Semua Bab OWNED BY THE ALPHAS: Werewolf Romance: Bab 21 - Bab 30

15. The SuiteI heard Nikolai curse from behind me, then his footsteps chase me down the hall.I only made it down a single corridor before he caught me, wrapping his arms around my waist as I laughed. He swung me back toward my rooms, and I smirked up at him.“That’s cheating. Interference,” I teased, and he grinned, shaking his head.“Get up, big guy, I’ll give you another chance once your boss leaves,” I taunted as Hank coughed, winced, and climbed up the wall, breathing harshly.“Fucking human. Always fighting dirty.” He shook his head, then leaned back against the wall as Nikolai pulled me into my rooms.As soon as we were in, he pushed me against the wall and smothered my mouth with his, my body with his.His hand slid up the side of my face, cupping the back of my neck as I yanked at his shirt, needing it off so I could feel his warm skin beneath my fingers.I gasped as he bit my neck lightly, then lifted my legs against him.“Hank is the only one you play that game with, under

17. The StoriesI woke up with the worst headache I’d ever had. It pierced my brain so strongly, I winced as I tried to open my eyes.“Here, have this,” Braxton’s voice said through the dark in my mind.I blinked my eyes open to see him handing me a steaming mug of something.“It’s lavender tea, it’ll help with the headache,” he said, and I sat up, grimacing at the grogginess in my mind.I leaned against the headboard and took the mug, sniffing it before taking a sip. The heat was soothing, the smell calming.I sighed and put it on the wooden bedside table before looking up at Braxton in the dimly lit room, the drapes drawn, the lantern next to me the only thing giving any light.“How long have you been talking to those shadows, Lorelai?” Braxton asked, and I blew out a breath.“That was the first time they’ve actually talked to me, or manifested in any way other than red eyes. But I’ve been seeing those since the blood moon, the night of the offerings.” I shivered, and he listened in

I wanted to bite back, but I knew he was just looking after his kind.I was human, and I could tell my father their secrets, I could go to the vampires, or worse, the shadows. I couldn’t fault him for that, so I placed my hand on his and smiled.“I know I’m just a human and my word probably means nothing, but I care about them, Hank. I’m not going to do anything to put them in danger,” I reassured him, then turned back to the books and piled them high in my arm as Hank stepped back against the wall and guarded.The same as usual, but the air was definitely lighter so I took that as a win.I spent the next half hour taking in the information I could about the wolves I now lived with.They only need to sleep every forty-eight hours.They are always hungry but never starve. They don’t have to eat unless staying in their wolf form for longer than twenty-four hours.They need sex at least once every lunar cycle (twenty-eight days) to keep the wolf and magic at bay.That little fact had me

“I will not kneel for a human,” he spat, and Nikolai’s claws raked across the beta’s face, leaving three big gashes across his cheek, before his knee came up to his gut.Garrett dropped, hanging his head as blood dripped down his shoulder and over his torso, covering the tattoo.“You will kneel for your alpha!” Kai snarled, before looking over to Taylor. He bent before her, lifting her chin so her eyes met his. “You are nothing to me. Just another pussy that used to occupy my time.”He pinched her lips together, his eyes not leaving hers still as she steeled her gaze against him. “Don’t touch my fucking human.” He shoved her away and stood up, finally looking at me.“Lorelai,” he said, and I went to him. He curled me into him, kissing the top of my head as Taylor snarled. He glared at her, daring her to challenge him.“Is it true? She’s winter born?” she asked, looking at me.Kai laughed at that. “Who the fuck cares? Go get your shit together, pack meeting tonight,” he said, just as B

Not a single wolf rose to the challenge, keeping their heads bowed.Derik nodded. “Good. Now we feast,” he said, and then food was being brought through double doors at the end of the hall by younger wolves.I had read about those earlier. The initiate wolves, the ones that wanted to be part of the main pack and had to go through rigorous hazing-type things for years before they got the chance to be one of the wolves at the table.I watched as they served the alphas first. Steaming hot plates of roasts and veggies were brought out, ale and wine were served, and then the wolves descended into chaos. But a good chaos.They were loud and laughing as they chatted among themselves, roaring and fighting every now and then, but Brax reassured me that it was normal. Three fights a night at least was considered the expectation.The wolves were so much like humans, it threw me for a loop. They could blend in, be human, and the feast was like some kind of family dinner that was almost comfortabl
