“That’s not our problem! Forget all that! Let’s go two rounds.” Dorien replied dismissively, waving a hand as if driving away his brother’s words.“You want to spar? Right now? After what you just did?!” Reyland retorted, his sapphire eyes wide, spit spraying from his lips as he fought to control his anger that now had a real possibility of being shared through physical action.“You're angry. That’s good. We can use it –” Dorien continued arrogantly as if Reyland’s remarks were irrelevant.“This is not how to get stronger!” Reyland retorted, taking a step toward Dorien, his large, soft hands folded into fists, “Once it wears off, I can’t even hold a kitchen knife!” He growled, his eyes ablaze.“But the skills remain! Why does everything have to be so difficult with you!” Dorien retorted, now matching his brother’s volume.“Difficult? You take another wolf’s lifeblood – his lifeblood – to make yourself stronger, for what? Three hours? And the more y

Marian woke up in her room. Alone.She sat up slowly, reaching into her mind space for Dinka.Still nothing. She mused, her heart heavy.She recalled her father's face just before she fell asleep for the second time and immediately straightened her shoulders.She closed her eyes, reminding herself of why she had returned.Regaining the feeling of the night before, at the mistletoe party.I am my father's daughter.I am not bound to or by anyone in this place.I am my own wolf.Her shoulders drooped as she thought the word ‘wolf’.She hung her head, shaking it slowly, fighting back tears.She swallowed and licked her dry lips.Her head snapped up as her mind carried her through everything that had happened since her return.“Reyland,” she whispered, jumping out of bed.Marian stretched and glanced down at her body.&ldquo

“Marian!” Reyland choked, his pitch an octave higher than he expected, making him flush. The tips of his ears turned the same color as Marian’s cheeks.“What?” She whispered sultry against his lips as he held his face above the water, balancing her up, away from his increasingly hardening member, which seemed to be reaching for her.“Marian, what…look…I’m…you…” he complained, his voice gruff as his eyes fixed on her soft, pale lips.“Hmmm? I can't hear you,” she breathed, her right hand sliding down his left arm under the water.Pale lips? Reyland thought. Alarm bells went off in his head.He released his grip on her waist and pulled himself higher out of the water, pulling her flat against the side of his body, keeping her away from his front.Her eyes widened, moving from his lips to take in his full face. He was staring down at her, holding he

Despite all Reyland’s efforts to keep an open mind, to accept that the she-wolf on top of him did not know what she was doing, his mind was losing the battle to the supple skin pressing and rubbing against his prone body.He had never been this close to anyone in his life, let alone a full-flesh female.Not only was his temperature rising, but his pole, with her leg against it, was also starting to rise.She shifted her left leg against the mounting pressure, rubbing against him, and this time, Reyland could not hold back.He moved, attempting to roll her off him, but she clung to him, one hand grabbing his left breast, while the other, under his right arm squeezed his fleshy side.He groaned, grimacing as her rough palm grazed his nipple.He bit his lip to hold back his voice, breaking the skin inside his mouth.He struggled underneath her as he felt her warm breath on his ear again, his pupils dilating.“Where are you going? I thought you were warming me up?” Marian whispered coyly.

Reyland tilted his head to the side, his brow furrowed.“You said that before. You don’t have to wait with me. I’ll…I’ll only slow you down. Your legs must either be freezing or numb. It’s worse if they’re numb.”“They’re numb,” Marian replied flatly.“Wha-What?! Why didn’t you –” Reyland stared at her, his tiny eyes wide, his cheeks wobbling as his lips shook.He closed his eyes and aspirated, again.“Go inside. I’ll be right behind you. Go through the back, the guards –”“No.”“I’ll slow you down!” Reyland pressed, a slight edge in his voice.“I’ll carry you.” She said flatly.Reyland gaped at her.“Wha– No.”“Why not? You’re cold too, right?”“No. I’m not. I’m fine.”“But.”“Look at me, Marian. Do I seem cold to you?” He asked exasperatedly.She looked closely and eyed him up and down.“No…” she stated slowly, “you don’t seem cold at all.”“That’s because I’m not. Okay? Go in. Warm up. I’ll be right behind you. I promise.” He stated firmly.“But, take the back, okay?” He added.Mar
