My hands move and pleasure rocks through my body. My cock is rock hard and painfully so but I can't help the desire surging through me. Fuck. My mind pictures Adelaide as she had been just now, her hair in disarray like she had just come out from rolling in the sheets. My mind places me in those sheets with her. Me on top of her and her body, her shapely body, and firm breasts... "Fuck." I chase release like it's the tonic I need to live. "Cain?" My hand stills and there's the sound of knocking at my door. "Cain. Are you in there?" I turn over and groan into the pillow. Fuck all this. "Cainn! Are you in there?" The banging is persistent and I know she won't go away unless I come and tell her to. It's annoying that she can't take hints sometimes, for someone so intelligent she seems to have a problem taking hints. "Cain. I can tell you're in there y'know." Rhys's voice this time and I groan once more. "I'll be there in a minute!" I grab the spray at the stand of my bed a

So apparently stepping out of my room the way I looked yesterday had been a bad idea.I still don't believe it was that bad an idea. Lycans certainly can't be so affected by a werewolf can they?Wrong.I feel like I'm going to melt from all the looks being directed at me. I'm barely halfway through breakfast and I've already lost the appetite to eat. There's a lot on my mind and being the center of attention is not helping.That having been said, where's Cain?I look around for a glimpse of white hair and silver eyes but I can't find him anywhere. I know he doesn't have his breakfast in the cafeteria with the others, but I always like to assume I'm the one who's always absent when he does. I would have waited until he came around, but I don't think it would matter if I'm nothing but a puddle by the time he's here.Another scorching gaze sends a shiver down my spine and I look away from the male who's eyes mine has mistakenly caught.Okay, I need to get out of here.I stand up and look

Cain and Rhys deaden their conversation when they "notice" the Lycan king has arrived and they carry on with eating. I've always wondered why they don't give a formal salute or something like that here, but Lyros doesn't seem to enforce that as a rule and the Lycans under his rule don't seem too inclined to start the habit.Cain's eyes catch mine for a brief second and I wonder what he's trying to say until Lyros walks over to their table and sits on a chair he drags over.If the hall was silent before, it's extra silent now and a smile spreads on Leah's face. I cock an eyebrow up at her and she shrugs, but I can see there's something she knows that I don't.There's something she knows that we all do not and she's the only one who seems to enjoy the awkwardness in the atmosphere. I feel like I'll melt if I sit here any longer so I take my leave.Today is a new day and unlike the Lycan king and the rest of them, I don't plan on spending all of it in the cafeteria.My buckets are waitin

I sleep first when I get to my room.Not because I don't want to respond to Lyros right away, but mostly because I don't want to meet him and have to respond to him right away. It's a complicated relationship and I figure if he's going to hurt me again for being late, then he should just do it.All the pain he's inflicted on me has only gone ahead to make me stronger and I don't think he knows what he's doing when he hurts me. I don't think he hurts other members of his pack, but from the stories i've heard i don't want to rule out the fact that he doesn't.Maybe that's why they're all so hard and stoic. I have seen them laugh, I have seen them grapple with each other playfully. I've seen them relax in each other's presence, but the moment Cain is around all that energy dies down a little bit.Every conversation is carried out in whispers and it's almost like they don't want him to hear what they're talking about. Like they can't afford to have him aware of what makes them so happy.

I lock the doors behind me and she says nothing. The light in my study is dim so I walk over to the curtains and open them.Adelaide stands as still as a statue, even the quivering in her lips has stopped. There's an air of beauty that she has to her, one that makes me want to see her cry for a totally different reason.I know she's crying for Cain, for the punishment she just saw me doling out. I know she's horrified by it.But no one disobeys me. Not even Cain.What did I ask for that was too hard to get? I have watched over him ever since he was a child, a mercy I showed knowing fully well that I ought to have killed him and thrown his little infant body into a stream. I should have done that and forgotten about his existence, but I let him live.I let him into my fold. I gave him strength, I gave him power, I made him what he is today and he will be whatever he will be because of me. I gave him a family!A place to call his own and a roof over his head. And what did I ask for in

He gives me a sword.Lyros hands the sword to me, leaning low so we are eye to eye and he's smiling as he does so. The only thing I can feel is my blood running even colder than it did before. There's nothing I can think of to bring up a spark in me.Nothing that can spark defiance, or hate, or even the need to kill him. Those emotions all lie dormant. Like they're all aware that i would be attempting an impossible feat if i decide to bring any of them out at this moment.I accept the sheathed blade and contemplate pulling it out right here and right now. I know he baits people with his actions, like everyone else is some piece on a chess board he knows how to play.I take the less violent of my two options and bow my head slightly. "Thank you Lord Lyros."I imagine a kick will come afterwards, or a slap, just some act of random violence to get rid of all the tension he's feeling, but nothing happens. He only chuckles and I hear his footsteps as he walks around the room."You can ta

Leah shoos Rhys away for the seventeenth time this morning and I contemplate telling her to just let him in. I know what Lyros is doing. I know why he made Rhys watch and why he made Adelaide witness him breaking my body. Everywhere still hurts. It all still hurts like hell, but it's not the pain I'm scared of, at least not my pain. Adelaide and Rhys are the two people who really make me feel worried. Lyros has set plans in motion and one of his plans somehow involves Rhys and Adelaide. He wouldn't have made them witness that if he didn't. Now all I have to do is figure out what. "Hey, I thought I asked you to go to sleep." I roll my eyes lightly at Leah's words and rise from my sleeping position to sit on the bed. She's barely stable on her feet but there's a glow in her eyes. She's spent. I'm sure she had to take better care not to mend something that wasn't broken in the first place, and spending more time healing me means more time expending her power. Leah is a fountain

"Running away wouldn't help too much would it?" Cain groans like he's heard this suggestion before and I suspect he has. Rhys's scent is wafting into my nose. I'm sitting on the floor outside Leah's infirmary, with my back to the door and my legs propped up in front of me. It's almost noon now and the rays of the sun have bathed the clouds in gold. A feeling of peace settles over me, but it's not the kind of peace you would get from everything being okay with your world. Nothing is okay with my world. The feeling that's wrapping me in its arms is one of weariness. That feeling you get when you know you have to do something but the opportunities for you to do it are looking next to impossible. There should be a way to solve all this right? "Adelaide?" Cain's voice brings me to the present and for a while, I'm lost in how helpless he truly sounds. I always imagined the emotionless tone he used was because he wanted to keep up his hard guy act, but maybe he doesn't speak with anim
