CHAPTER 74 KADEN’S POVShe was still asleep when I walked into the hotel room.Her body was curled beneath the blanket. Her lips were slightly open. Her hair spread across the pillow like dark silk. Peaceful. Beautiful. Mine.Goddess. Mine.I had barely slept. My back was sore from the hard motel hard bed I had slept after running away from her like a coward. I needed to get away last night. I needed to breathe. But I didn't. I didn't sleep. I couldn't because she was all I thought about.I dropped my bag and walked straight to the bathroom. I ignored the sting in my eyes. I ignored the deep pain in my chest that just wouldn't go away. My mind was racing. I had a summit to attend in less than an hour. But all I could think about was her. My Cora.I turned on the water. I let it run cold for a few seconds before stepping in. I scrubbed fast. I scrubbed hard. Like the cold could wash away the heat still stuck to my skin from seeing her in that towel last night.But it didn't. It couldn
CHAPTER 75 3rd POV"You let him go!"Kieran yelled as he stormed into Alpha Tobias’s office without knocking. His eyes were wide and was filled with rage. His hands were clenched into fists and was shaking with fury.Alpha Tobias didn't even shake. He was standing behind his big wooden desk. He looked as calm as always. A half-read report lay in front of him. He looked up slowly and met his son's raging eyes with his usual cold stare."Kieran" Tobias said in a calm voice "I assume you are talking about your brother.""You sent him" Kieran growled as he stepped inside. "You gave him the council invitation. You let him represent the pack at the Annual Alpha Summit. I have been going for years. I have been training for this. I have been preparing. I have been earning my place!"Tobias said nothing."You didn’t even tell me" Kieran shouted and slammed his fist down on the desk. "You just handed everything to him like he suddenly deserves it. Is that what this is? You are just going to ma
CHAPTER 76 KADEN'S POVI turned the doorknob slowly. I tried not to make any noise. Cora was finally asleep. Her body had stopped shaking. Her breathing was calm now. The heat had gone down a little. But I knew it would rise again soon. I had to move fast. I had to find a way to break the bond. I needed help. And I had to keep her safe until then.But the summit was about the start. I had to go.I fixed the collar of my jacket and I looked back at her one more time. She was curled up on the bed. The bowl of ice water was half melted now. The towel on her forehead was still damp. Her lips were slightly open. Her fingers held the sheet like she was holding me even in her sleep.I swallowed hard and opened the door.Then I stopped.Kieran was standing there.His eyes were red. His fists were tight. I saw his knuckles turning white. The veins on his neck were big. His jaw was tight with anger."What the hell did you do to her!" He yelled angrily but it didn't affect me.I stepped out and
CHAPTER 77 CORA'S POVThe door slammed shut behind me with a loud sound and my hands were still shaking. I pressed my back to the door. My fingers were curled into tight fists by my sides. My heart wasn't just beating. It was pounding. Anger filled my entire body. How dare him!!?My wolf growled inside me. She was just as angry as I was."He is hurting us!" she yelled. "It is too much. If you do not stop this I swear to the Goddess I will!!"My vision became blurry. This wasn't because I was crying. It was because of the red hot rage burning inside me.My fangs erupted out. My claws also joined. I was breathing heavily. My wolf was aiming for control. It was wild. She took over my senses and soon I turned around and threw the door opened.I had just one mission. And that was Kieran. I heard Kaden shout my name. I heard Kieran gasp in fear.But I didn't stop. I ran straight to him I didn't care that that his lips were bloody or that he was still weak from Kaden's punch. I aimed for
CHAPTER 78 KADEN'S POVThe phone made a crackling sound near my ear. It was from the reception."Hello. Is this Kaden Blackwood? Representative for the Bloodmoon pack?""Yes.""They are waiting for you at the Alpha Summit. I was told to pass the information to you."I closed my eyes. I held back the urge to swear. The timing couldn't be worse.Cora was still pressed against the wall. Her body was still shaking from my touch. Her lips were red from my kiss. Her legs could barely hold her up. Her chest rose and fell due to the intensity of what we had just done.I looked down at my wet fingers which was wey from her arousal."I will be right there" I said and then threw the phone to the table before turning to face Cora."They are calling me to the summit" I said. I held her face and kissed her hard. I slid my hand down. I rubbed her clit gently again. Teasing her."I am not done with you" I whispered.She let out a soft sound. Her hips jerked toward my hand.I pulled my fingers away s
CHAPTER 79 KADEN’S POVThe meeting hall was full of quiet talks and people saying goodbye as the Alpha Summit came to an end. I put my hands in my pockets and nodded at a few of the older Alphas as they came over to shake my hand. Their words were loud and clear."You stand strong Kaden Blackwood. Your father would be proud of you." One of the councilor said."The pack will be safe with you in charge" The other commented and I gave them my usual charming smirk. The moment they left I left the room because my mind was already back in the hotel room where Cora was waiting for me to continue what we started this morning.Just the thought of me thrusting into her was already getting me hard but I controlled myself. She was mine. Shs was no longer bonded to him any longer. I couldn't wait to sink my fangs into her and mark her as mine completely. I couldn't wait to take her in different positions.Fuck.I had left her tangled in the sheets. Her scent was still on my skin. Her soft moans f
CHAPTER 80KADEN’S POV“Cora! Cora!” I yelled as I searched through everywhere. My heart was pounding hard in my chest. The room was a mess. The bed was a bess. The blankets were all over the floor. A lamp had been knocked over. One of the curtains was half torn. The chair near the window was flipped. And the scent—her scent—was everywhere. But she wasn't here. Where the heck was this girl? Where had she gone to?My wolf pushed forward. I scrutinized the whole room and figured something. It was strange. From the look of things she didn't leave on her own.I rushed to the bed. I pulled back the covers fast looking for anything. A note. A clue. Something. But there was nothing.My hands curled into fists.“Where are you Cora? Where the hell are you?!”My heart was beating faster than ever as I ran out of the room and headed straight to the front desk. The woman at the counter barely looked up before I slammed my hands on the desk.“Did you see her?” I shouted. “My mate. The girl who st
CHAPTER 81 KADEN’S POV The second I closed the door and locked it – I didn't wait instead I turned around and grabbed her waist. I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her ravishingly. It was filled with hunger and desperation. Like a man who had starved for years. Like a beast who had just been set free. Like I had waited for this moment my whole life. And now that it was here. Nothing and I mean nothing was going to stop me. She gasped into my mouth. But she didn't pull away. She didn't stop. Her arms wrapped around my neck. Her fingers gripped my hair. She kissed me back with the same wild fire. The same need that I had and the same heat I carried. I held her hips and walked her backward. We didn't break the kiss. Our breaths tangled. Our hearts pounded like one. Each step was charged. Her heels clicked on the floor until her legs hit the edge of the bed. And then I pushed her down gently because I valued her like egg and she was not some cheap slut to me. She was my life

CHAPTER 73 CORA’S POVI didn't know what I expected when I stepped out of that bathroom wrapped in nothing but a towel.I knew Kaden would be affected.I knew his control was weak. That his wolf was restless. That the tension between us had been building like a house without foundation ready to fall apart. But I never expected this.He was shaking. Terribly shaking. Not just his hands or his shoulders. His whole body trembled from trying to hold himself back. His fists were clenched so tight I could see the veins pushing out under his skin. His jaw was tight. And his eyes.Goddess. His eyes. They were red. Dark red.There were burning with something wild and dangerous all at once. His fangs were outI could see them. Long and sharp. Peeking from under his lips. His wolf was close to the surface. It wasn't just watching. It was fighting to take over.And still even then I wasn't afraid of him.“Kaden” I whispered gently as I held his face to look at me. He didn't move. He didn't bre
