For Adrianna, these feelings were new. All of her blood rushed in between her thighs and she felt as though her body had come alive. Their bodies were clashing together to create an unpredictable reaction. He let go of her lips and slowly went down to nibble and suck on her neck. She tried to move his face away with her hands as she was getting confused by her emotions, but he caught her hands and pinned them over her head. As their bodies entwined, there was a subtle squeak of the bed. The only sound s that could be heard were their deep breaths and their heartbeats.

She moaned softly and turned her head to the other side, giving Dmitri more access. He sucked at the base of her neck, creating a hickey, and then gently caressed it with his tongue. He was so turned on by seeing the hickey he had made on her neck that he ran his hand over her bare stomach and ripped away her shirt. Adrianna's stomach contracted as he touched it, making her gasp for air as he continued to abuse her neck. She was squirming for more. She was, naked beneath him, with only her panties standing in the way.

​​

His tongue traveled down to her chest, stopping at her taut nipple. He pressed it down and sucked it so hard that Adrianna winced in pain, while he continued to knead the other mound. She lifted her chest from the bed as her breathing accelerated from the pleasure she was getting from the pain. He released her breast and latched on to the other, continuing his actions.

She was so desperate by now that she her body exploded into an orgasm, and she rewarded him with a soft moan. But Dmitri wanted to suck up her pleasure, so he sealed her lips with his, absorbing her groans.

"Your first pleasure is also mine," he said in between his kisses. Adrianna was unable to focus on his actions as she continued to give in to them. He pressed his bulge against her and grinded it hard enough to let her feel the effect she had on him.

Dmitri wanted to go further down and explore in between her thighs when he was disturbed by Nate who was mentally communicating with him.

His wolf growled at him fiercely and asked him to back off, but Nate insisted.

Liam was in great danger. He was surrounded by over twenty neotides.

Dmitri had to stop himself reluctantly. He hated the bad timing.

He placed his forehead against hers and said, "Adrianna, I have to go."

Adrianna dejectedly looked at him. She bit her lower lip. "Don't…" she heard herself saying as her face heated up in embarrassment.

He smiled and, kissed her lightly on the lips. He released her and covered her with her blanket. "Something urgent has come up…. Sleep well and miss me…"

Adrianna felt frustrated. How could he leave her like that? But she was afraid to show her emotions any more than that, so she stayed quiet and turned her head away so that he wouldn't see her dejection. Dmitri got up from the bed and dressed as he stared at her.

While she was looking in the other direction, the room became silent. She turned to look at him, but there was no one. Annoyed, she flipped onto her stomach and pressed her face against her hands. What had transpired between them was unfathomable. She kept thinking about him as she stroked her neck where he had formed a hickey. Her wolf missed him. She missed him, and she wanted to be near him all the more. She couldn't wait for the night to end. She wondered why it had been just a day and he already had so much influence in her. She wanted to analyze her illogical actions, but failed to do so. In the end, she smiled and slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Liam had been surrounded by neotides. Even though he fought them, it was difficult when all of them attacked together from all sides. He had gotten badly wounded. They were attacking with so much force that he couldn't find the time to mentally communicate with any of his pack members. Somehow, he managed to communicate with Nate because he was, fortunately, in close vicinity.

As he was fighting with them, Nate and Dmitri arrived with the other pack members and, together, they warded off the neotides. But Liam was badly injured. None of the neotides were caught as they had all escaped.

Liam was taken to the healer. Once his wounds were attended to, Dmitri asked him, "Why did they attack you?"

Liam shook his head and said, "I don't know, but one of them demanded that I tell them who is the wolf that practices magic."

Dmitri frowned. "No wolves know magic. That is ridiculous."
