London was once a devoted Gamma, but fate has given him a second life as the Alpha and Lycan King, haunted by a deep-seated hatred for women and the mate bond. Unable to recall his past life, he now faces a new destiny intertwined with a woman who lost everything in one tragic night. When he rejects her, he risks losing all he's ever desired. His mate hides a crucial secret, and despite his indifference, this secret might just turn his world upside down. *************** I yelped, squirming, but quickly stilled myself, knowing one wrong move in this position and I’d fall. And London sure wasn’t going to catch me. The glint in his eyes made that clear. Trapped, I was at his mercy, taking whatever he dished out without writhing. His head peeked up from between my legs, squinting as he hoarsely said, “Oh, and one more thing... not a single sound from you, and don't touch me. Don't say I didn't warn you.” What? He couldn't expect me to just shut my eyes and keep it in. Hell, soft moans were already escaping my lips from his previous kisses. “What?” I asked, bewildered. “Meaning, you're not allowed to make any sound, and you're not allowed to touch me, including tugging on my hair; you'd give me a headache,” he huskily said, licking my inner thighs again, inching closer to my wetness. “Or else?” I dared to ask. He gave me a devilish smile before chuckling, “You're free to find out, no?” (Book 2 coming soon!)
