Chapter Nine
Ireland's POV
We head back to the pack house as it is getting late and I want to shower prior to dinner. I go straight to my room. I go to my closet and pick a mauve dress that falls just at my knees and has sleeves that go to my elbows. I don’t want to answer questions about the almost fully healed wounds right now. I strip off my clothes in the closet and walk out to my room. That’s when I see him lounging on my bed looking at me with a scowl. He looks so hot laying there in his jeans and shirt. His sleeves are snug on his biceps. “You're in the wrong room Oliver.” I state while tightening the robe around myself and making my way to the bathroom. I enter and turn on the shower about to take off my robe and step in. When all the sudden I am pulled tight to his chest. He buries his head in my neck and removes my robe. His hands resting on the small of my naked back sending sparks up my spine and down to my core. I instantly moisten.
“I can smell your arousal! I would take you right here and now and you would love it, you would scream my name again as I filled you.”
I am panting my thighs becoming wet with my juices, “then why don’t you?”
“Because you're a whore ready for me to take you here and now despite smelling like that mutt of yours and coming back from god knows where with my friend. I don’t like to share what is mine. I do not want some filthy mutts sloppy seconds.”
I shove him hard away from me. His back hits vanity. “Get the fuck out! You don’t even know me!” I turn my back and step into the shower. I wash my body and am cursing myself for letting him affect me. I am drying from my shower when I start to get the burning sensation. It begins in my lips, goes to my breasts then finally I feel extreme pressure at my core. I don’t have energy to divert this pain, so I am going to go in there and show both of them who is in charge! I burst into my mates room wrapped in my towel, my hair hanging wet around my shoulders. When I enter the room that is when I see my mate laying on top of Emilia in his boxers kissing her with his right hand rubbing her through her panties. She is moaning loudly. When I enter she turns to me, smirks at me and he turns and smiles at me devilishly.
“You're in the wrong room Ireland.’
“Is that so?” I slowly drop my towel “I guess I’ll go take care of this myself” I run my hand down the center of my body. In an instant I am up against the wall, his body pressing into mine. He starts kissing my neck, his hands running down my arms.
“I’ll help you take care of you.”
I can see Emilia looking very pissed off laying on the bed. “Oliver come back here with me, let me make you feel good.”
He takes one more sniff of my neck then turns to her with a cold expression. “Out!” He points to the door. He used his alpha tone and she hurriedly grabs her clothes and leaves.
He turns his attention back to me. He raises my hands over my head and uses one hand to hold them there. He starts traveling his other hand down to my breast. He starts rubbing and pulling on my nipple. His eyes are dark with lust. I get my hands free when he starts trying to use both his hands to grope my breasts while kissing my neck. I push him back on the bed and crawl on top of him. A growl erupts from his chest as I start grinding my wet core on his erection through his boxers. He grabs my hips and squeezes them. The friction is enough that I am barely holding on.
“Fuck your so wet and ready I can feel your wettness through my boxers”
I lean forward and press my breasts against his chest. I continue rubbing myself along his length. I moan in his ear and nip at it with my teeth. I start to cum I can’t hold it back, moaning loudly fighting the urge to say his name. He is moaning as well and no doubt itching to continue this. So I lean down into his ear. “ Oliver?’
“Yes Baby?”
I continue to ride out my high rubbing along him. “You wanna taste me, slide deep inside me and let me ride you til you cum inside me? Then let me lick you clean?
“Mhmmm, Fuck yes!”
“Then I guess you shouldn’t have been using your mouth and dirty hands to touch that poor excuse of a female.” Before he can say anything I jump off him and walk out the room. Belle is wanting to take over and mate so I close my eyes briefly and let her see the image of him on top of Emilia. She whimpers loudly in my head.
Emilia POV
I knocked on his door quietly. He lets me slip in, he only has a towel wrapped around his waist, hair still wet from the shower. He pushes me against the wall, he is about to kiss me but then his nose wrinkles up. “You couldn’t shower before coming here you reek of him.”
“I’m sorry baby but I think you are right I think she is his mate. She interrupted us and he kicked me out to be with that scum.”
He smiles wickedly. “Now we know his weakness and by the way he behaves in public he must believe her lie.”
“What lie?”
“That is not something you need to know but now I can get what I want. Now hurry up and leave I will meet you later but I don’t want anyone to see you leaving here.”
I leave the room begrudgingly and sneak back down the hallway.
Oliver POV
I run my fingers through my hair over and over again after I get myself dressed changing my boxers. The smell of her arousal hangs thick in the air of my room. Goddess I just want to fuck her at least once before I terminate this bond. I leave my room and enter the dining hall, she hasn’t arrived there yet so I sit down and begin talking with my father. I tell him how that strange wolf scent was smelt again by patrol this time closer to the pack house. He seems to not be concerned which is puzzling to me but when I go to question him about it he gives me a stern look. She enters the dining hall and I can’t help to feel annoyed by the way her scent relaxes me. She sits next to my mother and they start talking animatedly as she starts eating her food. She has not even looked at me and I am willing her too but nothing. I take her in because she looks beautiful. She is wearing a mauve colored dress that hugs all her curves. My fingers just itch to feel their way down her body again. She still won’t look at me and ever since that episode in my room I am dying to have her look at me.
“Ireland, excuse me for interrupting yours and my mothers conversation but there is going to be a bonfire tonight in the clearing just through the forest path if you and your friends would like to come?”
She quirks her eyebrow at me and gives me a small smile “sure I will need to change and ask my friends but we will probably meet you there.”
“I already talked to Jason he will be going.” Jackson speaks up. Why is he talking to her friends?
“Great then I guess I will see you there Oliver.”
I nod at her then begin talking to my friends about the bonfire and plans for the rest of the week. As I am talking to them she excuses herself from the table and makes her way to the stairs. I wait a moment and follow after to go to my room and get a jacket. As I am going up the stairs voices stop me. It’s Emilia and she is talking to Ireland.
“Listen here you Scum, I don’t know what your game is with Oliver but he is going to pick me to be Luna and when that happens you won’t be welcome on our lands human!” I wait for Ireland's response.
She laughs, then I hear a thud like someone hitting a wall “remember what I told you mutt this is the last warning talk to me like that again and I will cut out your tongue.” then the bedroom door closes.
As I continue to make my way up to my room. I can see Emilia trying to straighten herself; it becomes evident it was her that hit the wall. She smiles as I approach. “Hey I was wondering if you would like to walk together to the bonfire?”
“Go ahead without me.” That is all I say. She just lowers her head and continues down the stairs. The way she talked to Ireland has me irritated. Finn is in my head wanting to banish her right now for talking to our mate that way.
‘Who does she think she is? This is all your fault we should only be making mate Luna. we should not be allowing anyone to disrespect her!”
I shut him out. I am irritated as well though I don’t know why, I don’t want her right? I shake my head and grab my Jacket as I exit the room, her door closes as well. In just her jeans and low cut v neck t-shirt she is gorgeous. She gives me a small smile again.
“Thank you for inviting me and my friends.”
“It seems they already knew about it as Jason was gonna go so it’s no big deal. I hope you have fun.”
“Well I am sure Jason will be going with his mate regardless they don’t like being away from one another. I heard that is normal for mates however.” She whispers that last part with a sad look in her eyes. She turns and walks down the hallway and down the stairs.
I am frozen in place. I feel like I can’t move. The look on her face has my heart break slightly. Why does she have to be human? I could love her so deeply if only. Also I can’t help to feel a little excitement to hear that her friend Jason has a mate. I wonder who it is. All the sudden a hand claps down on my shoulder. I turn quickly and it's Preston.
“Ready to go?’
“Of course! Let’s get the party started.” I respond but my heart isn’t in it.
We arrive at the bonfire and the fire is blazing already. I see Ireland and her friends sitting on the grass laughing and joking. I am a little annoyed to see Jackson over there with them, is he trying to make a move on my Mate? I approach him and clear my throat “ Jackson you got a minute man?”
“Of course.” He gets up and follows me away from the fire.
“ What's going on man? I feel like I have hardly seen you and when I do you are always with Ireland and her friends. You're supposed to be my future Gamma.”
“Well Oliver the fact is I found my mate.” He looks down at his feet which he is shuffling. Shit he looked nervous. He better not that she’s his mate.
“She’s mine!” I say through clenched teeth.
“ Wow man it’s not Ire, it's Jason. I was afraid to tell you I didn’t know how you would react. You seem pretty traditional when it comes to mates especially since this is the first time you have ever referred to her by her name and not calling her human like it's a nasty word.” I can’t help but be completely surprised. Surprised one for the fact that he knows she is my mate, two that he is defending her and three that one of my best friends was afraid to tell me he was mated to a male.
“Look dude you're one of my best friends, I am happy for you. Being mated to another male wolf is different than being mated to a human who is weak. Plus Jason is one of the strongest warriors, he will be a great second Gamma.”
“There are a couple things you should think about Oliver. One Ire is not weak not at all she is loving and caring, she is strong so strong that even with your constant down talking she has encouraged everyone how great you will be as an Alpha. That with every way you have hurt her with your words and actions she still walks around with her head held high. Plus when she leaves Jason will probably leave which means I leave. Not because I don’t care or am not loyal to the pack, but mates are the most important gift the goddess gives you. You should ask yourself not what cursed you with a human mate but what blessing the goddess gave you with Ire as a mate.” He just turns and walks away.
His words play in my mind. Ireland leaving. That is not something I had thought about. I am surprised by the pain that brings to my chest. Finn is howling at agony in my head. Maybe she could be a blessing but she is human and that would weaken the pack.
‘She is a blessing she is beautiful. Just watch you will regret what you have done, I just hope we don’t lose her before you do’
‘Just look at her Finn over there’
That is when I start to watch her how she laughs so carelessly. How she wrinkles her nose at her marshmallow as it burns in the fire. How she talks with everyone around her and smiles at everyone. How the fire reflecting in her eyes makes them glow. Just then her eyes meet mine and a small smile crosses her lips but as she realizes it she disappears and she looks at me with such complexity I feel like she is looking into my soul.
Chapter Ten Ireland POV I am trying to avoid Oliver for the last 3 days since the bonfire and I caught him looking at me. It was like he was seeing me for the first time, it was kinda unsettling. He hasn’t been actively trying to talk to me either but I have caught him watching me from time to time. His interest in making me jealous with Emilia seems to be thinning as well though not for her lack of trying. The few private encounters I have had with him have ended with some very passionate kissing and touching. I wish I could say that his snarky comments about me being a weak human have stopped but of course they haven’t. As far as I know he still has the meeting with the elders scheduled so not much has really changed. I decide after a very tense dinner with Emilia trying to get Oliver’s attention
Chapter ElevenDark side of the Moon Pack Alpha POV“Come in” I grunt at the annoying knocking at my office door. My son enters not even looking me in the eyes. Coward. “What do you want and why are you daring to come here at this hour with the possibility of being found out?”“They think I am at a neighboring pack for the night looking for my mate. I have brought you something father.” He stretches out his hand full of clothes. I approach cautiously and take a big sniff.“You found her where!?” I can’t help but yell both in excitement and in irritation that it has taken nearly 3 years.“She’s at his pack fa...Alpha.”
Chapter TwelveIreland POVI went to the pack house and showered. Erik brought me some food before insisting to sleep on the oversized chair in my room. I told him he could sleep on the bed with me but he insisted that would not be okay with Oliver and he has enough to worry about with his mother. I can hear that he is asleep on the chair as I lay awake in the bed. I know he is as worried as I am that this wasn’t random rogues, that this was him, that maybe he has found us. I close my eyes trying to sleep, Belle is quiet trying to reserve her energy as the fight and silver wound have drained her. I wince as I regrettably go to tuck my arm under my head.I hear the soft click of the door next door. The shower comes on and Oliver steps into it. I breathe a si
Chapter ThirteenIreland POVI wake up and look at the clock it is only 6:30 am. I look at where Erik was sleeping and see it vacant. I lay awake and think of what happened last night. It is obvious I am not going to be able to fall back asleep, my arm is still throbbing.‘Belle are you there?’‘Yes Ire I’m just trying to rest and get my energy back so we can help Lil and Ivy’‘Were you able to communicate with Ivy last night at the cabin or the hospital?’‘Yes Ire for a little while but she was in a lot of pain. Hopefully she is a little better so we can help her.’‘Agreed, I am just worried about t
Chapter FourteenIreland POVI know he planned on rejecting me but his words still hurt. My friends knew I found my mate well except for Zander and Lilly but obviously he is lying to everyone. Lilly! The thought of her in the hospital bed hit me hard. I eat some food hoping to gain my energy back.‘Belle are we ready to help Lilly she needs to join the festivities?’ I laugh to Belle.‘It will really drain us but let’s go Ivy and Lilly need us.’I pull Erik and Jason aside and let them know my plan to help Lilly. It is about 3 in the afternoon if I get there quickly she can join the activities. I know this will bring Oliver some happiness. He looks so stressed. He will be so happy to see h
Chapter FifteenIreland POVPain excruciating pain more than I have ever felt trying to heal anyone wakes me up. I cannot help the screams ripping through my lips. In an instant Erik is at my side, holding me in his arms. My body feels like it is ripping apart from the inside. The pain is in my heart and in my lower abdomen. I don’t have energy left to block the pain and the only thing that can cause this sort of pain is ‘Mate he is inside another female’ Belle is crying loudly in my head. I cannot stop the tears that are streaming down my cheeks.“What is wrong lollipop? Please I want to help” Erik is rocking me back and forth.Only one word leaves my lips
Chapter SixteenJackson’s POVI hate being away from him even if it is just going to be temporary. I know he will return with them in a couple of weeks for the full moon but it hurts. I feel uneasy all the time and I don’t know if it is my feelings of being away from him or something is going on with them. I wanted to go with them but Ire no matter how broken he made her feel, said he needed me and that Jason would return and then he would stay by my side where he belonged. I trust her completely especially since she told me more about her because her trust in me grew.He is one of my best friends and I am trying hard not to avoid him but when I see him smile I can’t help but see the brokenness he created in her. I want to hit him when he laughs because he is the r
Chapter SeventeenIreland POV“It is too dangerous!” Erik shouted“Don’t you think that of all people I know the dangers? I am tired of living in fear. Our lives could be so different if I didn’t live so afraid. Your life could have been so different, you may not have been rejected if it was not for me.”“Don’t take that on Ire if she could not love me she could not love me she only cared about status.”“ We could ask for help” Jason added, not wanting to continue the conversations about mates as he was away from his.“You will just not yet. This I have to do alone for now. The trai
This journey for Ireland and Oliver is over. Thank you all for your support and love. Below is the first chapter of my book Living With His Mark. This will be Olivia's story. I hope you all enjoy! I will not mark this book as complete until all editing is complete.Chapter One-(Olivia POV)It’s days like today that I truly hate being a werewolf. My name is Olivia Silvers. I am the 19 year old daughter of Alpha Oliver and Luna Alpha Ireland. I have had an amazing upbringing despite my parents' early stressful beginning but I have always felt loved and I have two great packs who have always treated me well. I had never wanted for anything and despite my gifts and my family's gifts I have had no reason to not trust those around me. My parents always cautioned me and my brother to be careful who we trusted. I guess I never learned because here I am hating all that I am because I trusted the wrong wolf.
Chapter Sixty-Four Oliver POV (present time) I am sitting here watching the mating ceremony of Chris and Sophie trying to keep my eyes on anyone but her as she leads the ceremony. I can hear the subtle sadness in her voice and it pierces my heart. I want to run up there and hug her but I don’t deserve it. I know she would only push me away with disgust. I can’t control it when I look up at her as she talks about the sacredness of mates and the future of the pack. I don’t miss it as she subconsciously presses a hand to her now flat empty wound. My eyes drift to where her hand lays before I divert them again. I have been avoiding her both out of respect and fear. I don’t want to bring her anymore pain and fear of what words she may say to me. Many times I have wished I could go back in
Chapter Sixty-threeOliver POV(continued Flashback)I can’t believe what happened, my “chosen” Luna was just identified as my mate's chosen Alpha mate. This has to be some sort of sick joke. I am angry at how Ireland ran off after him. Does she really love him so much that she would go to be with him after he found his mate? Then again I didn’t choose my mate in the beginning and I made so many mistakes. My mother and I have been trying to calm Sophie down. Evelyn has come and got Olivia so she didn’t have to see the breakdown.“He’s...he’s gonna reject me. My mate is going to reject me.”“Dear now we don’t know
Chapter Sixty-TwoIreland POVIt’s been a long 3 months and I can’t help the butterflies I feel in my stomach as I get ready for the ceremony. This ceremony has really been long overdue trying to prepare for night through all the challenges. A soft knock on the door interrupts me from my thoughts, I go answer the door and engulfed into a big hug. I pull back and a soft smile reaches my lips as I look at the smile on Chris’s face.“You ready for tonight?”“Never been more ready for anything.”“I’ll see you down there.” Chris responds then hugs me again and places a quick kiss on my forehead before retreating from the doorway.&nb
Chapter Sixty-One Ireland POV I couldn’t help but feel guilty about what happened yesterday afternoon. I am supposed to be pledging myself to Chris in just a few days but I let Oliver kiss me and I let my mind think things could get better. I let myself think that maybe there could be a life together for us. It was just a brief minute that I allowed these thoughts to invade my mind but they still did before that she-wolf ran up and hugged and kissed him. Chris does not deserve for me to think about a life with someone else he has always been there for me more so than my ex mate. I felt so guilty here I am right after breakfast making him his favorite Lemon blueberry pound cake for after lunch. I wasn’t even able to look him in the eye during breakfast. He hasn’t pressed a
Chapter Sixty- Ireland POV Well I guess the truth is out. He deserves to know the truth but I feel so defensive I can’t imagine that this would go well right now with emotions so high. I look at him on his knees looking so vulnerable and I approach him slowly. I have this need to comfort him and I don’t know why. Before I can reach him he looks up at me with so much anger in his eyes “EXPLAIN!” The anger in his eyes sets me off. He has no room to be angry. If anyone has any reason to be angry it is me. “What do you need explained?” I seeth back. “FUCK IRELAND! Everything needs to be explained. Is she mine and how is that possible and why did you hide it from me.” “Lower your voice.” I
Chapter 59- Ireland POV “I see Belle is back to arguing with you again.” Jason chuckles “Well Jay you know she always likes her opinions known.” I let out a small laugh. I looked around the room. Erik had a guilty look on his face and Jackson and Jason were just looking at me. Oliver however just continued staring in the direction that Chris had left. An unreadable emotion showed on his face. “Alpha Oliver, I apologize for that. Chris will be back shortly.” He just nods slightly, turning his gaze back to me. Chris entered the room wrapping his arms around me from behind resting large hands on my pregnant belly. He kissed me lightly on the cheek. I couldn’t stop myself from looking over to Alpha Oliver who now had his head hanging l
Chapter Fifty-Eight Oliver POV Two Weeks Later When I had returned from my run that night after hours of Finn howling at the moon, I found Sophie in the living room gripping the letter I had dropped when I ran. I was surprised to find her even more eager to meet this Alpha Ireland who had so unselfishly sacrificed herself to save her people and mine. She held me while I cried again telling her the story about my mate and everything I had done. Sophie had never judged me for trying to kidnap Ireland all those times or for how I felt. She admitted that she herself was developing feelings for me though rather slowly and thought it best we start as friends. She encouraged me to reach out and to go to the ceremony to see if Ireland was truly happy now so I could let go. She
Chapter Fifty-Seven Erik POV The fighting has officially ended, I was able to capture Evelyn’s father without injury even though he put up a good fight. The joy in both his and my mates faces when they saw each other was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He met with Ireland and pledged his loyalty and his hunters to her for what she did saving his daughter. He was excited to meet his grandson. I dreaded leaving them but I needed to check on Ireland and Chris they went to the pack hospital to check on Alpha Oliver. I am approaching the hospital when I see all hell breaking loose. “Throw the traitorous Bitch in the dungeon!” I look at Oliver barely walking out of the hospital pointing at Ireland. Jackson and Jason are trying their best to talk sense into him. The g
