*Barbara*She’s asleep. The dirty Breeder is sleeping, snoring a bit, her bulging belly huge. Now is the perfect time for me to smack her over the head with a vase or something and drag her out of the castle through the tunnels.Kane will be able to do whatever he wants with her. It’s the perfect sc
*King Gene*I don’t sit here often, but I enjoy it a lot when I do, especially when there’s no one around to see me. Don’t get me wrong; I love sitting on my throne when all my subjects come to beg for help from me. The little worms come crawling in, bringing their finest heirlooms, hoping to bribe
“She… she’s escaped the dungeon, Your Majesty, and killed one of the guards,” he says.I look at him, not sure I’d heard him right. “What the fuck was she doing in the dungeon?” I ask.“King Tri—the Alpha Tristan, when he was king… he sent her there and told us never to let her escape,” he says. “Sh
*Barbara* She’s dead. I killed her. The fucking Breeder went and died on me when all I was trying to do was get her fat ass out of the bed and to Alpha Kane where she could be ransomed or some shit. Now, what am I going to do? Just as I am contemplating all of my life’s choices, the monstrosity o
Scared of being caught, I drop the Breeder on the floor and lean onto the shelf. Using as deep a voice as I can produce, I reply, “Uh, browsing for a book.” “What was that sound?” When the Breeder hit the floor, it was a little louder than I intended. “Uhm… encyclopedia,” I say. Quickly, I grab a
*Shelby* It’s been about an hour, but I want to give Rose plenty of time to rest. I can’t even imagine what it’s like carrying so many pups all at once. Well, I can’t even imagine what it’s like carrying one pup yet, so four… that’s just incredible. I’m starting to get hungry, so I mind-link Adam
“Nice deflection,” I say, and we both laugh a little. “She’s sleeping. She looked so tired that she barely lasted till I was out of the room before she drifted off. It must be so tiring having four pups at once.” “No doubt,” he says. “When we’re ready, let’s try for just one at a time.” “No promis
*Adam* The bed is empty, and from the looks of things, there’s been a struggle here. My mouth hangs open as I stare from the unmade bed to Shelby and back again. “What the fuck?” she asks, looking around the room. Without waiting for me to say anything, my wife runs to the adjoining bathroom. “Ros
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.
