Chapter 126

• Aurora POV
• The knot stays locking us together, for a fleeting moment, I think it’s over, I think that the fire consuming me will finally ebb, that one time was enough to sate the heat. But as Killian’s breath raggedly fans across my neck, the bond thrumming with a satisfaction that feels too much like victory, the heat doesn’t fade. It lingers, a smoldering ember beneath my skin, flaring back to life with a vengeance that steals my breath. My wolf whines, desperate, clawing for more, and I realize with a surge of panic that it wasn't calming after all, it was simply my wolf enjoying the moment.
• Killian’s lips brush my ear, and the way his voice sounds, sends a shiver down my spine “I meant it, Aurora. Your wolf won’t let this be once. You've angered both wolves. But I also meant everything, I’ll spend all night making you scream, knotting you again and again, if it keeps you alive.”
