The Raven Wolf King: Wolfless

“Wolfless and worthless, that is what you are, Valeria.” Worthless, stupid, a waste of space, this is what they all called me. “You’ll be rejected. No male in their right mind will ever want you.” And they were right. My love story begins with rejection. “You are Wolfless. You are the dirt beneath our feet.” Wolfless? I am wolfless, born without a wolf soul. But I am more than just that. My bloodline is magic, and soon they will all find out how…worthless I am. ********************** “Let me love you, Valeria.” “You can’t.” “Yes, I can and I will. You are mine now. Reject the idea all you want, you have no choice. I will love you.” “You are the one who rejected me.” Raphael’s hand gently clamps on my chin, and he moves my face to look at him, into his eyes. “Don’t run from me again.” He is not even acknowledging what I said. “You should know better than to run from an Alpha.” “What. Do you want?” “I wanted to speak with you, but now…” He pauses and slowly nuzzles his nose near my ear and whispers. “I want you on your knees…taking me all in.” I am shocked, but the image appears in my head, and my knees weaken. My body does not hate the idea. I want to be angry at this man, but it is hard when I desire him. I close my eyes and look away, but when I dare look back at him, his eyes are slowly raking down my body. If I don’t get away from him, this man will own me. Be bold, Valeria. He broke us. My hand slowly slides up and connects with his chest. He doesn’t move. I leisurely move my hand up, caressing his chest until I reach his neck. The whole time I do this, he stares into my eyes. Then I slide my hands to his chin and slowly bring him closer. I whisper to his lips, “You…broke this. You shattered our bond. You don’t get to have me now. Someone else will have that privilege.” I let him go and gently push him away enough for me to get out of his grasp and walk away. But I can hear him mutter as he watches me, “A mistake I will never make again. I’ll have you. I will win your heart.”
