Again I turn to look at him. What is going on here? “How would she be useful against Kane’s army? Do you want to use her as bait or something? Does the old man Kane have a weakness for malnourished women?” I ask. The king runs his hand through his hair. I can’t help but think he is trying to cook
*Tristan* I open my mouth and close it again. Luna Barbara is again cleaning the imaginary dust in my room, humming as she does so and swaying her hips. ‘Is this woman high on something?’ I wonder. I’m about to tell her to get out when there’s a knock at the door. I need to put on some clothes, so
“None of us is going to fall for any seductress. Rose is the only woman we need. Not even fifty or sixty women can change that,” Mark points out. “That’s a fact I can’t dispute. She is everything and more than any man could ever need. I mean she managed to tame me…. She did that without even trying
*Barbara*It seems I have my work cut out for me. I had mistakenly assumed getting one of the Alphas to jump into bed with me would be easy.The room assigned to me is so small, it’s the size of my shoe closet back home. I made my demands about my living conditions quite clear to King Gene. How dare
“This palace is full of gorgeous women. You’re Beta Adam’s wife, right? I’m Luna Barbara.” I smile at her. Honestly, all this fake smiling is making my jaw hurt and probably creating unwanted ugly smile lines.“This is Shelby, and we had no idea you were a parrot, Luna Barbara,” Kelly says sarcastic
*Eli* We are not in the greatest position. Not only do we have Alpha Stephen’s men in front of us, but Reece and I also have to worry about Alpha Kane. As some of our warriors poured in from their previous locations near the castle, they warned us that they had spotted the other pain in my ass cree
“It’s not as easy as you’re making it seem!” Kelly whines in my head. “It is as easy! It’s definitely easier than trying to fight two Alphas at once!” I shake my head in exasperation. Reece asks, “What’s going on? Is everything okay in the castle?” Tuning out Kelly’s pleas, I tell him what she’s
*Tristan*It’s killing me that I’m not out there with my troops, trying to hold off Kane, or even out on the battlefield with Eli and Reece while they battle against Alpha Stephen. I have some of my scouts out there, keeping an eye on the situation. If I need to, I can pull some of my own pack warri
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.
