BlessingLeanderHycinth held perfectly still in my arms as Mimi and Gemma rinsed our bodies of the residual oil. I wasn't sure how to interpret her silence. What did she think about seeing my complete extended family? My mother?It was hard as fuck to see my mother. I hadn't expected it and I never dreamed I would see my extended family of wolves. Why hadn't my father told me about that part of the ceremony? Had he experienced it as well or was this the first time it had ever happened? When these three days were over, he and I would sit down and talk. I suspected he would handle my mother's presence and message the same way I did grief beyond comprehension, but a gift of unmeasurable worth, an incredible blessing, and certainly not a moment I expected to have while I still breathed.It was closure for me. I was finally able to say the words my mother needed to hear -how fucking sorry I was for that day. I knew she wouldn't blame me. But I needed to say them.And to see our mother Wol
Mimi and Gemma simultaneously got started. Gemma dotted my cock with powder and targeted the underside of my penis, applying hot wax to a small section. Since they used wax that hardened completely, no fabric strips were required. When the wax cooled against my skin, Gemma used a leather-clad fingertip to roll back the edge, then grasped it firmly and pulled against the grain.I bit back a curse, grunting loudly at the sharp pain.Hyacinth wasn't quite so quiet. She didn't bother containing her shriek, "Son of a bitch!""Shh...it will be okay," Gwen assured her softly.A rumbling growl came from Hycinth's throat."Easy...that's it...just relax your leg again," Willow cooed. I couldn't concentrate on what was happening with Hycinth because Gemma continued to place wax, let it dry and jerk it away from my body."Fuck!" I growled.Aiden held down my thigh while Ryan gripped my other leg to keep them open. Gemma continued relentlessly, seemingly to rip the top layer of skin off my balls.
Gwen giggled.After a few more strips, Mimi finally said, "That's it. All done. You can turn back over.""You as well," Gemma said to me."I want to see it," Hycinth demanded."That's fine," Mimi replied. "Gwen, help her sit up."There was some more shuffling and then Hycinth gasped. There was a tremor in her voice, shock and dismay evident. "Ohhh...that is...not pretty...I look like a Red Delicious apple in a barren orchard!"There were grunts and coughing from the group, several people trying to hold back and conceal their laughter."That's perfectly normal, child. The redness will go away very soon," Mimi reassured her.There was a moment of silence. I could only imagine Hycinth's narrowed eyes and expression of disbelief. And then she sighed heavily and whimpered, "Could I at least have some ice for my Apple pie?"I chuckled. What the hell?"Of course. I'll have someone bring some from the kitchen," Mimi said."Don't think I didn't hear that," Hycinth scowled at me."I promise, sw
Pain & PleasureHycinthStanding side-by-side, I clutched the beautiful blanket draped over our shoulders, my eyes drifting over the interior of the quaint cottage bathed in the moon's glow, taking in the details.Several dozen candles, grouped together in clusters, provided the only light. Their flames flickered and pirouetted, undulating in a sensual dance with the shadows. My sensitive Wolf nose twitched. The heavenly aroma of fresh cut hardwood, earthy and sweet, filled the air, but I noticed the glowing firelights lacked scent.My attention flickered to the wall of curtains, the breathtaking view of the lake now hidden by the closed gauzy fabrics, light and airy, gently swaying with the wind. I was thankful for the northeastern breeze, ricocheting off the water to help cool my overheated skin.The sheer barrier provided minimal visual privacy, but what it didn't conceal was sound.But I expected that already.A strange dichotomy whispered to my senses -absolute stillness, not a b
No matter, I didn't care what his reasoning was, I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. He wanted to play games, so be it. My chin went up.Leander understood my body language perfectly...and then one of his big hands palmed the considerable bulge challenging the leather of his trousers. He stroked himself through the fabric.Waves of heat danced along my skin. Captivated by his movement, I couldn't take my eyes away from his hand as it rubbed slowly up and down his length. His raucous display was nothing less than an invitation...Breath turning shallow, the inspirations of my chest quickened. My hands twitched. Absentmindedly, I pulled at the restriction of my clothing just to give my hands something to do other than reaching for him. It was too hot in this damn room.Leander wasn't done with his wordless enticement...Keeping one hand on the bulge pressed against the leather, he trailed the fingers of his other hand over his stomach.Of course, the bastard knew I wouldn't be
Goosebumps ran across my skin at the feral noise of him. Before today, I'd wondered if I would feel hesitant, that maybe Leander would have to convince me into intimacy. I realized now both were so far from true, it was ridiculous. Leander had what I needed. The little beads of liquid rolling down my thighs were proof. He belonged to me......and I was going to take what was mine.Three more steps forward, I stood directly in front of him. Pleasure and approval at my submission radiated from his dark liquid eyes.Abruptly, one big paw wrapped around my back and jerked me flush against his chest. His free hand wound through my hair and gripped the nape of my neck. Keeping my head where he wanted it, his lips crashed down on mine, fierce and aggressive.My blood ignited with lust, set ablaze by his talented tongue and the feeling of his arousal and pressed against my belly. I met him back ferociously, biting and nipping at his lips, taking what I wanted, not caring when the scent of blo
Five SensesLeanderI was right where I wanted to be...buried deep between Hycinth's spread thighs. Her back bowed in supplication, sweet cunt clenched around me, pulsing a rhythm all her own, demanding to be filled. It was the natural order of things. Regardless of circumstances, destiny always chose this moment to conceive our own pup, and Hycinth's body reacted accordingly, pulling me in, gripping my cock tight. It was so very right......but, it was also so very wrong.Everything inside of me wanted to give Hycinth what she was unconsciously asking for. But I couldn't. I wouldn't take her choice away. We'd agreed, and I wouldn't go back on my word, as much as it killed me. With a grunt, I pulled out, letting my release splash in lines over her belly and breasts. There was even a trail across her left cheek into her hair.Iridescent, not white, more the color of deep water reflecting the moon's glow. My father told me our release would be different. He hadn't indulged in many speci
Standing on the large deck facing the lake, the silhouettes of several wolves were visible through the sheer curtains. The three tallest wolves stood ramrod straight, gazes trained intently on us. From their broad chests and increased heights, they had to be males. They watched intently with only an occasional slight twitch of their big heads. Three smaller wolves padded silently around them, aggressively rubbing the length of their fur against their mates, sniffing and nipping for attention.Hycinth stared at them without speaking. I couldn't interpret her expression. She didn't look upset. If anything, she seemed curious, studying them as inquisitively as they watched her. Either way, I had no intention of letting her lose focus on the task at hand. Without warning, I spanked her pussy, the distinct thwack of my hand against her wet flesh echoing loudly in the air."Oh!" Hycinth yelped, her attention instantly locking back on me, lake blue's wide, breath coming in stuttered puffs."
"Welcome home." Leander announced while stepping inside with me. He seemed a lot more happier than the last time I had seen him. Was it me? Was this what he wanted?"This is not my home." I cleared my throat without looking anywhere. It was all too much to take in."It is your home, Hycinth." He took a few steps toward me while I stood stiff on the main hall. "This is where you're going to live. It's yours." He continued, his smile only growing wider."This will never be mine, do you recall the one you destroyed when I was still young?."His lips lined straight, "I just saved you, be thankful." He taunted, reminding me of the hero he had become.I rolled my eyes at him and groaned, "I didn't want to be saved. You know why you came there, don't act as if everything you did was for me." I spat out before talking the three little steps down into the stairs. I headed toward the fireplace, giving myself some warmth while Leander continued to hover around me.He was confused with what I had
"It's called infatuation-" | swallowed hard and forbade myself from flinching as his finger reached underneath, into my throbbing opening. My senses reeled, driving me away from all of the reality. I was entirely in a different world. My body grew warm and my mind blurred at his single touch.One touch.Only one and I was gone."Meh. I think you're still fucking craving me or your pussy wouldn't have been gushing with the conversation we had." He strained my head back, forbidding me not to move an inch while his large, experienced fingers played with me. "Does it make you horny when I get possessive about you? Is that what this all was about?"As much as I tried to control myself, I couldn't. I was a mess-a dripping mess. "No." I choked out before slamming my lips shut and forcing any sounds of pleasure back down my throat.I couldn't let this happen, I couldn't let Leander feel that I still wanted him. Neither of us were ever going to move on."I'm just wet with thinking about the ot
"It's been over an year. You should've moved on by now rather than waiting for something that's not meant to happen, to happen." I said, mocking him while my voice was full of taunt. I wasn't holding, I didn't intend onto.Not after he had forced me on the jet.My teeth grazed against each other and I took a quick, deep inhale while turning my face away from Leander who was unbothered with any of my comments.His eyes were glued on the phone, his thumb running across the screen while he tried to kill time.It was going to be hours before we would land.I wasn't here alone. There were a couple of cabin attendant's and the pilot's sitting up at front while the cabin I remained in was locked from the inside, it's keycard hanging inside Leander's pants.I couldn't run.Not at all."I still have no idea what you're talking about." Leander murmured, his eyes never leaving the screen of his phone. It was intended, he didn't want to face me but at the same time, he didn't want to drive me cra
We walked back from the forest to the warehouse where I was being kept. Cade's body was discarded in the side, near a hundred-year-old tree where he could be found by his men. It would be chaotic for the pack to deal with their Alpha's death but something good would come out from it all."So," I stopped Leander just near his jet that was going to take him back to his town. The silent ten-minute walk allowed me to think about what I wanted. "I don't want to go back. I'm doing fine here and with Cade dead, I don't see any problem anymore with staying here. This is now my chance to fully look for Sydney." I began, breaking my silence and speaking with Leander.We stood in front of each other, our eyes levelled. "Are you fucking kidding me?" He snapped as soon as I finished talking.My mouth dropped in surprise. "What?""You're going to get inside and you're coming with me, regardless of everything. You can get all confident and courageous once we land but if you don't get on the plane, I
Rage flashed in his eyes before he began unbuttoning the buttons of his shirt one by one. I stood near to him, startled. What was he doing? Why was he removing his clothes? Once the shirt came off, I turned my eyes to the corner, fixating them over a tree and hoped for the rushing feelings collecting my stomach to disappear. It couldn't happen now. My wolf was jumping in joy within me, preparing herself for a midnight sex while my mind was jumbled up.Leander's hand reached lower to his pants where he unzipped them and removed it. He left nothing on his body, not even his underwear. I swallowed the lump in my throat while continuing to keep my eyes up and away from his naked, bare body standing in front of me."Wh-what are you doing?" I asked, confused.The shadows of the night danced over his bare flesh, uncovering, and flaunting all the muscles he had built up over the years.He picked up the clothes from the ground, folded them and stretched his arm toward me. I hesitated for a sec
Leander didn't probably hear me when I spoke that I wanted to finish Cade because he went on with walking while speaking on his phone. I did walk with him too but I couldn't tear my thoughts away from Cade and his words from earlier where he had wished to assault me if Leander wasn't my mate. I felt disgusted to my core. He was with Dagger but Leander let him free and didn't kill him. He survived that time but now I had my eyes on him.The moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting its light all over the city. Utter, complete silence surrounded us. There was no one around us, not any cars passing by or strangers. The warehouse was miles away from the main city which I supposed would be the reason to why Cade had bought me here.So, I couldn't scream or run..."What did you tell me earlier?", As soon as he stopped speaking on his phone, he turned to me.I stared at him for some good time with out replying.I wanted to tell him again about finishing Cade. I wanted to tell him what my int
HYCINTH’S "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was doing perfectly fine until Cade set his eyes on me. I'm really sorry for the trouble." I said, walking alongside with Leander and taking steps farther away from the warehouse. My wrists continued to ache along with the rest of my body. There was a stiffness that I needed to get rid of."It's completely fine." Leander replied. The silence and the quietness gloomed in his voice. We barely uttered any words to each other ever since he untied me from the warehouse.I glanced over at him once more, remembering the face before my eyes diverted back to the ground.I didn't know what to feel. I was certainly shocked and consumed by the idea of Leander, my mate, being present beside me after a long year of nothing. We made no contact, not a single word or a call to one and other.When I stepped out of the warehouse, I quickly recognized the location-the outskirts of the city where no one ever came. There was a dock nearby. The smell of ship
HYCINTH'S MEMORIES"Oh!" I sucked in a startled breath as I found myself straddling his lap on the wide seat, my hands pressed flat against his bare chest for support.Skin against skin.Tingles ran from my fingertips straight to my core, making me squirm.He groaned in appreciation and tightened his hold, one large hand gripping my hip, the other wrapped around the nape of my neck. Swirling violet and cerulean orbs stared up at me. Deep. Darkening.Under his intense stare and scrutiny, I felt incredibly alive.I was entranced, caught in the raw intensity of his gaze. The invisible force that drew us together tugged at my defenses, threatening to break down my walls and demolish my resistance. It was kinetic. Glorious and warm. It flexed, pulling us closer, refusing to be denied. A pulse of truth rippled through our connection -this beautiful male belonged to me. He was mine.For this moment, I was okay with that. I welcomed it. I embraced it. I didn't want to think about tomorrow-whe
HYCINTH’S POV Leander My mate.It wasn't hard to forget your mate, especially when there were cruel memories attached with them. I had seen it all with him, the good times, and the terrible times. There was nothing else I needed to see.He was a man, of my past.I let my head fall back on the ground as the men began leaving the shady warehouse. Cade simply grinned at me before departing. My pleads became useless, inaudible as soon as he recalled that he can't kill me because Leander will come for him.Shuffling with the restraints, I groaned and kicked my feet out of frustration. I still had enough time to run away before anyone could get here and find me but the only problem I had was setting myself free.Memories of Leander snapped into me like a whip, forcing me to face my past once more and open my eyes wide to see the reality. His face flashed through my head, I closed my eyes and breathed. It had been a long time since I had seen him, since I had spoken to him and since I had
