Slave to the Wolf King 104. Cast Your Eye
~ CASIMIR ~I shouldn’t have come for her myself. I knew that. Ghere had almost swallowed his own tongue when I said I’d do it. But the truth was, it had been… uncomfortable keeping my space from her after that delicious time in the visitor’s wing. I had needed to move, so I had said I would come for her myself. But I hadn’t wanted to reach for her, to warn her that I was coming, because I had wanted to see what state she was truly in. And no matter how she might needle me, it was a relief to see her not shrinking after I left.So why was it making my neck itch that she’d been… just fine? I had been braced for her shivering and pleading. To find her eating and talking with others was a welcome step forward from our previous separations. Yet, I couldn’t shake that irritation, like a gnat buz
Slave to the Wolf King 105. The Mission
~ CASIMIR ~ Jesse looked up at me, her face tight but smooth, like she was stifling laughter. My advisors rumbled behind us and Jesse’s smile faded when she looked over her shoulder at them, but I was too busy discussing this in the link with them. ‘A game would explain why they are noisy at times,’ Rake sent carefully. I nodded. We’d been confused by that—why sneak and hide, only to cheer and scream every few hours so that the entire wood heard you? ‘But it could be a ruse? She said they don’t usually do it in this area—and we know that’s true,’ Ghere offered. ‘It also explains why they’re all so young.
Slave to the Wolf King 106. Make Sense of It
~ JESSE ~It was stupid. Stupid to be so scared. Cazz could tear out Ryan’s throat before my brother could blink, I was certain of it. But, seeing his face…My heart was thumping and my fingers had started to tremble. It was so dumb! If Ryan was here, even if he was looking for me, it wasn’t like he was coming to kill me, or anything. For fuck’s sake, he sold me to the wolves. He didn’t give two shits about me. So why did my body feel like he was creeping up behind me, holding a gun to my head?Because coming here was supposed to be the escape.I kept flipping through the photographs spread out ov
Slave to the Wolf King 107. Wrestle with That
~ JESSE ~As our eyes held, the bond came alive—heat, fear, anger, and something frantic under it all that I couldn’t quite define.I instinctively took a step towards Cazz, but his head jerked back and he tensed, so I froze again.Then the door to the chamber opened and Ghere trotted in, ushering a huge wolf-man behind him.My first impression of this creature was that he reminded me of a professional wrestler—so I found myself swallowing back a nervous giggle and trying to keep my face straight.I’d never seen this guy before, but as Ghere melted into the background, the man strode forward. He was a complete beefcake—dark hair, hea
Slave to the Wolf King 108. Get to the Bottom
~ JESSE ~The tension in the room ratcheted up another notch.“Yes, I do,” I seethed. “So, did you buy all of us, or just me?”Khush didn’t even blink. “We take whatever approach is most likely to be successful with the least consequence. In your case, it was clear that the males in your family were open to… negotiation. They saw it as something like an arranged marriage,” he said with a shrug.“That’s not marriage, that’s trafficking!” I hissed.‘Don’t let him see your emotion. It will only weaken you in his eyes.’
Slave to the Wolf King 109. Be Gentle
~ CASIMIR ~It was the first time I’d drawn on the power in full since I’d claimed her and it almost washed me away. My body thrummed with it. A tsunami of strength and compulsion and sheer might. I sucked in a breath and had to work to keep myself from dropping to my knees in submission to myself.Feet planted on the stone floor for a moment I ignored Khush and all the others, just let it hum through my veins as I wrestled it under control.I was panting, I realized, my skin throbbing as the power coursed through me like electricity in my veins.Dear god,
Slave to the Wolf King 110. The Threat
~ CASIMIR ~Mind still open to Rake and Jesse so they’d hear every word, I stepped forward to put myself right in front of Khush. The male was larger than me by at least fifty pounds. If we’d been men, I would have needed to use skill rather than brute strength to defeat him.But we were not men. And he did not stand a chance.Snapping a thread of compulsion at him like a whiplash, I smiled as Khush’s eyes glazed, then he blinked and focused on me again.“Tell me the things you’re holding back—the things you think I wouldn’t approve of, or that protect someone else’s interests,” I said casually. I kept the others in the room ignorant to the conversation, their ears sto
Slave to the Wolf King 111. Commendations
~ CASIMIR ~‘Very good, Khush. You’ve pleased me.’His large body relaxed, the compulsion keeping his mind away from the apparent contradiction in that statement.‘Now you’re going to please me even more.’‘Tell me. I’ll do it,’ he replied as my power surged in his veins and the talons of it sank into his consciousness.I felt Rake and Jesse both tense and alarmed—confused—but they would see.I took the final steps to completely close the distance between Khush a
