Rhea’s POVI sigh contentedly as my eyes sweep over the vast bathroom.It was way more white and clean than anything I’ve ever laid eyes on before and I found that very comforting to me. White floor, white walls, white sink, white tub, and white actual toilet; which was like a grand prize for me. I was so over that dirty disgusting way of living that I had before. Where I had to pee in some ditch, barely clean myself once a week in a shallow river if we even found one in the depth of the different forests we stayed in, sleep on the same thin rug which does nothing to ease the hardness of the forest ground underneath it, wear ratty, old, smelly clothes until they couldn’t be worn anymore or wear a shoes that hurts my feet almost all the time because it was already worn out too much, only get to eat raw meat from the animals my wolf could hunt or chew on the green stuff I find around the forest when I get too nauseous from getting my source of food directly through my wolf. I’m so done
Rhea’s POVA knock on the door breaks my content bubble and my wolf perks up inside me for the first time since I woke up, sensing the mate and yearning for a whiff. All those heavenly things I was experiencing were too human for her to appreciate and feel the same feelings that I was going through.I head for the door and open it.My eyes collide with his and his scent hits me like an electric shock. Waking every cell in my body.My wolf pants inside my head, urging me to take more of it in because she missed it since he left early this morning, but I didn’t indulge her because I was fighting it. No point in getting addicted to his smell when I was leaving soon anyway.He on the other hand, looked….kind of… intoxicated and overcome with something? I wasn’t sure exactly. No one ever looked at me that way and I’ve never seen anyone look at someone in that way before within my pack. It wasn’t lust exactly, it felt more…. Pure or innocent. He was hyperventilating as his chest rose up and
Rhea’s POVI walk next to him through the long hallway silently.The hallway ends with a glamorous living room full of comfortable-looking, huge, dark brown couches, a very big TV hanging from the wall, and beautiful, elegant chandeliers. It also had a whole wall-size view of the territory on one side.There were two doors in this room besides the hallway we just came from.He heads into one of them and opens the door, walking inside while I follow behind him.It was the dining room. Of course it was just as elegant looking as the rest of this place.A long table filled with so much food, my mouth automatically started watering on its own, and the smell! Goddess, the smell almost brought a moan I barely contained from escaping.I forced my eyes to focus on the people that were already sitting around the table.Alec smiled at me warmly when our eyes met. He looked so much better than the last time I saw him. I smiled back but refrained from saying anything because he wasn’t the only on
Adrian’s POVI was holding my hand out for her, waiting patiently.She was afraid of me.It was clear as day in her eyes and in her little flinch earlier. She was trying her best to hide it, to act brave, but her body doesn’t know how to lie as well as her words do.I could see her struggle to decide whether to trust me not to hurt her or not.Slowly, her hand reached for mine. I could almost see her changing her mind at the last second before our skin touched and pulling her hand back just an inch before she pushed herself and placed her palm in mine.Tingles spread out through my whole body instantly. Good kind of tingles. Her skin was soft, delicate in mine. Lennox was ecstatic at the physical contact.I tugged her forward abruptly and turned her around. She fell straight into my lap with a loud, scared gasp from her mouth. Her body tensed up and her eyes went wide as she looked at me in surprise. Our faces were so close to each other. If I move just an inch, our lips could be touc
Rhea’s POVGoddess, why does it feel so good to sit in his lap? To be surrounded by his arms? Why does it give me so much warmth and safety? I don’t even know anything about this man except how much he hates that I turned out to be his mate. He hated me at first sight, yet, he didn’t let me leave the dining room hungry and starving. He didn’t embarrass me in front of the others by pointing out the obvious. He fed me himself. He took care of me without judging me. He even seemed to like my presence in his arms almost as much as I did.He was confusing me a lot. Can that much hatred and disgust change in an instant?Was he hiding them in front of me to honor our deal and the chance we decided to give each other, or were they really gone?The food was mind blowing. I loved every single thing he put in my mouth. I had to resist my moans so hard every time I tasted something new and every new food that turned out to be tastier than the one before it.No one at the table spoke or said anyth
Rhea’s POVThe tension coming off Adrian was scary. One second he’s sweet and gentle, and the next he has a glare that could drop someone dead. And it was directed at his brother of all people.I felt bad and responsible for that reaction. Even though I didn’t do anything, but I still felt that way because I was the reason.Alec maintained his relaxed posture, not the least bit affected by the scary aura coming off Adrian or the dark glare in his eyes.He raised his hands and said sarcastically “Fine, buzz killer. We’ll stay inside till you get back”He doesn’t want me to see the territory with his brother.Was it because he still thinks I’m too dangerous around his pack? Especially when he’s not around? Or was there another reason he didn’t want Alec to show me around?Adrian turns to me and I stiffen because he still had that scary look in his eyes. When he noticed my slight reaction, his face relaxed completely and he took a few, slow steps in my direction.“It’s still too early fo
Rhea’s POVHe knew I was trying to change the subject and he humored me instead of pressing more on the matter.“I was thinking we could watch a move or a tv series. Or I could teach you a game of cards” he said thoughtfully.Both of those things sound interesting, so I shrug and leave it up to him.“You pick whatever you feel like. Both of those are totally new to me” I said shyly.Admitting how much I lack in knowing many simple things is a little embarrassing, but with Alec I don’t find it so hard to admit out loud.He doesn’t give me pity eyes but he does look at me with little empathy and warmth before he says excitedly “Well, what I wouldn’t give to see my favorite movies as if I’m watching them for the first time. Trust me, it feels amazing and the awe that fills you when you enjoy watching something so much for the first time is indescribable. I can’t wait to have you experience that great feeling. Come with me”He made it sound so awesome, I found myself getting excited for t
Adrian’s POVI sighed in relief as we stepped out of the coffee shop where we were meeting with possible investors for a new project. We’ve been in there for four hours and it was taking everything in me not to cut it short and get back to the pack house.We were still fresh out of war, alpha Victor might have already met with other rogue packs trying to gain back his strength and could be plotting his way to take us out. I didn’t want to be away from the pack for that long in case something happens.“Away from the pack or away from our mate?” mused Lennox in my head.I groaned internally. To say Rhea didn’t cross my mind more than once during this time would be a total lie. She crossed it many, many times in the span of four hours. Too many. I found myself spacing out in the middle of our boring business conversation and going back to when she sat in my lap trustfully and allowed me to feed her myself. The way her face glowed when she tasted food or her eyes glistened when she gazed
First thank you and first acknowledgement always goes to you readers. Another book comes to an end and you are the sole reason that keeps me writing more. Your encouragement is my fuel to keep coming up with new stories to tell and write about. I hope this one won a favorite place in your hearts like the other ones. I always write with my whole being and put myself in the characters’ heads, feeling all their feelings and experiencing everything with them. I hope you were able to relate to both of them throughout the story. Please keep giving me your thoughts and comments because other than writing books, reading how you think about them is the next best thing in my daily life. Alec will get his own book and his own POV, but his story will have to wait until I am fully done developing it in my head. My next book is going to be a CEO genre, if I can get it approved by my editor. If you read my other book ‘On The Border’, then you have a slight idea about my male lead; Jacob Snow,
The Moon Goddess’s POVI smile to myself in tenderness as I stare at my two beautiful children sharing such a romantic and heart melting moment together.Rhea was sitting in Adrian’s lap; both of them preferred this seating arrangement a lot more than the normal one where she sits on his right hand, she was enjoying having dinner from her mate’s hand.They were having their own private celebratory dinner after they won the battle a few hours ago. A victory I’m most definitely proud having witnessed it.I don’t usually watch every single battle my children go through, but this was a very important battle that I needed to see with my own eyes. It was important for more than one reason.First, I wanted to witness Victor’s death with satisfaction. He more than deserved to die and it was way past his due time.The things he’s made my delicate little girl go through made even me sick with revulsion.My poor child truly shook my heart with the way she suffered at his and his pack’s hands al
Adrian’s POVI took off after her, not planning on letting her get away from me. Even if I’m not allowed to kill her, I won’t let her escape for whatever reason my brother wanted her to keep breathing. Maybe he was just as curious as I was to know what the hell happened back there. Or maybe he wanted to kill her himself.At the edge of the territory, she had her supernatural powers back of course and she took advantage of that as she pushed herself harder to run away, knowing I was in hot pursuit behind her.The portal appeared in front of me as she was running towards it, I pushed myself to sprint faster and catch up with her.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw other rogues go through the portal, running away from the losing battle and saving their skins before they meet their downfalls too.I was this close to catching her, I extended my arm, trying to catch her long, straight, light brown hair which was blowing behind her.She gained more speed at the last second and I missed her b
Adrian’s POVAlec’s scream of agony got embedded into my soul.It took us five seconds to snap out of our paralyzing terror, both Lennox and I. Five seconds where dread was coursing through me at the thought of losing my brother forever. I could never recover if that happened. Alec was more than a brother, he was like my other half. He was the only family I had left, the closest one.I shifted my eyes on the girl that made my heart hurt with so much agony. She couldn’t be more than eighteen, maybe even younger. But the look on her face is what baffled me the most. It was filled with venom and direct hate towards Alec. As if this wasn’t about winning a battle on behalf of her rogue alpha, this was personal. She was targeting him specifically. Like she knew exactly who he was even though Alec never spoke before the battle began.When one of the two men surrounding him moved to kick Alec in the face making him drop on his back; making sure the stick that was halfway embedded through his
Adrian’s POVA very menacing growl escaped past alpha Victor’s lips as he bared his teeth at us with so much anger in his eyes, it could light the whole town on fire if it could.I enjoyed the hell out of his reaction and went in to add insult to injury as I spoke harshly “I also know exactly why you took her in when she was just a baby. You wanted her skill. But now, you can’t have it because it got passed on to me and my pack. Rhea gave it to us openly and generously, because despite the cruelty she faced in your pack her entire life, she still has a heart of gold and a pure soul still capable of love. That’s something you can never begin to understand. So I will talk to you in the only language you do understand. I am going to make you pay for every second of pain you made my mate go through, alpha Victor, I will make you experience every bit of it before I rip you to shreds for hurting her in the past fourteen years”He just gave me a cold, evil smile as he said in a condescending
Adrian’s POVEverything was ready.This is going to be the night we rid the world of the most evil rogue alpha in the region along with many of his evil, vile followers.It was such an impactful moment in our pack history that will set the pace for the next generation to come after us.All of my fighters plus Alec’s were standing behind me and Rhea, prepared for the moment the rogues will portal through to end this darkness once and for all.Our training was over, this was the real deal now. This was the real and most important fight we will ever go through and every single person was prepared and ready for it. They were prepared to fight with honor, they were ready to kill and not be killed.We were standing at the edge of my territory, silent and waiting.Rhea held my hand and squeezed it tightly, causing me to look over at her.She was gazing at me with a mixture of nervousness and determination.I squeezed her hand back and told her firmly “We will win”She nodded her head once ti
Rhea’s POV“Yes” my answer was instant, confident, and I gave him more proof by opening my legs to him, giving him direct access to do it.“Nah, I don’t think you are yet. I think we need to bring back some of that moaning and begging that will have you leaking out so hard, that way I can get inside a lot easier and less painfully” he said tauntingly.I groaned in a soft voice. I both loved and hated it when he played with me to intensify my releases, I mean I like the end result but I hate the process because it’s always overwhelming and sweetly torturous to endure.He kissed my lips passionately, making me lean into him to deepen the kiss more. Our tongues fought for access until they were satisfied before he moved down to my mark, licking and sucking it fervently making me writhe under him with renewed pleasure.My nipples came next and when he was done with them, I was left a heaping mess of arousal and desire.Just when I thought he was done, his mouth claimed back my left nipple
Rhea’s POVHe smiled at me warmly but asked carefully “I know you loved it. That’s the only reason I kept going. But despite that, I still want to make sure of something. Did I hurt you in a way that made you remember what happened to you in the past? Please be honest with me”“Not for a single moment, Adrian. Never. I truly loved the power you exerted on me, it turned me on very much, and I’m pretty sure you saw the evidence of that” I said a little shyly.“So you’re saying we can do this every now and then?” he asked curiously with a hint of desire shining in his eyes.I could see how much he really enjoyed that experience with me, how much he loved me submitting myself fully to him, and how much he enjoyed making me come on his own terms.But I could also tell he would never do something I’m not comfortable with even if he himself liked it, and for that, My love for him surged inside me harder at that moment.“Oh yeah, I think even your pain is addicting to me, alpha” I said playfu
Rhea’s POV“No what? You seem to forget my rules very easily, Rhea” he said slowly as his hand rubbed gently on the spot he just hit harshly, slowly easing my pain away with his soft touch.While the blow to my ass cheek made me feel pain, I couldn’t deny that it also gave me pleasure in a weird, complicated sort of way.“I’m sorry alpha, I will not forget them again” I said in a small voice, trying to regulate my suddenly rapid breathing, and sort out through my confusing emotions.“That’s exactly what I want you to think about while I help you learn your lesson through this punishment. Now, I want you to count out loud every time I spank you, and I don’t want you to slip up and miss a certain number or I will have to start all over again from the beginning. Can you do that?” he said firmly while he continued to seductively run his hands over my ass, making my core tighten and tingle in response to his erotic touches.“Yes, alpha”I screamed out again when he unexpectedly hit me on m
