Claimed by the Wolf Cult (The Amatory Adventures of Cordelia Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer, #2)

An ancient ritual. A curious scholaress. And a brotherhood of masked wolves eager to fill her with far more than forgotten history.

When Victorian lady explorer Cordelia Delachatte arrives in Rome, she expects dusty manuscripts — not whispers of a secret society reviving the forbidden rites of Lupercalia. Armed with insatiable curiosity (and a scandalous disregard for propriety), she follows a wolf-masked stranger through the Eternal City...and straight into legend.

Crowned the Mother Wolf, Cordelia becomes the centerpiece of a primal fertility celebration where every chase ends in capture. Her bosom swollen with sacred sustenance, she’s hunted, filled, and claimed by every eager mouth and reverent hand the festival demands.

These masked devotees are reviving history, using Cordelia’s body as their living parchment. And when the chief wolf steps forward — larger, hungrier, and determined to leave her overflowing with consecrated release — she learns exactly how Rome was on creamy abundance, endless devotion, and the wails of a woman utterly undone by worship.

Claimed by the Wolf Cult is the 10,000-word second story in The Amatory Adventures of Cordelia Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer series. These scorching short stories are for those who prefer their history unbuttoned and their delights forbidden.
