---- Remembering what Laziel did to mehis moans, that look of pure pleasure, his hands and lips on my skin.


    I didnt imagine it.


    That was real, and this cold, distant man had shown me a side of him I never thought existed.


    Why, Laziel? Why are you acting like this now? As if my thoughts echoed in his head, he lifted that beautiful head again, and those intense eyes devoured me with raw passion.


    Yeah, dark and intense passion...


    turned out this unreachable male could act like a real, flesh-and-blood man too.


    His wet nose pressed to mine, caressing me. I let myself enjoy the strange sensations in this body.


    just stared at him, hypnotized, the rage and shock fading into moreplex feelings.


    He licked my fangs and rubbed against me again, like an Alpha male iming his mate.


    My timid muzzle dipped to sniff the cor around his neck.


    My brain was short-circuiting.


    I was the older one and here I was acting like a teenager.


    ---- In the end, Laziel stood up and gave me onest look. The fog around us kept swirling like a wall shielding us from curious eyes.


    His eyes glinted gold and the misty wolf ran off into the darkness.


    Laziel! I called again in his mind, but he still didnt answer.


    He vanished into the magical barrier, and it was like the world reset again.


    The veil beyond shifted and the silhouette of a man sat once more on the throne.


    Murmurs echoed through the crowd, until a priests voice rang out: His majesty has dered himself the loser! Gasps of shock filled the air after the announcement.


    Miss Rosemarie is the winner of the tournament and therefore the special guest of the Wolf King at tonights masquerade ball. My ears heard it, and my brown eyes couldnt stop staring at the throne.


    She is also granted a special request to his majesty during the ball, the priest added.


    Let us all enjoy the Royal Festival! ---- The howls and cheers came from the pack, who would now have their events outside the castle walls.


    The shadow behind the veil disappeared and I finally left the arena with more questions than answers.


    I stayed in wolf form until I reached the womens changing rooms and was able to get dressed.


    It was strange and exciting to feel what its like to be a male werewolf.


    As I got dressed in silence, I heard low, venomous voices on the other side of the wall.
