Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-One - The Luna
Tori’s POVIt felt as if my heart was being torn apart, piece by piece. Fran was innocent, yet I’d wondered, as had Calvin. I could see the speculation in his eyes. His expressions were becoming as familiar to me as my bestie’s and I knew there was something wrong.My catch up with Ellie was brief and concerned mainly with the state of Naomi’s health. Then she took me to her locker and changed into street clothes before she drove us back to the packhouse.“You are still coming tonight, aren’t you, even though you’ve found your mate of choice?” I teased her.“If I must.”I knew she was self-conscious about how she looked in a long dress and wanted to put her at her ease. She needed to shine sometime, which was what I told her.The Beta delivered the Alpha’s summons in person. I kicked off, saying, “Why didn’t he just text me?”“He’s forgotten your new number.”The mobile he’d bought me was yet another reminder of him. I knew a mind link was out of the question until I officially joined
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Two - Hard To Take In
Calvin’s POVI needed to get away for a while, if only to hide my un Alpha-like emotion. Elation was mixed with the sudden urge to weep with relief and I couldn’t allow anyone to see me in such a state. Who was this she-wolf to unman me like this?The woman I loved beyond reason or sense.She was enormously fragile and could break at any time, despite the tough front. And I’d used her like a booty call. Mom would be ashamed of me, my father less so; in fact, he’d have probably cautioned me against claiming her.I phoned Isabel to let her know the good news. It was Guy who answered her mobile. She was having one of her spells and I was disappointed to learn that she may not be fit enough to come to our wedding. I told him I would delay the ceremony and insisted he bring her to stay for a while.Pulling rank could be useful sometimes. No, make that every time.I should probably have insisted Issy make the effort to attend the ball as I knew how much music cheered her.“You’ll be next,”
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Three - Does It Matter?
Tori’s POVI was beginning to think nothing had changed. I was still his toy. Yet now he could force me into things by a kind of emotional blackmail he probably wasn’t aware he was using. To test that theory, and despite my curiosity, I called a halt to our anal adventure.Calvin seemed disappointed, yet he praised me for being willing and still being me, whatever that meant.“We must take that trip down south sometime,” he said, caressing the place he’d marked me.I loved how different his growl sounded now.All at once I shot up in a blind panic.“Has Moore left yet?”“Why? Do you want him to join us? A different first.”“He’s watched me before, if you remember.”“But not participated?”Why did it seem to matter so little to him? That was irritating.“Okay,” I said, dipping my toe in the water.“Never!” It came out as a snarl. “Not now you’re mine.”So I would have been fair game before? Something was very wrong in the shifter world and, in my opinion, it started at the top. The Moo
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Four - 'WAX'
Calvin’s POVActing wasn’t a strength of mine but I knew how to appear cold and calculating. Vicious would be a learning curve. Should I pre-warn her? Tori had enough to deal with in any case.The way she was eyeing me now, with suspicion, made me realise how much this could set her back. I had to tell her what to expect, even if that meant admitting I didn’t know the half of it, either.Reluctantly, I showed her the flyer which had come through the mail once I’d approached Tommy. I hadn’t been entirely sure what I was going to do, who I would take, if I would go, and was even less certain of the wisdom of this now.“‘Gore Theme Weekend’. Ugh. You do realise he could be setting his own trap for us?”“It had crossed my mind,” I said. “That may mean he drops his guard.”“I know just where to hit him if he does. ‘The ultimate aim is to make a mess of your slave’. Great. How do they dream them up?” Tori went quiet then. I reckoned she’d reached the so-called good bit. It got even worse ov
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Five - Wild Friday
Tori’s POV I really needed a drink and we hadn’t even entered the room. Those loud women weren’t in agony, they were laughing as if they’d been at the bar too long. I hadn’t expected a mixed scene and Calvin’s lips tightened briefly as one of them bent down to pat her male ‘pet’. “I hate you,” I whispered. “If it’s a woman, think yourself lucky.” “You mean you prefer not to wonder if I’m enjoying being fucked every which way by Goddess knows how many males?” “No, I just meant they’re more likely to make you come.” “Are you saying men are inadequate?” “Tori! You are asking for it.” “And I’m going to get it, by the looks of things.” “Females are less likely to whip you bloody.” “Thanks for that. And how do you know?” He looked angry now. “It’s what I’ve heard.” “So, it’s between orgasm denial and forced orgasm. What a choice!” He kissed me then, possessively and for the crowd, his tongue just about devouring my mouth. “That’s better. It shut you up at least.” “You’re prej
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Six - An Unlikely Friend
Tori’s POVHis designer shirt was already in tatters from the lashes meted out by Alpha Archer yet Calvin never made a sound. He was still unconscious, the head wound needing all of his wolf’s attention in order for him to heal.If there was a scar, so what? I already had my own, both inside and out.What had the flyer said? Something about gore. Calvin would just hate it when he learned he’d been treated like a male submissive and in public, too. Sick remarks were already doing the rounds about him being a switch.I really hoped, for his sake, this wasn’t being filmed.Suddenly I realised that this could mean war. And I had sounded the alarm. I refused to feel guilty. Us females had been in turmoil far too long.My companion was the next to wield a whip. This one was studded with silver and I heard Calvin’s moans with relief – he was coming round! – and an element of trepidation as to how much longer he could last. Pride didn’t kill you, or losing face, and I knew how incredibly stro
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Seven - Desert or Dessert?
Tori’s POVA table had been set for dinner and the guests were all male.“Welcome,” Alpha Thomas boomed. “I understand congratulations are in order. Who’s the lucky man?”I gaped at him, not sure what he meant exactly, though I had a pretty good idea.“Nobody you know,” I lied, fingering my mate’s mark.“Lighten up, Victoria. Aren’t you having fun?”I wanted to tell him he was a sick fuck and no, another minute spent in his company would be nauseating.Instead I said, “Why did you put my employer on display like that?”“A simple flaunting of power. Nothing personal. Come and sit at my feet. My own slave’s lost her head, unfortunately.”Not everyone around the table laughed with him. Alpha Tobias was starting to look extremely uncomfortable unlike his associate, Anthony. The so-called Lycan was present, his face impassive, though when I was in position I could see his clenched fist resting on his thigh.“Remember, she’s off limits, Tommy. According to our code.”The quavering voice bel
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Eight - Mind Links And An Extremely Angry Wolf
Calvin’s POVI came round to see I was in a medical facility and my back hurt. Where the fuck was Tori?The first of several mind links alerted me to the seriousness of our situation. She’d contacted Ellie Cooper who had informed Travis we were in trouble and my Beta was concerned as to my welfare.In response to my question, the medic informed me she’d heard I’d been whipped in public. Thaddeus was steaming rather than whimpering. I was just glad I’d missed the whole thing.I thought about my mate, then. That must have been tough on her and she was all alone with these savage monsters. Well, not quite thrown to the wolves. Jason was on our side, and probably Tobias. And I knew my fated mate was stronger than she believed.I cursed myself for bringing us into this unprepared. What had I been thinking? Endangering my fated mate and Luna. It could mean all out war. If that was what it took to stop this kind of thing happening in future, I was prepared to give the go-ahead to start it.M
