Twisted Fate

Chapter 12

Arlo

The cool summer breeze played on my skin and shuffled through the tall bulrush grass. I watched the cranes wade in the lake as they emerged their long beaks into the water from time to time. It was quiet and peaceful. Only the whispers of the wind could be heard. It promised just enough comfort from the heat of the blazing sun.

Just a few feet away from the lake stood the lonely cabin. It was the cabin in which belonged to me, my mother, and my siblings. It was our home though it never truly felt like a home when he was there. The demon prince imprinted it with pain and suffering, reminding me of the torturous years of my childhood.

I had to remind myself that the sorrows of yesterday were gone, and now tranquility hovered over the cabin. He was dead, and not even the strongest of magic could bring him back. He could no longer cause any more pain to a living, breathing soul.

I closed my eyes and inhaled the different earthy scents lingering in the air, but only one stood out more than the others. The sweet and fresh scent made my demon-wolf stir uncontrollably inside me. It was enough to disturb my peace and replace it with an exhilarating feeling. I snapped my eyes open to see the she-wolf standing on the opposite side of the lake.

The winds ruffled her dress and long black hair, carrying her intoxicating scent to my nostrils. It moved me in ways I'd never felt before. Her mere presence was enough to send my heart into a frenzy.

Before I knew it, I was standing in front of her. I wasted no time embracing her in my arms, my hands possessively wrapping around her curvy waist. She smiled widely and leaned into my touch as the electrifying sparks danced on our skin from the contact. Soon her arms were wrapping around my neck to pull me closer.

She was mine—my mate.

"I missed you," She whispered as we gazed into each other's eyes, her forehead resting against mine. I'm a descendant from the ninth kingdom of hell but staring into her blue-green eyes was the gateway to heaven. Being with her was heaven.

She frowned, "I thought you'd be gone awhile. I was afraid you wouldn't come home," Her words tugged at my heart. I never wanted to see my mate unhappy. Before she could speak again, I lifted her chin and looked her deep in the eyes and said, "You're my home."

In the next moment, our lips were united in a passionate kiss. Even though I'd kissed her a thousand times, each time felt like the first. I lifted her and wrapped her legs around my waist while our tongues explored wildly. Within a blink of an eye, she was lying naked underneath me in my bed.

I was positioned between her thighs, thrusting deep inside of her. Her claws lightly dug into my back as I gripped the headboard and gave her my all. She arched her back as the toe-curling sensation took over her body.

"Arlo, please," She begged for more, wrapping her legs around my waist to push me in deeper. I buried my face in her neck before I kissed and sucked over my mark. The sparks intensified with every thrust and kiss. Her moans encouraged me to ravage her completely.

"Arlo!" She screamed my name as I sat back with her legs around me. She was sitting on my lap with her arms around my neck and my cock buried deep inside her.
I loved every minute of our lovemaking. I'd made her cum several times in many different positions. It was early in the morning as she laid by my side under the satin sheets, exhausted and out of breath.

"I love you, Arlo," She whispered, peering up at me as she ran her fingers over my chest. It was her favorite thing to do as we laid in bed together. Soon I was falling into a deep slumber as she continued to trace my chest, giving life to those electrifying sparks, "Arlo," She kept whispering my name, but I could barely keep my eyes open.
