Morax

A s soon as the word left her perfect mouth, I nearly flipped her around and fucked her against the shower wall.

Mate. She was claiming me. Power hummed in my veins, eager to join with hers.

Instead, I brought my mouth down to hers and kissed her fiercely.

I pressed into her, pinning her petite frame against the wall as I kissed the fucking life out of her.

My perfect fucking mate. The desire to rip her away from this place was overwhelming.

I needed to protect her. Claim her. Own her.

I snarled, kissing her harder, biting her lip and drawing blood.

She moaned into me as I sucked her bruised lip.

Her blood was like the sweetest liquor. My veins pulsed with power as I swallowed down the smallest taste of her lumen power.

Michaela Valdis was stronger than she knew. I could taste it, the smoldering power in her blood just waiting to be unleashed. I finally pulled away, and we both heaved, sucking in oxygen.

“I need to go, little lumen. I spelled the room so no one would hear us and tweaked the camera in the hallway. They will notice eventually.” No part of me wanted to leave her, but protecting her was my priority. So, I would play my role.

She nodded. “I understand. We can do this. Together. We will play our roles for now.”

I stroked her delicate face. “So brave, mae domina .”

I quickly shut off the water and grabbed a towel to wrap her up in before getting another for myself. My cock was still hard as fuck for her, and I willed it to go down. I had a job to do now.

“Do you think you can help Tibby?” Michaela asked, running a brush through her wet hair.

I frowned. “Yes, but it will be difficult. Laszlo has fucked with her mind for quite some time.”

“I want him dead. I want her to spit fucking food into his stupid mouth.”

I chuckled at my fiery mate. “What a filthy mouth you have, princess. I can’t wait to fuck it.”

The blush in her cheeks made my cock throb, and I stalked toward her, stealing another filthy kiss. Her body instantly melted into mine, and I purred at the submission she offered me.

I pulled away, hating it, but knowing I had to go to protect us both.

I gathered the guard uniform that was thrown about and redressed.

Michaela pulled a set of silky pajamas from the closet and slipped them on.

Seeing her in anything belonging to The Obscuritas filth made my blood boil.

Soon enough, I would have her to myself and my mate would never wear clothes again.

I wanted her body on display for me and only me.

Ready for duty once more, I kissed her softly and left the suite.

I whispered a few words and turned the cameras back on.

Technology was easy enough to manipulate.

The guards also all had malleable minds.

If they started to question anything, I’d simply alter their thoughts.

I had to be a little more careful, though, since the Kings would also likely read the minds of their guards.

“Brother, I hope you’re right about all this shit,” I mumbled, wishing Phen could hear me.

We had approximately five months of this shit situation, according to my brother.

When the Snow Moon rose over the winter sky, he would come.

And the only way he would be able to come here would be through Seraphina.

Which meant I had to keep my mate safe and her assassin sister alive and out of the Kings’ hands until then. Fucking hell.
