Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 18 Started with a kiss
"Relax, it's perfectly natural," Maine grumbled. "Besides, it's about time we had some fun. Saving yourself for a mate turned out to be a foolish idea. We could have been enjoying ourselves all this time.""How can you say that, Maine? What if we find a second-chance mate? He'd be furious if he discovered we were with someone else...""And if we don't find one? Honestly, Anastasia, get a grip," Maine scoffed. "The odds of finding your fated mate are slim, and the chances of a second-chance mate? Even less likely.""But if there's still a chance...""There is absolutely no chance I'm letting us stay celibate forever. Our heat will come, and it's better to have a reliable partner chosen for that, rather than letting a chaotic mess ensue," Maine argued convincingly.I bit my lip as I pondered Maine's points. She was right. I hadn't experienced my heat yet, but it wouldn't stay that way indefinitely. The thought of being forcibly mated during a heat-induced frenzy, where the strongest mal

Xavier growled, meeting my intense gaze, my boldness and confidence stirring a depth of arousal in him beyond anything he thought possible.I smirked at him. "I'm not afraid of you, Xavier. Quite the opposite. I want you to fill me completely and take me so fiercely that we'll obliterate each other's pain. I might be inexperienced now, but I'm a quick learner, and I promise to draw sounds of ecstasy from you just as you do from me."The husky desire in my voice nearly drove Xavier over the edge. Without wasting another moment, he lifted me effortlessly and carried me to the large bed dominating his bedroom. His eyes hungrily took me in as he quickly shed his shirt and trousers. I forced myself to watch as he slid down his trousers with a smirk, followed closely by his boxers. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. The size of him was intimidating, and the thick head of his cock seemed ready to burst.Swallowing nervously, I couldn't tear my eyes away from him as he stroked hims

We locked eyes in a silent standoff, neither willing to back down until his enraged glare gradually softened.He seemed at a loss, unsure how to resolve this awkward situation with his length still enveloped within me. He cautiously shifted his hips, beginning to withdraw slowly as I winced, closing my eyes against the renewed discomfort.Gritting his teeth against the pull of his conscience, he pushed back inside gently, drawing a slight moan from me as my eyes fluttered closed."I'm sorry, Anastasia. This really was the easiest way. I promise, it won't hurt for long," he murmured, lowering his head towards my chest. He took a nipple into his mouth, nibbling gently at the tip as he started to move within me again.My anger transformed into an unexpected blend of pleasure and disdain. I was torn between wanting Xavier to be as far away from me as possible and desiring him to relentlessly fill me with his seed.Before long, I was panting alongside Xavier as he fulfilled that wish, thru

In truth, I was eager to get to my department early to make sure Eve didn't meddle in my business. Keeping busy was also a convenient distraction from the engagement party I'd be forced to endure later that evening.Xavier nodded slightly, smiling softly. "Do you have everything you need?""Erm, yes, I think so. Just need to grab my coat...""Good," Xavier said, standing swiftly.He neatly folded the Financial Times he'd been reading and placed it on the counter, his intense gaze locking onto mine. A flutter in my stomach made me swallow nervously."I'll drive you this morning." His tone was firm, leaving little room for argument, reminding me of his husky voice from the night before.Weakness invaded my legs as he approached with near-predatory steps, his eyes never wavering from mine for even a second.Maine purred loudly inside me, and for a fleeting moment, I wished I could physically reprimand her. I strongly suspected the wave of desire washing over me was her doing.Xavier chuc
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 22 Who was in your bed!
I froze, utterly speechless, stunned by his bedraggled appearance and the malevolent aura he exuded.I quickly shifted my gaze over Brent's shoulder to survey the chaos he had caused in the office behind him. Evelyn was struggling to get up from the floor, clearly dazed and clutching her head as she staggered forward. A male colleague rushed to her side to steady her, and as she pointed toward my office, I could see the panic etched across her face.Refocusing on Brent, who stood panting furiously, I crossed my arms defensively and found myself unable to prevent a mocking smirk. "What on earth are you doing here?" I asked, maintaining an even tone."Who was it?" Brent growled, his lips pulled back in a menacing snarl.I snorted derisively. "Did you take a stupid pill for breakfast, or has all the time you spent fooling around with Eve finally eroded whatever intelligence you had left? If you want answers, you'll need to ask in complete sentences," I sneered.Brent lunged at me, his a

I chuckled softly. "I'm really proud of what you did, Evelyn. Do you know how many women would have just surrendered and done whatever he asked? The fact that you stood up to him speaks volumes about who you are."Evelyn's face brightened."Thank you, Anastasia. That means a lot," she replied happily before a look of realization crossed her face. "Oh! I nearly forgot, Alpha Calixto will be here shortly to pick you up.""What?!" I exclaimed loudly. "Why?! Damn it!"Evelyn looked at me, confused."I'm sorry, Maine told me to call him to come and collect you... Should I not have done that?"I was fuming. I couldn't believe Maine would reach out to him like that, making it seem as though I needed someone to bail me out. How was Xavier ever going to take me seriously if he constantly thought he had to rush in and rescue me every time things got tough?I sighed heavily, tilting my head back in frustration, feeling my shoulders slump."Do you want me to call him back and let him know it's
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 24 Arouse over him
A shiver of anticipation coursed through my body, and I had to forcibly suppress a whimper as Maine purred with satisfaction inside me."Ooo, a punishment sounds like it would be fun..." she murmured excitedly."You're not helping, Maine!" I snapped internally, infuriated that not only was Xavier issuing orders, but I was also undeniably aroused by the thought of whatever punishment he had in mind."I know I'm not helping... I'm not trying to. I want him to punish us... I want him to—" Maine's voice trailed off with a smug smirk before I silenced her."THAT'S ENOUGH, MAINE!" I roared in my head, shutting her chatter out.Xavier chuckled beside me as he traced his lips gently along my cheek."I can smell you, you know... your arousal," he murmured huskily, causing my heart rate to spike. "You're making me want to sink into your slick wetness all over again.""Well, that's wonderful for you, but I don't have time for this, Xavier," I replied testily, stepping away as his intense gaze fo
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 25 Solution for the problem
Suddenly, he pulled back and growled, "F*ck, Anastasia, what are you doing to me?! I just want to stay inside you, forcing these moans from you every possible way, all the damn time."I whimpered helplessly as I felt myself unravel. Breathless, I moaned and stiffened slightly, while Xavier pounded into me with relentless ferocity. His body tensed, grunting as he pulled me hard against him, and my climax hit just as he emptied himself inside me. The walls of my core milked him of every last drop while he shuddered behind me, panting heavily.I couldn't believe I had just let him take me like this in my own office. Every time I sat at this desk, I'd be reminded of this moment.Pulling out, Xavier gave my bare ass a light pat, smirking as I turned to glare at him, cheeks flushed with heat.He teasingly slipped a finger around the waistband of my panties, flicking the elastic playfully against my skin."I'm going to need to take these," he said, pulling up his trousers and fixing me with a

Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 102 Re-connected
Xavier POVThe group of individuals who had access to the sensitive information necessary to successfully sabotage my business interests was remarkably small. Coupled with this was the fact that security measures within the pack were so meticulously controlled that the culprit could only have been someone on the inside, and alarmingly close to me. This growing suspicion made me increasingly wary of the man I once considered my closest friend.I scowled deeply at the scenery passing by the window as memories of that difficult period resurfaced. I never discovered who was responsible for those issues—they simply ceased without warning. Despite my efforts to provoke the culprits into revealing themselves, they never resurfaced.The cessation of these attacks did not coincide with any deaths or hospitalizations, nor were there any significant shifts in power within the boards of directors, leaving me to ponder over the mystery ever since.As we drove up the long driveway leading to the pa
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 101 Eve Was Fooled
Scowling, she turned around only to be met with a look of horror. She watched the demon beside Lord Thamuz shift from its faceless, genderless form to precisely replicate Xavier's image once more, teasing her with a wink and mockingly blowing her a kiss.Eve's face turned pale as realization set in, her mouth agape in disbelief. Moments later, a wail of disgust filled the corridors, her voice promising violence as the guards dragged her away.Leah snorted, watching Eve's forced exit, and waved casually at the mimic beside her father. "Franklyn isn't so bad, you know? He's one of the few who seem to have an intelligence that others of his kind lack," she whispered to Xavier and me, offering a light salute to the mimic.Alpha King Leo observed Eve's disgraceful exit with a mixture of sadness and fury, now painfully aware that everything he believed about Nerissa and Eve was a complete farce. Guilt surged within him as he felt the once-familiar stirrings of his wolf, a sensation absent f
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 100 Found My Mate
Brent nodded silently, stealing a final longing glance toward where Xavier and I stood, then followed Lord Thamuz as he ascended the stairs.Xavier seemed to shake himself free from whatever had held him captive, lifting his hand to gently cup my face. His eyes searched mine while I mirrored his gesture. "Do you feel that?" I breathed in awe as my fingers trailed down his cheeks and across his lips."Mate..." Xavier growled in a rich, husky voice. He nodded as his wolf surged forward, its presence sitting boldly in his gaze.In all the time I had known him, I had never heard Xavier speak in such a tone, and it sent a delightful shiver of anticipation and longing down my spine as he looked at me."Finally... after all this time in darkness... my fated mate..." his wolf spoke hoarsely, disbelief coloring its voice as it almost cracked. "I found you... I am not... alone... anymore..."My heart leaped to my throat as Maine, my wolf, howled her sadness and grief at his past suffering, reso
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 99 I Would Never Betray You
Leah gently shook her head and let out a chilling chuckle. "No, don't worry. Your stepsister fuck with a low-level demon, and by the sounds of it, she has no idea that it isn't Xavier. From what I gather, they were still going at it when we managed to break in here," she snorted.A wave of relief washed over me as I turned to look sheepishly at Xavier. "I'm so sorry... I didn't want to believe it, but... I saw you... with my own eyes..."Xavier rushed toward me, enveloping me in his arms, holding me tightly as I buried my head against his chest. "I would never, princess. Not in a million years would I ever put us at risk in that manner," Xavier murmured, his fingers gently stroking my hair."As sickeningly sentimental as this is, where the hell is Nerissa?" Leah grimaced, cutting through the moment.A deep, ironic laugh echoed from the doorway to our right, accompanied by soft grunts, as we all turned in unison to face it. "She's in there," Brent intoned flatly. "I put her down for a
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 98 Under The Spell
"I'm sorry. I didn't consider..." he stammered, clearly at a loss for how to act around me now."It's fine. Let's just get out of here, okay?" I murmured wearily, turning to exit the cell. However, my legs wobbled once again, and I had to lean against the door for support."Here, let me help you..." Brent offered softly, as I cursed myself under my breath."No, really... I... oh my goodness..." I stuttered as suddenly, my legs were lifted from the ground.Brent cradled me close to his chest, moving decisively forward. The warmth of his presence and the steady beating of his heart were, for the first time in what felt like ages, a familiar sound that brought me reassurance. I could sense his wolf rumbling in contentment at our proximity, and despite everything, I couldn't help but smile.'He misses us terribly, doesn't he?' I murmured quietly to Maine.'Well, he should have controlled his human better,' Maine scoffed in response.'Maine, think about the magic... if he was indeed under
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 97 Brokenhearted
'Oh, cry me a river, Anastasia. Your feelings are utterly irrelevant. You fell for a man to whom you signed a contract. You agreed to stand by his side as his Luna and partner. You didn't consent to anything beyond that, even with your counterfeit mating mark,' she responded calmly, before sighing and softening her tone.'Listen, I know it hurts, Anastasia, but we don't need a man to complete us. He may feel like home, but he isn't, not really. We are all we need. We are not the same as other females, Anastasia. I refuse to roll over and beg for affection or attention from an Alpha. If he wants me, he will pursue me, and if he stops, then I will let go. I will not fight to keep a male, as I know we are worth far more.'I couldn't help but snort softly despite myself; Maine was right, as always.'I'm sorry, Maine. I should have listened. I was being foolish.''No, you were just sheltered for the majority of your life. I have been kept from you for years while you lived in the palace. I
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 96 What Do You Want?
"Of course I do, you foolish little girl. Why else would I waste some of the best years of my life with a murderous fool like your father? I will destroy him and his family as utterly as he did mine. This isn't just personal; it has been a long time coming," Nerissa snarled."I don't understand..." I frowned, searching desperately for something, anything, to distract me from the sight of Eve trying to seduce Xavier on the screen. Even though we were only contracted mates, it still hurt like hell. He was the last person I ever thought would betray me, yet there he was... stabbing me in the back with none other than Eve.Even though I knew I wasn't truly related to her anymore, it still stung, considering Xavier knew all about our shared history. It just didn't make sense. He had stood by me through everything and agreed with each point regarding Eve. I couldn't wrap my head around why he would suddenly have a change of heart and rush after Eve so eagerly.Even if he was under some sort
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 95 Watching Your Downfall
I had lost track of time since they brought me to this place. Apart from Nerissa and Eve, there were no other signs of life in these depths. As much as I strained to hear anything beyond the closed door, only silence greeted me, amplifying my frustration. The quiet was overwhelming, and my arms had gone numb. Yet, the numbness was preferable to the burning sensation that had coursed through them before.Nerissa returned not long after she and Eve took Brent away to an unknown destination. She entered, humming to herself, pushing a cart with a television perched on top. On the cart's lower shelf, there was a tray with a few glasses and a jug filled with some kind of drink. Whatever it was, I had no intention of accepting it anytime soon. I suspected that a single sip might be lethal.I watched Nerissa with narrowed eyes, following her movements across the small room as she completely ignored me while attending to her tasks. Once finished, she exhaled with satisfaction, dusted her hands
Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond Chapter 94 Plan For Brent
Nerissa perched gracefully on the edge of the table, studying me in thoughtful silence. The room was hushed, save for the muffled sounds of distant voices echoing faintly through the corridor and drifting into the space around us."Ah! It seems our first guest has arrived!" Nerissa exclaimed with excitement as she slipped off the table, stretching her arms in a leisurely manner before her."Now, not a peep, little princess. I wouldn't want you to ruin the surprise!" she giggled, drawing her fingers across her lips in a shushing gesture.I attempted to open my mouth to respond, but suddenly found myself utterly immobilized. A fiery sensation seemed to course through my veins, urging me to scream, while my muscles fought to break free from their invisible restraints, yet remained powerless.Nerissa smirked as she sauntered toward me, her finger trailing lightly down my cheek as she gazed intently into my eyes."Do you like it, Anastasia? Isn't it exquisite?" she whispered joyfully. "Eve
