This question and answer conversation, back and forth, is probably the most intimate situation I’ve ever been in. That sounds crazy because unlike my mate, I’m not a virgin. But, I’ve never been this open, this raw, with anyone before. It scares me and it excites me all at the same time. And I love that my mate is being just as open with me. She may have used her food as a reason to collect her thoughts, but she’s being honest, and she hasn’t refused to answer me. However, everything changes when she tells me she wants to feel my tongue on her again. She and I want exactly the same thing. When we finally settle down for the night, I know there is no way I can sleep, so I insist that she sleep while I keep watch. As she sleeps, I realize I’m completely and totally bewitched by this wolf. Besides her incredible beauty, her heart and her goodness make me feel like I’m the luckiest man in the world, just to be near her. I’m sure I’m being a total creeper by watching her sleep, leaning i

Ecstasy. Nirvana. Rapture. There are a million words to describe something that feels incredible, but all of them fall short of the feelings I’ve had tonight. I thought that feeding on someone, feeling their warm blood spread throughout my system while finding my release inside them was the ultimate bliss. Then, I had tasted Leana’s blood and hadn’t even been inside her when I’d found my release, multiple times. The taste of her blood was unlike anything I’d ever tasted before. That is until I tasted her arousal. The taste of something untamed yet beautiful, wild yet floral. The memory and residual taste still teasing my tongue. For the first time since becoming a vampire, my mind hadn’t been thinking about blood at all. I had been overwhelmed with the taste and smell of my mate, more delicious than anything I’d ever tasted, by far. Until I had both tastes together, her arousal and her blood when my fangs had pierced her pussy lips. My body shivers just thinking of it. If you told m

My father’s actions make me wonder if he is the one going against the Guardians. Now, not only do I have to find the woman my grandfather asked me about, but I also have figure out if it’s my father that’s going against the werewolves and the Guardians. I’m almost as angry about being attacked as I am about the missed opportunity with my mate. We had one more night, alone in the woods, but now, we’ll make it to the city before it gets dark. I probably should feed again before going into an environment where I’ll be surrounded by humans. Although, I still have no need or desire to feed. It’s incredibly refreshing to be able to focus on something other than my thirst. We slow down and begin to walk as we get close to the city and the possibility of running into someone that shouldn’t see us moving so quickly. “Where will you go now?” Leana asks me. I turn and look at her, frowning. “I’m assuming that you can’t go back to your grandfather’s castle now that you’ve left that message fo

I can tell that Leana had no idea that vampires had the ability to attach themselves to the ceiling. In truth, you have to be a powerful vampire to do it. I always thought it was a fun trick after I became a vampire. I would practice walking on the ceiling in my grandfather’s castle. Giovanni used to get mad at me, telling me to stop sneaking up on him like a spider, which only made the game more fun for me. Thankfully, Leana stays quiet as the two people enter the room. Her legs are wrapped around me, the documents from my grandfather in between our bodies. She has a straight shot looking down at them, but I have to turn my head. The first person to walk in is the woman from the front desk, and with her is Silas, one of my father’s minions. “Are you sure no one has come in?” he snaps at her. “I’ve been at the front desk this entire time,” she snaps back. Silas looks around the room. I wonder if he is my father’s new second in command. “And the woman said her name was Leana?” he

I had been watching to make sure none of my father’s men followed Leana and her Aunt Grace. However, having a Guardian in attendance at the council has thrown my father into a frenzy and he pulled all his men back earlier today. So, I’m standing across the street from the restaurant where my mate and her aunt are eating, watching from the shadows when Guardian Grace asks Leana about me. How the hell did she see me? “You don’t need to lie to me, Leana. Even without your mother’s gift, I would know that you were lying, and I would hope that you know by now that you can tell me anything.” I watch as my mate takes a deep breath and looks down at her clasped hands. “He’s my mate.” I watch Guardian Grace look at Leana, then reach out and cover Leana's hands with hers. “And your mother doesn’t know, I’m guessing.” “How can I tell her? After everything she endured, it’s like a sick joke that the Moon Goddess is playing on my family. But….” “But you are drawn to him anyway,” Grace says. M
