Chapter Six

Cassian’s POV

Her soft lips pressed to my chest and something inside me snapped like a live wire. June’s kiss was innocent and sweet, and trusting but my body heard it as a demand. My cock, still heavy and slick from marking her, jerked hard against her thigh. I groaned, rolling us so she straddled me, her bare, cum-smeared pussy sliding right along my length.

“Do it again,” I rasped, my hands gripping her hips, grinding her down. “Ride it, little wolf. Let me feel how wet you still are for me.”

She gasped, her nails digging into my shoulders, but the second my thumb brushed the faded mark on her hip which was Adrian’s mark—the old bond flared. Her whole body seized, pain flashing across her face even while her hips kept rolling, chasing the pleasure like she couldn’t stop.

“Cassian,it burns—” she whimpered, yet her clit throbbed against me, slicker than before. The mix of hurt and heat made me feral.

I sat up fast, crushing her to my chest, my mouth latching onto her neck. “I know, baby. I feel it tearing you. Every time I touch you, that bastard’s poison fights back.” My teeth grazed her pulse point. I was so close to marking her.

“But I’m stronger. Let me burn it out of you.”

I flipped her onto her back again, spreading her wide. Two fingers plunged deep, curling viciously while my tongue flicked her swollen clit. She screamed, arching her back, her thighs shaking around my head. The old bond pulsed hotter—I could sense Adrian’s rage through the link, making her cry out in both agony and ecstasy. I sucked harder, scissoring my fingers, pushing her right to the edge.

Then I stopped. Pulled my mouth away and left her dangling, panting and her hips chasing air.

Her eyes flew open in a wild and desperate flicker . “Please

…..don’t stop—”

“Shh.” I crawled up her body, my cock nudging her entrance, teasing the tip inside just one inch before I froze. Every muscle in me screamed to slam home, to knot her, to claim her. Sweat rolled down my spine and Kael howled, clawing to get out. “Not yet. You’re still healing. One thrust and I’ll lose control. I’ll mark you so deep you’ll never walk straight again.”

She whined, trying to pull me deeper, but I pinned her wrists, kissing her slow and filthy instead, my tongue fucking her mouth while my hips rocked in tiny, torturous circles. The friction on her clit had her sobbing my name.

That’s when the mind-link hit like a hammer.

‘Alpha.” That was my Beta’s voice, he sounded urgent urgent. ‘BloodMoon wolves just crossed the eastern ridge. Adrian’s scent is thick. They’re searching for her. And… there’s a female with them that smells like family.’

My blood turned to ice and lava at the same time. Adrian was here, looking for what was mine?

June felt it. Her eyes widened, the old bond flaring viciously again. Suddenly her body went rigid beneath me. “Adrian… he’s….he’s marking her…he's marking Paige right there on the altar. I can see it—”

A flashback slammed into her. I watched it happen as her pupils dilated and her breath stuttered, tears spilling as she relived the exact moment that traitor marked her sister in front of her. Panic moved across her face and she started shoving at my chest, small broken sounds tearing out.

“No….no, not again—”

I moved fast, pinning her wrists above her head with one hand, the other cupping her jaw and forcing her eyes to mine. “Look at me, June. Right here. That’s not real. He’s not touching you. I am.” I rolled my hips once and hard, dragging my cock through her folds so she felt every thick inch. “Feel me. Feel how hard I am for you. How much I’d kill for you.”

Her breath hitched. The panic fractured, melting back into raw need. She surged up, biting my lower lip hard. “Make it stop hurting,” she begged against my mouth. “Fuck the pain away, Cassian.”

I growled deeply. “Yes.” I slid three fingers into her instead, pumping fast and ruthless, my thumb grinding her clit while I sucked bruises onto her throat. She came instantly—shaking, squirting around my hand, soaking my wrist and the sheets. I kept going, drawing it out until she was limp and sobbing my name like a prayer.

But the link flared again. ‘Alpha, they’re at the gate. The female one's screaming threats. She says she’ll drag her sister’s “leftover omega whore” back by the hair.’

Rage exploded in my veins.

That was Paige. That venomous bitch had followed her prey all the way here.

I kissed June once more in a deep and claiming way, pouring every promise into it, then forced myself off the bed. My cock was furious, angry red and dripping, but I yanked my pants up anyway. “Stay here and lock the door behind me.”

She sat up fast. Her hair was wild, her lips swollen and my cum still glistening on her belly. “Don’t leave me—”

“Never.” I cupped her face, my thumb stroking her cheek. “I’m ending this tonight. I will fuck you until you scream my name to the whole pack that you belong to me.

I turned toward the door, my muscles flexing and my wolf half-shifted already.

I heard the shattering of glass downstairs followed by mocking poisonous laugh.

“Oh, Shadow Alpha? I know you’re up there balls-deep in my sister’s sloppy seconds. But I want you to come out and watch me play… or I’ll come up and watch.”

Paige was right here. In my house.

My claws pulled the door open, and I heard June’s terrified gasp behind me.
