~Alana~   It was a good ten minutes that Alana rested her face against Alric’s broad chest and it was heavenly. In his arms, she felt at home, protected, and… uniquely, loved. Alana swore she must be going out of her mind. She was this close to deciding how she was falling in love with Kai’s father. How her feelings developed at such a rate was completely bewildering. After some time, Alric loosened his arms around her. With one arm remaining around her back, he cupped her chin and asked, “Feeling better now?” She nodded and smiled sheepishly. As her eyes wandered to her bed, she frowned and asked, “Alric, did - did you sleep on my bed?” A hiss left Alric’s lips but his expression turned mischievous when he revealed, “Yes, in fact… you came at my touch.” ‘Ahh!’ Her insides were screaming. How could she? She thought it was a dream, but apparently, it was real! ‘Did I really cum in my sleep?’ Her body stiffened and h

~Alric~   “Spell it!” Alric demanded. The veins on his neck swelled and his eyes showed only fury.  “F - F - R - E - N - wait! Why am I doing this? And why are you so mean? I haven’t done anything?” Heather snapped and while she tried to act innocent, her forehead was sweating greatly. ‘How dare this woman belittle my son and my Luna? How could she judge without knowing what really happened?’ Earlier, while Alric was taking a call from the governor’s office, he could hear what Heather had to say about Kai and Alana. She even dared to assume how he was a bouncer! Werewolves' sense of hearing were very keen, especially for him, a pureblooded Valmore. Alric could not only hear whispers from a distance, but he could also sense the beating of their hearts. “I heard you earlier. You did not seem friendly. And especially not to my son!” Despite being out in the open, Alric’s voice echoed in the air and it rang repeatedly in Heat

~Alric~   “Mister Valmore, you do not know how this investment will give many of our citizens jobs. Thank you for seeing the potential here in Bay City.” The governor turned to the reporters with a smile. He was proud of the deal he closed with the great CEO of The Valmore Group Of Companies.  Alric, in his towering frame, looked down at the governor and extended his hand to him. He replied, “The pleasure is mine.” He also gazed at the cameras and, with his imposing expression, he spoke, “We look forward to identifying more business opportunities in Bay City in the future.” After signing the contract at the city governor’s office, Alric and his party rushed to return to the Emerald Bay Hotel. Preparations were underway for him to return, and the pack, back at the Port of Valmore, was missing their Alpha.  Same as when they arrived, Alric and his men rode in a convoy. From Alric’s vehicle, he learned from Dean as he spoke in his

~Alana~ As the couple was trickling up the stairs to the restaurant, they covered the details of Alana’s previous treatment. While they had earlier raised their voices at each other, they came into a concession. Still, Alana was unsure if Alric became resolved. She was about to dig deeper when someone called her name. “Alana? What in the world are you doing here?” Her attention was directed to a girl with bobbed hair, her small arms clinging to yet another familiar fellow. It was her ex-friend and ex-boyfriend, Claire and Matt, perhaps out on a date. They were ten steps down from where she and Alric had already climbed. “What else, Claire? Plainly, for the same reason that you are here, to have dinner,” Alana replied, her voice serene, her eyes not wandering to Matt.“You? Have dinner here?” Claire snorted. She asked, “Can you afford it - Oh, wait. Did you

~Alana~   “Ah!” Alana became startled while being wrapped in Alric’s arms. The man easily tore off her lace underwear beneath her gradient empire dress, and he threw it down to the floor. She remained pinned against the door, one of her legs wrapped around his waist and one cap of her dress glided down to her arm.  She wasn’t sure what he meant by heavens, but didn’t that already happen when he smashed his lips to hers?  Her entire body vibrated the second his finger came in contact with her bare core, and in no time, he began fondling with her clit. “Oh, gods.” Alric only took a second to let go of their smooch. He remarked, “You are so wet for me. I can’t believe you are making me wait until next week.” It was because Alana insisted they follow the instructions on the contraceptive package. She was just not ready to have another child, not when she had gone through tough times raising Kai alone and not when
