The man had kept many mistresses incilar gobe of his personal servants over ilar year of losarign. The soly ones who’ll ever known the inabot his actions were those of his close kust Emily.
Which is precisely why I’d chosen this particular room for the woman in reside inside of during her tine diere. So that underneath the darkurs of night I have open access to her, our aware of what was going on. Or more to the point so Bhavage weld have the abulary to be with her, where or liscovered the truth of our houd I still slida koose how people would react to the knowledge of my finding my true mute.

Rolling over to lay on her back to look up into the face towering over her, she rolled her shoulderes carelessly. “I wasn’t angry, so I decided ilur a little ropy was inader. 1 hope you enjoyed your incal”
Thared my teeth. How can I enjoy a locking inral that was never delivered to me to have! Considering the one who was supposed to deliver it to mie took it upon herself to top like she’s the lacking queen of Sheba.”
“ol
you must mean me,” Von almost giggled in her mind at the anger easily evident on my fare, finding the humor in it. “Well I was tired. I suured you were capable of going to the kitchen ta ferdli your own food, just as capable of coming upstairs to chastize me for Lailing to.”
Before she could react my hand came down to clamp around her clicoat and liefied her off the bed. Her hack slammed into the surface of the stepped closer until she was hurpisoned by my body. “Don’t push me, little girl. fn not the kind of man you want to fuck with ”
A lamming came from her as she was imprisoned there against the wall, experiencing the full frontal of my body. Von clamped her mouth closed around noises fichi’t want to laminate on “Are you land man?”
I diché’t miss the emphasis on land. The fickle woman determined to point out the evidence of the hundecil member presently luring into her. My cock was hard as a rock, the both of us knew. “Among other things. None of which you want to experience right now, as it could be quite painful for you. Now unless you want to find out why my enemies are so terrified of me, get your little ass downstairs. I attichingery and you will provide mgmy
“Oh okay,” she bit off a mon
As I stepped away from her I couldn’t miss how she almost stumbled out the room, tu adhere to my demund. Nor was I oblivious to why. It the fear of the outcome of what Leould do, as she showed a meal lack of concem. Von Silvervayner was fearless, facing the danger head inn without a concern for her own life. No, it wasn’t fear that compelled her reaction tonight. It was arousal. The host surging up inside of her at my presence, her pussy wetted at the thought of her mate pressing into her.
Grinning inwardly at the thoughs of what could’ve compelled the girl to allere to my demands, I followed behind her. It delighted me to know that she was forced into a decisionsbe never wanted, because the chemestry between us. I wasn’t stupid. Idarned it the moment she stalked into the parkhouse, the same lust had been plemy rangan last night. Nor had it changed. I was beginning to suspect I would have in use that same sexual attraction to control this woma. To bentheriamy will. And no matter how wrong in might be, how debasing it could be for her, I was looking

“Asshole,” Bhuvage growled.
Lanckered “You have her so stop bitching.” My wolf wasn’t thrilled at the state Fil placed the bond between us in, but he didn’t attempt de anga matter further. Just like I’d polaid out to him the girl was in the manor, able to share soine semlileiice of a life together. It was better than nothing aopping in the doorway of the kitchen I motioned her on, staying there as she approached the counter. “Twe come for his majesties dinner,” abe

grumbled underneath her breath. Oh, she most definitely wasn’t happy. The instant the servant pointed towards the toy she betted up the weight of it, backing out of the kitchen. She didn’t even wait around in recieve instructions from me, as she mueveredaround the major. A moment lai
she stepped through the now opened doors of the dining hall, placing it at the foot of the table.
Stalking in after her I was a little troubled at the thought of how easy she’d made her way around the place. Almost like it wasn’t at all the foreign territory it should’ve been, as if she’d been there before. It didn’t make sense. She wasn’t a member of my pack and I wouldve sensed her if sheil come to the puck before last night. Or would I have? Was there the chance she’d entered my borders before, I just hadn’t recognized the woman
Sitting down at the head of the table, I reached for the goblet of wine that she’d poured for me. Iswirled the liquid around as I considered her, iny curiosity getting the better of me. “Have you ever been in my home before? You’re awfully familiar with the place”
Von stepped away from the table when she’d set everything out, though she kept to the sidelines. “Maybe one day I’ll tell you,”
“Sir,” Lordered her.
She of course ignored the order.
“Sit down,” I stressed my point.
Coming to see I wasn’t going to calmly bend down to her whins, Von stepped away from the wall she’d been standing at. Releasing an exasperated sigh she moved towards the chair I pointed to, the one on my left. She plopped down. “Are you happy now?”
“Quite,” I assured her. Or as close to happy as I was bound to get, having buried my wife only to be confronted with a mate. At least had my health. For however long the goddess elected me to continue on living in this world
“Feed her,” Bhavage demanded.
Never attempting to argue the decision my wolf came to, I placed down a second plate in front of the woman, I motioned to it. “Ear dinner”
She pushed it away. I’m not hungry.”
“She’s lying,” my wolf elected to jump into th conversation, when I thought to calmly accept the claims she made. Rhuvage was determined he’d be the winner in the outcome, where it came to her eating. “Diamand told me she hadn’t eaten for days. Not since the headed here.”
My brow furrowed. “Diamond?”
“Her wolf,” he stressed. “Her wolf’s name is Diamond”
I was alarmed at this confession. “How the hell are you talking to her wolf? She hasn’t marked me and we haven’t seen her shift!”
“She talks to me.” he replied.
“She talks to you?” I was shocked.
“I do,” a very soft voice entered into the silence of my mind then, that almost dripped with honey it was so sweet. “Hello Kadlen, my name is Diamond. I’ve waited a very long time for you. I am sure you are curious, but right now you need to focus your attention on Von Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, she is your fated mate and she needs to be taken cared of.”
“She’s fine,” I stressed to her NOW,
A low sigh came. “She isn’t fine, Kadden. She hasn’t been for a very long time. She hasn’t eaten for days now, by my count it’s been almost five
days
What? Five fucking days! I was horrified at the knowledge it’d been five whole days since the woman had anything to eat. I missed the importance that five days ago was when my beloved wife passed from the world. Determined to bring this hunger strike of hers to an end. I pushed the plate closer to her view “Either you eat the food or 1 will make you.”
Those rare eyes met mine. “Gonna command mel
“No.” I didn’t have to. Leaning forward in my seat my hand on her thigh, inching ever closer to the apex of her thighs. I grinned triumphly as I noticed her clenching them together and eyes rolled into the back of her head. “There are so many different entertaining ways I can make you do what I want. Now I’d strongly advice you to eat.”
Dropping her head in defeat at the ultimatium placed before her, Von reached for the silverware off to the side. Pleased that she’d conceeded in my wishes in this instance. I focused on my own meal
Chapter Fifteen
Von POV
Goddess. I fucking hated him.
In that moment all I wanted to do was lean across the table and slap that cocky sung (sourk right off his Lace. It took every ounce of self control that i had to keep from giving into dur very urge had. The only thing that stopped me from giving into the impulse was the knowledge of the consequences. This man was the alpha king, he could very well have me killed for thinking of laying a hand on him. Not that he’d actually have me esrouted for the crime against hum. I was his nute after all. To kill me would be his doom
Polishing off the remainder of the food that’d been placed on the plate, I pushed it away fromunte. Seitling the silvewear on the porcelian dish. Lised the napkin to wipe any crumbles from my mouth. “May The excused?”
“Why?” he demanded
I grined my teeth. “To go to my rooms”
“Your free to go,” Alpha Kadden calmly offered the assurances I was hoping for, both stopped me from leaving “I wake promptly at five thirty every morning expect you to be the first thing that I see every day.”
“Yes Kadden.” Thissed
“Leave.” he ordered me.
Leaping to my feet the second he d given the assurances I was able to leave, I stormed out of the dining rooms. I didn’t even pretend to hold it together as i stomped off through the manor, cursing his sorry soul to hell. Frankly, I didn’t give a shit who could hear ine. Nor the reaction I was wire to receive from the servants, for daring to insult their beloved alpha The man had been an insufferable, cold hearted brute from the moment he’d woken up this morning.
Slamming the dour the second stepped into the bedroom, Isdidn’t arteipit to lock it against intrusion. The last time Til attempted to block anyone. from coming inside Kadden had shown me how impossible it was I glared at the door that still hung loosely on the hinges, a heavy wind would blow the damned thing away. Giving the tubborn asshole access to my bednom chambers whenever the hell he wanted to
Needing escape from everything that d transpired since Edwoken up this morning, Imoved towards the french doors. I was presently surprised when they swung open at my touch, proof he hadn’t locked them from being accessed Relieved at this knowledge I stepped out onto the balcony. though I didn’t attempt as escaping. He’d shown me how impossible that would be. Instead I moved towark the trellis on the sale of the manor. scaling upwads towards the root Showing an expertise that’ll leave the rest of them wondering I climb over the edge, then up onto the roof The moment I came to stand on the red ceramic tiles of the mame, carefully moved along the ridges, I showed none of the concern another would’ve felt, having done this a million different times, During my youth I’d often had sleep overs with Layla, going to the roof was a solance for me. Directly in the center of the roof there was a three foot drop, into what we’d always refered to as the key roof. A twelve by twelve opening, that allowed us to sit there beeath the stars, outlined by cushioned benches
Slowly lowering down onto the cement flooring of the roof, I used a cushions to pillow my head. My eyes trained on the stars twinkling brightly i the sky overhead, but failed to bring the peace I was hoping for. My mind was too consumed by thmnights of recent events, that lead me to this point in life. All because I hadn’t been able to forget the kind hearted woman Ed known so long ago. At the news of her death I hadn’t been able to stay away a second longer, needing to give my own goodbyes.
A cry rang out into the night.
My head jolted right up off the floor when the noise gained my attention, frantically glancing around. A cry? That was decidingly a baby cry. Id be able to recognize it anywhere, after the number of cries Ed hand back in Elk Springs. The women there seemed to have popped out our of those little suckers every month it seemed. Only it didn’t make any sense. Why was there a baby cry this far outside of town? I knew from years of experience the closest house was a good two mile jog from here, too far to beard a child. Besides, the house in question belonged to Camuna Thom, he most definitely didn’t have a kid,
Nor did anyone inside of the manor, I didn’t think Gramed, a lot had changed since I was gone, and I hadn’t really had the chance to venture around. From what I did know the servants hadn’t changed in the two year I’d been gone from town. Most of the servants were getting on in their years, even as young as they looked were mostly in their fifities. Far too young for little ones of their own. And though a few younger ones were in the employment, I didn’t get the sense of any of them having cubs. There was a distinct scent to new mother wolves, warning any preditory creature off
from there.
“What are you doing up here? came his
Dragged out of my thoughts, I showed no surprise to find Alpha Kadden perched on the ledge above. I knew it’d only be a matter of time before he sensed I wasn’t in the mom and track down my whereabouts. I shinigged nonchalantly, “I was enjoying the stars. You said that I had to stay here, you never said I was a prisoner inside of your home.”
“Come on,” he told me.
Deciding not to argue with the man this one time I climbed up to my feet and took the hand extended out to me. He assisted me to come stand at his sade on the roof up above, allowing his hand to drop away. Realizing that the reprieve was short lived Imanuevered around the roof, headed towards the trell. Though rather than climbing down to insure my own safety, Heapt to the balcony down below. Landing perfectly on my feet. I stalked through the french doors to my current briddrusin.
Kadden was right behind me every step of the way, though he sealed off the doors when he came side. “Please don’t lock them.” I found myself
