Twenty-three: Nora Connolly She hadn’t been trapped for very long. But with all of Mordred’s talk about trying to marry her off, she didn’t like the idea of being left alone. She didn’t know who she could trust anymore. What she did know was that Roman was her mate. The future Alpha. And powerful enough to keep anyone at bay that might try and hurt her. That was what Nora needed. She had always run whenever she was in danger before. But for the first time in her life, there was someone to keep her safe. That was important. They managed to carry the statue of Winter into The Stellarum. When they finally got inside, to Roman’s room, the two stood there staring at each other. “Are you okay?” Roman asked. “I’m sorry. I never should have taken you there.” Nora sighed. “I’m fine. I just…you know for a second, when Mordred said that he was my grandfather, I thought maybe I could actually have a family again. But he showed his true colors quickly and I knew that there was no point
Twenty-fourRoman Eliot“What did you do to her?” Aion asked when Nora had left.Roman furrowed his brows together. “What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about Nora,” he said, “she looked very bothered about something. And by that, I mean hot and bothered.”Roman growled. “Never use the phrase ‘hot and bothered’ in reference to my Luna. Alright?”Aion chuckled. “Fine, only making an observation.”He smirked. “I didn’t do anything to her. Only, I let her make the choice about whether or not we were going to have sex. And then she got very flustered and left.”Aion smirked. “You’re evil.”He shrugged. “I’m only doing what a mature, responsible young man should do before having sexual relations. Asking for consent.”“You’re still evil,” Aion said.Roman then noticed bite marks on Aion’s neck. He raised an eyebrow. “Did Lucy stay? You know she’s always welcome here.”Aion rolled his eyes. “No, she’s not welcome here. The rest of the pack have made that very clear by the several times
Twenty-five Nora Connolly What was she doing? Why was she there? She shouldn’t have turned around. Only, if she were completely honest, she couldn’t remember her way back to her own room. Because all she had been able to think about was Roman. Roman, and how he was being an impossible gentleman, and how she didn’t want him to be anything but that. She wanted him to…. “Woah there!” she had run into something hard, and firm. Nora blushed, and looked up to see Aion standing in front of her. “Oh. Hi. Um, I was just….” “I know what you were just.” Aion chuckled. “It’s about time.” She sighed. “You know mates aren’t a normal gage for a relationship timeline. Most people---” “Have fun.” Aion brushed passed her. And when he was gone, Nora was left to stand by the door. After a moment, she raised her fist to knock on the door. But before she even could, the door had opened, and there was Roman. He looked at her hungrily. “I could hear your heartbeat down the hall.” Nora blushe
Twenty-sixRoman Eliot She tasted better than he imagined. He had to lick her pussy first. He’d been dreaming about it since he had found her on the subway. And while his tongue was in between her folds, he could feel Nora shivering beneath him. When he thought he had tasted her enough (there would never be enough) he took his head out from in between her legs then stuck a finger inside her. “Oh Nora,” he said, “Princess, I like how wet you feel for me. You’re dripping.” He rubbed in between her folds and he could feel her shivering underneath him. He took his finger out, and he licked the white cum off of his fingers. He had to admit when Nora had told him that she had had other boyfriends before him. But it didn’t matter. When he fucked her, he would make sure that she forgot all about anyone else. Roman trailed kisses down her stomach, then held onto her hands tightly. “I’m going to fuck you now, Nora. I’m going to make it so that you
Twenty-seven:Nora ConnollyThe first thing Nora was aware of was that she wasn’t in Roman’s room. That alone should have been cause for concern. But then, on the stove, there was a cauldron bubbling with something purple inside of it. A tall, blond man wearing black stood over it, stirring the boiling substance.“I knew it would only be a matter of time until you found me.” He had a deep voice, with a British accent.Nora frowned. “Found you?”He looked up. “Yes. We were bound to each other as children, you and me. It was all part of your grandfather’s plan to keep you from being with that werewolf. Your parents, of course, weren’t too happy about it. But Mordred---even though he was a wizard---had some common sense. Werewolves don’t like our kind. Your so-called ‘mate’ will kill you.”“You know nothing,” Nora snarled, “Roman isn’t anything like that. He loves me. I know it. And you…I’ve got no idea who you are. But I do know that I want nothing to do with you.”He laughed. “As if yo
Twenty-eight:Roman Eliot This was always the difficulty with witches as mates. There was always someone coming after them for their power. Nora’s parents had been killed by a shapeshifter because her family’s coven hadn’t wanted her mate to be a werewolf. To be him. Now, there was some warlock trying to claim what was his. He wouldn’t let that happen. When she woke, gasping, and told him of the dream he’d had it took everything in Roman’s power not to shift then and there. The wolf inside of him wanted to chase after Merrick Maddox and tear him to shreds until there was nothing left but his blood and bones. Instead, he listened to her, then they got up and dressed. Together, they went to his study. “Aion’s off with Lucy trying to find someone to help us with getting Winters enchantment taken off. But I thought we could talk with Ares about his brother, like you mentioned,” he told her. “That’s good,” said Nora, “because I actually have
Twenty-nineNora Connolly Ares was stubborn. Just like his namesake. “True love?” Ares said, looking at Nora incredulously. The three of them were standing in Nora’s room, where Winter had been placed. “True love isn’t something that just happens, Connolly.” “So Roman said, and I don’t believe either of you.” Both Ares and Roman sighed heavily at her response. “Look, all of the stories say that true love is instant!” Nora said. “Please, just give it a try. She’s the only one that can answer my questions.” Ares sighed, and looked at the statue of Winter. “She didn’t exactly have the best reaction to finding out she was my mate.” “You pinned her up against the wall,” Nora reminded him. “There are other things I could be doing. Like finding the warlock that’s been keeping you away from Roman. In fact, I think I’ll go and do that right now---” “Ares,” Roman hissed, “Nora thinks this
ThirtyRoman EliotHe was relieved that he had finally shown her his journey to find her. He hadn’t known how she would react. But now that they had finally slept together, he felt solid with her. And that she was willing to have Ares help Winter had also convinced him that Nora was ready to see the journey that he had been on to find her. Then---then she had said that she was “horny with gratitude” and wanted to know where his room was.Which was how they found themselves in one of the many guest rooms of The Stellarum, with Nora completely naked, ready to be fucked once again. People didn’t like to admit that mates had their difficulties. And as much as he had wanted them to be one of those couples that instantly knew they were supposed to be together, he felt glad that they weren’t. Nora had been through something dark as a young woman.He had earned her trust.That was important to him. Because once he was Alpha, they would have to lead the pack together. And it wouldn’t work if t
