I'm not even sure he heard me; Fury`s eyes were so intense. So focused on me, I struggled to decide whether to squirm, lean in, or run away. For some reason, I made a choice. My heart was still raging inside my chest, and I had no idea where the confidence came from. Oh, fuck it! Does it matter what I do or don’t? I nearly died for crying out loud! I’m not only in a foreign country, a whole freaking world! I can do what I want, who ever I want. It doesn’t have to matter why I like it. Because there is no denying it, seeing Fury shine through Toke`s eyes, feeling the presence of that massive beast, it did something to me. My skin felt warmer, and small electrical waves ignited on my skin as his hot breath brushed against it. So feral, wild, so incredibly hot! Quickly, before I could change my mind or second-guess myself, my hands stretched out, snaking behind his neck, up to his hair, before I pulled him against me. A little harsh and sudden, his lips crashed together. His lips felt
I gasped and squirmed under him as his throbbing member pushed inside me. His hand still had a firm grip on my hair, pushing me down towards the mattress as my hands clutched the sheets. A low whimper left my lips as he pushed deeper. Filling up every inch of me, and the throbbing ache between my legs only magnified. A dangerous delight, a perfect balance between pleasure and slight pain. With slow deep thrusts, his cock slid in and out of my swollen entrance. He stroked, pushed, and pounded all the sensitive spots possible on his way. I could feel how his back curled a little as he forced in the last of his cock before he slowly pulled back. It was so easy; my body slowly filled with that trickling and warm anticipation, need, and lust. All I had to do was be there, feel it, and enjoy it: no fake sounds, no fake reactions, no spitting in my hand to keep wet for him. Everything I wanted it to be, everything I've longed to feel here, pushed beneath him without even the possibility of m
Toke`s POV. Jealous! I’m freaking jealous of my own wolf! I know it’s stupid; nevertheless, he is as much me as I am him. That feeling was spreading out in my chest. I should have been over the moon right now! Rubbing in my friend’s faces that I got the runaway, I got all of her! I could still taste her on the tip of my tongue, and it was enough to make my cock twitch in anticipation. This is just freaking perfect! I, Toke, am the first in ages to find my mate. My true, destined mate. The person is supposed to be my other half! And that woman prefers my wolf?! The four-legged creature with canines that drools like an idiot? Fury snickered in my head. His grin was so wide it might just pop out of my head very soon. “Oh, put some ice on that ego and dick of yours! You said it; I am you; you are me. So, she likes US!” I sulked; I was freaking sulking as a damned child as I kicked yet another stone. I sent it flying over the uneven ground right outside the village center. I’d even let
Elisabeth/Eir. It was a rocky and a little uncomfortable start. Back home, the normal me would never seek out the one I decided to fuck for no good reason, for company. But what was I supposed to do? I knew nobody here; I didn’t even know if I wanted to know anyone. I did; however, I knew I felt unsafe walking around alone. Monsters, shifters, magical asshats. I didn’t trust any of them, even for a second. But it was also this place. Everything felt so different, so foreign, and I felt so alone and lost—a feeling I didn’t like. I tried pushing it aside, but it didn’t help. Walking through that little village place, eyes were always on me. I was the outsider, the one that didn’t belong. I was sitting on that edge, feet hanging in the air and watching the ocean. It calmed me like the sea breeze cleared my head, letting me start with blank pages. He told me how they used boats to fish, hunt seals, and sometimes they even caught whales! As he talked, pictures began to form in my head. F
There was no reason for me to be her, not at all. Beside Toke, there was a handful of middle-aged men gathered in that big hall where I first met that Alpha. That I now know is Toke’s dad. The only difference was that they were now all sitting at a long wooden table, and the thrones were empty. Small wooden benches on each side of that massive table were all there was, much like those small cute benches you could see in parks and next to playgrounds. A row of well-burned candles and a couple of silver mugs were lined down the middle of the table. I had started the meeting by filling myself a cup because I was thirsty, and for some reason, I thought it had to be water. It wasn't! Something sweet, a little thick, and with a burning aftertaste. I nearly choked, coughed, and had to cover my mouth not to spit it out. Some older men just hummed a little and laughed in their beards, and others seemed more irritated. Toke leaned down to tell me it was mead. I’ve never tasted it before, and I
Toke´s POV. I knew it was a mistake and knew it the moment I saw her smile. I beamed at her first, feeling like we had finally met at a good moment. That I could make her so happy that she matched my smile. My smile slowly faltered as I watched how her stunning smile twisted. Smug, almost wicked! I knew she was different from her own, but for some reason, I never even thought of her as a cunning or wicked person. Now, I doubted it all. Could she be? The whole day, I’ve been running her errands. I mean, paper and pen? She would have to do with a thin, light leather piece and a charcoal piece like the rest of us. Then benches? Inside the little house. I knew she was up to something; I knew I should demand to know before this all went further, but honestly, I was curious. It also amazed me a little how many of the women that were helping her. They seemed so cheerful, existed. Even the new girls were her, and that one that had been hiding away since she got her. She was having trouble fi
I felt restless, and the pack was restless. Nearly all the females stayed out all night. I had a bad feeling about this, and it didn’t get any better as Eir met me by the door after breakfast and announced they were ready to show us what they had made; with our help, she so graciously added after a little pause. But she shone like the sun where she was standing in the doorway, and there was no place for my worry or suspicions. Shortly after, I did what she asked, bringing the rest of the pack to the old house. The house we all knew as the female’s first stop. It had been building for that back in the days, and never had it been used for anything else. I’m not quite sure why, but I have a feeling it is because we all know, deep down, it wasn’t right what it had been used for, and for them, this house only carried terrible memories and trauma. So, we avoided it. It's as simple as that. Out of sight, out of mind. So I thought. Now, we looked towards the house and nervously shifted our we
"Gather the teams! Send two out back and come up behind them! Send one to the ladies and kids! Collect them all in that new house thingy! Beast team! Shift and do your thing! And water, we need water! Lots of it! The wall is already burning!" "It is dragon fire! It has to be the fay!" I growled and called for Cedric through my link, and I wanted him and my closest warriors and dad by my side as I addressed those cowards! Within minutes, we were all here, dressed in our rugged leathers—plated shoulders and chest, mid-thigh, and down between the eyes. I was covering the nose bridge. It was heavy fighting armor, incredibly uncomfortable to move in, and warm. But it was a direct attack. Our homes, families, and everything we loved and held close was here. As the gates were pushed open, my warriors stepped backward. Their job was to keep our homes safe. Everything and everyone on the inside of this fence was their responsibility the moment I stepped outside. There was no doubt it was th
