Kane
Thaddeus, I think that was his name, approaches us. A smirk spreads across his lips as he focuses on Diana. I look at her and notice that she's struggling to stay on her feet.
"Your wolf has recognised superiority, and you continue to fight it. Young lady, are you willing to accompany your daughter's journey?"
"What are you talking about?" Diana steps forward, trying to look intimidating.
"I'm just a gentleman offering to accompany your daughter in this bag." Thaddeus chuckles as he kicks the bag with Zara's body. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thaddeus; I am the last Keeper of the forbidden lands. Beside me stands the next heir to the throne- your next King," he says far too respectfully, es
Selena Luna won't let go of my hand, no matter what I say. Everything's fine until we approach the border and I freeze. "I won't step over it!" If I don't stand up for myself, no one will. Especially now, when I may have made the biggest mistake ever. "This is the old land of the cougars." I take another step back. "I've read about cougars; they are your natural enemies. Cats and dogs. Are you trying to commit suicide? Wait, if you are- you're not taking me with you. I don't want to die; I'm too young to die," I sound like a child, but at least I'm speaking my mind. "I'm not trying to commit suicide, nor trying to take you with m
KaneWe reach the packhouse faster than I expect.I need Selena; I just want to hold her, or at least know she's near. The need for her grows with each passing second, and it's driving me insane."I thought we'd never get here in one piece," Cody complains."I doubt I'll ever get back into a vehicle with the King behind the steering wheel." Thaddeus takes his side."Shut up, I'm here to deal with a pussy who claims to be a fucking Alpha, not deal with two whining kids," I roar at the duo and get out of the car."We'll stay here and wait," Cody pulls the Keeper closer to him.&nb
Selena We run back to the cabin. I try to keep up with her, but it's almost impossible. We reach the cabin and see a crowd of women and children surrounding it. Everyone gasps and exchanges whispers as soon as they notice us. "Luna, I knew it was your scent I caught!" One of the women rushes up to us and pulls her into a tight hug. "I didn't know there was anyone still roaming this land. Didn't you leave?" Her words are full of surprise, but I can see how happy she is to see the woman. "Some women decided to come back with children. You know how our men are." The stranger shrugged.
KaneI run back to the place where I left Cody and Thaddeus.I hope they left; it'd be better for them. I won't hold down Onyx; If one of them so much as looks at Selena, the lunatic will flip."Kane!" Selena grabs my shirt and tugs at it. Her breathing speeds up, her flesh burns, and she seems to be getting weaker."Hold on, kitten, I'll get you to safety; just hang in there." I kiss her forehead. A simple attempt to soothe her, but in response, she lets out a weak moan.I groan and increase my pace. If Selena continues to fight exhaustion to get to my skin or another moan leaves her lips, I won't blame myself for everything I'm abo
SelenaKane carries me to the bedroom. I break our kiss long enough to notice his eyes darken and his canines almost pierce his lips.Kane kicks off his shoes and rips off his shirt while I'm still clinging to his body."Undress if you don't want to see more torn fabrics scattered across the floor," Kane growls as he sets me back on my feet."I...""If you don't undress and get into the bed now, I will take you here, on the fucking floor. My control is all but gone; I can smell your arousal; your body is burning up. Remember, we're both struggling with the heat, and I'm not the most patient person when I have dessert right in front of my e
KaneMy 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
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.
