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

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
Thirty-one:Nora Connolly Nora wished that she could say that she had disappeared on purpose. However, she was not powerful enough to do that yet. The lightening and the thunder she had definitely felt course through her. Rage, Merrick had told her, could activate her powers. When Roman had argued with her, she had definitely felt that. Nora had heard of werewolf mates being stubbornly protective. But she had never thought that it would be a problem with Roman since he knew she was a witch. The fight was only further proof that they didn’t know anything about each other. How stupid had she been to think that one rescue and sex could fix everything? She had fallen for the mate magic, and Roman’s charm. She’d let herself get caught up in the idea that she had found a home. But really, she was still the girl that didn’t know where she belonged. Quite literally. Because she had vanished from the room and she had been in only to arrive some p
Thirty-two:Roman Eliot The Powerists had come to The Stellarum. The witches, the warlocks, the vampires, the fae, the ghosts…all of the magical beings the universe could have thought of. They had gathered in the dining hall. His father and mother sat at the head of the table, looking out over all of them, and he sat right by his father’s side. “I didn’t think this many people would be angry,” said Roman. Elaine glanced at him. “You underestimate the power of ignorance, son.” Remington put a hand on Roman’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. We’ll talk to them. I’m sure we’ll be able to calm them down.” “What if that isn’t all that it takes, dad?” Roman asked. He had even spotted Glinda off in the far corner. She hadn’t made eye-contact with him. Glinda had always helped the pack before. They’d been good friends for ages. He had never imagined that his mate would come between them like that. But Glinda insisted that Nora played a big part in her fu
