Everleigh felt a throb of desire. Her skin was so sensitive that the tiny breeze flowing in through the open glass ceiling appeared to scorch her flesh. Her nipples were hard as diamonds, and the spot between her legs throbbed and scorched. What exactly is happening to her?Rufus seemed to be in pain. His muscles were rigid and she could hear his teeth rattling as he tried to contain himself. She now saw the mirror in front of them. Richard Griswold vanished along with their audience. They all left, as if they were giving them privacy. He gazed at her physique in the mirror. The sexy outfit revealed her body. She was still firm, with a small waist and pleasantly rounded hips. Her breasts were a little bigger after having triplets, but they were high and perfectly shaped, and when she glanced in the mirror, they seemed to expand with expectation.Everleigh took a deep breath and turned her gaze to Rufus. He was tall and huge, with broad, muscled shoulders, slabs of muscle over his che
Rufus chortled as Everleigh sat naked and examined herself in the mirror specifically designed for the ceremonial mating. She scowled when she saw no wounds, simply two bite marks on the flesh of her neck. "It was a spur of the moment, love. You know I can't hurt you." Rufus gave Everleigh a languid and contented smile. He is overcome with emotion as he looks fondly at her. He wanted to grieve for the years they had wasted. She continued to scrutinize her neck before turning to face him, her eyes wide with shock. Rufus can't wait to see what she's thinking. "Am I going to become a vampire?" She exclaimed, returning her sight to the mirror. "But I can see you in the mirror. You are not a vampire. What are you now?" He sat and held her from behind. "I am your mate, your guardian, your soulmate, your happiness and you are mine completely." He'd never desired a woman as much as he did Everleigh, nor had he ever been so satisfied with one. He was a tremendous fool to take her for gran
Rufus watched Everleigh sleep beside him, her long golden copper hair spread across his pillow as he had imagined it a dozen times. She was lying on her side, her back to him, the sheet bunched below her perfect little ass. He silently chuckled. She wanted to explore her sexuality. During their mating seclusion, he had given her a few preliminary lessons. But he had let her off easy.He remembered the day she came into his castle. Reserved, cold, but stunning. His heartbeat slammed into his chest. She was so beautiful that his heart squeezed. He had never met anyone like her. He never would again; it’s their nature.He wasn't good with her. He cheated on her numerous times. He stared down at his mate. He took advantage of her, but she refused to let go. She withstood everything he hurled at her. Then she vanished. It was too late for him; he recognized he couldn't avoid their inherent need for a mate.Richard Griswold and Rujan repeatedly told him that he was a fool. He lost his gem. T
Rujan was still unconscious. Rufus left Everleigh in their mating tower, still sleeping. He didn’t plan to ruin their seven-day mating seclusion, even with his brother’s interference. Looking at him right now, he is pale and looks horrible. He can’t find himself hating him for what he's done to him and Everleigh.His brother was the opposite of him. His boyish looks complemented his easy-going personality. He was approachable and always had a ready smile for everyone. No wonder, in the short period of time when Everleigh stayed in the castle seven years ago, they became friends. It felt ill to see him like this. What was happening to you, Rujan?In fact, Everleigh made friends with Rujan’s friends too. The son of the school director and even to her ex-boyfriend, who was Rujan’s friend. They had this kind of bond that he was often jealous of. He wanted Everleigh’s attention for himself, and the sense of possessiveness was new to him.Their father kicked him out of the castle for an unkn
Rufus frowned when she was thinking about protection. She was worried. Her memories of her taking good care of their triplets are her thoughts. Rufus growled as a feeling of guilt rushed through his body. He wished he was there for her. Changing nappies, feeding their sons and taking them to the park. The memories suddenly stopped, replaced by doubts, and the feeling of uncertainty was shown by her questioning look. She was trying to read him when he changed his mood and growled at her. Rufus smiled at her and kissed her forehead. “What are you thinking, love? ” “Nothing,” she lied. Rufus wanted her to be open to him and tell him anything, but it takes time, and he will do anything to trust him. In the meantime, reading her mind was enough to see to her wellbeing. His mate stretched and her sleepwear top taut across her breasts. Predictably, his body tightened in a spasm of hunger. Rufus thought of their slow, languorous early morning lovemaking, of the wonder in her eyes as he br
A tall, sexy, and beautifully blond woman was waiting for them in the main living room. All they did in the tower was make love numerous times a day. In fact, they had made love again this morning after she came out of the shower. Upon seeing her, Rufus growled and took to the wall while standing. Thinking of it, her body reacted.As if reading her mind, Rufus chuckled but scowled when he saw the woman.Her warm brown eyes were filled with happiness, and as Everleigh and Rufus drew near, she rushed forward to fling herself upon Rufus and kiss him longer and more lovingly than seemed proper for even married couples.The man resisted the woman's advances with his arms spread, casting a brittle glance at Everleigh. The woman was taken aback by his coolness and hugged his arm close to her bosom before turning to face Everleigh. The two women exchanged hostile glances for a brief moment.“So, you’re back? What now? ”Everleigh concluded that the woman knew her. She can’t remember her. But
Everleigh frowned. She knew there’s something about Rufus; she bet she never expected him to be like this. Killing the family of his ex-lover? Why? Was he so tired of Janice that he punished her family to the extent of killing them? With her hands shaking, she raised her head and looked into Rufus’ eyes. Rufus sighed with exasperation, as if he were frustrated. “How many times have I told you, Everleigh, I can’t hurt you? You are the mother of my children. Janice’s committed an unforgivable crime against me and my pack.” She didn’t say a word but just nodded. Still, killing them was too much, she said to herself. To her consternation, she can't find any disgust in it. Was it mean, her feeling for Rufus was so deep that, she accepted him or his killer nature? She must be insane. Rufus stared at her, and his face became serious all of a sudden. He was scowling and thinking deeply. "Soon, Everleigh, you will understand everything. All I asked was for you to trust me." She nodded and u
Rufus groaned. “Don’t think about that bitch. There’s an urgent matter. I need to attend to.” He rasped. His cock slid exquisitely against her, seating him fully, his pelvis brushing hers.“Shall I try again?” The male voice asked. Rufus leaned his full weight on her and the door, his legs braced, his head beside hers, and his forehead against the wood of the door. She was spread wide, helplessly open, and impaled upon his strong flesh, waiting to see if they’d be discovered. The door gave another shudder, actually opening a crack.Rufus lunged into her hard and slammed the door back shut. Everleigh closed her eyes, close, so close, to ecstasy. Remember to kill that scout after this.“Damn me, we’ll find another room, shall we?” The man said. Footsteps tromped away. He didn’t move, holding her up, still impaled, still arched against him. They breathed together, their chests moving as one.Slowly, so very slowly, his hand drifted down from the door. He brushed over the tops of her breas
"Sleep, my love. I'll take my fill tomorrow night.""Don't shift. I love your smell," she said sleepily."I won't," he replied, removing the bindings and massaging her wrist.Dark couldn’t sleep; his cock throbbed with need. He lay there, watching the stars and the moon outside, holding his mate as she slept on his shoulder. After two agonizing hours, her eyes flew open, and he instantly knew why. She needed to pee."Stay there. Don't shift," she ordered before closing the bathroom door. She was still naked, which added to his frustration. He mind-linked the chef to prepare a light snack for her. With the way his daughters moved inside her, he knew they were hungry. He needed to satisfy them first."No one can see us on the deck, right?" she asked when she returned and picked up the robe from the floor. Dark nodded and came to her. She looked at his erection and then back at his face."Don’t mind it. You need to
"See that moon, my love? Tomorrow, we will join the wolves in their mating game, but for now, I need you to prepare first."Dark began licking her skin and caressing her nipples with his huge, furry hands. She was fully aroused."Easy, love. Let me take care of you. You don’t know how much I want to take you like this."Dark bared his teeth in a look of such feral pleasure that only a fool would call it a smile. He wrapped one hand around her breast and squeezed with just enough pressure to make her want more. She closed her eyes against the overpowering feeling of vulnerability. She felt the humid warmth of his exhale the second before his lips wrapped around her. The sound that escaped her was so raw and needy she couldn’t believe she’d made it. Then his tongue curled around her nipple, and his furry cheeks hollowed on a drawing pull she felt all the way to her womb. She no longer cared what desperate sounds she made.
"Don’t blindside me, Rufus. You can’t protect me with it.”Rufus sighed. “I’ve already assigned scouts for them. Lander is already on Red Island.”“Do you have a place there?”“Every alpha has a place on Red Island.”“Interesting.”“The mansion is located at the far end of the island, away from the center. The boys can shift freely there. It’s time for you to meet fellow alphas and the king.”“Sonya told me that all wolves are afraid of him. I’m curious about his appearance and why he’s still mateless. I imagine he looks frightful.”Rufus gave her a peck on the forehead. “I’m happy you’re open now, my love. You should see the king before making any judgments.”“I think I need to go to the bathroom again,” she said.“If you feel anything, just tell me or show me. Castr
Diana’s shoulders shook with a ragged breath, and he turned his head, battling discomfort and regret. She had once been important to him, and he would miss her, but not in the way she wanted.“What do I have to live for if I don’t have you?”He turned at her question and barely caught her as she ran into him. Holding her at bay with a grip on her upper arms, he saw the devastation on her beautiful face before he could process her words. Then it registered.Horrified, he shoved her away. She was blackmailing him with her life.She stumbled back as her heels caught in the carpet. “Don’t put that on me,” he warned, his voice low and hard. “I’m not responsible for your happiness. I’m not responsible for you at all.”“What’s wrong with you?” she cried. “This isn’t you.”“You wouldn’t know. You’ve lived without me for many years;
Everleigh heard Diana ordered cognac to their attendant. “Ethan, you'll have a cognac too, won't you?' she said. “I know how much you used to love it,” she said.She sighed and thought that next time she’ll pay attention to Rufus’ likes and hobbies. She frowned when she remembered something, he was drinking the same drinks everyday but not Cognac.Those were the dark moments of her life with him, when she often saw Rufus drunk and few times sober. “He preferred vodka or brandy since I met him few years back. He was particularly fond of those spirits that he drank it every night before. We have collections of them in the castle including whiskey but I never saw Cognac.”“You’re right my love, I indulge Diana those days to patronize my father’s favorite drink but I am not fond of it.”Everleigh turned to Rujan, “I indulge myself with it sometimes,” Rujan replied.Raiden wanted to go to the restroom and she needed too. “I’ll accompany you,” he said. Rujan chuckled, “come on brother, let
Sonya helped her prepare for the formal dinner. Her hair was braided into a sophisticated bun that emphasized her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and cheekbones. She chose a sexy white maternity dress with a dramatic neckline that highlighted her luscious cleavage, which had become fuller due to her pregnancy. This cozy, simple dress was sexy with its low, open back. She wore 70-carat diamond drop earrings given to her by Rufus, among other jewelry from his mother. Sonya picked a diamond choker and bracelet for her to complement the earrings."The drama queen always portrays a demure personality, but she eyes the luxuries. She grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, so it's natural for her to love fine and extravagant things."Everleigh had never been competitive in her life, but hearing this, she was determined to show off. Rufus didn’t want her to wear high heels, so she decided on beaded flat shoes. The boys looked stunning in their tuxedos.Rufus and the boys were waiting for her i
"Are you sure?""Yes, I am sure.""Do you want to see the boys shift too?""What do you mean?""Yes, they can shift.""But they're so young!" she exclaimed."And they're my sons.""Why didn't they tell me?" she was surprised and hurt at the same time.Rufus came to her side. "Love, you can't remember a thing about shapeshifters like us. How could they show you?""Did Rujan know?""Yes.""When did they start to shift?""When Rujan invited you to the cabin.""It's not all about fishing and picnics, I see...""Yes, it's not about picnics and fishing.""What about our daughters? Are they going to shift at a young age?""I don't know. Nothing is certain when it comes to shifting. Alpha blood is stronger. I shifted when I was the same age as our boys, and Rujan shifted when he was fifteen.""You're twins. Did the shifting determine who would be the alpha?" she asked."Yes, it's one of the factors."
He traced the shell of her ear with his tongue, feeling her slick sex clasp him in response."Perfection," he whispered, following her down as she sank back into the bed.Everleigh gripped his upper arms and licked her lower lip, her hips moving in tight little circles, loosening the way for him. "Please," she pleaded again in that throaty murmur that undid him. Bracing himself with palms flat to the bed, he withdrew slowly, relishing the feel of her clinging to his cock.He returned with effort, pushing through the tight resistance. Her head thrashed and her eyes closed, which he could not allow. He needed her to stay with him, to see him through the storm he knew was coming. The pressure of his impending orgasm fisted around his bollocks and pulsed through his cock, warning him that he would soon be wasted by the woman beneath him.She’d snared him completely that long-ago night, bewitched him beyond redemption. There was no other choice for him.
Rufus placed her carefully on the edge of the bed. “Let’s talk, Rufus,” her voice faltered as he pulled her dress up and over her head. He tossed it aside, his attention focused on her full breasts that heaved with every ragged breath. He cupped their lush weight in his hands, his thumbs stroking over the hard, peaked nipples. She leaned back, her weight propped on her canted arms. Her lovely face was flushed, her blue eyes dark as if drawing him into the depths of the ocean. Her rich, inky hair fell around her shoulders in total disarray. She looked glassy-eyed and luscious, the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.“About what, my love?” he murmured, pressing her backward to take a nipple into his mouth. Her selflessness meant more to him than he could express with words. He had needed so much from her for so long, and she had given generously and with heartening enthusiasm. His tongue stroked over the taut point of her breast, his lips pulling with deliberately soft suction, teasing
