I was still a little self-conscious when Cazz made love to me in the outdoors. I loved it, but I knew he’d had guards posted and patrolling, and since the wolves senses were so acute… but I made myself let go and just enjoy him. It had been so precious to see how excited he was about the baby, and his thrill at being recognized.
He told me he’d found the link with our child, which just about made me cry. I tried to do it, but either I wasn’t skilled enough, or our baby wasn’t, because I couldn’t find him.
When we’d made love and were just laying under the trees, I was half-asleep in Cazz’s arms and my mind drifted—the baby, my family, Cazz’s tension about taking me

~ JESSE ~He blinked and stared down at me. “I… I hadn’t thought of it that way.”I pulled his face down and kissed him gently. “I was thinking about what you said about death too, and even though I hate it, I think you’re right. Death is a part of war. And war is part of life. So… so our family and our pack will never be safe unless we cut down the enemies. I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I want you to promise me that you won’t stop me going into this with you.”His brows pinched down hard. “I’ve already said that you can. Why do you think we’re training—?”“I know. But I also know when you get tense and things go wrong, you’re going to want to jump to that pl

~ CASIMIR ~“…who can we trust? I don’t say that flippantly. We know that we’ve cleared the ranks of those who are actual traitors. But this will take wolves capable of deception and brutality. Wolves that won’t lose their nerve under pressure. And the females…”Jesse licked her lips and shared a look with Reeca. “That’s the part I feel so uneasy about.”I looked at her sharply. “You don’t believe they can be trusted?”“No! no, I didn’t mean that. I meant… Well, I’ll speak from a human perspective: We can’t always know how we’ll react if we get into a dangerous position with a guy. Are the female wolves all
Slave to the Wolf King 358. Hold Me Close
~ CASIMIR ~Embracing my mate had been a huge mistake… I had barely been able to keep my hands off her while we were meeting with our friends. Once they were gone, the moment she was close with her warmth and her rich scent, and her lips brushing my neck, I was shuddering for very different reasons.I hadn’t intended to start anything, but now that she was in my arms, nothing else made sense.I took her face in my hands and kissed her deeply—deeper, harder than she’d been expecting. She gave a little hum, but reached up to wrap her arms around my neck, letting me hold her more tightly, curling her backwards so I could grab her ass—though she hissed a little if I bent her too far. Her back was beginning to ache by the end of the day.“J
Slave to the Wolf King 359. Shell of a Man
~ CASIMIR ~I stood in the cell of Jesse’s father, nose wrinkled against the stench of a man who had given up on caring for himself, and shook my head.I wanted to shake him.He lay in the cot, dirty sheets, dirty blankets, dirty clothes, dirty man, and stared at the wall. I would almost have had compassion for him. But then he opened his mouth.“Never saw it…” he murmured. “Let myself get distracted by the fucking boys. She was the prize all along, and now…”He began to weep quietly and I snorted the air from my nose.

~ CASIMIR ~“We have identified our primary targets, and you are here because you are trusted. We will not leave this room until everyone understands their role, and is confident of what they’re there to do. This is not a time to be hesitant to speak. If you do not understand something as I explain it or if your personal role seems unclear in any way, you raise it and ask as many questions as you need until you are certain. Are we clear?”Every wolf in the room nodded. Some of the gathered women looked a little pale, others tense with anticipation. The guards were stern.“Very well, then. Let’s get started. If you are in

~ JESSE ~I was naked, sweating, and on my knees on the bed.Cazz had stalked through the day, abrupt and tense. I’d thought it was just because we were getting to the final details, and he was facing the fact that we were intentionally putting wolves within the grasp of powerful humans.But the moment the room had finally gone quiet after dinner and everyone looked at each other, no one asking any questions, he’d turned snappish—almost rude.Until he’d ushered me back to his room and begun stripping my clothes almost before the door was closed behind us.He groaned now, sliding hands down my spine to grasp my hip

~ JESSE ~“Settle, Jesse,” he laughed. “I only asked what might be best for late in pregnancy. I know everything is different with the belly. I don’t want to crush you, but I want to watch you… I need to watch you,” he said, his tone dropping at the end into a hint of self-consciousness. Vulnerability.I bit my lip and reached up to stroke his stomach as he thrust slowly into me again, then let my eyes close and nodded. “Well… good choice,” I breathed.He gave that low growl again, and my skin pebbled.“Jesse, look at me.”When I opened my eyes again, he lifted his hands and extended his palms. “Take my hands.”
Slave to the Wolf King 363. Among the Wolves
~ CASIMIR ~The morning those we were taking to the City left the catacombs was an exercise in sheer will that I had not experienced in years.We were surrounded and shadowed by dozens of wolves. And still, I had to fight not to grasp Jesse and roar at her to go back, not to gather the guards around the two of us and to hell with the rest, not to hold her belly and weep into her beautiful breasts at the fear of what might be on the horizon.But giving in to fear was not how an Alpha led.My father had been an evil fucker, but he hadn’t been wrong about that.So, I allowed myself the indulgence of gripping my mate’s hand at all times on the journey—at times,

Slave to the Wolf King EPILOGUE - Part 4
~ 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

~ 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

~ 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
