So he lowered his head and nibbled on her lower lip, kissing her mouth and entangling his tongue.At the same time, he thrust forward, through Ophelia's hand, straight to her center, which awaited him open and lubricated.Both moaned at the penetration.Elijah, from pleasure because of how tight his mate was, and Ophelia, from discomfort.It was only the beginning, and she felt she had been too brave and provocative.Now, she had to face the consequences."Relax, love, it will only hurt at the beginning, I promise," Elijah whispered to her as he sweated thick drops due to the gentle thrusts.He hadn't even passed the critical point and was already uncontrollably wild.Ophelia tried to follow his instructions and open her legs more. Still, the pressure in her belly and the pain of being slowly torn occupied her mind.Elijah lowered his head and devoted himself to sucking her tender breasts to distract her attention, kneading and nibbling them while his hips moved sensually, softly, pen

"I know I've been an idiot. I know what I did deserves your disdain, but please, at least let me tell you why I made those bad decisions. My love, let me explain. I never wanted to take advantage of your innocence, little one. I never thought of fleeing from our bond, not ever again."Elijah, with a dull pain in his chest, tried to approach again, but Ophelia stepped back, too close to the edge, and that terrified him, so he remained still."My father, when he remarried, did it with an Omega, she...""I don't care! Do you understand? I'm not interested anymore in what you have to say!" she yelled at him, full of rage."Because I have the memories here, in my mind, they came back to me, and I saw when my father asked you if you would fight for me, and you ran away like the coward you are!""Even our meeting was by accident. You never sought me out, Elijah. You never did!""I always knew about you; I never forgot you. You've been the only one for me, in my heart. I just didn't want to g

"I did it to protect you. I was afraid you would run away to find your mate. You were always so impulsive and didn't see the consequences of your actions; you were just a girl," Lucian responded in his mind."Do you hate me for that? For having sealed your memories of that encounter? For having restrained your wolf so she wouldn't follow the call of the bond?" He stopped, and Ophelia looked into her father's wolf's yellow eyes, which looked at her with attention and concern.She wanted to be upset and punish him for being so controlling, for interfering in her memories, and for manipulating her life.She had the right to make her own decisions, even if she made mistakes.But she couldn't do it; she couldn't hate him, even if she wanted to.She raised her hand and caressed Lugh's nose, which closed his eyes with relief.This was his first pup, and she had given him so many headaches.She was a woman and still had him running around to protect her."You know I don't hate you, but I hope

"Aisling, that's impossible; how can you know if even father or mother didn't detect it? I was only with the Alpha recently."Ophelia couldn't believe it, but Aisling wasn't one to talk nonsense; she had been too premature in character since birth."Charlie told me, he's the most powerful here; that's why he knows before everyone else," Aisling confessed, worried for her sister, who was turning pale."Ophelia, what will you do? You know that everyone loves and protects the pup here, but the father, will you tell him about his child?Ophelia fell back against the sofa with her eyes wide open.She already had her mind in chaos, her life a mess, and now, because of her carelessness and negligence, a pup was forming in her womb.A pup she hadn't thought for a second about getting rid of. For werewolves, life was sacred.But would she be willing to tell Elijah? For what, what would she achieve with that?"Aisling, you... can help me... can hide it a little from the others... from our paren

"Ancient, there is an important report I must make," John asked permission to enter Lucian's office."Tell me," Lucian raised his head from the documents he reviewed."This morning, an unknown wolf was discovered on the pack's borders. The warriors immediately tried to stop the intruder, but he was too fast. Suddenly, he dropped this envelope, and the men who chased him all agreed. It seemed like a strategy on purpose to get this message to us," John concluded, passing him a sealed white envelope."We've checked it, and it doesn't seem to have anything suspicious, but please, be careful," John warned him worriedly, and Lucian inspected the paper a bit.The outside read, "For the Ancient of the pack, Lucian." It was obviously directed at him. When he opened it, there was just a note that said:"Be careful. Attack soon on the pack for hidden treasure. Prepare defense."Lucian understood it clearly from the start."John, immediately, it seems someone wants to warn us of a surprise attack
