Alicia’s eyes were closed. “Tell me when we get there.”

My palms were sweating buckets and I almost jumped up and shouted, “I want to get off.”

Help, my bear squeaked.

Clarissa’s idea of a date was not what I’d imagined. I gulped and leaned forward over the bag as a loud clunking had me copying Alicia and closing my eyes.

Clarissa was talking softly, explaining what was happening, and I concentrated on his calming voice, or tried to. As the plane lifted off, it left my stomach behind on Earth as I begged the universe to spare our lives.

There was an announcement, something about a cruising altitude, whatever that was, and I looked up as people got out of their seats and there were lots of little dingings.

“Look.” Clarissa pointed out the window beside Alicia. We were far above the ground and he pointed out Bruin Ridge in the distance. The farmlands crisscrossed one another, intersected by the river that ran through our land.

Never having seen the Earth or our home from above, I unbuck

    ALICIA“I can’t stand this anymore.”And neither could my bear. He complained every time I got an elbow in the ribs or a slap on the face.I stood at the end of the bed, arms folded.Clarissa struggled to sit, a pillow balanced on his head, while Dante yawned and rubbed his eyes. They shared a glance and then looked at me before saying, “Can’t stand what?”“Sleeping in this small-ass bed.”My mates checked out each other’s naked butts. “Not small.”“Gorgeous.”I slow clapped. “Ha ha ha. Very funny.” While our future was in a holding pattern—I’d learned that expression when we flew back from the beach—Alpha had given us permission to choose which cabin we wanted for our triad and to make it our own. Not any cabin, mine or Dante’s.We’d been putting it off, fearful that we’d jinx something. But I was falling asleep while at work and Dante’s puffy eyes and dark circlesspelled out that he wasn’t, either, while Clarissa who worked from home, could take a nap at any time.“Come on guys. We

    Even before he answered, I predicted what he was going to say. “Other.”“Dante!” Clarissa sank on the couch.“It’s your fault for giving him that option.” I collapsed next to him.“Fine.” Dante peered at the samples. “The geometric one is interesting. Let’s go with that.”“Oh no, not that one.” That was Clarissa. “Yeah, I don’t like it,” I agreed.Dante put one hand on his hip while he waggled a spoon at us in the other. “Why did you include it if you didn’t like it?”Good question. “We thought you might?”“Right, so you can have the pleasure of telling me I have no taste.” “We’d never do that,” Clarissa said. “Because you chose both of us.”“You have impeccable taste.” I shared a laugh with Clarissa. “Just not when it comes to wallpaper.”Dante returned to cooking while Clarissa and I muddled through the rest of the list, and when we were done, all three of us put the items to be returned, in Clarissa’s car. While we were eating dinner and talking about wha

    Clarissa raised his hips as I tugged at his dick while he grabbed my length, and Dante clasped it, too. There was no sound in the room other than our gasping and panting while the scent of pre-cum and slick filled the air.My hands cramped as they slid over my mate’s cocks but as I inched closer to orgasm, my mind blocked out everything except giving and accepting pleasure.“I love your cock,” Dante murmured as Clarissa whimpered with each tug. “And I want it in my ass.”Someone had promised two dicks in one hole weeks ago, but the climax that was hurtling toward me blocked out the memory of who said it. I yelled, “Yes,” as cum spurted onto the new covers, followed by Clarissa, while Dante needed more pumping before he came.“We’re going to be washing our new bedding every day,” Dante noted as he rolled toward the center of the bed and slung an arm over me.As I’d been in charge of the laundry since we mated, he hadn’t noticed I had been doing exactly that. Clarissa leaped out of bed

    “What? Does it not smell as good as I think it does?” I set down the knife and rinsed off my hands.“This place smells absolutely amazing,” Alicia reassured me. “We had a talk with Aspen after our meeting.”My stomach dropped. The only thing I could think of that they’d have needed to share with me would be a conversation about my council.I went to them, throwing myself in their arms. “They said no.” Aspen had tried to get the council to come and have an open dialogue with us about the entire situation. If anyone could convince them to do that, it would be him.“They said the law stands and they don’t need nor plan to discuss it further.” Dante didn’t finish the sentence. He didn’t need to.“Then I don’t get pregnant.” I’d already told them that was the case, but at the time, I hadn’t truly believed it would be necessary. I’d been sure it would all work out—except it didn’t. “Done.”“But you already told us that that’s not what you want.” Alicia kissed the top of my head. “If there w

    “We need to clean up and get some s’mores.” Alicia took my other hand.I had two alphas at my side. How could I have ever thought this wouldn’t work out? The question was, how. And that was something only time would tell.We cleaned up in record time and rushed to the s’mores table. They had everything from chocolate chip cookies to graham crackers to sugar cookies with more kinds of candy bars than I’d ever seen in one place that was not the candy store, before. The three of us ate our fill, my stomach queasy by the time Aspen called for us all to take our fur and run, the cubs being treated to an outdoor movie while we did.Home. Home. Home.Yes, this is home.But for how long?TWENTYDANTEI was home alone and I had to admit my mates had done an amazing job of making the place not only function well, but it looked nice. I’d never mention it to them because they laughed at how little attention I paid to my surroundings.While I was sitting on the sofa, I rested my feet, not on the c

  • A Prisoner Of The Alpha Wolf    Sense

    My Beta mate and I put our ears to the bathroom door. We cringed each time Clarissa heaved the contents of his stomach into the toilet.“We have to ask Healer to make a house call,” Alicia insisted. “Clarissa can’t walk over to Healer’s cabin and besides, he’s probably at home by now.”I sent Brian a quick text asking where his mate was, his mate being our healer, and explained the situation.He replied, He’s on his way to you.His response had me wondering if I’d made a horrible mistake. Alicia and I’d made a decision about our mate’s health and body without consulting him. Clarissa opened the door and without acknowledging us, stumbled into the bedroom. He cursed when he saw the unmade bed and hurried into the third bedroom, where he pulled the covers over his head.“I don’t need either of you hovering over me. Let me sleep and I’ll be fine in the morning.”Alicia flapped his hands, apparently wanting to do something other than ignoring our snow leopard mate. I closed the door, led

    “Which room will be the nursery? This one or the other one. We need wallpaper and a crib and onesies.” Alicia was on a roll. But as he twirled around, he froze and almost fell face-first on the floor. “But what if you can’t stay in Bruin Ridge?” He curled up beside Clarissa and sobbed into our omega’s neck.Clarissa patted his back, saying, “It’ll be okay.” And despite the bed being small, I crawled on the other side and the three of us lay there with our own thoughts.“No matter what happens, you are our mate, forever and ever.” Alicia wasn’t hiding his distress and I handed him a tissue to mop up his tears.This wasn’t right. We should be celebrating new life, not wallowing in self-pity. I got up. “If we make our bed, will you come back into the main bedroom?” I couldn’t bear having Clarissa sleep elsewhere when… when… he may have to leave. Sorrow squeezed around my heart, making it difficult to breathe.“Sure.” Clarissa grabbed a handful of ginger candy.Alicia raced ahead to get t

    Clarissa stepped back and twirled around. “These are paternity and they fit me the way they are supposed to fit me.”“And you’re pregnant,” I reminded him. “And you aren’t a human. These books were written for humans. If you were getting bigger than you should be, Healer would’ve told you by now. He doesn’t mince words.”Just as with our former healer, our current one told it like it was—but only to the patient because of human rules or something. I guess human rules around his whole doctor license thing-a-ma-bob had him being less informative to nonpatients than our retired healer had been.“I know. I just—why am I so big?” His bottom lip curled out in the most adorable little pout. I wanted to lean in and nibble on it. Clarissa wasn’t in the mood for that. He wanted assurance and love, both of which I could give.“Because.” I closed the distance between us and kissed his cheek. “You’re growing our young.”The door clicked open and in walked Dante. “Sorry I’m late.

    “Không, nhưng tôi nghĩ tối nay anh ấy sẽ cầu hôn,” Liam nói. “Nó chỉ hợp lý thôi. Hôm qua, tôi tình cờ nghe được cuộc trò chuyện qua điện thoại của anh ấy với ai đó - tôi nghĩ là một nhân viên PR nào đó. Westcliff nói rằng nhà vua sẽ đưa ra thông báo sau vài ngày nữa - ý tôi là về Hoàng tử Haydn. Westcliff cũng muốn thông báo về việc đính hôn của chúng tôi vào khoảng thời gian đó. Nó có ý nghĩa. ”Jules đã nghiên cứu kỹ lưỡng về anh trai mình.Khuôn mặt đáng yêu của Liam rất khó đọc, nhưng đôi mắt của anh ấy không hẳn là ánh lên hạnh phúc.“You don’t have to say yes,” Jules said, feeling painfully uncomfortable. He was so damn torn about the subject he didn’t know what advice to give. He didn’t want Liam to marry an alpha he didn’t love for the sake of their family, but… He was scared that if he told Liam not to marry Westcliff, it would be selfish advice.To make things more confusing, there was a small, horrible part of him that did want Westcliff as the alpha of their family. That

  • A Prisoner Of The Alpha Wolf    Fantasy

    Except even that fantasy wasn’t enough. Thinking about the Xeus just made his broken bond ache. Ache and hurt like an old wound that was starting to bleed again. The pain somehow amplified the desire, and soon Jules was half-sobbing into his pillow, his hips pushing greedily onto the dildo. Need him, need him, can’t need him, need him. Gone, need him, gone. I need—I need—I need. It was fucking horrible. Jules had never felt worse in his life, his muscles trembling, his cock sore, his body oversensitive and needy, and his bond aching.So he tried not to think about his Xeus. He made himself think of other alphas, trying to tell himself that any alpha would do. Any alpha with a thick, hard cock would do. He was desperate enough to almost believe it.He imagined going to a ball, his cock stiff and his slick dribbling down his leg. He imagined alphas turning toward him, their nostrils flaring and their cocks straining their pants. He would be attractive to alphas for once. They would want

    Julian flushed. “It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing, after…”After sex.Devlin gave a clipped nod, clasping his hands behind his back. His fingers and his jawline itched, as they did when he was on the verge of transforming. Through sheer willpower, he managed to keep his claws in.It was a normal enough reaction, to feel protective of a young omega he cared about.It was.“But the bond took?” he said, his voice very neutral.Julian nodded, not looking at him. “We were naturally compatible.”Devlin’s claws dug into his palm. He turned away and walked to the window.He took a deep breath, staring at Dainiri’s nearly full disk, and then another, until he had his claws under control.“I see,” he heard himself say. “The risk still exists, then. Medical intervention might be needed.”“What do you mean?” Julian said. “More suppressants?”“Increasing the dose again might do more harm than good,” Devlin said stiffly. “I’m hardly a doctor, but even I know that you can’t keep changing yo

    Ignoring the question, Devlin studied him carefully. “Do you feel better?”“What?” Julian said, his brows knitting together.Devlin looked at him sharply. “Your brother said you didn’t feel well.”Julian averted his gaze. “Right! Of course. I feel better now. Much better—”“You didn’t want to go with us.”The omega winced, but he didn’t even try to deny it. So it was true.It shouldn’t have bothered him. It really was none of his business.“Why?” Devlin said.Julian shrugged. “It’s not exactly fun being a third wheel.” He still wouldn’t meet Devlin’s eyes.“You’re not telling the truth,” Devlin said, becoming more certain of it the longer Julian avoided looking at him. Stepping into the room, he closed the door behind him.It shut with a click.“What are you doing?” Julian said. “And I’m not lying. You think it’s fun—”“Julian,” Devlin said quietly. “Look at me.”After a moment, the omega finally did as he was told. There was a half-scowl on his face but some other emotion in his eyes

    “All ri—” Liam started saying, but Devlin cut him off.“Your brother can’t leave the ball with me,” he said, looking at Julian. “You don’t want any nasty rumors to start flying around, do you?”He could actually hear Julian grind his teeth.“Fine,” he said, still sounding a mix of annoyed and bewildered.The helicopter ride to the Blake house was a strange one. Liam was the only one talking, chattering non-stop about the perfection that was Viscount Nasr while Julian determinedly didn’t look at Devlin.Devlin bored his eyes into him, his fingertips tingling, his claws itching to come out. He curled his hands into fists and breathed shallowly, trying to ignore the way Julian smelled. It was impossible. Julian fucking reeked. He reeked of another alpha. Devlin wanted to fix it, run his hands all over the brat, until he smelled right.It was probably a good thing that Julian was the first to jump out of the helicopter when they arrived, because Devlin didn’t trust himself.Tearing his ga

    Julian glared at him, his cheekbones a little pink. “That was a dick move,” he said, glancing back at Nasr, who was left standing in the middle of the dance floor.“He’s much too old for you,” Devlin said, stroking his thumb against Julian’s wrist.“Stop scent-marking me,” Julian gritted out, his color heightening. “And he isn’t too old. He’s half Korf’s age.”“That shouldn’t be your measuring stick,” Devlin said. “I told you I wouldn’t allow your uncle to give you to Korf. You deserve better.”Julian chuckled. “Better? Who?”Devlin’s lips thinned. “Someone better than Nasr.”“There’s nothing wrong with Viscount Nasr. He’s perfectly nice and pleasant, and he actually sees me for being me. I’ve known him forever—he has a neighboring estate. He was always nice to me when I was a child.”“That hardly says good things about him, does it? What a creep.”Julian stomped on his right foot. “You’re being an ass,” he said, his voice a mix of annoyed and bewildered. He blinked a few times. “I do

  • A Prisoner Of The Alpha Wolf    Date

    Their date that day was unexpectedly tedious.Devlin found it difficult to keep his attention on his date, his mood sour and distracted. He was aware that he was acting like a dick, his attitude probably too cold and unapproachable. Liam seemed to have given up on trying to strike up a conversation with him after a few hesitant attempts and focused his attention entirely on the aircar race. When Liam spoke, he spoke only to the beta chaperone who had accompanied them to the race.By the time the race was over, Devlin had a headache once again, his body brimming with tension and anxiety, the source of which he couldn’t pinpoint. He barely had the patience to smile for the paparazzi as they left the track, and his smile was probably very strained. Hopefully he didn’t actually look like he wanted to punch someone.He dropped Liam off, and then he hesitated, looking at the Blake house. It would be only polite to inquire how Julian was feeling.Devlin pulled his phone out of his pocket and

  • A Prisoner Of The Alpha Wolf    Semi-darkness

    Several weeks passed like that. Westcliff called on Liam and took him out on dates, putting on that disgustingly charming mask he wore in public. More often than not, Jules accompanied them, serving as a chaperone, for appearances’ sake—officially. Unofficially, he kind of… he went because he wanted to be around the duke. It freaked him out that he felt addicted to the way Westcliff made him feel, but he couldn’t help himself. It felt so good, especially when Westcliff allowed him to rub his face against his scent gland—the euphoria was beyond his ability to express properly. Afterward, Jules felt so embarrassed, but thankfully, Westcliff didn’t make fun of him and always acted as if there was nothing weird about his behavior. “Better?” he would say in a quiet murmur, and Jules would flush and nod and look anywhere but at him. Every time he told himself it was the last time, but his resolve melted into a mass of goo the next time he saw the duke. It was horrible. Horribly addictive.

Ngược lại với ý muốn của mình, anh thấy mình đang nghĩ đến cảm giác an toàn như thế nào trong vòng tay của Westcliff ngày hôm qua, như thể không gì có thể chạm vào anh hay làm anh bị thương. Có lẽ có Westcliff làm alpha của họ sẽ không phải là một điều tồi tệ. Có lẽ anh nên cho anh ta một cơ hội. *** Quyết tâm của Jules để cho Westcliff một cơ hội kéo dài chính xác cho đến khi Westcliff gọi điện cho họ - trên Liam - vào buổi chiều. Anh không biết điều gì ở người đàn ông này đã khiến anh nổi gai ốc, tự ý thức và chỉ trích thái quá. Đó là một sự kết hợp kỳ lạ giữa các cảm xúc, nhưng anh không thể không nhìn Westcliff bằng ánh mắt dò xét, hoài nghi khi công tước đang nói chuyện nhỏ với Liam và chú Wayne.
