Sophia POVI could kick myself for letting my guard down in front of this filthy beast, I thought to myself as I felt him fidget next to me. I had my back turned to him so I couldn't see what he was doing, but I had no desire to turn around and find out. It didn't go too well the last time I opened my eyes.I couldn't believe he was jerking off right next to me. The audacity!Even though I felt a flutter in my stomach when he called me sexy...god...what is wrong with me!And now he was taking up the entire bed with his monstrous body!"Could you move over to your side more? I am barely hanging off the edge!" I snapped after I couldn't take it anymore."What? Go back to sleep," he mumbled."I can't! You are taking up the whole bed. You need to move over," I whined."You have plenty of room on your side," he grunted, then moved even closer to me.He is trying to piss me off, I thought. "No, I don't have enough room! You are too big for this bed, so just go back to your room, please." I
Matthew POV My mate was in trouble, I could feel it as my heart pounded really hard. Did that bastard Konrad get to her again? I swear I'm gonna kill him if he did something to her to hurt her! I jumped up from my bed and strode toward her room. I had promised myself earlier not to push myself on her or force her to love me. That was why I was keeping my distance, but if Konrad did not stop bothering her, I would have to keep her close to me at all times. Banging on her door, I kept shouting her name outside the door. It was locked. "SOPHIA! Are you okay in there? Is there something wrong? Open the door!" No answer. Okay, now I'm really worried. I couldn't wait for her to respond anymore. It was time to take the matter into my own hands. I cast a spell to open up a portal to transport myself inside her room. For years, I had been practicing my skills to open up these portals because I was never as good at it as Konrad. But I finally knew how to teleport. I could go to any place
Sophia POVI snuggled closer to Matthew as he held me against his chest. I was still shivering slightly, but his warmth spread through my body and I was slowly feeling better. He stroked my hair slowly, putting me to sleep, but I didn't want to let my guard down. Not after the way Konrad treated me.But Matthew wouldn't do that to me, would he? I wondered. He had been nothing but sweet to me this whole time, so I felt like I could trust him."Are you a lot warmer now?" he whispered into my hair.I nodded against his chest. "Yes, but could you hold me a bit longer?"I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled. "Sure thing. As long as you want me to.""Why are you so nice to me?" I asked."Why wouldn't I be?" Matthew sounded surprised. "You are my mate. I'm supposed to love you.""Then why is Konrad so mean to me? I'm his mate too!" I exclaimed. I know I have asked this question many times now, but it still baffled my mind. I couldn't understand that guy. How can two men look exactly the sam
Konrad POVDid I go a little too far with my prank on Sophia? I guess so.But Matthew didn't have to kick me out like that! I was eventually going to let her out and make her warm again. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't try to kick me out of her room and piss me off. It was her own fault.Or at least, that's what I tried to make myself believe."You shouldn't hurt Sophia like this. She will never love you," Valentina said.We were all gathered for our weekly training. I was exhausted because I liked to push myself as hard as possible because I wanted to be stronger than everyone. I was not in the mood, but here was Valentina, giving me a lecture about what's right and wrong."Who said I want her to love me?" I barked."She is your mate. Everyone wants to be loved by their mate," Valentina said matter of factly."Not me," I scoffed. "Where is Matty anyway? He didn't show up for training today.Valentina shrugged. "Maybe he decided to sleep in. He was up all night, comforting S
Sophia POV"What the fuck are you talking about?" Konrad barked at me. His green eyes almost glowed amber. Did I make him angry again? Oh great.Yeah, why did I ask him this question? I shouldn't care if he didn't smile at me as he did with Minerva. On the other hand, who really cares what girl this beast liked?But I cared. I burned with anger, and I wanted to run to them and scratch her face off. And then kick his shin with all my might.Ugh! What was wrong with me!? I have Matthew. I shouldn't be bothered by Konrad flirting with another girl! Minerva seemed so sweet too. She treated me way better than Konrad ever did and here I was getting jealous over nothing. I couldn't hate someone who had done nothing wrong. I should hate Konrad and only him. And being jealous over Konrad? How dumb when he didn't give two shits about me.Something must be messing with my head because I was going insane. [You love your mate even though he is cruel to you, don't you? Silly, silly girl,] my wolf
Matthew POV I was starting to worry as Konrad and Sophia were taking too long to get back. I didn't think Konrad would hurt her, but he made it difficult for everyone to trust him. So now, I was constantly thinking he was doing something bad. ~Stop worrying so much about them. Konrad wouldn't hurt his mate. He doesn't hate Sophia as much as he pretends to.~ Valentina linked with me and said. ~But still...he had already pulled mean pranks on her,~ I argued. ~I know what you're thinking. Don't go interrupt them. You know Konrad will get pissed and end up punishing her for it. You have to be careful and patient with him. Remember what mom said~ Yes, I remembered. Our mother wouldn't stop telling us how things weren't as they seemed. The darkness influenced Konrad's personality, but he was not a lost cause. She was working on fixing him, but why was she taking so long? I broke the link with Valentina and looked at Minerva. "Maybe you should go get them," I told her. Minerva could co
SophiaMy mark hurt. It throbbed under my skin, like an angry wound with a mouth that opened and closed. Was it trying to speak? If so, what did it want to tell me? Maybe my body was rejecting what Konrad forced upon me.[That bastard. How could I let him mark me when I wanted to reject him instead?] I cried to my wolf who just laughed in return. [You enjoyed every seconds of it] she hissed. He leaned against the cave wall, his foot propping him up, and he was so still. He was like a living stone who held himself rock-still. But when he did move, it was with a lethal precision, an animal created to kill and destroy. That was the sexy part of him. Since I'd never really experienced kindness from him, I didn't know if he had another side.I was so cold, so cold that it was bone-deep. A gentle, caring man would have offered to hold me and warm me, but Konrad wasn't a gentle, caring man. Not like Matthew. He was barely a man. He was a beast who could only hunt and kill. His eyes penet
Konrad POVI grinned at Matthew, waiting for him to explode in anger, but his lips curled into a small smile instead.What the fuck was he smiling about? Shouldn't he declare war against me by now? I just marked his mate before him!"So much for not liking Sophia, huh?" Matthew chuckled."Yes, I remain true to that sentiment," I said."Then why were you two making out over here? At first, I thought you forced yourself on her, but she seemed to be enjoying it. And it looked to me that you were enjoying kissing her too. The last time I checked, you don't enjoy kissing somebody you hate," Matthew said.What was his point? I thought irritably. "So what? I just have a physical attraction to her, that's all.""Did you mark her too! You asshole....you just had to be the first, didn't you?" Matthew growled, and I saw a flicker of anger in his eyes.Okay, so he did feel angry about this. "Of course, I marked her first. Her first time mating will be with me too," I declared."The hell it will b
Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
Sophia POV Is this really happening? Or is this a dream? I wondered as Matthew carried me to his bedroom. Tonight was finally the night I was to be mated to Matthew. I'd been thinking about it all day and let's just say my anxiety level was through the roof! "Don't be scared, Sophia. I won't hurt you. You trust me, don't you?" Matthew said gently. "I do," I whispered. Matthew put me on the floor gently. I felt like his piercing green eyes could look inside my soul and I felt nervous again. But it wasn't because I was scared of him. I could feel the heat between my legs as I watched him take his shirt off. I want him, and I can't even deny it to myself. [Holy hell, this guy is hot. I wonder how his wolf would feel when he buried his cock into you], my wolf cooed inside me, making me redder than a tomato. [Shut up! You will ruin the moment,] I hissed. I wasn't usually lusting over men like this, but for some reason, I could hardly contain myself now. I must be in heat. Matthew
Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc
Sophia POVGosh, I was having a nice quiet time in my room, eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, but of course, I got roped into their sibling bullshit.Again."What's happening?" I mumbled."Konrad and I are going to decide who gets to be with you tonight for your first time, once and for all," Matthew announced."Excuse me? I thought I already told you that it is up to me and not you. I get to decide who will be my first," I put my bowl down and snarled."Well...have you decided?" Konrad asked."No.""Well, there you go. You don't even know how to decide yet. So we are going to settle it. Then you won't have to make any kind of decision," Matthew said, deciding.These Neanderthals are going to be the end of me."And how are you going to settle this, may I ask? And why did you bring me here? We were not supposed to see each other until tonight anyway," I said irritably. All I wanted was to eat my ice cream in peace and read a good book. And maybe take a nice warm bath later. I s
Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that
Callan POVWas she teasing me again?I held my breath as Valentina led me into her room."What are you planning on doing? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Vikander?" I joked.Valentina said nothing. A mysterious smile teased her lips instead, and her green eyes twinkled. Goddamn, she was just so...How did I get so lucky to be in the same room with this gorgeous creature? I didn't even use my Incubus magic on her!That meant she wasn't forced to bring me here. That means she actually likes me."You are awfully quiet. Nervous?" Valentina said and giggled mischievously."Nervous? Me? Don't be silly. I am half incubus. I get girls left and right," I said dismissively. Okay, that came out bad, but it wasn't like I was having sex with them for fun only. I literally needed to have sex to feed myself."That stops now," Valentina's voice was bizarrely melodious, making my head swim."Your sexual conquest stops here," Valentina repeated."No, Val. You don't understand. I need sex to stay stron
Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu
Callan POV 'Life should never be taken too seriously. We only live once, so why not laugh and have fun while we are here?' —I breathed that motto. Because of it, friends had always come easy to me. I was popular. What could I say? I was a fun guy to be around. Even girls flocked me, but mainly because of my appearance. Being half incubus had it's advantages I guess. But honestly, that kind of sucked.I wasn't stupid. I had eyes and knew I wasn't half-bad to look at. I took care of myself, worked out more than once per week, and my mother called me handsome, so I had that going for me.But I wanted to make a connection, and there was only one person I was drawn to. Only one person made my heart perform somersaults, and the same person also made me dumb.Valentina. The only crush I had ever had. My body wanted her while my soul craved her. But she never looked at me the way I wanted her too. It was as if she was immune to my incubus allure. She looked at me like I was one of her br
Sophia POVI watched Valentina as she moved around the battleground. For some reason, she was having a hard time focusing. She looked nervous. She was usually the most enthusiastic one in the battleground!"Where is your head today, Val? You let Patrick beat you twice already!" Matthew barked.Valentina jolted as if Matthew's voice startled her. "I...I don't know. I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night," she murmured.Hmm...something was wrong with her, I could feel it."Valentina, if you are not feeling well, you should go lie down," I said gently.It has been a week since the ordeal with Liz and Callan. Konrad went to the demon world and opened a portal so Callan and Liz could come back. After that, he let Liz escape and told them never to set foot in this territory again.Because if Alpha Ambrose found out, everyone, including Konrad, would be punished for helping. And none of us wanted that.Maybe Valentina is upset about Callan leaving, I thought to myself.They seemed pre
