2024-10-29 19:42:56~ CASIMIR ~
Jesse was intent, staring at her brother, swallowing, bracing.
I squeezed her shoulder to keep her attention.
‘You want him submitted—to both of us. He may do or say things that appear to others that he’s ready to harm us. But his true actions and intentions will be for our good.’
Jesse nodded, so I continued.
‘He is to fully believe that you are on his side—that you’ve been working against me, and will continue to do so. That he admires you and sees you as a part of his network—the jewel in his crown.’
Jesse frowned then

~ CASIMIR ~‘Maya!’‘I’ve got it,’ she answered, already gathering power and lifting his head with the weaves, hobbling forward as she cradled his head and set the weaves on him so that he stopped shaking and his wheezes turned to pants, then sighs.Jesse was standing with her hands on her mouth, staring in horror. But within moments her brother was rolling onto his knees and staggering back to his feet, looking sheepish, though with a gleaming light in his eyes that belied his apparent admiration of his sister.“You do not touch her. Ever,”
Slave to the Wolf King 322. The Reckoning
~ JESSE ~I sat at the table, Cazz right alongside me, holding my hand under the tabletop, glaring at my father who was slumped on the other side.He’d been beaten. And I couldn’t find an ounce of compassion for him.The two guards that brought him out stood, one on either side, their faces twisted into contempt. But my father didn’t even look at them.He just stared at me—drank me in. At first I thought his desperation had to be faked. But then I remembered, he was being painfully honest.I’d tested it.“Did you kill Mom?”

~ JESSE ~My father’s words were so obviously not true, I shuddered, shaking my head and grimacing. ‘Stop, Cazz! I told you, I don’t want him saying anything that he doesn’t mean!’‘Oh he means it,’ Cazz sent back, still snarling at my father. ‘He just needed a reminder of what royalty actually meant. I didn’t compel him to value you, Jesse. He’s doing that on his own. And rightly so. It disgusts me that God gave this man you as a daughter.’&l
Slave to the Wolf King 324. Finding Our Way
~ CASIMIR ~“What is it?” Jesse asked quietly. “What’s wrong?”“I hate seeing you get hurt,” I said frankly.She blinked like she was surprised. “I… thank you.” But that uncertainty was still in her eyes, and it made me want to snap my teeth—not at her, but at this man who’d undermined every confidence she ever had… and at myself for affirming all the fears he’d taught her to have.It washed over me then, that I hadn’t just been my father’s son, I’d also been hers. And that thought made me so ill, I had to push it away and shake my head to rid myself of it.
Slave to the Wolf King 325. Sleepless
~ CASIMIR ~A couple of hours later, the palace tunnels and the packlink were quiet. Jesse lay in my arms, deeply asleep, both of us warm in the soft cocoon of her furs. But even though I loved having her there and close and it soothed something in my heart… I couldn’t sleep.I couldn’t stop thinking about her father and what he’d said. I couldn’t stop seeing the similarities between how she felt about him, and how I’d felt about my own father—even if they used different tactics to mold us.And the hair on my arms kept rising every time I thought of that man and the network he likely had in the city…He may not have had my father’s supernatural power. But it was clear he’d been a charismatic and influential man
Slave to the Wolf King 326. Wolf in the Night
~ CASIMIR ~I paced that cell, grinding my teeth, hands clenched at my sides as I cracked his mind open like an egg—careful not to change anything, but sending those sifting threads through him just as surely as I did with any wolf under the mountain.He’d managed to evade my torrent of searching power because I’d sent everything towards the catacombs, while he’d been downhill from us.I wasn’t going to make that mistake a second time.Much as I hated it, I was using a technique my father had taught me.The power, like anything else, needed to be molded and directed. Compelling a person to truth and nothing else was fine—if you knew the questions to ask. But compulsion created its own ri
Slave to the Wolf King 327. One of the Girls
~ JESSE ~I sat in a chair in my room. There was food on the table, because Cazz was making sure there was always food nearby. And my females had gathered to sit with me—except for Wylde.I’d finally told them what was going on and how I was feeling, stumbling over my words and fighting back tears, but I’d been honest, and now… now I was waiting, tense, for their responses.I swallowed hard as Tynker folded her arms.“Well, I don’t know what you’re worrying about,” she said, flipping her dirty-blonde hair over her shoulder with a dismissive nose scrunch. She was the bluntest of the females Maya had introduced me to, and even though I appr
Slave to the Wolf King 328. Hiding
~ JESSE ~Reeca was sitting closest to me, and hadn’t spoken at all through my entire little rant about what was going on and what I was feeling and how scared I was that I was going to mess us up. Plus, I was rapidly gaining weight from the baby and even though I knew that was normal, it was happening so fast, my body was a strange mix of good, lush feeling, and discomfort and weird things.Yet, Cazz was so sweet with me. Every night he fell asleep holding me, cradling my stomach. Every night and every morning he leaned down to talk to my belly and good-naturedly shushed me if I tried to talk too, because he said it was important time for his son to get to know his voice.He kept me glu

~ CASIMIR ~I was pretty sure if I didn’t get inside her, I was going to eat her alive.Scooting with her in my lap, still straddling me, I got her so both my knees and her back were flat against the wall. Then I flipped open the wide, leather cuffs that had been secured directly to the wall and first lifted one of her hands, to strap it in so her hand was levered above her shoulder, but with her arm comfortably bent so she could relax. Then I did the same with her other hand on the other side.So I straddled the banana-seat, while she straddled me and her hands were secured to the wall behind her.Her breasts rose and fell with her heavy breathing, and her eyes were bright with desire.Overwhelmed again with how much thought she’d put into this, for a moment I just took her face in my hands and kissed her. But that drew us together—my cock pressing against her, and I couldn’t resist rolling my hips, teasing
Slave to the Wolf King EPILOGUE – Part 3
~ CASIMIR ~“I made a new Den,” Jesse whispered, her hands over her mouth, staring up at me—those beautiful eyes wide, but also a little fearful. “I know it’s not the same, but I got Ghere to help me because he remembered what things you’d had before and… I hope you like it.”Like it? Was she serious?My heart was slamming against my ribs, and I was having trouble breathing.The room seemed smaller than I remembered because the walls were painted a dull black. But the tighter space than what I’d had down next to the Den just made it feel more intimate.There were two lamps, one on each end, and a chandelier high above. Candles everywhere, though she hadn’t lit mo

~ JESSE ~It was Cazz’s turn to plan the monthly date. But I was humming about this one. Things were finally ready, and impossibly, Ghere had helped me successfully pull off the surprise. But I still had to figure out how to get Cazz there without ruining it.He’d taken me out to the meadow again—my favorite date. Though we’d enjoyed several others now too—and we’d just finished eating. He was leaning back against the cab of the truck, looking out at the city lights, his brows a little heavy.“What are you thinking about?” I asked him, though I had a hunch.He had his arm around me and I was leaning on his shoulder. His hand trailed up and

~ CASIMIR ~I came out of the bathing room after a long bath rubbing my hair with a towel, to find my mate standing in the middle of the chamber with her arms folded and looking sternly at my daughter, who sat on the floor in nothing but a diaper, with her chubby legs straight out. She, too, had her arms folded and her lips pursed in the perfect reflection of her mother.The two glared at each other and half my heart went cold, while the other half wanted to splutter with laughter.“Abigail, I have told you—”“No!”Our daughter could only get her tongue around a few words so far, but
Slave to the Wolf King 398. See Me
~ JESSE (a few weeks later) ~I had just finished nursing Abigail and was holding her on my lap while Reeca sat with me on the couch.Her eyes were bright and she was beginning to smile, so I was tickling her cheeks to see if I could get her to do it. But she was sleepy because she’d just eaten and only yawned and cooed.“She’s a very calm baby,” Reeca commented from the other end of the couch, smiling. She loved babies, and had been so helpful when I was tired—and just for reassurance for me.She was a calm presence in any room, and with Abigail, she showed a lot of delight and joy that she seemed to stifle in other areas of her life.“Reeca,” I said carefully, because I’d b

~ JESSE ~I was too tired to do more than lift my hands to his neck, so I just curled my face into his chest and let him settle us into the chair, cradled in his arms with my ass in his lap.When he’d sat, I had my head resting on his shoulder and my body curled in his arms.“Do you hurt?” he asked quickly.“No, just tired, like I said.”I felt him relax a little then and another chill started in my blood.“Cazz… what’s happened?” I asked quietly.He turned his head to meet my eyes and lifted his hand to comb hair back from my face. His throat bobbed, but his touch was g
Slave to the Wolf King 396. Peace at Last – Part 1
~ JESSE (Hours later) ~My dreams were disturbing—my body in pain, screams of terror, darkness, the floor shaking, the mountain falling, humans fleeing and wolves…I tried to break free, tried desperately to open my eyes and to speak, because I knew I was asleep. But all I did was fade… in and out. The nightmares, or nothing.And through it all, his voice.“Heal… live.”My heart ached. My body hurt. My chest didn’t want to expand. It was as if my flesh fought his words, and I didn’t understand.But finally, the dreams faded and I could hear a heartbeat. Little, and quick. And feel warm flesh. And the breath of my m
Slave to the Wolf King 395. Still Here
~ CASIMIR ~I felt the moment the power went out of Jesse. The entire mountain felt it.I howled with triumph and shifted, sprinting towards the room, ecstatic when there was no sense of Maya gripping my mind or stealing anything from me. But of course, there was no power left for her to steal.I prayed and pleaded and ran, Rory and the others coming in my wake. And the moment I broke through that door in my wolf—the only power left to me anymore—everything slowed. Though my body whipped and my mind was singularly focused, it was as if everything happened in slow motion.I caught a bare glimpse of Jesse on the bed, and at first my heart leaped. She was moving, awake, aware,
Slave to the Wolf King 394. The Arrival
~ JESSE ~Maya had me sitting up in the bed, curled forward, gripping my knees. Reeca on one side, helping prop me up, a guard on the other.My body was nothing but a conduit for pain. Wave after wave, my entire lower body condensing, contracting, pushing to get this baby out. I could barely think.Cazz was there, so quiet, so distant, but there, calling his encouragement and pushing love at me through the bond.There was a moment when I thought I wouldn’t make it, when I thought my body would give and I would just drift away.But then I caught Maya smiling. Leaning forward between my legs, reaching, grasping, for
