I woke up with sunlight burning my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was on the commander's horse, his strong arms were around me guiding the animal down a road. " Good thing you woke up, princess." he said behind me. " Where are we going? " " To the palace, of course. Don't worry, nobody knows you ran away. Your stepmother, Hera, the queen found your letter and banned the floor of your room, saying that you caught a very contagious virus, and that only her maid would take care of you. Of course, with Dimitri gone, I assumed he had kidnapped you, and this was confirmed when I saw the Queen's personal guard being secretly ordered to search outside the palace. " So, Hera had covered it all up... I didn't like her, but her smart attitude had saved me from coming back under great embarrassment. Then something bothered me. " What did he do to me? He jabbed his thumb into the back of my neck and since then I haven't been able to resist him." " Dimitri was born with what
When I returned to the palace I spent the next few hours listening to the Queen’s speech about how my lewd behavior could cost me and the image and reputation of the royal family, which thanks to the kindness of Commander Chase I had returned without causing further harm. I could try to tell her that I had actually been kidnapped, but she was unlikely to believe it, had no way of explaining what Dimitri Sidorov had done to me, it would look like witchcraft, which would only make it worse, She’d think I’d been stricken with evil and call priests to an exorcism, which I don’t need.So I was content to hear your endless complaints." I really hope that you kept your honor intact, because if you didn’t..." she stared at me looking worried and furious at the same time." My honor is intact." I assured, uncomfortable with the course of the conversation.She analyzed me for a few seconds trying to see if I was lying, finally said:" I hope you’re telling the truth, meet me in the healer’s ch
I looked at myself in the mirror in my wedding dress, it was long with a huge train, all white, studded with precious stones, the neckline was heart-shaped, and a tiara full of diamonds was on my head, my black hair fell like waves around me, some braids had been made in it. The whole day the palace was full of servants running from one side to the other, all busy with the preparations for the wedding of the princess and Commander Chase, the ceremony would be held in the south tower hall, that was where the church was, a priest would perform the ceremony, after the two signed the marriage contract everyone would go to the great hall where a big wedding party would be held. I really wasn't prepared for this, but what choice did I have? The door opened and the queen personally came to fetch me to the south tower, I stood up from my chair and looked at her. " Have you come to make sure that I won't run away on the way to the church Your Highness? " I pinned. " Does such a possibilit
I widened my eyes and my heart began to pound in my chest, immediately feeling the heat rise up my neck and burn in my cheeks, even though I didn't want to do it it was inevitable to look away from my own hands. Commander Chase had been straight with me in a way that no man ever had, and that was completely disconcerting. I shifted in my chair uncomfortable with his audacity, how dare he say that? I armed myself with courage and self-confidence and looked up to meet his eyes. " How dare you insinuate such vulgar things?" He pressed his hands further onto my thighs and now our faces were so close that his forehead brushed against mine. " I'm your husband now, I'm going to dare much more than that, princess." saying this he brusquely turned away and drank more wine, ran his hands through his black hair in a provocative way, then looked at me again. " You blush so easily?it's been so long since I've seen a woman do that." His gaze was a fascination that I couldn't explain, so lik
John held me even tighter against him, his look was amused, he was laughing because I was drunk." Get me out of here." I mumbled, holding on to him. He walked with me through the hall, and at every table we passed, all the guests stood up, and the men began to celebrate, many of them shouting that it was time for the consummation of the marriage, and laughing with satisfaction. Even though I was beside myself, I found it embarrassing. At the end of the hall John turned and waved to the king and queen, all eyes were on us and there were many voices around us. He held me by the waist supporting most of my weight and led me into the hall. When we left the hall and found ourselves in the empty corridor, with only the background of voices and music coming from the hall, he looked at me and still holding me asked: " Would you like to walk for a while in the night air? Or do you prefer to lie down?" " I prefer to lie down. " considering that I couldn't even walk. I wanted to protest, to
I was still in the crosshairs of that dark and intense gaze. I couldn't tell if Commander John Chase could see in my eyes, in the half-light of the room, the horror and shame that now filled my thoughts and heart, and if he could, what did it do to him?He took a deep breath." Don't you know what to say, princess?" asked Chase.I sighed in the face of the inevitable." How can I look into your eyes without seeing the blood you have spilled?"" And who did I spill this blood for?" asked the commander.His question was completely unfair, I didn't ask anyone to fight for my hand." How dare you try to put this blood on my hands? You killed for power!" I shouted at him.Suddenly, his hands pushed me backwards onto the bed, his weight crushed me on it, I gasped for breath, but then his mouth claimed mine again. This time more aggressively, his hands went inside my dress and that drew a horrified scream from me, would he really do that?I tried to resist, trying to turn my face away from hi
I tried to struggle against him, but Chase was too strong." Stop trying to get out! Look at me!" he shouted and that made me freeze, there was that danger energy coming from him again, a real, palpable danger.I froze and stared at him, feeling my face flood with tears, his expression before was one of anger, but when I looked at him, it softened. His grip on my wrists lessened enough that it seemed as if he was just touching me there, then he lowered his hand and waved it in front of my face.It was wrapped in a white linen bandage, he untied the cloth revealing a cut on his palm. A cut deep enough to... It can't be..." The blood on the sheet is from my hand." he confirmed my suspicions.John Chase got up off me and sat down on the couch, his gaze still on me as he rewrapped the bandage." Nothing happened yesterday, but that doesn't mean they would think so. Most likely your maids would think you weren't pure when you married, I did it so as not to have rumors about your honor."
I woke up with John Chase shaking me gently. When I opened my eyes I realized that he was tense, and looked around for any sign that it was morning, but in that windowless room it was hard to tell." I asked him, but he was already standing, looking at the door."He brought a finger to his lips, giving me a clear signal of silence, then walked slowly to the door, squinted his eyes, and then someone kicked the door in.John Chase was thrown away, he crashed into the wall of the room. When I looked at the figure in the doorway, responsible for this, I screamed. My whole being screamed, and I couldn't believe my own eyes.A giant creature was standing in the doorway, and it was just as the legends described, huge red eyes, with giant fangs capable of tearing through anything, and claws sharper than swords. He was tall and muscular, although his body was covered with hair and he had a completely animal-like appearance, he stood upright exactly like a human being, and when he looked at me,
***RATE THE BOOK******Helena thought she heard it wrong.Lance Chase had said yes.He held the letter in his hand, while holding her hand, Helena felt chills from touching his skin, but assumed that if he showed all his disgust for that man, maybe he would change his mind.Lance took a deep breath, feeling the scent of Helena, the natural smell of her skin, she looked at him more in that seconds than she had done all those days, he lowered his gaze to her hands, which held his closing around the letter, as if he was afraid he’d just let go.His heart was racing too, Lance could not help but feel impacted by the intensity of those gray eyes that stared at him with such a plea, Lance realized how much she loved his nephew, and at that moment hated him with all the intensity of his heart, there was devotion in her eyes, devotion to him, and only to him.He cleared his throat and uncoupled his hands from hers.- I deliver on one condition.Helena withdrew to imagine what would be the ter
The full moon was near, some days had passed since what happened to Helena, since then she remained in a kind of shock lying on the canopy bed, she wanted to get up, release any power she had against the odious, repulsive Lance Chase.For everything he had done.But if she felt useless, incapable, it was as if he had undermined all her forces, and it left her terrified, Helena spent days in bed remodeling in her mind every moment of that violence... wondering how she could let herself be dominated so easily, how you let it happen. And worse, would Lance tell anyone?Then she remembered how sensitive wolves were to smells, any member of the Pack who came near her would know. Immediately she would know.That couldn’t happen. Never.Two knocks on the door removed her from her thoughts, Helena remained silent, if it was Lance Chase he would open no matter what he said, since what happened he came to her rooms every two days, the knock on the door was only to alert her of his infamous pres
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. But without any success, the man lived enclosed in his fortress.His son had a life of debauchery, and he had the information they needed, and if he did not know of his father’s shady dealings, they would find a way into the fortress.Thomas could be there, trapped.I only had one certainty. Thomas was alive.Leon got up from his bed and got dress
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
