Theodore POVAnger increased my response to Analyn's attack on my Bunny. The helpless look on Bunny's face made my heart squeeze.I honestly hadn't intended to shake Ana so hard. Her head had snapped back and forth on her neck as if she was a ragdoll in my arms; I realized, too late now, Ana hadn't fought back because she'd reacted to Ambrose's Alpha Command to "Stop." "I didn't mean..." I was horrified. I didn't mean to keep shaking her after she stopped already. Ambrose cut me off with a slice of his hand through the air. His mouth was a thin line as he took Ana from me, holding her in his arms as if she was far more fragile than we knew her to be. "I'm taking Bunny away. The demon. Demoness. Succubus. I'm taking her." My voice shook. The alpha was eerily calm and it was never a good thing. If I hurt Ana in any way, I was doomed. I knew how deeply Ambrose loved her and he wasn't above to kill his own beta for her. I couldn't decide what to call Bunny with Ambrose staring at me
Irinira POV"Take your clothes off." I wasn't in the mood to play nice. Seduction was for sinners who wanted to pretend they were saints, not sinners who were embracing their sins with me. Neither I nor Theo needed to be told which category he fell into now. "You aren't going to offer to play a game with me? Fulfill a fantasy?" Theo said. A small smile teased his lips as he looked at me. My eagerness must be amusing to him. I didn't have the patience for his playing or any playing at all. My hunger was a gnawing ache in my belly; my whole body hurt from the burns inflicted by the iron the woman had used on me. Grimacing, I offered, "If you close your eyes, I can change my voice. I can't do anything fancy right now. I'm hurt. I'm hungry. I'm not able to offer more. Take it or leave it." If Theo chose to 'leave it' with me, then I was going to get gone as fast as I could hobble away. I'd have to leave him to find another victim which I didn't want to do. Prey was pretty easy to
Theodore POVI snaked my arms around Irinira, refusing to let go as she squirmed. We had been lying in bed together after I had made love to her all night. We had lost count on how many times."Let go already!" she let out a blissful laugh."Nope. You are not disappearing on me tonight, Bunny," I laughed along with her. She had shifted back into her human body after having her fill with me."You know my real name, so why do you keep calling me Bunny? Do you hate it?"I laughed again as she had such a serious look on her face. "No, silly. I just find you pretty, so the nickname is fitting."Irinira frowned. "I am not pretty. You saw my real form. I look like a monster. Nothing like those sexy wolf girls you are used to. So if you think I am pretty, you're gone crazy or you are making fun of me."I pressed her harder against the bed and hovered over her, my eyes fixated on her beautiful amber eyes that were full of lust. She licked her lips as if she was still hungry for me, but there w
Irinira POVI made myself invisible as soon as the Alpha barged in on our intimate time. I was disappointed that I couldn't spend more time with Theo.I was acting like I wanted to go, but in reality, I had no intention of leaving him.I stayed in the shadows so I could overhear their conversation. I wanted to make sure he was safe. What if that Alpha was here to punish Theo? I didn't want him to be hurt because I was careless.I heard the Alpha say he wanted to get rid of me. It was nothing new. I knew I did not belong here, and it was almost time for me to go. The pull from this earth was not as strong as the pull I felt from my demon world. I was weaker here. I was on edge.If Analyn attacked me and tried to send me back using her fae spells next time, I won't be able to make it.But I felt a flutter in my stomach when I heard Theo say he wanted me to stay with him. The sincerity in his voice made me want to try harder not to leave. Maybe I'll go to Analyn and beg for her forgivene
Irinira POVDemons don't fall in love.I thought as I stared at the fae in front of me. She had these utterly ridiculous words coming out of her mouth, and I didn't know what to say.So I laughed."I'm not in love with Theo. You are wrong," I nearly whispered after I got done laughing.Analyn shrugged. "Yeah? What else would you call it? Chemical imbalance? Do demons have chemical imbalances like people? I know you bleed, but are you really alive?""I...I don't know." My head was cloudy with confusion. "But please, let me stay here a little bit longer. I promise I will leave eventually and I won't harm anyone. I just want a little more time with Theo."Ana went quiet and furrowed her eyebrows. She looked like she was considering it."Alright," she said after a while. "I will let you stay. But keep away from my children until I can fully trust you.""What about the alpha?" I asked."I will try to reason with Ambrose. He may not listen at first, but he loves me. So if I explain some thi
Ambrose POVI squinted at Anna, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with her.When I pulled her away from Irinira after their fight, she woke up shortly and was frantic. She was crying hysterically about how Irinira was trying to hurt our children.She was angry and wanted to destroy her immediately, even though Theo seemed to be attached to his demon girl.And now, she wanted her to stay? Is this woman bipolar or what?"What are you talking about, Ana? You said she was dangerous!" I exclaimed."I thought so too. Just hear me out, okay? I had a long talk with her and she doesn't seem all that bad," Ana said."She doesn't seem all that bad! She is a fucking demon for crying out loud. And not to mention a succubus. You know damn well what Succubi are capable of. After she is done with Theo, she could come after us next." I frowned. "No, she is not like that," Ana protested."How would you know that?" I challenged."My instinct has gotten stronger over the year. I can sense evi
Theodore POVIrinira disappeared on me again, so I decided not to look for her. I knew she would come to my dream or appear out of nowhere like she always does anyway, so there was no point in chasing her down.All I needed to do was to focus on convincing Ambrose and Ana to make her stay.After I realized I was in love with her, there was no way I could let her go now. I have been lonely and miserable, feeling unwanted and being with her made me happy. I wanted to stay that way.I headed to the place where we usually hold meetings. I knew Ambrose wanted us to gather around there today so he could talk to us about the drider. We needed another game plan to defeat him.Perhaps, I will ask him about Irinira again.Only Logan was there. No Ambrose in sight."Hey, dude. Have you seen Ambrose yet?" I asked him."He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago," Logan said. He looked irritated."Well, I guess I'll go look for him. I shrugged.Logan narrowed his eyes. What the fuck have you been
Irinira POV"Don't listen to her, Theo! She is not me!" Rage flooded my system as I realized the creature I'd been approached by had stolen my face. Shifting forms was as natural as breathing for a demon of my type. Sex demons fed on desire specifically so we all had to accept our natural forms weren't the best for gaining us food. I'd never cared if another used my form for feeding.Until this THING stole my face to try to hurt Theo---Theodore was not anyone's food except mine! He was mine! Concentrating on the enemy, I locked onto his thoughts only to realize I couldn't read more than his emotions. I wasn't concerned with having the upperhand through mind-reading though.I wanted to control his emotions---his desire. My father was Lust incarnate; I was his daughter. I was not going to let some imposter steal from me or the one I'd come to love! Love? I realized I was coming to accept the idea of loving Theodore even if it wasn't in my nature. Demons were more than hunger. We c
