AZURA. It is a short while later and we have finished eating, and I am sipping on a sparkling grape juice; as I look around, watching everyone. Renji is on the dance floor with Katara, who is smiling as he spins her around and tosses her up, before catching her. “Want to join us?” He offers Alessandra who is standing against a pillar, she frowns and shakes her head. “No thanks.” Ah, moody little mini-Al. I smile when Asher, who is busy talking to Carter and Ares bumps into her. Oh, he’s screwed. “Sorry.” He says turning and giving her a smile, she glares venomously at him. “Watch it.” She stalks off muttering something about hating people, and I chuckle. Alejandro’s eyes are on the poor Nicholson boy, who watches Alessandra walk off apologetically. Damon blocks Alejandro’s line of vision as he engages him smoothly in conversation. I smirk, and Leo glances at me, cocking a brow. “What’s so funny?” He asks, his knuckles running up and down my upper back. “Kids.” I say, leaning
AZURA. The dancing lasted for ages. The quintuplets, Dante, Alejandro, and Damon, all wanted a dance. My feet were sore, and I could see Leo had left the dance floor after the dance with Skyla. I saw him chatting to pack members, some of who had also approached me and welcomed me. He was now talking to Dan and Jin. “I’m glad you came.” I tell Dante, looking up at him. “Me too. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” He smiles. It hurt to know he was somehow alone… He had to stay isolated because people couldn’t cope around him. My baby kicks and I smile. “So, this baby is going to be your nephew or niece… or it can be your cousin from my side.” I scrunch my nose trying to link the connection, and Dante chuckles. “Confusing.” I sigh. “Well, regardless of all the family ties… I can sense it’s going to be strong.” He says. I tilt my head. “Don’t tell me as I want it to be a surprise, but do you know the gender?” I ask as he sways me to the music. His brows furrow a little and shakes hi
LEO. The sound and chatter from the Pack Hall soon fade away as Azura and I walk down the silent paths. It’s late and most families with children left earlier, but many were still there. The Five are right behind us, but they keep their distance, letting Azura and I have some space. I run my hand down her waist and ass before threading her fingers with mine, and I kiss her hand softly. She looks stunning as she gazes at the sky. “You’re calm.” I say quietly, observing the Goddess next to me. She looks away from the moon and smiles at me. “I was just thinking about two moons ago… It’s crazy how much life has changed in the last two months.” She murmurs, leaning her head against my shoulder. “Yeah… I never saw any of this coming. I’m fucking blessed.” I murmur. ‘Oh baby, you’re definitely blessed.’ She smirks, giving me a wink. I lean down, kissing her. ‘Obviously.’ I respond arrogantly. She pull’s me down, kissing me harder and we share a quick moment before my watch beeps. A remi
LEO. She wasn’t lying when she said she could fucking dance. The woman was fucking sexy, not to mention sizzling hot. She now has her hands on the pole, her ass sticking out as she bends down, giving me the perfect view of that ass that I want to fuck senseless. Spinning around the pole, she presses her back against it as she slides down, parting her lush thighs, before running one hand over her breast and down her stomach before she rubs her pussy. My eyes blaze and I’m already hard in my pants from just watching her. She twirls around the pole sexily, lifting herself sensually up it before she hooks her leg around the top of the pole and arches her head back, her hair cascading down her back. Her back arches and it takes my fucking all to drag my eyes from her ass and thighs. I drink my whiskey slowly, watching her. There is not one fucking angle of her body that wasn’t perfection. She now presses her ass against the pole, and a low growl leaves my lips. She spins around that pol
LEO. Two weeks had passed since our ceremony, and life was fucking better than good. With her officially mine in every fucking way, it felt perfect. I had shifted again, the first time in years and it didn’t almost kill me. I wanted to see her in her wolf form too, but until she had the pup, we couldn’t do that. We had taken the following day to simply relax and get some sleep since we didn’t fucking sleep that first night until early morning. It was going to be one fucking night to remember with the promise that I’d get a dance every year on my birthday, and I plan to hold her to it. The guests had left the following evening, with them all promising to return soon. I guess that meant they have open access to this pack now. I had wanted to ask Dante if he knew anything about what happened with Azura’s wing-like aura, but I didn’t want to pressurise him into fucking thinking I just wanted answers. I didn’t need to be fucking Einstein to know that he wanted to be treated like normal,
LEO. I raise my arm as the entire wall explodes, debris and flames spread around us, and I cock my gun, walking through the flames. My men clear the path for me, blocking anyone from getting too close and those who do manage to pass, I shoot on sight. Soon the commotion of both sides clashing fades away as I walk further down the dark hall. I can hear his heart thumping, and smell the sweat and fear. Oh, he’s close… I wonder how it feels to be the hunted… My footsteps echo loudly in the silence despite walking quietly, and soon I come to a stop in front of a blank wall. He is behind it… My eyes blaze as I kick the wall with full force. It slams right off, and I hear a yell. The wall panel hits the floor with a clang, a puff of dust rising in the air, and I scan the darkness, spotting Web backing away. He isn’t alone, with several men standing in each corner of the room. Each one holds a weapon and each one is trained. “I wouldn’t come in, one shot and you're dead Schurke. You kn
AZURA. My eyes snap open and I feel nauseous. Damn… Something isn’t right… I didn’t even eat anything weird. I frown as I sit up. My heart is thumping as I look around the dark room. What woke me up? Why is it so dark? It isn’t just dark, it's really really dark. Sure, I can see perfectly but there are no lights on outside. Strange. I kick the blanket off, wondering once more what had awoken me. I glance at the clock. It’s late… Did Leo get back? ‘Baby?’ I call, glancing at the bathroom - but it's dark. I guess he won’t be back so soon. I hope everything is going according to plan for them. Running my fingers through my hair, I reach for the lamp and tap it. I frown as it doesn’t turn on… “What is going on?” I murmur, trying to shake away the unease I’m feeling. It must be a power outage. Just a power outage Azura. Damn, what if Corrado wakes up? I get out of bed, walking toward the bedroom door. Suddenly I get the strange feeling that I’m being watched and I turn sharply,
LEO. The pain that burns me is nowhere as strong as the terror in my heart. Azura is in pain! Slowly, the pain eases and my heart thumps violently - terrified as I wait for the worst. Please be ok… Fuck! I wait with bated breath, but nothing happens, and the bond remains. I close my eyes for a moment, trying to collect my breath before glaring up at the man before me. “You… after everything… this is what you do?” I hiss. “Where is Azura!” “She’s gone. Her and Corrado both I’m afraid.” Eric replies calmly. My heart is thundering as I mind link the others. ‘Code fucking red, it’s Eric. Li Sheng! From the hospital, get me the fucking injections of mine! Ace, contact the others, tell Alejandro that we’ve had a fucking break-in, Dad’s down… Azura and Corrado are gone.’ My voice is strong, and as Alpha, I have to remain strong, but inside I am crumbling. ‘Ringing the Lycan King right now.’ Ace growls back. ‘Good. Azura’s wedding ring has a tracker. Tell the other three to follow i
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
