She was not.
She didn’t want a mate. She didn’t need a mate...."

And though the wolf's assassination attempt on the currently-reigning Romanian Alpha failed, his plans to get Decebel, the Romanian Beta, out of the picture were coming together ev...

“Look at you,” I whispered, eyes locked on her. “So damn wet. So fucking insatiable.” “Maybe I am,” she moaned, legs wrapping around my waist. “Good thing I’ve got five of you.”

Until the night she turned eighteen. A sealed box. Letters from her parents. Visions from the Godd...

Greyson slides his hand under me, stroking over my swollen clit while Jaxen drives into me from behind and Kylen fills my mouth. My vision blurs, the heat building in me like a tidal wave ready to crash. From the bed, Poku groans, his hand stroking slowly over his cock. “Look at her… our goddess on her knees, taking two of us while the rest of us just wait our turn. That’s devotion.”

“ Put me down you barbarian.” I shouted, hitting hard into his back.
‘ SMACK!’
The sound echoed through the dungeon as he slapped me on the ass.
“ How dare you lay a hand on me ? You.. Barbarian!”
“ Behave yourself Little One, or my hand might collide with your perky ass once more.”
“ You wouldn’t dare.” He glared over his shoulder, giving me a smirk. By the looks of that smirk, it clearly showed that he might smack me again.
“ If you want to act like a child, I will treat you like one.” He co...

And if that hadn't been enough......

He rose and moved towards me, my heart picking up its pace with every step he took. His hand stroked the side of my face, causing a tingle to rush through me and I shivered at his touch just like earlier. He leaned in and his breath fanned over my face, hot, weakening, and mind-numbing.

"I don't want to run." I stubbornly stated, worn out with...

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.
