I shove the fabric down the length of his leg, freeing his thick length, it sprang up to in life, little bit of white substance coating the tip Kael's gaze darkened, his lips curling into a predatory smile as he watched me. His eyes burned with unrestrained desire, yet there was a glint of amusement in them, as if he was reveling in my need. “You’re so impatient, little mouse,” he murmured, his deep voice vibrating through the charged air between us. His hand reached up, brushing my cheek before moving to my neck, tilting my head so our eyes met. “But who am I to deny you?” His fingers tightened slightly, just enough to send a shiver down my spine. His dominance was intoxicating, and I couldn’t look away, even as my heart thundered in my chest. He leaned in, brushing his lips against mine, teasing me, until I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him into a fierce kiss. Kael growled against my lips, a sound that reverberated through my entire body.

The run back to the estate was exhilarating, the adrenaline still coursing through my veins. My body felt alive in a way it never had before, and the bond between Kael and me pulsed with an intensity that was both comforting and overwhelming. As we neared the grand hall, the glow of torches and the faint hum of voices reached my sharpened ears. Kael shifted back effortlessly, his human form emerging from the black wolf as though it was second nature. I followed suit, the shift back into my human body less painful but still jarring. I clutched the cloak Kael handed me, wrapping it tightly around my now-exposed skin. "Stay close to me," he instructed, his tone firm but protective. I nodded, sensing the tension in his body. Something was wrong. The air carried a strange scent—familiar but tainted with malice. As we entered the hall, the murmur of the crowd quieted, and all eyes turned toward us. The party that had once been lively was now subdued, an air of unease hanging over th

Kael’s forehead lingered against mine for a moment longer before he straightened, his hand dropping from my waist but not before giving it a reassuring squeeze. He stepped back, his presence still dominating the room despite the growing distance between us. “I have to meet with the council,” he said, his voice steady but carrying a weight I couldn’t ignore. “There are... decisions to be made after last night.” I nodded, though a part of me wished he would stay. “Do you think they’ll challenge you?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. His expression hardened, a dangerous glint flashing in his crimson eyes. “They’d be fools to try.” He paused, his gaze softening as it met mine. “But even fools can cause damage if left unchecked.” I swallowed hard, the tension in the room thickening. “What should I do?” Kael tilted his head slightly, studying me as if weighing his words. “Stay here for now. Rest. I’ll handle them.” The Alpha tone in his voice made it clear this wasn’t a sugg

The run back to the pack house was both exhilarating and unsettling. The cool night air rushed against my fur, carrying with it the scent of pine and damp earth, but my thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion. Elias’s words echoed in my mind, each one chipping away at the fragile stability I had clung to since coming here. My paws hit the ground with a steady rhythm, the forest blurring around me as I pushed myself faster, harder. El was silent, though I could feel her unease mirroring my own. Why now? Why me? The pack house loomed ahead, its familiar shape barely visible in the faint moonlight. I slowed to a trot as I approached, my golden fur glinting faintly. Shifting back into human form, I grabbed the robe I had stashed near the tree line earlier and pulled it over my shoulders. The fabric felt cold against my skin, a stark contrast to the warmth of my wolf form. Stepping into the pack house, I was immediately struck by the quiet. The usual hum of activity had faded, leav

“Stop pacing, you are going to get us caught before we make a move.” El hissed at the back of my mind. “I don’t think we should do this. What if if we get caught? Or worse run into Veronica and you know who.” I muttered under my breath paving the length of my room, small beads of sweat gathers on my forehead, my pulse thudded in me ears. I am leaving. Tonight. I’ll be meeting with Ezra as I told him about my plans earlier. Even though he kicked against it, he eventually agreed and was willing to help me slip pass the night patrol. *I am leaving. Tonight. I need to leave.* The thought repeated itself like a mantra, steadying my resolve even as my nerves threatened to unravel. I couldn't stay here any longer, surrounded by lies and half-truths. Whatever answers I needed, Alice would have them. El, sensing my hesitation, chimed in. "You’ve made your decision, Astrid. Stop second-guessing yourself. Kael will never let you go willingly, and you know it." I nodded, swallowin
