O'Chantal

I dodged his hand by twisting away. “I told you not to touch me.” “I just gave you pleasure,” Valen skited like it was a great achievement to boast about. He felt no guilt for his earlier sin. “I did not ask you to.” I retaliated. It was wrong of me to fall victim to his allure. It was purely Zeus’ fault. His wolf was nicer. “You like it though.” His voice was low and throaty with a triumphant grin. D*mn his ego! “You didn’t want me to stop before.” Blood rushed to my face and I blushed in shame as he stared at me. I stretched for a pillow and sailed it at him. He caught it with a chuckle. - Alpha Prince Valen, the next in-line to be Alpha King, has been Raina's crush since childhood. For years she yearned for the attention that he never gave.

“Are you going to make this difficult for me?” I had no right to pressure him to accept the rejection when who knows what the hell Curtis was up to. “Are you going to force me to date you?” I felt like ranting. “You have slept with half of the pack and you expect me to believe that you didn’t have some cheap hussy in your life?” My mate frowned, “I slept with a few women. I kept one or two for sexual release but that was all.” He studied my facial expression of disgust. “I have you now so I don’t need them. You will satisfy me in every way and I will do everything to make you happy.” “We are not fairytale characters, and I am not going to be your s*x tool.” I wanted my resistance to be adamant. “There’s no happy ending for us.” “I beg to differ. You are drawn to me just as I am to you.” He smirked as he leaned his jaw on his hand that rested upright with its elbow on the table. Perfectly aware that his touch triggers the magnetic suction of the mate bond, hypnotizing me to get lost into his soul. “How many naughty thoughts have you had about me since I picked you up?” I blushed profusely and took another sip of wine.

Should I forgive Curtis and keep my word, or should I risk everything for a chance at something wild and unpredictable with the Alpha who won’t take no for an answer?

Phoebe travelled to the Firebricks Pack with her cousin Joanna, who is newly mated to the Gamma there. Upon meeting Alpha Hudson, she realized that they are mates.

Will Phoebe be able to handle the secret he unfolds, or will she turn her back on him? Thinking that the mate-bond would be strong enough to fix their issues, Hudson is devastated when it fails.

The anger he was fuming hadn't dissolved yet. -----"You were whoring around with another man!"-------- "Whoring?" I retorted, "Looks who talking?" --------"You have no right to be kissing anyone else." He came around to the other side of the car. "You are my mate, for f*ck's sake!"----------- "You mean the mate that you don't want!" I shouted at him, "All you do is neglect me, and I have needs.
