It's been a few weeks since Braddock showed any affection at all towards me, I think that small kiss on my nose made him not like me as much, especially when he said it was a mistake, I can't lie that it hurt, I felt a sting of pain in my chest. I know he said he wouldn't hurt me and I trust that, but he did hurt me by saying his small little kiss on my nose was a mistake. I admit I've kept my distance, but if that was a mistake, then what am I to him but a mistake. When I talked to Cynthia about it at one of our sessions, she explained that he probably overstepped, he should have asked for my permission. I thought a kiss is supposed to be spotaneous, raw passion. She also stated that since he knows about my trauma and that he told me he wouldn't do anything to me without my conscent, he might have felt the need to apologize. Then when I asked him why he cooks and he told me he enjoys it and it relaxes him, I found the courage to ask him if he would teach me how to cook. When I
Her scent is overpowering now, it's all over our room, in every inch of the pack house, it's been six weeks and I'm ready to explode. I can't even get relief in the shower, I've tried and it just doesn't work, my body is craving her. I pace back and forth in my office, tonights the full moon and she'll go into heat and that alone scares me, what if I can't control myself, what if she can't control herself and we both regret it tomorrow morning.I mind link Cynthia, "you need to tell her about her heat, it's going to hit her tonight and I have to be honest with you, I'm not sure if I can resist her at this point."Cynthia mind links me back, "already have that as part of our session after her training, good luck tonight, you're both going to need it."I roll my eyes, "you can be such an ass you know that."She chuckles, "well after this morning your lucky I love you and still talk to you."I look out my window and watch as Leah trains with Charlie, I bite the pad of my thumb watching
Training with Leah is always good, but today I'm so off it's not funny and there's good reason. I literally, smashed Braddock's balls this morning, in a panic attack when I realized I was on top of him in his bed. Trying to get off him, I moved too quickly and smashed my knee into his balls, the growl that errupted from him frightened me so much, I bolted into the ensuite and stayed there till I heard him leave. I got dressed and met Leah for training. Now, she's kicking my ass and I deserve it, how could I be so careless, it was my decision to crawl into his bed after he fell asleep. I wanted to be near him and not have any nightmare, so I crawled in next to him, but I guess, my body is use to being on him. Leah's voice breaks my thoughts, "okay, shower time and then I'll walk with you to meet with Cynthia for your session," she picks up my water bottle and tosses it to me. We walk towards the showers and she clears her throat, "what's going on, where were you during training
I hear the door open and shut, I know it's Charlie, her scent is swirling in the air. I left a note on the door for her to go shower and get dressed in the outfit layed out for her and then I would come and get her.I hear her giggle as she makes her way up the stairs. I walk into the kitchen and make sure dinner will be ready when I need to plate it. The Lobster will be ready within 10 minutes, for me to remove the meat and plate it. I walk out to the varanda and light the candles, I check the wine that's uncorked to breath, it smells fruity, so I think she'll like it. I go to the guest room and dress, in black slack, a black silk button shirt and black loafers. I shaved and left my now soft beard framing my jaw line, my hair is freshly cut, short on the sides and longer on top, my curls droop over my forehead. I can't believe how nervous I am, like a teenager on his first date, but I guess this is actually our first date and I didn't even ask her for it.I take a deep breath
He holds my hand and leads me from the table, the music playing was soft, he wraps his muscular arm around my waist and pulls me into him, he sways his body and twirls me out and then back in. I look up at him, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to dance," my cheeks burn with embarrassement. He smiles down at me, "not a problem my love, just follow my lead.' He holds me and the next thing I know, I'm dancing with him and laughing, my body sways to the music, "see it's easy and you're a natural." We dance for a while, until I start fanning my face, "I'm a little hot, maybe we should sit a while." He nods at me and we sit and he hands me my glass of wine and I gulp it down. He archs his brow at me and then looks up in the sky, "Shit," he looks at me, "my love lets go inside, I need to lock up the house, you go upstairs and start a bath, only use cold water ok." He takes my hand and practically pulls me inside the house, shutting the doors and locking them. He walks me to the stairs an
She looks like a princess in the dress I had Leah purchase, her black hair sits on top of her head with curls framing her beautiful face, they bounce as I twirl her. Having gotten her first kiss and now her first dance my heart races with anticipation, as I watch her face flush and she fans at it. When she sat and gulped down a full glass of wine, I knew her heat was beginning, I look up and the moon is full overhead. After I ensured all the doors where locked, I headed up the stairs carrying a tray of fruit and chocolates in one hand and a bucket of ice with wine and waters in the other and a heart full of love.I thought I was prepared for everything and it was going good, my mistake was taking her out of the tub and laying her on the bed. The scream from her lips, shattered my soul, the amount of pain and anguish wasn't measurable, her little body curled into itself. I moved away quickly, pulling on sweatpants and a t-shirt as I watched helplessly her going through hell. Her
"Okay so cooking classes begin tomorrow," I snicker at his words as I clean up the mess I made trying to make pancakes as he moves around the kitchen cooking edible food."Whatever you say, Alpha," I giggle as I sweep up the flour on the floor, then head towards the islalnd to wipe it down. His arms wrap around my waist, he places a soft gentle kiss on my neck right below my ear, his warm breath fans my ear, "I love you Charlie for trying." I tilt my head back and look up at him, his head lowers more as he places a tender kiss to my lips, I can't help but smile as he breaks it and turns back to the stove. I want to ask him if he means last night or this breakfast fiasco, maybe he means both but before I can ask the kitchen door opens and the Beta couple walks in, looking happy and relaxed as they approach the island. Beta Chris nods at me, "good morning Luna, Alpha," he looks at me and smiles as he passes and walks to the coffee maker. I jump up on a stool and Cynthia sits nex
I shout at Cynthia through our mind link, "it's been 2 weeks and it's not getting any better, she needs to stop this now." She doesn't answer me as another bloodcurdling scream errupts from the down stairs bedroom. The terror pulsing through the bond keeps Ceaser on high alert and is working my last nerve.I pace outside the door, listening to her sobs as she relives her nightmares over and over again, all for a full moon, all to please my desire for her and it breaks my heart. She won't let me inside, she won't let me comfort her and it's driving me insane. Chris and Steve both stay with me as she does her evening session, both ready to stop me, if I shift or try and barge into the room. I walk back to my office and grab the bottle of whisky and drink straight from it. They both watch me as I down 1/2 the bottle, "she's trying hard Alpha, maybe you shouldn't," Chris starts a sentence but stops when the bottle fly's at his head and he catches it.I growl at him, "I know she's tr
I sit in my office watching the clock tick away, her father will be here any minute and though I’ve thought about everything I will say and every question I will ask, I’m nervous, like a teenage boy wanting permission to date his daughter. I just hope Sasha stays away today, I broke it off with her 2 weeks ago, had her move out of the pack house and into a small cottage. She was livid, called me everything under the moon and I have no idea what some of them even meant. She keeps coming back though, her outfits skimpier and skimpier, barely covering any of her private bits, soon she’ll be walking around naked, and for shifters that’s not a huge deal after shifting, but we don’t normally walk around that way.The guards at the gate let me know that Former Alpha Braddock of the Crescent Moon pack is entering our territory, and I walk to the doors of the pack house. I stand there and watch as a brand new SUV rolls up and he steps out of the driver’s side and rounds the car and opens t
I return to the pack house and sit in my office going over the financial reports from our diversified business as a hard knock hits my door. I lean back in my chair and call out, “come on in Dad.”He opens the door and smiles widely at me, “seems someone’s mate is calling for help, couldn’t be a better time.” He sits in the chair opposite me and chuckles, “yours.”My eyes widen at him, “Alpha Christov called you for help with what?”His brow arches, “probably you,” he waves his hand dismissively, “doesn’t matter as long as I get to sit down and talk to him, assess him,” he shrugs, “also gets me inside his pack, perhaps I can see if something is amiss.”I lean back in my chair and look at him, “I don’t think he’s the one dad, he may be a lot of things, arrogant, rude, obnoxious and self-centered, but he doesn’t strike me as the type to deal with pedophilia in any manner.” I stand and walk over to the window, “from all accounts he's not flashy, this business is swimming in money," th
My mother was surprised when I told her I needed her, I'm 30 and haven't needed her for a while now, but this bond with Abigail has me baffled. The first thing she told me was to get rid of Sasha and that I should be ashamed that I hadn't already and was surprised that as an Alpha my mate hadn't rejected me because of it. My mother is strong, she raised us right, but we sometimes forget how to be the men she raised and made me very aware of that particular fact, "you we're raised better than to act like you have no sense."I’ve missed seeing Abigail every time I have arrived at the construction site, either she has just left or had been there hours prior. Today when I pulled up, her purple jeep is parked in the lot, I grabbed the dozen roses I bought and put them on the driver’s seat of her jeep. I smile as I turn to head for the office, I take two strides and see her coming down the stairs with her hard hat under her arm. She’s breathtakingly beautiful and a genuine smile curls
I’ve managed to avoid Christov for 3 weeks, I go to the job site daily, but at different times, so that the workers have no idea when I will arrive and neither do any of the other Alpha’s.Today I’m going with Beta Josh, I love my cousin, but he can be a royal pain in the ass when it comes to me, he’s extremely protective, which is his job but because he’s family he can be over the top with it. I step out of the car and head for the small trailer they call an office, I knock and enter only to find Alpha Sebastian there with the supervisor. I smile at the two, “good afternoon, how are things going today, Ralph?”Ralph is human as most of the workers on this job site, since our business is in the human’s city it just seemed right to use them, I guess. Ralph smiles at me, “Miss Abigail, everything is running as you expected,” he stands and offers me his seat, which I decline with a head shake. He continues, “the aquarium is being installed right now, would you like to take a look.”
I sit in my car outside the pack house, my knuckles white as I grip the steering wheel, I should go to her pack, talk to her, see what is going on in that beautiful head of hers. A knock on my window brings me back to reality, I look out and see Beta Charles. I sigh heavily and open the door and get out, “what’s going on?”He chuckles, “just wondering how long you planned on sitting in your car Alpha Christov, you’ve been here 30 minutes already?”I furrow my brows at him and slam the door, brush by him and head for my office, he follows in silence. I drop in my chair and glare at him, “what?”He shuts the door and sits opposite me, “Alpha Christov, what’s going on with you, ever since yesterday, you’ve been acting,” he rubs the back of his neck, “different.”I threw my head back and shut my eyes, her face appears every time I do and now it’s irritating me, she should want me as bad as I want her, and the feeling is only growing stronger the further apart we are. I tilt my head do
Momma wraps her arms around me as I get out of the car and walks with me to the garden, we sit on the blanket she has already splayed out on the ground and a basket sits on top of it. We sit and she looks at me, “what happened Abigail?”I blink back the tears that are stinging the backs of my eyes, “it snapped into place right before I was getting into the car.”She bites her bottom lip, her eyes soften and she speaks calmly, “I know you didn’t want it to happen before we knew for sure if he is the one that it behind the pup abduction ring, but now it has happened what do you want to do?”The shock of her questions, dries any tears that were threatening me a second ago, “what do you mean, he is one of the people we think could be the head of all this, you think that I would jeapordize myself to be with him and then find out he is the one.”She nods, “okay and if he’s not the one and totally innocent of this entire disgusting mess, then what, you said he has a chosen Luna already.”I
I get in the car and slam my fist into the dashboard, “AepbMo,” (shit) I look in the backseat and frown, I had it planned out, I reach over the seat and grab the bouquet of red long stem roses, open the window and throw them out it. I shake my head; I don’t know what I was thinking. Boris laughs, “you were thinking she would be alone, and you would be able to get some alone time,” he snickers. I shake my head, she’s too fucking beautiful, I throw my head back and close my eyes. The entire morning replays in my mind, from the time she jumped out of that SUV, my heart was racing. I watched her every stride, her long legs, in those tight jeans, her jacket hugging her hips and her breasts bouncing with every step, a few of her long black curls bouncing around her face. I shake my head, those pink lips curling into a beautiful smile as she spoke. Then fucking Sebastian has to flirt with her and fuck me if she didn’t flirt right back, like a dagger to my chest, I couldn’t help but gro
I stand behind my Alpha as she goes over everything with the supervisor and the engineer while Alpha Christov is nearly drooling over her. She's quick to ensure that these men do not take her lightly and stands her ground as she goes over each detail that she wants changed her way. I bite my lower lip so I don't laugh as she schools the older men in their chosen fields, she may be young but your the fool if you underestimate her. I walk behind her as we exit the small site trailer, and she removes her jacket, I snicker as I see Alpha Christov adjust his apparent hardon and a few of the construction workers eye her up and down and he notices. She sighs, “fucking buns don’t stay up,” she hands me her jacket and now I walk at her side as she pulls her hair back up to put it back in a bun and that’s when I hear a growl. She spins and I shout, “Fuck! Alpha NO.” I watch as she freezes in her spot, their eyes are locked to each other’s and I hear her groan, “ah fuck.”His thick Russian
I wake up feeling refreshed, jump in the shower and throw on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a camo tank top and a jean jacket over it with my tan hiking boots. I pull my hair up in a messy bun, knowing it won’t stay long, these curls have a mind of their own. I skip makeup because hey that’s just who I am, I’m not a fashionista or a cover girl, I’m an Alpha and was raised to be confident in my own skin.I walk into the chaos that is my family kitchen every morning and grab a cup of coffee and a pastry. My Aunt Cynthia smiles at me, “you do have good habits,” she eyes the pastry, and I grin at her as I shove it into my mouth and wiggle my brows at her.Nonna laughs, “she buys them every day for you, just as an excuse to get her own,” she looks at Cynthia, “you taught her bad things, she should be eating healthier in the mornings.”Cynthia scoffs, “Nonna Rose, it didn’t kill me yet, she’ll survive,” she laughs as she walks over and grabs the other pastry out of the box and shoves it i
