Nikolai Once we were in our bedroom, I kicked the door shut. She turned to glare at me. "Go on. Justify Max ignoring Natalia's safeword." "Nothing is happening without her consent. She was fake-safewording. It was a part of our plan. You would have known that, but you told me you wanted to stay out of it. You haven't attended a single meeting on it. I respect your decision, but I will not tolerate your violent, abusive behaviour." "I thought Max was being abusive...." she said, her voice low. "Do you honestly believe he would knowingly ever do anything to hurt Natalia?" I couldn't believe she would think that. She shook her head, looking down. "We wanted to show Emilio that Max was a crazy asshole. What better way to do that than making him think that Max was out of his mind even when it came to his beloved?" She pressed her lips together and turned away from me. I could sense that she was deep in thought. "I want to fight in the war, Nikolai," she said, surprising me. "You
Nikolai "Do you think they forgave me?" Ava asked nervously. "Yes," I assured her. "When you wake up tomorrow, it will be as if nothing happened. Don't worry about it." "I'm scared of losing my temper again," she admitted. I could feel that she really was terrified of hurting our family again. "Good. That will help you stay in control. And if anything happens, remember that I'm always here for you, Love." I drew her close and kissed her forehead. She let out a little sigh, feeling better about it. "How is your ass now?" I asked. "Better," she said. I decided to check for myself. I pulled her dress over her head and turned her around so I could see her ass. The red had already faded to light pink. I caressed it. It didn't seem sore. I hmmed. It was indeed better. "You still need to give me the rest of the punishment," she whispered. "I do." I agreed and then started stripping out of my clothes. "Really?" Her eyes widened when she saw me undoing my belt. She thought that I was
Nikolai All the lights of the packhouse were lit and it looked grander than ever. I heard murmurs saying 'he's here', 'Alpha's here', 'get ready'. My curiosity rose as I walked into the living room. The lady in red caught my attention. In fact, she was the only one who had my attention. And I, hers. She gave me a dazzling, pearly-white smile that made her dimples pop and I swear my heart stopped. I took long steps to cover the distance between us. I took her hand, and twirled her around herself, making her dress swoosh. I snaked my arm around her waist and dipped her as I gave her a sweet kiss. "Wow, that was hot." I heard a girl say and then someone hooted. Grinning, I pulled Ava to her feet. "You look beautiful." A blush rose to her cheeks as she smiled shyly at me, her big, doe-shaped eyes melting my heart. "Y-you too." I heard some chuckles and my smile widened. "And that, kids, is how you make your lady speechless." I looked at all the teenagers that surrounded us and gave
Avalyn Dimitri, Andrei, and Mikhail made it back home late in the afternoon. According to Nik, they never came back home after the party. They stayed at the packhouse and came the next morning after the 'after-party cleaning situation' was taken care of. He looked amused when he said that, almost as if even he didn't believe what he was saying. Both of us knew better than to think that they stayed back to help clean everything up. They most likely stayed back to spend the night with someone. The good thing was that they brought Tessa back with them. I empathized with her and I wanted her to be happy again. I showed her to the slave quarters and gave her a room of her own. She was the same size as Irina so I got her a couple of clothes until she could go shopping. "Thank you, Mistress." She lowered her eyes. "You're welcome." I smiled. "Now I know that you have not been a slave for very long so no need to be scared of punishments. You won't be punished for something you didn't know
Nikolai The next couple of days flew by in a blur. All we did was go over the plan and train for the fight. But what was more important was our performance in Max's club, which was happening today. We had discussed all the details thoroughly about how we were going to do everything and had even rehearsed it a couple of times. But we had to steer the conversation in a very careful way and I had to maintain my temper even if Gonzalez talked smack about Ava. It was going to be a hell of a day. "Please be safe." Ava helped me put on my suit jacket. "Of course." I pecked her lips. "Stop worrying so much, Lyubov. Our men have the entire place covered." "I can never not worry about you." Stress lines marred her forehead. While the last two days had been very busy for me, they were extremely stressful for her. I massaged the lines off her forehead. "Then trust me to keep myself safe, so that I can come back to you. I made a promise to you, remember?" "I do trust you." She kissed me again
Avalyn The slamming of the bedroom door woke me up. And then a set of lips were on me. I relaxed and kissed him back eagerly when I realized it was Nikolai. His hands were frantic as he touched, grabbed, and squeezed my entire body, as if he was making sure that I was actually there. He ripped my nightdress apart and trailed open-mouthed kisses down my neck. A loud moan left my mouth when he kissed my mark. He left kisses between the valley of my breasts, squeezing them, and then came back up for more kisses. I started writhing in pleasure. I had just woken up, but I wasn't sleepy at all anymore. I wanted Nik. Almost as desperately as he wanted me. My entire back arched off the bed when he suddenly slammed inside me. "Nikolai," I cried out. His intensity was maddening. My entire body was on fire as he pumped into me with wild abandonment. Almost like he needed to bask in my warmth or he would lose himself. No, scratch that, he wanted to lose himself. In me. "Ya lyublyu tebya. Bo
Maximilian "Looks perfect, doesn't it?" I asked as I stared at her ass and thighs in the mirror. Talia had her front pressed to me and she turned her head around to look at her backside in the mirror. Her hand raised to touch the beautiful marks on her ass. Her finger touched it and she flinched a little before a smile formed on her face. "Perfect. Thanks," she said and kissed my jaw. A smirk formed on my face as I gripped her ass, feeling the hot welts, bruises, and wounds under the palm of my hand. She rose to her toes and her head rolled back. She moaned, "Fuck." "Aphrodisiac," I lowered my head and buried my face in her neck, taking her scent in and trying hard to control myself from taking her right there, right then. The entirety of her ass and thighs were marked, not a single spot remained where smooth skin could be seen. Normally, after hurting her, we had sex for the next couple of hours. We were insatiable. But we couldn't at that moment because it was a 'punishment'. A
Avalyn The next few days flew by in a blur. All we did was train and plan minute details. We made it a point to practice with the vampires so that we fought like a team. Nik was more stressed than I had ever seen him. In fact, I hardly saw him after our little date. He was the busiest of all. He was training with everyone and making sure that they were doing their best. He took turns explaining the plan to every group in detail to make sure there was no doubt or confusion. He also looked over the manufacture of weapons that we were going to use. We had ordered guns, but wooden bullets had to be carved out of wood. Only then would it kill a supernatural. I took care of lodging the people who weren't going to fight. There were about thirty of them. Keeping them all in a single place was also risky, which was why I had them scattered strategically. That way, no one would know where they were, but at least one group of the pack was near them to defend or rescue them if needed. Max had
