Nick POVI park my truck in the driveway of the pack house. I don’t get out because I don’t need anyone to question why I’m mad. My wolf is agitated, so I might just go for a run. He wanted to rip Logan apart, but I had to push him back and fight for control. "Fuck, she got me so mad. Why the fuck did she let him kiss her and hold her?" I think to myself. I almost lost my sh*t when she called him a baby. “Are they dating? Fuck.” I groan and punch the steering wheel. I grab my phone and send her a text.“You owe me a conversation, Riah, and what the hell was that back there? Were you trying to piss me off because if it was, it worked?" I text.I turn my phone off and wait for her reply. My phone beeps, and I smirk when I see her name pop up.“I don’t owe you any explanation. Nick, I’m tired of repeating this to you; just because we fucked doesn’t mean you owe me. I’m done with your little games. Pay attention to your girl and leave me alone.” Mariah replies.I let out a growl, my wolf
Mariah’s POVThis week has gone by in a blur. I have been avoiding Nick every time I can. I’m trying to make things obvious so that my best friend and brother don’t question me. Logan and I have been hanging out a lot. Everyone brought up the fact that we were dating each other. My parents didn’t like me dating someone who wasn’t my mate, but they respected my decision. I wish I could have told them it was all pretend, that I was only trying to mess with Nick, but I can't tell them that.Its Friday night, and I'm getting ready in my best friend's room. We are all going to the movies tonight. Taylor and Logan are picking us up in twenty minutes. Nick said we could tag with them since we were all going to the same place, but I refused, which obviously got him upset. Nick and my brother are going with Mila and Nancy, who will meet my brother over there. I have a white solidpleated hem skort with a white crop top and some white slip-on flat shoes. My hair is up in ahigh ponytail, and I
Nick POVI see her there smelling my pillow and I smile, she hasn't seen me, so I take advantage of it; I walk gently towards her once I reach her, I wrap my hands around her waist. I can sense her body tensing up as she tries to catch her breath and her heart rate quickens."What am I going to do with you, Riah?" I lean up close and murmur into her ears.When asked, she sighs. "Nick, what the hell did I do?"She spins around and I pull her close to me. When I saw Logan kissing you, it was like a knife to my heart."Nick, he's my boyfriend, so kissing me is totally normal." She responds.What I mean is, "I don't like it; I should be the only one allowed to kiss these lips." I stroke her bottom lip with my finger.Nick, listen to me: "We can't keep doing this; it's not right. She states."Why, give me a reason, and it better be a good one." I say sharply.What better reason could there be that we would hurt people like my brother and your sister? "How do you think they'll react if they

Nick POVI sit in the driver's seat and begin driving. Seeing her cry breaks my heart. I place my hand on her thigh and draw circles on it."You know she'll come around, babe. Just give her some time to calm down." I say."I don't know Nick; she feels betrayed, and I don't think she is going to get over it anytime soon." She says she is crying."Maybe not right away, Riah, but she will eventually; she loves you too much to be mad at you too long." I sigh."That's what people will wonder: what was so important for best friends who had never fought before to have their first conflict?" She starts to panic and wonders, "What if they ask her questions and she feels pressured and tells someone that Josh is going to kill us?""Hey, look at me." I take her chin and say, "Everything is going to be fine, okay?" "How about you take a nap while I go get some food?" I said it lightly."I'm not really hungry," she says."Well, too bad you're going to eat," I respond firmly.She sighs but says noth
Mariah POVI woke up with a massive headache, but even that couldn’t ruin my mood. Rose's message was the first thing I saw when I woke up, so I called her right away. She asked me to meet her at the café next to my house. I wasted no time at all. I took a quick shower and dressed as quickly as I could. I left as soon as I finished, and when I arrived, she was already there. As I walked up to her, I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. After reaching the table, I took a seat."Hello," I said hesitantly."Hi," she replied."Im sorry." We said it in unison."Please let me go first." I tell her."OK," she nods."I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I was confused and fighting my emotions for a while." "I kept pushing your brother away because I knew our relationship would cause problems and upset people," I sigh. "But then I started falling for him, and it became increasingly difficult to push him away until I decided to just go with the flow. "I know he'll find his mate soon, a
Nick POVI’m texting Rose, thanking her for fixing things with Mariah, when I sense her walking in. I'm just about to finish my text when I hear her speak. "Is the phone more important than me?" She asks sarcastically. When I look up at her, I completely forget about the text. I get up and walk towards her; she raises an eyebrow.“I thought you were on your phone." She asks.“I was, but when you look this good, the phone and anything else can wait.” I reply."It's okay; you can go back to your phone. I'm just going to go lay down for a bit.” She says it teasingly.She starts walking towards the bed, sexily swaying her hips; her ass looks delicious in that red lacy thong. When she throws herself forward on the bed, her ass cheeks jiggle, and I bite back a groan. She grabs the pillow and pretends to sleep, but the moment she pokes her ass up, I know she's just trying to mess with me, so I decide to mess with her back. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea; we should take a little nap.” I
Mariah POVI wake up close to Nick, and the last thing I remember him saying is, "I love you." I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me wants to believe him and give in to our feelings, but another part of me is afraid that he will discover his mate and instantly fall in love with her, and then I will get hurt. I peel his hands away from me and go to the bathroom. I enter the bath, fill it, and lay down. I'm getting a headache from having so many thoughts running through my mind. Will I reject my fated mate for him? Will I ever meet my fated mate? What if he's my fated mate? I sigh and close my eyes. So, I guess I'll have to wait another two months to find out; I guess I'll just have to go with the flow till then.I'd been in the bath for about thi
Mariah POVI have lost track of the days I been here; it feels like I been here for ages. Every day I think about my family, my friends and my mate; I wonder if they are still looking for me or if they have given up. The only people I see is Austin when he brings me an apple and a water and his stepsister Julia when she sneaks in to keep me company, she has become a friend and I barely get to see Mila but when she does come, she has Austin tie me up while she mocks me and warns me that my pups and my time is coming. I don’t know what she means by that but I have a feeling I’m not going to like it either.I woke up today feeling on edge I don’t know why but I have a feeling something is going to happen. I sit on the chair and rub my stomach while I talk to my pups; I have a little bump and I started feeling some movement. “What do you guys think your daddy doing right now.” I ask my pups; I don’t know if they can hear me but I don’t have anyone to speak to so I talk to them. I close my
Nick POVAnother week and nothing, sometimes I feel like they took her out of the state. We have talk to different pack Alphas they even offer to let us check their pack, but we did not find any signs of her anywhere. My wolf is starting to become feral; everyone tries to avoid me scared that I am going to snap at them I do not blame them Mariah disappearance have me on edge.A knock on my door pulls me out of my thoughts.(Come in.) I yell.(Hey bro.) Rose says her eyes shining with unshed tears.(Hey, are you okay?) I ask concern.(I miss her.) She sobs he rushed tears falling down her face.I pat the spot next to me on the bed, she walks towards me and sits. I wrap my arms around her and press her close to me.(I miss her too.) I say and sigh.(Where could they have taken her.) Rose whispers.(I don’t know we have checked everywhere they could have taken her but nothing its like she was swallowed by the ground.) I answer.(Have you seen her mom?) She asks.(No but I heard she was n
Mariah POVI lost track of how many days I been here, and I still haven’t met the mystery woman. After a few days I was transfer to a room that didn’t have a window to look outside just a toilet and a skimpy mattress on the floor. The door has a slot that only opens through the outside so I can’t open it to see if I can see anything or anyone. The only two people I see are Austin and his stepsister Julia who tries to sneak me some snack through the slot whenever Austin isn’t around. I try begging her to let me go but she said that if she did Austin wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. I feel so bad for the girl if I manage to get out of here, I’m taking her with me. I miss my parents, brother, my best friend and most of all I miss Nick. I haven’t seen Austin all day today and if it wasn’t for Julia, I wouldn’t have anything to eat; I swear I feel like they are trying to kill me of starvation, my poor pups aren’t getting the vitamins and nutrients they need. I sigh and I feel a tear slide do
Nick POVIt’s been hours since Mariah was taken and we still haven’t found a single clue as to where she could be. My wolf is restless thinking of all the things that could be happening to our mate and pups. I have gathered all our pack warriors; Taylor also brought his pack warriors to help with the search. We had our warriors split into four groups of twenty to twenty-five warriors with Logan, Taylor, Josh and myself leading a group. My father and Mariah’s father wanted to join the search but I suggested that they stood here in case she was able to escape and gets home or if the kidnappers make contact. I need her parents’ home in case that’s the first place she goes. I also told them this could be a distraction and we can’t leave the pack unattended incase they come attack so we left warriors behind to watch the pack also. It took some convincing especially her father but thankfully her mother agreed and help me convince him to stay behind; he made me and Josh promise to keep them

Do you understand?) The man growls and I nod my head.(W-Who are you?) I studder. (That is not your concern.) He snarls and I feel something prick my arm.(Ahh! W-what was that?)

Nick POVIt’s been a week since Mariah started staying with me at the pack house, things between us have been getting better little by little. Yesterday during sex, I almost, marked her, but she isn’t ready. She still needs time after all I did break her heart. We got in a small argument because she wants to go back to school, but I told her that it wasn’t necessary and that she should just stay home until she is fully recover but she didn’t like the idea and demanded that I let her get back to school, or she was moving back with her parents; knowing she is serious I told her that she could go as long as she takes it easy. This morning we got up and got ready for school; she told me that I can head out, that she was going to wait for Rose and then meet me in the car. I’m in the car with Josh waiting for her and Rose to come out so we can head to school. (You think she is healthy enough to go to school?) Josh asks worriedly.(I thought the same, but the pack doctor gave her the okay,
Mila POVAfter Nick kicked me out of the hospital, I needed to go get a drink. I drive to the nearest bar so that I can cool off and be able to think about a way that I can get rid of Mariah and her pups. Nick must be mine and no one is going to mess up my plans to become Nick’s Luna. I arrive at the bar after a short ride; I park close to the entrance; I grab my phone and head inside. The smell of alcohol and sex hits me as soon as I walk in. I make my way to the bar and sit on one of the stools.(Hey gorgeous what can I get you?) The bartender asks.(I want sex on the beach please.) I reply.(Coming right up beautiful.) He says and smirks.I thank the bartender for bringing me the drink and I tell him to keep them coming. I try to think of ways that I can get rid of Mariah. I must play it smart and be careful so that I don’t get blamed for it. Maybe I can hire a rogue to kidnap her and then get rid of her. I’m sure that for the right amount any rogue will be glad to comply. (Yeah, t
Mariah POV(Nick!) I say breathlessly.He puts the snack on the table close to the entrance, he starts taking slow steps towards me and I take steps back until I’m pinned between him and the bed. He stops in front of me. I look him in the eyes and wait anxiously to see what he is about to do. His hand reaches towards my face, he runs his hand slowly from my cheek down the side of my neck; it keeps going lower until it stops on my waist. He snakes his arm around me and pulls me towards him.(Why are you torturing me, Riah.) He whispers huskily.(I-I’m not, I-I was just getting ready for bed.) I studder.(Dressed like this?) He asks, his eyes staring at my hard nipples.(I only have lingerie in here.) I say.He leans forward and whispers in my ear. (Lucky me then)(Nick) I say warningly.(Yes Princess.) He whispers huskily in my ear.(You can’t touch me remember.) I say breathlessly.He groans. (What am I supposed to do with this?) He pushes his hip forward; his hard dick pressing on my
Mariah POV(What does it look like I’m doing?) He whispers in my ear, causing me to shiver.(Breaking the rules.) I say and try to pull away, but he grips me tighter.(You see princess, I’m an Alpha and I don’t like being told what to do, especially with what belongs to me.) He says in my ear and nips it playfully.(Well, I don’t belong to you yet. Remember you are on trial right now. If you pass it, only then will I belong to you.) I say breathless and he smirks.He runs his hand slowly from the side of my neck, through the middle of my boobs and down my stomach, stopping under my belly button; he grips my face with his other hand and forces me to look at him.(I want to see your face for what comes next.) He says and nips my bottom lip playfully.I’m trying to act like his touch has no effect on me, but who am I kidding, he can clearly smell my arousal.With him now holding my face, his other hand continues its way down until it reaches my wet and aching pussy, he runs his fingers t
