I wish I could bring Kai with me and show him off to everyone in my pack, but right now I can’t guarantee he won’t try to run off at the first opportunity. It doesn’t seem fair to keep him locked up either, but what choice do I have right now? Then there are the females. A guy like him would be instantly popular with them. They annoy me enough as it is, but another alpha that they can try their luck with? No way on the Moon will I ever let them near him without me around to protect him! It’s heartbreaking to be away from him, even if I haven’t gone far, but this additional matter needs my attention now. He probably isn’t happy with being locked up in his room, but I’ll make it up to him as soon as I get back. As I step into the war room, I cast my gaze over my warriors. “What’s the damage?” I ask, my tone taking on a more serious note. None of my warriors appears ready to speak up. I take a deep breath, and ask again, this time louder, “tell me what the damage is.” “Your beta… was
I’m a little apprehensive about sitting next to alpha Cedric. He seems a little odd today, though. He seems much quieter than he usually is. I wonder if something is playing on his mind, but I don’t dare ask questions. I don’t want him assuming I’ve gotten weak.He sits there in silence for a while before finally leaning closer to me. I want to flee, but I have nowhere I can go. As I brace for him to do something strange to me again, he surprises me. Instead of his awkward touches, he leans his head on my lap and closes his eyes.I can feel my heart racing in my chest. Why does his every movement have my heart beating so swiftly like this? Am I really that afraid of him? Or is this something else?Whatever happens, I won’t let down my guard. Eventually, he will get bored with merely teasing me. I never want to be forced into anything, but I wonder if I can even defend myself from him? He is stro
I hadn’t meant for the kiss to go quite this far, but the way his body responded to me had mine reacting as much, if not more than his. Kai was utterly oblivious to the mate-bond between us. I realised this quickly enough, but that didn’t mean I could hold back.My emotions over losing my beta were muddying my thought process, but worst of all was the bond making me think this was a great idea. A fabulous idea, an idea so grand that nothing could go wrong.It wasn’t right, but it wasn’t wrong either.“Oh, ah, Moon,” Kai moaned under me as I focused on his neck, where I could quickly tell his weakness was. That he was getting into this was a good sign and the sound of his pleasured moans made me even needier of his touch.As I drifted my fingers up, I slid them under his top and along his soft, muscular chest. His breathing was rapid and his heart was pounding so hard that I thought it might leap out at any moment now.
The moment Cedric tells me he will pound himself into my arse, my body stirs awake. I hide it as much as I can, but I can’t hide the flush that rises to my cheeks. He had noticed too, and that means I am in deep shit now.No matter how much I protest, he knows my body wakes up whenever he touches me. There’s nothing I can do to push him away. This will be the end of me.Why, oh why in the name of the Moon does my body keep betraying me like this all the time!? What did I do to deserve such punishment from her? Out of everyone in the world that could have beaten me and held me, hostage, why did it have to be some crazy sex-mad alpha such as Cedric?As soon as I hear the door locking behind him, I flop my head back on the couch. I take in a deep breath and then bite my lower lip. There is nothing I can do now. My body has woken up and I need to handle this before it becomes a problem.If I could have, I would have moved into the bathroom, but wa
I have to admit, I never thought I’d have to force myself to hold back in wanting my mate. I could hear every sound he had made in there, and part of me wanted to burst back in and take him. Yet I knew that would only scare him, so I resisted any urge I had.Spending the night taking care of myself, and cooling myself down in the shower, I finished the rest of the night wishing Kai was laying next to me. It's still too soon to wish for such things to happen, and it's a shame that I can't have him beside me now. However, I want him to settle into his new life before I claim him as my mate.Anything less would only make him resent me, perhaps even reject me later on. That is not a risk I would ever be willing to take with him. He is far too precious for me to ever become so selfish.Despite all that, I yearn for him like nothing else. As soon as the morning sun hits my face, I can’t help but rush myself to get ready for the day ahead of me. Though I’m not getting up early for my daily ta
“Asshole!” I yell at the door as soon as Cedric has gone. My body feels frustratingly turned on by that man and now I am wide awake and unable to think about anything else. I’ll never give in to him! Never! It’ll be a chilly day in hell that I willingly give myself to him! I just wish Dereck was here with me so we could plan an escape. We wouldn’t be able to bring our pack with us, but they’re safe enough here. It seems I’m the only one in any danger. However, I’m stuck. There is no way out of this room and no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of a way out. Maybe fighting him off is my only option, but that risks so much and I know I don’t have the power to win against him. I sigh and hang my head for a moment. I can’t sit back and do nothing. Waiting for an opportunity feels like I am wasting my time and soon that will run out. He will want to do more than just kiss me. Closing my eyes, I try to cool off my body and remove any thoughts of him from my mind. I take a mo
So much has happened since my alpha bowed down to Cedric and this pack. I’ve gone unnoticed as Kai’s beta so far, but only because I know exactly how to blend in well enough. He knows I’m a warrior, but he hasn’t paid me much more attention besides that.That is the only reason he didn’t slaughter me on the spot, I imagine. There would be no way he would accept another beta in his pack. Especially not one that can rival his own for the spot. He could have lowered my rank, but the mistrust he would have over me wouldn’t be worth it, I imagine.At least, that is my take on things. I could be wrong, of course. Either way, I don’t need to be his beta. The only loyalty I have is towards Kai. That man has probably gotten himself into so much trouble since we were forced here.I hope they have not hurt him too much. He was forced into the alpha role at the loss of his parents, but he is still very gentle and inexperienced. Plus, no one should ever mark that cute face of his. If someone has h
Still, there has been no sign of Cedric ever since this morning. This isn’t like him at all. What is taking that jackass so long? And why does no one else ever come to visit me except him? Surely he has a beta or someone who can also monitor me?Just as I am about to yell obscenities at the door (again), I hear some exchanges from outside. Then, the door unlocks and to my surprise and delight; I see Dereck standing there with my evening meal.I open my mouth to greet him, but then realise I need to hold my tongue by the way he looks at me. Putting on an act, I huff and mutter, “about time. I’m starving.”If he has sneaked in to serve me lunch, then I can’t let the guard catch on. It could cost Dereck his life!As soon as they shut the door behind us, I quickly wrap my arms around my old beta and hold him close. It’s so good to see him again! I’ve missed him so much and was worried Cedric had killed him off or something just as horrid. He looks completely fine, though! I can’t see a si
