“Among other reasons. You need to forget her. There’s nothing you can do to help her now… if she even wants your help.” Cora tilted her head at him. “You need to decide what you want. If you want to return to the Zones, we can help. I do not think you’ll be much safer there, but it is your decision. Or you may come with us to Riversong Territory.”
“And if I want to stay here… with Bella?” The idea of leaving her behind was unfathomable. She hadn’t asked for this any more than he had.
“I would not advise that.”
“Why? You just said the Wolf would not harm us.”
The smile on Cora’s lips disappeared, and she gave him a hard look that questioned his intelligence.
“No, I said Malachi would not harm Bella. You, on the other hand…”
“Why would he hurt me?”
“Because your father killed his mate.”
Bella
Moaning, Bella moved her hips upward to meet the Wolf’s thrusts. She clawed at his chest wildly when he didn’t move hard enough, fast enough. She needed him deeper inside her, but instead of giving her what she wanted, he took her wrists in his hands and pinned them down on either side of her head.Writhing, she cried out in protest, her pussy clenching around him as she sobbed with need.
His head lowered to her breasts, taking a swollen nipple between his lips and sucking hard as he moved with steady, rhythmic strokes that drove her wild. She wrapped her legs around the backs of his thighs, urging him onward. He switched breasts, tormenting her other nipple the way he had the first while she begged and writhed beneath him.
The thick bulge of his knot began to press at her, and her body screamed out with the need to feel it inside her. Crying out, she drove herself up against him as best she could, her inner muscles rejoicing when the knot pushed inside her and began to thicken, pressing against her inner walls as they spasmed around it.
“Please!”
Bella sobbed as her climax slammed into her, wreaking havoc across her body as the pure pleasure swamped her. Rolling waves of ecstasy wracked her senses, stealing away her sight and breath as hot liquid filled her. The knot pulsed inside her, pressing against her walls, making her feel as if she was utterly engorged with his cock.
His mouth covered hers, drinking in her cries, his tongue invading her the same way his cock had. The buds of her nipples rubbed against the wiry hairs of his chest, stimulating the small nubs and adding to the tumult of pleasure curling through her. He rocked against her as the last pulses of his cum spurted within her.
Moaning, Bella went limp beneath him, her pussy still squeezing him spasmodically. Bracing himself on his elbows, he lifted his lips from hers, looking down at her and studying.
“What… oh… what is happening?” It wasn’t the question she was originally going to ask, but just as she’d started to speak, the cramping need had pulsed through her again.
“Your first heat, pet.” There was sympathy in the Wolf’s green eyes as he looked down at her. “It will not be easy because you were on the suppressors for so long.”
That was an understatement. She cried out again as another cramp twisted her insides, eased only when the Wolf rocked against her, rubbing himself against her clit. The little spasm of pleasure pushed away the painful twinges, leaving her panting as her arousal began to stir again.
“Don’t worry, Pet,” the Wolf whispered in her ear, rocking against her, so his knot pulled at her body. It hurt, but it felt so good, and as another gush of fluid poured into her, the cramps faded even further. “I’ll take care of you.”

SINS OF THE FATHER
Aria
Watching the Sigma, Alek, pacing around the room, Aria had to sit on her hands to keep from going to him. He was very upset, and she hated to see anyone upset, even if it was a Sigma she was worried was going to replace her with her Alphas.
Finally, he came to a stop and glared at Cora.
“You’re calling my father a murderer.”
“He certainly wanted to be one.” Cora was completely unfazed by his glare, though just catching the edge of it made Aria want to start stacking cushions around her and find a safe space to nestle into. She made a humming noise under her breath, instinctively reacting to him as if he was an agitated Alpha.
Alek rolled his shoulders, moving his head back and forth.
“You’re not making any sense. You’re saying he killed someone, but he only wanted to be a murderer?”
“He didn’t mean to kill Tatiana,” Cora explained, watching Alek closely.
