“Good to know I have that much power over you.” Kissing him hard one last time, I pushed him back.“Maybe we can sneak away and have more fun in the woods?” Luca rolled his eyes, but walked out of the bathroom as he adjusted himself. “I’m learning more and more about your kinky desires.” “What are yours?” I asked as he slipped on his shoes. Luca smirked as he looked up. “We are installing a pole in our bedroom.” I felt the heat rise in my cheeks as my tongue pushed against it. “I guess I’ll need some outfits…” “Love, you can have whatever you want.” Luca stood up and walked towards the door. “Ready?” “Ready for business Luca and not playful Luca…. never.” Luca rolled his eyes, but I felt the humor in him. As I passed him, he squeezed my ass. “Just remember all the fun things I’ll do to you. Do you really want me to do that in front of someone?” He whispered behind me. Wanting to call his bluff, I turned and looked at me. “Maybe I do.” Crossing my hands, I knew my boobs pushed
“Aren’t you going to stop her?” Heather whispered as I shut the door on them. I didn’t hear what Luca had to say to her. “What are you doing?” He asked, slightly curious. “I saw movement. What if it’s that creature again? We should name him.” “Name him? He isn’t our pet, Demi.” Part of me wanted to slap him through the mind-link, but I wasn’t sure how. “Are we going to just call him the creature? There are a lot of creatures out here. No one even attacks at night. All the more reason to think it was them who took my pack down.” Luca didn’t respond right away. “Freddy.” “Freddy? Like Freddy Krueger?” I crept along any open path. It didn’t look like anything had been disturbed but something was in the trees behind it. “Just because he comes out at night?” “I mean… it fits. See anything?” Luca seemed rather calm. “Something is in the trees, but it isn’t coming out. It doesn’t want me here.” That sent warning bells to Luca. “Maybe come back now?” “I’m assuming Heather is freakin
She wasn’t wrong, but I didn’t have a response to that. Instead, we fell into an understood silence as they kept working. Jared ended up joining us. Nodding his head towards me, he stayed on the other side of the group. The entire morning was just me standing there as they removed piece by piece. The mist became heavier at one point and all that was left were Luca and myself. We were completely drenched, but I didn’t care. Luca didn’t complain once as the water dripped down his chin, landing on every single muscle showing through his shirt. If I wasn’t torn up, watching the place I grew up with being burned, I would have been turned on. “It’s still watching us.” Luca finally muttered as lunch time was approaching. “Probably will all day. This is new and a change to their environment.” “Demi? Luca?” Peggy walked up to us. Her hair was stuck to her face, telling me she hadn’t went in any shelter that was placed up. “You are soaked.” I commented before turning back to my home. She
“So… what do we think?” Giving my friends a little twirl, showing off my new hair. I’ve always had dark brown hair, but today I decided to change it up. “Holy shit! That looks amazing!” Nora, my bestfriend and hopefully sister-in-law one day ran up to me. She towered over me with her skinny long legs and perky boobs. “That purple looks good!” Chase, my boyfriend and future alpha, was the sexiest man I knew. Unfortunatly, the entire pack thought so as well. Standing at 6’4”, his dirty blonde hair matched Nora’s alost identically. The only difference was Nora’s almost went to her waist. Chase slipped one hand under my neck, pulling on my hair. The other wrapped around my waist as he pulled me tightly against him. “I take it you like it?” I asked, wiggingly my eyes at him. His jaw clenched down, making his muslces flex and my panties wetten. “My favorite color.” He growled before kissing me. “Um… gross!” Nora made a gagging sound behind us. “Agreed, dude.” Aaron was another one of
“I always forget how short you are.” Nora laughed as she looked down at me. “Hey!” She wasn’t wrong. I wasn’t exactly short but 5’7” is short compaired to all the model figures the werewolf community usually puts out. Still, I weighed around 130. I had muscle, but Chase has always said I had a very feminine build. Curves in all the right places, delicate and sexy. Still, I was a fighter by heart. Everyone saw my body and assumed I was going to cry if I broke a fingernail. “So pretty in your little frame.” Nora finished her makeup. She watched me for a moment as I finished my smoky eye. “I love that look on you. Such a badass. Those black matted nails will bring the whole look together.” “That’s me. The badass!” Smiling at her, I just looked at my creation. “Here.” Nora grabbed some bobbypins and pulled the right side of my hair back, pinning it behind my ear.“There, that looks better.” The curls around the left side of my face made my jaw really stand out. The velvetly dark purpl
“Demi?” Nora nudged me, bringing me out of the trance the other guy had me in. “What?” “You remember Amelia?” She was our age and the daughter or mate of some beta that I couldn’t remember. “Yes!” Reaching over, I gave her a hug. “How are you?” She was just as tall as I was, but a few pounds heavier. “I’m great! It’s so good to see you girls!” “What can I get you ladies?” The bartender got our attention. The three of us walked up to the bar. “I’ll take a burbon on the rocks. Whatever top shelf you have is fine.” I said instantly. “Still drinking that gross stuff, huh?” Amelia laughed. “I’ll take a cranberry and vodka.” “Make that two.” Nora laughed with her. “I feel like it just fits my vibe.” Laughing, it felt good to let loose. “Here you ladies go.” He pushed all three drinks over to us. Grabbing an extra straw, we turned back to the party.“We need to find our seats before my dad blows a vein, but come find us later, okay?” Nora smiled at Amelia. “Will do!” She waved bef
Grabbing the microphone, he looked at the crowd. “Thank you all for coming! This was our best turnout in years! As always, please enjoy yourself, drink, eat and soak in the last bit of heat that is hanging around! There is a flyer about all our activities we have planned this year. Please take one and let Luna Callie know if you are able to attend or not. Thank you all for coming!” A round of applause erupted in the tent before the D.J. started playing more upbeat songs. “If you kids excuse us, we have a few people we still need to talk to.” Alpha Dylan waited for luna Callie to stand up.“Also, you both better behave. I don’t want to break up any fighting either. Do not disrepect your mother in that way.” He glared at the two boys before walking off. “Why the fuck are you here?” Chase wasted no time in jumping on Luca. He leaned forward, looking completely pissed off. Luca looked like he was enjoying the whole thing. “Just catching up with family.” “Fucking bullshit. You always h
“Demi!” Nora came up to me and glared at Chase. “Are you okay?” Showing her my arm, I shrugged. “Didn’t need stitches!” “Good. Come on!” She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the table where Amelia and a few other girls were sitting. “Here is your drink.” Nora handed me another burbon. “Dad is asking for me. Are you okay?” Chase leaned down and whispered in my ear. “I’m good, thanks.” Looking up at him, I smiled to make sure he knew I was okay. He nodded and walked away.“Still with Chase then?” Amelia leaned in and smiled.“Her birthday is in a few hours. We shall see!” Nora smiled at me and pushed my shoulder. “Do you think it will be Chase?” Veronica wiggled her eyes at me. She was beautfiul and actually did some modeling for Victoria Secrets. Her long black hair bounced with each laugh.I was about to say I hoped so, but looking at my arm, I grew a little nervous. “I’m excited to see what will happen!” Chugging the last of my drink, I stood up. “I’ll be right back.” Showing the

“I know you are awake…” Luca’s finger gently moved my hair out of my face. I was lying on my back, twisted in the sheets. He had fucked me into the night and now I was so sore that it hurt to move my legs. I swear my legs kept twitched all night. “I’m not.” Groaning, Luca turned my head towards him. His laugher died in his throat as he kissed my cheek. “We need to get moving. I want to be out there before anyone else.” I felt Luca shift beside me and my pillow dipped under my head. “You want to go into the woods while it’s still dark?” “I want to see if anything is lurking around… yes.” That got my attention. “Weren’t we supposed to have a relaxing week and get to know each other? Now we are seeking out legends that we were warned against.”“We are getting to know each other. I know if I do this…” Luca flicked my nipple with his finger, causing me to flinch. “… you will get aroused.” “Great. You know my body. What about my mind? Do you know me when the lights are on, too?” Luca
His jaw clenched as he closed the gap between me. The glass dropped from my hands, landing hard on the carpet at the same moment Luca’s hand wrapped around my waist. The other threaded through my hair at the base of my head, he yanked my hair. I was forced to look deep into his eyes. My breath got stuck in my throat as I read his emotions in his eyes. The more time I spent with him, the more I realized this was his way of showing his emotions. He wasn’t someone that spoke them out loud. No, he showed me how he felt. Right now, we both had so much frustration and nervous energy from almost losing each other, this was more about connecting again. I was done looking into his eyes. Grabbing the back of his neck, I pulled him down to me. It was like a switch went off. That’s all it took for him to slam his lips against mine. My core was instantly throbbing with need. I needed him in me, and I needed it now. Luca pushed me backwards until my legs hit the bed. Breaking the kiss, Luca put
When no one responded, she continued. “This thing was wild. The eyes were too big for a human, but not quite like a wolf.” She shook her head. “I didn’t get the best look. When I opened my eyes, it’s face was inches from mine. It screamed at me, throwing spit all over my face. It’s claws started thrashing as I tried fighting it off. I’m not sure what caught it’s attention. One minute it sliced my stomach open and screamed, and then it ran from my room. The spit was hot…almost spicy. Everything in me told me to run. I took a shirt and tied it around my stomach. That’s all I remember. I don’t remember running or even leaving my room. Next thing I knew, I woke up in Jared’s pack. They told me what happened and kept me safe.” I looked over at Luca. His expression wasn’t readable, but his emotions were everywhere. Mostly anger, but there was some understanding. “Did Jared tell you that you were sleep talking?” “He said it was like I was reliving things.” Heather tried to think back. “I k
Lilith cleared her throat. “Either way, you have received enormous support after the press conference.” She reached around and pulled out a vanilla envelope. Holding it out to me, she smiled a genuine smile. “Those are people who have reached out to contact you or commented on the interview you got.” She waited untilI opened it and pulled out pages of comments or emails. One by one, Luca and I read through them. “I think people just want to extend their condolences. Some I think you might remember and others just want justice for you. Either way, I was thinking it might not be a bad idea to hold a greeting party for everyone that has volunteered to help you out. Some have personal items or pictures of your family they want to give back to you.” Great, more people… However, maybe we might run into that woman and man again. If they were daring, they might come and mingle. “That is a big task to get done so quickly.” “It’s no problem, really. I just wanted the green light from you.”
I could tell Heath was uncomfortable as we made our way. He looked like he was wrestling with his emotions. Not that I blamed him, however, we did need to know what Heather actually saw. People were standing around, quietly watching the first house crumble to the ground. It didn’t take long before the roof completely collapsed. Embers scattered around before the wind took them into the sky. Something felt so right about watching the ash scatter around the forest. Luca put his arm around me.“How are you holding up?” He asked, in our mind-link. “I’m glad I said to burn it. This just feels right. Almost like a funeral when the ashes become one with the soil.” Resting my head against his chest, we just stood in silent.More people joined us. I could feel their presence around me. Silently giving me their support. “Do you want to do the honors?” A quiet voice walked up behind me. Looking back, he was holding out a match. “Are you ready for more?” He nodded. “This whole block, actually
“Not then. We found something when we were there yesterday.” I looked at Luca.“Demi had been poisoned and was passed out. Her memories came back as she was fighting off the effects of that. Either way, there is a creature out there that has protected her since she was little. It took us to some water and had me dive under it to a cave. When we followed it, we found humans. They were forcing a liquid into them, turning them into these creatures. No treasure, but something is going on here. I was able to spill the liquid, but two people showed up. We didn’t let a look at who it was. One man and one woman. Either way, we just got out and ran when you picked us up.”Everyone was quiet for a moment. “You didn’t think we needed to know this?” Rook was angry. That annoyed the shit out of me. “First off, I would like to point out that whoever killed my pack is still out there. I’m not sure how that fits into anything or if it even is a part of this. All I know is we are trying to figure out
