Andrei I sit right up in a bolt, jolting awake, trying to remember what’s going on around me. The sudden movement made me twist my torso, forgetting that I’m badly wounded. “Ouch! Fuck!” That dickhead really got me good. At least it looks like the cut is finally healing. Zerdan and Misha were getting worried when the blood won’t stop gushing. Zerdan. Tattoo. Did he…? I check my chest and feel for fresh etchings on my skin. I peer down, and even in the dark, my wolf eyes can see the tattoo. The blind wolf mark. It’s right there. The last thing I remember last night was Zerdan reminding me that it will take at least 24 hours for the tattoo to work. Twenty-four hours and I won’t have to worry about random she-wolves claiming to be my fated mate. Relief blooms in me knowing that the issue on having a fated mate will no longer be a problem. With Kayleigh as my chosen mate, I have everything I want and need. She’s everything to me. Now, if she ends up as my fated mate, li
Andrei “Who are you?” I immediately shift into my human form when I see the mesmerizing beauty in front of me. Her light-colored hair tosses with the wind. My fingers itch to touch her tresses and wrap them around my hands so I could guide her face steady and stare at it. Her eyes, reflecting the beam coming from the moon. Hues of violets lock gazes with me. Her presence gives me warmth like I’ve never felt with a stranger before. Odd. I followed the apple scent and now I’m in a stand-off, captivated by the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. Yes, even prettier than my chosen mate. “Does it matter? You know what I am and I know what you are. I never thought I’d see a handsome hybrid up-close and personal. Why’d you shift back? I wanted to see your hybrid wolf more.” Her voice is soft, but cheery. Like how sincerity would sound. She’s wearing a tube top and very short jean shorts while I’m still in my magic-veiled basketball shorts. I know very little about the re
Andrei “Male version mistress? Bahahaa! Goddess. You’re so cute. Is that what everyone is saying about me now?” I don’t remember laughing, heartily, like this. It’s amazing what this new she-wolf can do to me. My forehead descends to rest against hers. Her palms quickly rest on my chest. Not sure if it’s to hold me back from encaging her whole body in an embrace or to stop herself from throwing her whole body to me. I want to kiss her again but also want to hear what she’s going to say. So I wait. “Rumor has it that you’re bound to be in a marital contract with a red wolf princess. Another gossip going around says that for the past two nights, you’ve been sneaking out with Bash Wolfgang’s love interest. Hmm. I wonder what he’s going to say when he finds out. Seems like you got your hands full with the she-wolves out here. I feel bad for your fated mate. Waiting to meet you but here you are whoring yourself to damsels-in-distress she-wolves.” She breathes, softly, while her eyes
Andrei “Did you come to sample the hybrid werewolf?” I carry both her legs and wrap them around my waist then position myself to sit on the rock table. She’s now straddling me, the moonlight directly shines on her face. I catch my breath with the beautiful sight sitting on my lap. “Facts. I did. I wanted to check out the hybrid wolf tasked to marry the red wolf princess. If the wolf blood council and red wolf elders come to terms, you’re going to be a part of our pack, and vice-versa. I wanted to size you up, first. But I heard your dad is giving the council hell, trying to get you out of the deal.” Heat pours through my blood watching her lips move and hearing that I’m the one she came here for. Not Bash, not any other werewolf. Me. If she’s in a position to investigate whoever is marrying the red wolf princess, she’s either a red wolf elder family member. Or friend of the princess. Or she could be the princess herself. But no. The red wolves don’t have alphas, but they
Andrei “Can you stay for a little bit more? I want to get to know you.” A strange sensation rises up from my throat, leaving a lump that disables me. “What’s the point?” Her fingertips gently outline the sharp edges of my face. “I want to have more memories with you. Can’t we at least have that?” My pleading tone full of emotions. “No. We can’t. You promised, we’re going to forget about this night.” She stops touching my face and steps back from me. Instinctively, I reach out for her before she puts more space between us. I tug her close to my body and coil her arm around my neck, not wanting to lose her warmth. “This is fucking unfair.” This night can’t just end like this. I don’t even know her name. I don’t want to stop inhaling her apple scent. “Life is unfair. Just when I thought I finally found the one destined to be mine, unfortunately, he already has decided to have a chosen mate. It’s for the best that we forget about… this…us.” Her fingertips descend, touching
Andrei I make my way back to Bash’s place, keeping my human form. Dragging my feet, not in any hurries to get there. I push my wolf down to keep my head above my heart. If I let my beast surface, he will definitely follow the apple-scented she-wolf. Every now and then, I look back, hoping I’d see twinkling violet eyes in the dark. But I guess, I’m not that lucky. **Yo. Are you close?** Bash mind-links me. **Yeah. Two minutes, tops.” I communicated back. **Ok. Dip in the hot tub at the back before coming in. You reek of red wolf pussy.** **Fuck you.** I shake my head but smile to myself. Bash always, always, has my back. I hate that I have to go wash up. I would have loved to have the enchanting red-wolf’s scent on me for as long as I can keep it. But I also hate washing off because then it’s cementing the fact that I’m hiding something from Kayleigh. Like an illicit love affair. Goddess knows I didn’t cheat on Kayleigh. We’re not in a relationship, other than a vow to de
Kayleigh I never thought this day would come that I’d feel Andrei’s lips on mine. I never thought this would happen --- Andrei, kissing me while thinking of another woman. Andrei, calling me, “milashka” instead of, “malyshka.” Andrei, calling me what he calls someone else. I’ve been too self-centered thinking that I’d always have Andrei wrapped around my fingers. I’m glad that he found someone. I am. But it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt. “Where are you going?” With a firm voice and a frown on my face, I call on him. I can’t believe he was just about to walk out on me. What is it with alpha heirs walking out at the first sign of confrontation? “Out. I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be here right now.” Andrei looks distressed. But so am I. “Why?” Even with just a night lamp providing light to the bedroom, it’s enough to make the blues in his eyes visible. There’s no doubt that the sight of those blue orbs alone would make any woman’s knees weak. But not mi
Kayleigh “Marry me, Kayleigh.” “Are you freaking serious, right now? I thought I made myself clear, mate? I’m in love with Cillian. You were just with someone tonight and goddess knows where your lips have been before you smash them on my mouth. Ew. I don’t even want to think about it.” I playfully smack his arms several times. Even though, I seriously wanted to land some heavy punches after realizing where his lips could’ve been before kissing me. Gag. “I’m just trying to help. As for my lips…” He suppresses a grin and it earns him another playful whack. “Andrei. I don’t think getting married will solve any of my problems.” I blow an exaggerated exhale. “Why not? I’ll stick around for two years. Being married to me, I can help you rule your pack until your brother is ready. The wolf blood council will have no say. I’ll help you take over the Alpha King’s throne. Your dad can step down. Give him time to rest and recoup. If we still haven’t fallen in love with each other
Cillian Fucking Roland escaped. Or—I should say, thanks Goddess, he finally escaped. Gunner and I knew that there are still a few pack members who are loyal to Roland. The only way to identify them is to give them the notion that our security team is weak in hopes that they’d make their move to break him out of his cell. Our plan worked. They might have thought that we didn’t see this coming. But we not only saw it, we anticipated and hoped it would happen. A dozen of my best patrol wolves are tracking the former beta now. Following his every movement. They are instructed to remain undercover until Roland leads them to the one person who also needs to take responsibility of the wolf-war: my Dad. It’s only going to be a matter of time. It’s hard to believe that the man whose life is hanging on a thin line was once a parental figure to all the Wolf Bloods in our pack. Gunner, Kinsley, Reagan, and I
Cillian Kayleigh stares at Diesel and runs her hand over his arm to inspect the bruises marring his skin. She cradles his hand facing up, her thumbnail pressing in the middle of his wrist pulse point. In a swift move, she brings her clenched hand to her mouth before letting her fangs pierce into her skin without showing the little ones that she can partially transform. At the same time, her thumbnail extends into a claw, cutting a shallow wound on Diesel’s wrist. Again, without showing the kids. In the eyes of the Red Wolf pups, Kayleigh just bit herself with her human canines. Except for Uncle James who hasn’t been updated about our recent capabilities, the adults in the room know that Kayleigh and I can now partially transform and control which body part to shift. Just like the Hybrids and Demon Wolves. Kayleigh immediately puts her wrist over Diesel’s, letting her blood drip over his punctured skin. Everyone watches in awe, mouth gaping, eyes gawking, and
Cillian Ten weeks. The doctor said that we have ten weeks to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Kayleigh, Gisella, and Reagan finally agree to be cordial to each other for our wolf-pup’s sake. Kayleigh has been low-key acting as the buffer between the two she-wolves who are obviously faking their truce. All three ladies seem to think that we have enough time to get everything ready. They are hyper-focused on baby clothes and baby stuff. The three princesses think that those are the only things we need to prepare for the pup’s arrival. Ten freaking weeks. I will not admit that I’m panicking, but the truth is, I am freaking out internally. There’s so much to do and so little time to do it. Visit my mom so Kayleigh can meet her. Have an official get-together with Kayleigh’s parents. Settle things with my pack. Talk to Kayleigh about both of our packs’ situations. I’m all about going back to Ireland with her to help her pack. But not now. Not while my pack is stil

Kayleigh “Gentlemen, may I suggest that you take your ladies outside the room until they calm down. Let’s give Alpha Cillian and Luna Kayleigh some quiet time so that they can enjoy meeting their baby Alpha heir for the first time,” the doctor suggests. “I think that’s a good idea. Let us know when we can come back inside. I know that my wife and my sister can’t bear being around each other but they truly care about the wolf-pup. We all do.” Gio tells the doctor as he and Gunner carry their women outside the room. “All right. I’ll call for you when they are ready to behave.” The doctor dips her head to nod as she gives Gio a warm smile. “Thanks, doc. I apologize for my sister. You know how she is.” Cillian explains, embarrassed by his sister’s actions. “No worries. They were fine.
Kayleigh We all left the boardroom as soon as Zerdan departed. Gio went looking for his stubborn wife while the rest of us headed to the infirmary. Our best friends, Gunner and Gisella, stay with us while Cillian and I wait for the doctor’s arrival. I’m sitting on Cillian’s lap facing Gisella who is also parked on Gunner’s lap, just a few feet from us. As Gisella and I talk animatedly, giggling and laughing, the men stare at each other while they communicate through mind-link. I glance behind me to look at Cillian and smile when I see him nod at whatever his Beta is mind-linking him. I throw a glimpse at Gunner while listening to Gisella and saw him motion his hand as if he’s trying to prove a point in his mind-link conversation. I’m pretty sure that we look hilarious right now but I will not have it any other way. It didn’t take long and the doctor arrives with her staff. The vanilla scent she brings in with her inside the room immediately calms me. Her warm smile inst
Kayleigh Last night was phenomenal. I’m still in a state of bewilderment that the Moon Goddess chose Cillian and me to wield such extraordinary powers. We thought we were going to have an easy and a lazy morning. But we have too many questions about our hybrid-looking transformation. So, to rest our minds and find some answers, Cillian immediately summoned the one person we think who’ll have answers or at least know where or how to find information about our newfound powers, Zerdan. I called Aunt Bree but didn’t get much from her as she and John never experienced what Cillian and I had. However, she did mention that our ancestors, the Blessed Wolf and her mate, had the same abilities—they were able to shift into hybrid-looking werewolf and can also be in their normal wolf form. I called Gio and asked him to meet up here at the manor before my OB-GYN check-up, not realizing that it meant he’d have to cut short his and Reagan’s trip to make it back
Cillian To claim my mate. To make her mine. To mate, to mark, and mate again. To rut and knot. These are the primal needs of a werewolf. Setting aside the new reality and responsibility that the Moon Goddess just dropped on us, Kayleigh and I shift into our human form. We continue to kiss and touch and drown in our passions as if the last several minutes didn’t just change the course of our lives. “What’s on your mind, Kill?” she asks. “Nothing serious,” I say to down-play the weight of our awaiting duties to the Wolf Blood circle. “Is it bothering you? Do you think it’s bad?” The fact that she’s asking me these questions tells me that she already knows what thoughts and questions are running in my head. “Let’s talk about it later… I have some more important things to attend to,” I say as I catch her slightly parted lips with mine and run my hands on her back, squeezing her round and firm behind. For the l
Cillian Holding her body tightly against mine, I get up off the bed and carry her towards the window and sit her down on the wooden window sill. I unlatch the window lock and push the glass pane outwards to allow the cold fresh air in. The night breeze coming from the outside hits her back and makes her gasp. As werewolves, we’re more receptive of how different sensory stimuli can enhance pleasure. Like how hot and cold together can heighten sexual experience. The cold wind kisses her back while her front takes the hot friction from our bodies rubbing against each other. The contrasting temperatures mixed with the sensual strumming of our sexes release a different level of sensory pleasure. It’s magical. “Now it’s my turn to fuck your pussy. Brace yourself, because I’m not holding back. I’ve waited too long for this.” I band an arm around her waist to hold her down as I thrust my cock in and out of her with a desire that can probably move mountains. She holds onto my shoulders whi
CillianMy lips move to nibble on her inner thighs while my fingers gently push her silk panties to the side, revealing her bare pussy, already glistening with wetness. My fingers sink inside her, playing with her outer lips as I move to the apex of her opening and press on the little crux of pleasure. “Cillian…” Her raspy voice causes my skin to prickle. My cock pulsates hearing my name called in her breathy tone. I don’t wait any longer. I pull her panties to the side hastily and dive my mouth on her slick pussy. My tongue swirls around her clit for a few minutes before spearing in and out of her sweet hole. My mouth moves all over her plump pussy, kissing and making out with it like I do to her upper lips. Slurping and smacking sounds fill the room as I indulge in her delectable honey pot. I moan while sucking and blowing on her aroused clit, knowing that the mild vibration from my mouth will fully awaken her in the most delicious way.Kayleigh shifts to giv
