Karica's POVMy night was spent tossing and turning, I felt restless and Laila's groaning didn't help either. She wanted to seek Zilver and snuggle with him and somehow my body craved that hulking male as well. I had seen him almost naked and every contour of his body was etched in my brain. In the early morning hours, I finally gave up the idea of sleep when I heard the soft sound of footsteps on my awning outside the window and then Zilver's head appeared carrying a purple flower. I quickly closed my eyes, not wanting to be caught staring at him. After placing the flower in its usual place he was gone but my heart was hammering. Laila was whining to go to him. We now knew he tended the flowers in the morning and that's where we would find him. I finally left my bed. Picked up the beautiful tulip and felt the soft between my fingers before gently touching it on my cheek. The sweet smell of the flower had mingled with the earthly one and I couldn't get enough of him. After placin

Karica's POVI should have been in conversation with Arasia by now discussing the schedule of my sessions with her to understand my powers but here I was hiding in the bathroom because I was soaking wet between my thighs. My juices had flowed in abundance leaving me needy and delirious.I had run from him. One more second and I would have been on my knees begging him to take me whole and f*ck me raw. What was wrong with me?My body wouldn't cool down and all I could think of was him, his rough hands that tightly held me and his hardness that had roughly poked my throbbing core. At that moment if he had wanted to take me I wouldn't have resisted. When did I become so desperate? My body was itching with need, the need to have him between my legs. And then it dawned on me like a bitter reality, my estrus cycle had begun and I was going into heat. It happens every three months. I was sweating profoundly now, every cell seemed to have been supercharged as the Liastronse level must have

Xynathius's POVEntering the room I noticed she was lying on her bed only wearing a thin shirt and panties, her legs were bare and her hair was wet, the braid and flowers were in disarray. With eyes closed her soft chest rose and fell in rhythmic motion. But it was her fragrance that had changed and intensified, in a deliciously inviting way. It was much stronger than what it was before and my instincts were propelling me to jump over and claim her. I shook my head to get my bearings right and carefully ambled towards my sleeping beauty. Her skin glowed with an inviting sheen and I extended my hand to touch her face, a scowl was etched on it. My caress instantly made her relax those facial features, but she was burning up. 'Hug her, it will provide her relief,' Zilver paced in my head, not liking how our mate was burning up. I didn't need to be told twice as I climbed up in bed and collected her in my arms. She instantly melted against my body like butter and purred against my che

Xynathius's POVMy mind swirled only with the thoughts of her warm mouth wrapped around my hardened shaft. The blissful pleasure she had bestowed had left me reeling and yearning for more. Although I had already exploded and now she slept peacefully on my chest, I wanted so much more. What I had with Selia was not a fraction compared to what Karica had made me feel. She was creeping on me like a forbidden vice, taunting me to dare refuse her advances which I couldn't. And yet I knew once this heat cycle ended and her senses returned, this would all be like a pleasant dream. I stole a glance at her serene face which was pressed on my chest, her cheeks were puffed and cherry-tinted because of the heat. Her bare left leg was wrapped around mine and her slim hand rested on my heart. I had wrapped around her small waist. She was in peace and seeing her like that sleeping in my arms, so was I. But something gnawed at the back of my mind, ebbing away this blissful moment, taunting me that

Xynathius's POVIt was the day of the ball and my sister had called me at least ten times since morning, threatening me with consequences if I tried to bail. "I am coming and Karica will accompany me, and we will officiate the dance. I am giving you my word," I reassured her as Kamryn showed me the three-piece tailored suit in a deep purple shade with silk on its lapels and gold buttons. I ended the call and took the suit from him. "You know my taste well," I praised him while rubbing the silk with my thumb. "I am your beta for a reason," he winked and continued, "This is an important day in your life. I am hoping you return with your mark on our Luna's neck." "Patience, Kamryn. Is Karica getting ready?" I hadn't seen her since yesterday. Ladies were keeping me away so I would only see her once she was all primed and dressed up for the ball. "Melsine and Xui are with her, so she is in proper hands, you should change now.""Shouldn't Melsine be resting? She is due any day now, do
