AZURA. "Try me." His words rang in my head, and I wanted to. Somehow, I wanted to blurt it all out and have him fix it… It was weird, the way he made me feel like I could rely on him. It confused the heck out of me because I always handled everything myself. He looked so yummy in that black shirt and grey pants. His toned thighs, narrow waist and those delicious muscular biceps… This guy was born with incredible genes and those blue eyes… goddess never had I liked the colour more. But the way he was behaving was unnerving me… I could feel his anger. I just wasn’t sure if it was because I left the room, or fucked up his delta’s face, or because maybe seeing me injured pissed him off? Stop kidding yourself Azura… He marked you, rejected you, and watched you collapse before walking away… The memory felt like a harsh slap in the face, and I broke our eye contact, moving away from his touch. I pushed the painful thought away and took a deep breath. "I was in here when I heard two l
LEO. I was ready to hit the gym with Emmet once I had Corrado fed. I was already dressed in grey sweatpants, a white tank top and sneakers. He was still giving me those sad looks, and I wondered if he was just being stubborn or actually missing Azura What’s to miss anyway? An image of her, came to my mind. Pretty much a lot. Fuck that. "Want to have breakfast with Azura today?" I asked as I flipped the crepes over in the pan. His eyes widened in excitement, and he nodded. "Is she back! Yes! Let’s go!" He said, jumping off the worktop. "Hold up fast guy, we need to get your breakfast made." "Oh yes, Azura can’t cook. We must make her breakfast too, Daddy." I frowned. "She must have food at her place." "But you said I’ll have breakfast with her…" "I only cook for you." I muttered, glancing down at him, only to see the sadness in his eyes. "But this is for me." Fuck, this kid was good at emotional blackmail. "Fine." I frowned and he smiled happily, as if he hadn't just b
AZURA. The door shut behind Leo, and I let out the breath I was holding. It was weird. I didn’t know if I preferred him in the suit that he was wearing last night, his leather jacket, or in those sweatpants... Fuck, this guy was far sexier than he should even be allowed to be. I missed my own workouts, but being pregnant and with everything going on I had fallen behind. I know that training during pregnancy is fine, as long as you don’t put any frontal impact on the stomach. "Let’s eat Azura, Daddy makes the best food." Corrado declared, drawing me out of my thoughts. Leo made these… I didn’t even know what to think as I sat down, my heart still racing from the way he had brushed my arm on purpose. What does he want from me? I looked at the plate in front of me, crepes folded into triangles drizzled with Nutella, a dusting of icing sugar, and strawberries on top. So aesthetically pleasing. This plate looked almost as good as Leo did. Almost. "Oh, it looks very yummy!" I exclai
AZURA. "I meant in a fight." I muttered. He raised his eyebrow. "That’s what I meant." He remarked. Wait no he… "Is your mind always in the gutter or do I simply get to you?" Of course, you do. You damn annoying Rossi. "Don’t get so full of yourself." I scoffed. "Am I wrong?" "If I want my mind to be in the damn gutter, I have every right to keep it there. I don’t need anyone’s approval." I retorted, annoyed when he caged me between the worktop once more. "Even if it involves me?" "Yes, because it's my mind, so whether I imagine you naked, or in a pair of neon pink boxers, that’s my mind, my choice." "Oh? So if I imagine you naked, that’s totally ok?" "Why, do you?" I challenged. He didn’t reply, his eyes trailing over me before they slowly flicked up to meet mine, and I knew I had gotten my answer. I saw him swallow, his eyes darkening when they skimmed to my lips. My entire body was reacting to his closeness. Even with the bond that was hanging by only a thread, only in
LEO. We were sitting in the cinema, watching a kid’s movie, but I could tell Corrado wasn’t enjoying it as much, as he was enjoying watching me with a huge smile on his face. I felt fucking bad, I was gone so often that he was regularly left without even seeing me on some days. "Not enjoying the movie?" I asked, looking down at him. He shook his head. "No, I love it! I'm loving the movie because Daddy came with me." He smiled and I leaned down, cupping the back of his head, placing a kiss on his forehead. "Me too. It may be boring, but I like that we get this time, you know." I remarked, adjusting his mini popcorn tray in his lap. "Thank you, Daddy." I gave him a wink before glancing at my phone. Azura hadn’t left her room, which I was relieved about, but I couldn’t get what happened earlier out of my fucking mind. She was still hurting from all the shit I did to her… But she didn’t get what I had meant, I regretted marking her because of my limited time… I know Jackie has told
LEO. "Your baby won’t die, not on my fucking watch." I promised her, my mind racing as I tried to think of the best course of action. She was looking at me with her eyes flickering from silver to blue, her heart thundering as she clutched her stomach. Her lips parted, but she was unable to put two words together. I knew my medical shit… Although werewolves could take a hell of a lot more than a human, the trauma of his kick could have damaged the placenta. "You are going to be ok." I murmured, lifting her carefully into my arms. Her heart was racing, her entire body shaking, and I had never fucking seen her look so vulnerable. You fucking will be ok. ‘I need our top gynaecologist ready to check on a patient with blunt force trauma to her abdomen.’ I said through the link, the urgency in my voice crystal clear. I ran from the apartment to the lift. ‘Winona I need you to go down through my office to my underground quarters. Just go through my office, I’ll open the entrance for y
AZURA. Everything was a blur... Fear, horror, panic. Leo. I didn’t know how, but I wanted him to fix this. He seemed to be the type to always know what to do. I was always strong and didn’t need anyone, but was it weird that he gave me a sense of strength and safety. When he took back his rejection, I felt my wolf come to life in a way, feeling a cool wave wash over me… Then when he told me to mark him… I knew it was for this baby, and that’s all that mattered to me. Our baby deserved to live. The strength I had felt. The pain in my stomach had subsided, and then whatever he had injected into me, seemed to work. I had felt a similar sensation to how it felt when Kiara healed me in the past. A strong surge of coolness washed over me. He looked guilty, the worry in his eyes so raw and intense that I didn’t know what to say. The way his hand rested protectively on top of mine on my stomach… I was about to say something when Kiara had come, but when she tried to heal me… nothing
AZURA. I had looked in the mirror ten times before convincing myself that the shorts and sports bra were totally ok to go out in. I put on Kiara’s strappy black heels, not wanting to rummage in the bag that had been retrieved from my apartment, in case Kia got disturbed. Damn, I loved this woman’s heel collection… Last year I had liked a pair of snakeskin knee-high boots of hers, and she had told me I could keep them. Selfless as always. After zipping them up, I made my way to the door, just when I saw my phone screen light up. I was sure it was from Sky, she was the only one up at this time, but I wasn’t going to cross the room when I had just reached the door. I’ll get back to her later. I slipped out of the room silently, making my way down the dimly lit hallway, tip-toeing down the stairs. I could see the light in the lounge was still on. Were Marcel and Al still awake? Ok… I don’t want them to hear me leaving. Wait, Al has like supersonic hearing; he’ll know either way, and
KAREENA. “Mm?” I ask, my eyes closed. We didn’t sleep, and morning has arrived, but even now, I don’t want to sleep… I’m exhausted, but at some point, we began talking… too exhausted to make love any longer, but neither of us wanted to sleep. For the first time, we were so open; it felt beautiful. This night was beautiful. Goddess, he smells so good. His arm is under my head as we lay naked on the rug on the floor. I feel so damn achy but even now his naked body against mine is messing with me but even more than that, I am content. “Favourite colour?” he murmurs, his fingers combing through my hair soothingly. “White and blue… yours?” “Possibly grey or black.” His lips graze down my shoulder and a soft sigh escapes me. “Your dream?” I ask, my eyes fluttering open and I gaze into his eyes. He’s looking directly at me. His gorgeous green eyes are crystal clear, and I reach up, brushing my fingers through his hair. “To live a life with my sexy mate, my friends who are my family
JAX. I unbuckle my belt, pulling it out as I roll it up in my hands before tossing it aside. Some other day, I’m going to tie her up… She sits up, disobeying me as she drops to her knees, looking up at me. “I want a taste…” she whispers, making me throb hard, and I decide to forgive her this time. Fuck, she’s fine. “But I never said you can stop touching yourself,” I whisper dangerously. “You can punish me later,” she replies sassily, as she unzips my pants. The smell of her arousal is fucking driving me nuts and the way she’s looking at me with those sultry lust-filled eyes makes me want to fuck her hard. “I think I can let it slide this time,” I reply huskily. The moment her hand touches my cock, pleasure shoots through me like a fucking jolt and it’s way fucking better than imagining her stroking me. Fuck, it’s been way too long… and it makes it all the more better that it’s her. She lets go, allowing herself to pull my pants down, and I watch her intently as she pushes
KAREENA. “Real smooth tiger,” I say, rolling my eyes, but no… tell me, what’s on your mind? You seem quiet today,” I ask. There’s something wrong. I see the way he looks down for a moment before he moves back and glances at the kitchen. “Want some coffee?” “Sure,” I say. We walk to the kitchen, and he motions to the table, telling me to sit down. I perch against it, watching him make the coffee. Iced for me. I love how he knows my pattern. After I have just eaten, I’d usually go for iced and late in the night it would be normal. “How did it go up north?” I ask, breaking the silence. He tenses and I frown. For a moment, the craziest thought enters my mind and I close my eyes, almost smiling at how ridiculous that thought was. Why did I suddenly think there was another woman like he was nervous because something happened on his work trip? He isn’t mine for me to even think that way. Sure, that hurts, but I don’t have any claim on him when all I’ve done is keep him at arm’s len
KAREENA. My heart is pounding violently, almost as if it will jump out of my chest, and I turn away from the window. He can see me… Just the thought sends my entire body into a frenzy. I’m nervous, it’s weird how I can feel so but I don’t try to cover myself as I continue to towel my hair. He’s still watching me, his gaze burning into my back and only when I’m done drying myself do I walk away from the window. He wants me… just as I want him… that’s something I can no longer deny. Even if it does feel crazily surreal to me. It is the truth. Tilting my head, I look at the white and nude bustier I had chosen to wear… It’s a little… daring. I pull on some sexy panties before I squeeze into my skinny jeans and put on the top. Ok, so I look like I’m an open invitation saying ‘come get me’, which I kind of am right now. I pull it up over my breast. I pull my brown hair up in a messy yet sexy bun and quickly apply some makeup. Once my nails are painted, I look at the green shade I ha
JAX. Three nights. We were away from the pack for three nights. It was fucking worse than we thought, up here in the Scottish Highlands. There’s no sign of an enemy but this one was possibly the biggest attack if you can call it that. Leaving so many homeless. We had managed to rehouse them and tried to secure the area, or at least hoped it was secured. With no proof or any sign of the enemy, it is hard to pinpoint who or what they are. But something Leo said still stuck in my mind. It’s looking for something or someone. Leo had no proof of that, but if Leo says something, it is most likely true since he has a knack for these things. Alejandro was true to his words, he’s pushing Leo to handle things and I know that despite Leo wanting to remain as only the King in the Shadows, he doesn’t really have a choice but to step out there and do what he needs to. But it also means a lot of responsibility for all of us. Leo as the next King, means that the Sangue Pack will be brought i
JAX. “I…” There’s nothing for her to say. Her heart is pounding, her breasts rising and falling. You don’t get to look like the fucking embodiment of sex itself and then act damn innocent. Fuck, this woman grates on every fucking nerve of mine with her attitude, yet at the same time, I want to pin her up against this wall and fuck her hard… Our bodies are pressed against one another’s, yet there’s one way I can think of to get closer and just the thought of burying myself in her pussy makes me throb hard. I skim over those pouty lips of hers that have always been something I’ve noticed… A comment I made to Shane back when he found out she was his mate returns to me, only now I mean it in such a fucking different way… ‘She’s pretty. She’s got nice lips.’ I remember winking at him teasingly… That was an understatement… no wonder he had smiled the way he had… A flare of possessiveness rushes through me, and Hayden and her dancing return to me. Since she’s got here, she’s been t
KAREENA. “Don’t fucking touch her!” He snarls, the anger in his voice shakes me and I look around, my heart thundering as he punches Hayden across the face. I flinch when I hear something break. “Jax!” Ace grabs him. Fuck, this is my fault. ‘Jax, leave it, I was handling…’ I trail off when he turns his eyes on me. “Yeah, I could clearly see how you were handling it,” he says icily. He pulls free from his friends shoving past them and walks out. Why do I feel so bad? I’m about to go after him when Leo takes hold of my wrist. ‘A fucking word first,” he says quietly through the mind link. Great. Just fucking great. I look the way Jax has gone, spotting Jin and Dan going after him and close my eyes before I take a deep breath. Shit. He looks down at Hayden before he bends down and pulls him to his feet. “Alpha I’m sorry, I was just- they aren’t together I didn’t think-” Hayden is cut off. “Regardless of that shit, you should not have pushed the boundaries she was fucking set
KAREENA. Possessive much? “I won’t be the only woman in a dress tonight, Jax. No one is going to be looking at me.” I shake my head as I make my way over to his car. The moment I went into heat is replaying in my mind and I don’t think being in close proximity to him is wise… I’m checking him out, I’m too aware of his scent and the fact he’s watching me is messing with my head. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone tonight. I reach for the passenger door, only for Jax’s arm to brush mine as he beats me to it and opens the door for me instead. I look over my shoulder at him, my heart hammering when his green eyes dip to my lips. I turn away first, during my heat all I could think about was him... I’m falling… I know that… and it terrifies me. “Thanks,” I say, allowing him to open the door, for a moment he places his hand on my waist sending a ripple of pleasure through me. Shit… It’s different, it’s not just the bond. I turn suddenly, totally miscalculating just how close h
KAREENA. He nuzzles his nose into my neck, sending sizzling pleasure through me. Oh, fuck, he smells so good and feels even better…. The bond mixed with the heat is messing with his head and as much as his touch is like a cooling balm to my burning skin, I can’t take advantage of him… We have never been in each other’s presence in my moments of heat, but now… now he’s here and my body craves for him, far more than I expected. I want him to fuck me right here and right now, but I’m terrified. I gasp as another bout of pain rips through me and if he was not holding me, I’d fall to the ground. One of his hands is still tangled in my hair, the other runs up my back before it runs down my back and grabs my ass squeezing it. Pleasure jolts through me and I almost moan loudly. He pulls me closer as if he wants to feel every part of me against him, and I can feel his hard shaft against my stomach. “Fuck,” I moan, running my hand down his stomach. His scent and the heat of his body a
