Excerpt
The servant slid the dress down Altah’s torso and over her curvy hips. She stepped away from the garment. While the servant picked up the dress and placed it over a cushioned chair, Altah removed her slip, bra, and underpants. Naked, she studied her reflection in the mirror. Tall and well-padded, she considered herself attractive. Slanted amber eyes and full lips gave her face an exotic look inherited from her father’s bloodline.
“Which nightgown would you like to wear tonight, My Lady?”
“The silver one, please, Kyla,” she replied.
Kyla nodded and headed for the trunk at the foot of Altah’s enormous bed covered in moss-green satin sheets and pillows. The Vampire Ruler’s pulse leapt when she thought that tonight she would share that bed with two alpha Werewolves. She only hoped they hadn’t injured each other so badly that their performance would suffer. Though she couldn’t help feeling a hint of sorrow for the pain they had endured during the fights, she thrust such thoughts aside. They had chosen to accept the challenge insisted upon by their kind. It was Wolves who thought the binding ritual so important. When Rex and Kyros had been honored by being appointed her guardians, they’d rudely carried their personal vendettas into the palace walls. Such disrespect made them unworthy of her compassion.
Before Kyla could open the trunk and retrieve the nightgown, the chamber door burst open. The servant screamed at the sight of Kyros and Rex, their blue eyes gleaming and fangs bared.
They strode toward Altah and paused so close she felt heat emanating from their bodies and saw the sides of their strong necks pulsing to the staccato rhythm of their hearts. Still panting and from the physical and emotional strain of their fight, they defined Werewolves at their most savage. Their musky scent filled her with every breath. The wolfish pelts covering them from head to toe gleamed with blood and sweat, the muscles beneath well defined.
Altah drew a sharp breath and resisted the urge to bury her hands in their furred chests, if only to satisfy her curiosity about how they felt in their wolf form. Her gaze met Kyros’ and a slight smile touched his lips, as if he sensed her attraction and curiosity. The two soldiers who had been stationed outside Altah’s door staggered inside.
“We tried to stop them, My Lady,” said one of the soldiers. He and his companion aimed their rifles at the Wolves, ready to fire at her signal.
“Wait,” Altah commanded, then fixed her attention on the Werewolves. “Why have you come here, unwashed and unclothed?” Their gazes swept her nude body. Kyla quickly opened the trunk, took the silver nightgown and turned to Altah, but Rex tore the garment from the servant’s hand.
“My Lady.” Kyla looked frightened.
“You may go, Kyla.”
“But–”
A fierce look from the Vampire Ruler sent the young woman scurrying out of the chamber.
“We have come to claim our reward,” Kyros stated.
I Must have missed this one. Added to my list.
