God, why did it have to reach a point such as this?!“Bring me to that place,” I whispered and looked at Zarion. “Please.” My head is still spinning thanks to that dangerously erotic dream. My palm yearned for Zarion’s touch, eventually wrapping it around his. I squeezed his hand, and somehow, that made me exhale for a moment. Yet his face remained aggressive and agitated towards Elliot. I know Zarion couldn’t control his anger due to some reason. Emotions are his demons, the healer once said. But he’s been trying to take control of it. When he saw me, his Adam's apple protruded and gently brushed my hand against the tips of his fingers. “Please, Zarion…” I finally unravelled that exasperated look. “I want to go there. I want to see it myself.” He nodded and kissed my forehead, his arms wrapped around my shoulder while glaring at Elliot. Poor, poor Elliot. I shot Elliot an apologetic smile. He returned my courtesy. He’s been patient with us lately, and words can’t describe how
My mouth fell open. Is that…what the hell did I smell delicious earlier?! Was that… No. No, no, no. It can’t be Alpha Brandon, is it? If he is, then that means—I glanced at Zarion who was leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen. He was intently looking at me, eyeing my every move like a hawk. Even at this state, I could still describe how hot he is. “Yes, we spotted Brandon earlier when we were hunting,” Elliot muttered before sipping from his cup of aromatic coffee. “I don’t know werewolves drink coffee, Elliot.” The healer chuckled with me, and he could really pass as my naughty little brother. Zarion never took his eyes off at me. I wanted to apologize to Zarion, but he already told me not to keep saying sorry.Sighing, I told them I’m going to sleep. Elliot has been busier finding ways to make the rejection faster—or another way to turn me into a werewolf safely. While Elliot has been busy with his own endeavor, Zarion got me a herbal plant. Jasmine, I presumed. He pus
“No, we can’t do this.” His sigh was heavy, just like the emotions dragging him into that dark pit. I look at him with utter need and hunger. There was a storm swirling in those beautiful eyes. Eyes that I could stare for eternity. Eyes that…I wished would only look at me forever.The moment he said those words, I was desperate to do everything just so he would touch me. I knew that he wanted to do it with me, so what’s stopping him? My pride got slashed because he’s always been like this. He always rejects me. He always stops himself when it comes to me wanting him.“I’m sorry, but we can’t really do this, Cass…” he whispered in a controlled voice. I bark a sarcastic laughter. “Oh, really? I’ll go to your step-brother then and ask him to make love with me because you can’t!” My rage filled the air, and I ended up saying those nasty words even though I didn’t mean to. I hurled myself away from the bed, my head still dizzy of the effect he had on me as I walked towards the door.
I caught him glancing at my chest, mouth open and gaze thick with hunger like he wanted what was in his hand to be in his mouth instead.Licking my lower lip, I felt him move to my other breast, fondling the nipple until that one, too, had tightened into a pebble. Butterflies swarmed in my belly and I started to feel the pulse in my clit throb, wanting his hand back there now.I want you, Zarion…I really do.His fingers dug lightly into my skin, running back down my torso and stomach. Shocks spread through out of every pore on my body as he grabbed me a little harder between the thighs. This time, I didn’t whimper. Instead I closed my eyes and arched my back, feeling his erection pulse under me. I kissed him once on the lips.Zarion seized the back of my head and his mouth descended into mine. Every touch, every breath heightened the weightlessness taking over my body. I was floating, the room was spinning, and I didn’t want to get off the ride.Turning my head, I parted my lips, sear
“It’s not inside yet?”“Not all the way.” He shook his head and a cackle followed a heartbeat later. “I’m still halfway there. Does it still hurt?”I was about to say yes. It was definitely uncomfortable, but I guess it didn’t really hurt that much.I shook my head. Looking into my eyes, he slowly sank deeper. I started to feel stretched and full and kind of stranger than before.“How about now?”“I… I don’t… “ I stammered, adjusting to him. “I don’t know.”He thrust all the way in, bottoming out. Hitting me so deep and in that very spot, my eyes rolled at the back of my head.Oh, shit.“Cassidy, Jesus Christ!” He kissed me. “I love the way you feel.”“You mean you love the way you feel inside me?” I gave him a teasing, knowing smile.I gripped his hips as he nibbled my mouth and neck and ear, and before I knew it, nothing was uncomfortable anymore.“Put one hand on my shoulder,” he breathed, leaning back up to look down at me. “I want you to feel me move.”I did as he told me, and sl
There was a heated tension between us. Hestia and I are officially at war now. I could no longer feel dominated by her. After all, I have my own privilege and advantage. When I first met her, she made my knees wobble, my breathing hitched. When her gaze met mine, I was always the first one to break eye contact.But not this time. Not for long—not when I goddamn wanted to kill her and my mate, Alpha Brandon. They are the reason why I’m on the brink of death every shitful hell of a night.I wanted to choke her until she could no longer feel the need to breathe. As soon as I held her gaze like a hawk to a snake, his eyes held a glimmer of knowledge. A secret she was eager to share.Hestia pushed away my hand that held her and stared at me lowly. “I’m not here to lecture about being a slut.”“You don’t need lessons anyway.” I tilted my head in mockery. “Anyway, what the hell are you doing here, then?” I asked, my arms folded in my chest. Zarion went behind me and rested his hand on my w
Zarion didn’t say anything. Like me, he was observing the forest too. Alpha Brandon and Hestia are no longer seen in this sun-forsaken place.Unbeknownst of what might happen, this unexpected visit was not driven by goodwill. It was a twisted web, spun with deceit and malice. I could feel Alpha Brandon’s presence and scent. I knew that it’s possible that they orchestrated a trap, a wicked scheme veiled beneath a thin veneer of familial ties.Calm down, Cassidy. Calm down.“Don’t worry, baby. You have me. Zarion’s whisper was enough to let me release the breath I didn’t know I was holding. He’s very protective of me—as if I was his mate.No. If I was really his mate, I could have died already. He could have killed me without a splinter of hesitation. That’s how Zarion disdained the thought of mating bond.“Brandon! Hestia! Get the fuck out of there and confront us!” His voice echoed among the green trees. Dark and dangerous, ready to kill anyone that’s going to intervene or invade our
“Fuck, they did something on him! He was turned into a statue, Elliot! Oh my Gosh, please… please, let’s go back and save Zarion!” I kept on screaming at the top of my lungs despite the cold and all the shenanigans I have just experienced.But Elliot wasn’t listening to me. No, he will not listen to me.“Elliot! Are you listening to me? We have to go back! We have to get back to Zarion!” I tightened my grip at Elliot, but he just shook his head. “Zarion can save himself. It was you who couldn’t so I have to get you out there.”“What?!” I hissed. “No! I don’t care about me. I—”“But Zarion does,” Elliot’s voice was genuine. “So please, Cassidy, just listen to me, alright? Zarion can take care of himself!”“Are you fucking kidding me, Osborne?” my voice filled with anger as I addressed him by his last name. I want him to know that I am serious now. And fucking enraged. But Elliot doesn’t seem to care an inch of it.“You’re hurt. Zarion wouldn’t like that.” He stroked my hair with plato
