Allison P.O.V. Hearing Blake tell me he is a virgin is kind of a shock to the system as I never once thought that would be a possibility. On the other hand, I could also not complain over past exploits as I am not a virgin myself. The realization dawns on me, and I gasp internally. He has waited patiently for me his whole life, and here I am; his mate and a whore. Dawn growls at my thoughts, not liking the way I am thinking, but it is the truth. Will he finally throw me away when he hears that I am not pure as he is? I hug my knees tighter together. I think he can feel the extra tension with me, because his wolf nudged my leg with his snout, whining again. I have to struggle to keep from giggling at his antics. ‘Please talk to me, baby.’ Blake pleads, but I have no idea what to say to him? How do I ask? Where do I start? “I’m just really overwhelmed.” I mutter, not looking up. If I look up I know I will cave and spill everything. Blake sighs in my mind. ‘Shadow says it’s something
Bane P.O.V. I’ve been keeping myself busy with the little snitch lawyer that helped my wife escape me. I’ve made it fun; torturing him and getting all sorts of nonsense information out of him. He is a tough nut to crack, I must admit as such, but I will crack him! He knows where my Annabel, or Allison as she goes by now, went, and when he tells me I am going to drag her pretty little ass back here and make her understand who is the boss of her, unless I just kill her when I see in her pure anger. I don’t even care if she changed her name. When she is back with me we will fix that little mistake and get her back to her real name, as I refuse to call her anything else. She will always be Anabel - a lost little kitten. I’ll keep it that way. She has been with someone else. I know because I have felt it. It was the weirdest feeling in the world. I was perfectly fine, knowing she was alive and well somewhere, and I just needed to find her. Then all of a sudden it feels like my heart is b
Blake P.O.V.As I see Bane slam his computer shut I have to wonder what that is about? Allie is being held by Tristan now, and it takes everything in me not to growl at the sight, but truth be told; I am grateful that she has made such good friends with him and Elliott, who is standing beside her with a hand on her shoulder. She is shaking. I know the fact that hearing that bastard's voice again was a lot to take in, and I truly didn’t know he would be in the meeting today. It was why I muted my computer after I greeted him. I wanted to give her a way out, but she insisted on being here. ‘Baby, I am sorry. I never thought he would bring you up. I had no idea he would be here.’ Allie’s eyes meet mine, and in them I see determination mixed with the trauma based fear everyone would have for their former captor and tormentor. ‘My body is reacting on its own accord. I think that therapist needs to be a first priority, Blake. I need to work through this. One day I am going to face Bane ag
Allison P.O.V. I can’t believe this is happening. Blake is moving further down my body, kissing his way down to my stomach and further down to my thighs. I don’t even understand how we came here other than Dawn temporarily taking over in the office and telling him I want him. She is not wrong in any capacity, but I had not thought it would be today we were doing this. ‘Stop fighting this damn matebond, Allie! We need to be mated and marked by Blake and Shadow if we are ever going to be free. And you want them as much as I do!’ Again, she is not wrong, but fuck! After everything Bane put me through I never thought I would trust another being with my heart and soul ever again, let alone my body. I am so shy. My reaction to his naked body in the woods being any indication, but I guess my wolf is right; I need to get it together and embrace who I really am. “Oh.. Mhhm!” My mouth is uttering sounds I didn’t know it contained. Blake is doing all sorts of delicious things to me, making my
Bane P.O.V.I had rushed out of my office after slamming my computer down. I had gotten noting out of those useless Councilmen nor had Alpha fucking Blake given me anything. I still think he is hiding something from me, and that something could very well be a someone. We hate each other with a passion and have done that all our lives. We met as kids do to our fathers being Alpha’s, but he always had to have such high morales and thought Omega’s as worth something. Psst! Goodie-two-shoes. His father is like him, and I guess I am like my father. They also didn’t like each other which was obvious. My mother died before I can remember her, and my father always said it was a tragedy that she died, and he never really recovered from the loss of her, not until Helen came into his life after I became an adult. She was his second chance mate and he accepted her immediately regardless of what I said. He denounced the Alpha title to me, wanting to focus all his time on her, and so I became the
Blake P.O.V.5 days later I’m sitting in my office when my beautiful mate suddenly comes running through the door giggling madly, someone chasing her. She makes a leap and I hurriedly push my chair backwards and catch her in my lap. Her giggles intensifies when Tristan rushes through the door after her. He scowls at her when he sees her in my lap, and I smirk at him. “Baby, what did you do?” I ask her, and she just shrugs with the biggest smile on her face. Tristan places his hands on his hips. “Not fair hiding in your mates lap, Allie.” He says with an eye roll. Allie sticks his tongue out at him and fishes something out of her pocket. She quickly stuff her mouth full of it, while Tristan looks on helplessly. “Did she steal your food again, dude?” I ask with a laugh and Tristan just groans.“If you would just feed her once in a while instead of only doing other adult things..” “You mean fuck her brains out?” Allie coughs on her food, choking. I slap her on the back while Tristan
Allison P.O.V. The alarm going off in the packground stops the chase Tristan and I have had going since I stole some of his favourite cookies. I love teasing our Beta. He feels like an elder brother to me, and we have a connection deeper than just ranked wolves. I have it with Elliott as well, but more like a best friend kind of thing. I love spending time with all of them, Elliott’s sweet mate included. The way she came in during the meeting with the Councilmen and comforted me - no questions asked. Just pure comfort and support. I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, but here I am. “Fuck! Allie you need to go down to the safe room…” I just stare at my Beta like he is an idiot for even thinking such a thought. I would never just hide when my pack is in danger. I may not be trained, but I am the Luna of this pack and I will be damned if I do not try to defend it when an enemy is
Allison P.O.V.“... serious threat. We need to take every precaution we can.” Blake and I walk through the door as one of the Councilmen stops talking. We’re holding hands, our heads held high. We are the Alpha couple of this pack. Blake made it obvious when we were changing clothes and getting washed that he would not tolerate anything less for me. I am to be his equal in this pack. Both Alpha’s in our own right. I argued that Tristan had told me that even if a female is born to an Alpha, she will be a Luna with Alpha blood when she mates, but Blake just shrugged. “That may be how others do it, baby. But I am not going to take this away from you. Unless you don’t want it, I will make it clear that you are my Alpha mate and will be Alpha to this pack as well as I am.” I asked to think about it, and he gave me as much time as I needed. It’s wondrous that he will even allow it. Dawn told me privately that Alpha males usually are very territorial about their positions. “Greetings every
Bane P.O.V. “Scream!” The female bites her lips so it bleeds, but no sound comes out. I am on the verge of imploding. I need her to stop being such a stubborn bitch and fucking scream for me. “You will scream soon enough.” I tell her, as I caress one of the wounds I inflicted on her last night. She has been a joy to torture and hurt. Not as much as Annabel, but close enough that I have been able to have actual orgasms from it. Other times I have Tabatha come and glamour the girl to look and sound like Annabel. I curse her every day. Fucking cunt. Why couldn’t she just stay where she was supposed to? This is all her fault, and I will be sure to tell her over and over again. She will know the fucking wrath of me when I have in my hands again. I can feel the rage burn in my veins, and it won’t do that if I kill the Alpha’s bitch. Not now. I leave her whimpering in bed, as I go out and grab the first female Omega I come across. I drag her into the bedroom in her hair. She at least has t
Blake P.O.V. I can’t get the thought about what Allie just said out of my head. She’s been having this off feeling about Lianne since we went home, and if I learned anything in the short time we’ve been together it’s trusting her instinct when she says or feels something. Even with our guests here, I will not forget what she just mindlinked me. ‘Blake, do you think Talia can maybe help us? I know she is a witch, and what I am feeling with Lianne is not shifter related. Her wolf is fine. It’s something else. Something I can’t quite put my finger to.’ We’re standing hand in hand at the front door, waiting for our guests to arrive there, when Allie mindlinks me. I open my eyes to ask why she is mindlinking me when I realize the others have gone with us. I look over my shoulders at Tristan, Lianne, Elliott and Cassie. They are all standing behind us, holding hands and in order of rank. I raise an eyebrow at the guys, but they just raise one right back at me. I ponder what Allie asked as
Allison P.O.V. I feel very confused when the gorgeous woman, Talia, says that my mate has been sending emails to witches tonight. Why would he not talk to me about it first? Has he been doing anything else without talking to me? Was that why he refused my help when I asked earlier? Does he not think I am strong enough to handle whatever we have to do to take Bane down? I feel a bit sad, isolated and angry at the thought of Blake not sharing the load of this weight with me. We are mates and partners. Equals. I sigh internally disregarding the feelings as soon as they present themselves. If Blake did this without talking to me, it was because he felt like he had to take action and he would have spoken to me tomorrow. Would I have been pissed he just went ahead and reacted without speaking to me? Perhaps. But he has been Alpha long before I became his mate, and he knows what to do and who to contact. I don’t. I would have gone with his suggestions anyway. ‘I trust your judgement, Alli
Blake P.O.V. The flight home, after we accepted Lianne into our pack, was uneventful, thank the Moon Goddess. Lianne and Allie made smalltalk and seemed to hit it off quite a bit, although Allie kept giving Lianne glances of confusion or concern. I made a mental note to ask her when we were back home, but it was so late when we finally reached the packhouse, I decided to wait. Lianne and Tristan went to his room in the packhouse, and I mindlinked his parents about the findings in the Night Howl pack, and that they should give them space to get to know each other before raining down with questions and happiness. My aunt made a rude comment I deliberately overheard. I also got a notification on my phone about a bounty the Council had issued on Bane. He was to be taken alive or dead, I myself preferred the last, to be brought to justice for his crimes against our community. I sent it to some of our associates, doubling the fee if they killed him within the next month. I have no doubt i
Bane P.O.V. “Sir, the agent from Night Howl is back.” One of my men says with a deep bow of his head. I lazily gesture for them to step forward. We are currently bunked down in a small pack we overtook a few days ago. I have managed to gather 150 rogues under me so far. They are so willing to come when I promise them free women and killing if they just do as I say, when I say it. It was a piece of cake to be voted Alpha of the Rogues, and now I am in control. Iron control. The little pack we overtook fought bravely, but we killed every warrior and child, keeping the women for fun and games. Especially the little Alpha’s daughter has been a pleasure to break in since the attack. Her family is one of the only ones not dead - they are captives in the cellars. Leverage so she will behave properly.“What news from my old pack?” I ask, looking at the spy. “Your former mate and her new boytoy were there yesterday, Alpha.” She says with a grimace to her companion. I scowl. So Annab
Allison P.O.V.“What the actual fuck what that?” I yell, Blake trying to get me to calm down, but I just point a finger at him. We might not have been together for very long, but even he knows not to come between me and whatever pissed me off. “Excuse me?” Alpha Elias says, crossing his arms, but I just stare him down until he squirms. “Well, I better let Pete explain what is going on.” “No! You better do a fucking better job at being the Alpha here, Elias. You are supposed to be the leader, and nonetheless I was the one who had to interfere when your Beta overstepped and tried to come between the matebond. You need to do better!” He scoffs, as he glares at me. “Young lady..” “Don’t you dare ‘young lady’ me, you old fool! You let your bastard of a son terrorize this poor pack, his fated mate, me, and everyone else around him. You let him take the title without a second thought when you found your second chance mate. You do not have the power to scold me. You’ve made mistakes, grav
Allison P.O.V. The flight from our pack to the Night Howl pack is only a couple of hours, although the drive was so long. I made it a point to visit Mr. F. after we decided to go back for Tristan’s mate and explain things to him. I told him if he had any wishes for anything to go to Elliott or Cassie, and who they are in our Rank. He asked me to be careful. Omega’s are caring for him, as he is still very weak. I also implored Elliott to keep an eye on him for me, which he promised.Blake has kept me close ever since we took off, knowing this is going to be hard no matter how much I am focusing on Tristan and his search for his mate. He mindlinked that he still smells her scent on Alpha Elias and Luna Helen, so the possibility is that she is the Omega who tends to their clothes, or someone who works closely with them.‘Allie, does Pete have any siblings?’ Blake suddenly asks, as we are in the car bringing us from the airport to the packlands. I think hard on this one.‘He may have men
Blake P.O.V. The sun hits my face, and I turn in the bed to draw Allie into me. The meeting yesterday ended sometime late last night, and everyone agreed to my invitation to stay the night in our packhouse. I talked to Head Councilman Eddar and Alpha Elias after everyone else had gone to bed, after I had made sure Allie was okay and in bed as well. They both told me not to worry about the Beta of Night Howl. He is traumatized, but I still can’t shake the feeling something is off with him. I know Allie and Dawn felt the same way at the meeting, as she continuously tried to get a read on him. My arms hit empty space on the side where Allie was supposed to lie next to me, and I sat over end. Where is my mate? ‘Baby?’ My panicked mind voice tries to reach her, and luckily she answers right away. ‘Morning darling. I’m in the downstairs kitchen. I couldn’t wake you, and I wanted to help make breakfast. I left a note on the side table and the pillow.’ I look at the pillow and there is a
Allison P.O.V.“... serious threat. We need to take every precaution we can.” Blake and I walk through the door as one of the Councilmen stops talking. We’re holding hands, our heads held high. We are the Alpha couple of this pack. Blake made it obvious when we were changing clothes and getting washed that he would not tolerate anything less for me. I am to be his equal in this pack. Both Alpha’s in our own right. I argued that Tristan had told me that even if a female is born to an Alpha, she will be a Luna with Alpha blood when she mates, but Blake just shrugged. “That may be how others do it, baby. But I am not going to take this away from you. Unless you don’t want it, I will make it clear that you are my Alpha mate and will be Alpha to this pack as well as I am.” I asked to think about it, and he gave me as much time as I needed. It’s wondrous that he will even allow it. Dawn told me privately that Alpha males usually are very territorial about their positions. “Greetings every
