She sighs, rolls her eyes, and says, “Fine.” She walks over to the coffee table and picks up the bottle of wine, which is mostly full but not completely. She pours two glasses and hands me one. I sit down on the couch. I want to stay as far away from the bed as possible. She sits next to me, curlin
*Emily*I’ve finally got one of the Alphas in my bedroom!Now is my chance to get him to impregnate me so that I can get rid of that stupid Breeder and her four babies once and for all.“Let me strap you down and ride you,” I say to Alpha Mark as he carries me to the bed.“No, I don’t think so,” he
*Tristan* Mark has never been one to have a poker face, and right now it’s obvious he is hiding something. Eli looks like he has just seen a cat bark. I look at both men and wonder what is going on. “Why are the two of you chasing each other in the hallway?” Reece asks, flying through the door. “
“Why were they screaming? Oh, my. Mark, don’t tell me you beat up Emily. I know what she did was inhumane, but I thought we would let the king decide on her punishment. You didn’t have to take matters into your own hands,” Rose says as she walks over to where I am still standing in front of Mark, tr
*Tristan* “What? Why?” I ask. I had known that he was sadistic, but I don’t think I was prepared for just how far the royal ass was willing to go. “Maybe Emily was just voicing her own desires,” Reece suggests, obviously also not wanting to believe that the king could be so evil. “I believe her.
“Are you saying that he wants you to escort her back to her pack after she has the children?” Reece asks as his hand that is gripping the vodka glass trembles slightly. I can see his knuckles turning white from the tension. It appears today he’ll be the one to smash a glass in his hand. I walk over
*Rose* Kelly sits by the window, singing a tune that I recognize from my childhood. It talks about the silver moon and her flashing stars helping her look down on children. The moon guides their journey, and the stars light up their path. Kelly’s red hair looks like a flame as the light from outsid
Kelly rushes toward us. “Wait! Spanking who and what?” “Mark was trying to get Emily to tell him something, so he spanked her,” I clarify. Kelly frowns at me before turning to Eli. “Mark spanked Emily? Like, literally spanked her?” Eli nods. “I don’t think it’s a good thing to spank people,” I s
I look at Shelby. “Shelby… why?” She looks like she’s about to burst, and she finally spits it out. “Because I’m pregnant!” My eyes go wide, and I want to grab her and jump up and down, but I don’t want to squish Reeva, so I do a milder equivalent of that, which involves one arm and bouncing more
Rose It feels strange going back to Castle Dark Forest, and it’s going to feel even weirder being there again. It’s been so long since I first arrived there for the stupid contest… well, I guess without that contest, I would have never met my Alphas, so I suppose I won’t call it stupid anymore. I
Eli seems only half-convinced, and once Kelly and this guy are finally separated, he clears his throat.“I’m going to need the name of the guy who just sucked face with my sister,” he says firmly. “And I need to know where you’re from, and whether you have a criminal record, and—”Kelly slaps Eli’s
RoseI can’t believe how much the Goddess has blessed me. I remember all the times I was hunched over on the floor of the sewage plant trying to force myself to breathe through my mouth to avoid the stench. It didn’t work very well. I also remember all those lonely nights in my high school years whe
After a moment, I remember and quickly free him from the rest of his clothes. He pulls my nightgown over my head and tosses it exactly where he thought it should go and then lays me on the bed, All I’m wearing now is a tiny red thong. He stands at the foot of the bed and takes me in. “Damn,” he mur
Mark It’s my turn to spend the night with Rose, and I can hardly wait. It is a little odd being in this position, sharing my mate with four other men, but now that we have our situation settled, I realize I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m carrying flowers as I go into her room. I think she’s p
“No, little flower,” says Tristan.The smile on his face and twinkle in his eye made my heart skip a beat.“He’s not allowed anywhere near our precious little pups,” he clarifies. “Just the diapers. Dirty diapers, all day long… that’s his new job! We’ll watch him every second.”“But you don’t have t
RoseI love spending time out in the garden, and now I’m doing it with four little bundles of joy. I’ve heard that expression so many times, but now that I’m a mother, I really understand just how much joy those little bundles can bring. And with all the fear of losing them that I’ve experienced ove
“No.” Alpha Alice crosses her hands across her chest. “I’m staying out of this. If these Alphas want to take you, so be it. I know how the contest was supposed to go, and if one of them had a male baby, then that will be the next Alpha King. I’m not getting on their bad side.”“Appalling!” I shout.
