Thank you for reading!
I look at River; it is her. She has gained quite a bit, and her short, lighter hair suits her. Sitting beside her is an employee of my home; he works in the security department. Could it be that River seduced him before she was kicked out of the house? That's why she was able to get into the building undetected. " Long time no see, Princess," she drawls the word princess. I glare at her, and she smirks. " Aren't you going to say anything?" she asks. I purse my lips, trying to mind-link my husband, but I can't. I try my father and siblings, but it's all dark. What the fuck happened? " Mind link won't work. A witch friend of mine cast a spell," " So what happens now?" I ask, slumping in my seat. " I'll get rid of you," she answers calmly. I try not to panic or do anything reckless that might endanger my life and that of my unborn baby. It might be worse if she knows I'm with a child. " Drive, Ambani," she tells the man in the driver's seat. An intense scent suddenly chokes me
Zuriel Anger: I'd never felt as much rage against someone as I did for River. My wolf takes over when I see her hitting my mate. Elara is on the floor, covered in blood. I can't hear anything past my growls. I pin the man who worked in my home for years to the ground with my leg while I grab River by the neck and throw her across the wall. I lift the security guard and squeeze his throat; he is shaking in fear, whimpering as he knows his end is near. River attempts to run away but is struck down by Eloise before she can get far. I glare at the security guard with fury, and before he can utter a word, I hit him until he is bleeding. I leave his unconscious body on the floor and approach River. She is backing away from me, sobbing, tears streaming down her face, and I can hear the blood rushing through my veins. " Z- z, she took you from me," " Didn't I warn you not to come close to my mate?" I growl, my body shaking. " Zuriel, you need to take her to the hospital; I'll deal wi
Zuriel Shit. Shit. I can't leave my mate now, not in her condition. However, my sister looks at me with worry in her eyes, her fingers agitating slightly. " I can't leave now," " I know the situation with your mate is delicate right now, but we need to be in the capital before our uncle," She sighs and cups my face, sensing my hesitation, " Elara is safe; your child is, too. We will return a month before the little hatchling is born. Mother will take care of her," I run a finger in my hair. My heart is uneasy; how can I leave when she is unconscious? I go into Elara's room. She is sleeping soundly in the bed; her face has bruises, and a few machines are attached to her body. The heart monitor shows her breathing rate. I sit at the edge of the bed, carefully hugging her without hurting her. I stay in the embrace for a long time, and her eyes slowly flutter open when I pull away. I feel the hotness and wetness from earlier again in my eyes. Elara seems to be out of it, pr
Four months: Four months, and we haven't heard anything from my husband and Eloise. I was getting nervous, and the only thing that was keeping me safe was knowing he was alive and well. Halsey had a spy in the Dragon Empire. However, he couldn't get close to my husband or Eloise. The battle was raging on their side. I yearn for a single call from him, a whisper in his voice. Does he not miss me? I caress my growing baby bump, tears welling in my eyes. I will bring our child into this world in two weeks; he won't be here. I've been staying with Halsey these past months at the manor, and she is taking good care of me with the help of Miel and Leban. Bruce and Solena visit me every other day. Bruce is taking this best friend title with Zuriel so seriously that it is funny.My sister, Layla, and I are engrossed in a conversation in the garden when our brothers, Killian and Khai, join us. Their laughter is a welcome distraction. " Good morning, sisters," Khai asks, kissing my cheek and L
My heartbeat races as I gently land on the soft grass in my mother's garden. It has been too long. After the battle with Reuben, both Eloise and I were injured, and we stayed in the hospital for six months recuperating. No one in the empire contacted my mother or my wife as they had no way to, so they didn't know. I'm sure they thought of the worst. " Zuriel, I'll see you later. I need to do something," Eloise says. I nod. She will probably see that lover she left here. It took time to get everything back to normal after my uncle's war, but we did. She and her fiancee agreed to end the arrangement but remained allies. I slowly step towards the manor. It is quiet, as always, at this time. I meet a few guards, but they bow, a little shocked to see me. I reach the second floor, ready to go to my old bedroom, where my mate is; I can feel her and her scent swirling around. However, I stop when I hear soft giggles. I listen to it again and turn, walking towards the delightful soon. I fee
I'm sitting at the kitchen table, Zuriel trying to cook breakfast with Leban's help. The poor man is trying his best, but it seems impossible. " Dada!" my baby yells, making cute noises as I feed her porridge. She makes a sour face and throws the spoon in my face. I scowl, giving up. Zuriel will do it. He's one of the three people that can make her eat without a fuss. Since my husband has been back, the two are glued to the bone. It's freaking insane and cute to see. Zuriel stays up with our little Zurilynn and gets her ready every morning. They make a mess, but I'm happy to clean up afterward. He placed a cup of tea in front of me, " Here you go, my love." He then got a towel and handed it to me. I smile at him and watch him go back to the stove. " Should I put the carrots now?" he asks Leban, who smiles and nods. " And then, we wait," Leban says. Zuriel walks over to our daughter, gets her out of her seat, and carries her in his arms, kissing her chubby cheek. " Dada!" she
The wedding ceremony was impressive. We partied from dusk to dawn. My baby was with her grandparents, who left early to put her to bed. We presented Solena and Bruce with our gift, an all-paid honeymoon in Rome. I have known it was Sol's honeymoon destination since we were little girls. After the party, we stayed at the Villa; we didn't leave our room or bed. We had too much to drink, and my body was sore. " We should check in with my parents, Zuri might be crying," I say groggily. My mate pulls me closer to him. " I did already, and she's alright. They are having a family picnic," he yawns. He suddenly starts to kiss my neck slowly, and I groan, " Babe," I moan, unable to push him away. " We should rest up before we go back," I feel wet by his advances. " But I want you to fuck me," he whispers, and I'm awake now. I immediately straddle him and discard my bra and panties. " You're eager," he muses, fondling my breasts. " This is a rare opportunity for me, honey,"
Marie. I was a rogue for as long as I could remember. I was born and raised as one. My father is the rogue king, Sebastian Vlad Moono. He was the worst man I knew, yet I loved him more than anything and only ever wanted to please him. I wanted him to be proud of me. That's why when my father needed someone to infiltrate the largest pack in the region, the Autumn Moon pack, I volunteered and went despite his approval. I was leaving my father's side to join a pack and act like a rogue in dire need of help so that I could study their weaknesses and strengths. Father was planning a hit on them. I needed to play the damsel in distress, so I went to the Autumn Moon border and acted the part of a distressed lone wolf being chased by evil rogues. However, I didn't expect the alpha to be the one to save me. He was furious when he saw the rogues 'attacking' me and killed them instantly. I was still in shock, seeing all the dead bodies of my father's men, to realize that the alpha was lookin
My eyes opened the following morning to feature like kisses on my shoulder, and I smiled, recalling what happened last night. Killian said he loved me! I turned around, and he kissed me deeply before I could open my mouth. I answered his kiss, and when we pulled away, I caressed his stubble, " So, it wasn't a dream," I murmur. " No, it wasn't," he smiled, kissing my cheek. I laid on my back, arm over face. " What is it, Layla?" he asked concerned. " I need to talk to Dan and our parents," I sighed. " We'll talk to them together," he said. I smiled slightly at him. I was a little nervous. I rolled off the bed and kissed him as I went to take a shower. When I left the shower ten minutes later, Killian wasn't there. I went to my closet, put on a dress and pumps, fixed my hair, and then went to Daniel's room. I knocked three times, but there was no answer. I pushed the door open and stepped in. " Daniel?" The bed was already made, and his things were gone from the closet. I
Daniel used his phone to find another restaurant for us. He was mad that I hadn't told him I was in love with Killian. Oh, goddess, if only he knew I was still in love with Killian, except this time, my feelings are more substantial. That's why I'm gripped to Daniel's side. Maybe if I focused on him, I wouldn't think about Killian. We had finished eating and walked home. I grabbed his hand, pleased he didn't revolt against my touch. Once we reached home, Daniel kissed me and went to his room. He held my arm and got on my tiptoes, kissing his lips. " I'm sorry," I said quietly. " It's alright, love," he murmurs against my mouth. I kissed his neck, and he smiled, grabbing my ass and lifting me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him again. He grins, eyeing me intently, his eyes dark with lust. He kissed my neck, and his hands touching my skin made me shiver. However, knowing that Killian was somewhere in this house, nothing felt right about being touched by him like t
I was right to dread it because Killian had invited Elise, his ex-girlfriend and now friend. However, the look in her eyes showed that she still wanted him. Elise and I didn't like each other. I thought she was too much and too clingy towards Killian. " You shouldn't come," I murmured to Killian as we approached his convertible. " No, we want to," he grinned. Daniel had a list of things he wanted to do today: visit the museum, take a hot-air balloon ride, and visit the waterfalls. " Just let them come, love. The more the merrier," Daniel chimed. " Yes! Thank you for texting me, Killian. You've made me happy," Elise smiles from ear to ear. Yep, she was. I sat in the back with Daniel while Killian was in the passenger seat with Elise. The girl ran her mouth and talked about all the modeling jobs she got with Killian's help. I rolled my eyes every second she opened her mouth because she was that vain. We first visited all the historical sites before riding the hot air balloon
We arrived at my parents' house, and everyone awaited me, standing before the entrance. I left the car instantly and hugged my mom. She held me tightly, and then I hugged my father. Even though they visited me every three months, I still missed them dearly. I exchanged pleasantries with them and held Daniel's hand, " Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend Daniel, babe, these are my parents, Nalya and Rhegar Silvius," I said. They shook hands, and we went inside the house. I felt a smile on my lips. I was so happy to be home. " You two should freshen up, and we'll have lunch in thirty minutes," Mom said. " Okay, Mom," Daniel and I started to walk upstairs when I heard a growl from Killian. We both turned and stared at him. "Parents, are you letting them stay in the same room?" he gritted his teeth. My parents exchanged a glance. " I'm sure they stayed together in Paris," Mom shrugged. My father scowled, sending a glare towards Daniel. This time, my boyfriend whimpered under my fat
Layla I exhale and inhale as we land. My boyfriend, Daniel, is excited to meet my family. We have been dating for six months and felt it was our natural step since I visited his parents last spring. Daniel is tall, intelligent, and good-looking. We met at the hospital where he works as an intern doctor. He takes my hand, and I smile at him as we leave his plane. We descend the stairs, and I immediately see Killian waiting before his car, looking devilishly handsome with his hand in his pocket. Time stopped as I took him in. He was 6'4 ft with a symmetrical, pleasing, sculptured face created perfectly by the gods —Killian was very attractive, and girls clung to him like bees on honey. I glanced at his chest and involuntarily swallowed. The thin shirt he wore was straining to cover his eight-pack. His intense, bright green eyes were on me, making me shudder. As we approached him, he glanced at our joined hands. He murmured something and glared at my boyfriend. However, Daniel was
I smile and turn, wrapping my arms around my husband's neck—yes, husband. We got married on our first meeting anniversary. " I missed you, baby," he husked in my ear. " I did, too, but you were too busy with the boys, so I couldn't come to you," I whine. He carries me in his arms, and I wrap my legs around him. He started to walk away from the party while still kissing me. I felt desire grow between my legs. My fingers played in his hair and his neck, caressing him. Goosebumps appeared on his skin. I couldn't wait. I wanted him now. I removed his belt, and he helped me out of my top, leaving my breasts exposed to him. He immediately sucked and played with them with his tongue, making me moan. He pushed me against a tree and pulled down his pants along with his boxers, freeing his cock. I spread my thighs, my pussy dripping as he slammed into me. I let out a sigh of relief. " Hmm," I buried my face in his neck as he pounded in me. Our moans echoed the clearing. I gripped his
The truth about me had come out to the pack. The members weren't rude to me, but I could see their hesitation now. They were skeptical. I was glad the Silvius family didn't take it badly and understood my situation. After all, we don't choose our families. They were supportive of me. Khai and I were fostering Hope as we were in the process of legally adopting her. So far, it has been going well, and Khai has been an excellent father to her. However, Hope was still skeptical of him. I was in the kitchen, making breakfast for my daughter while she sat at the barstool when I felt arms around my waist. I smiled as I inhaled my mate's scent. " Good morning," he greeted, relentlessly kissing my neck. I turned and wrapped my arms around his neck. I kissed his cherry lips, and he deepened the kiss. Hope groaned as it got intense, and he pulled apart. " Sorry," I murmured. I couldn't help it. Lately, I feel like a wolf in heat. I want him in me whenever I can get it. " Breakfast?" I as
" Oh fuck," I muttered. Things had escalated quickly. My father was there with his over ten men, and now Khai had joined in the chaos with his beta, growling at the intruders. Before Khai shifted into his human form, several pack warriors appeared at once, growling toward my father, but Sebastian Vlad didn't care. His red eyes were on me, and there was worry in those orbs. I was holding Hope close to me. The poor girl was trembling, and her eyes were shut. Khai shifted into human form, and a guard brought him basketball shorts that he swiftly wore. He immediately rushes to me, kissing my temple and hugging me slightly while his hand rubs Hope's back. " Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?" he asked. No one could miss the fear in his voice; his fingers were touching my temple, which had blood on it from when Nigel banged my head against the window. " I'm fine, Khai," I mumbled, stepping away from him. My actions seemed to hurt him, and I felt a pang of guilt. However, I stayed rooted in
Marie The two guards were on the ground, out cold, but I could tell they were breathing. I turned my head to the side, and my stomach was in knots when I saw Nigel standing a few meters from me with a gun in his hand. I crossed my hands against my chest and glared at him, " What are you doing here? Does Pa know?" I questioned my tone hard. He approached me, looking as confident as ever. He smiled at me and gripped my cheek. I pushed him away, and he laughed. " Your father doesn't know. I came here on my own will," he said. I glanced around at the rogues he came with. I didn't know them. I instinctively took a step back, feeling apprehensive. " T- then why are you here?" I tried to keep my voice firm. He was acting wild. Did he rebel from my father? " I'm here to get you, Princess. I saw your message to Vlad before he could," he informed me. " I know my way to my father's territory; leave before I call my mate," I said, holding my car door. I was pulled back harshly by my hai
