The vampires have found her. And what does Liam want to talk about?
I cannot believe that Alessia fucking stepped in front of me. As if she was going to take on those five vampires by herself while I stood around with my thumb up my ass. I’m so pissed I could punch something, but right now, I have to deal with the fact that the vampires have found her. If the vampire prince is a decent leader, he’ll know exactly where he sent his scouts and when they are supposed to return. We can only hope that this was an early stop and they aren’t expected back for a while. Rik and I set up additional patrols to cover the canyon between us and assign some warriors to burn the vampires. Now that I’ve smelled them, I know Dustin was right. That’s not a smell you forget. It’s so sweet it almost burns your nose. I’m thankful that Angel stayed in her wolf form. I’m not sure I could have restrained myself if she were naked in front of all these males. I’m already angry, and I need to harness my anger before we get back to the packhouse and I have a chance to speak to he
Liam slides my body up higher onto the bed then lays down between my legs, holding himself up on his elbows. His kiss is scorching, his need for me is as great as mine for him. “I’ll try to be gentle with you Angel, but I’m not really good at being gentle.” “I won’t break.” I tell him and pull his mouth back down to mine. His hands are everywhere, touching me, pulling me closer. His mouth moves down my neck to that spot at the corner of my neck by my collarbone, where his mark will be before the end of the night. He licks and sucks on the spot and I feel heat flooding into my system, pooling between my thighs. He begins to kiss his way down my body, sucking one nipple into his mouth as he squeezes my other breast in his hand. I moan loudly and run my fingers through his hair, grabbing onto it and pulling his head up to look at me. He growls before moving to the other nipple and sucking it into his mouth, pulling it into a hard peak. He gently bites it and pulls is through his teeth
If I thought the taste of my little mate was amazing, it is nothing to the feeling of being balls deep inside her. She’s so fucking tight. I know she must have torn. Thank the goddess for Alessia’s advanced healing power. When she starts to move under me, I take the lead. I want to watch her come undone, I want to know that I’m the only man that has or will ever make her feel this way. So, it’s not enough for her to cum for me once. The feel of her clamping down on my dick is by far the best feeling I’ve ever had. I need to feel it again, and again and again. By the fourth time, I know I’ve pushed her nearly to her breaking point, I can see her tears and I can’t hold back any longer. My canines come out and I need to mark her, like I need air to breathe. “Mine!” As I drive her over the cliff again, I sink my canines into her neck. I’m immediately flooded with her emotions, raw pleasure, joy, and so much love. I only have a moment to enjoy her emotions before I feel her canines sink
I wake to Liam between my legs after having him inside me all night. My body is sore in ways that I could have never imagined but the feeling that I have, both my own and coming from Liam through the bond, brings me a happiness I haven’t felt in years. I’m not alone any longer. Liam loves me, I can feel it. I can feel his joy at our bonding, at my acceptance of him. We’re laying in bed, my head on Liam’s chest, his hand running through my hair, when he brings me back to reality. “We have the meeting with Rik and his pack members this evening about the vampires and our plan. Do you want to go visit Eli this morning, since we didn’t get to yesterday?” I look up at Liam. He’s looking at the ceiling, but he looks at me when I look at him. “I do. Don’t you want closure Liam? Don’t you want to be able to move past this?” He sighs, looking back up at the ceiling. “I do want closure. I want to leave this behind and start our slate clean. So, let’s get up and go see Eli.” He reaches down an
I grab Angel by the arm and walk out of the cells to an area where Eli can’t hear us. “What do you mean he’s telling the truth. He was found with her body.” “Yes, and he admits that. Every word he said back there was truthful. Alessia confirms it.” This can’t be. This can’t be! I’ve been searching my entire life for this man, this man that I thought killed my mother and now I found out he didn’t kill her? It makes no sense. “Then why was he with her? Why was he holding her dead body?” I’m pacing, running my fingers through my hair. Angel comes up to me, taking my hands in hers. “I don’t know. The only way we’ll find out is if we ask him.” I look into her eyes. “Are you sure? Absolutely sure?” “Yes. I’m positive.” She says. FUCK! I’ve been chasing the wrong person all these years? I’ve been using Eli as my personal punching bag, and he didn’t kill my mother? I take a deep breath. “You’ll tell me the minute anything he says is a lie. Anything!” “Of course, Liam.” She cups my fac
Tears are streaking down my face at Eli’s story. Everything he said is the truth. There was not one moment in his story that I could taste deceit. Liam had set me in the second chair and had begun pacing. Through the bond, I could feel his indecision, his frustration at hearing this story. “You could have told my father this story back then, why didn’t you?” Liam asks him. “Your father was a grief-stricken man, out for blood. He wouldn’t have listened to me any more than you have the last six months.” I can see the impact of his words on Liam, feel them through the bond. Liam knows he’s right and his own guilt is threatening to eat him up. I stand and go to him, wrapping my arms around him. It takes a moment, but his arms come around me and he pushes his face into my neck, breathing deeply, calming himself. We stand there for a moment, while Liam collects himself. When he’s calm, he looks back at Eli. “What about Cara? Why did you try to forcibly mark her?” It’s Eli’s turn to st
When I drop Angel off at Clint’s, I walk her inside. I need Clint to know that she’s still healing from yesterday and tired from our marking and mating last night. After I get his assurances that he won’t push her too hard or let her overdo it, I pull her aside. “Alessia.” Cyran pushes forward, I want her to understand the importance of what I’m about to say and I need for her to listen to me. I put my hands on her shoulders when I see the gold rim of Alessia’s eyes and Angel’s eyes turn from gray to an olive color. “Do not run home. I don’t know if there are other vampires in the area. While we have patrols out keeping an eye on the borders, they are after you. I don’t want you out there without me when I can’t ensure your safety.” “Yes Alpha.” She says and bares her neck to me. Her act of submission is so unexpected that I stand there for a moment, my heart stuttering in my chest before I reach down and gently nip her neck then kiss my way up to her mouth. “I love you too much
“Why would being mated to me help Liam see the vampires?” I ask Rik. “When Cara and I completed our mating process, I became stronger and took on some of her Guardian gifts, just not to the same extent that she has them. In the same way, I think that Liam will have some of your gifts, one of which is being able to see the vampires. I know I’m faster now that I’m mated to Cara, and I’ll guess Liam will be too.” I turn and look at Liam. “Do you feel stronger?” He shrugs, keeping his arms wrapped around me. “I felt the power surge when you marked me. I haven’t exactly had time to test out any of your other gifts.” “Back to the task at hand.” Clint brings us back to attention. “We need a plan to make sure that these vampires do not have the opportunity to get to Angel and Cara, especially now that Cara is pregnant. We don’t know how that may influence her taste to them.” “Meaning, I may taste better?” She asks with a disgusted look on her face, as Rik growls. “We don’t know enough.
