Moon Touched (Zodiac Wolves, #1)

by Elizabeth Briggs

As a Zodiac Wolf, my fate was tied to the stars. Too bad my stars were more crossed than aligned.

My only hope was the upcoming Convergence, which would unlock my wolf. If I could feel the connection to the sea that the rest of my pack did, maybe they would start to feel like my own people as well.

Something dark inside me woke up and rose to the surface, something wild and dangerous, just begging to be released.

Funny how things looked with a little perspective.

When I opened them, Kaden was watching me, looking almost smug. “Welcome to the Ophiuchus pack lands."

Loyalty is earned, not given.”

You’re Moon Touched."

And seriously, gray sweatpants? Was he trying to make me wet?

A single, low howl pierced through everything, the loudest and most haunting one of all. When I look down at the group, Kaden had his head tilted back toward the moon, which danced across his black fur. The rest of the wolves fell silent at his signal.

“Nice howl, by the way." I blushed, but his tone was light enough that I didn’t feel too bad about it. "It was my first one." "Not bad. Though I bet you could howl louder under the right circumstances." I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry. "Maybe you could show me."

SCREAMING 😂😂😂

He wasn’t my mate, but something about this felt as if it had been destined.

The door burst open, ripping me out of my dream.

Kaden barreled in, claws out, looking around wildly. I blinked at him, trying to shift the last of my consciousness to the waking world, and not back in a moon-drenched clearing where Kaden had his cock inside me while I screamed his name.

“Are you okay?” “What?” It was the last thing I expected him to say.

“What are you doing in my room?” “I heard noises. I thought someone had broken in and attacked you.” What? Oh. Heat rose in my face, and I hunched my shoulders, suddenly realizing that the object of my sex dream was standing right in front of me, and I was wearing just a sports bra and shorts.

“It was nothing,” I said, trying to put as much bluster into the words as possible. “Just a dream.”

“You smell of sex,” he said.

When he opened his eyes, they were hard and angry. “Dreaming about your Leo mate?” “What?” I asked, shaking myself out of the hold of his voice. “No, I—” “Don’t do that under my roof. I don’t care who you want to fuck, but keep your fantasies of that piece of shit far away from me."

Everything was a test, and no one would tell me what my grade was.

Kaden opened his mouth and I felt my jaw drop as he licked me.

He has to lick her to heal her 👅😬🔥

I’d wanted him to breach the distance, no matter how much fallout it would cause.

I wanted to lick every inch of his body like a popsicle.

"Ayla. You look positively ravishing tonight. Care to join me for the evening?" Before I could answer, Kaden pushed between us, his growl resonating through the air. "Get the fuck away from her," he said.

"Rude much?" I asked Kaden. "Maybe I wanted to go with him, did you ever think of that?"

"Not happening." "What's going on?" Stella asked, concern written all over her face. "Keep everyone here,"

At the same time, Kaden picked me up and hauled me over his shoulder, whi...

"If you don't help me, I'll have to find someone else who can." "No fucking way." His hands cupped my breasts through my thin dress and squeezed, and it was enough to make me moan and stop squirming against him. "The only man who will touch you tonight is me." "Then get on with it already," I

"As you wish, little wolf."

He pushed his cock into me roughly, no gentleness this time, and leaned over my back. “We’re going to be here all night,” he growled in my ear. “Fucking until the sun rises. I’m going to have you every way, every position. This is what you signed up for when you asked for my help, Ayla.”

"I'm Tanner, by the way. I'd shake your hand but I don't want Kaden to bite mine off."

"And here I thought there was another reason they called you snake charmers."

Harper waggled her eyebrows at me. "From what I heard, you're the one charming snakes. Kaden's snake, anyway."

“We call them hugs, Kaden,” I said. “They’re used to show gratitude among people who aren’t emotionally stunted.”
