Carol’s POVA low growl escaped from Oliver’s throat, and I gasped in shock. I covered my mouth with my hands and narrowed my eyes at him.“Oliver!” I all but shouted, in horror at what was happening. The look on Fiona’s face was as if she had just seen a ghost. I looked at Aiden who was staring at
Her eyes widened at that thought.“Or you can sit next to me and avoid him until you are ready,” I said, shrugging. “It’s up to you but let’s make you look hot.”She grinned and then nodded.“That’s sounds great,” she finally relented.….Aiden’s POV“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I asked as I p
Carol’s POVThe restaurant was right in the heart of the city. Most of this section of the city was occupied by wolves because it was technically wolf territory. So, having humans around was a bit strange, but not entirely rare. The driver stopped in front of the gorgeous and rustic-looking building
I looked up to see a pretty blonde with long straight hair tied back in a low ponytail. She wore a gorgeous back-dress and a ton of jewelry.“It’s no problem Margerie,” he said, nodding at her. “Can you grab us a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, Stellenbosch?”“Of course,” she said. “Did you want to pu
Aiden’s POVI was hard as a fucking rock. I knew the second I stood up that my arousal would be obvious to everybody at this table. I could smell Carol’s arousal before she left, and I knew the other wolves in this place would smell it too. I wanted to take care of my mate and make her feel better.
She was soft, wet, and perfect.“God, you feel so good,” I whispered as I continued to pump my finger in and out of her while teasing her clit with my thumb. I stuck another finger into her, making her whimper with desire.“Aiden…” she gasped between my lips. “I… I… need you…”“I know exactly what y
Caro’s POVThe color drained from my face when I heard the knocking on the bathroom door.“I need to clean up,” I said in a hushed whisper as I tried to get off the counter. Aiden held me in place, his eyes still dark with desires and I knew he was fighting to keep himself under control.“I want my
“You’re right. Maybe I’m just overthinking,” she relented.“Give it a shot and if it’s something you don’t want, then we will figure it out once we get to that bridge. But I can tell that Oliver already likes you and it’s not easy for him just like it’s not easy for you. So, maybe don’t make it hard
I chuckled as I held back tears.“Sorry,” I murmured, trying to pull back, but she held me tighter.“I’ve missed you like crazy,” she breathed. “How’s life in the empire? I’ve been keeping tabs on you in the media. Seems you are kicking ass as the queen.”Since the inauguration ceremony last year, I
She flinched away for a moment, afraid that the darkness might hurt him, but I had faith that it wouldn’t because it was under her control now and the light in her wouldn’t be dim for the darkness.“It’s okay,” I assured her, bringing Caleb even closer into her view. She stared at him with admiratio
EpilogueAiden’s POV“She still won’t come out of her room?” Fiona asked, staring at the closed suite door with a frown. “It’s been a week since she killed her sister…”“She’s scared,” I told her, cradling Caleb in my arms. “Raelyn’s darkness is inside of her and she’s worried that she’s going to do
She was quiet for a moment while the Queen continued to bark orders in the background. The dark tendrils only seemed to grow more agitated with each passing moment.“Please, call the tendrils off and—”“I can’t,” she said quickly. “They don’t listen to me anymore… they listen to her more than they l
I wanted to believe that there was still good in Raelyn. That the darkness hadn’t taken over completely. I grabbed her arm, and I brought my gaze to meet hers; I wasn’t sure if my powers would work on her, but I had to try. I channeled her mind and when I found a connection, I realized it was weak,
Carol’s POVI used my powers to fight off the guards, using my mind manipulation to make them fight one another and using some of the spells I was taught to ward them off. I’ve practiced with mind manipulation a lot so I was able to do it quickly. I soon had some of them at least turning against the
“It’s not personal darling,” she said, waving off his concern. “It’s strictly business.”“Was any of it real?” He asked, shaking his head with disgust written all over his face. “Did you ever love me?”She let out a bitter laugh.“Love?” She scoffed. “Please… There’s no room for love when I have a n
My entire body went cold when I saw what they were running from. Clouds of darkness snaked through the ground, slithering like snakes. I could feel the cold darkness and the chilling aura that penetrated it.In the distance, I squinted at the figures standing in the center of the town.The Queen.St
Carol’s POV“You promised you’d help me buy a ring for Fiona,” Oliver said as he leaned against the doorframe of my suite. I had just finished changing Caleb’s dirty typer for the 5(th) time this hour when Oliver decided to bless me with his visit.Collectively, we’ve been in the Empire for 2 months
