WINTER POVAs he spoke, I felt a flush rise up my neck and spread across my cheeks. His smouldering gaze didn't help matters either.Slade pulled me to my feet, taking his time to help me out of my dress, and every touch felt like sweet agony. I wanted to push him away, tear off our clothes, and demand that he take me hard and fast. But I held back, waiting patiently for him."You're perfect, Winter. I can't believe the goddess blessed me with you," Slade murmured.I looked up at him, waiting for him to make a move. "Believe it. Do you intend to fuck me, or will you talk me to death?"Slade chuckled. "I'll, my darling."He moved towards me, gripping my hand and spinning me around so that my back slammed into his chest. He cupped my breasts, nibbling on my ear before leading me towards the bed. With a rough shove, he sent me tumbling onto the sheets."On your knees," he rasped.I did as he said, not minding that my naked ass was exposed to him. I should have been shy, but I wasn't.Sla

SLADE POVPerhaps I should have told Winter what I intended to do - attack the hunters who had taken Britney and Alex captive. But I knew Winter would object to it. She would be ready to bite my head off, reminding me of my promises.I breathed out and stared at my hands, thinking about last night. The memory of the tingling sensation and the sound of my bones breaking still lingered in my mind. And seeing Winter in another light left me feeling conflicted.She had appeared divinely, and I was tempted to think she was the goddess. Her scent and her enthralling appearance had almost driven me over the edge. Again, I could have done awful if I had not taken control.I cursed as everything played back in my mind. Clasping my head, I took a deep breath. I had obtained my powers, yet I was scared shitless. I didn't know where to start, and the familiar feeling of pain and death hung around me like a heavy cloud.Clenching the pen tightly, I scowled as the door opened.Jude stumbled in and

SLADE POVAs I journeyed towards the seer's cave, I passed several working omegas.They tilled the land and tended to the animals in the large field near the hill of the Moon Stone pack.The moon stone pack was the largest in Copperborrow, surpassing even the Royal Moon pack, which I had initially thought to be the biggest in the district.It boasted many things, but the field was one of the best in the pack.It covered half of the settlement and produced various farm products and animals. The field was divided by fences, with sections for grazing animals, crops, and wildflowers ranging from delicate pink primrose to bold orange poppies. Bees and butterflies dart between the blossoms, collecting nectar and pollen.I breathed out as the wind glided around me, letting my eyes wander further around the enthralling landscape.It was no news that the goddess had originally resided in the Moon Stone pack and had blessed it; I believed it was why the pack was the wealthiest in the whole Copp

WINTER POVI had no idea how long we had been in that position (Slade was still inside of me), but the shuffling of feet outside the door brought me back to reality.I squirmed on top of Slade's still-hard dick, attempting to stand."Stay still," Slade mumbled, gripping my waist as he pushed me back into him.Frowning at him, I whispered, "Someone's coming.""I'm not done yet," Slade grunted, thrusting into me again.I gasped as he hardened immediately and locked eyes with him. "You already released; shouldn't you be satisfied?""That doesn't mean I can't go again," he said. "You feel great, Winter, and I want to be forever inside you."I bite my lower lip, melting into him. I couldn't resist him, especially when he spoke in such a manner. Also, I believed Slade knew how to break my resolve and make me give in to him.The footsteps grew closer, and I pushed at his chest. "Someone is definitely coming this way!" I said urgently."I'll be fast," he whispered, pushing me off him, turning

SLADE POV I shuffled towards the infirmary, my thoughts racing with the upcoming battle. Slowly, I pushed open the door, revealing Lisa sitting by Jude's bed and administering medication."Alpha!" Lisa exclaimed as she noticed me. Then she furrowed her brows. "Lady Winter said you shouldn't be allowed to enter the infirmary. She'll throw a fit if she knows.""Would I be sent out even away from my pack? The fact that my mate doesn't want me around, and as the king, should I listen to what she says?" I retorted with raised brows."N...No....!" Lisa stuttered and added. "But Alpha, she cares about you, and it's for your good."Ignoring her, I moved closer to Jude. "How is he?""He's recovering faster," Lisa replied. "Perhaps in a week, he should be out of the clinic.""Good," I murmured. I couldn't afford to wait longer than a week to get what I needed from Jude. His recovery was important not only to me but to the pack as well.I had been planning to attack the Hunters, but everything
