“Sierra,” I grumbled as my hand traced over her stomach and down her side.“What?” she whispered.“Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?” I asked her my hand moving over her thigh.“Body heat remember,” she said and goosebumps raised over her skin where I was touching her.“You’re killing me,” I said under my breath as she pressed her ass against me and moved slightly.“Someone’s not complaining,” she said.“If you don’t stop moving against me like that…” I said as she did it again and laughed softly.I flipped her over onto her back and pressed my knees in between her legs as I hovered on top of her. I could see her clearly and she placed her hands over her breasts to cover herself up. I pinned her hands on either side of her head and kissed her.She kissed me back and wriggled her hands loose, they instantly went to my boxers pushing them down. I pressed myself against her and I could feel she was just as aroused as I was. No words were needed because she pulled me closer yet again an
“Clowder members, warriors, Enforcers, this day will be marked as one of great sorrow. We all felt the bond snap when Alpha Damon died. As next in line I vow to avenge his death, I won’t stop until the ones responsible are dead,” I said.“Alpha Griffin, we should talk in private first,” Connor said as he looked at me.“I won’t be taking the Alpha seat and I hand my seat over to Connor, who has served you a multitude of years, both as Beta and as stand-in Alpha,” I said as Connor pushed me back and glared at me.“Griffin, no,” he said.“Carry on with your normal duties, we will hold the funeral ceremony once I have retrieved my father’s body,” I said.The downstairs area cleared after a few minutes. The clowder was grieving, as was I. Connor followed me through to Damon’s office and I sat down on the couch, I couldn’t take his seat behind the desk. It didn’t feel right.“What the fuck are you doing?” Connor asked me loudly.“I won’t take over as Alpha knowing full well that I won’t sur
“Hello Samantha,” I said as I stood in front of her cell in the dungeon.She lifted her head but I felt nothing as I looked at her. She had lost weight, dark circles were visible under her eyes, her hair was dirty and matted against her head and she smelled. Her father wasn’t any better off but I had kept them each at one end of the cells, far away from each other.“Griffin?” she asked questioningly as she pushed herself up and stumbled holding on to the bars of her cell.“I hope you’ve found your accommodations suitable,” I said.“Griffin, I can explain,” she said as she looked at me.“Please do,” I said as I pulled up a chair and sat down.“I didn’t have a choice, my father…” she began and coughed violently as she took a deep breath.“Your father abandoned you! I saved you!” I yelled at her.“He was out making the world a better place!” she yelled back.“I have to commend you though, you had me completely fooled, I would’ve done anything for you,” I said to her.“It wasn’t all a lie
I opened the bedroom door just as Sierra stepped out of the dressing room. She looked me up and down and I looked down at my jeans and boots and sat down on the bed.“Where are you going?” I asked her.“Griffin,” she said and narrowed her eyes at me.“I’m kidding! Give me ten minutes,” I said to her as I headed to the bathroom and put the shower on.I showered and pulled on dress pants and shoes with a shirt and a jacket. Sierra crossed her arms over her chest and pointed her finger towards the dressing room. I sighed and grabbed a tie, she stood next to me and smiled as I put it on.“Better?” I asked her.“Slightly,” she said and laughed as I kissed her neck.“Stop trying to seduce me, we have a reservation,” I said to her and hurried out of the dressing room as she tried to slap me on the back.“Now I understand your mother’s need for a taser,” she said and laughed at the horrified look on my face.I took her hand and kissed it lightly before leading her out of our room. I hadn't be
I was busy working in the office when my phone pinged with an incoming text. For the past week I had been trying to ignore the nightmares. I would dream of Damon being tortured and executed and my dreams were probably worse than what they actually did to him.I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling though that I was missing something. I was still angry over his execution but my hands were cut off, there was literally nothing I could do. Damon had contacted the Council and gone in to see them on his own.Connor and Jett only realized what was happening after Damon had arrived in New York. He had struck a deal with Chester and given the Alpha command to Connor and Jett that they weren’t allowed to contact me before everything was done.The official report I received stated that Damon had pled guilty to waging war with the Hastings pack without lodging the claim with the Council. He had taken full responsibility as the Alpha of the clowder and punishments for Enforcers were always worse tha
I mounted the small wireless camera in a tree on the side of their yard that had a view of the front door and logged into it via my phone. I walked back towards the dock and then followed the scents of baked goods until I reached the diner.I took a table in the back and ordered coffee as I watched the feed on my phone. Two cups of coffee later I watched as Chester kissed his wife goodbye and climbed in his car. She was still in pajamas and I hoped that she didn’t stay in the house all day.I ordered breakfast and twenty minutes later his wife, Leila, closed the front door behind her and walked towards the garage. It opened and her car reversed out as she drove down the street. I had placed two tracking devices on the cars in the garage and I could see that Chester was headed to the Council Building in the city.Leila’s car stopped in front of the spa and I quickly paid my bill and walked back over to their house. The streets were quiet and I slipped back into the foliage that run the
“Hello Kylie,” I said when her eyes fully opened.I was in my shed in Greenville and Kylie was lying on the stainless steel table, strapped in securely. She had been easy to take, I had injected her with a wolfsbane mixture while she was asleep, picked her up and ported with her and it had taken her three hours to wake up.“Where am I?” she asked as she pulled against the restraints.“My name is Griffin Woods and you were the last person to see my father, Damon, alive. I want answers,” I said to her.“You’re going to kill me, aren’t you?” she asked.“That depends on what you have to say,” I said to her, “we can do it the easy way or the hard way.”“The Alpha was in the recovery room, I had just checked his vitals when council member Grant entered the room. He was still in there when I left, that was the last time I saw him alive,” she said and gulped nervously.“His ID card doesn’t show that he entered the recovery room,” I said to her.“The door was open, he didn’t need to swipe his
I wanted to go after Chester immediately but I also wanted to kill the other men involved. They all covered it up and they carried just as much blame as Chester did, I didn’t care what he had on them, what he was blackmailing them with, they sanctioned my father’s murder.“What’s wrong?” Sierra asked as she turned towards me. It was dark in our room and I couldn’t sleep. I had been lying awake for hours now.“It’s nothing, work’s just been crazy,” I said to her.“I hope the crazy will stop before Sunday, you need a break and I plan on making you take that break right after our ceremony,” she said and snuggled closer to me.“A break huh, where are you planning on taking me?” I asked her.“Well I wanted to keep to tradition and I spoke to Connor and he suggested St. Barts,” she said and I laughed.“St. Barts landed my father in jail,” I said.“Really? What happened in St. Barts?” she asked me.“My mom got pregnant with me in St. Barts and Damon marked her without her knowledge, she was
