The moment Olivia felt the sharp pain in her belly, the Vampire King made his appearance.Seraphine had been given some of Lucian’s blood and gathered enough strength to transform into mist.He didn’t want to ride on anyone’s back, and turning into mist was the fastest way to travel.He lagged slightly behind because those werewolves ran like the wind, and he was still weak. But as soon as he materialized on the porch, he knew his life had changed forever."This can’t be!" he exclaimed, stepping back as his eyes fell on Olivia’s rounded belly while Lucian embraced her."What the hell is going on here, King Seraphine?" Lucian’s tone shifted from courtesy to hostility.Seraphine had saved his pups, but his presence was clearly causing Olivia distress."I’m fine, Lucian. It was just the pup. It moved too quickly all of a sudden—it was painful, as if reacting to something… or someone," Olivia explained, lifting her head to look at the striking man with jet-black hair cascading past his sh

The laboratory she had founded with a group of researcher friends but couldn’t sustain due to lack of funding had taken an incredible turn. First, it found a sponsor for a private investigation, and now, two mysterious millionaires had appeared and bought up all the shares.In less than a month, her old lab, which had revived somewhat thanks to the initial sponsor’s capital injection, had reached a level she could have never dreamed of when she started the project.“Here’s the security footage you requested. The tech team will set up a direct feed to this computer in your office,” Carl said, handing over a small USB and placing it on the desk.“Good. You can leave,” one of the men replied, dismissing him.Carl left to attend to his tasks, leaving the two bosses alone.The man standing by the window moved closer to the one seated behind the massive desk.They inserted the USB and began reviewing the footage of Rose from the moment she arrived at the lab.Her expressions of wonder, joy,

Maell glanced at the marks still visible on Niall's wrists and ankles.They had to chain him to control his wolf’s rage upon waking and believing the bond with his mate was broken, thinking he had been abandoned.Finn was more rational, but he too tore at his skin, fighting with Lucian until he collapsed, exhausted and wounded, too drained to keep thinking about her.As soon as Niall and Casey stabilized, they set off to track Rose. They didn’t care about anything else—only their mate.Rose had failed them as their mate, but they wouldn’t let her go. They would find her, even at the ends of the earth. They couldn’t live without her and were willing to do anything to bring her back."Alright, the next candidates, please step forward," the moderator announced, reading several names, including Rose's.She stood up, her dizziness still lingering, her legs like jelly. She took a seat alongside three other women in front of the panel conducting the evaluation.Of course, her mates were sitt

"Besides, your powers will emerge whether you like it or not—someday, you won’t be able to control them," Niall added, pinching the bridge of his nose."We just wanted to give you our strength so you could master it, so that ‘thing’ wouldn’t harm you, so you could control it first. Not just to find that damn dragon, but for you too, Rose.""We wish we could take on everything that scares you, transfer it all to us, fight your battles, and face your demons. But only you can do that. The problem is, you’re a coward—a master at running and escaping. Did you ever care about us, even a little? Did you feel anything for us?""Niall...""No, Maell! If I don’t get this off my chest after these two months, I swear I’ll explode!" Niall growled at his brother before turning back to Rose."Do you know what this is?" He showed her the deep scars on his wrists and ankles, marks so severe they had become permanent."They had to chain me like a savage animal because my wolf couldn’t think of anything

Maell's hips began to move inside that hot cavity, driving deeper and deeper into her.“Mmm... I love your cock, Maell,” Rose’s lustful thoughts escaped her mind, driving the twins wild.“Mmm, fuck, love. Rose, I’ve missed you, baby. I’ve missed you so much I thought I’d go insane,” he confessed, looking down at how she devoured him with her lustful lips, making wet, obscene sounds.Rose opened her golden eyes and looked at him sensually, boldly letting him know in her mind how much pleasure she felt having him inside her—how much she had missed him too.Maell grew even harder at her brazenness, his hips hammering as he thrust deeper into Rose.“Mmmm,” the vibrations in Rose’s throat made him lose his mind as she responded to his brother’s advances.Niall had had enough of the so-called "punishment." Watching Maell enjoy an incredible blowjob while he played the angry act felt ridiculous—and jealousy was eating at him too.He unbuttoned his pants and freed his hard cock with a groan,
