LOGINRAINA’S POV"Moving crew!" Isaac hollered as he entered the alpha floor master bedroom with Jason following behind him."You ring, we swing riiiight on over," Jason added his own flair in announcing his presence, lifting his arms and flexing his biceps at me as he walked over, causing me to laugh at his comical display.“You’re late, no debating that.” Theo gave them an eye-roll, lifting one of the packed boxes Azara had just finished taping up. “You play too much.”"But that's why you keep me around," Jason muttered with an arrogant smile, moving around several open boxes to give me a quick bear hug."No. I keep you around because you turn enemy tech into junk and pop-up ads," Theo corrected him, carrying the box to the stacked set by the door."Oh yeah. That too." Jason grinned crookedly, hugging Azara too. “It’s good you know I can take guys down without throwing a punch.”"Tsk. I can do that for you, Head Gamma. Go ahead and get rid of him," Isaac jested with a wide grin, saunteri
RAINA’S POVMy mind reeled in the heat in my body that I could not put out.My vision swam as I met his eyes, glazed and half-closed. “Please.”Valen smirked, wicked and triumphant. So handsome and salacious."That..." he murmured darkly libidinous, "...is exactly the sound I want to hear."Suddenly, he flipped me over on all fours.“My pretty baby,” he groaned, gently pushing the hem of the shirt up to my nape. He began kissing from there, tenderly trailing his soft lips along my spine while his hands molded my bare ass.Out of nowhere, a heavy pounding came on the room door. Bang! Bang!Like a violent death knell, the banging sound jolted me out of my euphoric daze, and I snapped my gaze at the door."Ignore them." Valen continued kissing down my back.To our dismay, the loud knocking persisted.Annoyed, Valen lifted his head and growled, "I'm going to kill whoever is disturbing us."He straightened and moved towards the door. I turned over and sat up, pulling the opening of the whi
RAINA’S POV“Eyes open.” Valen stuck out his sinful tongue to take a big swipe of my pussy. “Watch me, my Luna.”“Haah,” I gasped and tangled my fingers through his long, white hair.“Your pretty pussy deserves what I’m going to do to it.” He twirled his tongue around my clitoris, his voice thick with dominance. “Rrr, when you’re so sexy, baby.”My eyes fluttered wildly, and the astronomical vibration from his voice filled me, making me moan out, "Good hell, yes."“Don’t you dare close your eyes.” He scolded, his voice dark and divine, and I preened under his erotic command. “Listen to me and be a good girl, or I’ll make you beg for it.”“Ngh. You make me like this,” I breathed out, fighting against the pleasurable haze, but it wasn’t working.He chuckled fondly, seemingly pleased.Then his tongue began its soft torture, sucking and lapping on my wetness, while his hands gripped my round ass, squeezing and pressing me towards his mouth."Right there," I moaned as his tongue swirled ar
RAINA’S POV A fluttery sensation moved in my stomach. The gentle ripples made an odd sense of comfort, peace, and safety fill me.“Mmhmm.” A low, delightful sound escaped me as I woke in bed to that cuddly warmth enveloping me.As my eyes adjusted to the bright bedroom light, I blinked at Valen, surprised to find my heart-throb lying on his side next to me.“Hey, you…” I greeted coarsely, splitting my dry lips with a smile.“Hi gorgeous, sleep okay?” His expression softened. “You looked so peaceful. It was nice seeing you like that.”“Hmm,” I hummed, giving his to-die-for body an appreciative look-over.Valen was shirtless in light blue fleece shorts, staring at me with a warm smile. Even lying down he was tempting to touch. Broad-shouldered, squared-jawed, muscular chest, thick arms and a prowess to match.“Where are we?” I asked, rolling my eyes around the unfamiliar green, blue, and gold-schemed bedroom.The space was cool with the air conditioner running.“This is our room,” he s
VALEN’S POVOur mouths shifted sensually over each other's. My tongue moved around the tender moistness of her mouth, dancing with hers, tasting and tantalizing. The feel of her soft lips washed away all the fears and worries that had been on my mind for the last hour.Tingles shot through my entire body, craving everything we were. Our pull, the connection, everything that made us perfect for each other. I slid my hand down over her buttocks to draw her pelvis up against mine.After a few moments, I could feel her relax into me. Her arousal hit me hard, which made me want more of her lips, but I knew I couldn't do anything.Seconds later, I pulled back with a pant and made sure she had her eyes locked on mine. Even wet and sad, they still captured my soul.That pull. The attraction. The devotion. I’d be mad to screech out to another woman.“Bluebella, I haven’t had any other females in all my life since I found out you were my mate.” My hand moved to the side of her face, smoothing o
VALEN’S POVImpossible.My eyes narrowed, searching Raina’s face.She had expected an immediate answer, but my mouth tightened as I remained silent.She creased her forehead in disappointment as we held each other’s gaze.Then a pained expression crossed her face, and her breathing picked up, chest heaving. She was angry.My heart squeezed, feeling all that emotion firing through the bond.When she could not stand the silence, she crossed her arms. “Why are you making that face? How bad is it? You want her, is that it?”“No, baby, it’s not that,” I began, edging closer to her, reaching out a hand. “It’s just, oww…”I rubbed the area that she hit when she twisted around to grab a pen from the table and threw it at me.“Like seriously, you almost gave me a heart attack,” she snapped, letting out a shaky breath.I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh, irked by that grave-crawling parasite, Jiya. I knew she’d be a problem, and I had a feeling that this was just the start of our troubles. I cu
RAINA’S POVStrappy heels like mine weren't designed for running. Nothing screamed ‘go for action’ like rapidly sinking into the semi-packed dirt, which annoyingly slowed down my pace to a wobble.By the time I narrowed the curve of the dark cabin, my heart lurched in relief. Right then and there,
VALEN’S POVFalling stardust formed into a colorful, glittering note that floated down when the fireworks fizzled out.Raina lifted her hand as it settled in her palm, illuminating like a heavenly gift.Sucking in a huge shuddering breath of air, Raina stumbled backwards, blinking rapidly at it in
RAINA'S POV“Oh, Raina, here’s the story that no one told you about. It’s in the Wolverson archives. The one where, every twenty years, the vicennial Alpha King’s reign comes with a curse. Sometimes it’s power. Other times it’s wealth, but this time, it’s his mate. You.” Mercedes’ tone darkened, to
THIRD PERSON’S POVRaina froze. Her eyes twitched, and her mouth dropped like Daffy Duck’s beak hitting the ground.“You’re what?!” With her blood hurtling against her eardrums, Raina crushed the paper as her hands coiled into fists. “Who?”“That conversation is not for you. Until my son wakes up a
