“We’ll take a road trip and go visit him. Soon, of course. I know he must be curious about why you took a leave of absence from your job.”
“I told him lots about you.”
“Like what?”
“That you’re the big bad wolf.”
“You did not…” His lips parted in disbelief.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t told him that part.” Selene slid her hands up under his shirt and smoothed her palm over his chest. She kissed his lips, parting them with her tongue. “You taste good with chocolate.”
“A little aggressive, are we?” He asked.
“You have candy to wet my appetite but this…” She reached down between them and massaged his manhood. “…will satisfy my hunger.”
His dick pulsed uncontrollably and his testicles were already filling with his seed. If she kept pumping him in her hand, he would explode right here and now. Nick drew a line up the column of her neck with the tip of his nose. “I’ve taken you three times today.”
She arched into him. “Excuse me for being so greedy.”
Nick loved that about her. She knew what she wanted, and obviously she was not afraid to demand it. He stood up with her still in his arms. “Let’s see what we can do about that,” he said, carrying her out of the library, down the hall, and up the staircase.
Once they were in the privacy of their room, he set her down in front of the bed. As he began shedding his clothes, she did the same. She teased him, taking her time giving him a show as she rid herself of her own garments.
Unbuckling the back of her bra, she eyed him daringly. The bra slipped from her fingers onto the floor. His cock grew even more, becoming painfully erect.
His eyes dropped to her red silk panties. The thing was so flimsy and scandalous that he could already see her plump pussy lips against the lace. He licked his bottom lip. “Take the panties off.”
She hooked a thumb on either side of her panties, turned, and bent over as she slid them down her legs. Damn it, he wanted to take her there. He could imagine how tight she would feel just as her virgin pussy had felt around him that first night. He bit into his lips to keep from cursing aloud, and warm precum slowly pulsed from the head of his cock.
A low growl resonated from his chest, and when she peeked over her shoulder to look at him, his gaze burned with lust.
He walked up behind her, pressing his chest to her back. And his dick to her ass. After moving her hair away from her shoulder, he nipped at her neck gently, tasting her cinnamon flesh. His cock slid between her globes and he ground his pelvis against her. He embraced her and delicately massaged her breasts and nipples.
Selene moaned and pushed back against him.
His fingers roamed down the front of her to find her aching clit and wet pussy. His desire for her was potent and his need for release grew with every stroke of his fingertips. He could not wait to see her beautiful face and hear her screams when he brought her to orgasm. He dipped in and out of her and roved over her throat with his tongue.
“I want to make you mine, Selene. Completely.”
“I give myself to you, Nick. You know that.”
He removed his fingers. She whimpered.
“Oh, don’t worry.” He grinned. “I plan to satisfy your every need. Position yourself on the bed.”
Selene lay on the bed and looked at him with those innocent brown eyes.
“Let me see how wet you are,” he commanded. “Play with your pussy.”
Heat engulfed him as she leisurely parted her legs. She slipped her fingers down into her slit and stroked herself. He wished it were his tongue delving between her labia, sucking on her clit, and pushing into her sweet pussy. She tasted heavenly there. He could almost taste her now.
He moaned and grabbed his cock, pumping it as he watched her. “Beautiful.”
“Por favor…”
The way she begged in her native tongue turned him on. “Please what?”
“Take me.” Her hands moved to caress her breasts and squeeze her sensitive nipples.
“Did I tell you to stop?” Nick reached for her hand and her fingers disappeared within his lips. He licked her juices off, savoring it. She tasted just the way he thought she would.
“No…”
Cradling the back of her head with his palm, he took her lips once again. Her body arched against him and she pulled him down on top of her.
Nick dipped lower to take her nipples between his lips. He sucked gently and then firmly on the soft flesh, making the buds harden into perfect cylinders. Taking both breasts in his hands, he pressed them closely together, and then moved from one to the other, teasing them, until she cried out his name.
Her belly shivered as he made a trail down the center of it to kiss her hot mound. She whimpered even more and arched off the bed. He sliced a finger between her lips, stroking her from clit to anus until her legs quaked. Not able to resist her anymore, he buried his lips within her pussy enjoying her like a savory treat. Her moans encouraged him. Her orgasm was his priority. He made love to her with his lips, flicking her clit and tonguing her pussy and anus.
He felt her body tightened and she cried out pleasure.
When her orgasm faded, he pulled her ass to the very edge of the bed and she wrapped her legs around his back. He pushed into her with one long stroke, watching as her eyes glazed over in desire.
He fucked her slowly at first, relishing in how she took him so expertly, milking him to ecstasy. When he felt her tight pussy relax, he pounded into her hard, positioning himself so that he struck her clit on the down stroke.
Soon another orgasm took her. Her cries sounded like a melody. He bit into his lip, fighting to contain himself.
“Again, Nick,” she panted. “Fuck me harder and make me come again.”
His fangs dropped. He couldn’t help himself.
He pulled out of her and flipped her on her hands and knees. She raised her backside and pushed it out toward him. Her pussy lips glistened with their sex juices. Her ass looked like a plump cushion ready to be pillaged. He grabbed her globes and kneaded them. Fuck…he wanted to drive his cock deep within her ass.
Nick slammed into her pussy and his sac tightened against his dick. As he pumped into her with wild abandon, his testicles slapped against her pussy. She raised her face to the ceiling and cried out. He grabbed a fistful of velvety black hair and fucked her intensely. The more she threw her ass back, the harder he pounded.
The power of the wolf spirit consumed him. And he knew in that instant that neither Selene, nor he, nor wolf would be satisfied until they were united by bond.
Selene lowered the top half of her body on the mattress and he almost came inside her. Did she know that this was the sign of submission? An offering of her body to do as he pleased. He pulled out of her pussy and placed his cock, still slick with her juices, against the opening of her anus.
His entire body trembled as he grabbed the fleshy part of her ass and smoothed it.
“Nick…” She moaned as he pushed into her, stopping only halfway.
Her canal was tight and held his dick like a vice.
Once he was deep within her, he began pumping into her ass with careful concentration. Her strangled cries echoed against the walls each time he buried himself to the hilt. He reached around and pleasured her clit.
When Selene’s virgin passage had completely adjusted to his size, she lifted herself up on her elbows. She ground her ass back against his pelvis, swallowing him even more, and then she moved her hair from her shoulder and off to the side, offering her neck.
She was tempting his wolf. Was it pure instinct or had she read too many Caedmon history books? It didn’t matter. He wanted her this way. Forever. Completely. Exclusively.
He groaned and his mouth watered. He bent over her to prepare her shoulder for his bite. He licked the area between her neck and shoulder. He tasted his own nectar as it released from the glands on his tongue. It was the same serum used to heal a wound whi
le in wolf form. It would prepare Selene to take his mark.
“You’re mine.”
Nick struck, and his fangs held her immobilized at the shoulder while he plundered her. She convulsed in climax under him, screaming in gratification. The moment he marked her, complete fulfillment washed over him.
He joined her, throwing his head back and groaning. His molten seed blasted into her, sealing their bond.
When the explosive fireworks were over, they collapsed on the bed in each other’s arms. Neither of them said a word. They only gazed deeply at one another.
Selene was his mate. From this day forward, he would exist only for her.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
“So, what are your plans for this place, man?” Jayson Truman asked as Devin slid the bowl of rolls across the table toward him.
Selene was eager to learn the answer too. It was the classiest home she’d ever set foot in to date. It had everything any family would need, and even came complete with servants.
“My cabin is being expanded into a home big enough for me, Tamara, and our family. It won’t be quite as big as this one, and of course it’s not located in the main village,” Devin replied.
“Well, you’ll certainly be the first leader that won’t live in the Caedmon house,” Jayson remarked.
Of all the Council members, the raven-haired handsome wolf had to be one of the youngest. Selene had seen his last name in several of the history books in the library.
“There’s a first time for everything, besides I’ve gifted the home to Dawson. Once he finishes up his studies, he’ll probably have more use for it than I will.”
Some of them were having mid-day lunch before the Council was set to meet. Selene was scheduled to assist Tamara at the elementary school, but getting up at six in the morning after being mated to a wolf and a long night of continuous lovemaking would have been injurious. Only after a hot bath could she bear to walk down the stairs by herself.
Even now, Nick was seated right beside her. His hand was laid out on her thigh, and the other held the fork as he gobbled his meal. She valued his new-found protectiveness over her.
Everyone jerked in alarm when the double doors to the dinner hall slammed open. Nick dropped his fork. Devin jumped to his feet.
Tamara barged inside with a look of bewilderment imprinted on her face. She doubled over and panted, a card crumpled between her fingers. Devin was next to her in seconds.
“What happened?” He scooped her up and sat her in a chair.
A closer inspection revealed that Tamara’s tights were soaked in blood. Was she hurt? It didn’t appear—
“Elisa!” She screamed.
“Where is she?”
“They took her!”
“What are you talking about?”
Tamara shoved the wrinkled card at him. “I went to go check on her in the science classroom. Ms. Price was dead on the floor. Her throat was...it was…” She sobbed in her hand, and her fingers shook. “Elisa is gone!”
Selene’s heart literally flipped, and she ran over to comfort the other women. Tamara’s whole body shook as she wrapped her arms around her.
“What does it say, Devin?” Nick asked from behind her.
“Darius has replied. He wants more than just land.”
A servant ran into the hall. “Sir!” He bowed his head after coming to stand in front of Devin. “There was trouble in the market. It seems another pack breached our borders.”
Devin growled violently, and pounded a fist onto a nearby wall. Pictures crashed to the floor and when he brought his hand away from the wall, there was an indentation on it. “Put a call out for the other Council members. Now!”
“Yes, Alpha.” The servant nodded, and then backed away.
“What does he want?” Jayson asked, taking the card with the message.
“He wants to fight me. Again,” Devin said.
“Fuck a fight,” Nick growled. “I’m ready to battle.”
“We will.” Devin paced the floor like a wild animal. “I apologize in advance, Nick, but I will kill him.”
Tamara gasped and buried her head against Selene’s chest.
“At this point, it is necessary,” Nick replied. “That bastard has Elisa. She’s only a child!”
“Your bond with Silvia…has it receded?” Devin asked him.
Selene did a double take, looking from Nick to Devin, and then back at Nick again. Had Devin said bond…bond with Silvia?
“There was never a bond,” Nick said between clenched teeth. “That witch betrayed me.”
“Even better. Prepare for battle.” Devin turned to pick up Tamara, scooping her away from Selene with one arm. “I must tend to my mate. We head out at midnight.”
Everyone scurried out of the room. Everyone except for her and Nick.
He held out his arms. Before he could touch her, she jumped back.
“No!” She screamed. “I trusted you!”
“Selene?”
“How could you?” She felt so stupid. He’d been hiding it from her the whole time.
“What is it, Selene?”
“You’re bonded to another? Is this what you wanted to protect me from?”
This time he caught her off guard, captured her, and pulled her into his embrace. “It’s not what you think. Everyone misunderstood what happened.”
She struck at his chest in an attempt to pull away from him, but he was stronger. “Why would you do this to me?”
“I didn’t bond with her. Back then, I thought I did. I was young and stupid. Oblivious to what true love felt like. We were intimate and in a relationship over seven years ago.”
She jerked against him, and bile rose to her throat.
“Listen, please…” He pressed his forehead to hers. “Silvia is a witch. A real one. She was a member of another pack when I first met her.”
“What do you mean you thought you bonded with her?”
“She used her powers to trick me into thinking we shared a bond. She was the only one of her sisters left in her father’s home and not mated. According to her, she was a disgrace to her father. I pitied her.”
Selene swallowed, but the pain only resurfaced. “I asked you about this and you refused to tell me.”
Nick exhaled against her hair. “I was ashamed, Selene. I still am embarrassed about it all.”
“You loved her?”
“At twenty seven, I didn’t know what love was.”
“She used you.”
He nodded. “I’m not the complete victim. She was a woman. Willing and ready.”
“Why would she do something like that if she knew that you weren’t her mate?”
“Because she could. She thrives off manipulating others. That is why she and Darius are good for each other.”
“Then she’s the one mated to Darius, that scar-faced bastard. She’s the one who can’t have children.”
“Yes. Darius, her true mate, came along and all the pieces fell together,” he said. “Darius knows what happened. He holds a grudge and still believes that I have some connection with Silvia.”
“Do you?”
“No. And if I did before, it’s now faded. The bond is only legit through intimacy, companionship, and a true mating…like ours.”
Selene shook her head. “I didn’t want to find out like this.”
He pulled her closer. “Please forgive me.”
“I can forgive you, Nick, but how can I trust you? We’re supposed to have this special bond and now I feel worthless.”
“You’re not worthless. You are everything to me. Our love is real. I am so sorry that I withheld this.”
A sorry wasn’t enough. How could her heart be mended after this? Still she ached to hold him against her despite his betrayal. What was wrong with her? She needed to get away from this toxic relationship before it was too late. She peeled away from him. “Be careful, Nick. I will still worry about you.”
“Don’t worry about me. I live for you now, and I will
return.” He held her gaze for a long while, a wretched expression marking his face. “Will you be here when I do?”
“No.”
His eyes widened for a split second, and then his face softened. “I understand.”
Before she could change her mind, she turned on her heels and ran upstairs to the bedroom.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Nick and Devin pushed forward through the clearing with the other four Council members close behind them. Dozens of other Caedmon male wolves had their back as well. During any battle or dispute, it was customary for the Council to stand on the frontline.
It was eerily quiet around them. Not a rabbit or owl scurried about in the forest this night. What was once a patch of land that was abundant with night critters was now barren. It didn’t take a mad scientist to figure out that they were not alone.
Nick lifted his muzzle to the air, scenting a threat. At the same time, Devin broke the rank, stepped forward and howled toward the moon. It was a call to the opposing side.
Darius met him in the center in human form while a dozen of his followers circled in wolf form.
A beam of light flashed around Devin’s body as he shifted to human form.
“I see you brought a little army.” Darius grinned.
“And I see you’ve recruited a meager band of followers,” Devin replied.
More of Darius’s followers came out of the woodwork.
“Let’s cut to the chase.” Darius began to circle Devin. “Your rise to alpha was a mistake.”
“The only evidence you have to back your claim is your fifty one percent stake in Caedmon lands,” Devin replied.
“Isn’t that what makes us one of the leading packs…the territory? And the followers?” Darius asked.
“Territory is only the half of what defines us. Our values define us. Our morals define us. The culture and the ability to extend the wealth of our people through trade and manufacturing as we’ve done for decades. That defines us. We’ve built a strong foundation for the Caedmon people, but under my reign we will build an empire.”
This declaration caused the wolves that backed Devin to move forward. Dozens of wolves entered the clearing ready to fight on command.
