2. The Offering“What, why?” I demanded.“They are here! You cannot be late or our family will be cast to the Vampire Territory!” she cried.I sucked in a breath. I had never seen that happen before.She pulled a shawl over her shoulders, then grabbed my hand, abandoning our hut and hauling me through the matching homes.It was bloody freezing, the warmth of the fire and wooden floorboards at home changing to damp grass and soft mud. I hadn’t even put on my twine shoes.Apparently, that was less of an infraction than being late.Mother and I raced through the huts toward the bonfire as the music leveled and the villagers fell quiet.The night air was cold and ominous as my mother pushed me into the lineup with the other offerings, all wearing the same provided silk lace dress that I was. They had their twine feet decor on though.Breathing hard, I eyed the dark carriages on the gravel behind the bonfire. There were two of them, both black with a wolf head on the side.Mother patted my

4. The Shadow“Wait…can we stop?” I asked breathily as the feeling tightened inside me. I had no idea why I felt it so strongly, but the shadows felt wrong. They didn’t match the trees.“Why?” Nikolai asked.I didn’t have an answer. I held my hand against my chest as the cold spread, and I shivered hard.The shadow moved quickly from one tree to another, and just as I was sure I was making up shit in my head, two red eyes flicked open, staring at me from miles away, but it was like they were right there.I gasped, shoving back from the window, my heart skipping as fear closed around me. I fell to the floor of the carriage, blinking hard, trying to get the image from my head. Those eyes.“I saw… There was something out there,” I breathed.Nikolai looked at me like I had taken crazy pills. So did the other alphas. Maybe I was delusional. Maybe it was the reflection of the water and the blood moon making the eyes seem red.“It’s a full moon, wolves will be everywhere tonight,” Derik said

6. The FeastThe food. Holy fuck, the food. If I didn’t have a tingling bite from an alpha on my thigh that was still making my blood burn then I could’ve sworn I was in heaven.I never cared about food, it was a means to an end, a by-product of survival instinct, but one meal from the wolves and I had changed my mind.Flavor burst in my mouth. A succulent piece of pork with loud crackling and mouthwatering apple sauce coated my tongue, and it was better than anything I’d ever tasted.I moaned as it slid down my throat, closing my eyes to savor the taste. When I opened them, Nikolai was smirking at me. I glared.“Some of us don’t have the privileges of food with flavor,” I snapped, embarrassed at the way I had fawned over the food like it was the first meal I’d ever had.In my eyes, it was. The village did what they could and we weren’t starving, but it was always dry and not worth getting excited about.Soggy veggies from the garden, dry meat from the slaughter hut, and some grown he

His claw nipped my skin and I sucked in a breath. It should’ve hurt but it didn’t.Instead, it had my body growing even hotter.“Touch me,” I breathed, needing something between my legs to cure the blinding throb.I was so desperate for him, it would’ve been pathetic if it didn’t make him exactly the same way. This big ass wolf, losing control over me, a mere human, a winter born, cursed human.It was intoxicating and had me grabbing his hand, lowering it down my body to the damp center of my thighs.“Not allowed.”He nipped my lips, his fangs drawing blood. But I welcomed the taste. Even welcomed the slight sting that came with the pleasure of his fingers brushing my folds.He was tempted, and I wanted him to give in. I didn’t care if he was allowed or not.If I was giving him my body, giving him my sacred virginity like some token or payment, then he could take it in the form I offered it. Or not at all.I was guessing that wouldn’t go down well.“Please. I need it.”His responding

Nikolai grinned and nodded, sitting up and rolling me under him. He leaned down to kiss me over my neck down to my nipple, yanking the silk down and teasing it.Pleasure suffocated my mind as I tried to talk. Sparks flew in my nerves, igniting the embers burning low in my stomach, making my breaths stubborn through my chest.He kissed down my body, teasing my nipples, my navel, and lower, to the bite. He dragged his tongue over it again and it had me arching, sucking in a breath, an immediate need throbbing in my core.“It’s time, Lorelai,” he breathed against the bite, and a streak of anxiety broke through the pleasure.I shook a little as he came over me, leaning down to press his lips against mine, soft and tender in a way that stole the nerves.“I’m ready,” I whispered back, hugging his waist with my thighs as he brushed my hair back.His fingers moved between us, slipping inside, teasing my clit as I moaned, writhing at the touch, letting the fire he stoked burn away the fear, bu
