I shake my head at him. “Don’t do that! You have no right to demand to see the inside of my mouth!”

His little lips fall into a terrible frown. “I’m sorry, mama. I was just playing –“

My hands loosen immediately and I sigh, shaking my head as I gather him close. “It’s okay, baby,” I whisper. “I’m sorry too. It’s all right, we’ll just forget about it.”

He nods against me and my wolf howls her panic, dashing back and forth in my soul.

“All right, to bed,” Auden says, reaching for Vivianna, his face still stern and businesslike. Vivi hops up and jumps into his arms, Coco squawking and fluttering to the bed, following his little girl.

Niall looks up at me, worried. “We’re not fighting, are we mama?”

I snuggle him close. “Me and you?” I give him a big grin. “Not a chance, baby. We’re best friends.”

He laughs and then nods, well pleased by that.

“Okay, night, mama!” Vivi calls, held high in her papa’s arms and very happy about it. She waves to me, showing no intent of getting down.

I sigh

    My eyes flare wide as I stare at Auden standing before me.Auden’s narrow. “Why are you so upset?”I clutch the blankets tighter to my chest, my head spinning side to side as I take in the usual dream state – the bed, the breeze lifting the streaming bits of silk from the four posts, the gorgeous night sky above, the rippling shush of the barley all around.Yup, everything precisely the same.Which means that this is in some ways real – that this is actually Auden standing before me – in spirit if not in body.Even though his body is…very real here, in some ways.And we’re going to fucking remember this in the morning.Immediately I shift my clothes, replacing my usual slippy nightdress with a long baggy dress made of rough blue fabric, tight at the wrists and neck.Auden cocks his head. “Why did you do that?”I rais

    But this – this. The truth that we’re attracted to each other, when we’ve worked so hard to pretend we’re not? That we’ve fucking slept together in this dream, which is as good as life –That the sex was so fucking good – god damn earth-shaking sex – not just some stupid drunken quickie with a handsome man –The kind of sex that – that changes things –My face falls. I can’t help it. And slowly I shake my head at him.Because we can’t. We can’t. We – we can’t make that change in our real lives – too much depends on it. Beyond our sanity, the children –He groans, leaning forward, studying me. “This is…this is real, isn’t it?” he whispers, his face falling too. “You’re – you’re really here in my dream – this is some ki

    I stand, the kettle hanging lamely from my hand as I slowly walk to the door. But when I get there I don’t open it, instead just…staring up at Auden’s beautiful, desperate face. He stares down at me, slowly starting to shake his head.“Everleigh, let me in,” he demands, his words muffled by the pane of glass between us.I blink, watching him for a moment, considering that…he doesn’t really need to ask to be let in. Today Mahl shattered an entire table with his fist alone and Auden is every bit his son. Less brutal but every bit as powerful - just as physically strong and threatening, should he wish to be.He could break through this glass in a second.And yet here he is, asking me to let him in.He sighs, the breath chased by a frustrated growl. “Would you just let me in?” The words are clipped short by frustration.I stare at him for a moment longer before I lift my hand to the lock, deftly twisting it.I step back as Auden comes into my room, looming over me and looking down into my

    “Yeah,” I say, sighing hard, the word completely lame and doing absolutely nothing to encompass the full travesty of this situation. But it’s kind of…all I’ve got right now.Auden suddenly spins back to me, reaching out and wrapping a hand tight around my upper arm. I pull against his grip, baring my teeth on instinct.“Did you tell her?” he snarls, giving me a little shake. “You spent all day with Margot – did you tell her!?”“Tell her what!?” I cry, angry at him when he doesn’t loosen his hand. “That I got dream-spanked by the crown prince!?”His mouth falls clear open in shock, his face turning nearly purple with mortification – but his hand loosens and I tug my arm away, stepping back.“No, Auden!” I snap. “Of course I didn’t! I would never do that! This is fucking private, all right!? I’m sorry it happened – I never meant it to – and it was never supposed to! Margot said that the co-dreaming isn’t supposed to happen unless you’re actually in the room with someone else so I don’t

    Auden swallows hard, his eyes moving over Everleigh as he sits across the bed from her. His eyes take in the way she’s sitting there, all tense and prim, holding that teacup so tight it will probably snap at any second. Wearing that ridiculous robe that she so clearly picked because she thinks it’s not sexy.But it is. Of course it is. Because it’s so obvious – she’s working so hard to cover herself up to in the hopes that he will forget everything that’s beneath that robe. But all it does is make him remember it –The feel of her long smooth limbs beneath his hand, her leg wrapping up around his back –God, fuck – the feel of his cock pressing into her and then pounding deeper again and again, his teeth sinking into her neck - marking her – begging her to call him Alpha, to say he’s hers –Auden closes his eyes, clearing his throat and shoving the memories away.

    And it’s not nearly as intense as that – Everleigh’s scent is nowhere near as good as Evie’s had been - but certainly this draw to a woman is the strongest he’s experienced since he lost his mate and failed to find her after she vanished.But a series of anonymous women in his bed had helped him still the grief of Evie’s disappearance, though he’d certainly had to fuck his way through half the women in the army camp to free himself of her grip.Maybe…maybe another lover will do the same thing here.“Auden.”He turns at the door, meeting Everleigh’s eyes, gripping the handle hard to pin himself there, to keep from striding back to the bed and grabbing her to him, ripping that ridiculous robe right off her body.“I’m sorry,” she says quietly.He opens his mouth to protest, to say it’s not her fault – because he honestly believes her when she says she didn’t know.“Will you just let me be sorry?” she says, interrupting, her blue eyes hug

    I push gently at the door to Mahl’s chambers when I hear his deep voice call for me to enter. Immediately my stomach tightens at the sight of him raising his eyes to me over the table spread with papers, maps, and little carvings that must represent his troops.A deep growl rumbles in his chest as his eyes rake over me. I exhale slowly as I step into the room, looking around at the five or so men who have gathered with him. My eyes flash wide and I go completely still when my gaze lands last on a very familiar face.Alpha Wood’s brows draw together. He glares at me from beneath them, a great deal of hate and ire gathering there.Yup. He has…not forgiven me for the disgrace I brought him in flatly refusing to marry him five years ago.“Leave us, men,” Mahl murmurs, low and rough. I snap my gaze back to him, gulping a little, wondering if he saw the look between Wood and I –But the serious way that he stares at me lets me know that

    “I’m sorry, little bride,” Mahl murmurs, all grumbly and low and heated. “That I have not had the time for you that I would have wished. This war is…consuming.”“That’s all right,” I say, my voice a little tense as Mahl’s fingers tighten possessively on my flesh. “I…understand. War is…hard?”Pathetic. Pathetic and panicked, that’s all I am.Mahl smirks at me and turns me toward the table, walking forward a step until my rump hits the edge. To my surprise he then lifts me so that I’m seated neatly on the table, my legs spread wide to accommodate the breadth of him between my knees.“My sweet little Queen,” Mahl murmurs, shaking my head like I’m adorable as he leans closer to me - so close I can feel his breath on my face. “Don’t you worry about this war – let daddy handle it –“My eyes do flare a

    “What are you doing?” I gasp.“It’s easier this way,” he murmurs, settling down on top of my legs. He pauses for a second, but then his fingers wrap again around the edges of my dress, pulling it down a little lower so that half of my booty is exposed.“Auden!” I gasp, my head flying up.“Calm down, Everleigh, this is strictly medical. I just need to see the extent of the bruise.” His voice is low, entertained.“Oh, I hate you,” I murmur, tucking my head back down against my arms, my cheeks flaming.“No, you don’t,” he murmurs, making me smile. A soft scraping sounds, the lid of a jar being unscrewed, and the balmy scent of mint and eucalyptus fills my nose. “This will be cold.”I sigh and nod, consenting to it, thinking that sounds quite nice against the hot ache growing in my lower back. But I still gasp at the first t

    Auden shuts the door behind him and I still in the middle of his room, looking around, quite curious.Everything’s lit only in the soft blue glow of night but still – I find myself surprised. All of the furniture is very finely made and neatly arranged, but it’s all very…sparse.Except for one little stuffed bunny rabbit, sitting on top of his pillow, one ear flopping down before its beaded eye. I burst into a smile, loving that a great deal.“What?” Auden asks, coming to stand by my side and seeing my smile.“It’s just…you live like a soldier,” I say quietly, turning my face up to him.“I am a soldier,” he says, frowning at me.My smile widens. “You’re a General, Auden. But still, I just…didn’t expect you to have a guest.” I tilt my head toward the pillows and he turns, his frown deepening before it spread

    My fingers continue their work. His head just hangs.“What do we do?” he whispers.“I don’t know,” I reply, my tone matching his for confusion and sorrow. I sigh and take a step away, turning toward the window. “Let me go back to my room, I’ll sleep on it – and you’ll sleep on it – and we can –“But his hand reaches out and takes my arm again, gentler this time. I look back at him, frowning when he shakes his head.“Everleigh, you were here for a reason,” he murmurs. I stand straighter as I realize that he’s right – that I completely forgot that the castle halls are host to what is basically a gigantic orgy right now and that I was here in Auden’s rooms to avoid detection. “If, somehow, your fucking magical spell on Margot fails and Mahl storms into your room…”I grimace, turning back to him. “Yea

    “I don’t know about you, Everleigh,” Auden says after a long moment of choosing his next words. I flash my teeth as I realize that he has apparently chosen very poorly. “But I can control myself.”I laugh at Auden, low and derisive, leaning forward to do it – an act that only makes me wince as the bruise on my back stretches. “Auden. No, you can’t.”He glares at me, clenching his jaw. “Yes, I can!”“No!” I say, laughing a little more and shaking my head. “You can’t! Your whole life is about control and keeping things in line – about trying to fucking – fucking harness the wind, or something impossible like that! Keep a fucking muzzle on Mahl – these impossible tasks that you tell yourself that you can do, that you have to, and then you let them eat you up and you loathe yourself when you fail &

  • The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret   Chapter 136 - At a Loss

    Auden leans his elbows on his knees and dips his head like he does when he’s thinking. I watch, and as the seconds pass my anger comes back to me a bit. Not at him – not…not really. Or, maybe not at all at him?Or, well. Maybe a little at him.What the hell was he doing getting all high and running across the castle, anyway? What the hell was he doing fucking me like that – like our god damned lives depended on it – and then not pulling out at the end?He knows as well as I do that the consequences of a pregnancy that is not Mahl’s means…death.Death. Again, death! All roads in this fucking life lead to an abrupt and brutal death.But my anger at Auden is minor compared to my anger at myself for losing control. And at this fucking world for being a place where something as simple and natural as a pregnancy after a much-desired sexual encounter would spell the d

    I shout, my muscles clenching, my head falling back. I hear and feel Auden groan as he pitches forward on top of me, pressing me hard back against the bureau as my inner walls tighten against him, squeezing tight against his cock. Auden thrusts forward one last time and I feel him come, feel the warmth of him spreading in me, delicious and soothing after such rough play –My whole body tingles and I cry out again, little moaning sounds, my arms finding their way around his shoulders as I start to shake all over, clinging to him, everything I know and understand grinding to tiny broken pieces.He groans and holds me tight as the last final jerks pulse through his body. He loses a bit of control, his knees weakening, and his weight falls against me for a moment in a way that makes me gasp –My eyes fly open and he steadies himself, cursing lightly under his breath as he gets his legs under him again, finding bala

    Auden again shifts back, his cock withdrawing slightly, the sensation against my inner walls agonizing and fantastic at once, and then he starts to pound into me at a steady, punishing pace, fucking me hard and fast and relentless – just the way I want him to.My face turns hard to the left as my hands slam down on the wood of the bureau, balancing me as Auden wraps his hand around my back and pulls me further forward so that my ass is no longer on the wood at all. Instead, he holds my body tight against him, my lower back pressed painfully to the edge of the bureau as he picks up his pace, thrusting himself deep into my core again and again with a fervid need that makes me dizzy.My mind spins as my body tenses, as heat and some fucked-up need builds within me. Because this is all wrong – all of it is fucking wrong – I hid from this man for years, I’m keeping secrets from him that would break his heart, I’m engaged to his goddamn father –But none of that – none of that fucking matte

  • The Alpha Queen's Deadly Secret   Chapter 133 - Screw It

    There is nothing soft and sweet about what happens next.Auden grabs the ends of my skirt, hiking it high over my knees and pushing it back even as his lips part mine, his tongue sweeping into my mouth in a kiss that makes me dizzy with its absolute assurance, its claiming.I give myself over to him completely, one hand wrapping around his neck and the other smacking down hard on the bureau so I can lift my hips when his hands move all the way up my thighs and reach my hips, his hands wrapping around the edges of my panties and yanking them firmly down.A pathetic little whine breaks from my lips when he steps back for a second – but Auden just snarls, pulling the dainty scrap of fabric down over my knees and letting gravity do the rest of the work. His hands move fast to his belt and I move on impulse, a creaky moan sounding in my throat as I lean forward, grabbing fistfuls of the fabric of his shirt, tugging upward –He snarls, low and fierce – a wordless command to leave him be as

    Allowing me to see Auden standing in the doorway to the suite, his hair and eyes wild, his chest heaving with his panting breath as he stares right at me.My eyes flare wide. Wider. I go very still.What…the fuck is happening.Auden slams the door shut.The crashing sound makes me jump and shriek as I snap my eyes first to the door and then back to him. But something breaks in me when he reaches for the lock and flicks it, sealing us in.“What are you doing!?” I shout.He just growls, slowly starting to prowl toward me.“Auden! Are you fucking high!?”He reaches the end of the bed, still wordless, glaring down at me.Not – not mad –But the fucking heat in him right now –I shriek and roll to the far side of the bed as he starts to bend, reaching for me. My feet find the ground and I whip myself up, spinning to face him, my book going sprawling.“Get over here,” he growls.“Auden, you asshole!”He just starts around the bed and I shriek again, jumping up onto the bed and then down to t
