Rose’s body felt heavy, lazy, and utterly satisfied, but she knew this was only the beginning of the night.“Were we too rough, darling?” Niall’s husky voice resonated in her ear, and Rose shook her head.“No, it was perfect,” she whispered, earning a delicious kiss on her already swollen lips.“The only perfect one here is you. We’re just the luckiest wolves in the universe to have you as our mate,” Maell said, kissing her softly on the collarbone and speaking to her with love.Rose raised her hand to caress his sweat-dampened hair."Niall, the ring, Maell" reminded his brother, who immediately removed the ring he wore on his little finger.“It all happened so suddenly, but please accept this ring for now as a symbol of our love and our marriage. We’ll have a better one made later.”Rose lifted her head and saw the same ring she had pawned when she fled. They had retraced her steps to recover it, and now Niall was gently placing it on her ring finger.Just thinking about how sad and
Michael watched the little princess in his arms feeding from a pink bottle.But instead of being filled with milk like human children’s bottles, this one was filled with blood, as befits the vampiric side of her nature.Her large gray eyes, just like her father’s, stared at him intently while her tiny feet kicked and her chubby hands gripped the bottle tightly.Everything about her was perfect.His baby, who had been so difficult for his mate to bring safely into the world, almost felt like a miracle. At one point, he thought he might have to sacrifice her to save Nagy."I never imagined I could be a father, that a small life could come from me… from us," Amath said, gazing lovingly at his daughter through Michael’s eyes."It’s all thanks to her. She never gave up. She fought to the very end for our daughter," Michael replied, guilt-ridden over the decisions he had made back then.But the desperation of watching Nagy suffer and being powerless to help her, the agony of almost losing h
Milo leapt without hesitation toward his master, but things escalated quickly.BAM!The door, which supposedly no one could open without the access code, burst open, and two massive wolves stormed in, ready to take his head.Milo knew it was impossible for him to survive against the onslaught of these two savage werewolves.How had they found him?! Damn human traitors!He ran toward the egg, planning to use the teleportation device he always carried for emergencies.He would escape, just as he had many times before. But in an instant, the reflection of his eyes caught the silhouette of a shadowy, woman-shaped figure approaching his master.No! No one was taking his Dragon!Milo lunged at the humanoid shadow with its terrifying form, and to everyone’s shock, he managed to grab Rose by the neck, pulling her out of her domain.Rose was horrified as hands reached into the black-and-white realm of her shadow world and forcibly dragged her out.Milo, also a servant, didn’t have the same pow
It seemed easy enough, but just as Milo was about to press the device, his hand tightening on the knife, Aysling attacked him from behind."Now, Rose!"Rose didn’t hesitate for even a second and turned into a shadow to escape.“Ahhh!”"Rose!!" the twins roared at the sound of their mate’s pained scream.“Come to us, Rose, come to us!” Niall shouted desperately, searching for her in the reflections of objects on the floor and walls.Suddenly, a shadow darted toward him, its blackness mixed with evident streaks of blood.“Maell, Rose is hurt!”"I know, I know! Damn it! Rose, drink my blood, drink now!" Maell tore off his jacket, pressing it to the wound on Rose’s neck.“I’m fine, I’m fine, wolf! Aysling—save Aysling!” Rose cried out, her voice faint but determined.BOOM!A devastating explosion of power threw them several meters back, shattering all the glass containers around them.Maell and Niall barely managed to shield Rose with their bodies—one human, the other wolf.“Aysling!” Mae
Aysling's head felt unbearably heavy and aching, with nausea threatening to empty the contents of her uneasy stomach.Fleeting and painful memories assaulted her mind.Azura’s egg had fallen through that vortex of magic, and she had followed it to... where was she now?She opened her eyes, greeted only by darkness. She lay on a hard surface, turned to one side, facing what appeared to be a wall made of animal hides.She was about to get up to explore her surroundings when the sound of stealthy footsteps and murmured voices approaching put her on alert.She tensed as rough, calloused hands began touching her legs, sliding crudely up her thighs.She was wearing some kind of dress, which the man started lifting to reach her intimate area.“Did you think you could escape me?” the raspy voice of a man whispered near her ear, his foul breath brushing against her neck as Aysling pretended to remain unconscious.She didn’t know exactly what kind of situation this was, but one thing was certai
Olivia walked through the kitchen, the knife clutched tightly in her trembling hand.She was still in her white hospital pajamas and barefoot, having dropped her slippers when she jumped, with great effort, over the short fence of her own house.Olivia walked around the dimly lit room.She knew the exact location of every piece of furniture, every lamp, every ornament.This had been her home for nearly eight years, the home she had shared in a marriage she believed to be true and real, but which was as false as all the feelings "her dear husband" had professed for her.The same man who was now upstairs, probably with another woman.Olivia knew it, her sixth sense told her, just as she knew the day her older sister would die.She cried and kicked to keep her from celebrating with her friends, but since she was only an eleven year old girl, no one paid any attention to her.At midnight, her parents were notified that their teenage daughter had been stabbed and raped in a dark alley in t
Olivia had been in this beautiful place for days.As much as her depression tried to drown her, the beauty of everything her eyes saw forced her out of her self-pity.She felt at home, even though she was living in one of the rooms of the inn in this rustic village lost in the woods and mountains. After a journey of days, they arrived here, a picturesque village with houses made of stone and wood, but although they looked rustic on the outside, they had all the comforts of modern life on the inside.It was not a poor or backward place at all, it had a lot of development, it just seemed that its inhabitants liked to be away from the world and curious strangers.She had been here for more than a week, and although Noah tried everything to get her to stay at John's house, she refused, insisting on staying at the inn.She felt that she had already upset her friend too much, that her madness had even put her in danger of being arrested as an accomplice.Dressed in blue jeans with a thermal
- I... I'm so sorry... a Land Rover crossed my path and I couldn't avoid it - she apologized with a flushed and embarrassed face as she showed the innkeeper the masterpiece left over from the accident.- A gray Land Rover? - William asked her suddenly and Olivia nodded silently, thinking it was the last question she expected to hear.- It's all right, accidents happen, don't worry, a few hammer blows to the old thing and it'll be as good as new - he said without giving the matter much thought.- Paul, come and help bring the crates down! He called to the kitchen boy.- Here's your pay - he said to Olivia, handing her some bills that were actually much more than she expected. It seemed she was in such a precarious situation that everyone was giving her money today- No, no, that's not necessary, in fact that man gave me this money as compensation and I want you to deduct the repair of the car, I don't know how much it will be- she confessed the truth and handed him the wad of bills th
