Caged Wolf (Darkmore Penitentiary, #1)

by Caroline Peckham

“Don’t snigger at me, don’t smirk or smile or flirt. Your charm won’t work on me and it will only buy you punishments. So if you want to get on my good side, you’ll learn to bow your head and keep your lips shut around me.”

Cain chilll

A rap of knuckles came at the door. Skin against metal. The closest thing to contact with another Fae I’d had for three months. And for an Incubus like me, that was one helluva fucking ache in the balls.

Oh

I could end her whenever I wanted. Because if I decided I needed someone dead, their number was up. No question about it. I’d put the Grim Reaper out of work a long time ago. But I wasn’t going to kill Luscious, not so long as she was valuable.

Oh... Oklol

Incubuses were shapeshifters of the best fucking kind. We could slip into the skin of anyone’s deepest, darkest desire just by touching them and sensing it in their flesh. And the best part about that was, I held onto every skin I’d ever owned.

The truth was the truth was the truth. I never told a lie. Not intentionally.

The way i saw this and went oh hes a Sagittarius isnt it. He is...

Fact number one: I was a killer. The cold blooded, splatter on the walls, smile on my face type. I was a rent-a-kill hitman made perfectly for such a job considering my Order. And the reason I loved it so much? I was hired by the meanest fuckers in the kingdom to kill even meaner fuckers. I was only ever called in to slay the worst of the worst, asshole-of-Solaria types.

This Is What Happens To Fae Who Fuck With Sin Wilder. P.S. Happy Holidays.

Hes so unhinged

Number two: I needed sex to function. My Order demanded it to restore my magical reserves, so sex was on my brain. A lot.

Number three: My real name was not in fact Sin Wilder. It was Whitney Northfield. Fucking…Whitney.

Ok well...me too asshole

She’d left me wrapped in a blanket with my name stitched into it, so either that crazy fuck had hoped I’d be found – in a dumpster, bitch!! – or she forgot she’d left me there with a tiny clue of my past.

But three months in here had me humping the walls and those abrasive bricks didn’t play nice. Not even when I sweet talked them. And for someone who liked it rough, sandpapering my dick was still a hard limit even at this level of desperation.

I---

Something called Physical by Dua Lipa burst into my ears and yes – yes yes yes yes. My veins hummed with energy as the fast beat of it slammed into my soul and made life worthwhile again.

Hes insane...

I need a girl with hands as soft as butter and plump lips to wrap around my cock and smear her lipstick all over it. I need one with hourglass curves and dark hair that spills down her back like nightfall.

So Rosa

I could spout the alphabet or discuss my plans to murder the rulers of Solaria, no one would care either way.

I care

Baby, sweetness, king of the stars, devil boy, sex Alpha, daddy, big boy, my-husband-will-be-home-soon, Captain Big Dick, chocolate prince, honey badger – I could have gone on for days.

Lmao

Roary’s heavy breathing kept me company as he slept and I smirked to myself as I remembered the time me and Dante had drawn cocks all over his and Leon’s faces when they’d spent the night at ours. Nemean Lions were infamous for their lazy ways and sleeping habits and we’d shamelessly taken advantage of what deep sleepers they were.

Lmao!

“Yeah, he’s a Monolrian Bear Shifter. They replenish their magic by stocking their home with supplies and hibernating, which means his cell is basically a trash heap.”

Roary cut me a glance but he didn’t comment, hooking his pinky finger through mine for a moment before releasing me again. It was innocent enough but my stomach flipped over and my heart leapt like he’d just kissed me, not brushed his fingers over mine. Grow the fuck up, Rosalie. He’s never been the one for you!

“But ah- is that the best idea?” Hastings asked hesitantly. “Putting an Oscura in the kitchens? It’s all Lunars in there. Shadowbrook will kill her if-” “Are you afraid of the Lunar Brotherhood or their leader, Twelve?” Cain demanded, his eyes hard. “The Brotherhood are the ones who should fear me,”

this prison in his bed within the first year of his sentence. Aside from his manwhore tendencies, he was brutal and bloodthirsty and if the photographs I’d seen of him were anything to go by, he was hot as all hell too.

“Get on your knees and I’ll give it to you.” I laughed, tossing my hair over my shoulder and turning my back on him. It was damn hard to do, but I wasn’t going to bow to this Alpha. And

Ooooooo

A dark laugh escaped him and I had to bite my lip to stop myself from leaning into him as my muscles tightened at that sound. I had thought getting close to the Lunar Alpha would be difficult but it wasn’t. It was harder to keep away.

So quickly

“I haven’t decided yet.” I took another bite from my apple and Ethan shifted forward, biting into it too. I inhaled sharply as his hands moved from the crate behind me to grip my waist and he pinned me firmly in his gaze.

Woof

There was something about this stranger which called to me like the song of the stars themselves. I wasn’t sure if it was fate or pheromones, but my body was aching to find out.

Down girl

His hands found my jumpsuit and he pushed it off of my shoulders in a move so casual, he had to have had way too much practice doing it. I growled at the thought of that, my Wolf not wanting him near any other women despite the fact that I’d literally just met him.

Uh oh

Ethan growled as his hands brushed along my bare thighs before he shifted them up beneath my tank top, his calloused fingers moving over the firm muscles of my stomach.

I have doubts thia is what Cain was thinking

He tasted like honey and sin.

Yum

He hooked his thumbs into my panties and bent low to drag them off of me, his fingers running down the full length of my legs as he helped me out of them and ended up kneeling before me. He looked up into my eyes with a heat in his gaze that had me aching for him and I had to fight not to pant with desire. “What’s your name?” he demanded like he needed to know and I laughed, dragging my white tank top off to complete the job he’d started and pulling the shapeless bra with it so that I stood entirely naked before him. “I thought you were meant to be earning it?”

Damn

“Rosalie,” Ethan groaned and I had to admit my name sounded damn good on his lips. “Now you’re about to find out what it’s like to be owned by the top dog.” Ethan gripped my hips and flipped me over, bending me over the wooden crate before him and fisting a hand in my hair as he prepared to take. A growl escaped my lips. That was how Alphas fucked their bitches, but I sure as hell wasn’t one of them.

Ope

“What are you doing, little she-wolf?” Ethan demanded as I pushed him further back onto the mound and shifted so that I was straddling his hips. “Haven’t you ever let the girl take charge, Ethan?” I purred, my hands sliding down his chest until I was gripping the hard length of his dick.

Get him girl

I started moving faster and potatoes tumbled all over the floor as Ethan shifted upright to steal another kiss from me.

Sex potatoes

“Fucking hell, Rosalie, where did you come from?” Ethan breathed, his fingers sliding through my hair and sending tingles dancing across my scalp.

The Oscura clan...

“Were you hoping for a thank you?” I teased. “Or just a pat on the head for being a good boy?”

“I see that you’re not suited to kitchen work after all, Twelve,” he said in a low voice as we walked. “But I’m sure I can come up with something even better for you.”

Grumpy

But I didn’t usually fixate on a girl after I’d claimed her. So why wouldn’t she get out of my damn head?

Love

If the guards put Oscura Clan scum in here, they knew they’d end up dead before the day was out. So they tended to keep us separate as often as they could.

Oh lol

She liked me – like most women did. Rosalie needed her own kind around her and I didn’t want her enrolling in the Oscura pack before I could get my hands on her. She had the signs of an Alpha about her. And if that was true, I’d have to force her to bow to

Oh sir

“No,” I sighed, reaching out to brush my thumb across her cheek, doing a good impression of a guy who really gave a shit. “I’ll catch you later though. You know you’re my one and only.”

Hes so full of shit

“We were just talking, love.” I moved forward, pulling her close and running my nose up her neck towards her ear. She didn’t smell as good as Rosalie. Dammit, stop thinking about the hot new Wolf. “You know you’re my one and only.” She giggled softly as I pulled away and I winked. “I’ll catch you later.”

Such a slut

“I’m challenging you, Alpha. I want this Wolf as my own,” I growled, rolling my shoulders back. “Oh really?” Amira laughed like I was missing something. “You sure you want this pup in particular?”

Oholol

“I’m Rosalie Oscura of the Oscura Clan. I was raised by Bianca Oscura, mother of the Storm Dragon who I’ve ridden with in the clouds countless times.” I fell back a step, horror sinking into my bones. My skin crawled with ants as I felt her hands everywhere on me, remembering her touch like a burning flame. “No.” I shook my head, denying it. “No!” I snapped, lurching back into her face and baring my teeth. “Do you know who I am?!” I bellowed and silence rang out in the yard as every single head turned in our direction. That smile of hers danced, lighting a fucking furnace in my chest as she nodded.

Oh nolol

“Fix the mess you’ve made or you’ll both lose Compound privileges for a week!” Cain roared and I pushed myself to my feet, my head spinning, but I still managed to laugh at Rosalie on the ground. That whore deserved to hurt for what she’d dared do to me.

Boo hoo Ethan

“Why would you do this?” I demanded and she batted her lashes like she was entirely innocent of anything. “Do what Ethan?” “You know what!” I fought the urge to attack her again, starting to pace as I clawed a hand through my hair. “I’m your enemy, why would you even want to fuck me? You knew who I was!”

Lub

She reached for me, stroking her fingers across my arm and her magic tingled gently against my skin. “Honestly? I was drawn to you…don’t you feel this connection between us? We’re perfectly matched.”

I was going to tear her throat out and show her who the true Alpha of this prison was.

I doubt it

At the end of my second day of living at the pleasure of the Celestial Throne in the sanctuary for deeply darkened Fae which they called Darkmore Penitentiary, we were finally called out for a session in the Order exercise yard.

You literally could be pardoned bitch

Gah, he was even more attractive than I remembered from my teenage fantasies. Honestly, how was it fair that someone could have such perfectly chiselled features and eyes like molten gold? It was no wonder I was always blushing around him. He looked like some kind of Demigod, especially with that dark hair spilling around his face and the light catching in his eyes…

Meow

I flicked my long hair back over my shoulder as I turned back to look at Roary and my damn mouth dried up as I found him watching me in nothing but his black boxers, almost every inch of his golden skin on show as he leaned against the wall and waited for me. His eyes moved down my body as I stood before him and I bit my lip as goddamn butterflies warred in my stomach. He was just, so…urgh. I’d really thought that after all of this time I wouldn’t still feel this way about him, but it was like he’d taken a piece of me hostage and no matter how long I’d been free of him, that piece would always be his.

Now fuck

was Rosalie goddamn Oscura and I didn’t bow to anyone, let alone fall apart over pretty boys with gorgeous hair. And fuck me, Roary was better than pretty, he was like a damn Viking warrior with a slice of utterly irresistible smothered on top. Everything

Roary watched me tracing the lines of my ink until my fingertips touched on my leg and he stepped forward suddenly, grasping my waist and pressing me back against the wall. “Be careful what you wish for, Rosa,” he warned in a low tone which just about had me undone.
