Alice's (POV) - Rick stared at me with an unreadable expression while I was being torn by several emotions. A mating bond is the most sacred bond for wolves. Once wolves find their mates. The male marks the female, it is followed by wild sex. After which the female marks the male.It can even happen together during the consummation. Once the mating is done, the bond is complete. They are bound for life. They share their life, feelings, mind everything. Finding your true mate is a gift or a trap, depending on how you take it. No one is allowed to interfere in the mate bond. It is against the law. The male can claim the female, even if she is from his dreaded enemy's camp."Well? Now can I claim my mate?" Lucian said impatiently.Rick held up his hand to stop him."You are in my territory. I will decide what happens, even if she is your mate, you cannot take her away without my approval."Lucian's green eyes flashed with anger. M
Alice's (POV) - I was sitting opposite the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His green eyes stared intently at me. He had folded back his black shirt up to his elbows and I could not stop admiring his hands which were covered with taut muscles."Well, if you are done admiring me, can we proceed with 'the talk'?" He smirked, making a quotation symbol with his hand.I blushed. I do not think I have ever blushed in my life. We were seated in Rick's library/study. I had managed to convince Lucian to discuss our little 'arrangement'. Rick's study was soundproof, which would prevent our conversation from leaking out.Rick was quite apprehensive to leave me alone with Lucian. But he would never hurt me, I knew. Mates did not hurt each other."I wasn't admiring you!" I glared at him.His lips twitched, and he leaned closer and said softly," I can smell your arousal. Do not deny it."I blushed a shade deeper and cleared my throat."Let's sti
Alice "I have one more condition," I said, finally feeling a tiny bit bolder.He sighed again. "What is that?"I sucked in a breath, "I want to spend Christmas and New year with my family. I have been doing so every year. Therefore, I am here."I should have stayed in London, I thought."Hmm, is it important for you?""Yes, very significant," I said eagerly."As a Luna, your presence will be needed at the celebrations back in my place."My face fell."But I will make sure that you spend time with your family as well.""Thank you," I started breathing again.He bent down again and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, "you don't need to thank me, I just want you to be happy. I want to take care of all your needs"'As if I can't take care of mine,' I thought.Then, to my utter surprise, he kissed me on my cheek. It was not sensual, just a chaste kiss one would give to a friend or someone close. But it was en
Alice "Wow!"My anger, resentment, and escape plans were on the back burner. I was busy staring at the tall, lush green trees. There were miles and miles of trees, much more than Jade moon territory."You like it?" Lucian asked, his green eyes reflecting the greenery below."You have a river!" I exclaimed excitedly as I looked down at the Blue Ribbon of water snaking through the deep green. It was beautiful.Then I spotted the buildings. At first, they just appeared like a mass of grey and whites. There was a huge central courtyard, garden, whatever you might call it. The size of a football field. It was surrounded by buildings, several of them. The helicopter landed in this lush grassy courtyard.Avoiding the loud noise and the wind lashing around us, Lucian helped me climb out of the helicopter. The ride had been short, about 45 minutes. I guessed his minions would be arriving by road. The copter flew off. I bet Lucian had a
Savannah bowed to me and said," Pleased to meet you, Madam Luna."I greeted both Katherine and Savannah, they seemed nice. I could hear voices from the inside, but I did not see anyone. I climbed the staircase, following Savannah, who guided me to an ornate set of double doors on the third floor. A large man stood beside the doors, looking imposing. He had short black hair, cut military style; he cocked his eye at me before politely bowing his head. Savannah nodded to the man as he opened the door. I did not have time to say anything because I was soon ushered inside...The room was warm and inviting, with a cosy fireplace in the sitting area. There were several comfortable looking chairs near the fire. A large flat-screen TV sat in front of a full-sized leather couch. Numerous paintings and antiques decorated the area tastefully."These are Alpha Blake's private quarters. The bedroom and bathroom are through there. I will have food and clothing sent up for you. There
I could barely believe I was almost cordial with him, a few hours ago, thanks to the thrilling helicopter ride, and then him carrying me so romantically. I tried to bury such thoughts away. I mean what was I thinking? We would be living together, naturally, he would expect.... Certain things. I was so obsessed with avoiding getting marked, I forgot about this.Us being intimate.My wolf was excited, being the pervert she was. I hated that a part of me was also turned on by the prospect. I was dripping wet already. Last time when he had.... well....done things. The throbbing arousal that he had evoked despite my reluctance...... I bit my lip, trying not to linger on the thought."You know you look very sexy when you do that."He said silkily, his eyes glued to my lips. Seriously, what is this obsession with lip biting? I never got it."Aren't you being a bit dramatic? Can we just call For a truce and forget it?" I tried to reason with him as I felt his hand slowly snaking
Alice (POV) - I don't know what got into me. I stripped off my tee, followed by my sweatpants. Fumbling with the clasp of my bra. I released my breasts. His eyes widened; I have a slim body, but I am top-heavy. It is surprising for others when they find unexpected curves under my dress. My nipples tightened to attention in the chilled air of the room. My panties followed. I could sense his breathing getting heavy. I could not help smiling slightly. I stood silent and straight before him, nervous, the flush of my sudden nudity tinting my skin.Lucian finally moved from his position, but he did not approach me. Instead, he walked towards a dresser and picked up something.A whip? Some degrading sex toys?I had no idea what kind of sick person he was, but if he hurt me, I was not staying, no matter what. He returned carrying God knows what. His eyes fell on me again. I blushed under that heated gaze."My God! How lovely you are," he said a
Alice I hugged myself and took a few short deep breaths, as Lucian left to shower. My nipples were incredibly sensitive, I was fuming and turned on all at the same time!Only someone like Lucian could do both, making me angry and horny at the same time. I got dressed and was contemplating what to do with myself when he emerged from the shower shirtless and wearing a pair of pyjama pants. Darn it! I thought."Well, are you ready yet?" He asked casually while I tried not to stare drool or lunge at him."I am ready," I replied.He stared at me for a few seconds, then strode towards me."You are going to drive all the males crazy down there, you reek of arousal." He said, with a taut face."I..... I can't help it," I mumbled incoherently."Yes, you can, but you are stubborn," he replied, then ran his hand through his hair.He smelled wonderful, musky with a hint of mint. His wet hair was falling on his forehea
