“Because I love the alphas as much as you do. I would never hurt them,” I said, and she froze, her eyes widening. I waited for the repercussions of my confession, but instead she composed herself.
“Good. Now that that’s out of the way, I’m Anetta. I’ve been told to get you food when you need it, but I’m not picking your fucking dresses again and you can wipe your own ass, got it?” she said, shoving her hands into her coat.
I raised a brow and realized I was the one who had been manipulated. “That was a test?”
“Yeah, you walked right into it.”
“And everything you told me?”
“Totally true, but I had to make sure you weren’t going to be an entitled bitch before I agreed to be your gofer. Now that I know you’re just a lovesick idiot, we’ll do fine.”
She shrugged, then yanked a jerky from her coat and chomped on it between her scarily sharp teeth.
I chuckled at the way she had handled me. It was well done, and I had to thank Derik for picking someone that I might not mind spending some time with.
“How does loving the alphas make me an idiot?” I asked, following her out of the dressing room into my suite, where breakfast was waiting. My stomach growled in response.
“Because you’re human. That ends with them mating someone else, turning you and fucking you up because of the whole winter born thing, or you die. None of those should be appealing, but love is a bitch like that.”
She sighed, then pulled the lid off the dish waiting at the table for me. Oatmeal and toast. My stomach rumbled again.
“You don’t believe in love?” I asked, ignoring her predictions because she was right, they all sucked.
She extended her wrist so I could see an infinity brand on her wrist. “I kind of have to. I’m mated.”
I nodded, shoving a piece of toast in my mouth. It was dry as hell, but I needed the sustenance.
“Is that why you’re here and not crippled by the heat thing?” I assumed, and she nodded.
“Being mated is kind of like being in permanent heat, so you kinda get used to it.
The cravings just get worse when I’m around my mate. It helps that he’s hot as hell.” She grinned, her cheeks flooding with heat.
I smiled and went back to my breakfast. “So mates don’t participate in the ceremony?”
She shook her head. “Nope. Might go anyway though. The more that join, mated or not, the easier it is for the unmated males to draw on our strength to satisfy the females. Normally it’s fine, but a lot of males mated this year and your scent is going to drive them all insane,” she said, then chuckled.
“I can’t wait to see how it goes with you there. The alphas are idiots for you too it seems,” she said, but it didn’t feel like an insult, so I smiled too.
“You think I shouldn’t be?”
“Oh no, you have to be. Because the alphas have to be. It’ll work and the heat will go smoothly, all our whores getting off, but if they start claiming you there? That’s going to drive them wild. They say they can resist, but Kai can’t resist shit.”
She shook her head, laughing again as she went to the bench and started putting things in cupboards, snacks and food, for which I was grateful.
I sipped the tea from my tray and was pretty sure it wasn’t Kai that was going to give in. “I don’t think it’ll be Kai to lose control. It’ll be Brax for sure,” I said, knowing his shadows would make it harder.
But nobody else understood that feeling, so she raised a brow.
“Kai is impulsive, never does anything by the book. He’ll give in first,” she predicted, so I put my tea down and grinned at her.
“Care to bet on it then?”
She narrowed her eyes. “If you win?”
“I want one free pass to leave my suite. You have to take me anywhere in the mansion that I want to go,” I bartered, and she nodded slowly.
“And if I win, I want your recommendation to the alphas to get out of initiate status,” she said back, and I frowned at that.
“I don’t know if I can do that. I try to leave the werewolf business to them.”
“But they listen to you, and they will do whatever it takes to make you happy.” She grinned back.
31. The Heat
My mouth ran dry, my thighs pressed together as my pussy leaked in response to the heat rushing through me.
Literally. It was like my body had consumed flames, the whole thing igniting.
I sucked in a breath, almost falling back, but Kai caught me, wrapping his arms around me. I whimpered as the wolves’ strength pushed through mine.
I didn’t need to channel them. The power, the heat, the feeling of them all together, connected, filled the air and every part of me, my shadows doing that glowy thing like they had with Brax earlier.
It wasn’t a full channel, but it was a reaction of some kind, and it was consuming me.
My nipples were hard and sore against the heavy velvet cloak. Kai pulled me onto his lap, holding my head against him so I couldn’t see, but it was worse, the hard ridge of his dick pressing into me.
I clutched his arm, breathing hard as I clenched my eyes shut, trying to push the intensity out, but it was so fucking strong. It was taking everything I had to keep my shadows and the channeling power within them at bay.
“You’ve got this, beautiful,” Derik said, his finger stroking down my cheek.
I shuddered at the touch of his bare skin on me, the potency fierce as I clenched my jaw against it. I wasn’t even a wolf, how was it fair that I had to feel it too?
I peered up at him, trying to keep my eyes focused, but they dragged to Brax behind him, who was avoiding me, his fists clenched in the blanket, his head bowed as his heavy breathing racked his naked body.
He was on his knees, and now I understood why he was having trouble. The shadows fed on the connection, whether him or I wanted them to.
I tried harder to resist the need, the flames trying to devour my willpower, to make me channel, succumb to the chaos the heat created within me.
I took deep breaths, climbed from Kai, needing to stop touching. My gaze met Brax and I went over, but he gave a soft warning growl.
“I don’t have enough control to touch you, Spitfire,” he breathed, and I smiled, tightening my grip on the storm inside me.
Despite my heavy breasts and leaking pussy, throbbing like a demanding bitch, I was pretty sure I had stowed it.
“I can help. Like you did for me when I lost control,” I whispered, and his eyes widened before they softened.
He moved closer, his body against mine. I wrapped my fingers around the back of his neck and pulled his mouth closer to mine, almost touching.
My breath was coming out in pants, the air around us so tense and thick with heat.
Derik and Kai were watching, anxiety radiating off them as they waited.
I could imagine the chaos it’d create if it didn’t work, if Brax or I let our control slip in the moment. I’d probably channel, possibly die, and Brax would be an untamed beast, more than likely fucking every female here.
I kept those consequences in my head, refusing to let them happen.
And then my lips found his and I shoved my shadows down his throat with my tongue. I caressed his, manipulated and seduced them back to tame them, calm them down.
His arms wrapped around me, and my control faltered a little, his cock breaching my cloak, brushing over my bare pussy. I sucked in a breath, the kiss deepening as I scrambled to get more control.
Once I had it, I became more forceful with Brax, pushing his shadows away from the surface, away from the feelings that made us both feel like we were on fire.
He let out a deep sigh when I did and I pulled back, holding his face.
“Thank you,” he panted, kissing me lightly again before shuffling back.
I smiled, then turned and went back to Kai, keeping my head down. I sat on his lap and snuggled in. His skin was just as hot as I felt.
The shadows were at bay, I was in control, but the heat was still fierce within me.
It was still tugging and begging to get out, to take me over, but I had enough control for now. Even with Kai brushing his finger up and down my thigh through the seam in my cloak.
My stomach tightened as his hand went higher, his cock twitching as a wolf howled, another round of them going off into the night air.
The sound wrapped around me, sinking in my core, and I fidgeted on him, pressing my thighs together to try and stop the demanding throb, but it wasn’t working.
Kai’s lips pressed on the pulse in my neck, and my breath faltered, coming out in jagged pieces. “Kai,” I pleaded in a whisper, and he nuzzled my neck.
“I like touching you,” he breathed back, and I smiled tightly.
I liked him touching me, more than I should in the setting, but I still couldn’t help the way my hips moved a little into his as his fingers stroked close to where I wanted the friction the most.
He chuckled into my ear, his deep husk tightening my core, the heat getting dangerously close to escaping, the flames licking around the cage I had my shadows in.
