283. Let it Go
~ CASIMIR ~
Before I felt any pain, my mate swelled and those dark tendrils exploded from her like midnight fireworks as her screams turned from fear to rage.
I hit the dirt and rolled, coming up in a crouch, eyes wide and my entire body trembling in awe.
Jesse was on her feet, arms out, her face twisted in rage, hair lashing around her face as the power whipped into a storm around her—a twisting, accumulating storm to rival my own.
“Jesse…”
But even as her brother and his allies dropped—clearly felled by whatever she’d thrown at them in my defense—her shoulders shook. Her body convulsed, and sh

~ JESSE ~I was coming apart at the seams—my mind, my body, my soul. Everything in me sang with pain and heat, conflicting needs, unspent emotion. And all of it twisted together and roared out of my chest.I was overwhelmed, clinging to this power by a hairsbreadth, and fucking Cazz wouldn’t listen!But even that was making it all worse.When he stepped up and touched me, my soul sang.Now he stood here, touching me, staring at me with such tenderness, and it made me sick.I inwardly flinched, dying to protect myself from him, even as a part of me wanted nothing more than to t
Slave to the Wolf King 285. The World on a Platter
~ CASIMIR ~As I took hold of that raging ocean of power and my entire existence swelled with it, there was a fleeting thought—my father, snarling, insisting that a true mate would weaken me. As I took in the sheer breadth of the power she'd just thrown at me, the pure, unadulterated wrongness of that statement would have made me laugh if I’d had room to breathe. Instead I filed the bitter denial away to be fully explored at a later date.But there would be no later date if I didn’t quickly figure out how to release this power in a meaningful, controllable way.The ocean rose in a wave, crashing on the shore of me, and I shuddered,
Slave to the Wolf King 286. Shrieking
~ JESSE ~I knew I’d reached my limit and that power was getting away from me. I knew he was right, that he was the only one who could help. But the thought of putting any part of myself under his control again made me sick.Yet, I had no choice.And at some point, I had no more energy.Cazz had curled himself around me, his chest to my back. His nose was in my hair, his words whispered in my ear. I fought a battle between my soul—that wanted nothing more than to be held and comforted by him—and my heart and mind, that shrieked alarm.But I knew if I didn’t do something, this power was going to destroy everything.
Slave to the Wolf King 287. Aftermath
~ CASIMIR ~That torrent went on and on. I lay there, holding her, shaking my head—shaking all of myself. I was awed by her power.How had she contained it for so long?I could bust the cap off this mountain if I wanted to. But I didn’t.The more I molded the flows, the more I directed them, the easier it became to do so—to use and control them, drawing more and more from her in what seemed to be an endless supply, but eventually, I felt the pressure in her easing.Still, I
Slave to the Wolf King 288. Safety
~ CASIMIR ~My wolf snarled as the world spun and the whole world seemed to suck in around me, sound only reaching me from the other end of a long tunnel that was too brightly lit.The power had taken too much from me—obviously. I was sitting in the dirt, frustrated and shaking as everyone grew frantic.“Stop,” I hissed, but the words were thick on my tongue. “I’m jus’ tired.”I tipped my head back to find Jesse, because I couldn’t seem to move my eyes properly. She stood over me, her eyes so wide they were white all the way around. I tried to lift a hand to soothe her. “Iss okay. Imma be fine—"Rake was there, pulling her back and away from me even as he scanned
Slave to the Wolf King 289. Danger – Part 1
~ CASIMIR ~I was sucked back down into the depths, my skin feverish, my mind frantic with worry. But no matter how I fought, I couldn’t get free of the prison of my body. Couldn’t open my eyes, couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. I was trapped. Caged. And my wolf was losing its mind.I tried to calm myself—aware enough to know that something had to have happened. That I hadn’t just closed my eyes and woken up like this.But what?In the darkness, distant and echoing, I could hear voices. Particularly Maya’s. But I couldn’t figure out who she was talking to. The sounds and tones slipped away before I could gather them.But I could feel my aunt—her fierce protectiveness, her

~ JESSE ~I stared at her, my pulse racing, thrumming in my skin again. “Maya, I can’t!”“Yes, you can. With my instruction and the right focus… If I haven’t missed my guess, you already have. I saw in your brother’s mind what was done to your father. I have to say, that was very creative. And well-done.”“Yes, but… but that was… I was just—”“You were doing what needed to be done. Leading. And now you will do so again.”“But you said you couldn’t even do it—what makes you think I
Slave to the Wolf King 291. Danger – Part 3
~ JESSE ~I turned for the door to find Rake standing there staring at me, unguarded, and for a moment before his eyes shuttered, I saw everything he wanted—my safety, my comfort, my closeness… The yearning in his gaze made my stomach flip even as I blinked and shook my head, pushing myself towards the door, confusion and anger and fear and… just everything twisting together inside me.Rake’s eyes dropped to the floor, but his jaw set and he followed me. I could feel him coming up behind me, his long legs able to eat up the space faster than mine.As I stepped into the almost-empty hallway outside and he was right behind me, the urge was there to throw myself into his chest and seek reassurance, just like I al
