(ELYN)
I ran through the tall trees, trying to see who it was, but there was no one. The forest was quiet, empty, still. Even the birds were quiet, like somehow they were afraid to make a sound. What the hell was it.
I looked around once again, making sure no one was here. No one really was. But my heart was still thundering from the scare.
Wiping my brows, I walked out.
I was reaching the edge of the forest when a wolf leaped out of the thick canopy of trees. I yelped a little at the unexpected intrusion, my heart thundering in panic, and he stilled when he saw me. And then I looked at him, and it wasn't fear anymore. My heartbeat was loud and excited when I saw the magnificent creature.
He was a mix of black and white, and he was massive and the most beautiful wolf I had ever seen. I had seen a lot of wolves in my life and never been so entranced by one.
I took a step towards him and his eyes met mine and I gasped.
One dark blue and one golden eye blinked up at me and the wolf softly growled.
"Oh, you are as growly as him!" I whispered under my breath and his eyes perked up as he curiously watched me. It was as if an invisible force pulled me. I couldn't stop myself from moving towards him, though. The pull was stronger, wild.
What is wrong with me?
I looked at him and it looked like he was smiling at me... as if he could understand me.
"But you are not as grouchy as him, huh? I mean, he is... fuck, he is a jerk. Does he even know how to smile? He is the one who kidnapped me, and now he keeps pestering me about leaving. OK, well, he smiles with Azalea, but he is always growling at me and I don't like it one bit." I knew I was babbling, but I couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth. The wolf shook his massive head, and his eyes gleamed in amusement. "I know you are laughing at me right now. How the hell do I know that? What is your name?"
The wolf howled as if he was answering my questions and then he turned around, and I could feel the wind shifting. I knew he was going to run into the forest.
"Wait, don't go yet," I blurted out, and the wolf skidded to a stop.
He growled softly, this time in warning, when I took a step towards him. I didn't know why or what I was doing, but something in me wanted company, and I just didn't want to go back yet to the pack house, or be alone.
I knew the wolf was a part of Ares, but something about him calmed me.
I raised my hands and shook my head, showing him I wasn't trying anything funny.
"I won't bite, wolf," I said. "You are so massive. What do you suppose I am going to do to you? You can take me out with a single swipe of your monstrous paws."
He grunted and looked up at me, his eyes wary and astute as he stalked my every movement.
His eyes were bewildered, but there was no hostility in his eyes. He was no threat, and I trusted him fully. His other side, though, not so much.
I sat down, almost touching the wolf, but not really touching. I knew the wolf and man shared a conscience when they shifted back and forth. My grandpa told me everything about what would happen when someone shifted. So I knew whatever I said to the wolf would be heard by the man, but I didn't care.
I was so tired and everything about my life was finally catching up with me.
When I thought of Liam, I felt the same sadness that I had always felt. Reyna and him. It was like a piece of nail stuck under my heart.
I had always known loving Liam came with a promised heartbreak, but... I was stupid and brainless. I couldn't do anything about it now.
The wolf mewled softly, as if he understood my sadness. Could he? He pressed his head on my shoulder and it was so damn comforting. I just wanted to sit right here for the rest of the night.
Without another thought, I raked my fingers through his satin fur, and my heart thundered. He was so damn soft. The wolf shuddered as soon as my fingers pressed against his warm skin and he purred.
Like a damn kitten.
It was strange. I hated wolves, wolves hated me. They had always been assholes to me . Even Liam's wolf was not that fond of me.
In all of my biggest fantasies or my imaginations, this was something I wouldn't even have thought was possible, but here I was with a wolf, petting him.
I stroked the length of his furry body, and he howled, his voice reflecting his pleasure. His eyes were half closed as he gazed at me, and I could see he was enjoying my touch. Strangely enough, I was too.
Everything around us was quiet, peaceful. I took in a deep, calming breath.
"You are alright," I whispered. "Thank you for staying with me."
The wolf leaned closer to me and sniffed and then licked my neck, and my eyes widened as pleasure twisted inside me.
What the fuck was this?
Before I could do or say anything, he moved away and stood up, shaking his head as he did. I could see the struggle between the wolf and the man. The wolf grunted and growled.
"I know," I said to him and then my words died on my lips when I realized he was shifting. I knew I should turn away, but I couldn't.
I stared, mesmerized, as the wolf shifted. I could see the bones forming and reforming into weird shapes, and I hoped it wouldn't hurt so much.
My pulse skidded, and my stomach tumbled when I saw the naked man standing in front of me. I knew Ares was built, but damn. I licked my lips. He had a tattoo of a wolf on his shoulder, and it was so damn beautiful and his hands were so strong.
My throat was filled with sand and my body was lit with fire as I looked down his chest, down the soft, tempting trail of hair leading to the-
Don't humiliate yourself, I said to myself as I closed my eyes, even though everything in me burned to just take a peek at him.
I heard the shuffle of clothes. I couldn't stop myself. The need to just look was too much to control.
Fuck it! I thought to myself as I opened my eyes and he was looking down at me, fully dressed.
His lips lifted slightly in derision, and I knew he was mocking me.
"Oh, you look disappointed!" he said in a voice that made my toes curl. His eyes were goading, and I knew he was enjoying this. This was his payback for all that I had done!
I huffed and tried to stand up, but my legs fell asleep, and I felt prickling sensations everywhere. I sat back down with a grunt.
He pushed a hand forward. I put my hand in his and he pulled me up in a single tug. His hand was warm and hard, and I wanted those hands on me.
Shit. I shook my head, pushing the thoughts away.
It must be because of the adrenaline rush after meeting the man from the darkness, and then meeting the wolf. Nothing else.
I didn't like him. Not one bit.
He tried to kidnap my sister, for Goddess' sake. Reyna wasn't here only because his men were fools. I realized my hand was still in his and we were standing too close. If I took another step, I could easily taste his delectable looking lips. And they looked delectable. He touched me softly, his eyes dark against the evening.
I didn't know what I wanted right now, but everything in me screamed, More!
My legs trembled.
"You- what the hell are you?" he whispered as he gripped my shoulders. I felt hypnotized by his eyes, but the look in them.
I swallowed, and his eyes flicked to my lips.
I bit my lips, and he groaned.
"I am your every dirty dream..." I moaned out and his eyes widened. Mine did, too.
He pressed a finger to my lips. My hands went around his back on their own accord.
I didn't know what I was doing.
At the back of my mind was a strange voice, warning me against this insanity.
I knew it was insane.
But looking into his eyes made every thought in my head disappear.
"You have such a beautiful lips, and I wanted to have a bite of it!" His voice was a deep growl, and it made my stomach clench with need. My pussy was overworking.
I knew I was in love with Liam, but this man... he was made of the sultry dreams and sinful fantasies, and-
He could help me get Liam out of my head.
I knew I would never fall for him.
It would simply be physical.
"You want a taste?" I blurted out and then bit my lips.
His eyes widened and then he nodded.
"I want to, but..."

Drop a comment before you leave! You know how much I love them!
(ARES) Everything in me begged to stop, but Storm was strangely exhilarated. He never cared about women. I didn't know what it was about her that made him horny, too. He craved her, just as much as I did. "I want to bite her and then lick her off... She smells delicious!" Storm said in a strange moan, which made me want to run far away from her. I licked my lips as I looked into her gray eyes, full of dark, dangerous storms, pulling me in, calling to my every sense. My c*ck responded eagerly to the come hither look in her eyes. I wanted to grab her hand and push it against the evidence of my desire for her. It was too much. She was too much. "Do you want a taste?" she moaned out and my arousal jumped in response. A million times yes and more. This was why I didn't like this woman. She is unexpected. After all, she was still here in my pack and that should tell me how much trouble she was. "I do. I do want a taste." Storm said, in a deep moan. I shook my head as the fire in my b
(ELYN) "Yeah, please, tell me, Elyn," Ares said with a sullen look in my direction, his lips pressed together, his arms crossed across his chest, and I knew if Azalea wasn't here, he might probably bite my head off for this. I quickly averted my gaze away from him, laughing as I did. I just couldn't stop myself. Azalea, not knowing why I was smiling, tugged at my shirtsleeve and looked at me with big blue eyes and I ruffled her hair. "Well, that is the story. She has already told you everything," I said to the Alpha, and he grumbled under his breath. "Story. Huh! What a vexing creature you are!" he murmured so that only I could hear it. I flashed him a smile, and he didn't look pleased about it. "No, Elyn, there is one bit about how Princess Elle puts Draconian peppers in his coffee, until he is all-" This little girl was going to get me in trouble. Her uncle was already itching to push me out of the pack, or kill me! Ares grumbled under his breath and she stopped and blinked
(ELYN) Ares glared at me as he stood there like a fucking statue. I inhaled loudly, watching him, as shadows danced against his body, making a mesmerizing effect. He fisted his palms, and I knew I had once again offended him. The Alpha must be itching for a fight, but he said nothing as he stood there, his body rigid and his jaw stern. He looked like he wanted to punish me. I wanted him to. My brain cells died when he was with me. "Do you need anything more?" I said, and he growled at me in response. "Don't growl at me, you know... you don't scare me!" "Why are you- so- so frustrating?" he huffed as he took a step towards me and stopped halfway. For someone with terrible impulse control, his self restraint was admirable. "Well, because I don't act the way you want me to act!" I blinked at him innocently. "Because you fear me." "Scared? Of you? That is laughable," he said with a sarcastic smile as his eyes narrowed. "I am a Lycan wolf and an Alpha at that, and you- you have nothi
(ARES) My head pounded and my eyes burned. I hadn't slept the whole f*cking night wondering what she was doing. It was my f*cking men. They were the reason for my dilemma. Them and the creature who slept two rooms down from mine. She might not have horns, but she was the devil. I spent the night twisting and turning in my bed, and I almost wanted to break her door down and bring her back to my fucking room. She knew what she was doing. Of course, she knew. Every bone in my body begged for her. My c*ck was hard from the midnight meeting, and she didn't even touch me properly. The ache in my body grew with the thoughts racing through my head. I spent minutes under the shower, still thinking of how soft and magical she looked in the moonlight. I could almost feel her breasts on my chest and smell her scent around me, as if she was still there, as if she was right next to me in the shower. My c*ck jumped like a greedy fucker just at the thought of her. I could feel her everywhere, li
(ELYN) My heart thundered in my ears as I stared at Reyna and Liam, their arms around each other, their heads bent together. They were talking, and it looked like they were the only people around in that busy street. They were too lost in their own world and they hadn't scented or seen me. I didn't know whether my heart broke about that, or whether I was relieved. My tongue felt bitter as I stared at them. Shaking my head, I pulled myself out of the acrid feelings. I couldn't envy them for their love. That was not me... was it? I pushed the feeling away, but the darkness was a stubborn master, refusing to leave the pit of my stomach. I looked at the man standing in front of me and his eyes were curious as he kept staring at me. When he asked if I knew them, I didn't reply. How would I tell him? What would I even tell him? If I told him who they were, he would realize that I was also the daughter of his most hated enemy. Not that my father ever acknowledged my existence, but I carrie
(ARES) Her finger on my lips sent tingles along my nerves, and my body begged to meet her fingers. Everywhere. “What the hell is she doing to us?” my wolf sounded confused. Even the powerful Lycan felt so fucking powerless in front of this creature. She took her fingers from my lips, finally releasing me from this spell. My c*ck was hard, and I had the feeling that this was how my life was going to be, if she stayed for a long time in my pack. With me and my blue balls. Always half satisfied. Fully fucking aroused. It would be a torture, and she was right. It stung me to realize how right she was. I would rather die than admit it to her, but she was right. She had some kind of power over me. She looked like she knew she had one. If she knew the thoughts in my head, she would throw a celebration ball, and she would probably ask me to pay for it, too. “And you would pay. You have no other choice when it comes to her. You might have kidnapped her, but now you are the prisoner.” Stor
(ELYN) I put the bags on my bed, as I looked around my room. It was strange calling it my room, or my bed, but I felt comfortable enough here to call all of this mine. For now, this was my home. I knew I had to get out one day or the other, but for now, this was somewhere I wouldn't mind being. And when I leave this pack, I would wander far, far away from Turquoise Falls. There was nothing left for me there, only pain, and past memories. My stomach grumbled loudly. I was planning to go to the kitchen and grab something to eat, when I heard a loud growl coming from the other side of the pack house. What in the seven hells was that? I started to run towards the sound, my curiosity winning over my fear. The growl got louder when I reached closer. I looked around and a sharp gasp left my lips when I saw the door to the mysterious room was ajar. The sound was coming from inside. This door had always stayed closed as long as I could remember. I had always been curious about that room
(ARES) I stormed out, my heart jumping in my throat as I walked inside my room and slammed my door shut. When she was that close... when her scent was all around me, I felt like I was losing my senses. It was like she put me in a trance, where I didn't know what exactly I was doing. Storm clawed inside for dominance, and I knew, if I let him out, he would go back to her room and finish what I hadn't the power to even start. "You are a coward," my wolf said. I knew he didn't mean it. He was angry and horny as fuck. "Maybe, but I can't do this thing with you right now, so shut the fuck up and leave me alone!" I said as I went into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. I could still feel the softness of her fingers, the lushness of her body and I need a bath in the fucking ocean of Izotz, which was mostly frozen blocks of ice. That was exactly what I needed. Blocks of ice. "You could have had Elyn and her warmth," Storm said with a frown. He was angry, but I knew why I had to do t
