XENDAYA. His lips touch my forehead, and despite every resolution I have made, my entire body reacts to his intimate gesture. My heart’s pounding and my breath hitches as I find myself melting into his hold. There’s a deep sincerity in his voice that gives me a glimpse of the man who told me his story in those caverns. The man who I wanted to try my best for… The King I wanted to stand beside for his people… My eyes flutter shut as I listen to the rhythm of his heartbeat. He cares for his people. It’s the one thing I get from his sincerity. I may not be a priority for him and perhaps I am a mate he does not want, but his people are important to him and that is enough for me. We might just have something in common. He slowly moves back and lets go of me and I realise I was completely leaning on him, feeling the exhaustion as I’m back on my own two feet hit harder. I look into his eyes, his intense gaze burning into me, and I remember how angry he was earlier before he promised t
XENDAYA. He frowns slightly as he tries to move his arm but is unable to. The coppery taste of blood in my mouth is a cold warning I need to stop. I pull the sponge from his hand and smack it across his face before I let it go and he catches it, staring at it for a second. I gasp, trying to calm my thumping heart, as I almost topple face forward into the water. “I slowed Nefzaan down and lessened the impact of his element if you didn’t notice,” I reply haughtily as I stare defiantly at him. He’s frowning, an expression of understanding on his face, almost as if something now made sense to him, but it changes to surprise as he looks at me as if seeing me for the first time. “That’s what you were doing… I did feel that he had slowed…” he murmurs, more to himself. “I may not be as strong and tall as you dragons, but I am not weak, Agnarr,” I say, looking him square in the eyes as I grab the soap and begin to wash my body. “I have never called you weak… wolf princess. But I must adm
AGNARR. Pleasure slams through me, breaking the dams on my emotions and self-control. My mind is blank, save the carnal instinct that burns through my veins. I fucking want to ravage her, and I don’t care that she’s exhausted. I need another taste to satiate the hunger that consumes me. The moment she bit into my neck, my hand twisting into her hair as I roughly kiss her shoulder, I was in a fucking haze. I never knew having one’s blood drunk could be so sexually arousing… She suddenly tenses, pulling away. Her heart is pounding, and that’s when I realise with a damning clarity that the electrifying jolts of pleasure are still dancing between us where our skin is touching. What have I done? Has the spell broken fully? I let go of her, as if I’ve been burned and I can sense her panic within my mind? ‘I’ve marked him!’ her thought rings in my head. The words send a rush of cold through me and I touch my neck, feeling the light throbbing where she had bitten me, before I look acr
TWO YEARS AGO. AGNARR. I look up at the sky as I sit on the roof of one of the walls that overlook the carnival below. I remain in the shadows, the large trees from behind casting a roof over my head. No one is on alert, everyone far too content and relaxed as they enjoy the night. The last few weeks have been harder… and I’m finding myself falling into the darkness… All I want to do is kill, kill anyone and anything that gets in my way. The rage that pounds at my head, the frustration that I am a failure and the anger as Nefzaan yet again hurts my people, consumes me. So, I decided to take a little break from everything and come to the place that has become a soothing remedy for me. Here I am, in the Wolf Kingdom… A place that has drawn me for the last few years. I lean back slightly, watching as the wolves below us have fun. A kingdom that is free and at peace… I want this for my people. For them, to live in a land that is more than just rock and molten lava. A small smirk t
AGNARR. I unzip my own pants and pull out my cock. “This will be a story we’ll remember years from now.” She whispers in my ear, “That our first time was in an alley in a small town on the borders of Clair De Lune.” A soft wind blows, and I hug her tighter, feeling drunk with the haze of how this feels. Kissing her neck, I rub my cock against her clit making her moan. In a world where there are no risks or expectations, this would be perfect. “Take me,” she whispers. “Tell me your name.” Her eyes are coated with desire, but there’s also curiosity there. “Ladies first,” I reply softly. “Xendaya Araqiel,” she says proudly. Araqiel… Find the king with the Dragon Tattoo… For he is the one who holds your fated mate dear. “You are the daughter of the Alpha King,” I say now, looking into her face. She nods. “Is that a problem?” The seers’ words now make sense… “Not at all,” I murmur, claiming those lips once more. I reach down and press my cock to her entrance, feeling her breath
XENDAYA. My mind is spinning as Agnarr’s memory replays in my mind. It’s too much to take in; Dad’s reasoning, Agnarr’s reasoning! And then the fact he made me forget it all… That night had haunted me for months… I had still felt a slight ache in my core the following day. It was the night I lost my virginity. I knew I had penetrative sex even if there was no blood. But that was to be expected with the number of accidents and extreme workouts I did growing up. But deep down, I knew something happened and the fact I couldn’t remember had always made me feel uneasy. I never dared utter that thought out loud, but now… I pull back, the way his hands graze my bare skin, sending a shiver of pleasure through me. “You still shouldn’t have made me forget about it,” I say quietly, as I try to get out of his lap, but his hand suddenly tightens on my hips, and I hate that I can feel his cock against my pussy. “I thought we have already gone over this,” he says, making me frown. I brush my t
XENDAYA. I cry out in pleasure, as he begins fucking me with his fingers harder and faster. My pussy clenches, my juices leaking out of me as he hits the spot every single time. Fuck… that’s it! Oh fuck. I can no longer think, my moans filling the room as my orgasm builds. I’m so close. Fuck! “Will you obey next time?” His sexy voice comes. That doesn’t mean I have to stick to it… “Yes.” I moan, knowing if I say no, he won’t let me come and I need that release. A throaty chuckle leaves him as he suddenly pulls his fingers out. Leaving me on the brink of my release. My eyes fly open as he grabs my chin. “That was a lie,” he rasps. “Bad girls do not get to come.” Our eyes meet, my heart thudding as he raises his fingers to his lips, running his tongue along them. Fuck, that’s sexy. His words seem to register when Shayara lets out a whimper of frustration. So, he was going to leave me- “I think this is a befitting punishment, since you are so disobedient, my Dragonette. How
AGNARR. I do not know what to say to her as she wraps the sheet around herself. The moment I woke up, the first thing I realised was the way I had my head buried in her breasts. I like breasts, that was not the issue, but it was too close… too intimate… We were tangled together, and it shouldn’t have happened. She distracts me in ways that nothing else can and it gives me more reprieve and proves a better distraction than spending my energy in my harem. Last night I slept better too… perhaps I was tired, but I know she was also part of the reason. I will have to hide this mark soon because she has now tied us together. I do not want her to become the target for Nefzaan, a way to get to me. Knowing by hurting her that I will feel it… I am sure that is how the bond between wolves works. She leaves the room, and I let her, not knowing what to say. There’s a sudden strangeness in the air between us and I don’t know how to get rid of it. I have never slept beside a woman. Waking up
