Bride of the Beasts

Bride of the Beasts

The Scions rule the world now. Born of celestial light, they turned on their creators and claimed the earth for themselves. But their victory came at a cost—every daughter of their kind has withered into dust, and extinction looms. So they hunt human women to survive. Anwen has always been fragile. Sickly. Ordinary. She was meant to be hidden away in a sanctuary, safe from the monsters who would claim her. Instead, she’s taken by three of the most feared shifters alive. A Dragon, cold and untouchable. A Lycan, lethal and always too close. A Minotaur, silent and watching—like she’s a puzzle he intends to solve. They expect her to die like the others. Another delicate human who won’t survive the bond. But Anwen doesn’t break. She burns. And the longer she remains in their fortress, the more their control begins to unravel. Their magic bends toward her. Their instincts sharpen. Their possessiveness turns feral. Others want her. Their High King demands her. But these three won’t give her up. Because the fragile human they stole? She might be the most dangerous creature in their world. And they’re done pretending she isn’t theirs.

Chapter: Chapter 72: Against the Oak
ANWEN'S POVFenric's words barely registered before his hands gripped my hips and lifted. My feet left the ground, dangling in the empty air, and I had no choice but to wrap my arms around the trunk, hugging the tree for stability as he hoisted me higher. My legs kicked uselessly, grasping for leverage and finding none.He adjusted me, lifting until I felt the hard, heavy length of him pressing against my thighs, aligned now with my entrance. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for what was coming, my fingers digging into the bark until I felt splinters bite into my palms."Remember," I heard him say behind me, his hand tightening its grip on me. "You asked for this."Then he pushed forward, just the tip, but it was still too much. A choked cry escaped my lips.He was too large, too thick, stretching me in ways that felt impossible. The pain was immediate and blinding, stealing my breath, making my vision spark white at the edges. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think, my body stru

Chapter: Chapter 71: Pride and the Predator
ANWEN'S POVFenric's heated gaze locked onto mine.For a long moment, he simply stared at me, saying nothing. I held his gaze and waited.At last, he spoke."I can't," he said, his voice low with restraint. "Not yet."I didn’t expect his response. It left me cold, completely stunned.Only then did I realize my hands were still holding his rigid length. They slipped away."Why not?" I asked, unable to hide the disappointment in my voice. "A few moments ago, that's exactly what you were trying to do."A shadow crossed his face.He reached for me, sliding an arm around my shoulders to help me sit up."I wasn't myself," he said quietly. "I barely knew what I was doing."I looked away, but he gently cupped my face and turned it back toward him. "I could seriously hurt you," he whispered. "Or worse...""I know," I said. "I knew what could happen to me the moment I was brought here. I've been dreading that day ever since. But now... I'm just tired of being afraid. Tired of wondering whether

Chapter: Chapter 70: Make Me Yours
ANWEN'S POVThe grass was cool beneath my knees, damp with the evening dew, but I barely noticed.All my attention was on Fenric—on the way he sat before me, so still, so impossibly tall that even seated, I had to reach up to cup his face in my hands and draw him down to where I waited.He didn't resist.Those silver-gray eyes of his—intense, predatory, endlessly watchful—never left mine as I pulled him closer.I could see the careful restraint. The lingering trace of wildness in his gaze. But it no longer came from the full moon's madness.It came from want. From desire. I pressed my lips to his.I started gentle, coaxing, silently urging. I moved my trembling mouth against his, soft and seeking. For a moment he remained still, letting me claim the moment.Then his lips twitched into a small smile, and finally parted them for me.When he finally kissed me back, I deepened it immediately, mirroring the hunger I'd learned from them—nipping at his lower lip, letting my tongue explore t

Chapter: Chapter 69: Moon Madness
ANWEN'S POVI stirred when my back met something damp and cold.The sound came next—the violent, unmistakable rip of fabric. My eyes flew open, my heart hammering against my ribs.Above me, the full moon hung bloated and pale in a velvet sky, bathing everything in silver light. I groaned as pain lanced through my skull, a dull throb blooming across my head where I'd struck the floor in the tower.Wincing, I turned my head and took in my surroundings.A clearing.I was lying on dew-slick grass.This wasn't the part of the forest I knew. It was deeper, wilder—a forgotten corner of the Whispering Woods. I could feel the forest's disorienting magic pressing in around me.Finally, I lifted my head.Fenric—or rather, his lycan form—loomed over me. He just tore the last shred of my gown, the fabric surrendering with a whisper. I was completely bare, exposed to the night air that kissed my skin with freezing lips."Fenric," I whispered, curling into myself. "No."He was on me before I could

Chapter: Chapter 68: Caught in the Dark
ANWEN'S POVA howl stirred me from sleep. Fenric's howl.It wasn't the volume that woke me. Nor the way it clawed at the fortress walls, scraping painfully through my ears.This howl was different.It wasn't filled with rage. It was filled with pain. With grief.It pierced straight through my heart, threading itself between my ribs like a desperate plea. And somehow, impossibly, it felt as though Fenric was calling for me.My eyes fluttered open.Darkness still cloaked the chamber, broken only by moonlight spilling through the windows and the open balcony doors.I couldn't have been asleep for long. The lingering warmth on my skin, where Brammon and Rhydan had touched me, was proof enough. My body still hummed with a pleasant soreness from earlier. And the damp, pulsing memory of the pleasure they had so expertly coaxed from me remained between my legs.Brammon's arm lay heavily across the mattress behind me. Rhydan rested on my other side, his breathing slow and even.Both of them w

Chapter: Chapter 67: Forked
ANWEN'S POVI took a deep breath and crawled toward Rhydan. The furs scraped my sensitized knees, my punished backside stinging with every movement, but I barely registered the discomfort. I knelt before him, looking up through my lashes, my throat tight with uncertainty.I swallowed hard, then reached for the laces of his trousers—already loosened, I realized, already waiting for me. My fingers fumbled only slightly as I worked them free, pulling the fabric down, down...He sprang free, heavy and veined, bobbing slightly with his pulse.I wrapped my hand around the base, marveling at the heat, the silken steel of him. A few clumsy strokes drew a sharp exhale from above. Emboldened, I leaned forward and took him into my mouth.He tasted of salt and musk and something uniquely Rhydan—smoke and embers. His grunt was guttural, involuntary, and behind me, Brammon groaned his approval. I took him deeper, relaxing my throat, moving faster, my head bobbing as I sought to draw out more of th
