Strictly 18+. --------------------- “Last time you'd ever leave like that, Raina.” “Like this?” I turn to leave immediately but my skirt flares up, weightless, whipping high, then settles again. The door is already half-open, cold night air rushes through the half-open door and kisses every inch of skin the fabric flashes: backs of my thighs, the curve beneath my ass, the soft secret places he’s already memorized. Vance’s hand shoots out, iron around my wrist, yanking me to a stop. A broken groan rumbles out of him. “Let me see that one more time,” Ryker rasps, voice shredded with heat. Before I can breathe he hauls me back, crushing me to his bare chest. Hot. Hard. Heart hammering against my cheek. “You think you get to decide when you walk away?” he growls against my ear. I tip my head back, give him the slowest, cruelest smile while his arousal presses thick and unmistakable against my stomach through the thin cotton. “I know I do,” I whisper, glaring hard at him. His eyes flash molten gold. “If you step through that door again, I’ll haunt you with every f****g strength left in me.” The promise scorches down my spine like fire over steel. Axel's palm is already sliding under the skirt, rough fingers branding the bare skin of my thigh, climbing higher, greedy, reverent, unstoppable. Good. I arch into his touch, letting him feel exactly how wet his brother's threat makes me. “Then beg nicely, Alphas!” I breathe, sweet as poison. “And maybe I’ll let you keep me tonight.” --------------------------- Raina never had a normal childhood, and every broken shard of it pointed to one man: Alpha Vance.He was the strongest, the most beautiful, the most powerful wolf alive, and her mother never healed from him. The day she discovered he already had a true fated mate and a secret child, he rejected her without a single glance back and threw her out like she was trash. When Goldcrecent pack was invaded by enemy wolves, men were held captives, women violated and children were butchered while their mothers just watched and begged for nothing. Raina's mother was one of the unfortunate ones. They took her, they violated her, and while it happened she screamed for a man too busy saving his real family to even remember she existed.Alpha Vance never looked back.She loved him anyway, loved him so fiercely it hollowed her out from the inside.Raina was conceived that night, born from nameless monsters because the only face she saw belonged to the wolf who discarded her.Raina grew up watching her mother waste away. She locked herself in a dark room, body breathing but soul already gone, lost in an almost vegetative state. She died with Vance's name still on her lips, as if even death couldn’t rip him out of her heart.Raina at eighteen swore at her mum's grave and on every childhood she was robbed of, that she would make the mated Alpha crave her, she will tame him and he'd beg for her, love her more than he ever loved his real Luna, until the guilt and obsession eat him alive and then maybe she'd walk away or decide their fate.She walks straight into the Ironwood Pack to make Vance Austin feel every tear her mother shed but along the line, his sons Ryker 28, heir, Axel 26, younger, ruthless, and starving for her, steps in and gives her a two more hearts to break.Father and sons.All will fall.All will burn.Raina didn’t come to kill them.She came to give them the same gift Vance gave Elena: to be desperately, hopelessly in love with someone who would never choose them back.
