  CHAPTER ONE

  He needed his woman.

  Thane’s need could only be described as a relentless craving. A craving that he’d learned to curtail to protect the woman who owned his heart—to save her from even himself. The urge to ravage her completely would never stop. He was a different animal now. But he hungered for the same woman. The bloodlust inside of him would only build until he gave in and consumed what would satisfy this driving need once and for all.

  Snowflakes fell all around him, piling as high as three feet off the ground around his home. It wasn’t until shortly before the triplets were born that he’d been able to set foot back inside the family home where the tragedy involving his parents had occurred. Newly renovated and restored, the old Silex mansion was now the birth home of his offspring.

  When Kalena had suggested giving birth to his children here, it had surprised him and filled his heart with promise at a time when hopefulness was difficult for him. But out of tragedy, hope was reborn. He had a future eternal mate and three children to look after now.

  As they’d been hired to do, four wolf shifters stood guard at nearly every corner of the house. All of them had spotted Thane the moment he materialized in front of the mansion. They either sat or lay on the wraparound deck or just outside of it on the snow-covered lawn. They were there to guard his new family. The main threat had been eliminated, but Thane wasn’t taking any chances. If the babies weren’t so young, he would bring them with him everywhere he went. Of course, that wasn’t possible. They needed their space and time with their mother, too. And more importantly, he wanted to see them grow into independent adults, fully capable of looking after themselves.

  They were only five months old now. Two boys and one girl. Young and vulnerable. But with him as their father, and the loving-but-sometimes-overprotective Kalena as their mother, their future held promise.

  Thane hardly noticed the biting cold as he peered up at the bedroom windows where the curtains were pushed aside, allowing a nice view of Kalena—his love. He felt as though he was more accustomed to her nightly routine than she was. As expected for this time of the evening, she stood near a dresser while folding and putting away some clothes.

  She wore a long, silk robe that clung to her womanly curves, allowing him to admire how perfect she was. Perfect for him. Her hair was wrapped up loosely and carelessly in a bun, which meant she had recently prepared herself for bed.

  Thane had just arrived home after attending a meeting at UCON’s headquarters out of state, which had resulted in nearly three days of discussions. But decisions had to be made in a timely manner, and none of the Council Heads wanted to drag the issues out over the holiday season. For the last half-year, they’d met to discuss the realignment of all territories, and had nearly accounted for all wolf Packs and vampire covens in the world, among other things.

  Oversight of their kind would only work successfully if everyone were accounted for. The covens and Packs that appeared to have disappeared off the face of the Earth were the main sources of Thane’s—and the rest of UCON’s—concern these days. But business was over with for now. He was home. He hadn’t been able to get Kalena and the triplets out of his head all day. He was looking forward to the rest of this month and vowed to spend every day of his vacation with them.

  Kalena had been patient with him as he worked through the kinks of the neglected position he’d accepted on UCON’s ruling Council just nine months ago. But she didn’t have to verbally express how much their relationship had suffered because of the time commitment involved. He loved Kalena with all of his heart. He didn’t want to lose her. His focus needed to be on her and his babies.

  Every year, UCON postponed all meetings and suspended most business operations so that members could vacation. The holiday season was near, and many wolf Packs and vampire covens had extended their groups to include loyal humans who observed one religion or another and celebrated the special days. This time of year was about family for everyone. Thane had been used to the tradition, up until his parents were murdered. Except for the birth of his triplets, he hadn’t celebrated any holidays since then. This year would be the first. Kalena cherished the holidays, and Thane wanted his future mate to be happy.

  Kalena stopped what she was doing and turned to look toward the window. He noted the smile that blossomed on her lips. She was getting better at detecting whenever he was in close range. That only meant that her body had fully accepted her enhanced abilities as a result of taking shifter DNA. Plus, his old wolf imprints hadn’t faded from her yet. But soon, they would. He wasn’t sure he was ready for them to fade, however. The presence of those imprints bonded them together spiritually. He often wondered if she would fall out of love with him and leave him if they were to diminish. Had she loved the wolf more than the man?


  Kalena came to the sliding glass doors of the balcony and placed her palms on the glass. She wore nothing but her underwear under the long, silky robe. The fabric clung to her skin, revealing more than it concealed. Her breaths fanned against the window, fogging the pane with each exhale.

  Thane’s gums tingled as his fangs threatened to push downward. His cock tightened behind his fly. The passage of time and the birth of his children had not changed his view of Kalena. He needed her, wanted her. And Kalena knew exactly how to drive him back and forth along the edge of sexual insanity.

  As if she knew what he needed, she pushed the robe off her shoulders and let the garment fall to the floor in a heap about her ankles. Thane couldn’t bear to lurk in the shadows a moment longer, and literally flew inside the house and up the two flights of stairs to get to their master bedroom.

  *

  Kalena pulled the door open, and Thane crossed the threshold. She threw herself into his arms, choosing to take his lips instead of letting him speak. They kissed for what seemed like forever. Long, roaming kisses that caused warmth to gather deep in her belly. She parted from him long enough to glance up into his eyes, and was glad to see that he shared her joy after spending several days apart. He had only been gone for three nights, but it had seemed like an eternity.

  “I missed you,” Kalena said, her gaze roaming across him. Her fingers pressed into the hard ridges of his sculpted chest. He didn’t wear a shirt under his leather jacket. Ever since the change, he’d mentioned that he liked to feel the natural air against his skin. She inhaled deeply and took in the woodsy scent that was unique to him. “The babies missed you, too.”

  He kissed her forehead gently. “How are they?”

  “They had a checkup with Dr. O’Neill yesterday. He said they’re healthy. I left their room a little while ago, but will probably be back in there for their last feeding in another hour or so.”

  Kalena followed Thane’s line of sight to her enlarged breasts. They were still heavy with the mother’s milk she used to nourish their babies. A dose of modesty rose within her. Before the feelings could take root and settle, they diminished completely as her body thrummed with arousal and sexual awakening sparked between them. She’d known that he was due to arrive here tonight, and her anticipation had only grown while waiting for him.

  “You’re hungry, too,” she taunted him and shoved the leather jacket he wore off his shoulders.

  Thane’s lips curved up into a grin, and he threw the jacket on the ottoman beside them. When Kalena met his gaze again, desire burned through his bronze-colored eyes. She reached out and touched his hot skin as his chest heaved up and down. To this day, she was still surprised at how warm he was. He could control his temperature, almost as if by magic. One moment his blood could boil hot like lava, and in the next moment, his skin could feel as cold as an iceberg. This new ability of his always made their lovemaking spontaneous and intense. And she looked forward to it every time.

  Kalena felt his heart beating in his chest and against her fingertips. They observed each other intently without speaking and with little movement.

  He pressed his palm against her cheek. “Every night I want you more than I did the night before. It seems I can’t get enough of you. I always want more.”

  “Are you disappointed?”

  “No,” he said firmly. “I just don’t want to hurt you. I knew my animal thoroughly before it left me, but now I’m different. I fear losing control.”

  “I trust you. Completely.”

  She pressed her body against his, and he groaned. His mouth brushed hers. He was gentle with her, stroking her lips with soft nips.

  “One day, Kalena…there will be no holds barred,” he said against her lips.

  “Why not this day? I’m ready,” she murmured back.

  “I respect your life. I love you inside and out, Kalena. Why would you want to be something less than what you already are?” he asked.

  “I want to be more. I want to feel and see everything you feel.”

  He slid both hands down the sides of her torso and then dragged her closer to his chest with strong arms. He took her lips and she let him in, his tongue slipping inside her mouth with a slow, erotic stroke. Her knees grew pliant and she held onto his forearms for balance. She kissed him back with equal passion, her heart racing and her libido blazing as hot as the sun.

  “I want you,” she whispered.

  He reached behind her back and unhooked her lacy bra and tossed it aside.

  Kalena hooked her thumbs into the waistband of her panties and pulled them down the length of her legs.

  Thane stroked his hands up her sides again and cupped both breasts, admiring them under the dimmed lighting in the room. Then he bent his head and pulled her nipple between his lips. The flat of his tongue grazed the top of her breasts, and hot arousal filled her sex. Her clit pulsed eagerly with each tug of his lips to her hardened tips. He lapped hungrily at the liquid that flowed from her nipples.

  “Good gods, Kalena, you taste good,” he moaned.

  His teeth nipped her areola gently. He stroked, pulled, and tugged until she was moaning and shivering against him.

  His mouth descended, leaving a heated trail down her chest and belly until he was on his knees before her.

  *

  Thane couldn’t get enough of her. The rich milky taste of her breasts had just been a teaser of what he knew waited for him between her creamy thighs.

  While on his knees, he pressed loving kisses near her navel and right above the soft downy hair on her sex. His fangs threatened to rip through his gums, but he fought against it. She wasn’t ready. He wasn’t ready. Not yet. He loved her as she was…

  Not able to contain himself any longer, he picked her up, walked toward the bed, and sat her down on top of it. Before kneeling down before her, he quickly undid his zipper and rid himself of his jeans.

  When Kalena dragged her fingers up through his hair, he knew he was done for. He allowed her to steer his head down between her thighs. She was already wet and her pussy looked just as delicious as her milky breasts. He slid his tongue between her sex, and gently pushed back on her swollen labia with his mouth. His shoulders were broad enough to lure her legs wider until she was open and freely offering herself to him.

  Sounds of her pleasure rose throughout the room, encouraging him and causing his balls to draw tightly against the base of his rock-hard cock. He made love to her in this position for a while, dipping his tongue in and out of her pussy until her thighs quaked against his face. He cupped her ass and licked her like he was enjoying exotic candy, alternating between long licks, short licks, and driving thrusts of his tongue into her sweet, tight sheath.

  He was so in tune with her senses that her pleasure was his. All his. Electric waves of blinding sensations passed from her to him and then back again. Her body tensed momentarily, and then she let go, crying out as a powerful orgasm took her. She rocked and shivered against him, arching her back off the bed.

  When Thane rose above her again and met her gaze, her eyes widened in surprise. He realized that he had inadvertently dropped about an inch or so of fang in the process of making love to her. He wanted so badly to feed from her—take her in that way. The urge would never go away.

  Kalena wrapped her hand around the back of his head, bringing him down for a long, deep kiss. Her acceptance signified what he already knew. She wanted it, too. She loved him, despite what he had become.

  *

  Kalena lifted her hips upward, pushing her sex against the crown of Thane’s cock. She was so wet and hungry for him—in more ways than she ever could have imagined. Her body craved everything he had to offer, including his bite.

  He caught her off guard and entered her quickly. She inhaled sharply and then breathed his name against his lips. The thickness of his cock opened her wide, and she milked him until he was buried to the hilt within her.

  His bronze gaze burned brightly into hers. She fell into his
trance almost immediately. His lure. He could have had her any way he wanted. Taken her any way he desired. And she would have obliged him. Because of what he had become, he was more powerful than he ever was before.

  He pushed in and pulled out, slow and steady at first. He held her gently and tucked her close to his chest.

  “More,” she moaned.

  That was all the encouragement he needed, and he began to drive into her. Thick, long thrusts that pounded her back into the bed. She couldn’t form meaningful words any longer, and soon her requests for more and more turned into strangled cries of satisfaction. He worked her pussy, delving deep into her and rocking his hips at just the right angle to hit all her sensitive spots.

  When she finally opened her eyes again, she saw just how fucking aroused he was. In his eyes, she saw how much he wanted her. And how much more he wanted to take. His fangs extended past his lips. His mouth trembled as he growled in avid need. It was the sexiest thing Kalena had ever seen. A man on the edge of losing utter control.

  She arched her back and exposed her neck, offering to him and tempting him.

  She felt the cold tip of his nose against her throat. His hot lips stroked up and down her delicate jugular. It took just one more swipe of his tongue against her throat before another orgasm slammed through her, catching her off guard.

  Thane groaned aloud, lifted his face to the ceiling, and welcomed release himself. Hot liquid streams pulsed up into her. He rode her through their climax, prolonging ecstasy for both of them. They were still interlocked in each other’s arms when the last shudders of pleasure threatened to fade away.

  He held her like that for a very long time. And then he pressed his lips into her hair. “I’m afraid of hurting you more than I’m afraid of you leaving me. My control is fading, Kalena.”
