LOGINDamon PovI woke up to an empty bed.She was long gone. Instead of feeling at ease, given our deal was strictly no strings attached, I couldn't help but let out a loud huff. I pressed my hand against the cold side of the mattress where I’d laid her last night.Last night had been intense. We kept going at it in different positions until she couldn't keep up, slumping against me completely as I took her right there in the office chair.I forced myself to stop after that and carried her to my room. I'm not the type to do aftercare, but I'd wiped her clean and tucked her into my bed. I fell asleep not long after, only to wake up to this. A cold, empty space.And I fucking hated that she slipped away before I woke up.I glanced at the window. The sun was already streaming in, and I jolted out of bed.I was always up before first light. It was a hard habit. How the hell had I slept in for so long?I brushed the thought off and got moving quickly. Without a doubt, training had already start
ElaraI don't know where I was, or how I got there. But I was falling backward into a pitch-black abyss. The wind howled in my ears, ripping at my hair and clothes as I plummeted into the darkness. I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the violent, bone-shattering impact against the rocks at the bottom.But the crash never came.Suddenly, the air around me turned freezing cold, so bitter it knocked the oxygen right out of my lungs. The sensation of falling vanished, replaced by a strange, weightless suspension. I opened my eyes. Right in the middle of the empty air, a loud, tearing sound echoed like thick fabric being ripped apart. A shaking crack opened up in the darkness, glowing with a pale, shimmering light.Before I could even scream, the invisible gravity shifted, and my body tumbled straight through the glowing tear.I hit the ground hard, rolling onto a bed of frost-covered grass that crunched beneath my weight. Gasping for air, my lungs burning from the sudden cold, I pushed
ElaraThe kiss was fierce, claiming, his hands immediately pulling me flush against his hard body. His mouth demanded against mine, his tongue sweeping in to dominate every corner as he backed me toward his desk, our bodies pressed so tightly I could feel every rigid muscle straining against his clothes.Within seconds, his hands were everywhere, tearing at my clothes with desperate impatience. He ripped my shirt over my head, his mouth never leaving mine as his fingers fumbled with my bra. The clasp gave way and my breasts spilled free. His palms immediately cupped them, thumbs brushing over my already rock-hard nipples. I gasped into his mouth as he rolled them between his fingers, sending jolts of electricity straight to my core.Then his hands moved lower, teasing the edges of my pants before sliding them down my hips. The black cotton panties followed, pooling around my ankles until I stood completely bare before him. His dark green eyes raked over my naked body, burning with suc
ElaraI gasped, trying to say something, but the words completely died in my throat. Right before my eyes, his left eye blinked twice. When he opened it again, the dark green was completely gone, replaced by a glowing, molten shade of gold.My heart stopped dead in my chest. Maverick was fully awake.I braced myself, expecting him to pin me to the door or growl. Instead, the tense line of his shoulders completely melted and a huge, goofy smile broke across his face, completely transforming his usual terrifying expression. Before I could even think, his massive arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me a few inches off the floor as he hauled me tightly against his broad chest. He buried his face right into the crook of my neck, nuzzling me like a giant puppy and inhaling deeply.“I missed you so much, my sweet!” he rumbled. It was still Damon's deep baritone, but the tone was entirely different—warm, energetic, and filled with pure affection. He swayed me side to side in a giant bear hu
ElaraMy stomach did a nervous flip, but I didn't give him the satisfaction of an answer. I shoved against his massive chest with all my strength, slipped past his arms, and walked right out of the shed.The bright afternoon sunlight hit me full force, making me squint. I quickly checked myself, yanking the hem of my shirt down and frantically trying to smooth out my messy hair.“Elara!”I froze. Finn was marching right toward me, looking incredibly stressed. He stopped right in front of me, his eyes quickly searching my face. “I’ve been looking all over for you.”My heart practically jumped into my throat. I desperately prayed he couldn't smell Alpha Damon’s heavy scent on me, or notice that the nasty cut on my cheekbone from Fiona’s knuckles had already closed up. Trying to act natural, I casually adjusted my torn collar and gave him a small, tired shrug. “Yeah, sorry. I just needed a moment alone.”“You okay now?”“Kind of. I mean... Yeah.”He let out a long sigh of relief, his ten
DamonThe moment her lips crashed against mine, something inside me snapped. All the restraint I'd been clinging to for weeks shattered. I took control of the kiss, tilting my head to deepen it as my hands gripped her waist. Her body felt small and fragile against mine, but I knew better.I lifted her off the ground without breaking the kiss. A soft gasp escaped her lips as her feet left the dusty floorboards of the shed. My hands slid down to her thighs, holding them firmly as I parted her legs, positioning myself between them. Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck, fingers tangling in my hair to pull me closer.The old wooden cupboard creaked under our weight as I set her down on the edge. It put her at the perfect height, her face level with mine. I could feel the heat radiating from her straight through our clothes. My dick throbbed in response, pressing insistently against my zipper.I kissed her with everything I had, all the frustration, the desire, the weeks of pretending I

Elara “He is no longer next in line to be Alpha.” Helena’s words kept ringing in my ear as I stood frozen, my hands dropping to my sides, my brain completely stalled. “What?” I breathed, the word barely escaping my throat. “Helena, that’s not funny. Jason is—” “I’m not joking, Elara! The entire
Two Years LaterElara“What are you doing in there, Elara? Andy's all over the place looking for you!”I didn't need to look out the window to know it was Kofi. The boy had a voice like a cracked bell, definitely impossible to ignore.“Give me a sec!” I called back, twisting the stove knob down to
Elara “You’re such a slut for my dick, aren’t you? You’ve wanted this for so long, you’re basically taking it like a fucking champ.” My eyes widened in horror as the grainy video played on my screen. The phone slipped from my trembling fingers, bouncing off the duvet as a ragged sob clawed its
