Chapter 3

• Karin
• Those words ignore a heat within my body, something no other man has ever managed to do. I’m actually shocked. I’ve read about hot men, but I always felt as if those scenes with the woman growing aroused were exaggerated. Now, I know they are not. Not when I’m standing naked against Alpha Killian.
• His intense gaze holds mine captive as he moves his hands lower to trace my hips. His fingers dance over my skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. The proximity is doing funny things to my heart—it’s beating so fast and loud that I’m sure he can hear it.
• “Is this your first time, Anna?” he asks gently, his blue eyes searching mine for an answer.
• I swallow hard, unsure of how to respond. I can’t lie to him; I’ve never been good at lying. Unable to meet his gaze anymore, I nod and stand perfectly still as the pad of his thumb skims slowly over my trembling lower lip.
• His expression turns from surprise to something softer and I get the feeling he knows I’m afraid.
• “I like the color of your eyes. You’re truly beautiful.”
• “Th-thank you.”
• He falls silent for a hot minute before his voice echoes in my ears once again.
• “Would you like to stop?” His voice is so gentle, so patient that I almost cave in and confess everything. But I don’t. Instead, I shake my head fiercely.
• “No,” I whisper quietly, “I trust you, Killian.”
• He smiles at that and bends down to press a gentle kiss on my forehead. His lips linger there for a brief moment before he pulls back to look at me again, his eyes dark with an emotion I can’t quite decipher.
• “I know the rumors describe me as a fierce and heartless Alpha, but I want you to know I’m not like that when it comes to you, Anna. You’re the woman I’m going to claim as my mate on our wedding day and the future Luna of the Dawn pack. You’re also the future mother of my children—I would never hurt you. Not when you’re so very precious to me.”
• He places a hand gently on my belly, his eyes never leaving mine as the water from the shower continues to wash over our naked bodies.
• “I cannot deny the primal urges that run within my veins,” he confesses, “But I can control them…for you.”
• My heart stutters in my chest. I know his words are meant for my sister, yet I can’t help but want Alpha Killian more than I want my next breath. He is so gentle with me, something I’m not used to as an Omega.
• “Is…is that right?”
• “Yes,” he leans in close again, kissing my forehead as if incapable of not showing me affection, “I will go as slow as you need me to, Anna, and tonight, it will be all about you.”
• Without warning, Alpha Killian kneels before me, but even on his knees, the man is still intimidating. His broad shoulders and muscular frame remind me of his power. He is intense to be around, but there’s a tenderness in them that makes my heart flutter.
• His hands encircle my waist, pulling me closer until his lips are against my pubic bone. I haven’t shaved and blush deeply, afraid Alpha Killian will find it repulsive.
• But he doesn’t stop kissing the area and instead moves lower, growling once he inhales me.
• “Fucking hell, Anna…even your scent is intoxicating. You smell like strawberries and warm summer days,” he murmurs before sticking out his tongue and lapping at my skin, sending shivers of desire coursing through my veins.
• I gasp and clutch at his broad shoulders for support, my legs suddenly feeling weak. Killian glances upwards, a roguish grin on his face as he continues his sweet tortures.
• “Do you like that, Anna?”
• I barely manage a nod, my breath hitching as his mouth continues to explore. His hands move to grip my thighs, holding me steady as his tongue works its wicked magic.
• “Yes...right…right there!” I gasp, surprised by the huskiness of my voice.
• Alpha Killian’s grin widens, and he growls in approval, the vibration of it sending ripples of pleasure shooting through me. He seems pleased with my response, his eyes flashing with possessive satisfaction.
• “I love hearing the noises you make when I lick you… I wonder...how much more can you take?”
• His last words stir up a storm of feelings within me. I want more of him and can hardly wrap my head around what is happening, but my body is already responding, guiding me through the surge of passion.
• “I…I don’t know…” I respond honestly, my voice coming out as a breathless whisper.
• His eyes meet mine again, and the intensity in them makes me even more aroused.
• “Shall we find out?” He chuckles darkly, but he doesn’t wait for me to answer the question.
• Before I can react, he starts kissing his way up my inner thigh, making me moan at the slow, agonizingly pleasurable torture. His hands caress my waist once more as he moves higher…a lot higher than before.
• I gasp as I feel his warm breath against my center, his tongue following shortly after. The pleasure is indescribable and has me gripping his hair tightly while throwing back my head in ecstasy.
• Killian must be an expert in knowing what I enjoy because he repeats his actions until my knees buckle and my body shakes with pleasure.
• But Killian doesn’t care that I’m already weak. His strong fingers tighten around my thighs, holding me upright as he continues to lavish attention on my most intimate part.
• “Killian...oh god...” I moan, clutching tightly at his dark hair. He simply chuckles, his breath sending waves of desire coursing through me.
• “Say my name again,” he whispers against my skin, “I want to hear it on your lips.”
• “Killian…” The name leaves my mouth in a low moan. Killian hums at that, the vibration causing sparks of pleasure to burst behind my closed eyelids.
• It feels so good.
• …is this the beginning of an orgasm?
• As if reading my mind, Killian asks, “Feels good, doesn’t it?”
• “Yes...” I gasp out, the pleasure so intense that holding on to Alpha Killian is all I can do to remain standing.
• But my control is about to disappear.
• As Killian continues to pleasure me, I feel a strange tightening in my stomach, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
• “Oh…my…god…”
• My breath hitches in my chest, and my fingers grip Killian’s hair so tightly that it must be painful, yet he doesn’t call me out. Instead, he continues his torturous assault, driving me closer and closer to a feeling I never knew existed.
• “I love how your body responds to me,” Killian murmurs between licks. “You’re like a toy, but better. So much better.”
• My moans grow louder and more frantic as the pressure from his tongue becomes unbearable. Then, with a gasp, I careen over the edge, tumbling into an abyss of pure pleasure. My body convulses and shudders as I experience my first orgasm, all thanks to Alpha Killian’s talented mouth.
• He holds me steady, his hands firm on my trembling thighs, lips still pressed against me. He continues to draw out the experience, turning what could have been a fleeting moment into a drawn-out wave of pleasure that leaves me gasping for breath and clinging to him for support.
• When I finally come back down to earth, Alpha Killian rises from his kneel with an air of satisfaction, his eyes dark with desire. His gaze meets mine and I see a hint of possessiveness there, making me blush even deeper.
• “You’re mine now,” he murmurs. “Only mine.”
• I stare up into his eyes and feel incredibly guilty. Alpha Killian has been nothing but gentle with me, and here I am, pretending to be my sister. I’m a rotten imposter, but I know better than to tell him the truth since I want to live.
• So I keep my mouth shut and Killian must take that as a sign I’m tired because he effortlessly lifts me from the floor and gently carries me to the bed.
• I strain to keep my eyes open as he lays me down on the soft, plush duvet. It’s much softer than the old bed I have at home, and it doesn’t make things easier when Killian strokes back my hair with desire burning in his eyes.
• “Rest now,” he orders, a gentle command in his voice that makes my heart flutter despite myself. “I will take care of you in the morning.”
• Panic swells within me. “Wh-where are you going?”
• “I have some Alpha duties to take care of.”
• Even though I know I shouldn’t beg him to stay since it will be easier to escape when morning comes, I find myself whispering, “Please stay.”
• Surprise flickers over his face. “Didn’t you tell me you didn’t want me to sleep beside you?”
• I realize my sister must have asked Alpha Killian not to sleep in the same bed since she knew how hard it would be for me to escape in the middle of the night with a big, muscular man hugging me close.
• But I don’t want to flee the scene, at least not until morning comes. Being around Alpha Killian is addicting, and even though it’s ridiculous, I can already find myself falling a little for the
• Alpha. A man who is supposed to be my sister’s.
• Swallowing down my guilt, I whisper, “I changed my mind.”
• Killian’s eyebrows furrow at my response, but he doesn’t protest. Instead, he joins me under the duvet, his large frame instantly warming up the cool sheets.
• My heart races in response, and I almost pass out when he becomes my big spoon and asks, “Are you comfortable?”
• I sniffle at his question. I’m not used to people being nice to me, and Killian stiffens.
• “Why are you crying?”
• Damn it, he probably thinks he did something wrong when, in reality, he has done everything right!
• “I…I just think you’re so nice,” I sniffle.
• Killian remains still for a moment before he chuckles and kisses the back of my neck, murmuring in an amused voice, “You’re so silly…”
• A bubble of joy rises within me at his words, and I nestle deeper into his arms, sighing contentedly. Despite the layers of deceit between us, this moment feels undeniably real—intimate even. His breath fans across my neck, and his arms tighten around me, drawing me impossibly closer to him.
• “Get some sleep, Anna,” he murmurs into my hair.
• “I will,” I whisper back, wishing I didn’t have to switch places with my sister the next day.
• But this isn’t a fairy tale.
• When the morning birds sing, I leave Alpha Killian. My father would beat me to a pulp if I stayed a minute longer and if I told Alpha Killian the truth…well…I would probably die if I did that. Not only have I deceived him by pretending to be my sister, but I’m also the pack’s wolfless Omega—Alpha Killian would be repulsed if he knew his tongue was pleasuring the Omega, not my perfect, stronger sister.
• Legendary Alpha Killian would rather die than be associated with a weakling like me.
• With that thought in mind, I climb down the stairs and find Emma waiting for me in her red Fiat. She is smoking outside of it, grinning when she sees me.
• “How was it?”
• I blush at her question. “We…we didn’t do it.”
• Right then, my sister climbs out of the car with her burning eyes seeking contact with mine. “You’re telling me that you were alone with Alpha Killian—the one you were supposed to get pregnant with—and you didn’t do anything? Why?!”
• “He... He was a gentleman,” I defend weakly. My cheeks burn hotter as I remember just how much of a gentleman he was. “I…I think we will have sex next time.”
• “Next time? The fucking audacity!” My sister growls and stomps toward me with her hand in the air.
• I close my eyes before the slap comes, feeling the sting on my skin, yet unable to do anything about it. I just stand there, defenseless, as my sister spits on my face.
• “Useless. Absolutely useless!” she snarls. “You had one job, Karin. One simple job… Do you even realize how hard it is to get pregnant with an Alpha that isn’t your mate? A knot won’t happen, especially since you don’t have a wolf so you better do it right next time, or I will make your life more of a living hell. Do you copy?”
• I swallow thickly. “Y-yes, I understand.”
• I guess there will be no more sweet moments with Alpha Killian unless I want to face the consequences…
