Kara I darted out of the room, my heart pounding in my chest. He touched me … there. I couldn’t focus on the fact he spanked me or any of the pain I felt from my burning ass. All I could think of was that he touched me. I could still feel the ghost of his fingers brushing over me. My whole body was burning and I could feel a heat growing between my legs that I had only ever felt after being drugged. I pressed my legs together, hoping to stem the ache that was growing there. Oh goddess, this is so embarrassing. Despite everything, one thing consumed my thoughts. His disgust at how he looked at me, that I liked him touching me. I repulsed him. That hurt above everything else. His rejection after everything I had gone through this was what brought me the most pain. I ran down the stairs not looking where I was going when I fell tripping over my feet and rolling down the stairs. No doubt Marquis will find me soon enough, but I needed a minute. A girl could have a minute, right? I lay
Elio, I stood under the cascading water, feeling the steam rise around me, as I fervently tried to wash away the acrid stench of smoke and the lingering scent of burning flesh. The faint remnants of charred particles clung to my skin, taunting me with their reminders. My demon side was contented, at least, but my wolf still wasn’t happy about not going to see Kara. I let the powerful jets of scalding, steamy water soothe me. Nothing compared to a good hot shower for clearing the mind. I stayed there longer than I needed to. Here, there were no time demands, no stress, no need to chase anyone - just pure relaxation. There was a niggle in the back of my mind … those silver bullets there had been causing havoc in Darkpaw Junction. I had heard people mentioning them as I headed back to my car. Selling weapons was another speciality of mine. I had everything anyone could ever dream of. It’s why no pack dared to challenge me. There was only one thing I knew I wasn’t responsible for … tho
Elio The entire night was filled with restlessness as I tossed and turned, feeling the duvet cover suffocate my body as it wrapped tightly around me. I sat up, running a hand over my head. I needed to see her. My wolf and demon were restless and until they had both seen her with their own eyes, there would be no sleep for me. “Fine, I’m up,” I growled at both of them, pain in the ass that they were. As I headed the many stairs, the castle was quiet at this hour. Only a handful of night guards and patrols were present, acknowledging me with nods or baring their necks, occasionally whispering “alpha,” as I walked by. Being awake at this hour was unusual for me, but it was also not an uncommon occurrence. I could feel their confusion as I confidently walked through the hallways, descended another flight of stairs, the moonlight shining through the windows. Fuck it, why did I send her so far away? As I rounded the next corridor, the delicate aroma of roses and sunshine gently wafted t
Elio I wake early the next day, having slept better than I have in years. Sunshine and roses fill my senses as I look down, seeing my body wrapped up in hers. Fuck, when did I get under the covers? My morning wood is throbbing as it digs into her stomach; she wriggles and I groan, feeling tingles travel over my skin where she touches me. I need to get out of here. I don’t know how she will feel if she wakes up with me here. Besides, I need to explain why she is now back in her room. I had her room swept after she insisted on getting her things, but my men couldn’t find anything other than clothes. I try to peel myself out of her hold, but she just nestles in closer, her body brushing my dick, and it feels far better than I could have imagined. Fuck. She really must be my mate. It’s just I don’t deserve her; she has been through so much too much. She needs someone kind, gentle to take care of her. All I will bring her is more of the same. Pain. Right then and there, I decide to mak
Kara Things in the Crimson moon pack were strange. My surroundings shifted, and I blinked in surprise as I realised I was no longer on the omega floor, but back in my old room once again. Not only had I never been sleeping better, but I also woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A comforting warmth enveloped me, providing a sense of security and cosiness. Things I had never felt before when sleeping. My nightmares were becoming less frequent, too. Despite the fiery caramel smell I would wake up to. I hadn’t seen Elio in days. Either he was watching me sleep or I do not know what he was doing. But at some point in the night, he would creep into my room because his scent was gradually seeping everywhere. My pillows, duvet, clothes, hair reeked of it. I caught Marquis giving me curious glances when he would walk with me around the castle. Every time I would almost trip or fall, he would hastily rush to catch me then immediately take several paces back as if nothing had happened.
Elio I made my way to the dining hall, feeling restless as the hours ticked by. I headed to the dining hall, my wolf restless as the hours ticked by. Naomi wanted her dinner, and I wanted to avoid … her. Every time I considered giving in to her, the memories I had watched in her dreams haunted me, reminding me I couldn’t be with her. I opened the door seeing the extravagantly decorated room, adorned with blue silk and wild flowers. The scent made my nose itch. The only flower I had ever loved was roses, but even they were now spoiled for me. I entered the room, my aura emanating as I looked around, wondering where she was. Suddenly, I heard the sound of heels clacking, and slowly turned, remembering just how stunning my little wolf looked when she walked in. Temporarily, I held onto the hope that it was really her. Naomi stood there, dressed provocatively, in a red robe adorned with black lace trim. The colour seamlessly matched her lipstick as she elegantly approached me. Is she a
Kara My mouth goes dry as I stand there, unsure of what to say. I can't tell what he thinks because I'm too worried about the fact that I just got caught. This wasn’t part of the plan. I brush away the tears from my eyes, my face no doubt red and blotchy from them. I think about lying, but as I stand here in the middle of the night with my bag slung over my shoulder, I can’t think of another excuse as to why I am out here. His eyes narrow as he looks me over, his keen gaze making me feel like he can read my thoughts. The only thing that still shocks me is that he hasn’t raised the alarm. No other guards are coming here to escort me back, and for some reason, that feels worse. “Did you hear me? I asked if you’re running away?” he snaps, a bitter edge to his voice, as I involuntarily take a step back. Despite the hollow feeling in my chest, I am still in shock at what just happened. Elio is my mate. I play the idea around in my mind; it makes sense after all. There were signs, and som
Elio As I reluctantly kissed Naomi, a nauseating wave of sickness engulfed me. Her lips tasted like ash, leaving a bitter aftertaste and a sense of emptiness. Every fibre of my being screamed at me to push her away and chase after Kara, but doing so would mean breaking my promise to Kara. I didn’t want to hurt her, but it seemed that I had done so regardless. As Naomi’s hands ventured towards my dick, I snapped. I couldn't bear to keep up this act any further. I vigorously pushed her away, the impact sending her body hurtling across the room, while I gasped for air. In that moment, I realised that no matter how hard I tried, I could never desire anyone as much as I did my little wolf, my mate. I ran my hand down my face, feeling the weight of the situation. I heard Naomi shuffling to her feet, clearly angry, and I couldn’t blame her. Nevertheless, I was done with her. “Elio, what the hell?” she cried, brushing off the food and broken dishes from her body. I didn’t care about the mess

Kara 5 years later Chaos reigned in every direction. As an omega, I like things clean and tidy but with kids … impossible, especially when you find yourself surrounded by their cousins and friends. Six, there were six of them. Elio thank the goddess was with me. I had agreed to look after Luca whilst Aurora was having a few issues with the twins. The triplets were there, along with our two Xander and Aria, and Addison, who had suddenly joined our pack. Addison was the same age as Aria, and they generally got along. “MUM!!!! Aria is doing it again!” Xander bellowed from across the hall. He’s such a sweet boy, but his sister sure gets under his skin. “Aria, what are you doing to your poor brother now?” I ask as I see her trying to stuff jelly into his ears and nose. Addison, I can see hiding behind the Xander as she tries to hand him a tissue to help get the jelly out. “Where did this jelly come from?” I ask as she shrugs, batting her lashes, looking at the picture of innocence. I hea
Kara 5 months later I rubbed my rather enormous belly once more, feeling my little pup kick. It turns out Elio had been right, and I was pregnant after my heat. I was relieved because I’m not sure how much I enjoyed feeling my insides burn unless he was pounding me raw. Although I will have to think of something because I’m not pumping out kids like my sister has done to avoid her heat. Although considering she has an extra 7 days on me, I can see why she does. I was sitting in Aaliyah and Cahya’s quarters whilst we put together the final touches of our plan regarding the omega floor and hierarchy of our pack. We wanted status to be determined by rank that was earned, not because of their blood. Both Elio and Cahya had come clean to the pack they were hybrids … it took them a few more months to tell the pack what kind of hybrid but as Baylee and Marquis had insisted they can’t protect their alpha if they don’t know what the pack could be up against. They had also told Elio they had
Elio “Marquis don’t let anyone come to my floor and ignore all and any of your lunas requests,” I link him as I see him taking his place at the bottom of the steps nodding at me as I walk by, “Yes alpha,” I can still make out Kara’s screams from the floor above. I headed to the cells expeditiously enough, checking on Naomi first as I inspected her back. “Use the silver whip tomorrow and a dash of wolfsbane never hurt either,” I reminded the guard as he smiled knowingly before I turned, heading for Katie’s cell. “Of course, alpha,” he tells me as I reach the next cell. Katie, in comparison, looked much better now, wearing some of Kara’s clothes after her shower as she licked her fingers, the chocolate frosting covering all of her digits as she stuffed her face. She looked up, seeing me there before she excavated more cake into her mouth. Half of it smeared around her face. I’m surprised she wasn’t sick. She swallowed down her mouthful before she gave me a look. “You don’t waste any t
Elio I waited upstairs for Kara to return and when she did; I noticed her sleeves were waiting, and she had a deep frown on her face. “What happened?” she told me everything as I listened and waited for her to finish my jaw clenching around some of the details but still she continued. I was sitting by the fire as I watched the flames flicker, their heat warming my skin. I pulled Kara in to my lap as she finished speaking. “Have you headed the name Tobin Adnet before?” she asked, biting her lip with eyes wide. It was concerning, they had enlisted a witch to help them. I wish I thought of it sooner. I shook my head as I settled my hands on her waist when an image of a man appeared in the flames. He looked strangely familiar, which posed several problems. “I know what she did was wrong, but I need you to show mercy to them. The pack was just following orders and Katie has suffered enough. I know she has. Please,” it was her plea that mollified me or I may not have agreed. “Fine, I’ll h
Kara I headed down to the cells. The temperature dropped noticeably down here. A metallic scent permeated the air while patches of dark red dried blood on the walls and floor sent a shiver down my spine. I had no expectations for how Katie might react seeing me, in truth I hadn’t known her all that long and she had always been so warm and kind to me that I looked past any red flags she may have had or didn’t want to pry into her or Dawsons bond. Perhaps if I had, things would be different. She wouldn’t be rotting in a cell and her mate and other pack members killed. Having said that, it could be the case seeing her pack is responsible for all the silver bullets killing wolves. When I reach her cell, the guards standing close by I gasp, seeing the state she is in. When I reach her cell, I gasp at the state she is in - her hair, usually bouncing and shiny, is now matted at the ends and greasy on top. Dirt stains covered her clothes everywhere, leaving them tattered. She was also extre
Kara I still had the smug grin on my face as I walked into Aaliyah’s hospital room, where she was holding two beautiful babies and Cahya was holding one. She had triplets, two girls and a boy, the cutest little munchkins since Luca. Their mocha coloured skin and bright blue eyes with a few tufts of red hair made them all so gorgeous. Aaliyah looked exhausted as she cuddled them. Cahya beamed with pride as he boasted to Marquis and Baylee about how they were the most handsome and beautiful kids and if they ever had kids, they would not be as beautiful as his. Candice sat with Aaliyah, wiping her brow that still had a light sheen of sweat, while the doctor rushed out and gave Cahya a weary look. I wonder precisely what had occurred before we arrived. No wonder he was in such a hurry to get back. “Where’s Elio?” Aaliyah asked, a sleepy expression on her face, but despite how challenging her delivery had been, she seemed to glow. “He’ll be in shortly,” I told her as I came to sit by the
Elio Kara’s cheeks burnt red and I resisted teasing her further, although she was trying with all her might to pry me off of her. The door clicked open, and she screamed as my lips popped from her hard bud. Our doctor had barely taken a step before I mind linked him to stop him entering further. “Can you meet us in the room next to mine?” I demanded, as Kara shuddered above me. The door swiftly closed as she glared at me, despite her body reacting to every flick of my tongue. Seeing as we didn’t have much time, I dropped her back into the bath, the water splashing over the sides as I quickly helped clean her. Her fingernails dug into my wrist as she gripped the rim of the tub with the other. “Elio, what are you doing!” she pants and honestly, I’m not sure if I’m trying to help clean her or get her off once more. “Be quick, little wolf. You don’t have long,” she snarls at me in response as the water splashes between her legs before her legs shake as she bites her lip, trembling before
KaraThe sun shone through the window, heating my skin as I winced. Every cell in my body hurt, I peered my eyes open seeing the carnage around me tables and chair knocked over clothes and bedding ripped. My core was on fire and not in a good way. It felt like an endless train had passed right through me. “Ouch” I tried sitting up, but that just made everything worse. I felt the bed dip beside me. I knew who it was his scent told me everything I needed to know. When I gazed into his eyes, though, the look he gave me wasn’t what I expected. It was stern … detached even. “Elio?” my voice was hoarse as I swallowed, feeling a burn. Oh god, how long did my heat last?“How are you feeling?” his voice was icy as I frowned, wondering what he could be unhappy about now. I was the one with the insides melting, turning to fire unless he touched me. Even when he did, there was the pain of having him inside for so long, but it was nothing compared to the pain of trying to move away from him. My bo
