VAEGONTonight and meeting my soulmate for the first time has been mind-blowing. I’ve never been so infatuated with anyone in my life. Yeah, I’ve been horny and have lusted after girls. When I was in high school, my hormones were going crazy, just like any normal teenager. Oh man, those hormones were nuts when I first shifted, and Vane was always on the prowl for our mate. Sometimes I was like, screw it. I kept telling myself I would just hook up with the girls who were always around to satisfy my sexual needs. But I never ended up fucking any of them. Every time that thought crossed my mind, I would haul ass home and jerk off.My sisters have taught me many lessons about how a man is to treat their fated mate. I am grateful for their guidance and wisdom in matters of the heart. Xeraphina is irreplaceable, so waiting for my soulmate was the right choice. With my mother and sisters’ support, I have become a gentleman ready to spoil my soulmate. While guys may not always appreciate roma
VAEGON As Xeraphina and I climb into her truck, a surge of anxiety floods through my body, tightening my chest and quickening my heartbeat. The metallic scent of the engine fills the air as Xeraphina revs it up, the roar of the powerful machine echoing in my ears. The weight of impending loss hangs heavy in the truck, intensifying the bitter taste of desperation in my mouth. Cassius, that vile asshole, threatens to snatch Xeraphina away from me, and I won’t let that happen.“Xeraphina, I know you told me I have nothing to worry about. But please don’t go to Cassius. Stay with me tonight. The lodge’s beds are so comfortable. I promise to let you sleep. I won’t touch you beyond cuddling you.”“If it weren’t because I promised Cassius I would go to him, I would stay with you, Vaegon. It’s best I go see what’s gotten him all riled up. He said it was important, and he seemed anxious. I need to make sure he’s okay and not on the verge of committing suicide or something. Cassius hurt me, bu
VAEGONI feel disoriented, like the world has shifted off balance. The overwhelming feeling of uncertainty clouds my emotions, and a surge of betrayal and anger courses through me as I realize Cassius was in Xeraphina’s room last night. A mixture of frustration and resentment causes my heart to pound in my chest. The person who should have spent the entire night with Xeraphina was me. Despite Cassius betraying her, she still allowed him the privilege of sleeping with her. If he fucked her, I’m going to kill his ass!‘How long have we been here, Vane?!’‘As soon as you fell asleep, I assumed control. We walked in human form for several miles into the forest until I felt it was safe enough to shift. We’ve been asleep here in front of her door all night. Which means they were inside before we arrived.’‘She promised we had nothing to worry about!’‘Shut up, Vaegon, so I can rip this guy to shreds!’Vane rises to his feet, and even in his wolf form, he looms over Xeraphina by a few inches
XERAPHINAAs my phone alarm goes off, I groan, feeling the exhaustion coursing through my whole body. It’s clear I could use a day to relax and unwind. Blinking rapidly, I reach for my phone, determined to silence the annoying alarm. Suddenly, I’m pulled into a warm and comforting embrace, strong arms encircling me. In that moment, my mind struggles to process and remember the events of the previous night, particularly the memory of falling asleep with Cassius by my side. The unique scent that emanates from him enters my nostrils, prompting a contented hum to escape my lips.“Good morning, my queen.” Glancing up, I see Cassius’s eyes are swirling with gold, showing that his wolf Talon is at the forefront. Xariah comes to the forefront of my mind and she and Talon speak for a few moments before retreating and letting Cassius and me have full control.“It’s going to be a long day. Are you sure you are up to it, Xeraphina? You need your rest. I don’t mind doing this thing with the lawyer
CASSIUSAfter Charity kicked me out of the house, I made a wise decision and withdrew most of our funds from our joint account. I deposited that money and my winnings from bull and bronc riding into my parents’ account, which they had opened for me when I was born. To appease Charity, I had left a small amount of money in our joint account. I didn’t want her to go feral. But now, as I look at what remains, it doesn’t surprise me that only five dollars are left in the account.“Let’s close that account. There is no point in keeping it open, as I only set it up when we got married to make Charity happy.”“I’ll need to contact her since both your names are on the account.”“Never mind then. I’ll just use that account to wire the three thousand a month I’ll owe her from here on out. How much money do I have in my savings account?”“I’ll print it out for you, sir. But you have close to seven hundred million dollars, sir.”“I need a check for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Make it
CASSIUS I arrived alone in my truck, leaving Xachariah and the Silver Crescent Moon warriors a couple of miles behind. As I spotted the group of men gathered around Charity, I contacted Xachariah. Within minutes, he arrived with reinforcements. It’s clear that we’re outnumbered by the Howler Moon’s Pack. We have confirmed Alpha Joseph’s suspicions that Charity is not trustworthy. Now, we face over fifty warriors from the Howler Moon Pack, while our group of twenty stands ready to confront them. Approaching Charity, I notice her arms crossed over her chest, tapping her long, manicured fingernails on her arm, and a smirk on her face.“You were told to come alone, Charity.”“Well,” she says, smirking and rolling her eyes. “We all know how I like drama. Now hand over the check and the documents and let’s get this shit over with. I’m on the verge of going into heat and my wolf is desperate to be marked by our mate.”“I have a question for you first, Charity.”She rolls her eyes and glance
VAEGONVane sprinted through the forest with lightning speed, him unleashing all the built-up anger and desire to kill Cassius. However, the faster he ran, the more enraged we both became. Our shared consciousness echoed with shouts, urging us to turn back and track down that bastard.Who knows how long we’ve been sprinting through the dense forest, the towering trees casting dancing shadows on the ground? Vane halts at the glistening stream, its gentle babbling filling the air, calming our hatred. He bends down to drink from the stream, the water refreshing and cool against his parched tongue. Feeling a desperate need to cool off the searing heat radiating from his enraged body, he plunges into the crystal clear waters. As the coolness envelops him, he realizes the depths are greater than expected, and the sensation of weightlessness calms our turbulent emotions.After thrashing around in the cool water for a while, he trudges out of the stream, refreshed and wanting to hunt.‘We sho
VAEGON“It’s Charity who has caused all this. You shouldn’t be so angry with Cassius. He’s just having a hard time, coming to terms with everything,” Xeraphina says. The fact she's putting the blame onto someone else other than Cassius makes my blood boil. I can't take this anymore.That’s when I pause my actions, clutching a massive chunk of intestines in my hands as I glance over at Xeraphina. “Don’t sit there and tell me I shouldn’t be angry, Xeraphina. He’s a man, holding a high rank within the pack as a beta male. It is not fair to blame his ex-wife for everything he has done. He made the choice to marry her and allowed all this chaos to unfold within the pack, all while knowing you were his true mate. He needs to face the consequences of his actions.”Xeraphina winces, affected by my harsh words. She glances out the window closest to her, squirming in her chair. “I apologize, Vaegon. You are right. I’m overwhelmed by everything that has transpired in the past few days. It’s beco
VAEGONOver the years, I have watched a lot of porn to resist fucking random girls. However, porn-stars cannot compare to Xeraphina’s stunning physique. I recall being present as our wolves mated for the first time, and the intensity of the moment caused me to climax with no physical stimulation. Now, as I stand here, I find myself on the verge of a similar reaction as I gaze in awe at her perfect body on full display before us. My arousal is clear as my erection is rock hard and pre-cum dribbles out, staining my shorts. This is the first time I have ever seen a naked woman up close. It is fantastic I waited for Xeraphina for this pleasurable experience. No other woman could ever compare.Cassius walks up, kissing Xeraphina on the cheek and a part of me wishes I could knock his ass out, but I hold myself back. It’s a good thing too, because he gestures with his hand, and links with me. ‘Pick her up and carry her back to the house, dude. Talon mated with Xariah first. So you get to mat
XERAPHINAThe drive to the tarmac feels like it’s taking forever, but I can’t contain my excitement. I can’t wait to see Tilly again and all the thrilling moments that await us during our mating ceremonies. Sitting in the car with my mother, I’m jumping in my seat. Our first stop is picking up Tilly, and then we’ll head straight to the dress shop to choose my wedding dress. Tilly has already made her selection.Mom pulls up to the tarmac. I see Tilly and Caleb kissing. Caleb’s warriors are unaware, spread out. Tilly and Caleb stop kissing, look at us, and Tilly grins. I open the car door and jump out without hesitation.“Tilly! Xeraphina!” We scream as we run towards each other. I crash into her and she embraces me, twirling me around with my feet flying in the air.“Let’s find you a dress, so we can get hitched,” Tilly says, grabbing my hand and pulling me back towards my mother’s SUV.***Tilly and mom scrunch their faces, shaking their heads in protest when I walk out of the changi
XeraphinaCassius swings the door open, revealing a food cart laden with a myriad of plates brimming with delectable Italian dishes. His enticing aroma of the ocean, intertwined with the refreshing scent of ripe watermelon and a subtle hint of rich chocolate, dances through the air, enveloping me. It stirs a mixture of excitement and hunger, causing my stomach to growl. With a mischievous chuckle, Cassius places a plate overflowing with plump raviolis onto my lap, and positions a garlic-butter toasted breadstick nearby.“Thank you so much Cassius, this is wonderful,” I say, smiling up at him. “You know the way to an Alpha-female-wolf’s heart for sure. Through her stomach.”Cassius grins down at me and places a kiss on my forehead that ignites the mate bond, and it sends a wave of tingles through me, warming my heart. “I’m going to give you some space so you can eat in peace. There are some things I need to do real quick. But I’ll be back soon.”“Are you going to the bank?”“Yes. I ran
CASSIUSXeraphina lies motionless, connected to an IV, feeding tube, and heart monitor. Vaegon and I grip her hands, waiting for her to regain consciousness. It has been three long hours since we discovered Xeraphina. The healers have determined that she has fractured vertebrae and has sustained extensive fractures throughout her body, including her neck. Xariah’s powers are too weak to heal her, and they have informed us she may not survive this horrific ordeal. All we can do now is sit by her side, filled with hope for a positive outcome.Xeraphina’s heart rate has been slow, and the healers have revived her five times. However, she always comes back to us, if you can call it that. Her parents, Vaegon and I, have decided that if her heart stops again, we will let her go. If Xariah can’t heal her, Xeraphina wouldn’t want to live in a state where she cannot function.Xeraphina’s heart rate stabilizes, and her pale complexion slowly regains its natural color. With time, the bruises on
XERAPHINAAn enchanting whisper of a woman’s voice I have never heard before penetrates my subconscious, beckoning for me to wake up. “Xeraphina. Wake up dear. We have much to discuss.” But for the life of me, I can’t pry my eyes open.“Don’t worry about anything, dear child. You almost killed yourself falling down the stairs, but I got here just in time to help you. I’ve stayed close, watching over you and your mates in case I would need to intervene,” she says, then sings once more.As she sings, her voice weaves an enchanting melody that stirs my soul. A delicate shiver travels down my spine, while a cool breeze caresses my head and torso, soothing the shooting pain that had left my body in agony.My eyes snap open, and I am engulfed in weightlessness, my body free from all the pain. As I turn my head to the right, I am captivated by the sight of a stunning woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to me. Her eyes, a mesmerizing fusion of green and blue, outshine even my own, radiatin
XERAPHINA“Don’t worry, Angel of Mine. We won’t kill each other. We’re just gonna rough each other up some,” Vaegon says, glancing over at Cassius. “Right, asshole?”“You’re still lucky I’m behind bars, fucker,” Cassius warns, ramming himself against the bars and reaching his arms out to grab Vaegon, but he steps out of reach.“Quit y’all’s shit already. You are two grown men. I’m not in the mood for this. Sleep. I need sleep,” I say, strolling away from them and walking towards Xachariah.Getting on tiptoe, I whisper into Xachariah’s ear, so Vaegon and Cassius can’t hear us with their heightened wolves’ senses. “Those two are going to kill us all. We’re all doomed.”Xachariah chuckles and shakes his head. Then does the same, whispering into my ear. “They know if they kill each other, they’ll kill you. If what your wolves are saying is true. Vaegon and Cassius would do nothing to jeopardize your life, Xeraphina,” Zachariah explains, a snarl coming from his lips when Cassius comes into
XERAPHINA Cassius’s gaze met my own, gold swirling in his irises and confusion washes over me. Then I look over at Vaegon to see gold swirling around in his irises as well. What the hell is going on here? Talon left Cassius, but he’s back now, out of nowhere; for what reason? Talon reconnecting with Cassius will make rejecting him so much more difficult now. A fresh wave of tears collect in my eyes and I reach up to swipe them away when they slip down my cheeks.Glancing at Vaegon, my voice hitches as I whisper, “Vaegon, I’m sorry, but I need you to leave, please. Cassius and I need to have a private chat.”“You can’t reject him, Xeraphina,” Vaegon states, as he glares at Cassius, growling and crossing his arms in anger.My brows furrowed, I turn to see Cassius coming closer. “What the hell are you talking about, Vaegon? I thought you of all people would be the happiest about me rejecting Cassius.”“Has Xariah not reached out to you about anything regarding the three of us?” Cassius
XERAPHINAWhen Xariah rushes into the forest, I decide to end our shared consciousness. I don’t care what Xariah does during this time. Thanks to Cassius, I’m a ball of anger, pain, and sadness. Looking back, I see if I had just kept my rejection of Cassius from the start; things would be fine. I gotta spend more quality time with Vaegon. This is something that Cassius promised me I could have, but went against his word, which isn’t fair to Vaegon.Why do I still have such powerful feelings for Cassius, despite all the harm he has caused me, my family, and our pack? Well, I guess it’s because Cassius is family, and I have always loved him. However, I can’t continue this way any longer. The recent events, like him starting a war with Charity and losing his wolf Talon, have pushed me to my breaking point. I need to let go of Cassius and move on, just as he needs to let go of me. Our relationship has become toxic.As of now, I need to focus on Vaegon. It’s not fair to him. I’ve been in a
CASSIUSMy senses come rushing back to me when Vaegon informs me about Xeraphina’s panic attack. In addition, he reveals Alpha Joseph’s plan for both Xeraphina and me to reject each other, ultimately leading to my expulsion from the pack. These words hit me with a force that I can no longer ignore. This manipulative asshole is on the verge of accomplishing everything he has desired since entering our pack, and it pisses me off.“I bet you’re fucking happy, aren’t you, asshole? You’ll have her all to yourself now.”It’s not until he calls me a fucking spoiled teenage brat that I can’t hold off my anger anymore. In my drunken catatonic state I lunge at the fucker, forgetting about the fucking jails bars between us. My head collides with the steel bars, almost knocking me out, but I shake my head, ridding the stars shooting out in my vision away.“You better be glad I’m behind bars or I would fucking kill you, fucker! She is my fucking fated mate! Mine! I’ve known her my whole fucking li
