The sentence circled around in my mind a couple of times while they started bickering over my head. Information circled, went right through, and came back for a new round. All the while, I stood there, like I was rebooting, and finally, it hit me: why this sounded wrong, what I didn’t understand. Not bothering with addressing Seb´s and my father’s angry word feud, I cut them both right off, “Brothers? What do you mean, brothers?” They both shut up and looked at me like they suddenly realized I was still there. However, nobody said a word, just stared at it. My father with an open mouth and an expression I could not read. Seb at least had the audacity to look away; I'm not sure why, but right now, it didn’t really matter. I held my father's gaze and repeated, “What do you mean, her brothers? And family? “ In the corner of my eyes, I saw Lydia moving behind my father, barely registering the smile on her face. But for what? How could she have brothers and family here? I thought I had
I really wished I had a mirror. Taking deep breaths, I tried to calm myself; I’m not sure why, but for some reason, I thought I had more time before these guests arrived. I loved the braided hair; I'm not going to lie; even the paintings on my face, shoulder, neck, and arms gave me a strange sensation of power and charisma. I felt like a mighty warrior princess from one of those Viking god movies or something. Empowered and mythical, well, all until I put this so-called dress on. The leather itself was soft and lovely; no doubt someone put a lot of effort into it. Not one stitch was out of place; not a single spot carried any evidence of harm or tear. The edges around my neck, cleavage, and shoulders had a super soft, white fur attached to them. And I mean, it is really white, like a newborn rabbit. But it also made me feel like a whore. The dress was skintight around my waist, pressed around my chest, and barely covered my ass on one side, sliding down across on the other, and Luck
"I do agree, and you two went too far!" My father tried his best to meddle, agreeing with me without dismissing his guests and his future Mate`s family. The twins didn’t seem to be bothered at all; if anything, they looked like they were entertained just the way they liked. That alone made me even more irritated. So while I was fuming, the twin brothers on the verge of busting out in laughter, my father stressed between us, face flustered and sweaty. Lydia was the only one who looked mortified by the whole situation; why, I had no idea. From the way I see it, she is the only one here that doesn’t have a shit to do about this situation at all. "No, they did not! Your daughter is behaving all wrong!" My head jerked in Lydia´s direction. I was not sure if I had heard her wrong or if she was really that narrow-sighted. "Remember, this is new to her, and it is not wrong! She, or even I, never gave them the right to touch her in any way!" "Well, I did! And as your mate and Luna, I woul
Maya`s POV. The salty wind had picked up and whipped against my cheeks. But I loved it. It made me feel so free and light. I cast a glance over at Arcane, bickering with one of Tew`s older guards. Despite the insulting name-calling here and there, their smile was never far away. My eyes glided back towards the open ocean and took in the descending sun, bathing its warm sun rays in the cold water. It`s been a couple of days since I saw him shift since I saw his massive beast. We talked some more after, of course, because his shifting didn't tell me what he clearly expected. Yes, I saw he was a bear, not a wolf like the others I`ve seen so far, but I didn't see what made him so different. I`ve heard there are werebears, cats, and even Lion shifters on this planet, so I thought his animal would be pretty standard. It didn't really matter, I learned something new, and I`ve almost forgiven both him and his teddy for knocking me over and for pushing his snout so far up between my legs
Out of breath, flustered, and still a bit shocked, I tried to calm my raging heart down.He has never been so rough and direct. Don’t get me wrong, I think I loved this side of him, but I didn’t understand the sudden change, and on top of it all, he claims I am the one who has changed. His warm body is still flush against my back, his hammering heart matching mine on my back. A light tickling sensation over my collarbone snapped me out of my hazed sex fog, and I smacked it out of reflex, expecting a mosquito or something. Instead, something splattered between my fingers drops splashed against my cheek; taken aback, I lifted my hand up and looked at it. My eyes widened, and my hand frantically returned to my shoulder and sticky skin. Blood. The sound that left my throat was new for me, a strange mixture of fear, shock, and utter disbelief mixed in with the surprised gasp. I began to wiggle my shoulders, trying to get Arcane off my back, still staring at my bloody fingers. My pulse did
* Smack! * The back of my hand slammed into his chest, and I rolled my eyes at his dramatic performance. He was gasping for air and pretending to be hurt. “Stop that!” “I can’t help it!” “Yes, you can! Growling at every creature with a dick is getting tiring!” He scoffed, “ I’m not! Just the ones that st..” I cut him off because I’ve heard this sentence repeatedly in the last couple of days. “No, it’s not just the ones staring! Stop kidding yourself. That poor guy didn’t even have time to turn around before you acted like a rabid dog! And NO, it’s not sweet, cool, or anything like it at all. If you can’t stop, I need to get you a tight collar or a spray bottle... Maybe even call Cesar Milan.” Muttering the last part, knowing he had no idea who that was, and even then, a loud growl cut the air between us. “Cesar? Who is he? A human? Should I expect to fight him for your attention?" I sighed and walked away; after a few seconds, he hurried up behind me and continued to press
Tears, gasping for air, and stuttering the words out, almost yelling every single word because each time I was afraid, my voice would fail me, or my voice would break. Images that were taken straight out of a destructive alien movie from the 80s played in my head, and it was now involving a giant hairy baby with massive claws and canines and my limp, bloody body. "My silly little human, none of that will happen. I am sorry, sweet plum." He sat on the floor with me, cradling me on his lap while stroking my hair repeatedly. "It’s just a little baby. No claws, canines, or fur in places you don’t want them. Your body is perfect for me and my cubs. So, breathe, it will be fine. You are safe; I will always make sure you are—both of you. There is nothing to worry about; it is just positive. If you think of it, you will get to meet the little cub sooner. Instead of 9 months, you only need to wait five months." I could hear, through my snotty, sobbing cloud, that he tried to make the mood l
Eir´s POV. “Oh, please.” Lydia managed to add her eye rolling perfectly into the tone of her voice before continuing, “We all know you know nothing about this world! You have no idea how to survive here alone! When your flying lizard crush leaves you here, you are all alone and without any remarkable skills to give you any advantage at all. So, stop acting like I am the freaking lousy guy! “ She screeched, still defending herself and trying to put the blame on me after a long, heated yelling session that had finally calmed down. Her cheeks had red-stained spots, like the warm spots spreading on mine, as the temperature between us had been blazing for a couple of minutes. Just looking at her made my anger reach a boiling point in my chest, my hands clenched so hard that my nails dug into my palms. Lydia had the freaking nerve to look as angry and wronged as me. “Ladies, ladies... Little Fly-fly, Little wolfy. Let us take a break and cool down.” “A break?!” I didn’t even try to ho
