Feral Wolf (Darkmore Penitentiary, #3)

by Caroline Peckham

“When I was in foster care, there was an old lady who used to stop by the home once a month and read us some books. The Wingless Harpy was one of my favourites,” I admitted then inched closer to her. “Can I tell you a secret?” I breathed and she nodded, her fingers moving to press to my chest and graze up to my neck. “I can’t read or write, kitten. No one ever taught me to. I’ve picked up a few things here and there to get by, but put a book under my nose and it’s all just swirls on the paper. I always liked the idea of leaving messages in blood on the walls once I killed though, so I get my victims to do it when it suits.” I pressed a finger to my lips before lowering my voice further. “The carers at my foster home were supposed to home school us, but they never tried that hard with the naughty kids and can you guess who was the naughtiest, honeycomb?”

i am so fucking sad

“No one ever taught me to read when I was a kid either,” she said. “I taught myself after my Aunt Bianca took me in. I know what it’s like to be neglected, for no one to care what kind of life you’ll have without basic skills.” “You have so many skills,” I said. “Your smile is a skill no one in this entire world could master but you. It’s a thousand riddles waiting to be solved, and sometimes you make me feel like I can find the answers.” She kissed me, her lips sugary sweet and tempting, but as she tried to prise my mouth open with her tongue, I held back. “Do you think I’m stupid because I never learned that stuff?” I whispered and she pulled away with a sharp frown. “No, I think you’re incredibile. You’re different and wild and you don’t think like anyone else. I fucking love that about you, Sin.

devastating

Rosalie gave him a quick rundown of everything that had been going on in here while Dante listened attentively. I took the time to have a thumb war with myself and Lefty won two rounds against the reigning champion Righty.

LMAO

“Fuck yes we are,” I whooped, karate chopping the air. “It’s gonna be all pew, pew, pew, pow, pow, pow. Yippe – ki yay mother-” Rosalie pressed a hand to my mouth to stop me as she went on.

hes the funniest person

“I’m an Incubus, muffin, I can literally fuck for days,” I said, prowling toward her, but she yawned and I could see she was dead on her feet. “But you are a sleepasaurus rex. So get on the bed and let me spoon you. Or you can spoon me if you’re feeling your big spoon energy today.”

sleepasaurus rex

“Follow me,” Rosalie said, directing me, Ethan and Roary after her into the cell with Cain. She hung a sheet and cast a silencing bubble, giving us four some privacy – wait, no there was five of us. Six if you counted my cock. Which obviously you did, you dirty fucker. Who am I talking to? Oh the people in my head. Shh, I need to pay attention.

“Oooh,” I cooed, stepping closer as the shiny object called to my inner magpie. I swiped for it but Rosalie held it out of reach, only making me hunger for it more. That’s gonna be my shiny thing.

fjda little goblin

“Don’t. Call. Me. Stupid,” I warned and Rosalie stepped toward me, cupping my cheek. “You’re not stupid, but that idea is. So listen very closely when I say that under no circumstances will we let any other inmate’s magic free apart from Roary’s. Repeat it back to me.” There was a sparkle in her eye, the kind that spoke of our secret language and my mood picked up as I nodded, a mischievous grin pulling at my lips. “Under no circumstances will we let any other inmate’s magic free,” I said, winking at her and she frowned. “Why did you wink?” she hissed. “I didn’t.” I winked again. “Stop it,” she snarled. “You’d better listen to me this time, Sin. I swear to the moon, if you fuck up our plan by doing something as reckless as letting the Belorian out again, I will never forgive you.”

“If you don’t, I’ll have the guys hold you down and tickle you until you use enough magic to get a reading on it,” Rosalie said, arching a brow at him and Cain glowered. “Does that sound like something you’d prefer?” “Can we do it naked?” I asked and Rosalie laughed. “Yeah, I think we will, Sin. All of us can oil up too,” she said and Cain growled furiously. “Fine. Give me it,” he demanded and Rosalie tugged Roary close to Cain as she held the remote out to him, but kept a tight hold on it.

curled up on his bed, looking over my shoulder at him. “Spoon me. Or fork me if you prefer. I just need to be cutleried.”

cutlery him!

“Oh my stars, shut up,” she growled, kissing me again and I wrapped my hands around her waist, losing myself to her soft flesh as my hands slid up her spine. “I’m getting mixed messages,” I said against her lips. “Do you like hooves or are you anti-hoof?” Ethan thumped me in the arm, grabbing Rosalie from my lap and pulling her onto his instead.

I reached out to Ethan’s back and ran my thumb down the length of his spine as it started to vibrate, my skin coming alive with electric energy. “Fuck,” he groaned, pausing what he was doing to Rosalie as he looked over at me with lust in his gaze which I could feel pouring into me in waves. “I call it the Devil’s touch,” I said with a smirk. “I told you I was a man-sized vibrator.”

yum

“You like that, Lion puff?” I taunted. “No,” he said instantly, but his throat bobbed with the lie. “Let him touch you, Roar,” Rosalie encouraged and we both looked down at her as she bit her lip, glancing between us hopefully. I wiggled my brows at Roary enticingly and his jaw ground as he fought between wanting to please his mate and not wanting anything to do with me. “He can’t handle it, wild girl,” I said with a smirk. “Ethan can though. Come here, shadow man.”

spread her legs, moving between them before gripping Roary’s boxers and tearing them off of him, making him get all angry again as he cursed me out. But I was too enraptured with the creature between us to care as I took hold of his cock and drove it inside her for him. “Motherfucker,” he snapped, but it came out all breathy and suddenly he was distracted by fucking her, driving into her pussy with firm strokes that made her back arch against him. I leaned down and lapped at her clit with teasing strokes of my tongue then let her see why the Devil’s touch was fucking amazing as my tongue vibrated against her sensitive flesh.

i love that hes just manhandling roary

I knotted my hand in Ethan’s perfect hair as I acted on that jealousy, wanting to steal myself a piece of their bond as I stepped closer and pressed the tip of my cock to his lips. Even that was feeding him pleasure and he couldn’t resist more of it as he gave in to what I wanted and took my length into his mouth, his hot tongue flicking over the tip and drawing a low groan from my lips.

GRR WOOF GROWL angel wings!!

Hell to the yes, I was literally the god of sex. The king of the orgasm, the mayor of cocktown and pussyville.

“My Vampire was freshly Emerged and though I drank him to the brink of death, unfortunately I didn’t finish the job,” he said bitterly. “He got away?” I asked in surprised and he nodded. “I left him there with his throat half ripped out, figuring the job was done. And I ran as far away from that place as I could, never to look back. But word of his survival reached me eventually and I’ve regretted that ever since,” he said. I brushed my fingers over his shoulders as I gave him a sad look. “Couldn’t you go back and get the blood you were owed?”

im so mad hes not dead

“If it draws you to me, then maybe I’m glad of it too,” he said, leaning closer and my eyebrows arched as I realised he was about to kiss me. Well, in for a penny in for a pound. I curved into his body and took his tongue between my lips, meeting it with my own as I drew him closer. He growled hungrily and his hard cock drove into me in a demand. A laugh snagged in my throat as I stole a dirty kiss from this mouth that belonged to Rosalie, knowing she would have loved to watch the whole thing. Shame he was so uptight really. When he pulled back, I realised I’d released my hold on my Incubus powers and his eyes widened in horror as he realised who he’d just planted a wet smackeroo on. “Hey, fang boy,” I purred and he threw me out of the bed with the strength of his Order.

ope

"I need to do something down on level eight. Who wants to have some fun making sure the Lunar Brotherhood fleabags stay out of my fucking way while I'm at it?" I called.

fuck them up

"I'm fine," Ethan said in a low tone, his gaze moving to the exit where the last of my Wolves were still racing out the doors. "My pack weren't loyal to me the way yours were which means they weren't a true pack. But this bond I feel with you, and what I'm starting to grow with Roary - that's real. It's unbreakable and cast in iron, love. There's nothing that could compare to that and I'm just sorry I took so long to accept it."

"We should get moving," I said, looking around for the others and realising Sin was missing. "I'll go find him," Ethan offered. "He needs to learn to stay with the pack if he's going to be joining us anyway."

the pack!!

"Don't do this," Cain urged, appearing at my side and leaning in close to me as he took hold of my arm. "I know you think you're unstoppable, damn near immortal and able to overcome anything that strays into your path, but you're not, Rosalie. You're as mortal as the rest of us and I..." "What?" I questioned, wanting to hear it, needing him to say his piece even if I already knew it wasn't going to do a single thing to change my mind. "I don't want you to die,"

"Well I'm hardly going to let you walk straight into your death without me," he growled like that should have been obvious.

just admit you love her

"A morte e ritorno," I growled ferociously and the others all echoed it without hesitation. Even Ethan joined in, much to my surprise and as I looked at him with a raised brow, he smiled back at me. "Your family is my family now, love. I guess it’s time I start getting used to that."

EEEEEEEEEEEe ryder is gonna be so proud

"What are you doing, kitten?" he asked, glancing down at me as I pressed my magic up to the surface of my skin and felt his dancing just out of reach beyond it. "I thought we could power share to give you a little more fire power," I suggested, biting my lip as I looked up into his dark eyes. "You really trust me enough to do that?" Sin asked in surprise. "Only one way to find out."

"Shit," Sin gasped, moving closer to me and placing his hand against my cheek so that there were more points of contact between our bodies, more places for us to connect and more bridges for the magic to use to cross between us. “I really like the way you feel inside me, wild girl. Maybe you should try pegging me one time?”

Double Elementals were usually only born to the most powerful of Fae and yet here he was, brimming with power with no explanation for how he came to possess it.

yeah....

"If I'd known busting out of here would be this easy, I'd have done it weeks ago," I joked as I moved beyond the rubble from the explosion and came to a halt before the huge elevator which led back up to the surface. “This isn’t a game,” Cain hissed. “There’s traps in there, things I don’t even know the extent of. I just know it’s fucking bad, and if you don’t turn back now, this could be it.”

"I say we ignore the guard," Sin scoffed, stepping forward to move into the shaft but a warning tingle ran down my spine as my moon instincts screamed at me to stop him. I lurched forward, slamming into him and knocking him aside just as his foot swung into the shaft and an explosion of fire flared behind us as we hit the ground, hot enough to scald my cheeks as I looked around at the raging flames. "Oh my stars, you saved my life," Sin said in a teasing tone from beneath me. "Why don't we have a quick survivors fuck to celebrate us still being alive?"

She moved back to the edge of the doors, pointing up the elevator shaft with a growl in her throat. “Sin, use your air magic to hold that elevator up there. Right now.” “Yes, ma’am.” He saluted her, hurrying forward like an obedient soldier and did as she asked. “Ethan, suck my dick to keep my magic reserves up,” he commanded seriously. “Hell no,” Ethan snapped. “Come on, be a hero,” Sin commanded, unbuttoning his jumpsuit at the crotch. “Don’t ever stop sucking or we’re all dead.”

“I need both hands,” Sin groaned. “Ethaaan, you’re our only hope.” “Fuck it. Fine. But don’t any of you bring this up, ever again,” Ethan snapped then dropped to his knees in front of Sin. But before he could start sucking him off, Rosalie threw a hand to her throat, her voice amplified and stretching away from us across the prison, far and wide.

The Shades were there, looking to Roary for direction and he barked at them to get them into order alongside the Oscuras. The strength of his Charisma was washing out around him and I couldn’t help but appreciate his strong jaw and the general aura about him that lured me in. Maybe I could just go over there and see if he needs anythi- NO! What the fuck am I thinking? Rosalie cast a platform of earth beneath her feet, rising up and her voice boomed over them all. “The second that door opens, we’re going to shield you from their power while you push them back inside. Do not aim to kill them. Alright?”

Fire sizzled in my palms and while everyone stared at those elevator doors, I stared at Rosalie Oscura, knowing with absolute certainty that the magic in my veins would be used here to protect her and nothing else. The curse hummed within me at that thought, seeming to coil around my heart like a warm cat instead of the destructive beast it usually was.

Ethan Shadowbrook was though and as a huge fireball whooshed towards him, I flicked my fingers and extinguished the flames a heartbeat before they collided with his head. He glanced over to find his saviour, but I was already marching back into the crowd, not examining why I’d done that.

“This is really not the fucking time.” I drew back, and found her lips twisted in a weird smile that didn’t look right on her. “Thanks for giving me your magical signature, hot stuff,” she said, holding up the remote that could unlock the prisoners’ magic. The bottom dropped out of my stomach as I stared at it, realising she must have taken it from my fucking pocket. The screen was green, my magical signature clearly recorded on it and the yells of joy behind me told me exactly what she’d done even before I read the words flashing on the device. All prisoners released. No. Fuck, no, no, no!

“Are you insane?!” I bellowed as magic blasted out behind me and inmates whooped as they were all unleashed, set fucking free to do as they pleased. “No, baby cakes. I’m Sin Wilder.”

I really hate that fucking Incubus.

The door was ripped wide and Amira stared in at me in surprise. She took in my orange jumpsuit first and for one single moment I thought she was going to just dismiss me, but then her eyes met mine and recognition filled them which I knew could only equal my end. “Holy shit - I just found us a rat,” she crowed. “How long have you been hiding in-” Her words were cut off by a gurgled sputter and my eyes widened as I spotted a wooden blade protruding from her chest, blood coating it and quickly staining her orange jumpsuit red.

“Well look what I just found,” he purred, letting me see my death in his eyes and making it more than clear to me that Amira had just gotten away with that easily. “A new toy to come play with me.”

This is the fucking worst

Sin ran past me, hurling lemons at the guards at full strength and I laughed as one of them managed to breech their defences and hit one of the guards square in the face. “Ahh the juice is in my eyes!” he yelled while Sin giggled like a kid and dove back into the crowd. How the hell did he always have lemons to hand so star damned easily?

“Rosalie Oscura is a manipulative bitch and a liar. She has tricked everyone in this prison for far too long. How do you think the doors here were destroyed? Who do you think enraged the guards and made them come down here to attack us? She’s trying to escape. Her and her little posse of pussy whipped followers. She wasn’t going to offer the chance of freedom to any of us...not even her own loyal Wolf pack. She was just planning to use the distraction of the riot to break out of here and run away into the night.”

Fuck

Blood steadily dripped from two wounds which had been carved into his biceps and I swallowed a lump in my throat as I recognised Hastings, his eyes wild with fear and a certainty of his own death while a gag remained stuffed in his mouth.

“Let go of her!” he barked in a powerful tone, but Mo just roared a laugh and in the next instant he cast wooden spikes from his palms, slicing right through Harper’s skull and she fell still in an instant. It was all so terrifyingly quick that I couldn’t even process what had happened until he dropped her at Ethan’s feet in a pool of blood.

Wtf!!!!!

Sin gaped at me, his eyes darting to the others who stood firm around him, clearly on my side with this. “But the lemons were a good shout though, right?” I could only blink at him for several long seconds and then I really did lose it. “No, Sin, the lemons weren’t a good idea. They were a fucking insane idea cooked up by a man who everyone in here says is insane. And

“If I’m such a burden to you then you won’t be wanting me here for your special little meeting of the mates then, will you?” Sin roared, his eyes flaring with a dangerous aura that was potent enough to scorch the air surrounding us. “Come on, Mason, let’s leave them to it.” “I’m not going anywhere with you, you fucking nut job,” Cain growled, flames igniting in his hands as he stood his ground before me.

Im so fucking sad

“Seriously?” Cain growled, but I ignored him. “Let us worship you,” Ethan said. “Let us own you, Rosa.”

Im with cain

Cain didn’t make any move to leave as I began to fall apart beneath the touch of my mates. He just kept standing there, watching us, the weight of his eyes on me making my skin burn and the words I wanted to use to call him over to join us weighed heavily on my tongue. But I didn’t speak them, wanting to see how far he’d let me push him, how much of this he’d stay for, how much hungrier that look in his eyes might grow before he’d snap.

“What’s the matter, Twelve?” he taunted as I rocked my hips into the movements of Roary and Ethan’s hands, loving every second of it while still chasing that moment of annihilation. “Have you been down here so long that you’ve forgotten how to do something without being told when to do it?” he taunted.

“Be a good girl and come for them, Twelve,” Cain commanded and my back arched as I fought against him on principle, but I could tell that he wasn’t going to let me off that easily. “Now, Twelve,” he growled in that boss man tone of his that always got me so riled up. “Come.” And like a backstabbing little bitch, my body gave into him, a cry escaping me which echoed off of the walls as my pussy clamped tight around Roary’s fingers and I finally fell apart, my body sagging back against the wall as all of the tension inside me tumbled away. “Good girl,” Cain mocked as the others drew back and I breathed a laugh laced with irritation. “Fuck you,” I muttered again. But unfortunately for me, none of us had time for that.

A storm was tearing through my body and a fog of thunder and lightning cracked and sparked inside my brain. Fire bloomed in my hands and licked across my skin, urging on this murderous beast in me, begging me to let it out. I was insane, was I? Well okay then, let’s see how insane I could be.

My poor baby
