Rufus swooped her up and took her mouth with his. The kiss was hard, demanding, proprietorial, almost brutal, but he could no longer hold himself in check.

She was his.

Absolutely incontrovertibly his.

Nothing had ever felt as right as holding Everleigh, kissing her. He pulled her close, enfolded her in an embrace that nothing could break.

He needed her.

Wouldn’t be whole without her.

The feel of her there, her heart hammering in time with his, her soft lips yielding, even giving back kiss for furious kiss, only strengthened his certainty.

She was right, he was feeling edgy. His past was haunting him. He drew back enough to lick a line from her collarbone to her ear, feeling her judder in response, her breath catch in a gasp of pure pleasure.

He drew back just enough to hold her dazed eyes with his. This time when he kissed her, he lifted her right off the tub, securing her with one arm around her bottom, the other around her torso, pulling her to him as if he could meld her wet form

    Everleigh felt his forearm tense beneath her fingers the moment their gazes met. She could see why. The woman, she knew was Alice, was deeply in love with Rufus. It was there on her face and in her pale, blue eyes. Her beauty was stunning, so exquisite as to be surreal. Her hair was gold as sunshine and hung thick and straight almost to her waist. Her dress was the same icy hue as her eyes, her skin golden from the sun, her body long and perfectly curved.“Alice,” he greeted her, the natural rasp in his voice even more pronounced. He released her and caught her hands. “You said you’ll come tomorrow. I would’ve picked you up.” “I have some early business meetings to attend to. It’s been a long time you made a visit on the Bell territory” she said, in a voice that was cultured and smooth.“I have been busy”As if that reminded him she was next to him, he released her and drew her up to his side. “Alice, this is Everleigh Griswold, my mate. Leigh, Alice Bell. An old friend.”She extend

    Rufus made a mistake. He didn’t consider his wife in making the decision. He was focused on protecting her and using Alice to get to the enemy. Damn!“You looked like a rogue dominated by your mate Alpha.”He hissed, “she is my mate and I made a terrible mistake because of you several years ago. This is the ultimate rule of our nature, you know that Alice.” He said it with double meaning. Like him, Alice can’t accept that her mate was pure human like Lander. Unlike her, he already accepts his fate wholeheartedly. Alice can’t accept the fate and it made Lander mad.Lander made promise to the royals to safeguard their ultimate rule. Keeping their race a secret from humans. The reason why he was removed from the wanted list because he pledge that he was pure human and their rules were not bounded to humans. It means, that he was simply human, not power over us. Janice and Lander were connected through their human mother's blood.The man was obsessed with his mate. He couldn’t kill him. Hu

    It’s been three days since she woke up but she didn’t say a word at him. Only to him. She even spoke with Alice by telling her that she was welcome whenever she wanted. Rufus became frustrated but he didn’t want to stress her. Castro told him that she and their pups were in good health. He was anxious when she insisted of going to school.He doubled the security for her and his boys. She was making him insane as she shut him from her mind. Did she know about him and his race? How could she do it. Richard told him that an alpha mate has stronger mind blocking than anyone else even if she's a human. His scouts received his daily foul mood. He announced to school that their Luna was carrying his pups and warned everyone to treat her with care.She used all her energy and time to their kids and school. It frustrates him even more. She was even civil to Alice. And the bitch was enjoying his frustration. When she was at home, she was with the kids or in the library.

    Rufus smile was inviting and thoughtful. He missed her so much. He wants his old Everleigh. He didn’t know how he survived for the past days without touching her.“I’m hungry,” she said. Her eyes told him that she was hungry for not only food. The heat from her body was making his body losing control.“I want to go shopping tomorrow,” she suddenly said and it made him laugh. “I will go with you, love, anything your want, I’ll get it and give them to you.”“I want you,”Rufus took a deep breath to calm himself. It was too sudden and he thought he was prepared. He wanted to devour her, that instant but he knew how hungry she was and he could give all she wanted but her well being was his top priority. He pulled a stool and helped her sit.Minutes later, he set chicken pasta and a salad brimming with vegetables in front of her and the food she was craving, pancakes with strawberry syrup. She was famished and demolished every bite.&

  • The Beloved Mate of Alpha Rufus   A Night of Decadence

    Rufus’ own personal slice of heaven. He speared her sex with his tongue, chocolate, champagne, and Everleigh’s natural taste a flavor that instantly hooked him. He longed to taste her like this in his feral form. Kneeling beside the couch, he lunged for her again, spreading her thighs wider with insistent hands and wedging his shoulders in between.As he tasted her again, Everleigh’s hips bucked as her body writhed. She cried out, and the sounds drove him up, higher. Closer to that place where he’d lose control. Another enticing taste of her, another laving of her clit.She gasped and fisted her hands in his hair. The sting on his scalp aroused the hell out of him. He grabbed the mousse from the table beside him and spooned more right onto the hot flesh of her folds with his fingers, then poured more of the champagne right over that distended bundle of nerves.Her breath caught, a jagged inhalation that thrilled him. Her nerves were

    Rufus found her inside his “hobby room.” No one could enter the room except for Whitton. She used her Luna status on him. He was nervous as hell. He can’t read her mind and he didn’t know if all her memories returned. She was standing near the window overlooking the forest.The door opened behind her. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and then turned to see Rufus standing there in the closed door.“Love?” There was concern and bewilderment in his voice. He took another step forward and stared at her. She flinched and turned away, not wanting him to see what she was sure was obvious on her face. But how could she hide it? How could she hide how devastated she was? She knew he could read her mind.“What’s wrong, love? What are you doing in this room?”She swallowed, squared her shoulders and then took a deep breath. She turned to face him fully, uncaring of what he’d see. She recalled th

    Everleigh moved forward to the swivel chair. She can’t stand like this if she want to reminisce her awful past.“I want you to go inside my mind and feel the pain.” Before she closed her eyes, she saw how pale Rufus was.“What are you doing here?” she demanded, standing. Even in her high-heeled sandals, she couldn’t equal Lander’s height, but she wasn’t about to give him the psychological advantage of letting him tower over her sitting form. She was in her study room. Still, Lander was a bruiser even if he is a pure human, at least six-one, probably a good two hundred fifty pounds of muscle. Young and drunk and horny. And she’d left her purse with her pepper spray in her bedroom near her study room. Calm. Reason with him. Lander just laughed and started shucking his shirt. He looked at her with a lascivious violence that made her flesh crawl. “Getting some of that ass you’re constantly flashing in front of us. You’re always letting Rujan put his hands on you, and I know you’re put

    “How is she?” he asked, his voice almost a croak.Castro stared at him a moment, his brow furrowed.“I’m sorry alpha, but she needed rest. I don’t think your presence would…”“I know…, I…I just wanted her to rest and I’ve been so worried. I didn’t want to put additional stress on her.”Castro’s expression softened. “She’s sleeping. Quite soundly. She never even moved when I checked her vitals. Let her rest. She’s been through hell. Her memories made her emotional and unstable."Rufus nodded and murmured his thanks. He wiped nervous palms down his pant legs as Castro hurried away and then he tentatively opened the door, careful to not make a sound. If she was asleep, then she’d never know he was here.He could watch her for a while and know that she was safe. He eased the door open farther and stepped inside, his gaze immediately seeking her out in the semi darkened room.She was lying on a narrow bed with her back elevated. She

    "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

"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
