Third Person's POV Adrian's body moves, rising up the Alpha's length before sinking down onto it again. The slick seeps out around Alaric's cock, soaking his length each time he sunk back into the Beta. Their tongues wrapped around each other, fighting for dominance in an endless battle neither would submit to. Their hunger for each other is strong; neither can get enough of the other. Their hands roam each other's bodies with desperation, eager to finally touch the other like they had dreamt. They touch, tug, and pull at each other until the Alpha begins standing, gripping Adrian's thighs as he rises to his feet. The Beta didn't stop; he gripped Alaric's shoulders and neck for leverage and used his core to rise up the Alpha's length before sinking back down onto it.The Alpha groans at the pleasurable sensation. His knees touch the bed as he crawls onto it. He then gently lays Adrian down before pressing him into the mattress with the weight of his body.His hips push forward, sink
Adrian's POV It's been two weeks since the day I'm still trying to forget. Unfortunately, every time I close my eyes, I can still feel and smell him. I can see those beautiful light gray eyes and the look of pleasure that I've caused on his face. I can feel his face in my hand and taste his kiss, but it all disappears when I open my eyes. I try not to think of him. I go about my day, busying myself with work and training. I hang out with the guys until late into the evening, and when they leave, everything goes wrong. When I'm all alone, he plagues my thoughts, and when I close my eyes, he's there. I wish he wasn't there. I wish I could forget him and never see his gorgeous face again, but I can't. I see him every time I close my eyes.I stare at myself in the mirror and can't bring myself to put on a stupid tie. I hate them! I don't see the point. They're constrictive; I can't breathe in these stupid death traps! It's the man's version of a damn necklace, except this one wants to
Adrian's POV As we walk toward the field where the party is, we hear Nikolai grumbling about not wanting to be there. His father chuckles as he throws an arm over his shoulder. “You know, you could find your mate here, then you'll regret all this complaining!” “I'm not going to find my mate. I'm almost 22. I don't have one.” Nikolai said, trying to sound like he didn't care, but I know he does. Everyone knows how much finding a mate meant to Nikolai. “You never know,” The Alpha said as he patted his son's shoulder. As we walk to the side of the house, the yard opens up to a large field of fresh snow. The stage where the ceremony will take place is centered at the back of the field. A large food tent is set up along the back left, and a large fire pit sits in the center of the field with flames reaching taller than I am. Light blue lights hang along the tent and the trees that border the field. With the lights and fresh blanket of snow, it looks quite enchanting. Lower ranks whos
Adrian's POV Timothy was frantic as he fussed over Milo. Thankfully, the wound wasn't bad. He only needed a few stitches, but the way his Omega fretted over him, you would have thought he was on death's door. Once I was sure he was okay, I slipped out to give them some privacy and returned to my room. Once there, I looked at my body, and my throat swelled. He's hurt me before, but never his wolf. The wounds on my body are far worse than Milo's. No wonder the doctor kept asking to look at me. I let my eyes move higher, and my chest tightens when I see what caused this. The Omega did a pretty good job marking me. It looks real. No wonder he was so angry. Maybe this is all my fault. Maybe I should have tried harder to explain. I thought, exhaling in defeat as I turned away from the mirror and stepped into the shower. Alaric's POV I growled as I paced my room. Everything Within reach was immediately broken and thrown across the room. My bedroom was a disaster, and I didn't care. Why t
Alaric's POV I was surprised when he fell asleep. I've never seen him like this before. The last time we had sex, he kicked me out while I was still inside him. This time was different, much different. This time, we didn't have sex once, not even twice. I made my beautiful Beta cum five times before I felt his energy leave his body. He looked drunk; his eyes were barely open. He gave me a soft smile as he traced my face before his eyes fluttered closed, and he fell asleep with me still inside him. I cleaned him up long ago, and now I lay looking at him. I can't wrap my head around this side of him. I know he's just sleeping, but somehow, it's so much more. He's unconscious. He's vulnerable. He looks so beautiful and peaceful.I've never seen him like this. He always has his guard up and ready for a fight, but not this time. He allowed himself to be vulnerable with me. He didn't have to fall asleep. He's a Beta, and a damn strong one! He could have fought it, but he didn't. He allowe
Adrian's POV I groaned when I came out of the bathroom and found Nikolai had broken into my room. The idiot was sitting at my desk, scrolling through his phone with a shirt wrapped around his mouth and nose. “What are you doing in here?” “I told you, don't knock Detective Nikolai! I said I was going to figure it out, and I did. I picked your lock, and as soon as I entered your room, the nasty evidence hit me like a dirty disaster! That shit stinks! For crying out loud, you could have at least changed your dirty sheets!” Nikolai said as he pointed at my bed. I groaned as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “So Alaric, huh? First you two fight till the death, and then you fucked to death? What kind of crazy “I desperately need Prozac” kind of shit is that?” Nikolai said, and I rolled my eyes. If this idiot's going to break into my room while I'm in the shower, then he can deal with the consequences! I thought as I dropped my towel to put on my clothes. Nikolai shrieked and quickly cove
Third Person's POV “Hold up! I think I pulled a hamstring,” Nikolai said, wincing as he reached down and rubbed his leg. “That's your shin, and that would be a shin splint!” Adrian said, shaking his head. “Well, whatever it is, it hurts like a bitch!” Nikolai said as he rubbed his shin. The Alpha dropped down in the snow and held his leg. Weston sat down in front of him, grabbed Nikolai's foot, and put it in his lap, straightening the Alpha's leg. “You need to strengthen your shins,” Weston said as he massaged Nikolai's leg. The Alpha winced when he pressed against the bone, digging deep into the muscle. “I think I'm going to do it,” Weston said, piquing everyone's interest.“Do what? Finally, buy that blow-up doll you've had your sights on?” Nikolai said before screaming in pain. “Hey!” Nikolai said as he tried to push Weston away from his aching leg. “Don't say dumb shit when I have your weakness in my hands!” Weston said and began massaging his leg again. “Anyways, like I w
His POV I was vaguely aware that we had entered the pack house. I couldn't move or open my eyes; I didn't want to. I never thought I would have a mate. Not many of us get one, and the ones that do wish they didn't. Most people don't want an Omega as a mate, and the pain from a rejection is brutal. Half of the time, it kills our wolf. Our Omega wolf is too weak to handle a rejection. If it doesn't kill them, some of the effects are permanent. Like never being able to shift again, or losing other connections between the wolf and human, like the connection that allows a wolf to heal its human. Sometimes it's severed. This means no more rapid healing. It takes them just as long to heal as a human. Because of that, their bodies become weaker, and their bones become more fragile. The only ranks likely to accept an Omega are Delta 3s and sometimes Delta 2s. A Delta 1 accepting an Omega is rare. Especially a large and strong one like this one.This Delta 1 wasn't disgusted the moment he laid
Third Person's POV Nikolai was relieved that Arthur returned to his normal self once they were in the car. He sat in the center of the backseat, leaned forward, and nearly placed himself in the front seat between Victor and Leo, where he proceeded to talk their ears off, amusing no one but the Omega in Victor's arms.Once they passed the front gate, they rolled their windows down and drove through the territory slowly, trying to pick up the slightest scent of rogues. Thankfully, the air smelled clean of rogues. The only thing they could smell was the residual stench from burning the bodies.Once Leo parked the car, Arthur quickly exited the car, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared to run a lap around the packhouse. “Holy shit! He's fucking fast!” “Nikolai!” Victor scolded. “What?”“I know you're old enough to cuss, but ease up on it in front of me. I'm your father! Show some respect!” Victor said firmly, and Nikolai dropped his head.“I'm sorry, Father!”“Apology accepted! L
Third Person's POV The evening was winding down, and the only packs remaining at Arthur's were Victor's and Alpha Merle's. Merle is a quiet Alpha who sticks to himself. His pack is located at the farthest Northwest end of the peninsula. It's the most rural part of the peninsula, tends to be the coldest, and gets the most snow, making it the least desirable area to build a pack. Because of this, Merle doesn't have much of a threat, especially since no other packs are near him. He has no allies, but not because he was refused. It was rather because he hadn't requested one, and the few people who had reached out to him, he turned down. He doesn't attend any of the events, such as mating ceremonies. The only things he attends are the mandatory Alpha convention and the annual celebration. To say everyone was surprised to see Merle attend Arthur's party would be an understatement. It wasn't mandatory, and he didn’t bring all his unmated members, which would have explained why he was the
Third Person's POV “Shit!” Weston cursed as he jumped to his feet, pulling Skyler with him. The Delta turned and took Skyler's face into his hands.“Run as fast as you can, and don't look back! Don't stop until you're in our room.” Weston said, dropping his hands and glancing back at the rapidly approaching threat. He looks back at his terrified Omega, whose eyes are filled with tears. “NOW! RUN!” Weston yelled before turning and shifting in one fluid motion. Knox snarled as he bolted forward, charging the enemies as he pushed against his Alpha's link. He was met with an empty link, reminding him that the Alpha, the Commander, and a good portion of their pack were gone, visiting Arthur's pack for his big party.Weston pushes on the Beta's link, and Joseph quickly opens it.Three hundred feet away, where Skyler stood on the blanket, he was horrified when he watched his mate run toward danger. His feet are rooted in place, unable to move. He wants to obey his mate but doesn't want to
Third person's POV The day was exceptionally warm for early spring in Michigan's upper peninsula. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and nearly no wind. When the wind did blow, it was light and surprisingly warm. The sun was set high in the sky, shining down on his light tan skin, which looked like it'd been kissed by the Sun. His eyes sparkled as he grabbed a grape and popped it in his mouth. Skyler intensely watched Weston remove a block from the tower. He covered his eyes when the tower wobbled. When he didn't hear it fall, he peeked through his fingers as his mate successfully placed the wooden block on top. “Haha! Yes! Look at those skills!” Weston said excitedly. Skyler smiled at Weston but frowned when he realized it was his turn. The Jenga tower was taller than ever and became more unstable with each piece moved. Skyler pulled his lip between his teeth as he gently touched each piece, searching for the loosest one. He found one and held his breath as he slowly pushed it t
Third person's POV Charlie was eager for more, while Victor was thankful the guitar was being unplugged. The Omega frowned when Arthur hopped down from the stage. “Why is he stopping? I want to hear another song!’’ Charlie said, folding his arms. He was tempted to tell the Alpha to get back up there and sing at least two more songs. He's never seen anyone sing like that in real life. Arthur was like a rockstar on stage. His long wavy hair flowed all around him as he moved on the stage, jumping and throwing his head while playing the guitar like he was trying to break it. He didn't know most of the songs but he loved how the music made his limbs move. The Omega almost squealed when he heard the drums begin to play. He had no idea there were any there. They were hidden behind a large black curtain. Moments after the drums began playing, the curtain opened, revealing a large drum set just like the Omega had seen on TV. Charlie squealed as he leaped out of his Alpha's arms and tried cl
Third person's POV Alaric panicked as he knelt and looked his mate over frantically. The dazed state of Adrian was terrifying, and the bruise forming on his cheekbone just under his eye looked painful. The bleeding cut split through the middle of the rapidly forming bruise had the Alpha acting like his mate was bleeding out. His heart hammered in his chest as he tenderly wiped the wound with his shirt, completely forgetting that his wolf could heal minor wounds. “Baby! Talk to me. Are you okay?” Alaric asked as he took his mate's face into his hands. Adrian's heart clenched when he realized his mate barely saw him. He was looking straight at him, but somehow, all he saw was the wound on his cheek that no longer hurt. Adrian's head lifted off the ground and further stunned the Alpha by capturing his lips. The Alpha's eyes fluttered closed, and the heavy weight resting on his shoulders disappeared as he melted into the kiss. He finally became aware of his mate's hands touching his fa
Third person's POV Alaric pushed Adrian behind him and growled at the Alpha. “I don't care who you are, or what pack you're the Alpha of, but you will watch your fucking tongue when talking about my mate!” Alaric said angrily. Aldrich's hand moved so fast that neither of them saw it moving until his hand was wrapped around Alaric's throat, and the young Alpha's feet were dangling off the ground. Adrian swung for the Alpha's face, but once again, the Alpha moved too fast, and the back of his hand hit his face so hard that everything briefly went dark, and he fell to the ground. Alaric's hands frantically clawed at Aldrich's hand wrapped around his throat while his feet dangled in the air. Aldrich brought Alaric's face inches from his and smirked. “It appears your father hasn't taught you any manners. Maybe I need to teach you some,” Aldrich said. As soon as the last word left his mouth, someone jumped on his back and bit into his shoulder, causing Aldrich to drop Alaric. Nikolai
Third person's POV “So… are you going to tell me why we snuck to get that gas?” Alaric asked. “I did it for Nikolai. He loves doing stuff like that.”“Hmmm,” Alaric hummed as his thumb caressed Adrian's hip. “That still doesn't explain why you did it,” Alaric said. Adrian pushed out a defeated breath. “I did it for Nikolai. He's been looking for his fated mate. He gets excited at every event we go to. He gets his hopes up that each event will be the one, and he'll find his mate. Unfortunately, he's met with disappointment at each one, and time's almost up. I saw how sad he was when we came out of the woods, and I know how much he loves lighting bonfires. Although his father has banned him from lighting them at home, and I'm sure he can figure out why,” Adrian said with a chuckle. “Yeah, he's a pyro!” Alaric said, and they both laughed. The sound of Adrian's laughter caused Alaric's heart to swell. The Young Alpha pulled Adrian to a stop, turned him, and pulled him against his c
Third person's POV Adrian pulled his mate into the woods and found a quiet spot, but not for the reason Alaric originally wanted. Adrian leaned back against the tree and tilted his head back and to the side, fully exposing his neck to his Alpha. Alaric's head dipped, and his eyes closed when he found his Beta's scent gland. The Alpha wasted no time pressing his nose against it and covering his face and neck in his mate's scent. The Beta pushed out his calming pheromones with force, allowing his Alpha to forget the hurtful words his father had said to him. Alaric's arms snaked around his mate's waist, and his hand slipped inside his shirt, gliding along his bare back. The tingles under his hands added extra comfort. It allowed him to feel the bond with his hands, making it tangible and grounding him to his mate. The Alpha moved from one side of Adrian's neck to the other, rubbing his face against his scent gland and not stopping until his heart was content. When he was finished, Al
