‘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
New chapters are posted Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
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.
I don’t know how I feel about the new information about my possible biological family. I haven’t told my parents that Logan’s Delta thinks he’d discovered who my birth family is. It’s just been one thing after another, flipping my mundane life upside down. I know I should tell them, but till there’s concrete evidence that says I’m a Kavanagh, I’m not bringing it up. I’m not throwing the search for my biological parents onto their worries. They’ve had a hard enough time dealing with the whole werewolf thing. And I think part of me keeping the search from them is I don’t want them to think I’m looking to replace them. No matter what Silvercloud finds out about my birth parents, no one will ever take the place of the mom and dad who have loved and raised me. They will always be my parents. This week have been exploring the city with Logan when he has free time. Apparently, even if there wasn’t a psycho rogue on the loose, being Alpha is much work. Sybille has ha
My mind was still wrapping itself around what had just happened between my daughter and my mate. I’ve never spanked Hana. No one has, and I don’t even remember Suzu spanking her. I wanted to stop Aurelia. I didn’t want to see Hana in pain. But any time I went to step forward, Jericho kept me firmly in place. ‘She needs to learn her place. I know you love Hana as your own. And so do I. But Aurelia is our mate. She will be Luna. She cannot just let Hana treat her like that. It’s disrespectful. And if you weren’t going to do it, Aurelia had to.’ Jericho shook his head. ‘And be glad it was Aurelia. If I took control, I’d have done it, and that pup wouldn't be sitting for a few days.’ Jericho snorted. I hate that he’s right, but I couldn’t bring myself to hurt Hana. Hurting her felt wrong. Like I was hurting Suzu. But there was no changing what just happened. And before I could really deal with the aftermath, Silvercloud announced they knew where Siegfried was. I
I know I should be focusing on the possibility rogues are about to attack. But I can’t stop thinking about what he said. Logan said he loves me! I don’t think anyone outside of my parents has ever said those words to me. Okay, so Alex has said it, but he’s like my brother. That’s completely different from hearing Logan say them. Theia was pretty damn pleased about it. She’s basically been prancing around with a grin on her face since he said it. “Hey, Luna?” Silvercloud questioned, snapping his fingers near my face. “I wouldn’t…,” Mikali winced as I snapped at Silvercloud, almost biting his fingers. “Do that. Luna is a biter,” Mikali shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck. I rolled my eyes but was smirking. I’ve never liked someone putting their fingers near my face. Maybe a part of me always knew I was a wolf. Silvercloud pouted and held his hand to his chest. “No wonder the goddess paired her with Logan. A couple of bitters,” he snickers. “Uh-huh. Just don’
I need to get back. I need to get to Aurelia and to Hana. I can’t lose them. I can’t. If I do… I don’t think I’ll ever come back from it. Jericho had taken control, using his power to propel us faster. He was just as desperate to get to our mate and daughter. What Katherine’s mate said, it scared us. I’m not one to admit to ever being scared, but the thought of losing Hana or Aurelia scared me. I know the others were having trouble keeping up with me. Even John was struggling to keep my pace. As we got closer to the pack, I could smell the rogues. I could hear the shouts of fear. ‘ALPHA! ALPHA! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME HURRY BACK! SIEGFRIED IS HERE!’ Charles’ voice reached me first. Hearing that made me want to run faster, but I was already running as fast as possible. Soon I heard more shouts through the link. ‘ALPHA!! HURRY! IT’S THE LUNA!’ Silvercloud’s voice called out. Aurelia! ‘I’M NEARLY THERE!’ I linked back. I don’t know where Jericho
Fuck me. Everything hurts. I can’t move. Why can’t I move? ‘Theia?’ I questioned the darkness. I waited for Theia to respond. Since the day I first shifted, she’s always had something to say—usually something sexual about Logan. But now, she was silent. It was unnerving. ‘Theia!?’ I shouted again. Yet again, I was met with silence. I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Am I dead? I remember launching myself at Siegfried. I remember him jamming a knife into my side. Did the blade kill me? Or did the fall out of a second-story window do it? If this was the afterlife, every religion had it fucking wrong. It was just dark and empty. I don’t like this. How long ago was it that I went out that window with my teeth in Siegfried’s shoulder? How long have I been in this empty place? So many questions and no answers. Then something broke through the unnerving silence. An alarm? Am I asleep? No, that doesn’t sound like my alarm clock. The interval a
Three days! Three days she’s been recovering in the pack hospital. I’d kept her parents away, not wanting them to come here just yet. I know it’s been frustrating for them. Still, I also wanted to ensure my pack was safe before letting anyone enter the city. I’ve not left her side this whole time. Neither has Hana. I’m glad she’s finally coming around to my mate. I’ve let John run things while I have been here. John took care of the clean-up. The rogues were all burned. John told me that Kurt insisted on being the one to throw Siegfried on the fire himself. I can’t begin to imagine what’s going through his head right now. Kurt never knew Siegfried as a father figure. The bastard was more a nightmare for him than anything else. And like the rest of us, Kurt wanted Siegfried gone. But still. There is a connection between parents and their children. I also don’t know what the future will hold for Kurt. Siegfried was the alpha of the rogues. A
