Chapter 11

Axel POVI lay on my back, panting for air. We have been up all night, fucking like rabbits and Elara is finally asleep.It was magnificent. She was beautiful, glorious, a goddess. I never experienced sex like this before, and as the scent of her heat wrapped around us, I doubted I ever would again. This was completely … beyond.My gaze meets Kane’s, and he does not have to speak to me to tell me he feels the same. He is conspicuously quiet, and tension radiates from him in waves. I hope Elara cannot feel it and wakes up.“This is a problem,” he finally says to me.“I know,” I agree, getting quietly out of bed so as not to disturb Elara. “If Elara isn’t pregnant with one of our pups, it would be a miracle.”“If she is pregnant with one of our pups, it would be a problem,” Kane grimaces as we gather our clothes and get out of the room.Right now, everything was a lose-lose.“She’s going to hate us,” Kane whispers, “Are we right doing so?”“It’s probably for the best,” I reply, pulling

Chapter 12

Elara POVThis cannot be good.“Miss Montgomery,” one of them approaches me formally. “Please come with us.”“Uhm, why?” I pull the robe tighter against my body.“Move, Montgomery,” the other one barks, and I am taken aback by his brute tone of voice.“Okay, you don’t need to bite my head off,” I reply, irritated. “Let me just get dressed, and … hey! Let go.”They grab my arms, force me out of my room and push me forward.“Can I please put some clothes on?” I protest.“Move, or we’ll make you move,” he orders, and marches me through the mansion in silence.“There better be clothes for me at … wherever it is you’re taking me,” I huff indignantly, but the only reply I get is the muffled sounds of our footsteps on the navy-carpeted floor.This must be urgent, I realise as I follow them barefoot. I hope my parents are okay, and my little sister, Selena.The dread and worry grow with each step, and I pray that whatever news I was about to receive will not completely demolish me. I do not k

Chapter 13

Elara POVMy blood drains from my face, and I feel lightheaded as Kane speaks. This must be a nightmare, right? This cannot be true. This cannot be happening. I did everything the way they told and showed me. They never complained. Hell, they climaxed multiple times during the night. How the fuck is that unsatisfactory?“What’s the meaning of this?” Elder Anton bellows, pulling me away from my thoughts. He stands up and grabs the bannister in front of him, his bony knuckles white and his face twisted into a sneer of disbelief and sheer rage.“Elder Anton,” Kane says calmly. “I’m simply following the laws that the High Council set forth.”The room goes quiet, and all eyes are on Kane – including mine. What law is he talking about? Is he making it up? I mean, if such a law exists, why has nobody used it?“I bookmarked the page,” Kane motions a guard from the High Council to come over and hands him the book of laws to give to Anton. “You may look at the law yourself.”Anton unpeels his h

Chapter 14

Elara POVI thought Mason’s betrayal hurt, but this … this is inhumane. Anger, betrayal and humiliation surge through me, leaving me numb. In disbelief, I stare at Axel and Kane. How could they? I gave everything to these two bastards, and this is the thanks I get. What the fuck?My wolf, Lily, howls in agony, fighting to escape from the pain and humiliation. I fight to control her, but give up, and she breaks free. What is the use of fighting? I have been humiliated, insulted, and tossed aside. There is nothing left to fight for. My robe rips into shreds as I shift and run from the hundreds of eyes staring at me. Why did they have to do this in front of an audience? Why could they not do it with just Anton? It is not like anyone has a say in any of this. Not even me, and I am the one being branded as unclaimable.Guards block my way, and I bare my teeth, growling at them. I am ready for a fight. I had had enough, and if they kill me, Kane and Axel get what they desire – me out of the

Chapter 15

Axel POV“Well, that went fantastically,” Kane slumps into a mahogany brown leather couch in our office, laying his head back, looking at the ceiling.“Are you sure you should have let her run off like that?” I ask, scratching my neck. That scene was heartbreaking and will haunt me for days.“What the hell else could I have done?” He scrubs a hand up and down his face. “She’ll be back. Plus, if I let the guards go after her, it would have looked like she was doing something wrong. And she wasn’t. She just wanted to get out of there, and can you blame her?”“Nope,” I drop onto the couch beside Kane and mirror his position, looking up at the vaulted ceiling and focusing on a wooden beam running across it. “I would have wanted to get as far away as possible … and never return.”We sigh in unison, not needing to verbalise how shitty we feel. She did not deserve to be humiliated like that, but there is no other way to claim Alice. We tried reasoning with Anton at the ceremony, our only opt

Chapter 16

Elara POVI am standing on all fours, crouching low, baring my teeth, and growling at the stranger. His scent is overwhelming, but I try to ignore it and remain alert. If I learnt anything from this morning, it would be to trust no one.“Well, hello there, gorgeous,” he smiles, and immediately, I am captivated.“He smells delicious,” Lily purrs in my head.“Shh,” I reply harshly, even though I cannot argue the fact. “Now’s not the time to be sniffing out dinner.”“Not that kind of delicious …” Lily murmurs.I know exactly what she means, and it irks me. What is wrong with me that I am attracted to the wrong men? Because this guy has my mouth watering.He takes a step closer, and I growl even lower and more aggressively.Who the hell is this guy, and what is wrong with him? Nobody walks toward a growling wolf.His green eyes glimmer with something like amusement as he walks toward me, and I suspiciously glare at him. He is dressed in blue jeans, a white T-shirt with a flannel shirt ove

Chapter 17

Kane POVThe second Axel and I enter our quarters, Alice launches herself into my arms.“Oh, thank goddess! There you are,” she squeezes me around the waist as tightly as she can, burying her face in my chest.I hug her back just as tightly, and I can feel the tension leaving her body as she finally relaxes her muscles from the fight-or-flight response she clearly has been in the last day and a half.Axel stands behind Alice, kissing the top of her head and massaging her shoulders while she melts into our touches.“It’s okay. We’re here now,” he murmurs to her. “We’ve got you, sweety”“I was so scared,” she sobs.“You slept with her,” she shoves me against the chest, but I hold her tighter.“I know, I know,” I coo gently. “But that was the only way we could redeem her unclaimable. I told you I would figure it out, and to trust me. And look? Now you’re our mate.”“Your second mate,” she sniffs.“It's a stopgap measure.” I reply.“Agreed,” Axel echoes. “And now … it’s time to complete t

Chapter 18

Elara POV“Did you just say the Great Wars?” I shamelessly gape at Braden. My fears and reservations were completely forgotten after he mentioned the war.“I did,” Braden stares back at me, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. “I helped fight in them.”What the hell? The Great Wars were over twenty years ago, before I was even born. There is no way this guy was old enough to have fought in them. He looks thirty, tops. And if he is not a wolf, he does not have the same extended lifetime we do, living up to a few hundred years.“I can see the wheels turning,” he laughs melodiously. “You’re wondering how the hell I could have fought in them when I don’t look old enough to be out of diapers when they happened.”“Something along those lines,” I shrug, reluctant to admit he is right.“I’m sixty-two,” he replies.“Bu … but … how?” I stutter wide-eyed. He is bullshitting me; I am sure of it. There is no way.He throws his head back and laughs.“I take it you’ve never heard of the M

Chapter 19

Elara POVDumbstruck, I make my way back “home,” trying to reconcile everything that had just happened. I cannot.None of what Braden had told me made any sense. How could I not know of the existence of vampires? Er, Masas Dima or whatever he said. Sure, I had no proof of anything he told me, but he definitely did not smell like anything I had encountered before, and that in itself was proof of something.But if vampires existed, what about … Oh, shit. What else was out there that I did not know about? And why do I know about it? Did my parents know about vampires and whatever other witches, unicorns, fairies, trolls, and – whoa! I am getting ahead of myself. Way ahead. I cannot even wrap my brain around vampires, let alone anything else.“Calm down,” Lily snaps. “You’re starting to hyperventilate.”I stop walking and sink to my knees, the damp earth and scratchy leaves on my bare skin centring me a little.“You need to let me shift back,” Lily says. “We must try to get his scent off

Chapter 20

Kane POVAlice smiles seductively at me and Axel as she lies down naked on the bed. It took a lot of begging and pleading to convince her to give us another chance.I lay beside her, and Axel does the same on her other side.“I’m sorry about earlier,” I murmur, softly dragging my finger from her throat, down between her breasts and towards her hips.“So am I,” Axel kisses her neck. “It was a wild morning, and things got a little out of control.”“But now we’re all yours,” I sniff her neck, familiarising myself with her sweet scent, and it suddenly strikes me how glad I am that we had sex with Elara in her bed and not in mine. I seriously doubt I would be able to go through with this if Elara’s scent were still lingering here.I remove the memories of Elara with force, concentrating on Alice’s neck and dropping my fangs. I close my eyes, hovering above Alice’s jugular.Once we fully claim Alice, she will go into heat almost immediately afterwards, since biologically, our bodies will al
