Wolfless Temptation Chapter 71
Garrick’s POVI took the hidden tunnels, moving behind the palace walls as I made my most recent trip to the Harem. It was longer but it was far more private than using the halls and I was more protected from the eyes of the King’s constantly present spies. Only a handful of his officials knew about these passageways so I could be reasonably sure none of my recent trips there had been noticed. I held no torch to guide my path, letting enough of my beast to the surface so that I could see more clearly in the dark.I couldn’t get over the image of how the girl had looked when I’d gone to retrieve her from Xaden’s room three days ago; bloodied, beaten─ broken almost beyond what seemed repairable. A dark grimace marred my face even as I thought about it again.She was too young and too innocent for this, but then, weren’t all the others? Wasn’t her little omega wolf friend whose life Mordric had casually ended out of nothing but petulant spite? No matter how many times I asked myself th

Feyre’s POVI didn’t bother to look at the maid as she served my latest meal. I was on my back, as I had been for the past couple of days and nights, staring unblinkingly at the ceiling, heart empty, body bruised and battered, soul forsaken, and mind more or less broken.The only thing I stood up to do was to change position when my back ached too much, or use the restroom, the frequency of which had reduced since my self-induced starvation.The only thing I’d managed to put down my mouth was water and I was quite content to let it stay that way. No matter how many hours passed, or the kind of delicious-looking treats were sampled before me, I was not hungry and I did not want to eat.“You must eat your broth today Miss.” The maid said but I paid her no heed.“Miss, please. The madame will come herself if you don’t eat on your own.” She said, a desperate plea in her voice, but I was too far gone.What more could Esmelda do to me? She wanted me dead either way, didn’t she? What was it

Feyre’s POV“You’re lucky you woke up on your own. You would not have enjoyed the method I would’ve chosen.” was what I heard the moment I returned to consciousness, a wave of anxiety hitting me before I even opened my eyes.His hard, unsmiling face hovered over me, displeasure etched deeply into every line and plane. My breath caught in my throat, unbridled fear stealing whatever words I might have had at the moment. I wanted to slip back into unconsciousness. To disappear into thin air. To die. Yet I could only lie there paralyzed by my terror as his malevolent gaze burned a path down my body. Only as I followed his gaze did I realize I was now completely naked and it was that discovery that stunned me into action.I tried to scramble up but his hand seized my wrist, pinning me to the bed as he made to straddle my thighs. My panic got the better of me, and along with it, a staunch refusal to be his victim yet again. If I would not lose consciousness again, then I would die.I kicked

Feyre’s POVI had never been so grateful for anything in my life. I buried my head in Dymon’s chest as he carried me out of the King’s wing, not daring to look up lest this dream disappeared and I was forced back into a reality of pain, humiliation, and certain death.I also could not stand to see Garrick, even if by accident. Now that I was out of Xaden’s grasp, I could not help but remember the cruelty in Garrick’s as he pulled me to him.He really tossed me in the room with that man for Xaden to do whatever he wanted as usual. Would he have come to scrape up what was left of me afterward? That useless look of regret burning deep within his eyes once again? Anger, sadness, hurt, betrayal. Each washed over me until I was a mess of emotions and I clutched at Dymon’s shoulders, fresh tears blinding my vision.“Shhh. It’s over now.” He murmured as he strode through the halls, steps measured as if he was doing his best not to rock me as I lay weakly in his arms.I was having trouble brea

Dymon’s POVIt had been long since I felt the need to destroy someone. It was an ache in my gut, a deep unsettlement of self that had me constantly on the brink of rage, fighting valiantly not to fall into it.I returned to my affairs, overlooking the state of my empire, and even then, I could not get Xaden Whitewood out of my head, nor the retribution I wanted to visit upon him for his cruelty and disrespect.I had aided his ascension to his empire and asked one small favor in exchange and he had disregarded it so callously. It made me seethe with the urge to punish him for that insult. It was my right in pound flesh after all.Still, as much as I wanted to collect my due from the Lycan King, I couldn’t justify the cost of plunging my Vampires into war once more after centuries of peace.It was not that blood did not spill in Drusden, far from it. Vampires were a bloodthirsty lot, and every other hour, some innocent creature met their end deep in the bowels of my dark city. Engaging

Feyre’s POVFilled with disbelief and gratitude, I cried myself to sleep after Dymon left. By the time I opened my eyes next, it was morning and the Doctor was there.She stood beside me, peering closely at my chart, and seemed to sense I had awoken because she paused, her eyes suddenly flicking down to me.Her smile was as kind as I remembered it the first time and I was instantly soothed.“Good morning Feyre. How are you feeling?”I cleared my throat and pushed myself into a sitting position. She was instantly on the move, reaching behind to adjust my bed and pillows so I could rest my back while I sat. I smiled up at her, her closeness not striking as much fear in me as Dymon had earlier. Was it because she was a woman? Or was it her aura as a person? Either way, I was grateful for it.“I’m much better Ma’am. Thank you so much. For everything.” I said placing as much emphasis on my appreciation as I could.She nodded at me, a smile still on her face.“Well, I’ve done all I can for

Feyre’s POVI spent the next few days in my room engaged in a listless routine of waking, bathing, eating, and staring at the ceiling until I fell asleep again. There were a few nightmares in between sleep schedules that made me wary of dozing off again, but with nothing else to do, I somehow managed to. I was used to passing hours doing nothing but waiting for the next client who felt like abusing me. Now that I was done with that, I wasn’t sure what to do with my time.I hadn’t received any instructions that barred me from venturing out of my room, but I was too wary to dare it on my own. Too used to be cooped up in one place for long periods of time.On the third day shortly after breakfast, the maid that had been attending to me knocked at my door and reentered.I looked up, surprised to see her back so soon. Usually, once she took away my breakfast dishes, I didn’t see her again till lunch and then dinner.That she was here meant she probably had some message or instruction to ha

Feyre’s POVI looked over my chess board with a small frown, aware that I’d been set up but unable to decipher how. My eyes flicked back to my opponent and he stared back calmly at me, his red eyes holding humor, his demeanor completely unconcerned. The ghost of a smile lingered on his lips, not quite there but threatening to rear out at my every triggering move. I glanced back to the board, eyes roving over every piece. There was a trap there, I just knew it, but no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see it. There was an opening around his king that I could checkmate with my Knight. But that would leave my Queen exposed, and I wasn’t sure if I was safe enough to risk her. I’d lost twice now, in pathetically easy ways that made me roll my eyes at myself. I didn’t want to lose again so I took more time before each of my moves, refusing to let the casual, nonchalant way he moved his pieces about the board deceive me. I decided to play it safe and move one of my less important pawns

Wolfless Temptation Chapter 102
Feyre’s POVMy eyes closed, pain and shock emanating from my heart. Something was digging into my chest and closing around my already constricted heart. It was going to kill me—“Dymon stop! He’s tied himself with her! She’ll die if you kill him!” I heard someone— Possibly Garrick— scream.There was a moment of hesitation before the pain regressed as suddenly as it came and I started to heal, a dull ache left in its place.I heard a gleeful, maniacal laugh that could only be Xaden’s but it was far away. Dymon was near instead, cradling me into his arms with all the gentleness in the world, a look of worry on his face.“Are you okay?” He said anxiously. Xaden’s growled, cutting off any answer I might have had.“Keep your hands off my mate you filthy blood-sucker!”Dymon gaze flicked to him for a moment, dismissive as ever. One moment we were on the floor of Xaden’s odd shrine, the next he rose with me in his arms, moving with insane speed to another part of the castle.I didn't recogni
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 101
Feyre’s POVRetribution came hard and fast, a slap cracking across my cheek. I stumbled backward, clutching one side of my face, saved from tumbling to the floor by the wall that backed me. Xaden looked enraged as he glared down at me.“What right have you to refuse me whore?” He growled, his entire demeanor changing within the twinkle of an eye.“I don't—” A loud, rapid knock interrupted whatever it was I’d been going to say. A good thing too because I certainly would have gotten myself killed if I leaned into this anger. All the spite I felt kept bubbling up to my lips and spilling forth from them. A dangerous thing considering who I was talking to. For the first time since I’d felt it, I tried to control some of that boldness and anger that surged through me. It immediately quietened.Xaden noticed my sudden quiescence enough that his golden eye flicked over to me, a curious glint in them, before turning back to the person who had burst in on us without his permission.It was Garri
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 100
Feyre’s POVMy father barely had me for a full hour before I was bundled into a black bulletproof van and whipped away from my childhood home. I hadn’t seen any of my step-siblings and I hadn’t wanted to. Hell, I hadn’t even wanted to see my father. I’d spent the entire time in his custody with my eyes firmly shut, praying to wake up from the horrible dream I was in. He hadn’t said much to me, my father. He’d gruffly asked me if I’d had my first shift now that the curse was lifted. I’d given him a look but hadn’t deigned to respond and after several uneventful tries, he’d left it, and me, well alone.I hadn’t been told but I knew where I was being taken and I dreaded it. I didn’t need to overhear my captors or try to map the direction we were going in. I knew who had made my father kidnap me and give me away immediately without even trying to exploit my newfound powers himself first. I knew whose power and wealth extended through all wolven territories, enough that even the remote isl
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 99
Dymon's POVI should never have listened to Golran. In the weeks that followed my return to Drusden, that one regret was at the forefront of my mind.I had previously thought myself above such petty inclinations, but as day after without Feyre’s presence passed, I couldn't help but think how much I missed her. I fell into a petulant gloom, spending most of my days brooding in my office, thinking about her all the time in between a few productive hours when I got things done.Centuries of a life lived made it easy to put things out of mind especially once they were out of sight. Yet, I found myself indulging in memories, not to mention fantasies, all revolving around this one person.She was a slip of a girl. Barely twenty-one and yet had a wariness to her that belied pain lasting a century. Of course, she hadn’t been so wary the last night we’d spent together. No— then she had been confident and bold, brimming with passion and oozing a desire she’d eventually drowned me with.By the g
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 98
Feyre’s POVIt had been two weeks since Dymon left the island and it wasn't any easier to accept. I tried, for the most part, to act as normally as possible. I went to meals with my family and got to know them. I went for walks through the garden with my grandfather and heard more tales— not just of my mother— but of the island and dire wolves even.I spoke to Dymon, but only sometimes, on the phone he got me. He sent text messages and I would stare at them for hours, days even, before I replied.I was angry, I think, although I did not dare say it. I didn’t think it my place or right to ask why, to tell him not to go. So I remained silent and occasionally told him I was fine whenever he checked in.That he would run so suddenly, without any explanation after the night we shared threw me off entirely. For a moment, I’d thought there was something between us.Something past the desire that was keeping us going.He hadn't even let us entertain the thought, or really talk about it all be
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 97
Dymon’s POVI wasn’t surprised when barely an hour after breakfast, a maid came to request my presence at Golran’s office. The exchange between Feyre and I couldn’t have lasted more than seconds, but it was enough for his sharp eyes to notice and now I suspected I was going to be cross-examined on my intentions or any actions I’d taken on his granddaughter so far. I wasn’t at all ready for it, I had yet to examine my feelings on the drastic way my relationship with Feyre had suddenly… evolved. Still, while I was here, I preferred to sow seeds of goodwill and keep the peace by doing as requested. It would make things easier, not just for me, but for Feyre.With that in mind, I swallowed my longsuffering sigh and followed the maid, allowing her to lead me once again to Golran’s office.He was waiting for me to arrive, his eyes snapping to the door the moment I knocked and opened it. The maid didn’t enter with me and I closed the door behind me before taking one of the seats he silently
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 96
Feyre POVI was in a much clearer head space when I woke up the next morning. I sat up feeling better than I could remember feeling in years and blinked at the half-naked vampire standing a few meters beside the bed, murmuring into a phone. A rush of memories from the night before came tumbling into my mind, resulting a rose tinge on my cheeks. There was a dull ache in my limbs, a pleased tingle between my thighs which hinted that a repeat performance would not be out of place.He turned then, crimson eyes catching my gaze and he paused for a moment as we stared at each other.It took a few more moments, but he rounded up his call, staring at me the entire time until he finally hung up. Even then he didn’t look away. He stalked towards me, an appreciative glint in his eyes that made me shiver. It wasn’t until that heated gaze swept down my body and back, the desire in them thickening, that I realized I was naked. Arousal quickened my pulse and puckered my nipples and I shivered again
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 95
Feyre’s POVThere was a need in me that I couldn’t put my finger on. I didn’t understand it at first, but it had consumed my every thought since I set my eyes on Dymon again, after returning to consciousness. I didn’t know if it was a side-effect of the spell or if it was something else entirely, but I had been inordinately pleased by him and now, I itched with a desire to make him mine.His lips moved over my own, gentle yet firm and I drank greedily, the flames of need fanning ever so higher. Such exquisite pleasure was foreign to me, yet I embraced it with eagerness and glee that I could hardly believe. Dymon himself was very careful, but then, he always was. His hands rested lightly on my shoulders as if he was doing his best to keep me at bay even as we kissed. Discontent licked at my insides, along with that fiercely burning need again and I did the first thing I was sure would assuage it. I pressed closer against him and the action seemed to please him as much as it did me beca
Wolfless Temptation Chapter 94
Dymon’s POVOnce Feyre clung to me, she didn’t want to let go. I couldn’t claim to dislike it, so being the hedonistic creature I was, I eagerly indulged her, slipping my arm around her waist so I could draw her even closer— as close as I could get away with in polite company like this.I ignored the dirty looks the half-breed Elvin witch sent my way, glancing down at Feyre instead. Her purple eyes, brighter and richer somehow, neigh pulsed back at me.“It worked?” She asked, disbelief clear in her voice and a smile tugged at my lips, relief washing through me as the realization hit.She pulled away from me to stare down at her own body and left me mourning the loss of her closeness. Her warmth. Her face held a mixture of wonder and disbelief, even as the realization slowly dawned.“Something feels a little different, but not too much to be honest. I feel… normal.” She said inclining her head as she regarded me. My breath caught in my throat seeing the way her eyes glittered, the unde
