Do it

Victoria’s POVThe pain kept me alive. The air in the cellar was heavy and cold, pressing against my skin like icy hands. The raw, iron scent of blood filled my nostrils, almost stifling, mixing with the damp, moldy smell of old stone beneath me. Through blurry eyes, I looked to see her outside the narrow, barred window. Blood dripped relentlessly from my hanged arms, pattering onto the grimy floor and echoing faintly in the silence between Sylvia's steps.Sylvia I shouted, come and finish this, leave my children alone.Her eyes looked unhinged.MOTHER, I emphasized the word, you know what I think? You’re the one cursed. Dad has no powers at all, and it’s always your side of the family where these things start. It’s your lineage, not his, that brought this down on us. The curse never belonged to the outsiders—it’s in your bloodline, passing from mother to daughter like a rotten inheritance. I said it laughing, wanting her to feel the sting.For a second, I saw her strong facade fall;

I want to go home

Makarius’s POVCome here, I told Hannah, taking her into my arms. Did you miss me?Her eyes locked on mine. I did, she said, smiling. What a beautiful smile, and I had to kiss her lips.Makarius, I am all for tradition, and I know you’re my mate, but…I won’t, kiss me, I need some fuel, I joked.You do? Her lips were so red. Tell me more about yourself.I will tell you everything, because this had to start with honesty. My mother had a plan, but I didn’t know about it until later. Looking for my mate, I met Victoria. Then I launched the story.Her face went from shock to terror, and she ended up crying.You can reject me if you want, I would understand, I told her.Makarius, I waited all my life for my fated mate, you won’t get rid of me that easily…and my lips crashed on hers. She pulled away. I do have a question, though. Do you still love her?My body stiffened. A wave of guilt swept over me, because part of me still missed the way things used to be. I won’t lie to you, yes, but my

It still hurts

Cadmus’s POVVictoria was asleep on my shoulder as the driver was taking us back to the pack. Lucien, in the front seat, turned to me.Cadmus, let me know when you’re ready to hunt, and I will help you.Lucien, your mother wants to kill you. We need to keep you safe. Now, I’m curious about your abilities. Have you ever used it?I did not know I was capable of doing this. Maybe someone can help me.Thalia has similar abilities. Her guardian spirit, named Blue, appeared when she was little, but she still can’t control it. Guardian spirits are supernatural entities that connect with certain individuals, granting them unique powers and guidance, though learning to use these abilities takes time and practice.Maybe I should talk to her, Cadmus?Yes, I agree, maybe you have something in common. Victoria was making a groaning noise.My love, are you in pain? Of course, I knew she was. I pulled out a pill and placed it in her mouth, then gave her a bottle of water. I ran my hand over her face

Hathor

Cadmus’s POVVictoria’s bruises and cuts were healing perfectly fine. I watched her sleep peacefully, and I thought that I could not rest until that woman was dead. I had murderous thoughts, yeah, and would be the only punishment I could think of right now.I got up and went into the shower, my thoughts still scrambled. I need to figure out how to tell her I’m going hunting, can’t lie to her…the door opened, and Victoria stepped in.My love, I said, kissing her lips, trying to kill me, as my hands touched her beautiful body.Cadmus, I can hear you thinking, how about I take your mind off, she said, touching my already hard cock.I didn’t need to pursue more; my hands turned into an octopus on her, one between her legs, even though I smelled her arousal.Between the kisses, I asked her if she was sure; her arms were still healing. She only responded by touching me more, setting a fire inside of me. I lifted her as her legs wrapped around me and slammed into her hard. I missed her body

Bachelor party

Cadmus’s POVGoing back to the Tatra pack, I felt at ease for the first time. The tension that always sat heavy on my shoulders loosened, as if the weight of past betrayals and endless caution had finally started to slip away. There was a strange warmth in my chest, a quiet certainty that we were all right, that we were safe together. Makarius, finding his mate finally, I got to trust him a little more. For so long, I'd watched him with suspicion, waiting for him to stumble or crumble, but now it was as if a small wall between us had quietly fallen. Thinking back on all this, it is amazing how far we have come. It took me so long to heal her wounds, her heart wounds. Seeing her beside me now, her hand holding mine tightly as she looked outside the window, made something unravel inside me—gratitude, relief, a sense of home I never thought I would feel again.Cadmus, she said, I feel old. I laugh at her sentence.Victoria, if you’re old, I’m ancient, and my love, we don’t age like the r

You knew?

Cadmus’s POVShe teased me for a while, leaving me wanting more, then another girl came in. Her hands were touching my chest, and the masked woman was still licking my cock, and I was so fucking turned on. I wanted Victoria.The woman left her sheer top and her lace panties on; she teased the top of my cock over her panties.Oh hell, I’m going to go insane. Why am I so attracted to her? I grabbed her and pulled her on top of me.With my hands on her ass, I slid in and stopped. This feels familiar. I lifted her shirt and licked her nipple as the other girl was licking the other. I growled. What the fuck was in that drink?Her hips moved slowly, she took my hand and put it on the other girl's breast. Too big; I didn’t like it. My cock was about to explode, but she was enjoying it, and then she said my name more like whispered.Am I imagining Victoria? My guilt is playing tricks. My strokes were deep as I grabbed her hips possesively. Her body arched, and I bit gently on her nipple, my b
