"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
“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
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
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 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 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
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 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
“Are you insane?! Do you even know what you're saying?!" My uncle, Marcos said as I stormed out of my office and he followed me. "I've made up my mind and I'm not going back,” I said as he kept following behind me, trying to keep up my fast strides. "You don't know what you're doing son, this is going to be a disaster, you have no idea what this means,” he said and that made me stop as I turned to him. "Really? So what do you suggest I do? Make that woman my Queen instead?” I asked in anger, "I'm suggesting that you think this through, especially with what has happened. She marked you Xander, that's not something you can easily overlook, so all I'm saying is just take time and think before you jump into anything. Because believe me, you might regret it," For a moment I just stared at him in disbelief not knowing what else to say. “If you don't want to handle the ball I can have someone else take care of it,” I warned, I wasn't going to let him make any decision for me that is
For a moment the world came to a stop as my heart lurched violently in my chest. This was really happening. The tension in the air was so thick it felt like everyone was holding their breath as Adriana looked at me before turning to Raven. Her mouth opened and closed but no words came out as she pointed to me then Raven. She shook her head like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. “This isn't what I'm thinking right?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “Why the hell does she…why the hell does she have your shirt on Xander and why?...” She shook her head as she took a step forward and stopped in front of me. "Xander…" she whispered as she looked up at me, eyes filled with shock. “Why do you smell like her? You slept with her." It wasn't a question, no, it was a fact. “Adriana, let's talk inside, I'll…” she suddenly gasped as she staggered away from me, hand covering her mouth, eyes round in shock. “I…you…oh goddess, you let her mark you?!” Fuck. My hands clenc
“Fuck! How the hell did this happen?" I cursed as I ran my fingers through my hair, my cold eyes staring at her. “Uhm, I sank my teeth into your neck," “Fucking open that mouth one more time and I swear I'll kill you?!" I said in anger before storming away to get dressed. There was no way to undo this. I didn't want this. This was supposed to be my game. I was the one who was supposed to mark her to make her crave me, want me. That was supposed to be my punishment but now it was coming back to bite me. “Come on Xander, we're mates this was sure going to happen one day, then why the hell are you acting like you're about to die?" She asked as she followed me but I ignored her. I ignored her despite the urge in me to pull her close, to bury my nose in her neck. Fuck it! “Stay away from me! Just fucking stay away from me!" I snapped, It became quiet as I started going through the wardrobe for something to wear, How the fuck am I going to fix this? What do I tell Adriana? “She do
The moment I opened my eyes, I knew something was wrong. I felt… different. My body was still thrumming with the remnants of something primal, something I couldn't place. My senses were sharper, more heightened, as though I’d just been through the most intense battle of my life. But this wasn’t exhaustion—no, this was something worse. Something powerful. Then I felt it. A searing burn on my neck, right where my mate mark should be. My heart slammed into my ribs, a sickening realization dawning on me as my fingers shot up to touch the spot. No. It couldn't be. My blood turned to ice as my fingers brushed over the tender, swollen skin. I sat up so fast my head spun. The scent of sex was thick in the air. And then I saw her. Lying there beside me, tangled in my sheets like she belonged there. Her bare skin was illuminated by the morning light, and that’s when I noticed them. Marks. Fucking love bites—everywhere. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might shatter. My han
I moaned as Dario pulled out of me but refused to let me go. My legs were still wrapped around him and my hands around his neck.“Let me take care of you, my Queen," he whispered in a hoarse voice as he leaned down to my neck leaving love bites.“Hmmm," I hummed too tired to form words.Dario turned off the shower as he took me out of the shower and sat me on the bathroom counter.“Just lean here for me my love, I want to prepare you a soothing bath, I know I made you sore," he whispered lovingly and I nodded as he rubbed my lips affectionately before going to prepare the bath.I watched him with half open and half closed eyes as he busied himself with filling the bath and pouring some soothing oil and salt.When he was done with his work he walked back to me as he stood in front of me staring into my eyes with so much emotion it made me shiver.“How did I get so lucky?" He whispered as he slowly leaned down to me until our lips were almost touching. “You're so beautiful, mine," he
“Dario, Dario, oh fuck! Stop!…no, don't stop, please don't stop,” I moaned as I took his punishing thrusts.Fuck. He wanted to ruin my pussy completely so I knew just who I belonged to.“Tell me you're mine," he growled as he pulled his cock completely out of me and slammed back in.“Oh fuck! I'm yours, I'm all yours," I moaned as my eyes went to where we were joined and the sight was hot as fuck.He claimed my lips as he kissed me fiercely, his tongue invading my mouth like he was trying to brand my lips and wipe away that warrior's lips.“Fucking mine, all mine," he said as he continued to thrust into me possessively, and the water running down on us made everything more sensual as the slapping of skin filled the bathroom.“You're so fucking fast!…” I moaned as my eyes rolled back in pleasure.My fingers were clawing at his back and I didn't know if I wanted him fuck me faster or pull out, but with the pace at which he was going, when he's done with me, my already sore pussy would b
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!"
