I was really running back, I was really doing what Dario wanted. ‘Stop Dario! This is madness!’ I fought with what little control I had left but he didn't listen as my paws kept pounding against the earth heading back to the palace.‘The only madness here is you letting a worthless female insult my mate!’ he growled as he pushed harder.It was just a matter of time before he completely shut me down and I knew I had to do something real quick before he did something stupid.“Matteo! Stop Dario now! He has gone out of control! Stop him, he is hea….**Dario.He thought he could stop me. Me?Never! If he didn't want mate I would have her all to myself. I would show her what it feels like to be loved, to be cherished.Goddess. I could still hear my name coming out of her lips. I wanted to hear her say my name all the time, if the bastard human didn't want that, that was his loss.While he is a coward I am not. We might share the same body but I'm not as stupid as he is.And that's why I
“I don't care, I want it!" I growled at the healer as my insides burned with anger and frustration.“But Your Majesty, your wolf is very strong, this medicine doesn't hold a candle to him. If it were any other wolf it would be able to shut the wolf for a long period but not your wolf." "Then do something! Make it stronger to be able to calm my wolf even if it's for a little longer than usual!” I said as my jaw ticked.I know my wolf and he's going to go again and again and again until he gets what he wants and I couldn't allow that to happen.“I'll get to it immediately, Your Majesty," he said with a bow and I clenched my hands before storming out of his cabin in anger.I wouldn't sit back and let my wolf control me. We either work together or he listens to me.Just as I stepped out of the healers cabin I felt it. Like someone was pushing through my mind asking for permission.“What is it Matteo?" I asked,Right now I was beyond furious and anything would piss me off. So he knew bett
“Let me go! I said let me go, you dog!" I heard her voice even before I saw her. "Are you deaf or something?! Let! Me! Go!” she growled in annoyance as the doors to the throne room opened and she suddenly came into view, our eyes meeting and I felt Dario stir.The guard holding her pushed her to her knees as she looked up at me with a smirk.“Oh, what's the need for all this drama? You should have just told me my mate was dying to see me," she said, the infuriating smirk still in her lips and my jaw ticked.“You may leave,” I said to the guard and he bowed his head before slowly walking out, the doors closing behind him.I sat on my throne staring at her and the room seemed to shrink as we both were involved in a staring contest.“What? Is this the part where you ask me to strip for you?" she asked with a raised brow as she watched me like she knew something I didn't."Or perhaps this is the part where…" she stopped as she tilted her head. “You ask me to be a good girl and use my mou
The room was silent, yet the weight of my uncle’s words pressed down like a boulder on my chest.‘His wife was found dead last night, exactly the same way.’For a moment, I didn’t move.“What do you mean?" I asked,“What I'm saying is that his wife was found dead last night, she had claw marks all over her body, she was clawed beyond recognition and we had been looking for her husband, we didn't know he was here—dead.” A hush silence fell over the room once again as my uncle walked further into the room.“Whoever did this is very powerful because from the look of things they didn't even stand the chance to fight back," That was exactly what I had thought. This wasn't done by any ordinary wolf.“Could this be the rogue Alpha's doing?" He asked and my jaw clenched,That bastard.That fool that thinks he can take over my throne.“This looks like something he can do, but we'd still have to be sure just in case there are more enemies we should be on the lookout for," I said and my uncle n
I felt my wolf trying to push to the surface, clawing at me to let her out but I closed my eyes trying to push her back.‘Never shift in public Raven. Never!’ My mother's voice echoed in my head and I quickly pushed away from the stunned maid as I jumped the broken plate and ran out of the kitchen.I could hear their murmurs but at the moment I didn't care what they were saying.I needed air, I needed to breathe. I needed to calm down my wolf before I broke the promise I made to my mother.My wolf wasn't as patient as I was, especially when someone crossed the line and that was exactly what that maid did.I ran through the hall pushing past people as I tried to get to somewhere secluded.‘Velia, please you have to calm down,” I tried to talk to her as I bumped into someone again but I didn't stop to see who I hit. I couldn't.I finally reached the woods as I leaned against a tree breathing hard.I clenched my hands as I rested my head against the tree begging my wolf to calm down.‘Pl
Before I could blink, Xander got into the water as he roughly held my neck and yanked me flushed against his chest.I smirked as my eyes met his.“Are you that desperate for my attention?" He growled, his hand tightening around my throat and I bit my lips, moaning.His jaw ticked as his eyes burned with anger. Goddess I love it when he's mad. I raised my hand to touch his chest but he stopped me.“Don't ever pull this type of stunt again, because you're not going to like what I'm going to do to you," This man was saying one thing but his body was betraying him real bad.“What are you going to do to me? Tie me up and fuck me?" This time his hand tightened around me so hard I could hardly breathe but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing any reaction on my face.“Don't test me," he warned.‘You know I like to do that,’ I wanted to say but I couldn't speak.For a moment he just stared at me as something unreadable flashed in his eyes and then he pushed away from me.Xander s
Heat.The realization hit me like a punch to the gut.My breath hitched as another wave of unbearable arousal slammed into me, making my knees buckle. My fingers trembled as I gripped the bathroom door for support, but it did nothing to stop the fire raging inside me.I pushed into the bathroom as I threw the towel on the floor and jumped into the shower. I turned on the shower as the cold water hit my skin but it did nothing to calm me down.My pussy throbbed, my nipples were painfully hard as I groaned in frustration.I rested my head on the shower wall as my breathing came out hard. Another shock wave went through my body and I cursed, pressing my legs together.Suddenly images of Xander filled my head and my thoughts were anything but holy I groaned in annoyance wishing that it was ice raining down on me instead. I've never felt so out of control before.I hit the shower wall in annoyance as I stormed out of the bathroom naked, running my fingers through my hair.No. I didn't nee
She remained quiet, her breathing coming out fast as I watched her, waiting for her to make her decision—waiting for her to beg me.I could see the unbearable need in her eyes. She wanted to beg, but her pride wouldn't allow her.She squirmed, pressing her legs together as if that would stop what she was feeling.I wanted to see her beg, I wanted to see her desperate and I wasn't leaving this place until I got that so I decided to spice things up.My hand reached for my belt as I slowly unbuckled it and her eyes followed.“What are you doing? I said I don't need you," she rapsed but I ignored her.I could feel Dario wanting to come to the surface and ravish her but I wasn't him. I wouldn't let a woman I hate make me weak.I removed the pants I had on, bringing it down with my briefs as my cock sprang free.“Now if I were you Raven, I'll think wisely," I said as I held her leg and pulled her to be despite the fact that she tried to move away from me.I hovered over her as she looked up
I woke up with a satisfied groan, my body humming with the aftermath of every wicked thing Xander did to me. Stretching lazily l, I felt a delicious soreness between my legs and I couldn't help but smirk as I closed my eyes recalling everything that had happened between Xander and I.The space beside me was empty and Xander wasn't there.Where did he go?I climbed out of bed drawing the sheets with me and I couldn't help but wince at the pain I felt between my legs.I could hear the sound of running water like someone was showering so I walked to the door the sound was coming from as I opened it and walked in.I couldn't help but bite my lips at the sight of him. Xander was in the shower, eyes closed, head thrown back with the water running down his body.His muscles were big but that wasn't the only big thing, being that minutes ago I had felt one of his big things inside me. His delicious V line was tempting and I felt the urge to just get on my knees and run my tongue on his body
I was about to scream at him hoping he wasn't going to leave me hanging but then he turned me over with my stomach down and ass pushed up and then he entered me again.“Fuck! fuck!" I moaned as I came on his cock but Xander wasn't done. He held my waist and he continued thrusting into me pushing my face into the bed.“Ah fuck! Oh shit, shit," he groaned as he held my waist even tighter pushing his cock faster into me.“Was this why you kissed him?..." He grunted as he pulled out and slammed right back. “Were you hoping he would fuck you?" Another hard thrust.“Answer me!" I couldn't form words with how fast he was slamming into me and he didn't like my silence.His fingers found my clit as he started circling it again and I moaned into the sheets feeling another orgasm close.“This is what you like, to be treated like a fucking slut, tell me you're my slut," he said and I didn't know when I said it.“I'm your slut, I'm your fucking slut!" Fuck this heat was making me stupid.“Good, th
An angry growl vibrated through the quiet forest and before I knew it I was yanked away from the warrior.“You bitch," Xander growled,The warrior stumbled, eyes darting around in panic. "Your Majesty I…I didn't…" he didn't complete whatever he wanted to say before he bolted, leaving just the two of us.I looked up at him with a smirk satisfaction curling in my stomach at the look in his eyes. “You want to be a whore so bad?" he said as his hand wrapped around my neck and a shiver went down my spine at the contact. “You said I'm not your mate which means I'm allowed to touch whatever man I want to," I said, matching his glare and he bared his teeth at me. “You'll not embarrass me, I will not let you humiliate me,” he growled in anger.“Humiliate you?" “Shut the fuck up! This is what you want? To be treated like a whore? Well, I'm going to show you just how I treat whores," he said and before I could comprehend what was happening he picked me and threw me over his shoulder."Fuck y
I stood at the shore snarling as my eyes scanned the area for the wolf who had escaped me—the wolf who had outsmarted me.It was fast, smart and I've never seen any wolf as fast as that.It didn't carry the scent of a rogue so it wasn't a rogue. Then who the hell was that?I fought the urge to just jump into the water and find the damn wolf but I knew it would be useless. The darkness covered me from seeing beyond where I was standing even as I used my wolf eyes and that made me furious.I shifted into my human form breathing hard and just then I heard footsteps as my beta and the other warriors appeared.“Your Majesty," he called but I didn't respond immediately as my eyes kept scanning, searching for any movement but I got nothing.My jaw ticked.“Have they found her?" I finally asked as I turned to him.“Yes, Your Majesty," he said and I furrowed my brows in confusion.“Where?" I asked, my voice cold.“We found her in the green spring lake having a swim," he said and my jaw clench
I raced into the quiet night, my paws digging into the earth as I ran. My wolf had been restless and I knew I didn't have a choice but to go for a run.I needed to relieve her of the pent up anger and stress, and with the heat, I knew it was just a matter of time before she shifted and snapped someone's head.The air was cold as it blew through my fur. I ran, my ears perked and my senses on high alert.The sound of the trees moving to the wind filled the night and the sounds of little night animals.It was quiet. Peaceful.And my wolf began to relax.Until—My ears picked up something and my heart skipped. It was loud, urgent, angry.Someone was following me.Fuck no! I couldn't let anyone see me.I increased my speed as I ran as fast as I could. I was strong, fast but whoever was following me was just as strong—just as fast and there was nothing but determination to catch me.I pushed my legs to go faster when I suddenly caught a scent.Xander. Panic slammed into me like a tidal wav
I sat on the chair as I titled my head looking at the rogue who was chained to the wall with blood dripping down his face.He had been caught wandering around the border like a bird sent to spy and right now he was proving to be difficult. Refusing to give me the answers I needed.“For the last time, where is Domenico?” I asked and despite the pain the rogue was going through he threw his head back and laughed."You really think I'm going to answer you, do you?” he said as he smiled, teeth shining with blood.“Really?" I asked with a raised brow and the rogue smirked.“Hit me all you want but, I'll never give you any answer, nothing,” I couldn't help but smirk as I leaned back on the chair just watching him. I knew how to handle his type.“Matteo," I called my Beta who was standing beside me and he didn't need further words from me he knew what to do.Without wasting time he took the bucket that was on the floor filled with silver-infused saltwater, and then poured it on the rogue an
I stayed under the sun all day with my hands tightly bound behind me. The ropes were so tight that no matter how I tried to loosen them it didn't work.Each time I thought I was getting closer to removing them, a guard would walk by and start watching me like a hawk.I swear, since they've made me suffer for something I didn't do, I might as well just kill Xander. Because he was nothing but a fucking ass fool.He calls himself the king yet he's so blind to the truth.First it was the sun, and now that the sun has gone down, I was still left out here in the cold.I sighed as my fingers twisted, trying to remove the knot of the thick ropes. I pulled and pulled just like I had been pulling all day, still nothing.I was tempted to summon my wolf but I knew that was dangerous, someone might see.I groaned in annoyance as I laid down on the floor trying to get a comfortable position. I was tired of kneeling.It was already dark and I knew that most of them would be sleeping by now, forgetti
“You tried to kill me.”A sharp, bitter laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it."Kill you?" I repeated, my voice laced with disbelief. "If I wanted you dead, Xander, you wouldn’t be standing here accusing me like a fool.”A dangerous warning growl escaped his lips as he took a step forward.“Watch your mouth or…”"You're going to fill it up,” Adriana shrieked in anger as she turned to Xander with pleading eyes."Just throw her in the dungeon already, she doesn't deserve freedom. She just tried to poison you and then she forced her dirty blood down your throat,” she spat in anger.But from all she said there was only one thing that stood out. Poison? They thought I wanted to poison him?That's insane. “Are you trying to finish what your mother started?" At the mention of my mother my hands clenched as I looked up at Xander in anger.“Don't talk about my mother, you don't know her," I growled, my voice low and dangerous.“Oh, you mean your traitor of a mother?” My sharp eyes nar
"Well, congratulations to you both, I'd like to take my leave now," I said and was about to make my way to the door again but Adriana stopped me.I swear I was seconds away from losing it and this she-wolf was really pushing me. My heat was bothering me and so was my anger.“I told you to stand at a corner in case I need you or are you jealous?" she asked with a smug look as her hand rubbed Xander's chest and my wolf howled inside me."Jealous? Of you? Well, he asked you to be his mate but I bear his mark, is he going to give you that too?" I asked as my eyes met Xander's."I'll be his queen, I'll rule by his side, I'll bear his pups and you…you'll be nothing—nothing but a nuisance and when he's tired of you, he'll discard you,” she spat expecting a reaction from me but I just shrugged,"Well, whatever makes you sleep at night,” I said,"That would be my mate,” Adriana said with a smirk as she leaned down and kissed Xander. He kissed her back immediately groaning into her mouth and I
