He guides me to the bed where I lay down. He sits up against the headboard and I use his lap as a pillow. My attention homes in on the light touch of his fingertips against my back.Time passes, but not enough. He starts to get up, but I latch my arm around his waist. With a furrowed brow, he looks down at me.“Stay,” I request.For a second I'm terrified he'll still go, but he nods, then loosens his collar. Without removing the hand from my back, he unbuttons his shirt and strips it from his body. He slips down onto the mattress with me and wraps his arm around me. I snuggle close and wait for sleep.And wait, and wait, and wait...JAKEDawn breaks gently,shafting pristine morning light through the blinds of the motel room. Anna lies still beside me, her breathing slow and deep. The breath of untroubled slumber.Finally.It took nearly all night for her to accept sleep’s grace. Little twitches against my arm informed me that she kept startling awake every time she began drifting off.
My eyes open. I hadn’t even realized they’d closed, and I stare down at her. Head thrown back. Hair spread out behind her. An expression of ecstasy on her face.She’s perfect.Her muscles squeeze me tighter. She gasps, and her eyes fly open. Her orgasm hits her so hard that she begins chanting my name, her voice shocked and husky all at the same time.My cock takes her deeper with every thrust, and as her muscles continue squeezing around me, I come. Hard. So hard it’s almost painful. So hard that my brain can’t seem to process just how good it feels.And I watch her.Feelher. Her orgasm, the knowledge of her pleasure, building my own.Each pump is pleasure so intense that she’ll be dripping with my cum when she’d done.It’s so good that I’m groaning, lost to the sensation of her around me. Coming with her… it’s unlike coming with anyone else.I collapse, feeling content, body and soul.She holds me close. “Jake, that was…”“Yeah,” I stroke her hair, kiss her lightly.We shift on the bed
“We came out for some peace and quiet,” Lucas tells him, throwing the ball for Trouble again a little harder than he had been, his gaze bordering on a glare.“Peace and quiet, what a novel idea, but one that should be appreciated more.” He seems oddly content, gazing out at the world as if it’s something wondrous.“Aren’t you cold?” Lucas asks, his voice a little chilly.Asher looks down at himself and shrugs. “My wolf and I always prefer the cold to the heat.”He and I are alike in that regard.“So, when will Anna start feeding on me?”My jaw drops, but I have to recover quickly, because Lucas looks like he’s ready for a fight. “That’s only one of the reasons we allow you to come with us is your magical powers. From what we’ve seen so far, I don’t think it’ll be necessary for Anna to feed on you.”And we’ll kill you before we let that happen.“I am her third mate anyways I don’t have to argue with you guys”“It’s not any of your business since she’ll never feed off ofyou,” Lucas snap
Trying to pretend like I'm not mortified, I say, “I’ll admit, I’m a little curious what you’ve been up to on here.”He grins. "Come hang out," then heads for his laptop.Dragging a second chair up beside him, I hesitate, unsure of what he’s invited me to do exactly. I look down at him and he looks back at me and a glint in his eye glimmers like Venus in the evening blue sky.“You want to see it?”I grin.You bet I do. Whatever it is. “Sure.”My gaze lingers on his face a moment longer before turning back to the computer screen, on which a satellite image of a forest appears. “This,” he says with a hint of pride, “is the Ethan’s Pack’s home.”What the fuck?I lean closer and realize it’s not a picture, it’s a video feed. Tiny figures like black dots traverse roadways that cut through the woods. They pass between structures tucked in amongst the trees. “Whoa, is that—”“Live? Mhm. Just hacked a few satellite systems to gain access to their feeds.”I cut my eyes to his again, appreciating
“Will we be killing the perpetrators, or is this a stealth extraction of my pack members?”“We’re not executioners,” says Jake.It’s another three hours’drive until we finally approach our destination. The terrain breaks, mountains rise from the desert waste, their slopes robed in green pines. The road slithers up the grade. The sleepy miles of empty, tan expanse give way to vigilance. Yet everyone watches the trees, expecting something to leap out from behind them.“What’s the plan exactly here?” I ask, breaking the silence.All eyes focus on Jake.He stays staring straight ahead when he answers. “We go in as Enforcers under the cover of just checking things out. We find your pack members. We make it clear that they’re coming with us and that if there’s a problem, all hell will break loose with the Enforcers. They won’t want that, and we’ll remove your pack members. Then, with the victims as proof, the Enforcers will come in and handle the Ethan Pack.”“Or?” Lucas asks, lifting a bro
“That’s what I’m talking about,” says Lucas with a hand pump and a grin. He’s first in line for a weapon, both my mates brings out their guns, they had two guns each , I look up to Asher, he had no gun.“ You should get a gun? Lucas says to Asher.“ I don’t ave one but I have the one bigger than a gun” he replied with confidence.“Luca looked at his two guns then he walk up to me and handed me one.“ Do you know how to use that? He asked.I shake my head to reply.“ Okay, I think you should return to the SUV, I can’t stand to see anything happen to you, it’s dangerous out here” Lucas says.“ Nevermind about me, I will try to use my Magic” I replied in a low voice. He stare at me for a while , he ad fears written all over his face.“ Listen, you should sta in the car, you don’t even know how to control that magic yet, I might never have you but our daughter needs you and Jake will make a perfect mate in as much as I want to be your mate, your hapiness matters” He look at Jake.“ He wo
Elise pulled me toward a large house in the outskirts of the town, I stared at the text message sent to me from an anonymous number, my chest tight in anticipation. Since I had left home three days ago, I hadn’t told anyone that I was coming back to my hometown. Only Elise knew. “Girl!” Anna shouted, grabbing my phone from me. “We’re about to head into your first party since you finally got the balls to leave your father’s estate and come back to town. Put your phone away!” I took my phone from her and shoved it into my purse, tucking some brown hair behind my ear. “I thought you hated partying?” “My best friend is back in town. You bet your cute little tush that I’m going to party, no matter how much I hate the smoke and drunk monsters trying to crawl up into every girl’s bed. Gods, I see enough of that at the pub.” After looping her arm around mine, she pulled me into the dimly lit house. Smoke and haze lay heavily around grinding bodies. People of all species danced and drank t
An explanation? Nerves zipped through me, and I found myself stepping back farther into the room. The four wolves followed me, their mere stature so much bigger and more confident than I ever remembered. What kind of damn explanation did I have for leaving them? None. “My dad made me leave,” I whispered, holding my hands up, as if to show them I wasn’t dangerous. Hell, I didn’t even know why I was doing it. A human like me could never be dangerous to four ruthless wolves like them. “He smashed my phone and moved me across the country.” “You didn’t say good-bye,” Lucas said. Dark skin, a single cuffed earring, and a fade with three-inch dreadlocks, Darius stood a bit stockier than the others. If it wasn’t for his gold family ring that he wore around his right thumb, I wouldn’t have recognized him. “I didn’t think I was leaving,” I said. “You left on your eighteenth birthday,” Tyler said, his voice deeper than it had been since I’d last seen him. Last time I had seen him, he had
When she began muttering,“No,”over and over again, I nodded to the back door.“Open it up,Lucas. We need to get her….”Suddenly, Anna snapped her eyes open and stared up at the dark night sky. Tears began pouring down her face, her cheeks becoming blotchy. “No!” she said, shaking her head and twisting even more in my arms. “No! They can’t.”I didn’t know why she was crying or what kind of daydream she’d just had. I wasn’t as good with emotions as Lucas was, but I clutched her tighter so she wouldn’t thrash around so sporadically.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“They … they want babies!” she shouted, her cries becoming louder and completely controlling her body. Her breathing became heavier, her voice raspy. She looked around frantically. “They want babies!”“Who wants babies?” Lucas asked her.Instead of answering him, she jumped out of my arms and looked around the forest, shaking her head. Strands of her brown hair whipped around under the moonlight. “We need to stop them. They want the b
“Anna,” she whispered, lips trembling. “Oh, my Anna. There is so much I didn’t get the chance to teach you about who you truly are, about the power you wield, about the family and species you come from.”“Mom …” I whispered, still attempting to understand what she had just said.She scrunched her face and grunted out in pain, her grunt turning into a scream. “The baby …” She looked down at her stomach and grabbed the thick chains in her hands. “You have to get out of here, hide somewhere. They’re coming for you, Anna. They’re coming soon.”“What are you talking about? What’s…”Mom let out another scream and spread her legs. “Anna, go! Only you can stop this. Find your real father.”Suddenly, the door to my left opened. I didn’t want to leave Mom, but I couldn’t let them see me. Whoever it was, wherever this was … I needed to figure out what was going on even if this was just a dream.I crouched behind a large dresser and hoped that the men wouldn’t see me, seeing as the room was basic
“Like it hasn’t already,” Gregor snarled, nervousness crossing his features. “There will be a rebellion soon. I suspect tomorrow at the latest. And the kingdoms can’t even fucking accept me looking like this, a half-human and half-demon face stuck like this forever. How will they… How will they accept me as their new leader?”Elise pulled her hand away from me and took Gregor’s face in her hands. “I accept you just the way you are, Gregor,” she whispered. “They will too.”He stared down at her for a long time, hard gaze softening. And finally, he dropped his head and rested it against hers, his body tense. “I can’t fucking do it. I don’t want to do it. They’ve done nothing but belittle me since I was a child.”My heart clenched at the brokenness in his voice. It reminded me of Elise’s after she was attacked by werewolves years ago. She had come to me in tears and told me that nobody would ever love her, that nobody would ever look at her the same. But I hadn’t seen her any differently
“We’ll fuck you when we get back. This is serious.”After she finally snapped her mouth closed, I wrapped her into a coat because it was getting chillier down in bloodmoon, especially at night, then nodded to the guys. The only person who might have some idea about James was gregor, Eise’s boyfriend.We walked through the chilly fall forest toward bloodmoon, the sounds of the night echoing around us.Sina stepped closer to me and wrapped her hand around my forearm. “Where are we going?”“To see Elise.”“Elise?” she asked, eyes wide. “What does she have to do with this?”“Not her, but her boyfriend.”“You think Gregor knows something?”Branches snapped around us from a couple of small squirrels scurrying through the woods with nuts. I pressed my lips together and stared ahead at the horizon of lights illuminating from the town.“He knows more than I do.”Once Anna pursed her lips, she nodded and looked at the ground, tensing so suddenly that she came to a full stop on the outskirts of
If what the guys had said was true and I couldn’t trust Jaroth, then I needed to at least figure out why he had come here. He had to be here for a reason other than my father. But why? Why would he show up this late at night too?Once I opened the back door, James glanced over Asher’s shoulder at me. I pushed through the guys, who would barely move an inch for me, and stared at my ex-boyfriend, who looked like he had rushed over here in a hurry.“What’s up?”“Don’t talk to him, Pretty Bird,” Asher snapped.But we needed to figure out why he had come.“I need to talk to you…alone,” James said. “It’s important.”“Don’t believe anyone other than your mates,”a soft and distant female voice that wasn’t my own drifted through my head. My brows furrowed momentarily, an uneasy feeling building in the pit of my stomach.“They all want to use you for your power.”I stared at the dirt and swallowed hard. The voice almost sounded like … Mom’s.“You’re more powerful than them all. You’re the only o
One hand holding my tit, the other sprawled against the back of my opposite thigh, Asher didn’t say anything else to me as he rammed his cock into my pussy and pulled me into the air in a reverse cowgirl position, using nothing but brute strength to hold me up.Every time he rammed into me, my breasts swayed in the air. I clenched around him, moaning, begging, and pleading for him to come inside of me. He gripped me tighter and picked up his pace, pounding into me.“Pretty Bird, you’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you?”I bit my lip and nodded. “Yes.”“You like being bred by us.”“I love it.”He shoved himself harder.“I love it.”He trailed his hand to my other breast, groping them both and somehow still ramming into me as fast and as hard as he could. He growled, teeth grazing against my soft spot, and sank the first tip of his canine into me.“I love it so much,” I whimpered. “Oh God! Give me your cum. Please, please, Asher.”He swore under his breath and stilled inside of me. On
Lucas’s shirt that I must’ve worn to sleep last night pressed tightly against me, the design stretching far across the chest and my nipples hard and poking through the material. “Please, Lucas.” I grasped my breasts and tugged on my nipples until I moaned. “Please, give it to me. I’m desperate for your cock.”After grinding myself against him for a few more moments, he finally broke, pulled me off the bed, and turned me around so my back was pressed against his chest. With his large, callous hands, he pushed down his shorts to his knees and grabbed my elbows, plunging himself inside of me.“We really shouldn’t be doing this,” he murmured against me, his canines brushing against my soft spot. “We should’ve waited for the others, but I can’t seem to give a fuck anymore.”I moaned and curled my hands into the sheets, my tits bouncing against my shirt with every thrust. “It feels too good,” I said in a breath. “Too fucking good to wait anymore. They’ll come when they…”“Oh fuck,” he said,
Goddess, I want to,” Jake murmured against my lips, keeping them millimeters away from me, teasing me even harder. The beast inside me craved them so badly right now, even more than when I was in heat. “I want to so badly.”“Jake,” I cried, the warmth overtaking my body. “Now!”While I needed him more than ever, he walked up the prison steps and out of the concrete building toward the pack house with me in his arms. I ground myself up and down on him, rubbing my clit with his growing bulge through our pants.“Breed now,”the beast inside me commanded.“Breed now.”“Breed now,”I repeated, sinking my hand between our bodies and into Jake’s jeans. I gripped his cock in my hand and stroked it up and down as he carried me. “Jake, you need to take me right now. I’m begging you. I need you.”Heat, power, intensity burned inside me, from the inside out. A deep desire built in me.“I can’t,” Jake said through gritted teeth, as if he was trying to hold back. “I made a pact with the guys that once
I wanted her to love me just as much as I loved her, just as much as she did the others. Could she ever love me that much? Were all these doubts and insecurities just in my head? Had I ever been built to mate with someone as strong and powerful as her?“Jake,” she whispered, “talk to me.”“I-I’m sorry.”Fuck, I didn’t know what else to say. How could I tell her that I felt left out? I found it so embarrassing, so terrible to say aloud. It wasn’t like they had done something to make me feel this way. I just was awkward as fuck sometimes.“Please tell me that you didn’t” she paused for a few long moments, her voice frail and wavering, as more tears piled up in her eyes “do anything with Havana. I’m sorry if I hurt you in some way, Jake, but please … you couldn’t have.”“What?” I asked breathlessly, unsure if I had heard her. “You think I would cheat?”A single tear rolled down Sina’s cheek, but she quickly turned away from me. Moments ago, she had been training to be the strongest speci
