Kev The little wolf follows close behind me as I lead her up the hill to our den. When I reached down to carry her earlier, she stood up and shook outher fur, then gave me a lopsided grin. It seemed to be a dare from her animal, or maybe an invitation.Shrugging, I kicked off my pants and shifted.Then she happily trotted along beside me up the path. Jake was right her animal is definitely in control.I can see the conflict in her eyes every time I glance at her, the general confusion as to why her wolf is so easily trusting mine.It’s dangerous.I’m dangerous.But the little wolf seems quite taken with my purr, so I continue to emanate the sound to soothe her.It’s a natural reaction after observing her terror in the waves. My animal is hellbent now on protecting hers.The word Omega whispers through my mind. She doesn’t smell right, but something about her is calling to all my instincts.Some wolves have fated mates. Carnage Wolves have a different form of fate Alphas are inherent
Vanessa My wolf has a death wish.She’s a fucking psycho.And she’s going to get us killed.Because she decided to take a nap in the Carnage Island Alpha’s bed.His low growl from the doorway is a warning I feel to my very core.But all it does is draw a little whine of irritation from my suicidal wolf.She picks up her head, yawns at him, and proceeds to flop over to her other side.And closes her eyes.I scream at her to move. To bow. To run. Anything but just relax in the Alpha’s bed as though she belongs there.“I see,” he says, his tone holding a lethal note that makes me wince inside.This is not going to end well.“I think we need to have a conversation about etiquette and common decency, little one.” He sounds calm. Too calm. And because my wolf’seyes are closed, I can’t see his face. But I hear him prowling toward me, his presence a darkness threatening to suffocate me from the inside out.Jake , called him.A name I know very well.A name I’ve feared for years.Jake isn’t
Jordan love’s sweet aroma makes me so fucking hard, I nearly come from the scent alone.Jake groans, his head falling to her shoulder. “Fuck.”Yes. Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do. Fuck Vanessa .But Jake is already inside her, his knot claiming the sweet heaven between her thighs.Kev growls, as do I. Not in anger, but in hunger.Our mate is going into heat. Her gaze is liquid black, her pupils blown so wide I can barely see the whites of her eyes. That didn’t happen last time.Which tells me this is the real deal. She’s about to lose herself to estrus for days, maybe even a week or more.And I cannot fucking wait.“I have to address the pack,” Jake says, sounding agonized by the mere notion of having to leave her in this state.But we just suffered a major loss with Alpha Duncan’s death. And experienced a huge win by taking down Alpha Bryson.Jake doesn’t have a choice. This is where his duty as Pack Alpha will have to come first. “You can make it a quick speech,” I
Kev Jakeis a better wolf than I am.He’s somehow holding himself together for this speech and embracing the pack as though he has all the time in the world.While all I want to do is return to the den and fuck our mate into oblivion.However, it’s Jordan ’s turn. I’m just pissed I couldn’t be there to watch him finally let himself fuck her.“It’s a new era for the Black Mountain Pack,” Jake is saying.“Because we’re finally ready to go home.”Howls echo into the night, the wolves thrilled that we’ve handled the Blood moon Pack once and for all. The Santeetlah Pack is all that’s left. Butwe’ll save them for after Jake ascends.Alpha Bryson became our primary challenge seven years ago. And now he’s dead.A bit anticlimactic for my taste, but that’s Jake ’s way. He’s not the type to prolong torture or make someone suffer. When he has the upperhand, he uses it without remorse.I’m just sad I didn’t have a chance to take the bastard’s head.It would have made for a nice trophy in the den
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
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 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,
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
