There was a shout before someone banged on the door again. I heard grunts as men scuffled just outside and I wondered what the hell was going on. When I turned my attention back to Shane he was staring down at my lips. The tingling from his touch was overridden by the pain his grip caused. I yanked my face away and he released me. His eyes clouded over as he linked his men and I started for the door when a warning growl sounded behind me.“What is your problem?!” I huffed as I turned to look at him. Warmth pressed against my back and an arm wrapped around my waist possessively. The door slammed open and my mouth dropped as my gaze landed on Donny. I don’t know who I was expecting to be the cause of the noise but Donny wasn’t on the list. One of Shane’s guards glared at the back of his head while the other nodded at the man behind me.“Donny? What are you doing here?” I asked. Everyone knew the rules and only one person had ever broken them, Char, when she knocked on the VIP room earli
Those three little words, “We’re done here,” had been buzzing in my head from the moment I got over the feel of his teeth on my neck. They probably never should have been spoken but I couldn’t help it, no, I could. I just wanted to see the look on his face when I walked out of this room with another man. I wanted to see if my words would have the effect I wanted. I wanted to see him lose it, wanted to see if it pissed him off. One minute he’s treating me like a cheap slut and then in the next he wraps his arm around me and tries to act possessive of me in front of Donny? What I found when I uttered those three little words was a rage that had me fearing for Donny’s life. Shane cocked his head to the side, his eyes going the coldest I’ve seen them since I walked into this room, and his body relaxed in a way that seemed odd with the situation. Donny gripped my hand and pulled me close. His scent was all wrong but I was comforted by his familiarity. His large hand came up and cupped my
My heart flip flopped in my chest and I swooned as Maximus held me close. Now that I was alone with a part of Shane that told the truth, I had an idea. This was my chance to seek out answers and ask questions I probably would never ask Shane, especially after the way he treated me. I didn’t want to put up with that man but a part of me was curious about why he was so hateful, so cruel, so harsh to me. A million questions ran through my head and as I tried to figure out which one I wanted to ask first, the large man nuzzled my neck. He made a happy rumbling sound and it was all too easy to let him in. He made a happy rumbling sound and I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders. My throat tightened, what was not to like about a wolf that was practically purring? I’ve only been in his presence for two minutes and I already preferred him to his human counterpart. “Why did you hurt Donny?” I asked carefully. He stopped with his nose against my neck and I wondered if I’d started with th
My tears blurred my vision and I lowered my head to hide from his all-seeing gaze. Never had I thought of seeking out my mate, so of course I didn’t put any thought into my mate’s wolf, but if I’m being honest with myself, I gained 2 of them tonight. One that would throw me away when he was bored of playing with me and the other that wanted me.A mate was two souls given to you by the Moon Goddess. So was it her hand in this that made me feel for him? Was it the strings that she held me by that would bind my soul to theirs for the rest of my life? I wasn’t even close to knowing who Shane was but after a few hours with him, I worried for my heart when I thought of a lifetime of this.I shook my head as a stray tear escaped and rolled down my cheek. I batted it away before he could see it but I’m sure he did. A rough finger tipped my chin up and lifted my gaze to his.“Will you reject me?” Maximus repeated. His voice came out gruff but I could hear the sadness that crept at the edge of
Somehow, someway, I found myself in front of my door at Goddess knows what hour. I don’t know how I got here and I don’t know how long I’ve been staring at the handle. My best friend is on the other side, hopefully sleeping. My mind is a tornado of thoughts and my heart is filled with a hurricane of emotions. I know he’s hold me and let me cry it out but I hate worrying him. He appears strong for me but any whiff of sadness and despair and he won’t stop until he finds out where it’s coming from. That’s the last thing I want from him. I don’t want Shane to find out about Gabe and misunderstand. I doesn’t matter who he is to me, I wouldn’t let him or anyone else hurt my best friend.Swallowing, I wonder what the chances are that I can get to my room without being seen. I could sprint to my room as soon as I opened the door, but I’d probably break an ankle and wake Gabe. There’s still a couple of hours until he has to leave for his shift, so I’m hoping he’s asleep. Taking a deep breath,
Stepping into the shower under the spray of lukewarm water, I welcomed the uncomfortable feeling that cascaded over me as his scent was covered. I leaned my head forward and the shower head doused me and I prayed it would take away this feeling in my chest. I didn’t want to think about him, didn’t want to wonder about him, didn’t want to put a name to the feeling. The harder I tried not to, the louder the word got. Need. Need. Need. Now that I’d met my mate my mind was turning on me. I grabbed the loofah and lathered it before scrubbing my body hard. Determined to clean every inch of my body, in denial of the fact that no matter how hard I scrubbed, I wouldn’t be able to erase his face from my mind.My skin burned as I worked, my hair clung to my face, neck and body as the water heated. I’d never wanted to find my mate before, never wanted to see him. I even worked at a human club in hopes of avoiding my kind and avoid the possibility of coming across him by accident. Now that I look
“Morning, Ady,” Leo said nonchalantly with a nod of his head. He leaned against the door frame, his cock hard as a rock and very hard to miss. There was so much I wanted to tell Gabe, so much I hadn’t even been able to process yet. That was all forgotten as my eyes lowered to Leo’s cock and my mouth dropped. My eyes trailed back up to his face where I was met with a smug look. Of course he wouldn’t care about being on display. It was normal for wolves in a pack to be naked around each other but Gabe and I haven’t been in a pack house for a few years. Outside of clients, men stayed clothed.I quickly picked my jaw off the floor and turned to Gabe. I gave him a knowing look as a smile spread across my face. Gabe stuck his tongue out and gave me a look that confirmed he’d gotten all he wanted last night. My heart lightened a fraction at the knowledge that my best friend was letting himself be with someone. I’d seen Leo not only once but twice in less than 24 hours. Leo’s eyes flickered t
“Before I met him, I thought he must have seen me around and wanted all of my time. When I Found out he was my mate, I wondered if it was because he was jealous and didn’t want me servicing anyone else. Now that I’ve met him, I know it’s because he doesn’t like sharing. He’s just possessive. He hates me Gabby, he fucking hates me,” I whispered. My vision blurred and I refused to blink, willing them to disappear.“First off, any man would go crazy over you. That outfit last night?” Gabe said as he brought his fingers to his lips, made a kissing noise as he pushed them out and away from his face. “Chefs kiss. I’m sure you had every man in the club ready to eat out of your hands,” Gabe said confidently. “And if he’s possessive? Let him think whatever he wants. You belong to you and only you,” Gabe said firmly as he looked into my eyes. “As for hate? No way, Pr-Ady. It’s impossible to hate you. I’m sure he’s just lie every other possessive alpha out there. He needs to have you all to hims
