‘We should try to round up as many of them as we can.’ John interjected with his suggestion. He’s right. I know he’s right. ‘Two trackers and three warriors follow them. If possible, capture them and, if necessary, kill them.’ I instructed.
As ordered, five wolves chased the distraction while the rest of us continued to run for the Christian Ranch.
I didn’t give a shit about anyone or anything else. All that matters is getting to Aurelia. I won’t lose her, I can’t lose her, and that one thought spurred Jericho to run that much faster. By the time I arrived, the Syndicate Pack were already attacking the ranch.
I saw some rushing for the house and noticed movement inside as I caught glimpses of a woman, a man. A teen boy rushing to shut up the windows like a tornado was coming.
‘Alpha! The Christians and Alex are in the house under Luna’s orders. She would not retreat with them.’ David quickly caught me up as he caught my scent.
‘Take down

I’ve been in a few scraps in my life, but nothing like that. Throwing a few punches was nothing compared to taking down werewolves or killing someone. Oh fuck I killed someone. Hell, I might have killed more than just her. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in my room, and my mom was bandaging my wounds. That bitch bit hard. I know she had gotten me in a few places. But I’m the one that bit into her jugular. I’m the one that survived our fight. I groaned, my whole body aching, as I tried to take stock of my body. ‘Theia?’ I questioned, trying to feel her in my head. ‘I’m still here… just tired. I need to rest.’ she answered, but her voice sounded so far away despite that she was in my head. “Mom?” I questioned, squinting at her. She smiled at me and cupped my face with her hand. “Hey, baby. You’re okay. You’re safe now. It’s all over,” she whispered, trying to assure me. “Where’s Logan…” I asked, vaguely remembering him arriving in
I don’t know if it’s good or bad that I got cock blocked back in her room. As badly as I want her, as Jericho wants, Theia now is not the time, and her childhood bedroom is not the place. I have a tad more respect for her parents than that. However, it’s good to know I’m not the only one who wants to go further. I know she has her doubts about being a Luna. And I don’t blame her. It’s a lot to take on, even for a she-wolf who was raised in the pack. So for someone who only recently learned she’s a werewolf, to be thrust into a position of authority at the age of sixteen was daunting. Fuck, it felt like an impossible thing the day I shifted and learned I had the alpha wolf. Sure, I thought about being alpha and all the new responsibilities I’d have to learn and take on after John shifted, and his wolf wasn’t the alpha. And when it happened… the first few months, I felt like I was going to drown in all the responsibilities my brother had been groome
I’m glad Logan wouldn’t sick the pack on Katherine. I don’t know what pushed her to this betrayal. But even so, I don’t want to see her hurt. Hurting her would hurt David, and he’s become a friend. He’s a good man that doesn’t deserve to have his cousin, who’s his best friend and, like a sister to him, killed. I couldn’t do that to him. And I expected Logan to be furious with me when I finally told him that I saw Katherine in the woods that day. I never mentioned it to him because I wasn’t sure it was relevant. Hell, she disappeared so fast I almost thought I imagined her. And then with how David insisted his cousin wasn’t mated. But it all clicked when David said we’d been betrayed. Logan groaned and sat back, leaning his head against the headrest. “I wish you’d told me,” He sighed. “I know, and I’m sorry. I was almost sure I imagined her with how she disappeared,” I frowned. “Now you say she disappeared. I know that is not a power Katherine would po
I don’t know for sure that I was able to quell her worries about becoming Luna. I hope I helped, at least some. I didn’t get to know what she was most worried about as we’d reached the packhouse, and Hana jumped me. “Hello, Princess,” I sighed, reaching behind my back to tickle her and brought her around to my lap. “Princess, I want you to meet someone vital to me,” I smiled, hugging her. “Hana, I’d like you to meet my mate, Aurelia,” I introduced. “Aurelia, meet my little girl Hana,” I smiled, looking over at Aurelia. Aurelia had a smile on her face, but it didn’t reach her eyes. No, her eyes showed me the truth. Fuck. Meeting my kid is what she was most afraid of. Crap. And probably having to meet in the backseat of a car isn’t the best either. I’d wanted their introduction to go smoothly. But I didn’t have a choice with Hana throwing herself onto my back. John cleared his throat. “Let’s all go inside. Hana, let’s go talk to Mrs. Carmichael. We can se
How did it end up like this? We came to his pack to figure out what to do about finding Siegfried. I met his daughter. Then I embarrassed myself in front of his Gamma and Delta. I thought we’d go into his office or go to sit and eat the lunch John had mentioned. Logan had other plans. And instead, we are here in his room, naked and going at each other like horny teenagers. Well, I’m at least a horny teenager. He’s just a horny old man. I snickered a little at that thought. “What are you snickering about?” Logan growled with a slap to my ass. “Oh fuck…” I groaned as he pulled my lower lips back to his face devouring me with his mouth. Probably best not to laugh when face to face with his massive cock. It was not something to laugh at. It was something to be afraid of. As an inexperienced virgin, it was scary, but then there was another part of me. Maybe it was Theia, or maybe it’s this mate bond. I don’t know. But it was enough to overpower my fear
‘Mark her. We should mark her.’ Jericho kept repeating this as we showered. As my hands caressed every inch of her beautiful body. ‘We can’t. She’s not ready for that. We would push her away.’ I warned him each time. And it would shut him up for a little while. But he’d repeat it when she’d moan at our touch. And then, as I dried her off. I couldn’t help it. I can’t mark her, can’t officially mark her as mine. So I gave my wolf what he wanted in the only way I could without going against her wishes. I left marks across her delicate skin. Unless she’s wearing pants and a long-sleeve turtleneck, everyone will see them and know she is mine. Jericho was rolling around, tongue hanging out, tail wagging with delight as she dried me and bit me all over as payback. I sighed, looking at her as she finished drying my legs, peering up at me with those emerald eyes. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? And how much I don’t want to go downstairs? I wou
I was messing up left, and right it seems. First questioning Logan about having spare toothbrushes, and now the worst thing yet, I dug through his closet and pulled out his dead lover’s clothes. No wonder he went off like that. I can’t even fathom what emotions that stirred up. It’s basically the last thing I wanted to do. I mean, I’m already being thrown into the lion’s den, or guess wolf’s den, with this lunch downstairs with the people closest to him, including his daughter. We both sighed as John reminded us that they were waiting on us. ‘He lives in a house of cockblockers.’ Theia snorted. I snickered as I climbed off Logan’s lap. “What are you laughing about this time?” he asked, cocking his head as he watched me. I could feel those blue eyes of his raking over every inch of my body, and it sent shivers through me. Is this normal? I don’t think I’ve ever had this reaction to a guy before. ‘He’s our mate. This is normal. He feels the same thi
I know how uncomfortable Aurelia feels sitting here with everyone. And Hana can act like I don’t notice her behavior. But I do. I see how she’s looking at Aurelia. I need to nip that shit in the bud. I won’t say I can empathize with Hana. I don’t know what it’s like to lose a mother and then see my father move on with someone new. I’ll try to be understanding. I know how much Hana’s mother means to her. How much her mother means to me. I just need her to understand that being with Aurelia doesn’t change that. That Suzu will always be in my heart. And that Aurelia isn’t here to replace her but to be a new part of our family. She’s probably too young for me to explain that her mother always knew I would find my mate one day. That Suzu was willing to let me go. She understood that a mate is the other half of your soul. And as much as it pained me and I told her I would never and could never love someone that’s not her, Suzu was right.
