"You know since I have the power to cajole fire, it would be wise to not aggravate me any further…" I said through clenched teeth. He paused his long strides which I suspect he was doing to annoy me, leaned into me, and lowered his face to stop about an inch away from mine. "I hate to burst your bubble, love, but your powers do not work on me," he said in a somewhat conspiratorial whisper, only he was mocking me. I glowered at him. At least that was what I thought I was doing with my narrowed gaze levelled at him but I couldn't stop darting my eyes from his lips to his eyes. The attraction between us was potent. I could hardly draw breath without his male musk enticing and clouding my head, making me desire him in an unnatural way. My chest heaved in annoyance, knowing he must know the effect he was having on me with the subtle smirk at the corner of his lips. And that knowledge made me want to stomp my feet in frustration. He had a look about him as someone who knew what I don't
I lowered my gaze, and discreetly tried to put my hand behind my back to see if I could reach the knot that held the upper bodice of my dress together but I was groping like an idiot. Noting his eyes were on me, I skimmed my eyes to the two doors on the opposite end of the wall behind him, trying to guess which of the two was a bathroom since there was no sign of a wardrobe in the room, I assumed there must be one behind one of the closed doors. Doing a Minnie Minnie miny moe tactic in my head, I decided on the one at the far end of the wall, and moved, walking past him. He didn't budge from his position. 'Jerk,' I cursed in my head but inhaled the whiz of his scent like a bloody junky. "I think you should wash off first. I don't want the stench of humans in the closet," he grumbled just when I was about to reach for the doorknob. 'Okay, this is the closet,' I thought and changed course without saying a word to him. Pushing the bathroom door open, a smile stretched my lips. Th
"Um… trying to get something to wear." "Why were you running?" "I'm naked!" I replied. "And?" he said with an arched eyebrow. "What do you mean and?" "It is just you and I here, " he replied. "I know!" "What is the problem then?" "I don't like walking about naked," I said sheepishly. "That must be new. You enjoy tormenting me walking about naked," he said. I tried to move out of his arms and realised his two hands were now framing my waist and his fingers were gently caressing my skin. I swallowed and my eyes darted in their sockets as I continued to search his gaze he did not act like he was going to let go. And I doubted I wanted him to. Without thinking I stepped forward and my breast pressed against his skin. He took a deep breath and his big chest heaved. When he shut his eyes I drew back a little, reached for one of his hands, and made him stroke the back of his hand against my nipples. Biting down on my lower lip to keep from moaning, afraid any sound might spo
Dane grabbed the intruder by the front of his chest and completely lifted him off of the floor, causing him to dangle in the air. I gasped. The man couldn't be less than six feet six inches. Dane was a few inches taller and even though the man was also bulky in size it appeared Dane was stronger as well. The man grunted and struggled as he brought out a charm necklace and dangled it forward in Dane's face. Something about the necklace gnawed at me. It was as if I had seen it before and when I looked at my fingers, a memory of me weaving the leather chain and preparing the elixir I poured into the glassy gem-like pendant played in my view. It was a diamond, a pure white diamond. I blinked and the images disappeared into thin air. My chest heaved with shock. "You stole from me?!" Dane snarled. "I found it in the woods," a deep low voice emitted from the man, he sounded gruff and breathy. "Leave us!" Dane growled at the man while the order was directed at the guards. When Dane didn'
I went back into the room and waited for him, pacing back and forth I was a mess. My heart thudded at an irregular tempo. Impatience swelled in me. I needed to know what was going on and if Dane would not tell me then I would have to go looking for answers. "Go where though?" I muttered under my breath. "According to that creature, there's a war brewing," I argued with myself still pacing. My eyes settled on the glass wall covered by drapes and I walked to it. I parted the drapes and stood there, scrutinizing the plain. It was dark out but I could see as clearly as day. The entire plain was covered in snow and tall pine trees were like shadowy monsters as far as eyes could see. I lowered my gaze and they fell just to the ground outside the wall. There was a medieval fire pit built at the centre with wooden benches set at the side of it. Slightly away from the sitting area was an outdoor oven built with mud and iron racks lined the inside. I reverted my eyes to the sturdy bench a
My kind was created solely for battle, not compassion, not empathy, and definitely not love. Offsprings of Gala call us Lycans, a half-human half-beast. Some believe we were the first generation of Werewolves cursed by Zeus for trying to trick him into turning into a cannibal. Others believe that we were direct descendants of Selene, the goddess of the moon, the granddaughter of the primordial parents, Gala (mother earth) and Uranus (father sky). The truth is we were direct descendants of the moon goddess, Selene, she was our mother and Zues was our father. We were her weapons of war. And werewolves are simply unfortunate offsprings of Gala, either bitten or scratched by a full blooded Lycan. They were survivals of my kind. And there was no love lost amongst us. After the Titanomachy war, a battle was fought to decide which of the generation of gods would have dominion over the universe. The Olympians gods won and the Titans, offsprings of Gala, were sent to Tartarus as punishm
Like a mere mortal jittery of a new bride, I cooked, cleaned, and did almost anything to keep the memory of her beautiful body out of my head but it was futile. There was an aura about her which made it obvious to me that she was a demigod. An offspring of a god and a human woman perhaps. She was special and beautiful and in my bed. I groaned, running my fingers through my mane. When I couldn't bare to stay away any moment longer, I went back inside my bedroom and sat beside her, reaching forward to run my fingers through her dark curls in utter fascination. A strange feeling of need welled in me as I stroked the side of her face. She had high cheekbones, a small straight nose and lush full lips that made my heart thud faster. I remembered the colour of her eyes was grey like the moon and longed to see them again. My treacherous eyes trailed down her body, settling over the full swell of her breasts under the covers, down to her narrow waist and I wanted to see more. I gently
"I have heard of Lycans, seen one in the Keeper's journal but never actually encountered one but I have seen werewolves – werewolves are cute when they are not trying to eat you. According to what I saw, Lycans are supposed to be ugly and vicious," she said, "you are neither ugly nor vicious," she added, as she nuzzled her face against the corner of my neck. I chuckled, then groaned when she rubbed her naked soft skin against my body. She shifted her frame, moved and lay atop me, using one hand to frame my chin and smiled into my eyes. I held her by her hips, making her part her legs to straddle me. She leaned over to press a gentle kiss on my lips. "What kind of Lycan are you?" Her sultry tone was textured with a mix of curiosity and hunger for me. She couldn't seem to stop kissing and touching me and I didn't want her to stop either. Her touch was like a soothing balm to my very soul. A slow sip of aphrodisiac in my bloodstream. "Before I answer your question, tell me where you ar
