Chapter 649.
I woke up in a haze of suffocating heat, feeling as though I was engulfed in the primal flames of a surging blood bond.
Меги
My consciousness was still foggy, a thick blur, and all I wanted was to push away whatever was radiating this unbearable heat. My wolf, usually sharp and alert, was purring deep in my subconscious, intoxicated by the proximity of a superior power.
But the moment I reached out, my fingers met hard, unyielding muscle–the chest of a dominant Alpha.
I was held tight by a strong, firm arm draped across my waist, my back pressed against a scorching chest that radiated the scent of dark cedar and storm
clouds.
Warm, steady breaths caressed my neck, a rhythmic pulse against my skin right where my mating mark began to throb.
My body went rigid for a split second.
Then, belatedly, it dawned on me.
Grayson and I had sealed the Blood Bond.
Yesterday had been our mating ceremony. Our bonding night.
After the ritual yesterday, I’d been so exhausted I’d practically collapsed into the furs. Even my ritual gown… he’d…
At the thought, my face heated, an uncontrollable blush creeping up my neck. My wolf let out a small, satisfied yip of memory.
I cautiously opened my eyes. Daylight was already peeking through the gaps in the heavy curtains of the den.
I had no idea what time it was.
There was something crucial I needed to ask him about the Howlnet rumors, and I couldn’t afford to waste a moment.
With bated breath, I cautiously tried to ease his arm from my waist.
I tried to slip out quietly, moving with the stealth of a rogue.
But the moment I stirred-
The arm around my waist tightened abruptly, the grip of an Alpha who never lets go of his prize!
A powerful force pulled me, flipping me over forcefully, and I was tucked back into that familiar, overwhelming embrace.
Then the world spun around me.
Grayson pulled me completely back, pinning me heavily beneath him on the mattress.
“Mmph…”
I let out a muffled sound, my eyes locking with a pair that were deep, dangerous, and glowing with a faint, predatory gold.
He’d just woken up, his dark hair a mess, a hint of lazy warmth in his eyes that was quickly overshadowed by an undeniable, possessive intensity. His wolf was right at the surface, baring its soul to me.
“Awake?”
His voice held that rough, husky rasp unique to early mornings, incredibly sensual and vibrating with Alpha command.
“Where did you think you were going?”
My heart skipped a beat.
This he–wolf! Was he descendant from the great tracker wolves? So incredibly alert!
I struggled to pull away, my claws instinctively itching to sprout.
His head dipped, and searing kisses peppered my neck and collarbone, lingering dangerously close to the sensitive skin of my bond–mark.
His hand, restless and seeking, slipped beneath the silky fabric of my nightgown.
The memory of his ‘punishment‘ last time flashed through my mind, and my body instantly went rigid, fighting to pull away from the sheer magnerism.

of his pheromones.
“You… let go!”
Menu
“Let go of you?” Grayson’s eyebrow lifted, and instead of rising, he pressed down harder, bringing us even closer until I could feel every line of his powerful frame. “We’re blood bonded, Isabella. It’s early morning. Where exactly do you expect me to go?”
His warm breath ghosted over my face, smelling of mint and raw power.
My cheeks instantly flushed crimson!
“Stop… stop it!”
I pushed against the solid expanse of his chest, my voice a shaky whisper.
Grayson, however, seemed deaf to my plea. He lifted his head, his thin lips brushing against the corner of my mouth, his voice low and laced with a growling suggestion.
“It’s our bonding night. I held back yesterday, but after just one day, my mate is already trying to abandon me?”
His nose lightly grazed against mine, scenting my submission.
I tried to hastily explain, “No-”
His lips claimed mine, sealing them shut, and my body tensed even further as the Blood Bond flared between us like a wildfire.
I struggled against him, my resistance fierce as I tried to keep my human mind focused.
But against an Alpha like Grayson, my meager strength was utterly useless.
He easily quashed all my struggles, pinning me firmly beneath him, his weight a heavy, grounding reminder of who I belonged to.
Before long, his kiss had me breathless and dizzy with the intoxicating rush of his scent.
The corners of my eyes were flushed, and I was breathing in shallow gasps-
‘W–wait, wait a second, I need to ask… what did that outsider mean when he said that…”
Grayson seized my lips once more, silencing my protests with a possessive growl. The raw intensity of his kiss was unmistakable; I was right here, in his den, and he wasn’t going to hold back any longer.
A he–wolf, faced with the she–wolf he desires, loses all semblance of human self–control.
And besides-
I still had to go see that man, Orion, later!
Grayson had to claim me first, marking me so thoroughly with his scent that any other wolf would know I was spoken for before he’d let me go see anyone else!
Grayson’s kiss turned ravenous, a hungry claim that stole my breath. And then, he nipped at my earlobe.
A sharp gasp tore from my throat.
The bite wasn’t deep, but the message was unmistakable–a warning, a claim of the Silvermoon Pack. I couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.
Before I could even reply, Grayson’s voice, dangerously low and vibrating with his inner wolf, echoed in my ear.
‘And at a time like this, you’re still thinking about other he–wolves?”
His voice was laced with a dangerous possessiveness that made my wolf shiver with a mix of fear and primal excitement.
I was furious, exasperated. This Alpha was utterly unreasonable!
When had I ever thought of another man? I was just trying to solve the mystery of my lineage!
But before I could even retort,
Grayson’s actions effectively silenced every word I wanted to say.
The bed had swayed for what felt like an eternity, the air thick with the scent of a bonded pair, and by the time Grayson finally relented, I was so utterly

spent I couldn’t imagine moving a single finger.
I lay on the bed, my body a helpless, boneless doll, completely at the mercy of my mate.
He scooped up my limp body, a look of utter satisfaction on his face–the smug look of a hunter who had successfully guarded his territory–and carried me into the healing–bath.
The warm water cascaded over me, rinsing away a little of the bone–deep exhaustion.

I leaned back against the cool porcelain of the tub, my eyes narrowed, glaring fiercely at the culprit who was now, unbelievably, washing me with such
careful tenderness.
My fierce glare didn’t faze Grayson one bit. There wasn’t a hint of guilt on his face; instead, he just chuckled softly.
His laughter echoed through the bathroom, sounding entirely too pleased with himself, the sound of a contented wolf.
“Sorry.”
He leaned down and pressed a kiss to my forehead, the apology a mere murmur from his lips.
But I knew, with absolute certainty, that his apology held not an ounce of sincerity.
A complete sham!
That villain. That Alpha liar!
As if ¡eading my mind through our telepathic link, the infuriating smile at the corner of his mouth only deepened.
I glared at him even harder, trying to set him ablaze with my fury.
Grayson chuckled for a moment, then grabbed a towel, wrapping me in its soft embrace before carrying me back to the bedroom.
Only then did he speak, his voice slow and deliberate, the playfulness replaced by the gravity of pack business.
“Actually, I’ve already found out.”
I froze, then quickly pieced together what he was talking about.
It was about Orion and my mother!
Grayson continued, “I wanted to tell you earlier, but I thought you might be shy.”
I didn’t understand at first, but when I did, my eyes snapped wide open.
Earlier?
He… he actually wanted to tell me something so serious about my bloodline while we were… doing that?
How had I never realized he was such a primal fiend?
I didn’t voice the thought, but the shocked, disgusted look on my face said it all.
Grayson met my animated expression with one of complete innocence.
“But I didn’t say it then, did I?”
He sounded utterly convinced, his face still maintaining that innocent Alpha facade.
I was so angry I wanted to bite his shoulder, but I was afraid that any movement would only provoke his wolf further, so I just glared.
My furious, yet utterly harmless, glare only made him chuckle again.
He must have sensed my simmering anger through our bond, because he finally got up to grab the air–shifter to dry my
He activated it, and soon a warm breeze began to dry my damp hair.
His long, slender fingers threaded gently through my hair, a gesture of affection that calmed my wolf.
As he dried it, he finally started telling me what he’d found out yesterday from the Howlnet and the Elders.
He must have figured I wouldn’t mind an hour or two’s delay for the sake of his claim, right?

Carried on that warm breeze, his voice said, “That outsider’s name is Orion. The jade relic he had… that was your mother’s soul–token. As for how it ended up with him…”
Grayson switched off the air–shifter, his dark eyes searching my face for a reaction.
“It’s likely because your mother’s remains were stolen by Victor–Orion’s adoptive father and the Alpha of a rogue clan.”
