Thank you for reading ♥️
LEO. I agreed… I don’t know why I fucking did… I just knew that she wouldn’t betray my trust or mention it to others. She might be crazy, but she’s my type of crazy, and the one I know who wouldn’t do anything to hurt anyone on purpose, in serious matters anyway. I mean I wouldn’t put it past her to try to slit my throat in my sleep if I pissed her off but at the same time, I knew the type of things she’d keep quiet… I knew if she knew about the fact I'm dying, she would try to do shit even if it meant breaking a promise. But something like Corrado’s truth… she wouldn’t tell anyone. Even Marcel didn’t know and regardless of that truth, it changed nothing. I cleared the table off, taking a bottle of whiskey and two glasses to the lounge area. As a werewolf, I know drinking did nothing to a pregnant woman, so a glass or two won't fucking hurt. Why did this feel too intimate? I sighed remembering the vague memory from long ago, ‘Thank you, Weo’ back at Alejandro’s wedding… Her shoe h
LEO. "Leo…" She walked over to me, and the moment she touched my back, sending a rush of sparks through me, I felt a wave of calmness wash over me. The fucking bond. "I didn’t mean it in a bad way. You know, growing up, everyone called me a freak because I was born with the help of magic, so they found the word fitting. There were even a few people in the pack who refused to acknowledge me because of it. Heck, some still exist… as I got older, I stopped telling my family because I didn’t want to always cause them trouble…" She sighed, and I did my best to remain calm. Flaring anger rushed through me, and I wondered if that was why she was so cheerful because inside she was dealing with a lot. "I know you always say I'm the daughter of an Elite. Although my life is nowhere as harrowing as I'm sure yours has been, I just wanted to let you know that things aren’t always what they seem." She moved in front of me, her hand running along my waist, before she placed it on my chest. "It’s
AZURA. The moment he bit down on my neck, I was gone, lost in the unimaginable pleasure that only he could give me. I turned my head, giving him better access to the crook of my neck. A low growl of approval left him, and I shivered in delight when his tongue ran along my neck once more. Oh fuck… He sucked on my neck, hard, making my entire body explode with need and pleasure. I turned in his arms only for his hand to run over my stomach, the other hand brushing my hair back as he continued to pepper my neck with rough, sensual kisses. His dick was hard in his pants, pressing against me. Damn, I wanted our clothes gone. Goddess… I wished I could stay in his arms forever… I felt protected. I leaned into him, relishing in his touch. Every touch, every caress… from the brush of his hair against my cheek, or the way his heart was beating in his chest against my back, or the way his lips felt against my shoulder… It was perfection. I don’t know what we were, or if this was really h
LEO. It had shaken me when she had unknowingly let her barrier down. The sheer level of desperation, fear, pain, and agony when I rejected her and then walked away from her hit me hard… So fucking hard. I have not felt such an intense level of pain since I was a child, but knowing this was her feelings, made it a thousand fucking times harder. She had been unable to breathe as she clutched at her neck, trying to survive the violent pain that had torn through her. It fucking killed me to see things from her eyes, making me hate the fact that I did that to her. Seeing her crumble to the floor, as she watched me walk away was fucking ruthless. I had broken her and weakened her wolf right after taking everything from her… I had done the very same thing Rayhan had.I promised her something only to rip it away from her the very next. The heartbreak, the fear, and the sadness as she realised what happened consumed me with guilt. The vulnerability as she realised that she wasn’t wanted, wo
AZURA. I hadn’t even gotten to the entrance to the motel when the phone beeped, and I looked down at it. Judah. I felt sick and my heart was thumping before I even clicked on it. I hated being around him. I hated how whenever he was near, something always went wrong. I just wished he was gone from my life for good, or better yet, I wish I had never fucking met him. I looked down at my phone, frowning at the message. ‘I want you to take out any weapons you are carrying, and toss them in that trash bin. Then make your way around the back and up onto the rooftop. Leave the phone there too. Don’t play smart, I'm watching you my Pet.’ ‘He’s here.’ I said to Leo through the link, trying to sound as normal as possible. I hated him with a passion. I was glad Leo was near… I felt a little at ease. ‘Stay calm, I’m right there with you.’ His voice was powerful, calm, and confident which equates to sexy-as-hell. But that sick feeling only grew with each step, as I took out the dagger th
LEO. "So that’s him?" Song asked Azura quietly. "Yup." "Ok Azura, he’s so-" "Don’t, I bet his big ears are listening in." Azura muttered. I was outside the hospital room whilst they talked inside quietly, but yeah I could still hear and see them with the door slightly ajar. Azura was sitting next to her friend with her arms around her. We had gotten back pretty fast, I had Azura with me and I knew instantly why she had felt that pain. In the fight, I had overexerted myself, and she had felt it… Luckily, she had regained consciousness pretty quickly before we even got back to pack grounds. Since then, she has been watching me intently, almost calculatingly… I had to fucking make sure that didn’t happen again, for her sake… But then what about overall? The bottom line was I'm fucking dying, and that pain would only increase as the days and weeks passed by. The doctor had checked her over and she was fine. As for her friend, she had been tended to and was in good care, although
LEO. I had gotten a few hours of sleep in before going for a light run, making sure not to overexert myself, especially since I did not want Azura to feel my pain. I had returned home, showered and dressed before dealing with a little paperwork that I was falling behind on. It wasn’t long after that Corrado had woken up, and I had stopped working to spend a little time with him. We were now seated opposite one another, with a breakfast prepared by Rosaline in front of us. Corrado ate silently, a deep frown on his face. The first thing he had done when he ran out of his bedroom was ask where Azura was... not hiding the fact that he had expected her to be here. Seriously, this kid. He had then become serious, frowning and watching me like a father would their disobedient pup. "What did you do Daddy?" He asked suddenly, placing his spoon down. I raised an eyebrow while drinking my coffee. "What did I do?" "Why isn't Azura here? Did you make her angry?" He asked, looking at me wi
LEO. Two hours had passed, and I was working with Ace, Jax, Dan and Li Sheng. There was so much I fucking needed to deal with, and although it felt like everything was fucking spiralling out of control, I would fix it. Emmet had grabbed the chair when I had been distracted by the sheer shock of his revelation. He had slammed it into my back with such force, the leg had ripped through my clothes and back. But I had been far too wrapped up in my own thoughts to realise what had happened, until he was dragged away to his cell, and my men had begun worrying over me. The dull ache remained in my back, but it was healing quickly enough. I had had it cleaned and bandaged by one of the guards, not wanting to waste time by going down to the hospital. "Alright, I need to get going. Start the preparations, Ace you need to get to Web. Dan, check Emmet’s laptop and office, see if you can find any bank statements or if he has any accounts that we don’t know of, or in any other names. Li Sheng ha
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
