All Chapters of The Chronicles of Wolves and Fire: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

They stood looking at each other for a long moment. Finally, as though of one mind, they each took a step toward other. Vergel dragged her up against his chest, his mouth coming down hungrily on hers. “I want you more than anything,” he whispered against Pearl’s lips between kisses.“I’m yours,” she answered. At least for right now. She thought.Vergel lifted her around the waist like she weighed nothing and stepped off the stage to the first row of seats that were swathed in near darkness. Sitting her down on the edge of one, he dragged his fingers down one of her legs and slowly lifted her ankle. Pearl sat back in the seat and bit her lower lip. The sight of her battered ballet shoe in his huge hand, his dark eyes looking at her with such hunger, it made her stomach warm with need.Slowly, he untied the ribbons of her shoe and slid it off, letting her foot fall gently down. He did the same with the other. Her feet were not beautiful, a result of the pummeling she constantly gave the

Vergel nodded. "There are few females here and our desire to love and cherish a mate is so strong that a Lycan male without a mate is a great tragedy.""That’s very different from my culture. Why can’t Timothy find a woman?""He’s under a prophecy; one that means his death one day soon. Because of this hard fact, Timothy will never take a mate for himself.""What does the prophecy say exactly?""It says that he will be instrumental in helping the Lycan free themselves from the threat of King Edward, but he will die in the endeavour.""Wow, he’s all sacrifice," Pearl muttered with admiration."Timothy would give up anything for his people, including his own life. He may not be able to sacrifice the life of his mate, however, which is why he will never take one."She played with the edge of the blanket that wrapped her. "That’s really too bad. He seems like a great guy. And what about you? What was it like growing up here? Are your parents still alive?""Dead." Vergel sighed."I'm sorry

Finn followed Timothy through the woods, headed in the direction of the commotion in the distance. They’d been alerted by Almera of a disturbance nearby. From the distinctive hawk cry she’d given, it appeared someone was in trouble this time, perhaps a Lycan. So he and Timothy ran flat-out for the spot and hoped like hell it wasn’t some kind of trap.They’d been chasing off King's hunters from the edges of their territory for the last three days, and they were both covered in mud and leaves and badly lacking sleep. This was one of the worst hunter’s outbreaks that he could remember.The sound of a woman’s high pitched scream rent the air and Finn pushed himself harder. It seemed Almera was right, someone was in trouble. It wasn’t a voice he or Timothy recognized, however, so they slowed their pace as they approached and snuck up near the area where the sounds were coming from.A woman kneeled in the leaves with a ring of four King's hunters surrounding her. Her head was bowed, her lon

Later that night, Finn slid his mouth down the curve of her breast and fastened his warm lips over the taut nipple, flicking it back and forth with his wet tongue. She arched her back and moaned as he teased it, radiating pleasure through her. His hand slid between her thighs while she eased her palms down his muscular, smooth back and upper arms. Her mind was lost in a swirl of bliss.Pearl woke with a start, her body humming from the dream. She rolled over, panting. It seemed so real. Waking without Finn in her bed almost hurt.Vergel had wanted her to sleep with him and she’d wanted that, too. But having Finn home changed the dynamic in the household, probably more for her than it did for them. They’d been expecting an arrangement like this, after all. But it was all new for her and she wasn’t sure quite how to deal with wanting two men at once...and being able to have them.Needing to look at Finn, to assure herself that he was, in fact, back in the house, alive and well, Pearl sl

Finn pulled back to watch her face. Her eyelids were heavy and her lower lip was plumped and rosy from his attention. She ran her tongue over it and he watched with rapt attention.“Maybe,” she answered in a throaty voice.Maybe? He gave a short laugh. Right now, she was every bit as aroused as he was.He straddled her legs and brushed his knuckles along her satiny skin. “I think it is past time I showed you just how much you’re mine.”“I’m nothing you can claim.” There was a sudden edge to her voice that gave him pause.“Don’t misunderstand me. I would never presume to try and master your will, sweet Pearl, but you are mine. As I am yours. In fact, I’m happy to admit I am yours, body, soul, heart and mind. I intend to show you just how much.”She opened her mouth, but just then he cupped her breast. He plumped it and drew his fingers softly back and forth over the erect nipple and made her forget what she was about to say. He was not above a little sensual distraction.“Mine, Pearl,”
