Diana stirred in her sleep and mumbled incoherently. She was having that sweet dream again, where she was at the blissful mercy of her brothers.She gasped as Alden pinned her hands above her head. She was gloriously naked, the mounds of her breast hardening under his gaze. The next thing she felt was a pair of warm lips closing over her nipple. She bit her lips, arching her back as pleasure slammed into her throbbing core."Oh," she moaned when another pair of warm lips closed over her other nipple. Her eyes opened and she gasped as expert hands slid down her flat tummy, and slid into her wet entrance."You're so wet, Diana," Alden whispered, his eyes holding her captive."So sweet," Asher whispered from her side, teasing her wickedly with his tongue."So hot," Axek whispered from her other side and grazed the hardened peak of her nipple with his teeth.Diana nearly flew off the bed as desire shot through her bloodstream. Alden dipped one finger into her and she cried out, her orga
"What?" Alden shot up from his seat. "Father you can't really mean...""That's an order!" Alpha Alaric snapped.[What about the rogues we told you about? Who will keep an eye on Diana while we're gone?] Alden asked desperately through the mind link.Alpha Alaric paused, then turned to his daughter with a smile. "Dorian will stay with you. If you want anything, let him know."He leaned down and kissed her hair, then turned and left the dining hall.Diana was now more confused than ever. Why was everyone suddenly acting strange?"Mom?" she turned to Catherine. "Is everything okay? Did something happen last night?""Of course not," Catherine shook her head, putting on a fake smile so Diana wouldn't become suspicious. "Why did you ask?""Dad is acting really weird, and he has never taken Alden, Asher and Axel with him to his meetings." Diana said. "Don't worry about your father," Catherine took Diana's hand and squeezed it softly. "Maybe he wants your brothers for a reason.""But beta D
At first, Diana felt self conscious. All eyes were on her as she walked with Brandon towards the greenhouse where the students gathered to hangout. This was why she wanted her brothers around. Whenever she was with them, she felt comfortable. Thinking of her brothers brought her back to the awkward moment that occurred a few minutes ago."Brandon?" she called softly. "What really happened yesterday?"Brandon suddenly looked uneasy and this confirmed Diana's suspicions. Something had indeed happened last night after she passed out, and they were trying to hide it from her."It's just like the Alpha said, Diana. Just a misunderstanding." Brandon lied, refusing to meet her eyes. "Bullshit," Diana said angrily. "I thought you were my friend. Why are you lying to me? I know something happened last night, and it wasn't just an argument."Brandon remained quiet, silently letting Diana know that he wasn't going to say a word."You don't want to tell me?" she asked after a while. "Fine. Don'
At the council meeting with the ancient shifters, Alden and his brothers were restless. It turned out that Alpha Alaric didn't need them for anything at the meeting because the moment they got there, he told them to wait while he and their mother went into the room where the meeting would hold."Father is trying to keep us away from Diana," Asher growled as he paced back and forth."He can try all he can. We will never reject her." Axel threw the rock he had been spinning away."This is why I never wanted us to tell him." Alden shook his head angrily. "A part of me knew he wouldn't agree.""But what's so bad about Diana?" Axel asked. "She is the kindest and sweetest person ever.""Don't you get it, Axel?" Alden said, clearly frustrated. "Father loves her so much, of course he doesn't think there's anything bad about her.""He feels Diana is our sister, even if it isn't by blood, so we can't be mated to our own sister," Asher explained. "Also, he has this strange conviction that she ca
Diana slowly made her way into the forest, her eyes locked on the spot where she had seen the shadow.There was nothing there, and she would have passed it off as a trick of the light, except she knew she had actually seen something. The forest was dark and eeriely quiet. She usually enjoyed the peacefulness but at that moment, the silence was deafening. The trees didn't even ruffle in the wind and most of the sunlight were blocked out because of the thick tree trunks and branches.After moving stealthily in a particular direction for a few minutes, she paused. There was nothing. She began to really think maybe it had been the trick of the light.But suddenly, a twig cracked like a firecracker in the silence. Turning instantly alert, she stepped behind a large tree and tried to control her breathing. She could hear whispers and she tried to make out the words, but it was inaudible.After a while, heavy footsteps began to approach her and she stilled herself for a fight. If it was a s
"Who do you think you are, acting all proud and mysterious?" Syrena had her hands planted on her hips and she was glaring at the two girls before her. The two girls remained silent and this angered Syrena. They were part of the troop of foxes that always kept to themselves. Syrena haf gone around the greenhouse ordering everyone to vote for her for the upcoming full moon pageant. When she didn't get the desired result from them, she got pissed."Do you know who I am?" she asked. "My father is the alpha's beta and I will not tolerate such rudeness...""Leave them alone Syrena." Diana's voice cut through the atmosphere as she stepped in with Brandon beside her.Syrena faced her and sneered. "Or what? What are you going to do? Fight me?""I bloodied your nose the last time we had a fight, and you couldn't do a thing about it," Diana replied curtly, her voice mocking and degrading. Syrena glared round at the students that laughed at her when Diana made her statement. She couldn't let h
Diana tried to concentrate through out the entire day, but it was difficult, especially as it was the weekend. Her brothers were deliberately ignoring her and it hurt. If it had been a school day, she would have taken her mind off it by doing homework and studying.It got worse when dinner time came and none of them joined her in the dining hall. The maids had to take their food up to their rooms."Dad, did anything happen at the meeting today?" She asked her father casually."No. Why do you ask?" Alpha Alaric turned to her briefly before looking back at the parchment he held."Well, it's weird for Alden, Asher and Axel not to join us for dinner. I was just wondering maybe if they got into an argument."Luna Catherine shot a look at Alaric before continuing her meal."Your brothers are just tasked with Alpha duties," Alpha Alaric lied, which wasn't much of a lie. "You know they are the future Alphas. The council had a discussion with them today.""About what?" Diana asked, losing inte
"Do you want something?"Alden's deep voice caressed her ears. His eyes were half closed, the heat from his body igniting embers within her. How was she supposed to answer that question? Did she want anything? She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to feel every inch of his hard male body. She wanted to feel his hands on her. She wanted to look into his eyes as he parted her legs and filled her with that hard male length..."Diana,"His voice brought her back to the present. Diana blinked, her eyes flying up to meet him. She had lost focus again and had been staring at his lips."I..." she paused and gulped nervously.Alden's eyes darkened when she moistened her lips. His eyes were slowly flickering from gold to brown as he tried to hold in his hunger for her."You haven't answered me, Diana." He whispered huskily."I just... I..." Diana struggled to speak as Alden leaned closer to her. He was so close that if she decided to lift her chin, her lips would touch his."I wanted to see you,
