Riley’s POV
We left the room, and on the way, Cane and Caden started arguing with Gunnar about why he had agreed to let me perform that stupid Rite. I was shocked myself, because I still had no idea what it truly was. But from the way they spoke, it sounded dangerous—terrifying even. The tension in their voices was thick as we walked down the hallway.
"You know how bad this could go for her, Gunnar. Why the hell would you agree to that?" Cane snapped.
Caden added immediately, his voice tight with anger, "She’s human. She’s not built for something like this. We should not do this."
Gunnar kept walking, his jaw clenched, saying nothing at first. But when he finally spoke, his voice was sharp.
"She chose it herself the first time, remember but we didn’t agree to it?I’m not going to take that away from her if she wants to prove herself to Sebastian"
That only made the argument louder.
I walked behind them, my stomach twisting in knots. I was confused, scared, and honestly regretting whatever I had been signed up for. But I stayed quiet. I didn’t want to make things worse.
They argued the entire way until we stopped in front of a door. Cane and Caden turned to look at me, their eyes full of worry. Then, without another word, they walked away, leaving me alone with Gunnar.
And honestly, that scared me even more.
He always seemed like he could snap at any moment.
Gunnar opened the door and walked in without looking back. Not knowing what else to do, I followed. Standing outside alone felt worse. I had barely stepped inside when he suddenly grabbed me and dragged me forward. My face slammed into his chest as he shut the door with a loud bang that echoed through the room, making my heart jump.
He immediately grabbed my wrists—especially the one he had bitten days ago. The strange circle around it was redder than ever, but the itching had completely stopped. That alone felt strange, because it had been driving me crazy for days.
"Your trial will start in three days," he said suddenly. "And after today... you might not see me again."
I blinked, confusion and fear crashing into me.
That sounded final. Permanent. Like goodbye.
He pointed at the circle on my wrist.
"This. If you use it properly, you could pass the test within fourteen days."
I gasped. Fourteen days sounded impossibly short.
"Huh?" My voice came out shaky.
"Yes," he said firmly. "Do you know what the Rite of the Borrowed Moon is? Do you know what you’ll be doing there?"
I nodded, even though I only knew fragments.
"There are three ancient beasts inside a cave at the very heart of Obsidian Veil," he continued. "That’s where you’ll be sent. Those beasts have lived for over a millennium. They were captured and imprisoned by warriors long ago."
Fear gripped me instantly.
Ancient beasts?
That sounded like a nightmare.
Suddenly, he lifted me and dropped me onto a chair before crouching in front of me so our eyes were level.
"They crave three things the most," he said.
He paused and then said "Fear. Blood. And sex."
My eyes widened. My chest felt hollow.
His hands began to slid slowly inside my top, tracing up my stomach. freewёbnoνel.com
"They are not merciful. They are brutal, cruel, and ruthless. Once they sense fear, they may tear you apart. They may drink your blood. Or, if your scent drives them... they won’t kill you. They will keep you. Use you. For as long as they want."
His hands moved deeper under my dress as he leaned forward and bit my neck harshly. I gasped. The pain shot through me, followed by a strange wave of heat. His breath grew heavier against my skin, and I didn’t understand why he seemed so affected.
"If you manage to tame one with lust, he will claim you. The other two will leave to find different prey. But escaping the one who claims you will be nearly impossible."
His hands found my breasts now, squeezing them hard. A moan escaped me before I could stop it. My mind was filled with fear, yet my body betrayed me.
"But to escape him," Gunnar continued, "you must use the circle on your wrist. If he licks it, he will recognize the mark and release you."
He lifted me again and carried me to the bed, laying me down before hovering over me.
"And remember," he said, his voice rougher now, "only one out of the three beasts can be tamed with lust. If you are lucky, you will find the one."
His hands stayed on my breasts, kneading them through my bra. His thumbs brushed over my nipples, and they hardened instantly. My back arched as another moan left my lips.
Everything felt confusing—terrifying and intoxicating at the same time.
Gunnar leaned down and bit my neck again, softer this time.
"You must be smart, Riley. They are ancient. Powerful. Any human scent will drive them wild. But the circle can save you."
He pushed my bra up, exposing my skin before taking one nipple into his mouth, sucking slowly while his fingers pinched the other.
Pleasure shot through me, pooling between my legs. I gripped the sheets, unable to hold back my sounds.
"But... this is insane. How am I supposed to tame something like that with sex?" I gasped. freewebnovёl.ƈom
He lifted his head, his eyes dark and intense.
"You do whatever it takes. Kiss them. Touch them. Let them take what they want. When the right one claims you, use the mark."
His hand slid down my body, pushing into my pants and rubbing me through my panties.
He groaned.
"See? Your body responds even to the idea. You will survive this. But you need practice."
He pushed my panties aside and slid a finger inside me slowly. I moaned louder, my hips moving on their own.
"Practice... how?" I asked breathlessly.
He added another finger, curling them in a way that made my toes curl.
"Like this. Touch yourself. Imagine them. Control the situation when the time comes."
His thumb found my clit, rubbing in tight circles while his fingers thrust in, the wet sounds filling the room.
The orgasm built quickly.
"Please... it’s too much," I cried, gripping his shoulders.
"You can take it," he said. "This is nothing compared to what the beasts will do to you. But you will pass i hope. The circle on your wrist will protect you if smart enough."
The pressure snapped.
I came hard, crying out his name as pleasure crashed over me in waves. My body shook, my vision blurring.
He kept moving slowly through it, whispering, "Good girl. That’s how you tame them."
I collapsed, panting and weak, he pulled his fingers out and licked them clean, watching me.
"Three days, Riley. Be ready. After today, I may not be here. But you will make it."
I was breathing hard now, my mind spinning.
Three ancient beasts that craves Fear. Blood. Sex.
"And one more thing" he added "Those beasts takes and takes and takes, they never get tired until satisfied, you will know pleasure you’ve never known before, overwhelming extreme pleasure, the one that can become too much that it’ll feel like death, yet they won’t stop"
