Venus, he and Valen got into it, and then he took off,” I explained, shifting in the patient's chair beside Azara. I was saddened that the brothers fought again yesterday. “I suspect he’s gone to Homeva Ferny to see Venus and his parents.”“What a dickhead,” Theo groused, frowning. He huffed out a breath, and then turned the whole thing on me. “But you didn’t call me either. You called Devin to part the fight, instead of me.” He widened his arms, questioningly. “What am I? The benched sidekick?”My brows quirked up, and I leveled him a look. “He’s a grown man. He missed his parents and twin. What was I supposed to do? Lock him up u
VALEN’S POVUnder the warm afternoon sun, the pack assembled at the grand outdoor amphitheater. The stage was bare. Usually, I didn’t need the microphone or the speakers. I was sure the implacable anger in my veins was enough to carry my voice as I addressed them.“The Elders and the Alphas got their chance. They failed with Alpha-female Mercedes Femoris, and now they’ve failed with the rogue, Jiya Kaur, who is the masked criminal behind the name Kavya Leone.” I held up two digits as I glanced around the audience. “Twice they have double-crossed me. Twice they have thrown other women at me, and they have both been deceptive.” I shot a vicious glare to my left on the raised platform, thinking about how they tried to play me like a fool.Zeus’ hackles rose as he listened, his warning growl reverberating through my chest. “Grifters!” I roared venomously with violent vermilion slits, feeling my aura unleash with scathing ire. “Insolent wretches.”The Elders cowered, bowed their heads in
RAINA’S POVA laugh rumbled from Valen’s chest, the contented purring of his wolf blending into it.“The name is perfect because you love long things.” He wagged his white brows. “Besides, Hera says you’re going to wear it. If you have any issues, take it up with your wolf.”I rolled my eyes and grumbled, “She lets you get away with anything.”Holding my gaze, he slowly released me. His massive cock tensed and twitched as he gradually glided it out of my core. My mouth split wide open in a gasp at the tingling sensation; heat rushed between my thighs, and I clenched around him.He was doing it purposely, because his eyes glinted with mischief and he grinned at my reaction. “See what I mean. Even your pussy wants to keep my long general in there.”My ears caught fire as I gaped at him.“You…” I slapped at him.Laughing, he caught my wrist as he scooted to the other end of the couch to sit up. His hold on me tugged me there with him. I ended up slouching against him on my side; my back
RAINA’S POVValen grasped my hips and pulled my butt to the edge, still keeping my back on the couch cushion. He then held my legs and put them on his shoulders, and in an instant his mouth attached to my hot pussy.He licked and bit me like his favorite fruit purée, and I kept on moaning. Pleasure coiled fast, too fast. He traced circles around my clit with his tongue, tasting me, teasing me. He mixed combinations by flicking his tongue in and out of my entrance and doing it on repeat.“Valen, baby. Oh, damn, Valen.” His name rolled off of my lips like a prayer.My hands flew to his hair, burying my fingers in the strands as I pushed his head down on my pussy.His tongue went up and down across my folds, and plunged inside. The hotness of his mouth and the coolness of his breath on my pussy were so maddening.“More,” I mewled, arching my back as his tongue kept on giving me that sweet whirlpool of pleasure.Unknowingly, I started to grind my hips around his mouth. I was getting closer
RAINA’S POV I blinked up, getting snared by his mesmerizing emeralds.Valen bent over me with his broad shoulders, trapping me under his towering, bulky frame. Suddenly, the couch felt like a cage, and I wondered if this was about me wanting him to stop pursuing the man involved with Jiya.He breathed hard through his nose, his eyes fixed on me. The aggressive black of his beast slowly swallowed the emerald in his eyes, until nothing remained but his predatory stare.“You think I was upset in there because I was jealous over some man?” he asked, his voice low enough to rattle the living room.I opened my mouth to sass him, but he crashed his lips on mine, and my brain packed up my thoughts and left.Sparks erupted as I returned the kiss so naturally, clutching the pads of the couch. I moaned softly into his mouth when his tongue plunged in. Punishing and breath-stealing as his soft lips did their aggressive torture on me, making my core throb.As quickly as he kissed me, he pulled aw
RAINA’S POV"You're the one who massacred forty of our warriors, carving letters on their torsos like a sick bastard,” I hissed, my tongue feeling heavy and bitter in my mouth.“Your compliment flatters me,” Turco touched his chest and gave me a brief, arrogant bow. “I pride myself on my work. Noth
VALEN’S POVLetting the thrumming bond guide my teleportation, I ended up at the entrance of the hospital, where a crowd had gathered.A deep growl from me parted them instantly, and I strode towards my mate in large, urgent steps. The Worgen followed my shimmer but was mindful of keeping some dist
RAINA’S POVAbove the uproar, Connery barked at Devin. “Put her down!”“She’s been drugged,” Bessa whirled to Alpha Vance, accusing us. “They did something to my baby.”No one paid the Femoris duo any attention. The Elders were busy cursing under their breaths and engrossed in the stunning revelati
VALEN’S POVHeidi's tipsy squeal stole our attention. Raina and I couldn't help but laugh at her antics and poor timing."Oh, my Gosh! You two look so happy. It's so perfect. I can't even look at you!" Heidi squealed, meandering closer to us."Thanks?" Raina responded with a laugh."The girls and I
