Adrian's POV Alaric's tongue was down my throat as soon as we were out of the Alpha's office. When he carried me through the packhouse, it wasn't just whispers this time. The amount of gasp I heard was comical, and the whispers were louder. It was definitely stroking this man's ego. The cocky asshole's hands slid down to my ass and squeezed it with a playful growl. “Alaric is such a fucking whore!” someone whispered a little too loud.I growled and tried to climb out of his arms to snatch the person up, but Alaric laughed as he held on tighter, refusing to let me down. “Down killer! I'm just a little slut who needs your attention. Don't go killing anyone for little ol' me. I'm not worth it,” Alaric said sarcastically. I knew he was joking, but they didn't know him like I did, so they thought he was serious. The gasps were louder, and the words whispered about Alaric became dirtier, stroking his ego further. His lips curled up against mine when he pressed them together again, and hi
Third Person's POV Alaric felt like he was in heaven when he tasted his mate. His tongue glided over Adrian's entrance over and over again as he lapped up his juices. His lips curled up when he felt his Beta squirming under him, feeling his hips buck, wanting more. The Alpha growled, pleased with how eager his mate was for him, and the next moment his tongue invaded Adrian's body as he dove in.Alaric groaned, feeling how tight Adrian was around his tongue. His cock throbbed, eager to sink into his mate and feel his tight walls wrapped around him. He smirked an Adrian pushed back against his face, fucking himself on his tongue. It was so erotic and had the pre-cum leaking from his cock as his tongue thrusted in and out of him.When Alaric's tongue left Adrian's body, he was shocked when Adrian growled in frustration and flipped them in the blink of an eye. He was a bit dazed but snapped out of it when Adrian's hand wrapped around his cock and lined it at his entrance. “You're too s
Alaric's POV I knew I hurt him when I broke the bond. I know I hurt him each time we had sex and I didn't mark him, but goddess I wanted to. I wanted to so badly. I knew I hurt him, but I never realized the extent of it. I hurt him deeper than I ever realized.Seeing the pain in his eyes and feeling it as if it's your own are too different things. One is an assumption since you can only see it, and the other is surety. You feel it as though it's your heartbreak.I feel like the biggest ass. All those times he was waiting and hoping that I'd claim him. All those nights I saw his smiling face when I dropped down from the balcony was a mask to cover his pain. Each night I disappeared into the woods, he was left alone with his disappointment and broken heart. I went home happy while he cried himself to sleep. I got my fix. My heart was content, and I stayed away until I couldn't and needed another fix of him. He was my drug, and I was his soulmate. He held onto hope that one day, I would
Adrian's POV I rolled onto my back as the bathroom door closed and exhaled as I looked at the ceiling. I stared at it for a moment and wondered if this was real. Did he really claim me? My hand instinctively reaches up, and my heart flutters when I touch my neck, and a pleasurable tingling sensation shoots through my body, letting me know it's real. It doesn't hurt; his tongue healed the wound, leaving behind his mark in a raised pattern of his teeth. My scent is no longer my own. His scent is now mixed with mine. For me it's faint, and once I'm used to it I won't realize it's there, but for others it's very noticeable. If someone can't see my mark, they'll definitely know I'm claimed by my scent alone since it's the scent of two people. To Alaric, my scent doesn't change much. My unique scent that only he can smell as his mate is still there, and just as strong. The only difference now is he can smell the faint underlying scent of his own, as if he scented me and it's wearing off.
Skylar's POV Instead of being scared, I was excited as Weston walked me through the pack house and out the back door. As excited as I was, it was nothing compared to Rain's excitement. He bounced off the walls in my head, making it hurt. I struggled to keep him contained. He was ready to shift before we made it into the woods. Unfortunately, his excitement was so high that it was stirring our powers that have been dormant since we were rescued. It reminded me of someone trying to start the engine of an old vehicle that didn't want to start. I could feel that familiar pressure and static sensation swirling in my core as it tried to kick on. ‘Knock it off!’ I scolded my excited wolf, but it did no good. We were in the woods, and he knew that any moment, Weston would stop and say it was time to shift. He was too excited to meet his Delta wolf. I think Weston could feel my excitement, he looked down at me and smiled. “I suppose this is as good as any spot,” Weston said, pulling his s
Skyler's POV As I took a shower, I replayed that moment in the woods when my powers came back. I knew he had to have seen them. That was a burst, and it was a big one. The others I experienced were never near anyone, but this was different, and my mate was on the other side of that tree.I know he had to have seen it. How could he not? The blue light was almost blinding. Thank Goddess it was only a release of energy and nothing harmful. I don't know what I would have done if I had hurt him. He was different on the walk back to the packhouse. He was quiet and looked deep in thought. I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but I already knew…I was afraid of what he was thinking. He saw it, but did he know it was me? Maybe he didn't. Maybe he thought it came from somewhere else. I can only hope he doesn't know it came from me. The last thing I need is for him to find out I'm a freak. I wonder what he would do if he found out. He would probably reject me, th
Adrian's POV The mouth-watering scent of food made my stomach growl. It's almost enough to make me want to go down there, at least to sneak some food and quickly slip back inside without being seen. As tempting as that was, the loud sound of many voices reminded me of how many annoying people were outside, which is why I was still hiding in my room. “Ugh, come on! My stomach is eating itself!” Nikolai groans as he lies sprawled out on my bed, staring at the ceiling while holding his stomach. I growl in frustration as I try on another tie. Everything looks stupid! “This shit's too dressy for me!” I said angrily as I ripped the tie off and threw it on the dresser. I felt like I was suffocating in this stupid shit. I untied the first two buttons of my shirt and tugged on it as I stretched my neck, taking a deep breath. “You're so dramatic! Come on! This year is not so bad. It's at our place this year instead of those dipshits,” Nikolai said as he sat up. “How can you stand to be aro
Adrian's POV Milo clings to my side with a firm grip on my shirt. He nibbles on his lip, trying not to look any visitors in the eyes. Years of abuse from these assholes took a toll on this Innocent little Omega. It was so hard to pull him from his shell. I'm not sure how we did it, but the three of us somehow succeeded and earned his trust. Now, he's a permanent shadow to the three of us, which we happily accept. He's always with one of us during our free time, and 9 out of 10, the three of us are together, which gives him the comfort and security of his three favorite people.It's rare for the three of us not to be together. Nikolai's father always said we're attached at the hip, which makes me wonder how Mr. Muscles ended up out here earlier without us. I look to my right and find Mr. Muscles in quite a predicament—the same one I always find him in at these events. Weston is what every Beta calls the dream catch. He's the biggest Delta one in our territory. He's not only the talle

Adrian's POV When I entered the Alpha's office with Alaric, I was surprised that it was just the Alpha and my father. I didn't expect Nikolai or Weston, but I did expect Leonard. I thought for sure he would be here to drill Adrian for security measures, but it looks like it's not that kind of meeting. When we entered the office, my father glared daggers at Alaric, but he paid him no attention. My father sat in the seat to the right, so I sat next to him and had Alaric sit to my left. With the look my father was giving Alaric, I was afraid he might try to strangle him if they sat next to each other. “I won't pretend I don't know what's happening between you two. I'm well aware you two are mates and that you rejected Adrian the night of the party,” My Alpha said, and a little of Alaric's cockiness was chipped away. He might not have told anyone, but I did, although it wasn't like I had a choice. “I'm the one who found him in the woods that night. He was right where you left him, on
Alaric’s POV I was numb. It felt like I was separated from my body, hovering above it and watching my body move as I stepped into my clothes.I never thought my father would choose a mate for me. I had the impression he would let me find someone on my own and fall in love. Apparently, I was wrong.I tried saying no. I argued, and said there was no way I would take someone I didn't know as a mate, but he was adamant. He said it was done. The arrangements were made, and there was nothing I could do to back out. The agreement was made, and the contract was signed. He said breaking the contract would have dire consequences. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to let my father down. I knew he was counting on me to take over one day since I was the only one who could. My brother doesn't have alpha blood, and we have no other siblings. He would have to start over from scratch and have more children. But even that's no guarantee he would have another Alpha son. The Omegas worked silent
Adrian's POV “Goddess, I'm such an asshole! Please forgive me! I'm sorry for hurting you,” Alaric said as he passed everyone and entered the pack house. He began peppering my face and neck with kisses while repeatedly saying, “I'm sorry!”I'm not sure how he knew which apartment was mine, but he walked right to my door and opened it as though he had walked through that door many times.I pulled back and looked at him as he walked through the living room. I glanced at the room around us. It was the first time I had ever seen him there. It stirred a new wave of emotions, and my eyes stung… It was something I thought I'd never see.“I'm sorry!” He whispered before pecking my lips. “ I'm sorry!” He said a little louder and kissed my nose. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my cheek. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my forehead, and a smile began to spread across my face as he circled it with kisses. “I'm sorry!” He said as he crawled onto the bed, climbing under the blanket and cov
