-Daphne-I had never thought being spanked could be enjoyable, and the first one had certainly hit hard, but this was something else. It was a mix of shock and a dull sting, accompanied by a warmth that spread to my pussy, making me wonder if I was dripping.“Shit, Daphne,” he mumbled, probably noticing it happening.He ran his fingers along the trail, scooping up my juices and pushing them back inside me before fucking me with his fingers.“Goddess!” I exclaimed.One finger joined the other two, stretching me. He didn’t move much, but I couldn’t help but shift back and forth, craving more, wanting them deeper inside me. It felt incredible. The pleasure began to build again as I fucked myself on his fingers, but then he withdrew them, making me whimper.“Jackson!” I looked over my shoulder to see him sucking his fingers clean, and the sight made me heat up.“Sassy mates don’t get to come,” he said, a teasing smile on his lips.“I was so close,” I moaned.“I know.”“That’s cruel!”“I kn
-Jackson-Yes, I was quite forward, but I had also made a bold decision to take my mate from her home in the middle of the night. Was there any reason not to act a little bold now?“Don’t jump to a different topic,” she warned me.“Why? Don’t you want us to have a family? Because if you don’t, that’s something we should discuss as well,” I reminded her.“Jackson, there might not be a chance of having a family!” she said, her voice tinged with desperation.“Of course there is. You just need time.”“Time?”“To accept me as your alpha. Once I’m all you can think about, you won’t want to be with anyone else.”“I never wanted to be with someone else,” she insisted.“But clearly, our bond isn’t strong enough since you’re willing to sacrifice it,” I said, noticing her gaze drop, the guilt evident on her face. I hated seeing that look. “I’m not trying to make you feel bad.”“But I do feel bad…”“Daphne—”“I’m a bad mate,” she whispered.“That’s not true,” I insisted.“But it is! I know what I’
-Daphne-I had been very clear about not wanting him to touch me, but when I woke up in the morning, I found a heavy arm around my waist and a hard body pressed against me. I was about to tell him to move to his side, but when I shifted, I felt his hard cock rubbing against my ass.A rush of warmth surged through me, igniting a delightful sensation I couldn’t ignore. How could I lose control so quickly? My body seemed to move on its own, my hips subtly shifting against him, inviting him closer.Jackson groaned darkly, pulling me even tighter against him, his hands slipping over my stomach and guiding my movements. “Hungry?” he whispered in my ear. “Do you need your alpha?”Goddess, I loved that dark morning voice. As his hand dipped lower, slipping under the t-shirt I had slept in, a startled gasp escaped my lips when his fingers found my clit. He didn’t move them. Instead, he let me roll my hips against his touch, bringing us both pleasure. I grabbed my pillow, biting down on my lip,
-Jackson-It wasn’t that I didn’t understand my mate’s concerns—of course, I did. It was just that I simply couldn’t care. Not now that I had her.“Because my family can be vengeful,” she admitted.I looked at her, surprised. “What?” I asked.“They can be vengeful,” she explained.“How?”“They are lycans. My father is powerful and on the council. Do you really think if he learned you had taken me and claimed me, he wouldn’t spin it around? He would make you the villain and destroy you.”“You’re mine. That should protect me,” I pointed out.“But will it protect your family? You don’t know my father,” she said.“He’s that cruel?” I inquired.“He’s cunning. Despite my better relationship with him than my mother, my mother could easily find a way to come for yours as well.”“Wow…”“I know how it sounds. Trust me, if I could just say to hell with it, I would, because I want you too.”I smiled, feeling a rush of warmth at her words, and placed my free hand on her hip, drawing her closer. “Ye
-Daphne-I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Jackson and allowing him to know me in return. We talked for what felt like hours, completely unaware of how quickly time passed until the sun began to set, casting a warm glow through the open doors we had left ajar to let in the cool breeze.“Shit, I think we’ve missed dinner,” he whispered.I turned to see the sun dipping lower in the sky.“Shall we go eat?” he asked.I nodded, and he took my hand, leading me toward the kitchen. As he made me sit at the kitchen island, I suddenly realized something important.“I can’t cook,” I confessed.He chuckled. “That’s all right. I can.”“You can?”“My mom taught me,” he said. “I’m not a chef, but I can make us some food.”I smiled, enjoying myself as I watched him start to prepare dinner. A warm feeling enveloped me, and I couldn’t understand why my family didn’t want this for me. Why choose coldness when I could have warmth?Then why are you listening to them? my wolf countered.I sighed, unsure
-Jackson-I could see where Daphne was coming from.“I can sense that changed something,” she whispered.“I still want you,” I admitted.Neither of us was looking at each other, though.“And I want you,” she confessed.“But you’re right. The thought is scary.” I turned to her again, but she merely glanced at me as she picked at her food.“Maybe we should discuss this after we eat a little,” she suggested.“Maybe that’s better…”We ate in silence, the atmosphere thick with worry. It was hard to sit with it, but we managed to finish our meal. Then it felt like we both silently agreed that now was the time to talk. I turned to her, placing my hands on her knees. She smiled a little, watching my hands before focusing on me.“I want to be with you,” I said.“I want to be with you,” she echoed.“But you’re right. There’s something dangerous here that we need to address.”“My family.”“Yes, and I want to keep my family safe,” I replied.“I know. That’s why I pointed it out. You need to let me
-Daphne-As Jackson explained his perspective, I slowly began to see where he was coming from. I couldn’t say I completely agreed, but I could understand his reasoning.“Jackson…” I started.“Consider it.”“But it wouldn’t be right,” I whispered.“What do you mean?”“I mean you would be forced to stay bound to me. Feelings can change. You could still get angry with me, and where would we stand then?” I asked, my heart heavy.“But it would be different,” he insisted.“No, you would hate me.”“Daphne, I could never hate you.”“No, listen to me.” I grabbed his hands, holding on tightly, and a smile spread across both our lips despite the seriousness of our conversation. We were still mates, and we desired each other deeply. But I focused on the conversation, needing him to understand the gravity of what we were discussing.“A lot of bad could still happen,” I reminded him.“I know,” he replied.“My family could come after yours.”“Yes.”“Rumors could spread.”“I see where you’re going,” h
-Daphne-Jackson didn’t return, not even as darkness enveloped the room. I sat up and glanced around, feeling a deep sense of wrongness about his absence. I understood why. We were mates, and I craved his presence. Even my wolf had retreated, urging me to think hard about our situation, and I was beginning to do just that.I pondered Jackson’s suggestion more and more, recognizing the potential it held. Yes, it might also ignite my family’s wrath, but if we truly wanted to, we could emerge victorious. The fear gnawed at me, but I knew I had to overcome it if I wanted the sweet prize waiting at the end. I just hoped Jackson would return soon.As if summoned by my thoughts, he stepped into the room, and I looked up in surprise. He glanced at me briefly before heading toward the shower.Go out there!“In the shower?” I whispered, feeling a rush of uncertainty.Yes! my wolf pressed. You know what you have to do. Follow his plan.“Follow his plan,” I mumbled, grappling with the idea.Was I

-Daphne-Two years later.“Jackson?” I called as I walked into my mate’s office. We often spent time together in this space, but I had woken up late today. He lifted his head and smiled at me, his expression brightening as I entered.“Hey,” he replied, his smile growing wider the closer I got.I walked around the desk, grinning playfully. As he reached for me, trying to pull me closer, I playfully moved away, leaving him looking puzzled.“Can’t I touch you now?” he chuckled.“Not yet.”“Oh, are we playing?”“Yup, my own little special game," I admitted.“Is that the game where you tease me mercilessly with your mouth and tongue?” he asked with a smirk.“No," I replied.“Where you strip and drive me crazy?”“Nope.”“I’m getting confused now,” he said, making me laugh. “What kind of game are we playing?”“A guessing game," I revealed.“Okay,” he replied. “Is there a prize for me to win?”He smiled mischievously, and I nodded.“I’m all in, then," he said.“Tell me the first thing that com
-Jackson-Daphne had her fears, but after I recovered and her parents received a proper sentence locking them away for years, she stepped up to the role of luna. I had never seen her flourish like this before. It was as if a hidden side of her had been waiting to emerge, ready to show what she could truly accomplish. We offered the pack members a choice, and almost everyone preferred to merge rather than remain independent.Daphne and those who chose to join her moved to our territory, but she still retained ownership of her parents’ former land and house. She made it clear that anyone who wanted to stay could do so, but they would remain under both our control. Everything was going great between us.I watched from a distance as my mate returned from a late run. Daphne smiled brightly as she saw me on the porch, and I pulled her closer, kissing her deeply.“Hey,” I whispered.“Missed me?” she chuckled.“Very much. We hardly do anything but work lately,” I admitted.“Yeah, what else sho
-Daphne-Jackson had to undergo minor surgery, but the doctor assured me he would recover quickly. It wasn’t long before he woke up, and all of us were there for him. His eyes found me first, and he smiled sweetly.“Hey,” he whispered.“How are you feeling?” I asked.“Sleepy.”“Yeah, the drugs are wearing off slowly.”“Mmm, wonderful,” he murmured.Jackson’s parents moved closer, and I let them have a moment with him as I motioned for Roman to follow me out into the hallway. We stopped a little further away from the others.“I can’t believe they did this,” I said, my voice low but fierce.“How do you want to handle it?”“I want them in jail until they die! If I weren’t such a peaceful person, I would hunt them down myself and end them!”Roman smiled at me, a proud look on his face. Confused, I glanced at him.“What?” I asked.“I just never heard you speak about them like that before.”“Yeah, well, they haven’t tried to kill my mate before. Those bastards!”He nodded slightly. “I will m
-Jackson-I was on the ground, bleeding and completely beaten. I had fought before—had my fair share of bruises and close calls—but this felt personal. The pain was different. I wasn’t sure how many had attacked me, but the unmistakable scent of lycan filled the room, signaling that these were no ordinary wolves. I had managed to take down one of them, who now lay motionless not far from me, but the others loomed above, and I couldn’t understand why they had stopped kicking me.But suddenly, the door opened, and I saw polished shoes approaching. Straining to keep my eyes open, I let them wander up to see Daphne’s father standing before me.“You’ve caused me a lot of problems,” he accused.I tried to speak, but all I could do was cough up blood.“I need to have you removed so I can bring my daughter home.”Hadn’t he already tried to ruin her with those rumors? Why would he want to kill me now?“She… is… mine,” I croaked.“Not for long.”I watched in horror as one of the others handed hi
-Jackson-Daphne was initially scared as we began to dance, but when I asked her what it mattered what other people thought, something shifted in her. She started to enjoy our night. I led her through two dances before we finally joined the party and began to mingle.Not many people wanted to talk to us, but I knew some individuals would never be swayed. They thrived on drama and reveled in the rumors, but we wouldn’t let that bother us. Daphne and I were happy together, and nothing could ruin that.“I see my parents,” Daphne mumbled as she sipped her drink.After a while, we had retreated to the bar to enjoy some time together.“You want to talk to them now?” I inquired.I knew it was the smart move, but Daphne shook her head.“Not yet.”“Well, how about you wait here while I go to the bathroom for a moment, and then we can face them?” I suggested.“Yeah, let’s wait a little. I’ll be right here,” she assured me.I leaned closer and kissed her before downing my drink, then I walked awa
-Daphne-Jackson came up behind me as I stood in the closet, fully dressed. He kissed my neck, filling me with a sense of calm and security as I felt his powerful body pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan as he kissed the mark on my shoulder.My dress was sleeveless and strapless, and my hair was up, making it clear to everyone that I was taken. I knew this pleased my mate immensely. It was a silent statement to anyone who dared to approach me. I squeezed his hands on my stomach before turning around to face him.“You ready?” he asked.“Not really,” I admitted.“Why not?”“I’m so nervous. I’ve never stood up to them before.”He smiled softly and kissed me. “You’re not alone.”I smiled back, finally noticing how incredibly handsome he looked in a suit. I ran my hands down his arms and back up, and I knew he noticed the shift in me.“Like what you see?”“Very much,” I confessed.“You look amazing too,” he complimented, making me grin wider as warmth flushed my cheeks.“I love you,
-Jackson-Later in the evening, as rain began to pour, my family gathered in one of the living rooms. It was just my parents, Daphne, Ana, Roman, and me. We sipped drinks, munched on snacks, and chatted, and I genuinely enjoyed being there with them. I loved them all so much, and when I turned to look at my mate, I felt it in my heart too. I was falling for Daphne.“So, when are you heading home?” I asked Ana.“Oh, you want to get rid of me that fast, huh?” she teased.We all chuckled.“Just asking,” I replied.“No, you’re trying to kick me out,” she teased.I shook my head, but she finally turned serious. “No, we’re going home tomorrow to start setting everything up for the party.”“It’ll be the party from hell,” Daphne said.“No, it’ll be fine,” Roman assured her.“Is there anything special we should be prepared for?” my mother inquired.“Just that my family can be mean,” Daphne said.“We all need to be confident and relaxed,” Roman advised. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the rumors hav
-Daphne-Roman and I walked side by side outside. Jackson and Ana had decided to spend some time together after Roman asked if he could have a moment with me. I was grateful he had asked because I had missed my friend and needed his guidance.“So, how is it going?” Roman asked.“It’s… good,” I replied, searching for the right word. Even “good” couldn’t fully capture how wonderful I felt.When Roman noticed the smile on my lips, he began to smile too. “You look better.”“Better?” I echoed.“Taller,” he said.“Yeah, Jackson brings out something in me,” I admitted, feeling a rush of warmth at how my mate was transforming me for the better.“I wish I could have done more for you,” he said. “Being my queen was supposed to be your escape, but then Ana appeared, and you had to go home again.”“Roman, I don’t blame you for loving her,” I assured him.“No, but I feel bad that I couldn’t do more for you, that I allowed them to turn you into that person,” he confessed.“That person?” I questioned
