***********************Claire's POVI continued, faster this time around, he was finding it hard to stand straight, I gently guarded his steps so he could rest his back against the wall, while I still had his meat fully in my mouth I tore his shirt open leaving his bare chest.I kept on doing this continuously, going between increasing speed and reducing speed. I could tell he was enjoying it because of the way he had his hands on my head and how he was gently parting and caressing my hair.I stood up after a long while of servicing his meat and began to kiss him slowly from his waist up to his chest then I started to devour his nipples. He was gasping for hair and moaning in ecstasy; I knew that there was no way I would finish this, and he wouldn't give me what I wanted. I played and fumbled with his nipples so well. His nipples were round and pointed so it made it easier for me to hold on to with my lips."Claire"He was whispering my name; I smiled lightly because I knew I had w
************************Adrian's POV'I really hope I made the right decision,' I thought to myself, pacing the length of my room. Claire had a way of making me bend to her will, no matter how hard I tried to resist. Since the last time I gave in to her, she’s had me wrapped around her finger, and I hated how weak I felt because of it. It had been weeks since I last had sex. I kept telling myself I could hold out, that I had more control than this, but the moment she pressed herself against me, whispering those promises in my ear, I crumbled. Lord knows I needed release. My body screamed for it, and despite my better judgment, I couldn’t resist Claire. She knew my weaknesses and exploited them masterfully. Among all the women I’d been with, Claire was at the top of the list. Her wildness in bed was unmatched, and yet, it wasn’t enough. There was always something lacking. Satisfaction, yes, but not fulfillment. Not the kind of fulfillment I had felt that one night with Lena—the nigh
****************************Ethan's POV"Why is this taking so long?" I grumbled, pacing the room in frustration. My gaze flicked over to my sister, Sophia, who lay in bed looking far too calm given the situation. "It's been six hours since my Beta returned, saying they had some information. Why hasn't anyone come to update us?" I vented, unable to contain the irritation any longer."Relax, Ethan. Someone will come soon. Just be patient," Sophia replied, her voice calm and steady, as if she were the one trying to soothe me instead of the other way around.I should be the one comforting her—she was the one who was sick, after all. Instead, here I was, burdening her with my own anxieties. I couldn’t help but feel the weight of my guilt. I wasn’t just worried about finding Lena for my sake, but for my sister’s as well. She had suffered enough.I needed to apologize to Lena. I had wronged her in so many ways. It's true what they say: you don't realize what you have until it's gone. In m
**************Ethan's POV The informant was taken to one of the maids. A hot bath was prepared for her, after which she ate. While she was eating, she ate like someone who hadn't eaten for days. "Are you okay with the food?" my sister asked when she seemed to be done."Yes, ma'am, I am done. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Your Highnesses," the omega wolf said."You're welcome. Do tell me about yourself first before we begin to talk about the main reason why you're here," Sophia said.I looked at her with a disapproving look. For Christ's sake, she was supposed to tell us about Lena and not herself! What was my sister doing? I felt a little bit angry, but what could I do? It was my precious sister, so I decided to just draw out a seat and watch how Sophia handles the matter."Do you have a family?" Sophia asked."My parents died in a ghastly motor accident. Their bodies were crushed to pieces," she said."Oh, I'm sorry about that," Sophia said."It's fine, ma'am. It was a long t
************Ethan's POV I was left in shock, with the letter in my hands. One statement she made left me dumbfounded:"She really hoped you were her saving grace." This kept on hitting me in my heart. She hoped I was her saving grace, but I ended up being her worst nightmare. I didn't even bother to think of how she was going to cope with the mate bond being broken.Breaking the bond comes with a lot of pain in the heart, and it's so surprising that all you need to do if you want to break a bond is just to declare it in front of your mate. For something that comes with such pain, it appears to be easily broken. I wasn't sure of what to do. The information broke my heart to pieces. I never knew her folks were this horrible to her as well, and the fact that she got pregnant by a stranger who appears to be an alpha of a pack who might probably be an enemy of ours. "Are you going to read the letter out loud or are you just gonna stand there regretting your past actions?"I jerked back
******************Ethan's POV*I tried to convince Sophia to get some rest, but she refused, insisting she wouldn't rest until we found Lena."I want to find Lena as badly as you do, but I can't do that if you're about to collapse," I said."I'm stronger than you can ever imagine," she retorted.No doubt my sister is strong, but right now, she looked like she might drop dead any moment. I tried my best to persuade her, but she remained adamant.After a while, my Beta returned with my former beta."Greetings, my lord. It's an honor and a privilege to stand before you once more, ready to serve," he said, kneeling.I looked at him. He was unkempt, clearly not faring well wherever he'd been. He resembled an abandoned lone wolf, and I felt a pang of pity. Before becoming my Beta, he was my friend. We had shared many secrets, which made his betrayal all the more painful. I knew it wasn't entirely his fault; Lauren might have blackmailed him or left him no choice. Knowing Lauren, she'd do a
*************************Adrian's POV*I kept calling out to Ian, but he wasn't answering. He remained awfully quiet. I begged and pleaded, but to no avail. Deep down, I sensed something coming—danger drawing nigh. It's all the more reason why I couldn't bear to think that Ian had disappeared again.The last time this happened, it was far from funny. I was lucky Ian had shown up at my lowest point.My head was swimming with thoughts. I had to find a way to save Lena, guilt gnawing at me after giving Claire consent to do whatever she liked. I knew that at this very moment, Claire would be hatching her plans to find the black witch.I called my Beta, who rushed in."Go check if Claire is in her chambers. If she isn't there, check her father's place as well," I ordered."Yes, my lord," he said and left.After a while, he returned, reporting that Claire was nowhere to be found in or around the pack's abode. He also mentioned that some guards and maids were missing. I knew instantly that
*********************Adrian's POV*"How many times do I have to tell you that no one knows I'm here... except—" Lena paused as if suddenly recalling something."Except what?" I asked anxiously.She seemed lost in thought. I moved closer to her cell, standing directly in front of her, and repeated my question. Finally, she answered."Except my only friend back in my former pack," she sighed, as if she had completely forgotten about this person."How have you been communicating with her?" I pressed."We communicate through letters, but since I was called a spy and framed, I haven't written to her," she explained."What were the contents of these letters?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure."I told her how my life had turned out for the better. The last one I sent was about Claire wanting to end me by all means possible, and that you were involved in it."Anger surged through me. I banged on her cell loudly, the force throwing her back. Surprisingly, she didn't fall or hit her he
