— Brother? — I repeated incredulously.He came over and sat down on the floor beside the bathtub. His blue eyes stared at me looking amused, as if they had made quite a discovery.As I watched Dimitri, I couldn't help but look for some similarities between the two men. Dimitri was tall, but not as tall as the commander, his hair was an almost white blond, his skin was pale, his eyes were very blue, and his eyelashes were very light. He almost looked like an albino and in no way resembled John, I noticed.Dimitri held out a hand for water and I backed away. I was completely defenseless against him and didn't want to be controlled by him again. I wondered if if I screamed, would anyone hear me in time?Dimitri merely smiled at the distance I put between us.— Can we talk later? — I tried to persuade him to leave, my heart beating faster.— How coy of you, princess. I was just about to offer to take a bath with you, since we both know that now your honor is no longer at stake. — insinuat
I stood in the doorway, staring into those cold blue eyes of his, by his affected expression I had offended him, I had to hold back a satisfied laugh.He reached for a sheet on the bed and wrapped it around his waist, not taking his eyes off me, and behind him Lina was wrapped in another sheet, she avoided my gaze, completely embarrassed.— Get out of here! — ordered Dimitri harshly.— Why? Did I hurt your feelings, Mr. Sidorov? — I asked slyly.That was the limit for Dimitri, he advanced towards me, upset he grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hall, his hand closing tightly around my arm, halfway down the hall I pulled my arm from his hand, this made me unbalanced and fall to the floor, Dimitri reached out his hand to try to reach me but I ended up during my fall kicking his groin, he lost his strength and fell on top of me, the thin sheet was the only thing that covered him.— What the fuck is this! — a deep and familiar voice resounded in the hallway.I pushed Dimitri's heavy b
When I opened the door for the commander, my heart beat even harder. Standing a short distance away, John stood with his arms crossed over his broad chest, his eyes half-closed, appraising me.— Do you no longer wish to enter, commander? — I asked confidently with the side of my body resting on the side of the door; with the other hand, I held it slightly open.— Do you want me to come in? Shall I get a drink, dear? — he asked cheekily.I stared at him, trying to disguise my shock at his audacity. He had been begging me to come in for a few minutes, and now he was turning the tables. As if I was inviting him in.Could the commander never stop trying to manipulate everything around him?I knew I should respond to him, but when he came over and uncrossed his arms, he slowly leaned in, his face inches from mine, and I swallowed hard. My mind was suddenly confused as he stared at me with that dark stare, so expressive, and yet, it was also an enigma. Because no matter how hard I tried, I
I woke up with the first rays of sunlight coming in through the window. But I also hadn’t slept for most of the night, partly because I had no experience on the high seas, and the rocking of the ship was not doing well to my stomach, and partly also because my mind was over-thought. And all facing a certain commander. I had the feeling that I was acting like an idiot, and it hurt my pride.I got out of bed, and when I washed and dressed decently, I started thinking about the scene last night. How had Lina stopped in Dimitri’s bed? He was so... immoral.Then I heard light knocks on the door, so soft that I thought I was imagining things. But then someone knocked again, and my heart jumped irrationally. Because I couldn’t be the commander, he wouldn’t be so gentle... Battery?I got up and opened the door. Standing with her gaze on the floor, was Lina, her hands were crossed in front of her small body, and she made a rather shy curtsy, muttering a "Good morning, Your Highness" to me.I si
— An all-girls meeting! — Dimitri pronounced at the door.— What do you want, Dimitri? — I asked harshly.He sighed and his eyes rested on Lina. Her gaze at Lina was sympathetic, but after they turned to me, they were cold.— John is on deck waiting for you, since you didn’t show up for breakfast.— How surprising, Dimitri Sidorov, the errand boy! — I spoke, standing up.Dimitri made a face and out of the corner of his eye, I saw Lina smile.— I didn’t come here just to deliver a message from your precious owner, I was coming here anyway.— He does not own me. — I replied, very offended.— Whatever! I came to give you some information because you stopped John from killing me.I raised an eyebrow, remembering his confident words that his brother would not kill him.— But what a surprise, I remember you saying he wouldn’t kill his little brother. — I remembered his words, trying to imitate his confident voice of the occasion.He snorted, looking impatient and angry. Oh, if only I could
The wind blew hard on my face, my hands were sweaty on the ship’s wall, my front on the horizon began to appear the first lights of sunrise, and with it the imposing view of Corvo Island.John was beside me on the deck, his eyes fixed on the majestic point that was the island.Captain Page gave his orders to his crew, Dimitri was nowhere in sight, I did not regret it, but when I looked at Lina, I saw that she was sorry.The ship Serpent of the sea docked on the Island of the raven, when we got off the ship saw several men waiting for us, they were all tall and strong, when they saw John greeted him respectfully, looked around and saw Dimitri disembark, he did not accompany us to the castle, John told me that only the servants and the pack lived in the castle.I felt a twinge of empathy for Dimitri, he wasn’t part of the pack, according to what Lina had told me, and the only thing I knew was that he was a bastard, werewolf son, but he wasn’t a werewolf.We went to the castle in a carr
— Helena this is Leon Kane. — Introduced the commander, and it was then that the man turned his gaze from Lina to me. His reddish-brown eyes stared at me completely empty, seemed not to notice me. He unlike James didn’t smile at me. — Madam, welcome. — he said in a distant voice. So without saying another word, and with one last empty look at Lina, who was next to me, he left in stride. — Did I offend you? — I asked confused. — I fear I am the target of your displeasure, Your Highness. — replied Lina, blushing terribly. The air between the four of us became extremely embarrassing and tense, and I did not understand the reason. James clears his throat and says: — Lina, take Helena to see her quarters. Lina nodded and went to the huge staircase, I took one last look at John, who smiled at me, encouraging me to follow Lina, James Turner waved offering a warm smile. I followed Lina down the stone steps until I reached a huge corridor. There were hundreds of doors wit
I spent the rest of the day practically sleeping. After Lina left other servants served me lunch, and after days on a ship, I lay down on a soft bed that did not move. It was a real relief. I had a few hours until the alpha’s homecoming dance, which Lina said I would meet the rest of the commander’s Pack. When I woke up it was already night, the moon rose high in the sky, and fortunately it was not a full moon. I woke up with Lina’s beats, looking urgent. I got up and opened the door, she made a gesture, I was looking at myself feeling uncomfortable as she bowed. — Lina, enough of these miseries, I’m no longer in Shivia, and I’m a Chase now. — I said. She looked at me surprised, but nodded. I could not convince all the servants, but at least Lina would listen to me, she rushed in, and behind her several maids, and it was a real uproar. The return dance of the Alpha’s return with his wife was already close to beginning, Lina wished to come earlier, but according to her

Henry woke up suddenly, as if he were still at the battle of the castle, he sat down quickly looking for his sword.- You woke up! Henry looked in the direction of the voice.The unknown woman who shot with the bow, was bent before the river drinking water.So Henry looked around, they were in a forest near the river, he was leaning on a tree that gave him a nice shade, the horse was not in sight.- Who are you? - It was the question he asked while lowering his sword.His head throbbed too much, and he felt miserable.The woman stood up revealing to be short in stature, her hair was loose and a little messy, her face was wet, and her arms too, that’s when Henry noticed that she not only drank water, but was also trying to refresh herself.The sun was very strong.- Who are you from the ultimate Alpha Pack? - She asked as she walked to him.Her golden eyes showed no hostility, she looked curious, and Henry noticed that she must have been very young, she looked very young.- I’m Henry
Leon woke up in the middle of the night feeling a painful sensation in his heart, as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.He sat in the bed of the inn when cold, looked at his hands trembling and could not understand the reason for it.He did not remember having any nightmare, but the overwhelming sensation in his chest persisted without rest.He looked around at the dimly lit room, weeks had passed since his arrival at the inn, still hoping to track down the man who had information about Thomas.He had traveled and would return within a few days.His father was unreachable, living in a fortress, tried to infiltrate in various ways.

When Helena felt that Lance loosened the grip on her wrists she could not contain the relief she felt because she would soon get rid of the grotesque pressure of her excitement behind her.But it seemed to trigger some kind of trigger on him, he turned it hard and his dark green eyes were furious.I did not know exactly what he saw in his eyes, but obviously this did not please him, on the contrary.Helena felt that before Lance had regained some of his reason, that he was almost safe, but something changed drastically in a matter of seconds, the violent energy that emanated from him almost suffocated her, when he looked into his eyes he was completely disgusted by what he saw he was about to do.He would possess it. He tore her underwear, lifted the hem of her dress leaving her completely exposed, and pulled her stiff member out of her pants, he pressed on her entrance, and it made her want to die.Helena could not breathe properly, could not even react, her brain was working perfec
When Helena said those words, she felt as if something inside her was permanently broken.It was a great betrayal, what I was proposing, but he valued the situation very much. And he feared that if he did not act, Lance would execute John, and could not bear this idea, he thought of helping John to get settled back on the throne, but the world was cruel to women, even if she could ask for her brother’s support in Shivia until he responded to her husband’s aid, how could she remain married to him? You needed to get away from John. And for that he needed to escape the island, which seemed unlikely to succeed, even if he now felt that he could dominate the minds of men for a few moments, implanting his desires in them, this power within her was completely unpredictable.I didn’t know how to control it.And even if she escaped, if she ran away what would happen to John? He would regain his reason, and fight, even if it cost him his life, even at a disadvantage. But if I could get him kick
******RATE THE BOOK*********Helena felt the energy that had seized her body so voraciously before dissipating when she saw the commander ready to kill her.Deep down, she understood that even if she loved him deeply and that all she wanted was to be close to him, it couldn’t happen anymore.He was lucid until he was in her presence, his presence was the trigger to awaken the curse of madness in him.And she knew that distance was best for him, even if it cost her heart, even if it meant that she would die inside, because she perfectly understood that his suffering was her fault, and her kind. After all, it was your kind that committed atrocities.It was her kind that condemned an entire lineage to have the blood of their wives on their hands, at that moment while crying in bed she repudiated everything that was. She thought of that power that lived inside her, that had saved her life so many times, and thought that at any cost she would save John’s life, sat down on the bed and thou
*****COMMENT AND RATE********Lance Chase was a complete idiot.This was what was going on in his head at the exact moment he realized what he had done and risked bringing his Banshee to the commander’s cell.He risked his life, although his nephew was with powerful herbs in his body and bound by silver chains that did not stop him, watched astonished he let loose in the ferocious animal he was, Lance immediately blocked Alpha’s vision of Helena with his own body, concealing it from him, but it only seemed to increase the rampant fury in the crazed white eyes that stared at them.Everything seemed to get too slow, was completely aware of the Alpha rising over them, his fangs stretching and his face taking on an animalistic shape, his arms turning with a bone breaking sound, a high pitched sound, and soon her legs did the same as her arms, her whole body taking on a new form. As an Alpha was becoming independent of full moon, just call for his inner animal, which was part of it, behind
***COMMENT AND RATE********When Lance Chase reached out to Helena, saying the words her heart longed for, she had to contain the urge to cry hysterically, the Banshee carefully analyzed her expression. Her dark green gaze was concentrated, her mouth a straight line, her expression was impassive, she could not understand the reason for her sudden change. Then suddenly something terrible occurred to him, maybe he was just being cruel, making her raise foolish hopes that she would see John’s face once again, the princess deep in her eyes and saw him get confused with her silence. " Don’t you want to see him more woman? " asked the impatient man. She shuddered completely confused, was he really serious? Would he take her to see his beloved John? " Are you serious? " His voice was a stifled whisper, because his heart was twitching inside his chest, fearing that he would reveal that it was just a cruel joke. " I am. " Murmured her and took her hand letting him lead her out of the ro
