Dimitri reached for the waistband of his pants with slow and deliberate movements, maintaining heated eye contact with his new mate.Serena quickly averted her gaze. She could actually feel the flush creeping down her neck and chest, her skin prickling with a heated awareness at the obscene scene.The light material pooled at his feet, leaving him as bare and unashamed as the day he was born.A strangled sound escaped Emillia’s throat before she could stop it, something between a gasp of shock and a muffled moan of pure reaction.Sweet goddess, he was...magnificent!There was no other word for it. From the column of his throat and the broad span of his shoulders down to the cut lines of his abdomen and those impossibly long legs. Every inch of him was sheer masculine perfection given form.And at the apex of those strong thighs, the thick length of his arousal jutted proudly, flushed and rigid with readiness.Emillia couldn't tear her gaze away from it, couldn't seem to draw a full bre

The guards deposited the maid in an unceremonious heap on ground, her hair obscuring her face as she lay crumpled and unmoving.Meredith sneered down at the pathetic figure for a long moment, her expression twisted into one of utter contempt."This is what happens to those who dare defy the destiny. Who turn their backs on their sacred duties in favor of petty selfishness and greed." Her words dripped with venom."Let this be a lesson to you all," Meredith continued, her gaze sweeping over the gathered wolves with a look of pure, unadulterated loathing. "The path we walk is not an easy one, nor is it without its sacrifices. But it is sacred. Ordained by forces greater than any of us can comprehend."Then she turned her piercing stare on Serena. Her eyes bored into the younger woman with an intensity that seemed to strip away every last vestige of her defenses and false bravado."You would do well to remember that, dear. The choices laid before you are not ones to be made lightly or wit

Both grandfather-in-law and granddaughter-in-law walked in silence for a few more moments.Enzo took a deep breath, his gaze growing distant as if looking back through the mists of time."Long ago," he began, his voice taking on a rich, storyteller's cadence that could hush even the most raucous crowd. "There was a small village tucked away in a remote corner of the world where everyone knew one another and lived in harmony with nature and the ancient ways of their ancestors."He paused for a beat, letting the imagery take shape before continuing in a low, mesmerizing timbre."Picture it, child. A cluster of simple wooden homes with thatched roofs, smoke curling lazily from stone chimneys. Fields of golden wheat swaying in the breeze, orchards heavy with fruit. The laughter of children playing in the village square, the rhythmic clang of the blacksmith's hammer, the bleating of sheep in nearby pastures. It was a simple life but a good one."Serena found herself drawn into the vivid pic

Enzo’s tone was now laced with something she couldn’t quite place."He was an honest, noble soul who had fallen in love for the first time in his long, long existence as an immortal being. He was willing to make the woman who had so thoroughly captured his heart his absolute equal by bestowing her with that sacred piece of himself. But what he didn't realize..."The older man's expression changed to one with some deeply buried anguish."What he didn't know was that the girl's heart never truly belonged to him. That those in higher status, for all their outward gratitude and reverence, never saw him as anything more than a sacrifice - a powerful entity the heavens had sent to help cleanse their lands of the scourge that plagued it. A means to an end, nothing more. And on top of that..." His jaw clenched hard enough that the tendons stood out in stark relief along his neck and temples. "The woman had already pledged herself to the future leader of the village, having vowed to rule at his

“NO!” Serena jolted awake with a choked gasp. Her slender frame was drenched in a cold sweat as the remnants of her vivid dream clung to her like a suffocating shroud.Tears streaked her flushed cheeks, the salty tracks still damp against her skin as she blinked rapidly in an effort to clear her blurred vision.The silk sheets tangled around her legs like a physical manifestation of the turmoil that had plagued her restless sleep.The weight of Enzo's dark revelation seemed to have followed her into the realm of slumber, tormenting her with flashes of a life she couldn't consciously remember - but one that felt achingly, undeniably familiar.She had dreamed of a love so profound, so all-consuming, that it transcended lifetimes and worlds. A bond between a fallen angel and a mere mortal woman, one of such sacred intensity that it shattered the boundaries between the divine and the damned.And yet, she had also dreamed of betraying that transcendent connection in an act of unconscionable

Serena finally emerged from the bathroom sometime later, wrapped in a robe with her damp hair hanging in disheveled waves around her shoulders.She felt marginally refreshed and more human. The hot water had helped to clear her head somewhat, even if it couldn't fully banish the lingering shadows of her dream.She ran the hair dryer over her hair until the moisture was out. Then she went to the cavernous walk-in closet and quickly tugged on a pair of fitted black knit gown that skimmed her curves before falling to just over her knees.The v-neck was deep enough to show a hint of cleavage but modest enough to be considered casual day wear.She completed the outfit with ankle boots and a delicate silver-gold necklace with a sharp-shaped pendant she found inside her huge jewelry box.Her fingers lingered on the cool metal of the pendant for a moment, a lump forming in her throat as she thought of the man who had gotten it for her.The man who now knew the darkest, most shameful secret of

Serena's body went rigid against the solid oak wall she had just crashed into. Her heart pounded against her ribcage.She didn't dare look up, didn't dare meet the piercing gaze she could feel burning into her with an intensity that threatened to consume her whole. Deep down, in the very marrow of her bones, she knew exactly who had her pinned there - the one person she'd been desperately trying to avoid at all costs.Serena felt exposed and vulnerable in a way that made her throat constrict with guilt. Her chest tightened until each shallow breath was a struggle.The last thing she wanted, the absolute last thing in the world she needed right now, was for Knox to see her like this. She didn’t want to be seen looking all disheveled, emotionally wrecked, and barely holding it together by a few tenuous threads of rapidly fraying control.The whole reason she had wanted to escape to the city was to get a total makeover.She needed to change up her look so drastically that she wouldn't so

Meredith's long golden hair was a tangled mess.Stubborn strands escaped the hasty knot at her nape to frame her flushed face.The clothes she had haphazardly thrown on were slightly askew, exposing a glimpse of her creamy skin.Dark circles smudged the delicate skin under her eyes, and there was a veritable array of angry-looking hickeys peeking out from the low neckline of her blouse."Leave the poor girl alone!" Meredith continued in a tone of aggravated disbelief, shooting a pointed look at where Killian and President Bolting were seated at the dining table, whose eyes were wide with shock and no small amount of morbid amusement at her appearance."Have you lost all sense of propriety and decency? For heaven's sake, it's not even 9 AM yet!"Serena was also jolted back to reality as if doused in ice water.Her cheeks flushed an even darker red as she registered her grandmother-in-law's words and the implications behind them.She immediately tried to extract herself from Knox's embra
