I’ve been in the garden now for hours. The cold air is starting to nip at my nose. Time to go back in there.
I walk towards the house, wondering if Lorcan is going to find me anytime today.
Why do I even care?
As I near the building, I notice Lorcan through one of the lower windows.
That must be his office, but who are those people inside with him?
My heart starts thumping hard in my chest. My veins begin to pound, and my canines begin to slide out of my gums.
Who the fuck is the whore in Lorcan’s arms?
And why it is bothering me so much?
Possibly because if he does anything with her, even a kiss, I’ll feel it. I’ve heard how painful that can be, feeling everything your mate does wit
I cry to myself, thinking about Mason and how he’d never hurt me the way Lorcan does. I miss Mason so much; I want to go home and feel his arms around me, keeping me safe.Not once in my life have I ever feared Mason and what he might do to me. Sure, I’ve angered him more than once, but he’s never hit me. Mason argues back, but he never wins because I don’t stop until he gives up and walks away.That’s just who I am. I’m dominant and pushy, but do I deserve to be beaten for doing something that comes naturally?Mason and I knew we weren’t mates, but we loved each other. We spoke about what would happen if either of us found our mates. Mason and I knew it would hurt, but we’d let each other go because the pull of the mate bond should not be fought.We also swore that we’d always b
“Wow,” Luther sits back in his chair and rakes his fingers through his long hair.I just got done telling my brother’s and their mates about Gianna. Needless to say, they’re all shocked, even they didn’t believe I’d find my mate. Not this soon, at least.My office is a big room. Victorian architecture gives the place that old-fashioned feeling. It must be the vampire in me, but modern-day architecture doesn’t do it for me. However, I’d be a liar if I didn’t have modern furnishings.Leander and Sara are sitting on the plush sofa near the open fire. Their fourteen-month-old son, Drew, is sleeping in his mother’s arms.Luther and Jenna are sitting in the two chairs in front of my desk. Of course, I’m behind the desk, telling them everything.
“Who the hell is Mason?”I scream while spinning on the spot. I didn’t hear Lorcan enter the room, but I figure he must have been standing outside the door while I spoke to Mason.Great.“Lorcan,” I swallow hard while taking a step back in fear.I’ve had enough beatings for one day. I don’t think I could handle anymore.“Who is he, Gia?”I back away even more as Lorcan steps towards me. The back of my legs hit the bed, and I fall on my arse with a gasp.“Please, Lorcan,”“Answer me!” He bellows so loudly that I cringe.“He’s my boyfriend.”Lorcan gra
I don’t think I’ve ever been so uncomfortable in my entire life. When Lorcan brought me into the living room where his family were waiting, I didn’t know where to look.I wasn’t sure if Jenna, as Lorcan introduced her, would forgive me. However, she accepted my apology with a smile on her face.Of course, I know who Luther and Leander are; everyone in the Kingdom knows them. Though I couldn’t tell them apart, they both, along with Lorcan, are identical in almost every way. Everything from their shoulder-length dark hair to their blue eyes and toned muscles.I hadn’t realised three people could look so similar, which makes me even more stupid for not recognising Lorcan upon first meeting him.I imagine Lorcan, Luther, and Leander’s personalities are very different. Plus, Lorcan has tattoos, e
I couldn’t believe my brothers would accuse me of rape!Of all the things, it had to be that.I’ll admit that I was a little rough with Gianna that day, but she wanted what I offered. Had she told meno, I would have backed off. I’m a monster, but I’m no rapist.Gianna is my mate, and if I want her, then I’ll take her, simple!Both Luther and Leander gave me hell. Nothing I said made any difference to what they believed to be true.I wanted to smack both of them in the face, break their jaws or necks. Either would have been fine!I know my brothers don’t think well of me, and why would they when I’ve never
I flip Gianna onto her back and smirk while spreading her legs. I slide a finger over her folds, groaning at how wet she is for me. She shudders and bites her lower lip, and I smirk to see her watching me.“You like that, little wolf?”She nods her head, though I can tell that she wants to tell me to go to hell.The thought makes me chuckle.I grab her face in my hand, and her breathing hitches. Metally, Gianna might fight me, but she can’t deny that her body craves my touch. I don’t give a shit if it’s nothing more than the mate bond; she belongs to me!I slide my thumb over her lower lip, and I can’t resist the urge to kiss her, so I do. Our tongues battle for dominance, and Gianna moans into my mouth, causing my cock to stiffen further.
I sit on the edge of the bed with my head hanging down. I’ve just showered and changed into jeans and a t-shirt.After Lorcan punished me through sex for not behaving as he wanted, I felt deflated. I don’t want to like what he does to me, but I can’t help it. My body defies my mind, and I hate myself.I feel so used and dirty, but not at the same time. I am so confused, and I can’t stop the tears from falling from my eyes.‘Things aren’t as bad as they seem, Gianna. I know that you’re confused about these sexual encounters with Lorcan. But if you said no and meant it, I don’t doubt that Lorcan would stop.’I sniff back my emotions.‘I believe that too, Lyra. I’ve just never been with anyone who is as demanding in the bedroom as Lorcan.
“Just kill me,”The rogue strapped to my electric chair in the basement mumbles.The filthy fucker can’t speak any louder because he’s in too much pain.I don’t tolerate rogues of any kind on my territory, especially one’s who think they can take my mate!This piece of shit, Carl Masters, walked onto my territory with a gun filled with silver bullets. He intended to kill Gianna.The wolves should not have descended this quickly!Of course, my enemies are out for blood, and what better way to get to The Bloody Alpha than take his mate?If I hadn’t marked Gianna, I wouldn’t die if she did. However, I did mark her, and my natural wolf instinct is to protect the girl from outside threats.
