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
Mikhail I ran hard to my position, which was at the very south of the pack. The trees there were scarcer than at the other borders so it was a bit challenging, but we lived for a good challenge. Finding the tallest tree, I stealthily climbed to the top. I nodded at Clark, who was on the branch beside mine. 'Everyone in your positions?' I mind-linked my team of fifty wolves. 'Yes,' everyone replied together in a single word. I looked at my watch. 11:53. Now, it was time to wait. "The Montana Pack has about five hundred wolves who can fight. We only have one hundred and fifty. We cannot fight them all at once and win. But we do have a chance if we fight just half of them at a time. Max, I want you to get Gonzalez to bring in two hundred and fifty wolves to attack," Alpha had told Max as we gathered in the conference room. He was finally going to tell us what the war strategy was going to be. "Tell him we are a hundred and fifty wolves and I have asked for about fifty vampires from V
Avalyn Nik and I stood on the terrace of the house as we looked at the peaceful ocean. The moon cast a beautiful reflection of itself on the dark sea. Cold winds blew and I shivered. I zipped up my jacket. The waves slowly increased and I caught the sight of a boat. My breath hitched. They had arrived. "The last group of fifty enemies is going to attack our house. They will come through the sea on rowboats so no noise is made to alert anybody. Those fifty men will be divided into groups of two. The first group will have thirty men and the second group will have twenty men," Nikolai had said. "You two," Nikolai had looked at Max and Natalia, "along with Gonzalez and his most loyal and trusted men will come in the second group. The house has three automated snipers on the roof and can shoot three bullets at a time before it takes a break of fifteen seconds to reload and shoot again. Those thirty men will be a suicide squad. They will go to the operating room and turn off the power fo
