Astraea drew in a deep breath, Caelum’s words exciting her more than she already was. He helped her take off her shirt, leaving her in a lacy black panty, which he found rather sexy. Tracing soft kisses down her neck to her chest, she closed her eyes as she felt his lips’ sensual touch on her skin. His hands roamed down her sides, ever so slowly, as both thumbs gradually exerted pressure. Raising his eyes at her, he brought a hand to cup her breast, massaging it but avoiding the little bud that asked for attention while his free hand slithered down to her inner thigh, teasing her there.
“Caelum,” she breathed, as she couldn’t take his teasing anymore, her body burning with the need to be ravaged completely by him. “Please…”
“Tell me,” he teased. “Tell me what you want.”
A
Caelum stared at her, unable to convince himself that he was merely making things up. If she regretted getting marked, he would – what would he do?“I…” he began, thinking of what to say. “… thought it was alright to…”He let the sentence hang, for he couldn’t make himself apologize for marking her. It wasn’t because of his ego, but because marking her felt right and he would never regret marking her, even if she would hate him for it. His mate bore his mark now, and more than a claim, it was a symbol of his undying love for her.Astraea’s lips quivered as she took deep breaths to calm herself down. Then she spoke, her voice cracking, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Th-Thank… you.”“Thank you?” he repeated, doubting
“Wake up, love,” Caelum murmured, shaking Astraea gently with a beaming look on his face. The woman turned to her side with a soft mmm, still obviously tired from the night’s activities.“Come on, love. It’s already noon,” he informed, planting soft kisses on her shoulders and neck. “I’d love to stay in bed with you all day, but I can’t ignore your rumbling tummy.”Seeing that she wouldn’t make a move to get up, he got off of the bed and moved to be in front of her. Gently, he lifted her up, the sheets sliding off her now exposed body, and she opened an eye. He smiled at her, kissed her forehead, and said, “Good morning. Let’s take a bath.”Her mind still foggy, she closed her eyes again and snuggled in his chest causing him to chuckle. “You could be so a
Her pained expression stared back at her. It was time.She forced herself to smile, and the tears that welled up in her eyes spilled and crept down her cheeks. “I hate you,” she mouthed to the person reflected back at her.Closing the bathroom door, she drew a breath to calm herself. Then, opened the top drawer of the nightstand and took out a pad and pen. Hastily, before Caelum comes back from his office, she sat on the bed and began to write the last pieces she ever will.Tearing the topmost page from the pad, she left it atop the bed with the pen holding it down, and returned the pad on the drawer before closing it. Her mind screamed at her, with every step she took to get to the door, to run and tell Caelum, to trust in him and keep safe what they have, but the thought of losing her was too much to risk.
It was suicide – he understood this part well. And no, he didn’t have a well-made plan. Barge in, kill the bastard and take Astraea back home – not exactly a full-proof plan with a high success rate, it doesn’t even consider their chances of survival.But it didn’t matter - it was too late to turn back now.Caelum stepped into the clearing, hands in the air in show of surrender, as a couple of rogues walked over to him, sneering at their captive.“There will be a feast tonight,” one of them said.“The Alpha has prepared a very special show for you,” said the other.Caelum ignored their comments and followed them into the territory, holding his breath for as long as he could before drawing another, for the stench of rogues was thick in th
Caelum opened his eyes and was greeted by darkness and the smell of decay, and deduced that he was in the basement. Chains rattled as he moved his arms which were stretched out to his sides and when he tried to move his legs, found that his ankles were bound as well. The silver stung his skin, and the wolfsbane burned, but thanks to his resistance training, it didn’t hurt as much as it was supposed to.Still, though Chase was helping him thicken his skin, he couldn’t quite communicate with his wolf. It seemed as though Chase had faded into the background which was peculiar considering the situation, they were in. His eyes glazed over as he tried to mind-link Luca, but there was interference – wolfsbane.As he racked his brain on how to escape despite the terrible headache, the door swung open and after a click, light filled the room. Caelum bl
Noah stayed silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed aloud.“I almost forgot. Thank you for reminding me, Astraea. Such a good girl.”“Please… Master.”A thought crossed his mind, causing him to smirk. “Brother, do you know why she calls me Master?”“Go fuck yourself,” the Alpha answered.He lightly scratched his chin as if considering Caelum’s proposal. “I would but where’s the fun in that?”“Please… Master,” she repeated, tugging on the ends of his pants only to be denied further attention. Instead, he harshly pulled his leg away without so much as a glance at her and faced Caelum, who had his head down but was internally trying to keep himself calm despite it bei
“Master…ah… please… Ma-Master.”Astraea kept begging Noah as he fucked her from behind, putting on yet another show for Caelum. She couldn’t help but moan as he hit a particular spot inside of her and her hatred grew – towards her master, but even more so towards herself.Her moans were for only her Alpha, for Caelum whom she had used and betrayed. The pain in her chest intensified which added to the list of things she should be guilty for, including the fact that he was feeling the same pain as she.“Ma-Master… ah… ah… p-plea…please.”Noah slammed his dick inside her cunt, ignoring her pleas for Araceli. He was high at the moment – the addictive pleasure of her tight walls wrapping around his dick, and Caelum well-aware of eve
“You see, before those corpses ruled the south, several packs had to be annihilated, including the royal pack. Many died, enslaved, while a few lucky survivors managed to escape or weren’t there when it happened. Astraea here was among the latter, and so was her entire family it seemed. By staying in neutral grounds, they were spared a cruel fate… only to suffer a crueler fate in my hands.”Flick.Noah lit a cigarette and after a long drag, slowly exhaled the smoke. “I killed her family, spared the grandma and her granddaughters.”“WHY?” Caelum asked in a low growl.“Why?” he repeated, thinking for himself. “Ah!”His palm went to his forehead, throbbing in pain as white flashes formed in his mind’s eye.
Caelum ran a hand through his hair as he paced back and forth, impatience getting to him at the long hours of waiting.Then the door opened and an elder stepped out. She smiled kindly at him, and said, “She’s fine now, Alpha.”He breathed a sigh of relief. It was only three days after his proposal when she had fallen gravely ill from out of the blue.“It is strange,” the woman said. “She kept saying ‘Araceli’. If I may inquire, Alpha, who is this person she keeps calling for?”“Her sister,” Caelum answered. “But she’s no longer with us.”The elder’s brows knitted. “Strange. A werewolf only catches the moon fever when a family member is dying and is most likely to happen when the two share a particularly strong bond with each other. But how can that be? You say he
She sniffled, and he immediately shut up. She raised a hand and landed a soft punch on his chest.One. Two. Then she was pounding her fists on him as she cried.“Why? Why did you save me? Let me die! Let me die!”He forcefully held arms and hugged her shaking frame, her head resting on his chest.“Don’t,” he said. “Don’t leave me.”Astraea felt something drip on her hair. Looking up, she saw that he was crying too.“Don’t leave me… please. Stay with me. Stay with me forever.”Her voice was pained as she spoke. “I can’t.”“Why?”She didn’t answer.She felt cold in his arms. Her clothes weren’t warm enough. So, he pulled her closer to hi
For Caelum, it felt like time had stopped. She did all that… for him? And he… he almost lost her… forever?His heart couldn’t take it – wouldn’t be able to take it. Losing her… What would he be without her?What-What has he done? She… she…He had to go to her.He opened a drawer and took out a small cube black wooden box. It had a glossy polish to it, and when he opened it, the slit within the ivory leatherette lining held a solitaire style ring. The center stone was a fat round diamond sitting between the prongs which were made of the same material as the shank, platinum.It was perfectly her size, and he had personally chosen it for her. Even he couldn’t believe it – he was actually looking forward to settling with he
“What the fuck was that!” Chase roared as Caelum emptied the bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label.“Fuck off, Chase.”“Fuck you, Caelum! Why’d you do that? You hurt mate!”He blocked him. He was in no mood to hear Chase’s yapping.“You know drinking won’t make the pain go away.”He raised his head and saw Melanie standing by the doorway with a hand on her hip, her other hand pinching Luca’s ear. The latter leaned closer to her to not make it hurt as much as it should. Caelum raised a brow at them.“You spend a day with her, without so much as restraining yourself for the sake of whoever passed by the clinic, turned MY CLINIC into a love motel, and now I find you drinking yourself to death!
Reaching even deeper inside of her, bruising her cervix and playing with her swollen clit. He’d flip her to her back, to her stomach, to her side, and penetrate her from different angles, reaching places inside her she didn’t know existed until then.“You love this, don’t you?” he asked with a hint of anger in his voice, it scared her.Slap!She mewled as his hand came down on her ass cheeks. Every slap stung, only to be eased when he ran a hand on them.“TELL ME, Astrea!” he demanded. “You love being fucked, don’t you? You love it when a dick’s inside you, don’t you? Don’t you!”His words cut deep into her heart, like a knife that stabbed it many times over.He leaned forward t
“Hi,” she said shyly. “I.. uhm… I..uh… outside!”She chirped the last word a little higher and was about to close the door when he grabbed her hand, kicked the door close, and pinned her to it. His body pressed against her, her face inches away from him.He had so much in his mind lately he forgot about his heat cycle. And now she was so... close, the scent of her arousal making his head spin.She stared at him with desire in her eyes, trailing his body up and down, certain that her mind was going back to the night they shared together. His eyes darkened. He was pitching up a tent and he needed her... badly...right then and there.He grounded his pelvis against her as he captured her lips into a passionate kiss, leaving them both breathless.“Cael
Running. Astraea woke up to the news that Caelum had just awakened from the coma. She left the omega who brought her breakfast in a hurry to get to him.She had slept over that morning feeling refreshed as if she hadn't been under a cloud just yesterday.Caelum... Alpha... she had to see for herself.She passed by the training grounds where Kaide was making the warriors do pushups in unison, all counting loudly. Gray was beside him, shouting at the warriors to count louder."Morning, Luna!" Kaide called with a grin on his face.She stopped. "Good... morning, Kaide," she huffed. "Is he..."“Yeah, he's up and already ordering us around. Said he didn't want to see any of us until he talked to you. Smack him in the head for me, will you?"
Screams pierced the silence.The smell of blood thick in the air as the warm liquid ran down his abdomen to his thighs, drops of red seeping through the ground. His fearful eyes were wide open as the blade plunged deeper into his chest, puncturing his lung.The chains rattled as he struggled to break free. His feet stomped on the ground, the feel of the blade moving inside him significantly more painful than a straight stab. His desperate need to escape made it more painful, and Caelum enjoyed the sight of his helplessness.Caelum took another blade from the array of tools neatly arranged atop a wooden table. The blade’s edge dull – a sharp blade cuts easier, but where’s the fun in that?He waved it around, deciding where to put it, and decided on the man’s nipple. The tip touched right at the
Building 13 was quite a distance from the pack but it didn’t matter for he asked Luca to keep the Gammas clear of the building. With a full moon and the cool night breeze, it was rather calming, tonight was a nice change of pace.“Hey,” Chase said casually.“So much for peace,” Caelum sighed. “Don’t talk me out of it.”“I won’t. I wanted to tell you that I want to have fun, too.”“Do you have anything special in mind?” he asked. “They’re no ordinary prisoners, we should treat them differently. The old routine isn’t fun now.”“Leave it to me,” Chase said. “No one hurts mate.”The building looked abandoned like it was about to collapse on its
