All Chapters of Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

LeanderRight in the middle of my conversation with Ever, I knew something was drastically wrong when he glanced over my shoulder and sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes widening larger than I'd ever seen them.Spinning around, it only took me a second to identify the problem.Hycinth wasn't where I left her.Nope. Not only was she gone from Gwen's side, but my little mouse had taken it upon herself to sidle up to two unmated males and stare them down as though they were beef selections on a platter for her choosing."Oh, fuck, no," I snarled.Ever wisely remained silent as he followed me across the training center.Reaching Hycinth, I wrapped a hand around her elbow. "The fuck are you doing?"If I wasn't already shocked enough by Hycinth's behavior before I reached her, I was outright stunned when she jerked out of my grip, Wolf in her eyes, and bared her teeth at me!She gave no answer. Just stared....expectantly.The fuck??My Wolf was a little bit quicker on the uptake, snarling, "

Hycinth inhaled sharply. Eyes still glued down to the floor, her chin went up, her neck extending to the fullest. It was the ultimate gesture of submission, a promise her life was in his paws, he could do with it whatever he chose.My heart raced in my chest because now I suspected his next move. He was going to take what belonged to him. He was going to mark her!I tried to slow him down, make him see reason. We still had no idea if Hycinth even planned to stay after the next three days.But he wasn't listening.He'd fought......and now he would have his prize.I tried to contain my panic. My Wolf marking her was not previously agreed-upon. Hycinth had never explicitly said she was okay with it. But her posture radiated consent. She was too smart not to realize the potential. Did this me she'd changed her mind?!Fuck, my nerves were shot.My anxiety wasn't restricted to only her response. If Hycinth allowed him to mark her, our bond would grow...his attachment to her would substanti

Sweet LunaHycinthMy heart beat out of control. Skin-to-skin. Tingles cascaded up and down my spine. I tried to pull away.Immovable arms tightened around me. "Shh... I'm not going to try to take it farther," Leander's whispered words, breath hot on my neck. "Just be with me...let me hold you."Just hold me? Was that even possible for him? Our bodies were pressed together, no space in between, just hours away from my heat-a potent cocktail just waiting to explode. But as I stood in Leander's arms, my tension bled away. I trusted him. He'd never lied to me."Good girl," he praised, feeling my body relax against him.After a long moment, he finally relaxed his hold and pulled back. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't stop myself, my eyes drifted down, unexpectedly finding soft curls of dark hair. He'd let his pubic hair grow out since our date at the shifter club. And shockingly, by some incredible feat of self-control, he'd kept himself from having an erection.My surprise mus

Violet & CeruleanHycinthI heard Mimi's words of comfort, but her sentiment didn't curb my rapidly increasing anxiety. I couldn't breathe. Something was wrong.The progression had been subtle, gradually strengthening, and I'd been so immersed in the drum beats I hadn't even realized the moist liquid had violated my defenses and crawled down my throat. Now, it burned me from the inside, strangling my lungs, suffocating me.How had I not realized its potency before?What liquid had they used? It couldn't have been water as I previously assumed.I began to thrash, water splashing around us. Instantly, Leander turned and repositioned himself on his knees. One of his large hands grasped the back of my neck, his fingers twining into my floating hair. His other hand wrapped around my chest, locking my arms by my sides and keeping me flat against the water."Leander," I gasped.His grip tightened. "Focus on me, love. You have to relax. You must calm down. Your heart..." his words trailed of

Absence of Temporal TouchHycinthOnce Leander finally got control of his... situation, Gemma repeated the process Mimi had done on me, trimming his pubic hair short and applying topical pain reliever. She placed a narrow strip of spun silk over his hips to discreetly cover his manhood for the next step.Two bands of smooth silk covered my body as well, one over my breasts and the other over my hips.The other four wolves reentered the building. Gwen and Willow walked to my side while Aidan and Ryan went to stand next to Leander. Gwen squeezed my hand, caramel brown irises swirling with concern and affection, but she didn't speak, respectful of the moment.Mimi stepped in between the beds and stood at the foot so that both Leander and I could see her. Before speaking to us, she gave a purposeful nod to the pairs of wolves standing next to each of us.Immediately, they were in motion.I let my head fall to the side so I could watch.Gwen and Aidan walked to the collection of arranged t
