"You told Ophelia I was in the darkened corner, beside the castle when it was Presley you had to wait there." "Yes, my lord.""Why?"Because I was blinded by jealousy, I wanted to separate you two."And gasps resounded.Finlay was interrogating Lewis in the counsel hall that had the council of elders and the Crimson Paw pack. He wanted everyone to hear Lewis as she confessed, so they would all cease from calling Ophelia a barren little slut."So you had this sorcerer do black magic on a grass straw, to make my wife see Ronan as me." "Yes, my lord," Lewis couldn't deny anything. She felt guilty enough to tell lies and so she just remained where she was, with two guards standing beside her so she wouldn't escape.Presley on the other hand stood a few meters away from Lewis. He had been given fresh clothes and was taken to the council hall as well."My lord, she said to kill me if I dare make this known to you or anyone," Presley spoke up when Finlay shifted his gaze to him."Is this t
"She's not here," Arthur answered Finlay who just ignored him and looked around the tavern, in search of a small woman without hair. But he couldn't see. All the women present had hair."My lord," Finn Ravenscort went to meet Finlay and bowed. Everyone else in the tavern was stunned to have the Alpha of the Crimson Paw pack there in the tavern, "I apologize for my son's behavior, he's rather in the mood today."Finlay didn't even respond. He could feel Ophelia's presence even though he couldn't see her and that was the main reason he was ignoring everything else he was being told.Ophelia on the other hand could feel all the hair in her body rising. Finlay had come to look for her and it felt like one of her fabricated thoughts. She had her heart slamming against her chest with force and the ale which she was pouring into a customer's cup had filled up and was pouring over the table.Why did he come?And how did he know she was there?Because he had refused to leave even when Arthur h
"No, don't do this, please." Ophelia could feel it all crashing beneath her because she had gone way too far with her emotions, "just don't fight him."Arthur immediately took his human form and looked at Ophelia."A fight the Alpha wants, a fight he'll get. I cannot let him have you, my lady," Finlay's growling wolf was nearing the side of Arthur slowly, with bared fangs."He'll kill you, he's stronger than you can ever imagine." Ophelia was breathing really hard, she made to pull the boy backward but he shifted.Finlay was enraged to have his wife fear for this lad, to be on his side. He felt betrayed and murderous because it was killing him to see Ophelia with someone else who wasn't him."Please, Arthur! Back out now," this was from Finn Ravenscort who knew the life of his only child and family was at stake."No, father." Arthur shifted into his wolf once more and just as he was about to charge at Finlay, Ophelia decided she had had enough and got in the way."I'll go with you!"
Ophelia wasn't expecting to have a knife pressed to her throat inside the throne room. When the doors opened and she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, she thought it was Finlay returning. Because she had her back to the door.And just then she felt the knife to her throat and she knew it wasn't Finlay."Stay still or I'll slit your throat," the feminine voice had warned sternly, and realization slammed through Ophelia's senses that it was Madelyn.Fear coursed through her whole body, and she did as she was instructed because she dreaded the thought of getting killed by the former prostitute.Finlay told her he sent her away, could it be that she was still very upset and had returned to revenge for being used?Ophelia had her throat working as she let Madelyn lead her out of the room. The guards and servants wanted to attack, but she stopped them because she knew one slit to her throat, she was gone. So they let Madelyn side-step them until she reached Finlay's room and kn
Ophelia woke up the next morning and found herself alone in the room. Finlay had taken her to one of his cottages the previous day, away from civilization. They had ridden one horse because Finlay didn't want her to shift into her wolf. He didn't want her to stress herself.She could recall not uttering a word to him upon their arrival. She had chosen to keep silent because she was still upset over the fact that Madelyn had pressed a knife to her throat, to kill her because of her obsession for Finlay. Although she was glad Finlay was there with her.But he went inside the room. Could it be he had left her there and returned to Easton? Ophelia doubted he did so.She got off the bed and went to stand in the window to take in the view of the blue sky with big patches of white. It rained the entire night but she didn't feel cold. The room was warm and she knew Finlay had lit the lamps.The thought of her carrying Finlay's child made goosebumps rise in her pores. She was pregnant, after t
Finlay thought he was dreaming when he saw Ophelia standing naked a few meters away from him. He had left her in the kitchen to go have his bath when she walked in and took her dress off.His mouth watered when his eyes lowered to the sight of her rosy nipples and mammary glands."What are you doing, Ophelia?" His voice came out husky. He didn't have any clothes on, he was about to step into the wash basin when she showed up. Ophelia cocked her head aside as she watched Finlay's member harden. The tip of it was pink and already had precum attached to it. It was her turn to gulp. Just the way he had pecked her forehead a few minutes ago, made her ache for him and she couldn't even pretend. She wondered if it was the baby making her horny. "I want to feel you inside of me," she said quietly, and then leveled her gaze back to meet his.Finlay's breathing almost hitched in his throat. And for a second he could barely think straight, having her make such a request hardened his cock to
"When you ran away, I went to visit your parents," Finlay blurted out, a few minutes later after they had both washed up and were fully dressed. "What for?" Ophelia queried from where she was running her fingers, on the bed."Thought I could find you there even though I knew that was the last place you'd go," Finlay had his eyes closed when he made this known to her.Ophelia frowned a little at this."And how did my parents behave?""Your father was upset with me over my foolishness. He stood up to me for the first time in his life," And Ophelia's eyes rose upon hearing this from him."I find that hard to believe, Finlay. My father fears you. Trembles at the sight of you.""I understood him, he had every right to speak to me like that. I hurt his daughter," Finlay breathed out and looked at Ophelia. She had pulled her hand away from his hair, so he put it back and closed his eyes. Wordlessly urging her to continue."And my mother, what did she do?" Ophelia asked as she carried on wi
Finlay was in the council hall with all the pack members gathered. It was hours after he was arrested in the cottage and taken to the Crimson Paw's council hall. He was bound in chains for the second time since he moved to Easton. Five people were waiting in line to testify against him on the witness stand, and Elodie, his former mistress, was inclusive.Alpha Bailey, his enemy, and Alpha of the barbarian pack was standing in front of the members of the public, but your Crimson Paw members had divulged and found somewhere else to stand because he was a vicious man. Greatly feared in the Eastern packs."I'd say you're all fools to believe this man when he told you that he was Finlay. I killed that retarded bastard with my sword, and he was twice this man's size," Alpha Bailey jerked his finger towards where Finlay was, in the dock.And the crowd broke into murmurs."My lords, ladies, Alpha Bailey over here is never one to lie over the kills he's made. Of a truth, he was Finlay's great
