Jake Her love’s moans reach my ears, causing my lips to curl. I told Jordan and Kev to take care of her and it appears they’re doing just that.Good.I wrap up my email to one of my clients he wants a discount for his project request, which isn’t happening and hit send. Kev ’s skills are tooimpressive to ever earn a discount price, something my client will now understand. He can either pay in full, plus a percentage for the perceived insult, or go elsewhere with his bullshit.We primarily do this to help finance projects on the island. Which makes it unnecessary in the grand scheme of our pack dynamics. But as Kev enjoys playing with knives and guns, it serves as a worthwhile effort on our part.Jordan ’s part of the business is where we make most of our money. He’s a master blackmailer, always finding the right rich people to exploit andusing it to our benefit. And it helps that Kev kills for some of them; adds fodder to the files.Jordan is also an expert at laundering funds throu
Vanessa I stare at the woman in the mirror, not recognizing her.The last few days have been a mind-blowing experience, and not just in bed, but outside of it, too. Jordan and Kev have seen to my every needfeeding me, bathing me, talking to me about life, and pleasuring me with their mouths.They’ve not pushed me to take their knots again.Just allowed me to explore and familiarize myself with them while teaching me about their pack and how they thrive on this island.The Elders have no idea what they’re really up to here or how many of the wolves on this island are not actually regulated rejectees. They’re heretraining and thriving and using the land as their own. I’m stunned by the information, but even more shocked that they provided it to me without a single hesitation. Like they already trust medespite barely knowing me. Perhaps because they’ve been inside me.Or because our wolves seem to harbor this age-old connection that surpasses the meaning of time.Regardless of the re
Vanessa he Carnage Wolves are nothing like the savage beasts depicted by AlphaBryson.They’re intimidating, yes.But there’s an intelligence to them that I admire. They’re also polite andrespectful. Even the Alphas treat me kindly, gazing upon me with aninterest very unlike the wolves back in Blood moon Pack.These Alphas are curious about me, the person. Not me, the woman.Well, there may be some of that intrigue, but several have remarked howthey’re looking forward to me mating Jake ’s clan.It’s formal, yet laid back.And I feel safe with Jordan and Kev on either side of me with Jake atmy back. There’s been a few times he’s possessively placed his hand on myhip or kissed my neck.Which just makes my wolf preen.Because Jake is very clearly the Pack Alpha on this island. Hisdominance is a blistering heat against my senses that makes me want tokneel at his feet. But he keeps me upright with his soft touches and subtlecommentary.“Alpha Duncan is the security master I told y
Kev want Alpha Dirk and Alpha Kin monitored,” Jake says softly fromthe foot of the bed.This has become our nightly routine—Jordan and I wear out our littlewolf, then Jake joins us for a chat after she falls asleep.I know what he’s doing.He’s avoiding fucking Vanessa because he doesn’t trust himself not toclaim her.His wolf is riding him hard, something that was absolutely evidentduring tonight’s welcome party. He couldn’t keep his hands off Vanessa , hispossessive instincts flaring to life in every conceivable way.It was entertaining to observe.Jordan exuded a similar need to stake his claim, one driven by the fact hehasn’t knotted her yet. Although, he’s not holding back out of fear ofclaiming her—we both know to wait for Jake . No, Jordan is justprolonging his gratification, as per usual. He’s waiting until he can’t denyhimself for a moment longer. Then Vanessa will be in for the ride of her life.And I fully intend to watch.Maybe I’ll even participate.Help drive J
Vanessa My wolf is agitated.I can feel her stirring beneath my skin, her fur rubbing against mynerves and demanding an outlet.I just can’t figure out if the outlet she craves is a shift or a goodknotting. Maybe both.I’ve dreamt about Jordan , Kev , and Jake every night since going intoheat. Each dream is progressively sexier, driving me mad with need.A need that Jordan and Kev have both seen to several mornings thisweek.Just without their knots.Which seems to only make my dreams that much more sensual.I want them inside me, and not just in my mouth.My wolf hums in agreement before irritating my skin once more.“You’re in need of a shift,” Kev says as he enters the room with a towelwrapped around his hips. We just finished playing in the shower.Without the knot, I think irritably.None of them have properly fucked me since my estrus and that wasseveral days ago. No, wait, a week ago.My sense of time here is slipping.It’s been a while. That’s what matters. And I want m
Jake Something is bothering Vanessa . It started shortly after her shift, or perhaps was deepened by her shift, and led to her telling me she was fine when that clearly wasn’t the case.I don’t appreciate lies.I appreciate truths.Details are not required. I won’t push her to talk to me. But I do need her to tell me when something is wrong, even if she doesn’t elaborate.Honesty is imperative in a clan.As Alphas, we’ll push her boundaries and reach limits that she may not be comfortable exploring, and if she doesn’t voice her concerns, we may not know we’ve gone too far until it’s too late.And that’s unacceptable.Tonight’s offense is obviously mild, and her punishment won’t be harsh. However, I intend to use her little lie as a teaching moment.Because we can’t afford larger lies in the future.“Are you all right to helm the yacht on your own?” I ask Beta Lock and Alpha Mackin. They are two of the wolves we typically take with us whensailing into the mainland.Beta Lock is an ex
Vanessa olt gave me a shirt.Then he fisted my hair and tilted my head back to examine myneck, his gaze intent as he bent to kiss the mark he left on my throat.My skin still tingles now with the memory of the pleasure chasing awaythe pain.A logical part of me is aware that I should be pissed at him for pulling aknife on me, but my wolf is too intrigued to allow that logical part to gainpurpose.Not once did I feel threatened beneath him. The tension in his body toldme he was very much in control.And the hardness pressed up against my core told me he was also veryaroused by the position.The whole display of power somehow kept me grounded. It made mefeel safe despite the lethal blade against my skin.He didn’t use silver on me, just steel.Maybe I would have felt more fear had it been the latter.Regardless, I’m fascinated by the way my body responded to his. Therewas no fear, only mild interest.And a hell of a lot of anger over the punishment they gave me for“lying.”How
JakeHe meet Kev’s gaze.There’s only one way this is going to work and the subtle nod he gives me says he understands that.I don’t trust my wolf not to claim her, which means I can’t fully knot her. But Kev can. If he bites her, the bond won’t snap into place. It needsmy blessing as the clan leader.And as much as I want to claim Vanessa , I can’t.Not yet. We’ve only just begun discussing this situation, and her willingness to share me says we’re not ready. Because she doesn’t yet understand what it means to be our Omega. My anger isn’t directed at her, it’s meant for herpack and the sorry excuse of an Alpha who raises the blood moon females to accept such disrespectful practices. A harem is fine.But not when you have a mate.A mate is meant to be cherished and worshiped, not degraded to a life of constant servitude. To take other women while in her presence is just sofucking wrong. To force the women to just accept it is even worse. I’ve known about Alpha Bryson’s penchants fo
Epilogue. One Year Laterstand beneath a tree, watching Vanessa as she spins around the yard with our daughter in her arms. Technically, the baby has Kev ’s genetics, not mine, but all three of us consider that little girl ours, just like Vanessa .She’s as beautiful as her mother. The tenderness of the moment keeps me from interrupting as I don’t have the best news to deliver. I don’t want to spoil their fun. Vanessa giggles as the baby babbles at her.Then Kev swoops in to steal the little bundle of love away. He does it with a huge grin that makes Vanessa laugh harder, but his dark eyes catch mine and I know he’s done this for me.He can sense that I need to talk to her.I’ve kept it from the mental connection, not wanting to risk Vanessa overhearing it in my thoughts. But he reads me almost as well as Jordan does.“I’m going to go see if I can’t coax our little beauty into taking a nap,”Kev says, a purr already igniting in his chest. “Then maybe mommy will reward me by eng

My skin still tingles now with the memory of the pleasure chasing away the pain. A logical part of me is aware that I should be pissed at him for pulling a knife on me, but my wolf is too intrigued to allow that logical part to gain purpose.

JordanHe considers her a moment, his expression thoughtful. There’s still so much Vanessa has to learn about our kind. It’s a good thing we have aneternity to teach her.“It’s common for Carnage Wolves destined to be Pack Alphas to venture into the wild to find themselves, to prove themselves worthythrough a series of challenges,” Jake explains slowly. “Accepting my fate from the Elders was the first challenge in my journey. Killing Bryson will be my final challenge, making it time for me to finally return to the Black Mountain Pack.”“Oh.” She swallows. “So everyone will, uh, leave with you?”“Not everyone,” he says. “There are wolves who need to be kept on Carnage Island. And we’ll ensure they survive and prosper. It’ll be asecondary base for our kind, a shelter of protection.”“I see.” She sounds breathless. “A-and me?”He stares at her. “What do you think?”“I…” She clears her throat, some of that confidence seeming to seep back into her stature, the wolf inside her remindin
I understand she has Blood moon genetics in her as well, but the only way she could have been created is if an Alpha knotted her mother.Which means her mother either also had Carnage Wolf ancestry or was a very unique breed of wolf.Regardless, the Carnage part of her is going to dominate the Blood moon side. The process started when she first shifted. She’s becoming one with her wolf. And when that merger completes itself, she’ll very likely go into a fullestrus cycle. Which is when we’ll claim her.Jake already spoke to his father about it, asking if he knew of any other half-breeds that turned Omega in the past. There was only one caseAlpha Umber knew about, and that female did become a full Omega once taken by her Alpha clan.He told Jake this is his final test to claim the Omega. Once our clan is done, we’ll gain the required favor of the pack and Jake will be able to return as the incoming Black Mountain Alpha.It’s almost a circumstance of fate that we couldn’t complete the
Chapter Vanessa I wake to a pang in my lower belly, my thighs trembling with an aftershock of pain that elicits a low whimper from my chest. Ugh. It feels like a tree fell on my head.Every part of me aches, but especially my insides. I groan, trying to curl into a ball, only to come up against a hard wall of flesh. I freeze, my heart leaping into my throat.Warmth washes over me, touching me all the way to my toes.“Morning, gorgeous,” a deep voice rumbles, fingers combing through my hair. “Well, evening, technically. You’ve slept all day.” I swallow. Where am I?Everything feels so hazy.So unclear.So… so… unreal.Because the fantasy unfolding in my mind can’t be accurate. Jake forcing me to shift. Followed by a chase. Kev catching me. Both of them… I shiver, the vivid memory of having them inside me making my thighs clench, which stirs another whine from deep within. Because ow.“Shhh,” the masculine wall hums.Jordan , I recognize, his peppermint scent surrounding me. But there
Chapter Jordan he’s beautiful,” I whisper, stroking my palm up and down her thigh,offering her comfort as she begins her descent into true madness.Estrus is a multi day affair and we’re only in the first few hours of her heat cycle. She was beautifully aware for the beginning, something that I know Jake is pleased about. He wanted her to be aware enough to consent and participate in the union.But he didn’t bite her. Not truly, anyway.I understand why.He wants to make sure she accepts all three of us first. I have no doubt that she will. She responded to my kiss with a passion I felt all the way to my soul.She wants us all.And once she wakes up, it’ll be my turn to knot her.Our sweet, beautiful Omega.A diamond we never anticipated finding on this island.The Alphas are going to be furious when they wake, but we won her fair and square. And now she’s sequestered away in our underground den. Not the one she’s been in the last few days. That home is for the others to be able to easil
Vanessa Energy hums through the air, causing the hairs along my arms to stand on end.But it’s for an entirely different reason today than two months ago.I’m in the same field.Standing in the same place I once kneeled.Only now I’m standing. I’m clothed. And I’m staring directly at the male who once rejected me.Seeing Canton now, I can’t remember why I ever found him attractive.He has nothing on my three mates. He’s a fucking pansy ass, Kev says to us all. Look at him. He’s ready to wet himself just like last time.That pansy ass managed to keep a hold on Vanessa ’s wolf for almost a week, Jake reminds him. Looks can be deceiving.He’s right.I remember feeling Canton’s power.He’s certainly not weak. He took advantage of an untrained shifter, Kev argues. Hardly makeshim strong.Also a fair point. I didn’t know how to control my inner animal and she was pissed at me for denying her all these years. It made her easy tomanipulate.Alpha Crane clears his throat. “Well. We’re here,
Jake I love is very particular about her nest.That started around day two of her heat.We’re now on day nine and all of us are exhausted.“I’m not fucking you until you eat that sandwich,” Kev says sternly, making my lips curl. “Now, Vanessa .”She growls at him.He growls back.We’re not in the nest right now, but on the floor beside it. Because we learned on day three that food in the nest creates a furiouslittle Omega. And we’ve not made that mistake since.But she’s still not a fan of eating. She just wants our seed.However, we’ve found withholding sex will eventually make her cooperate. Which Kev is doing now while I check in on island operations.The power and telephone functions were finally fully restored three days ago.Alpha Lance, Alpha Edwin, and Alpha Ion all worked as a team to help clean up the mess Alpha Kin made. Alpha Ebony and Alpha Pan also returned after the burial to assist.And Alpha Dirk oversaw the restoration of telecommunications on his own.I’ve review
Vanessa Blood.Sweat.Sex.I’m swimming in a sea of peppermint, ash, copper, and pine. I never want to surface.Swimming. Drowning. Swimming again.But there’s something not quite right. The bed is too lumpy. It’s… imperfect.And I really dislike that sensation. I stir from my cloud of dizzy desire and hit the lump on the bed. It’s soft and plushy and in the wrong place.Growling, I move it to the corner. But then I find another misshapen clump and have to move it, too.Which unearths a third one.And then a fourth. By the the tenth, I’m a snarling mess, ripping apart the bed and everything on it.Clearly, I need to make the bed again.Once I’m satisfied with the mattress and the lack of bumps, I start over. Carefully.I pick up sheets and shirts and jeans and towels and everything I can find, crafting the perfect bed to rest within. My males are here.I feel them watching me.One of them even hands items to me, trying to help. I purr when I like the offering and snarl when I dislike
