Kane
My eyes widen in surprise. I didn't expect Selena to react like this, not in a million years.
But the surprise fades, and I grin at her as I approach the bed, "Your wish is my command, my lady. You've just signed up for the entire mating heat and many more to come."
Now, it's my turn to wiggle my eyebrows, slightly mocking Selena.
She laughs and stretches her limbs. I'm pretty sure Selena has forgotten that she's still completely naked.
I can't take my eyes off her- I take in each shape, every curve, and admire the perfection of her body. I've always known that curvy women are beautiful, but I never thought I'd be blessed with o
Kane As usual, I don't bother to knock but kick open the damn door. The sound startles Amon, and he jumps away from my mother. Something tells me that the son of a bitch was about to hit her. "Kane," my mother sighs, relief spreading across her face. "You wanted to talk. I'm here, so talk." I lean against the doorframe. I ran through the rain, so at this point, a puddle forms at my feet. "Let's go to the office; I don't want to discuss private matters here. Let me get you a towel and some clothes." Mother doesn't give me time to react to her words and runs up the stairs. Amon gives me a hateful glance but leaves without another r
Selena The apartment door opens, and I immediately hide under the bed. I have no idea why the instinct to hide kicks in, but I'm rather happy it exists. Since I'm mated to Kane, it puts me in some danger; that's a proven fact. Someone is walking around the room, constantly looking for something. At first, the person might have said something, but the chaos and fear in my head make it impossible to understand a word. I want to get out of my hiding spot, but I'm too scared. On the other hand, what if it's Kane and I'm just being paranoid? He usually calls for me when he comes home, so maybe it isn't him. As the footstep
Selena I open and close my mouth as I watch Kane's eyes change colour again. It seems like he's losing control as they turn back to pitch-black in less than a second. This must be the beast that lives inside him. "For the last time. Explain, now." He snaps. Even though I don't face Kane anymore, I muster up the courage to yell, "I don't have to explain anything!" "Oh, yes, you do, darling. You see, I don't take lies kindly. Now, while I'm still able to control myself, be a good girl, and explain where your accusations are coming from." He presses himself so tightly against me that I can hardly breathe. "I felt it, you cheat
SelenaI break the kiss, panting for breath. He holds me tight to his body as if he's afraid to let go.I look into his eyes and try my best to remember the beast's name. "Onyx, could you give Kane the control? I get it; you want to spend some time with me, but I need to talk to him.""Anything for you, mate," the beast growls, and a moment later, the hands around my waist don't hold me as tightly anymore. There is a huge difference between Kane and his beast- Kane's way more gentle."Are you tired?" Kane whispers as he traces feather-light kisses down my neck."A little," my voice sounds hoarse as I tilt my head to give him more access.&n
Kane "How could you? Shouldn't you ask for my consent before you sink your teeth into my skin?" Selena attempts to push me away as her fists collide with my chest. I remain silent; it's not like I have an answer. I did what I did, and now, it's too late to change anything. And even if I suddenly felt remorse, I still couldn't change anything. Well, perhaps I feel a bit of regret because I gave in and acted on pure instinct. Selena doesn't know this, but sometimes doing something without her consent can have negative consequences. Lord, I hope that won't be the case. "Calm down; it's done anyway," I say, leaning closer to her. Maybe being close will make her feel better. I don't know anymore
Kane "You didn't intend to do that, but I feel used. You fucked me like you were fucking a bitch and then peeled yourself away from me like I'm toxic." Selena's eyes finally travel up to meet mine in the reflection of the mirror. I can't describe the things I'm feeling now. The regret of what I have done and the awareness that I hurt my mate tear me apart. But it's not about me, and it never would be. It's all about Selena and her feelings. "I'm so sorry, I lost control and took you as if you were a wolf, which, of course, you aren't. I was horrified when I realised what I was doing. That's why I got away from you so suddenly. I'm so damn sorry, Selena. Are you hurt or in pain? Did I hurt you inside? Maybe you need a doctor? I can call one right now; he, no
Kane"It's time to wake up, love," I open the bedroom curtains.My eyes sweep the horizon- Selena and I have spent the last two weeks of the heat in the apartment. I left only when necessary to get groceries or meet with the Keeper to discuss the possible position I might take.I'm still not sure if I want to be a King. While I took care of everything, Selena preferred to stay indoors.She would call her family or talk to my mother for hours when I left. That's another concern- I'm not sure if the change in my mother is real or if this is another step toward a brand new, sick idea of how to sabotage my happiness."Five more minutes,"
KaneDespite her pleas to let her go alone, I decide to drive her to the packhouse to ensure Selena's safety. No matter how much time we spend together or how close we get, I can't let her go.I've learned to trust Selena, but I can't say the same thing about my mother. Not even close. And I still need to learn how to trust the pack members who live under my mother's roof.The heat season is over, and everyone's getting back into the swing of things, but I still can't be absolutely sure of that yet either. All I want to do is protect Selena and keep her safe until I'm sure there's no danger to her life."I know the way to the packhouse; it wouldn't bother me if I had to walk, you know. Besides, you have an imp
Kane povSelena's eyes focus on me as she bites her lower lip and parts her legs, exposing her dripping sex to my gaze. I growl and lower myself onto her. With the first stroke of my tongue, Selena tries to squeeze her thighs back together.Another low grown leaves me, warning her to stop defying me. I drop to my knees next to the bed and grab Selena's hips to pull her closer to my mouth. I hold her thighs roughly, keeping them apart as I feast on her juices like a desperate, hungry animal.I lick, suck and nip on her as Selena moans out my name. She cries out in shock as I move my lips lower, thrusting my tongue inside her.I fight a smile as I notice her gripping the bedsheets, digging her nails deep enough to
Kane povShe lets out a shaky breath, and once again, I grip on my chance like a fool. "I can feel your heart pounding, fuck it, I can hear it, Selena. You want me just as much as I want you." I let my hand sneak under her shirt, gently stroking her heated skin, slowly tracing it up to her breast. As soon as I cup it, a deep, low growl forms in my chest.If it's possible, I manage to pull Selena closer to me and force my erect cock against her ass to show her just how much I want her. Selena gulps, louder than ever, and to my surprise, nods her head- admitting that the lust, need, and passion I feel isn't one-sided after all."I want you," Selena whispers as if the nod wasn't reassuring enough."Tr
Kane povTwo months. Two months side by side with Selena and our sons. I can't believe that it's been so long since the day we cried in the hospital hall, as hopeful about our future as ever.Thankfully, some things did go as planned- the Council withdrew their curious gazes from our Kingdom, and my mother, well, there's no mother anymore. It hurt, but I made my choice, prioritised those who genuinely care for me, and got rid of the problem in its roots.Now, we can let out a breath of relief without any worries or fears about what our tomorrow might bring.Our boys are as healthy as they can be. Surely, Selena insisted that Kaven gets some professional help, and other than the resistance to open u
Selena pov "Daddy's here!" The boys scream out to me as if I weren't the one who left the room to ask Kane back. My cheeks are still tear-stained, especially after the emotional conversation. Explaining to two toddlers how life works shouldn't be as easy as it seemed a few minutes ago. I know that both of my, no- our, boys love me beyond measure when they still listen so eagerly to what I have to say. I told them the things I shouldn't have kept from them. It's unfair that these two wonderful boys spent most of their lives worrying that the day they would meet their father wouldn't come. Kaven and Knight deserve to know and love Kane as much as I do.&nb
Kane povI had to hold Selena for about an hour while Knight and Cody gave us much needed privacy. It wasn't more about us or our needs than it was about our little boy. We can't show weakness and fear if we want Knight to take this mess as lightly as possible."I... What's going to happen to our son, Kane? How are we supposed to live and smile when he has to deal with something like this? A- and it's all because of me. If only I hadn't made this decision, if only I hadn't acted like a complete moron. My God..." Tears stream down Selena's cheeks as I force my finger in front of her lips to stop the pointless rant.I get it; she's hurt and scared, but so am I. Still, I can't let her blame herself for every obstacle that comes our way; I just can't.&
Selena povKane doesn't get to mutter 'one' as the door flies open, startling me. The sudden noise doesn't faze him. Now I know the countdown was intentional and not just a joke on his part.I hear several footsteps entering the room, but one of them sounds like it doesn't fit here. I can't see who has joined us because Kane is sitting in front of me, shielding me from the gaze of the others.After all this time, though he has all rights to be pissed at me, Kane's still the same protective, loving man who chose me as his mate. I wouldn't change it for the whole world."Mommy!" A familiar voice shouts.Kane stands up, far too slowly for my liking
Cody povI pace back and forth in the hospital hallway, waiting for Kane's figure to appear right around the corner, that smug smile plastered on his lips- as per usual.However, no matter how many times I tell myself he's about to arrive, time drags by like a snail, and my patience is wearing thin."God damn it, Kane, what's taking you so long?" I hiss under my breath, checking my watch for the millionth time.If I don't see that smug asshole walk into this hospital within five minutes, I'm going after him.In the meantime, the doctors are performing surgery on Kaven- they're trying to fix the little guy's face. Apparently, those si
KaneWe reach the location and sit down near the massive door that separates us from the leftover Guardians.No matter how many of them are hidden there, I'll walk around each grave and place the explosives myself. And I won't leave until I'm sure none of those bastards are left.But for now, my men need rest before we get to work blowing this place into oblivion."King?" Someone appears beside me and hands me a bottle of water.I nod my head and gulp down the liquid. Although we didn't have to travel too far out of the Kingdom's territory, the journey was a bit tiring.My g
Selena povI can't move, as if some invisible force is holding me down and pushing me deeper into the abyss of darkness. I can't wrap my mind around the feeling. I can feel it when someone touches me, but I can't feel my body, and at the same time- I feel nothing but pain. How could this ever make any sense?I hear voices, some of them familiar, others less so.The last thing I remember is heading to the town for a job interview. Did it go successfully, or did I fail? No, that's not important.All that matters is where I am, who I am with, and where my boys are. God, sometimes I hate being human. There are those moments when I feel like I have no control over my life.
