Maddox Ares Slater:
It has been a week since I had last seen the woman that had managed to captivate me. Her round, baby face that held naturally chubby cheeks tormented my nights.Those lovely hazel orbs of hers that held a grey outline, small button nose and pulmp rosy lips. Soft black hair that fell over her back, encasing her face. She was petite and strikingly beautiful.Her tiny hands that were soft to touch and fragile aura. She reeked of innocence and one look at her eyes, one wouldn't want to look away. Despite the black gown she was wearing I could still see how endowed she was. She had a moderate bust size and her ass looked perfect enough from what I could observe.Her smell of Honey mixed with vanilla invaded my nose, making my eyes darken. The more I looked at her, the more she stole my attention. I knew rejecting one's given mate was an insult to the moon-goddess but all that could have been avoided if she had given me a more powerful mate.I had perceived her, her aura was weak and I could feel her wolf. She was weak as well. I was a bloody Lycan, and the least she could have gone was to give me someone stronger. I wasn't exactly inclined towards the idea of a mate bond but I did have my preferences should I ever meet her and they didn't entirely lie on my species.She wasn't even a beta or a gamma. She was a freaking omega and one of the weakest of them all. Lycans were warriors so how on earth was she supposed to rule by my side when she was frail and extremely fragile.For goodness sake, even her cut, one minute and still counting and it showed no signs of healing. What on earth was she supposed to do for me? I bet one night mating with her was enough to seriously injure her because I wasn't one to control my urges.I would have doubted her being a werewolf but I could feel her fucking wolf. What type of mockery was this? I refuse to have a worm like that stand as my Luna but that didn't mean that I was going to let her go.She has been on my mind, my darkness begging to revel in her innocence. I wanted to taint her in so many ways till her innocence would be long gone. I wanted to have my hands running down her body, feeling every fucking curve. I wanted to taste her lips till they were swollen. I wanted the have her body banging harder on my bed, while she took my name like a holy mantra.I wanted to have her legs on her shoulder while I tasted her. I needed to know how she'd taste. I was itching so badly to bring her down to her knees, looking at me with such innocent eyes while she awaited to take my cock in her mouth.Fuck, I wanted to feel those mounds moulding in my hands. I wanted to touch her in ways that I knew no man has every touched her. It gladened me to know that she still a virgin and the things that I wanted to do her were so sinful.I couldn't count how many cold showers that I had been forced to take, having no choice but to touch myself when the erection never died down, all because of the little woman that wouldn't leave my fucking head. Every night I went to bed hard and woke up harder. She haunted my dreams, teasing me to the brinks of insanity.I had lost count of the nights I had touched myself, with her name on my lips. I was losing my head and no matter what I did, she wasn't living my head. I had found myself craving her scent, unable to concentrate on anything.I banged my fists against my table, growling as the bulge in my pants grew harder. This was madness. I had just relived myself a less than half an hour ago and I was springing in my fucking pants.I had sent her to the dungeon and ordered for her not to be fed. I wanted to see how long she'd survive in a place that reeked of suffering and blood without food. After receiving reports from Fay that she was falling sick, I ordered for her to drop off food for her yesterday.Garrett, my wolf, had not been in support of rejecting her and treating her like that but he certainly wasn't pleased about how weak she was. So he didn't actually say much concerning the matter, only craving her company. He wanted her as much as I did.I shook my head refraining from further thinking about her. I stared at the ceiling for a solid minute before tugging on my hair. She was freaking driving me crazy, the evidence could be found in my pants and it was twitching wickedly.I didn't know how long I was going to last if this continued. Or perhaps I didn't need to test my self-control to such an extent. I could just have a taste of her and get it over with.I let go of my hair further considering the thought. I did buy her to be my mistress and in exchange for her freedom, I told her greedy father that I'd let her go once she bore me an heir. But it was when I had no idea that she was going to be my freaking mate. So perhaps now permanently making her mistress didn't seem like a bad idea.I mindlinked Fay, telling her to get the girl ready for me in two hours. I had ordered her to deliver food to her and ensure she was well fed and ready for me. I wanted her dressed in a nightgown and delivered to my room. Something easy to rip wouldn't be so bad.I was going to go for a run, it had been a while since Garret got to let free and roam in the wild. She'd make the perfect main course when I get back."Let's go, boy." I called out to my wolf, actually feeling excited. I had something to look forward to.***I sat in my room, fully refreshed and ready for the woman who was to be arriving any minute from now. I puffed out smoke from my lips, taking a large gulp of the burning liquid from the glass in my hands, staring at the door.My mind couldn't stop thinking about the possible things that I could do with her. There were so many things that I wanted to do… I wanted her to beg for me to take her.I was eager to show her the different ways in which I could pleasure her. I wanted her to feel the satisfaction my fingers could bring to her and not only that I wanted her to become acquainted with my dark fantasies.Dipping my eyes to stare at the tool lined on the bed, I puffed out smoke, smirking as I tried the picture how she'd react when she saw them. I was curious to know how she'd react to every tool I planned to use on her.The vibrator was my personal favorite because I'd get to fuck her, watch her scream and cry out my name, coat the lengthened toy with her juices. I wanted to see goosebumps lie in wake on her skin while I kissed every corner, leaving her lying blindfolded on the bed, unaware of my next move.I perceived her scent and it made excitement course through my veins. She was here. I took one last grag from the cigarette stick tucked in-between my fingers and killed the fire, gulping down the remnants in the glass.I heard a soft knock on my door and Fay's voice came next, "My king, I brought the girl."Excellent."You may go…" I adjusted my posture on the chair, "Lesia, you may come in." I calmly said.I heard Fay's retreating footsteps and after a long minute, heard my door open. My lips curved upwards, a satisfied smirk on my face as I took in her presence.She was dressed in a red silk nightmare that rested mid-thigh, her figure highlighted by the material that hugged her skin. Shit, she was even more curvier than I imagined with well defined hips. Her hair fell over her shoulders, her soft lips glistening a little.Red, a beautiful color best soothed for the world she was about to visit tonight. It symbolized passion and dangerous desires and it complimented her skin.Her perky breasts were visible by virtue of how the material carefully traced her buds. I made a mental note to give Fay a raise for a job well done. I itched to flick them, see them bounce.The woman before me was absolutely beautiful with skin that glowed like that of a porcelain doll, highlighting her black hair even more. I sniffed the air, nearly howling at how delicious she smelled. I was craving her taste.I noticed the scars on her skin and purple marks around her ankle… she was in pain. The way she bit down on her bottom lip confirmed it. It angered me to see the marks on her fair skin.I gently stood up from my seat, walking toward her anxious form. She took a step back and I noticed her limp. Did she sprain her ankle?I caught her by her hands, pulling her against my chest. Her muffled gasps were like music to my ears as I inhaled the strawberry shampoo used on her hair. I pulled away from her, eyeing her down.I extended my hand and flicked my index finger against her nipple, she jerked back, eyeing me wearily with widened eyes. Those very eyes that made me want to play with her, torture her, till she begged for me to take her."Strip." I called out to her, perching on the edge of my bed to enjoy a full sight of her.Her alarmed eyes immediately flew up to meet mine and she shook her head in opposition, trying to cover up her body.I squinted at her with a darkened gaze, her defiance was absolutely making this more enjoyable for me."You have till the count of three. Strip or I strip you."Her eyes widened even more in fear as she looked away from my dark gaze boring into her. The seriousness in my tone made tears gather in her eyes."1"I circled her, pinning her with eager eyes."2" I breathed out, sniffing the skin on her shoulders.She sniffled before gently pulling away from me. Her teary face met mine and she wiped her eyes, "don't worry, I'd do it." The gentleness in her tone made my gaze grow in intensity.She gently began pushing down the thin strap that kept the gown on her body, off her shoulders, biting onto her lips to keep the tears away as she closed her eyes and let the gown drop.My breath got knocked out of my chest at the sight of bare form left me dazed. Her hair fell past her shoulders, strands sticking to her lips which she didn't bother tucking away. Her firm breasts stared at me, with pale pink buds teasing me.I dragged my eyes down to her flat stomach, taking in the curves her waist held. Her hips were bigger than I could have ever phantomed she'd possess and her slender legs were a killer. She was a goddess.Her cheeks were burning a bright red as she looked away, fiddling with her fingers while I took in her nakedness. I could feel my erection protesting in my pants and I had difficulty swallowing properly. I couldn't look away.I stood directly behind her, noticing how her body quivered when I ran my index finger down the length of her arm, "turn around." I whispered into her ear, kissing behind her ear.She hesitantly turned and upon finding the variety of toys I had lined up on my bed, took a step back. I knew she didn't know what they were but she was highly fightful of me."W-what are they?" She eyed them yet again."Why don't you find out? Pick one." I huskily whispered in her ear.She shot me a worried side glance and pulled her button lip in-between her teeth, reverting her eyes to carefully go through the seven pleasure bringing tools I had laid out.She shakily limped towards the bed, running her fingers over the array of objects. She paused in front of the vibrator and picked it up, looking it over. She turned to me, "t-this one?""Excellent choice Princess, my personal favorite." I grinned at her.I collected it from her, running my eyes over it, "get on the bed and spread your legs for me. I promise you'll enjoy this as much as I will."Lesia Nika Shaw:It's been one week since Maddox had turned me into his personal sex toy and it irked me how easily he commanded my body. Despite my immense hatred for him, I still found myself screaming his name like my life depended on it, with my back arched while he brought me serving after serving of orgasmic pleasure.I remembered the first night he called me to his room. He had a dark gaze that made me worry as well as excited me. There was something about him that made me want to run as fast as I could, perhaps then I'd escape his seductive aura.I felt disgusted at myself for giving in to his seduction, daring to get aroused against my will when he had me locked up for a week without food nor water. He had me chained by my ankle, the silver burning my skin. He treated me like a criminal when all I did wrong was turn out to be his mate.He had made me pick one from the strange looking objects lined on the bed and I knew I had no choice but to obey. I didn't want to go back to
Kian Ceaser Black:I sat on the floor with my legs folded, my eyes pulled shut as I listened to the water flow down the river. The musty, earth odor along with the chirping of the birds and mild ruffle of shrubs, had me taking deep breaths.I could feel my body relaxing, my stress easing with each breath I took. I opened my eyes, threading my hand through my hair. The last couple of weeks had been rough for me, promising to drive me to the brink of insanity if I remained in that environment for one second more.I couldn't remember the last time I properly slept, nor the last time I actually took a break and did something for myself. It was always pack affairs and council meetings and honestly, a meeting where the majority were idiots, was mentally draining.The Lycan king was becoming very persistent in trying to form an alliance with my pack and I wanted none of that. My pack was famous for its brute strength and rapid healing capacity. Not only that, we owned the best part of the la
Kian's POV The woods, particularly at night, have never been a safe haven, especially for low ranking wolves.When rogues capture high ranking wolves roaming the woods at night, they often kidnap them and demand for a ransom, in exchange for their release. However, if they come in contact with omegas and the other low ranking wolves, they prey on them, and eventually kill them.I fixed my gaze on the lady that was before me, it was obvious she wasn’t a high ranking wolf, but she didn’t seem like an omega either. She looked worse.Who could she possibly be? I pondered.Her body laid at rest on the bed as I inspected every inch of it that my view was able to fall upon. She was hurt. Really hurt. Even as an observer, I was able to sense her wrenching from pain, although she slept.I took in a deep breath as I called out to the maid. It took only mere seconds before she came falling at my feet in reverence."Treat her. Tend to her wounds. Make sure she's well by sunrise. The pack do
Maddox POV: They stood before me, the four of them with their heads dangled below in shame, including Fay. Especially Fay. I had them strip their clothes off, wearing nothing but their underwear.The room and their bodies were illuminated in red light, sent flickering by a dancing flame sitting upon fire wood in the heart of the chimney.I was angry of course. Armed with a whip which I used to flog every damn foolishness off their bodies, It cracked the air as it lashed on their flesh. My anger burned me even more than it did to them. Some wailed and cried from the pain, the others groaned a little. Fay didn't make a sound. She was the only one not to do so, which annoyed me even more than I am vexed in the first place.I walked up to her slowly, glaring at her eyes. She didn't look aside, neither did she show any fear. She had always been my favorite for her boldness. Although her boldness and her being my favorite underling, were more reasons that she was being punished this t
Kian’s Pov "She belongs to Maddox."William's words were still fresh in my head, replaying every now and then, spinning my thoughts around in a multitude of ways, in multiple directions.Maddox and I have maintained a coexisting relationship for years. I don’t meddle in his affairs, he doesn’t meddle in mine either. However, his claim to Lessie has put a halt to the many years of ceasefire we’ve had.Williams equally told me that Maddox invited me for a meeting concerning the girl whose name I have found out, is Lessia.“Do you need to go? Why don’t you just send her back to him and forget she ever existed. She is a nobody after all.” Williams had suggested, but it was more like a warning. He didn’t want me to break the truce because of some slave girl.It was true that Maddox and I go a long way back, our families as well, and it was a rather troublesome past. But for this reason, I had to meet him. We had successfully stayed out of each other's tracks for years because of how grue
Lessie’s Pov My body floated in mid air. I felt warmth around me all of a sudden as I seemed to be snatched by what I could only describe as a pair of arms. Very muscular arms.My eyes were shut out of the world as I felt myself pulled towards a body that felt familiar. I didn't care, neither did I want to care. I thought I was dead. I thought that was heaven. And I wanted for a while to stay that way forever.Could this have been an angel? I thought in that moment of bliss.—"Are you really such an idiot?" A voice interrupted. "Are you mad?" Do you know how high that up that window is from the floor?"My eyes opened once again, but this time to the face of a man looking quite sternly at me with his lips bowed in a frown. He had such finely shaped features that if he had not started his sentence with an insult I would have blushed at him."Who the hell are you?" I retorted. "Put me down this instant." I said in a commanding tone, which felt like a wrong to do, he looked like a
Lessia's POV I couldn't have possibly been able to count the number of times I had walked across the room that day. I could guess, and it would turn up to a thousand times.A thousand times I had dragged my feet painstakingly across the four corners of the room, and for nothing. Nothing but the damn reason that I was bored out of the far reaches of my mind.After a while I decided to take a stroll around the building. It offered a variety of views that caught my attention. From the paintings on the walls that seemed to come alive just by staring at them, sculptures of werewolves in transformation, to the faces of people who smiled at me on the way.That was by far the most surprising thing I had ever encountered. My heart danced to the rhythm of their voices as they greeted me with an attitude that spelled sunshine and rainbows.On one hand, it made me a bit sick inside. On the other hand, I really did not know how to feel about it. All my life I had been treated and handled by th
Maddox POV: "Why did I let her go? How stupid could I be? How did a man like Kian manipulate me into giving into him?" It had been a while since I was this angry. I felt not just like a fool but like a childish one with no bearing on what to with himself and what not to do.Only a fool would have fallen for the cheap stunt he pulled on me.My mind continuously went on a back and forth trip to the day of the meeting and the more it did the more I felt more embarrassed of the fool I had felt myself to be.If only there was a way to turn back the hands of time so I could go back and relive that day. If only. But sadly no such thing existed. If it did, Lessia would have of course still have been within the whims of my power doing my bidding.Deep down, a cold hand seemed to play freely with the strings of my soul, playing a song I didn't want to admit I heard. To admit that deep down, I kind of missed her. But I wouldn't have admitted it even if I was to die if I didn't.The fire in t
Lessia's POVFive Years Later… “Mummy, we’re waiting, hurry up!” I heard Raphael call out to me.“I’ll be down in a minute.” I yelled back, as I tried to apply the finishing touches to my make up.It was the boys birthday, Raphael had been overly excited about it. He asked for so many things for his birthday, he was looking forward to seeing his wishes being granted.Leo on the other hand, didn’t say much about what he wanted his birthday, well asides from reminding us that he hated chocolate cakes and wouldn’t attend the party if he sees any present. So I made a mental note to not add chocolates to the list of desserts.Kian and I planned the whole celebration by ourselves. After Williams betrayal, five years ago, we still found it difficult to trust people. We made good friendships with some of the parents of our children friends, but it was centered on the kids. We still kept our healthy boundaries.After I gave birth to the twins, Kian became even more overprotective. He didn’t
Lessia's POV: The room was growing darker, as it seemed that light was sipping away in every second as I pushed. I could feel every bit of energy I had in me slipping away.I struggled to steady by breaths, but I kept panting, even though the nurses assured me everything would be fine, I was still afraid for my child and myself.“Arghhh!” I screamed loudly as I felt another sharp pain.“Luna, just hold on tight, you’d be fine, you know your babies are two, so this will take a while, I need you to be strong for them.” The doctor said encouraging me, but her words could only do so little for me.“Arghhhh!” I screamed again. “I don’t think I can do this, I can’t anymore, please make it stop.” I yelled once more as the tears began to stream down my eyes.I had never felt this kind of pain before, it was so unbearable, like there was a machine inside of me constantly squeezing my insides. I want it to stop so bad.“Luna, I’m going to change your position, okay? The nurse will hold you an
Lessia's POV As I walked out of the building, the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction engulfed my being. I could smell the disdainful surprise on that saucy receptionist as I walked past him. I could tell he did not expect to see me beautifully dressed in the level of confidence I waxed in as I left. It was so obvious he expected to see a broken and downcast woman different from the one that had walked in just moments earlier. That only heightened my pride and the self fulfillment I was already acquainted with.I knew they were all shocked to see me representing kian, because according to their Logic, women shouldn’t be involved in politics. However, I had learnt so much from Kian in so little time.The fact that he didn’t turn me down whenever I asked him about politics made me happy and important. When I was still with Maddox, he often treated me like it was a crime to have knowledge of politics. Whenever he was handling a matter and I wanted to be involved, he would tell me h
Lessia's POV: There I was at the so called Alpha Cabinet once more. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep the thoughts of what they tried to do to me and Kian before, out of my head. The walls of the building steadily resounded the voices, words and fingers of suspicion and accusations they pointed at us that day.I could still remember their faces in the blurry edge of my mind. I could still remember everything.But I was prepared that whatever I was going to be thrown at, I would be sure to defend myself in anyway and give it back to them in full force."Hello, I have an appointment with the Cabinet, I am to meet them in the chamber room" I said to the receptionist that mounted the entrance.There had been a change in location due to an incident that happened recently, so I wanted to be sure I was in the right place.Honestly, I preferred the new location, as it was closer to Kian’s pack. That way I felt safer, even though no where was 100% safe.I noticed the receptionist w
Lessia’s Pov Seeing Kian’s unconscious body lying on the floor filled me with so much adrenaline that I didn’t know when I stood up and started screaming for help.Kian’s body was lying besides Williams body, which gave me a nostalgic feeling once more, about how hospitals reek of the smell of blood and death.“Help, somebody please help us!” I screamed again, my voice echoing in the room. Soon, some nurses came running into the room. “Please the Alpha has been shot, I need you to help him immediately,” I yelled.They came back with a stretcher to take Kian, while I followed behind, until we got to a room where he was being attended to.“Luna, you have to wait here, while we attend to him.” A nurse said. I wanted to insist on going into the room with him, but that would only delay his treatment. So I sat patiently and let them do their jobs.While I was waiting for Kian, some of the pack soldiers arrived. The hospital must have alerted them, I thought.The leader approached me with
Kian’s Pov The confrontation with Williams continued. I couldn’t believe he had been the one responsible for all our misfortunes. I was shocked, to say the least, that all these while I had been so gullible to trust the enemy.It all made sense now, why he never trusted Lessia, how easy it was for Maddox to get into my pack to kidnap Lessia. He was the one who poisoned her and told Sonia about my allergies, so she could kill me as well. If they had succeeded, Lessia would have been helpless, I’m sure he would have sent her back to Maddox, to continue to be his sex slave.“You are beyond delusional, Williams, why would you think I would never fall in love and have my own family? Why would you think I would never find my own mate?”He looked at me in a standoffish manner, and soon burst into a fit of laughter.“Can you hear yourself, Kian? Before Lessia, how many people looked your way, huh? How many women actually there themselves at you? No one, Kian. No one. And you know why?” He c
Kian's POV “You can’t possibly me sure that Williams is the one responsible for your misfortunes.” Jason suggested, but I knew he was only playing kind games.“Tell me, you bastard. Did you make this all up just to distract me from the truth? Did you?” I questioned, baring my fangs into his skin, as blood slowly oozed out.“Why would I make this up, Kian? Of what benefit would it be to me? Besides I didn’t tell you it was Williams, you figured that yourself. Which is a huge breakthrough for you, as you’ve failed to do in the past years.”Jason’s words pricked me. All these while, I had been living with the enemy, eating and drinking with the enemy, telling all of my problems to the enemy.How naive could I be? How ignorant could I be? I chided myself. No wonder Maddox thought me to be a fool, he had been communicating with my Beta all along, right under my nose. That was why he was able to reach Lessia and even Kidnap her.Williams and Lessia. These were the only words that appeared
Kian's POV: Where I intended to begin my investigations was none other than Maddox's Pack house, which was now mine by virtue of conquering and Annexation. I knew that if there ever were a secret agent amongst us, that person would be in affiliations with Maddox.I had some friends in the packs close to his, so I sought for their help. Although, Maddox was a man of many secrets, I was hopeful we would find out something, he surely didn’t take them to his grave.I began to doubt Maddox’s death. We were informed he was dead, but no one ever saw his body, no one was invited to his funeral. Was he even buried? I had no idea. My friends didn’t as well.However, if he were alive, he wouldn’t be working alone. Even if he succeeded in infiltrating my pack, which I knew there was no way that would be the case. Someone had to have been feeding Maddox information, and there was no way it could have been Lessia. That was a main reason I couldn't take William's words as law. He was right for me
Kian's POV: I couldn't count the number of times Williams had told me not to worry on that day.How could one be so relaxed after finding out their mate was poisoned and almost lost their children in the process? Only a man like Williams would suggest that to you.Sometimes I wondered if this man felt things that normal people did. Because there was no way someone who had feelings would say that to me.“Are you saying this because you still don’t like Lessia?” I questioned him as he voiced my gaze.“I have nothing against the Luna, Kian. She’s your mate and the mother of the future heirs to the pack. What could I possibly have against her?”There was sincerity in his words. He had no reason to still dislike Lessia, maybe I was the one reading meaning I shouldn’t to his advice. I had always know Williams to be like that, so there was no need expecting him to be different when it came to Lessia.“You don’t understand, Williams. Someone is out to kill Lessia. First, she was being follo
