Sounds pompous

Nearly a week went by, and Makarius stayed back, only checking in here and there. It felt like I was getting a cold shoulder, and the whole situation just made me more tangled up in my own head. Then he walked into my room.“What do you want?” I snapped, not bothering to hide the edge in my voice.“They’re inviting us to their party. You want to go?”“Nope,” I said flatly.“Victoria,” he said, sitting down next to me. “You’re mad at me?”“Oh, brilliant observation. What gave it away?”He kissed me, and damn it, my body caved like a house of cards in a breeze.“I stayed away because of your arm. I didn’t want to hurt you.”“That’s your excuse?” I shot back, still pissed.“You’re cute when you’re angry,” he said, grinning.I glared at him, my eyes scanning his face, searching for the scar near his jaw, but his thick stubble hid it well." They won't let you shave?" I asked, eyeing his stubble. His eyes locked on mine. "Does it bother you?""No, actually it looks..." I trailed off, feel

I'm just a rogue

His lips were touching mine. Hmmm, more, I said with my eyes closed.Makarius’s kisses grew deeper, hungry as his hands touching me—a great way to wake up. I wanted him so badly, like a need I never had before. Everything faded.Victoria, he whispered, “We need to take a shower and start the day.No, I said, “I was going to sleep more.I thought you were waiting for the training session, he saidMy eyes popped open. Really?He chuckled.Okay, one more minute, hold me, " I said as I listened to his heartbeat."You, girl," the man said, tossing a weapon my way."Victoria," I snapped. "Stop calling me 'girl.'""Oh, Victoria," he grinned, "keep that fire for the battle." His gaze shifted past me.Makarius was just a few steps behind. The man visibly swallowed and handed me the weapon.The sharp stick, my favorite. It brought back the memory of saving Thane.Then it hit me: he never came to save me.Pirate was shuffling toward me, one eye half-open."Victoria, please forgive me," he mutter

It was all just a game?

Makarius’s POVI stepped into the office and dropped into the chair, a smirk tugging at my lips.Finally, I’d found her, my prisoner. I couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking back to the day we’d met. She was just a kid, maybe five, and I was what, twelve? Her father had been dead set against us hanging out, and honestly, that’s still a mystery I need to crack.Why doesn’t she remember her father?Joe strolled in, breaking my train of thought.“How long are you going to keep this charade up?” he asked, half-joking.“Just a bit longer,” I said, still smirking.“Oh, come on, you’re totally in love,” he shot back.“I care about her, Joe. She’s the girl I met back then. I found her.”“How can you be sure?”“When she had that fever, she said my name. Mentioned details only she’d know. But here’s the weird part, she doesn’t remember her father.”The door swung open, and Pirate stumbled in, blood streaking down his face.“They took Victoria,” he managed, looking straight at Joe before collapsin

Sorry, your majesty

Victoria’s POVHe hauled me through the pack house and dumped me in some oversized bedroom like a sack of potatoes."Oh, good, so now I'm your prisoner?"His grin was infuriatingly smug. "You're my mate, Victoria. Why fight it? You feel this, too."A knock cut through his bullshit."Go away," he barked."Makarius," Joe called through the door, "you need to see this. Now."He swore under his breath before turning back to me with that stupid alpha command voice: "Stay put."The door clicked shut and locked because, apparently, subtlety was dead today.Fantastic. I flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. So, Makarius had spent years hunting me down because fate decided we were soulmates? What about Drystan? That bond had been real, too. Hadn’t it? My head spun until exhaustion finally dragged me under.Thunder jolted me awake, only to find Makarius already there, arms locking around me before I could bolt."Relax," he murmured against my hair, voice rough with sleep, or maybe posse

Bold move

Victoria’s POVI held his gaze, noticing his look softened as they remained on me.“Yes, I’ll be your Luna.”He didn’t move. Not even a twitch.“Makarius?” I prodded.“Say that again,” he said, only just above a whisper.“I said yes,” I repeated, more loudly this time.He rushed around the table and pulled me into a tight hug. “You said yes,” he spoke quietly in my ear, his voice low and steady.“Can I announce it? If you’re okay with it.”“Go ahead,” I said, trying to seem more assured than I really was. This was it. There was no turning back.“Alright, announcement tonight, ceremony tomorrow,” he said. His eyes were still locked on mine, searching for something.“You look like you’re second-guessing, Makarius. What aren’t you telling me?”“Wouldn’t dream of it.” He smiled. “Now I have some calls to make. Enjoy yourself, Victoria. You’ve made me happier than you know.”"Makarius, let’s keep this contract for now. I don’t want you to regret it later."His look softened, but a trace of

Let's celebrate

Sunlight warmed my eyelids, waking me up. My body felt relaxed and a little sore from the night before.Makarius stood close to the bathroom mirror, toothbrush in hand. "Victoria, will you select your dress or shall I choose for you?""Can I bring Pirate with me?" I asked, my speech still full of sleep."You'll attend as my wife, Victoria. Pirate and two of my men will accompany us." His utterance hardened. "This isn't negotiable.""Fine," I said, wrapping the sheet around myself as I walked to the bathroom.He caught me by the waist, his kiss urgent as his hands unwound the fabric. His touch seemed possessive, hungry, rendering me breathless.When I woke up again, the sun was high in the sky. I groaned into my pillow."Makarius?" My speech was muffled by tangled hair falling across my face.A knock answered me. "Come in," I called, lifting the covers.Pirate appeared in the doorway. "You're still in bed?" he asked, eyebrows cocked."He... and then I fell asleep," I mumbled."Right. T

I asked for this

I couldn't look at him. "I was scared you'd think I was a freak. No one at the academy knows. I just... I lost control once and almost had a viper attack on my nemesis." The words leaked out. "But that's not even the point...""Wait." Makarius stared at me. "Animals listen to you. Not just serpents?"He dropped onto the chair."I should go." My voice shook. "I'm sorry, Makarius." I hurried to the bathroom, tears running down my face as I struggled with my dress zipper.He followed me in, lifting me onto the sink counter. "Have you lost your mind? You think I'd let you go? Victoria, did you hear me say I love you?"I could barely speak through my sobs. "I'm sorry…""What are you apologizing for? I'm terrified of your safety." His arms encircled me. "Who else might have figured this out?"I kept sobbing."How long have you known?" he asked, holding me tighter."Since the day with the viper," I sobbed.He laughed gently on my hair. "My crazy, dangerous woman. It's a little funny, though.

You are everything

My hands quivered, and I didn't know why I felt so nervous, so I looked in the mirror at myself. Spit it out, Victoria, before you go out there. He loves you; the people in this pack adore you. What are you worried about? Pirate stared at me.Drystan. I spoke.Like…you still love him?"Funny, Makarius asked me that too. I spent most of my life with Drystan. It's hard to believe he just left me, and now he's married to my nemesis. What is he up to, Pirate?"What does your gut feeling say?"I know I'm making the right choice. I love Makarius. But there's still this bothersome feeling... and the bond?"Maybe you need time to get to know Makarius better. Now, look at you. You’re so beautiful."Thank you, Pirate. I really appreciate you." A knock on the door interrupted us.Kara entered. She stood there looking at me. Victoria, I came to say congrats…I took her into a hug. Kara, I don’t trust you yet, but I hope we can work on that.Yeah, Kara said, then kissed me on the lips as Makarius

We're going to war

Drystan’s POVI trudged into the bedroom, completely exhausted. This was the crown I had fought so hard to win, and now I have carried all its burdens as Alpha King.The door creaked open. Sienna came in, her eyes full of hope. "Drystan? Do you need anything from me tonight?""What part of 'this is just for show' don't you get?" I snapped. "I don't want you."A sharp knock cut us off. "Come in," I said, pulling my shirt over my head.Another woman stood in the doorway. "Alpha Drystan, I can come back later if you want…""No, you stay. Sienna is leaving."The woman undid my belt and knelt in front of me. I met Sienna’s gaze. She kept looking at me even as the woman took me in her mouth, bringing me to full arousal. I only closed my eyes when Sienna finally turned and ran out.Nothing brings me any satisfaction now. I sent the woman away right after.Victoria’s face haunted me as I stood under the hot shower. When I came out, my beta was waiting in the bedroom."This had better be impor

This isn't fair

I felt the sun warming my shoulders as I lay partly draped over Makarius. My head throbbed, and the rest of my body wasn’t much better. “Victoria, sleep,” he mumbled. I turned slightly, but his arm tugged me back. His hand slid across my bare skin, and I drifted off again. The scent of coffee roused me. Blinking slowly, I finally opened my eyes.Makarius stood there, sharp in a suit, his dark hair tied neatly back. “Where are you going?” I whispered, my voice was still heavy with sleep. He sat on the edge of the bed. “Forgive me, but I need to check on the company. When I get back, though, we’re celebrating your birthday, twenty-one, big deal, then off to a surprise honeymoon.”I frowned. “How long will you be gone?”“Just a few days, I swear,” he said, leaning in to kiss me. My hands looped around his neck, and he pulled me onto his lap.“This isn’t fair,” I muttered. “I’m naked, and you’re all dressed up like you’re about to conquer the world.”He laughed, then kissed my neck softly
