Elena's POVWe stumble into his room, our lips still fused but he breaks us apart so he could set me down and remove my heels. He took so much time caressing my feet- which was lovely but...All the while, I simply want to strain the extra inch and press and press my lips to his. I want to kiss him as hard as I can."Elena…" he pulls back just enough to peer into my eyes. "Are you sure?"I nod, giving him the go-ahead, not trusting myself enough to speak right now.His hands slide over my neck, then my shoulders. I can't pretend my flesh doesn't tingle beneath his touch. His fingers press into my skin when he can no longer hold back the desire. His need to claim me is just as strong as my need to be taken. It's like a veil has been lifted and I can see everything so clearly now.When his head darts forward and his mouth covers mine, I melt like ice under a flame, clawing at him like a wild animal. This is the only time I can feel calm when he's kissing me. When his hands roam my body
Elena's POVHe works the dress off my shoulders slowly, then he loses patience and yanks it off which makes me gasp softly as the tiny beads bounce and clatter on the floor. Pulling the upper part down my body, he buries his face between my breasts. The slight scruff of his beard prickles against my skin. The way he grunts while peppering kisses against my throat and collarbone as I grind against his thigh which is still wedged between my legs.How is it always like this?We're undeniably explosive together. It takes nothing for him to light the match and set my soul on fire. It was quite different from what I experienced with Zayn and Ethan. Every one of his kisses, and his touch makes me crave more. I can lose myself in him completely if I chose to and that's what I need the most right now. To get out of my head, stop thinking and second-guessing every decision. To lose myself and forget about everything else. Even if it's temporary."That's right." He mewls, panting before sliding
Ethan's POV I shifted mid-jump into human form and continued my stride, breaking free from the cover of the trees behind and approaching Zayn's back porch, dodging the front entrance because I didn't want to be seen and I didn't feel like entertaining someone's crap tonight all in the name of being civil.The way I felt currently, just one wrong look my way would have me snapping someone's neck into two.One of my spies had reported what he recently just found out in Valerian's Court, Alpha King of Red Sun Hill city. The abomination burned my ears. As he hastily whispered the information directly to me, for fear of getting caught by someone, rage summered in my veins and my wolf called for blood. Specifically the blood of that bastard who dared to think he can get on with such an act.For a moment, I felt the buffoon had been fed the wrong information until I confirmed it from another source whom I trusted What the hell was Elena thinking?She wasn't, that's for sure.I'd felt unbot
Elena’s POVHIS cock is deep inside me again. Then again, it seems like he always is, ever since that fateful day."Where did your mind go?" I looked up at Valerian as he stopped moving to look down at me with a knowing look on his face. I can't deny sometimes I feel guilty and uncomfortable even though that's not his fault, it's mine.Before I could give him a plausible answer, he grips my cheeks hard and plunges his tongue deep into my mouth, sucking my lower lip and playing with my tongue."Don't worry about them, allow them to ruin what we have. Don't allow them to control or own you, even from afar," tells me, pausing the kiss like he knows exactly what I'm thinking. Seeing as we are connected, he does."Do you hear me?" He says softly, looking at me, his hips stilling. The way he looked at me belied the words he'd just spoken, and the butterfly wing feel of his lips, when they touched mine, brought tears to my eyes, making me feel silly for overthinking when I had this amazing m
Elena's POVI was still in shock over what happened yesterday, immediately the woman realized what happened. She quickly ushered everyone out and spoke to them about hopefully keeping their mouths shut about what happened.I got to find out that her name was Sophia, and one of Valerian's top security team members was a very skilled shifter. She was quite older too. After consulting Valerian and Andromeda, who I was getting to learn was a fountain of knowledge when it came to things like this, we learned that I was a Healer. An extremely rare breed of female wolf shifters said to be direct descendants or blessed by the Fates with the power to heal any fatal wound.Since I was an Omega, the ability had laid dormant in me since I was born but was always present. When Valerian fed me with his life force, it activated my ability. It was in my lineage as my grandmother had the ability but it skipped a generation- my mother- and landed on me.I was warned to be very careful with my ability
Elena's POVSOPHIA understood what I was going to do and she shook her head in defeat, moaning."No, no, no. Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have told you!." she shook her head about like a Barbie doll."Even if you hadn't, I would have found out. Where are they held?"She bit her lip to stop herself from telling me more, but I just folded my hands, an eyebrow arched until she spilled."We might have an idea but it is not solid yet. Why?""An idea just popped into my head right now"Look, there's got to be another way so you don't have to do this. Valerian's gonna kill me!" She hissed."He's not going to know.""I find it hard to believe he's not going to know his wife is missing." she eyed me disbelievingly."That's not what I mean, and you know it." She was still angry and a little bit headstrong so I grabbed her hands, forcing her to look at me, really look at me while I pleaded with her. "I can't just do nothing while innocent people are being hurt in this tussle between us and my mat
Valerian's POVI WAS neck-deep in confusion. The attacks were just coming back and forth so much that I couldn't step away from the command room for even a second. Only to catch a few hours of sleep and recharge.Even as I spoke, I had to strain to keep my eyes open."What do you have?" I spoke to the man right beside me, one that Jared had entrusted to me in his absence, promising me he would deliver a good job. I knew I remembered his name but my sleep-deprived brain couldn't be bothered to dig it out."Okay sir…" he trailed off, tapping a large tablet in his hands before sliding it over to me. "We have noticed that the attacks are concentrated on one part of the city. The part that is weak in security and structure, and I have also noticed that they haven't deviated from that consecutive attacks." He explains while I make sense of what he's showing me.I stopped the tablet with a finger, bringing it closer while I inspected it. Several red circles indicated spots that I knew had b
Ruby's POV My heels sunk into the ground for the third time, and I grunted in annoyance digging it out of the ground and bypassing that spot. Huh, I thought I had seen it earlier. Urgh, my favorite shoes might be ruined right now. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have worn heels out into the forest. Not like I had a choice to change into something simpler, that idiot had kept on ringing my line to pass me a piece of important information. I just sighed internally thinking back to that saying, "If you want something done well, do it yourself." Damn right! The fools I'd hire to follow Elena and capture her, then deliver her straight into the hands of Zayn and Ethan Incase she had another option, couldn't even carry out such a simple task. Thankfully instead of taking her right underneath Valerian's nose, she made it easier for me by sneaking out of the house as the proverbial lamb, or should I say wolf. Ha! "Are we there yet?" Her nasally, whiny voice was screeching down my skull lik
