”Alright someone needs to explain to me why we’re all freaking out about your brother being with Gabby! From what everyone in this pack has experienced by themselves he was a sweet, normal guy who just wanted to live like a human. Which I admit is weird but it was his choice and that’s why he left the pack, right?” Everyone fell silent. ”Go on, Alpha, tell her how everything your pack members know is a lie, tell them about who he actually was-” Edmund narrowed his eyes at me. ”-Tell her about how he didn't choose to leave the pack, but rather how his father banished him from the grounds and forced his son away to live with the humans. Tell her about how he tried to kill his own father to take over as Alpha!” ”What?” Cassy gasped and everyones’ heads fell. Cat’s out of the bag, might as well just lay all the cards on the table now. ’Just a few years too late’ I could really use your support, dumbass ’Name calling, that’s a good way to get my support’ ”It started when Asher wa
His hand slipped down and his lips were pressed against mine as I squirmed. I turned my head and began to shake. ”Easton, stop,” I felt his finger over the thin fabric of my panties. ”Stop,” I breathed and my breath caught in my throat. I didn't know how to react. My body wanted him but my heart and mind were screaming for him to stop. ”Easton, stop it!” I screamed and started pulling frantically. He stopped and stepped back. ”What the hell is wrong with you!” I screamed and backed away into the table. ”I-i’m sorry I didn't think you were…I'm sorry,” he said and took a few steps back. ”I’m so sorry, I didn't you were serious. I shouldn't have done that, I'm so sorry,” I looked down at the floor and pulled my shirt down. ”I think you should go,” I said and pulled my arms around myself, pushing back the tears that were rising. ”Gabby, I-” ”Just go, please.” I said and narrowed my eyes. I tilted my head back and focused on the purple painting behind him instead of looking into
”And who is this?” He asked as he came up to us and stopped in front of me with merely an inch of air in between. ”This is my new friend, Gabriella,” everyone turned to us, their eyes suddenly narrowed and their eyebrows hunched. ”Good job, I was getting bored of the regulars.” He said and cupped my cheek. I drew in a sharp breath and I held it. All my danger bells were ringing so loud that I couldn't hear myself think. ”Easton,” I said again and turned my head to the side to look at him. He smirked and lifted his head. ”Yeah, baby?” ”Shh, don’t look at him,” the man in front of me said and turned back my head and cupped my other cheek as he leaned down. ”Look at me.” He said with a smile and then pressed his lips down on mine. I struggled and turned but he was strong, too strong. I whimpered and started digging my nails into his arms. ”She’s feisty, that always makes it more fun,” he said as he pulled back. ”I’m Aron and we’re gonna get to know each other really well to
I felt a hand tangle in my hair and pulling me back, another hand was on my breast and I heard a gaging sound coming from behind me. When I opened my eyes, I looked past the blurry vision of my tears and saw all the hands on my body. One of the girls were giving a blow job and the other two were getting undressed. ”Don’t worry, they’ll all get a turn with you.” Easton growled and started thrusting harder and faster. ”Keep your eyes open, or I'll make it hurt real bad.” He lifted my head, forced it down to watch what he was doing to me. Every thurst, every hit, every touch and every pinch caused the slivers of my life to fly further away. As though I left my body and was watching from above I suddenly felt no pain, in fact, I felt nothing at all. His head came down toward my face and he grabbed my chin, forcing it still as he slowly began kissing me. He pressed his dick deeper and deeper with slow thrusts, he wanted it to feel as much as possible. Someone was grabbing my breasts
”I’m gonna kill you!” Edmund jumped at him but his guys stepped between and Nick pulled him back. ”Where the fuck is our sister?” Nick growled and stepped closer. ”Oh, her-” He said and raised his head. ”Yeah, she’s a little out of it right now but don't worry, I'll take good care of her. Since her husband couldn’t,” He said and looked back at me. That son of a bitch had his days numbered. I raised my hand and threw the first hit. Asher stumbled back and Nick, Noah and Edmund jumped on the others. He was mine. Punches were thrown left and right and the guys were drawing blood faster than the others could stand up. They fell to the floor and I threw another punch at Asher, taking his neck and pulling my knee up at his face. I threw another punch and saw his eyes quickly glancing at his men who were laying on the ground getting pounded on three hits at a time. Edmund jumped over them and ran around the corner from where Asher had come out. Asher stood back up and threw a hit w
~Gabby’s POV~ My eyes fluttered open slowly. My head was pounding and my body was aching in all different places. I looked around the room and groaned with every single move I made. I sat up and winced when I felt the throbbing pain between my legs. I removed the cover and saw that I was naked, my body covered in bruises and dried blood that someone had tried to clean off. I drew in a shaky breath and covered myself up, my body slumped down and my head hit the pillow. The drapes were drawn and the room was dark. All the memories were coming back to me, and one by one I was starting to remember everything. Aidens bet, moving to the town, meeting Easton- or Asher, I guess. And everything that happened afterward. The assault, the punches, kicks, slaps and the… Something was gone, something within me had withered away and I couldn't feel it anymore. There was a knock on the door but I was just staring up at the ceiling, content in the darkness. I knew I was back at the pack but I did
The paws hit against the ground and dirt scattered all around. Edmund’s wolf ran up on my side and Nick and Noah were on our tale. Everyone was pushing off the ground as fucking fast as they could and I was already imagining the taste of his blood whenever we caught the fucker that left that message. We ran down to the border and past it, out into the woods, and then halted to a stop. We sniffed around, I locked eyes with Nick and he growled. Shit, it was building within me, all the hate and the anger. We leaned our heads back and howled up at the sky, leaving a message for whoever had been here. How could our warriors have been so dumb to let them go? ”How’d it go?” Bob asked me when we returned. I was wiping my head with a towel to dry the sweat. ”They’re gone!” I said and tossed the towel onto the candles on the sidewall. He looked down, bowed his head, and held his hands at his side. ”Who was the warrior on patrol?” I asked and walked up to him. ”It was me, Alpha,” he sai
~Gabby’s POV~ The ceiling was the only thing I had been watching for the last couple of days. People had come up with food and drinks and then came back later to take back the full trays. It wasn't that I couldn't eat, it was that I couldn't move. Not a single muscle in my body was functioning as it used to. Maybe they did but I just didn't want them to. I used to have a lust for life, a sense of wonder and curiosity but that was all gone. The one thing that had kept me alive through all of the pain and abuse I had gone through, it was gone. And I didn’t know how to live without it anymore…I didn’t know if I wanted to live anymore. The door opened up and a little light seeped through the crack of the door from the lamp in the hallway. I felt the bed dip down and heard the crunch of bags being placed down on the bed. Cans of sodas were placed there as well and the tv was turned on and lit up the dark room. She sniffled and wiped her nose. ”We don't have to talk, you don't hav
Aiden saw, his eyes met his mother's and like the flick of a finger, the time sped up and Asher's head flew back. He clawed out Asher’s other eye, completely blinding his wolf before jumping up and digging his teeth into his neck. Asher’s wolf fell to the ground, trying with all his might to get back up but Aiden sunk his teeth in deeper and I saw that he was making it hurt as much as possible. As his last breath was drawn, Aiden finally pulled back and rose his head. He looked behind him and took off, running to his mother's side. Everyone else kept fighting and were going ferociously at Asher’s men. Their leader was dead but they weren't stopping. I turned back and saw Liliana, her eyes were turning red as she looked out over all the men fighting. She screamed and raised her hands, and with her hands rose fire and burnt the werewolves alive. Our own men were backing away and pulling at each other to run back. Just as the others were about to run, a wall of fire rose behind them, t
~Edmund’s POV~ Liliana was looking at me, her lips slightly parted and her mind seemed deep in thought. I held on to my cup to keep from showing how shaky my hands were. Talking feelings and being exposed like this wasn't my thing, I never had to do it. I'd wink at a girl and they’d come to me but this wasn't a one-night thing and I wanted to do it right. The question was if she’d let me. ”I know that you’re more than that, it’s just,” her voice was so low and fragile and nothing at all like we had seen her be. Her eyes flickered and she rolled her head. ”You don't understand,” she sighed and closed her eyes. Her head fell and her hand let go of the fork she was holding. ”Don’t understand what?” I asked her and pinched my brows together. Liliana slowly opened her eyes, so slow that I could see every littlest emotion that swirled around in there. Her shoulder slumped and she exhaled. ”The fight isn't over,” she whispered as though it was a secret. ”What-what do you mean?” T
~Gabby’s POV~ Liliana was sitting next to Edmund, the two seemed to have similar scowls on their faces. Neither said a word, they just ate and completely ignored everyone, including each other. ” How did you sleep?” I asked them and squirmed in my seat. Edmund looked up at me through hooded eyes and then back at his plate. ”Fine,” Liliana said and offered at least a strained smile. She had more manners than my brother, who would've thought. The stale tension only rose but I couldn't be too upset about it. Every time I saw the heart-shaped ring on my finger a swarm of butterflies erupted in my stomach and I got all giddy. Aiden saw where I was looking and grabbed my hand, he lifted it to his lips and placed a kiss on it. I saw Marie’s and Clark’s pleased expressions. They looked just as happy as we were. But of course, I wanted to see all of my brothers happy as well. Noah was happy with Cassy and now Nick had Erin, that only left Edmund who was mated to the woman who put a h
”I just…I don't feel like I belong here,” I said and looked down, too ashamed to look into his eyes. I felt his finger under my chin and he tilted my head back. My eyes flickered between his lips and his eyes. ”You do,” he said and leaned down, he placed a soft kiss on the side of my mouth. ”You belong here,” he said and kissed my jaw. He raised his head, his eyes locking me down and he stepped closer, brushing his body against mine. ”You belong with me.” He said and kissed my lips, I drew a sharp breath and released it heavily, feeling my chest and my shoulders sink. He continued placing soft kisses on my lips and his other hand rested on my waist. I leaned forward, pressing myself against him and my mind and my thoughts ceased to exist. I pressed my lips harder onto his and grabbed onto the back of his head. His tongue slipped in and he held me so hard as if begging me to stay. Worried that if he let go, I’ll be gone. He gently lifted me and placed me on the bed. ”I’m beggi
~Erin’s POV~ I walked out, ready to say goodbye to everyone but as I got to the foyer, I saw them all standing there with big smiles on their faces. ”There you are, come on, we’re going for a run!” Gabby said and came to grab my hand. ”Gabby, no. I have something-” ”Don’t. Not yet,” she whispered and the sadness in her eyes was just heartbreaking. ”Sure, let’s go for a run,” I said and squeezed her hand. We didn't shift at first, we took off our shoes and ran on the ground, through the grass, and down into the woods. I closed my eyes and allowed my other senses to take the stirring wheel as the wind embraced me. We all shifted and ran between the trees and tried catching up with each other. Nick’s wolf slowed a little beside me and we stopped behind everyone else as they continued. He came up and started nuzzling me. He leaned his head over my wolves and they rubbed against abasing each other, both as pleased as they could ever be. Somehow this made me feel worse because now I r
”Sending a bunch of big men with big muscles may work for you wolves but when it comes to a witch, it’s better to send someone with respect.” She said as she stood in front of Aiden. ”You're Liliana,” ”And you must the Alpha,” she reached out her hand and Aiden shook it. Liliana's eyes suddenly furrowed and she looked past him. She walked up the stairs and looked around the entrance. Her eyes were searching for something and it looked like they found it when a door opened up upstairs and a girl walked out. She was pulling down her dress and giggling as she pulled Edmund closer and pressed her body against his. He smirked and nibbled on her ear but then stopped. He froze in his spot and slowly turned his head. His eyes locked with Lilianas and started glowing.”Mate,” was the only word that left his lips. The girl gasped and slapped him as she stormed off down the stairs and out of the house without making eye contact with anyone. Edmund was taking slow steps down the stairs and Lili
Aiden and I sat in silence for several minutes before I had the courage to speak. ”I don’t know yet. There’s just so much going on and things that have happened that I don't know if I can stay. I mean I just found out that I have this whole other family that I thought all my life gave me up. Now I have a mate as well and things just aren't working out as they’re supposed to,””Or maybe they’re working out exactly as they’re supposed to. You went through hell, Erin, but now you’re here, you’re home. Maybe this was your way back,””Or maybe I was just never meant to come back,” I whispered. The life I had been living for the past years had been that of a nightmare and the thought of it all being part of my faith was terrifying. ”Just don't do anything rash, take your time and think about it before deciding,” Aiden got up and left. His eyes were pleading with me but just like the rest of them, I knew he wouldn't try to stop me if I chose to leave. He’d respect my decision, as they all
Gabby’s eyes widened and she was staring in shock at our brother who had no recognition of her whatsoever. He twisted her arm and extended his claws. ”Get back!” Edmund pushed at his chest, I went around Gabby and grabbed his arm and we pinned him against the wall. ”What the hell is wrong with him?” Edmund growled. He turned his head and looked at me but this time I didn't have the answer and that pissed me off. He knew me and Edmund but how could he have forgotten about her? All her life it had been the three of us, working shit out together and protecting each other. He was the one alongside Edmund who would break necks and slit throats to keep her safe and now all of sudden she was a stranger to him. ”Easy,” Gabby said beside me. Everyone was silent for a minute, including Noah who was seething and trying to push us back. When I looked into his eyes I could see my brother but there was something more, something that wasn't him and it was eating him up. We needed to find the w
~Nick’s POV~I told the others to wait upstairs. We had been patiently sitting around for a fucking hour to see if the warriors could get anything out of Amanda but they hadn't so I was going to see if I could speed it up. ” She’s pretty beaten but maybe you'll be able to get something out of her,” the guard said on his way out. I wanted everyone gone, the only people left would be me and her.I walked up to the cellar and Amanda was sitting on the floor. Her arm was broken and half her body was covered in blood. Her right eye was swollen and there was a cut on her leg where it looked like someone had driven in a knife and still- she hadn't talked. ”What do you want?” She said in a raspy voice, barely able to look at me or move her lips. ”The truth.” I said and circled my fingers around the bars. She tried shaking her head but winced. The cellar leaked of wolfsbane and she wouldn't be healing anytime soon. ”I… I’ve told the truth. I didn't use magic on anyone so…just go,” she sai
