Chapter 35: Moonlit
Kael’s POV:
The flickering light of the candles cast long shadows across the walls of my chambers. I leaned back in my chair, the soft silk of my robe whispering against my skin. Across the room, one of the pack maidens, a young and impressionable girl named Lyla, watched me with wide adoring eyes.
“Come here,” I commanded, my voice low and seductive.
Lyla hesitated for only a moment before crossing the room, her steps tentative. She knelt beside my chair, her head bowed, waiting for my next command. I reached out, running my fingers through her hair, savoring the power I held over her.
“Eliana must never know about this,” I whispered, my voice a silken thread of menace and desire.
“Of course, Alpha,” Lyla replied, her voice trembling with fear and eagerness.
