AVAWe all relaxed by the river watching the waterfall for hours before we all started getting a little handsy.Theo pulled me to my feet, capturing my lips in a passionate, tongue-filled kiss, Noah stood behind me, his fingers trailing along my shoulders and down my back, sending a shiver down my spine.Callum and Oscar joined the bundle from my sides, both of them kissing down my neck. My skin was tingling all over, leaving me moaning between them at the sensation. “My Queen, my Kings?” Jeremiah’s voice cut through the clearing.I groaned, pulling myself out from the bundle.“Yes?”“I’m sorry to interrupt, my Queen. We’re very exposed here and it’s getting dark, I recommend we move back to the cabin.” He dropped to one knee, head bowed like he was expecting us to be mad.I could feel how uneasy he was at interrupting us, but looking after us is what I pay him for.“Jeremiah, stand,”I held out one hand to him, which he took and kissed the back of. “You’re just doing your job. Let us
AVAWe fell into bed after the first round, ending up with Oscar’s face buried in between my legs, Noah and Theo having their mouths on my breasts and Callum leaning over from above me, my head tilted towards him so he could devour my mouth. His fingertips were dancing down my neck, teasing along my collarbone.I tried to wind my fingers into Oscar’s hair, but Callum grabbed my wrists, pinning them above my head. I attempted to tilt my hips, grinding my core against Oscar’s face, but Theo and Noah’s hands just appeared on my hips, stopping me from moving.I was melting between them, dissolving into a puddle of desire and need. I moaned against Callum’s mouth, whilst fighting my body to keep still against the onslaught of sensations.Oscar curled two fingers inside me, pressing against that sensitive spot before adding a third finger and rubbing my clit with his thumb. He swirled his tongue around my opening where I stretched around his fingers, sucking and teasing until I whimpered as
AVAI meant exactly what I said.Dinner felt like it lasted an eternity, and by that time it was kind of socially acceptable for the five of us to dismiss ourselves… well. My Kings had been teasing me constantly. I had hands on my thighs, inside my t-shirt, dancing along the edge of my bra… the works. They definitely succeeded. By the time we finished dinner, I was dripping wet and more than ready for whatever the boys had all planned. And boy oh boy did they deliver on their promises.We woke up the next morning thoroughly sated, looking forward to another day to relax. It was a beautiful morning, truly beautiful.I was up first, as per, and when my Kings woke up, I was sitting in one of the chairs in the garden with a cup of coffee. I had a topic to broach with them today, and I wasn’t entirely sure what they were going to say… I knew, after all, that they were talking to Alpha Michael, even if I wasn’t supposed to know exactly why or what about.The five of us went for a run afte
AVAAfter that, I actually wanted to head home. I couldn't begin to describe just how badly I wanted my Kings to mark me again.I needed the closeness. I needed to feel safe.Home wasn’t a place anymore. It was the four of them. My Kings were my home.We headed back to the packhouse the next morning, reaching it in time for lunch. Of course they made me sit down and eat something before we could do anything else. And they insisted on making sure there was a doctor here just in case.“My Queen,” the doctor bowed his head slightly.“Hey, Doc.”“What can I do for you today?”“We just need you to hover in the pack house later on today in case we need you.”He raised one eyebrow. “Ava is insisting on us starting to redo the marks tonight, Doctor,” Callum interjected, voice sounding frustrated.“I see,” the Doctor nodded. “From a medical perspective, I don't see any reason for complications.” He gave me a small smile. “I would recommend waiting after the first one though, my Queen, just to
AVAWe knew it was very possible that the fourth and final marking could be rough. I even expected that I’d need to shift after.I was definitely right on that count. After Theo and I mated and marked, Artemis started freaking out. She was stressed and anxious because something wasn't right… but she also felt like she was a little power drunk. It was a strange, unpleasant combination.“I need to get outside.” I stumbled to stand, sprinting for the door. Once again, not even slightly caring that everyone in the packhouse would be seeing me naked.“Ava, wait!” Theo shouted from behind me. “You don’t have to do this alone.”He sprinted behind me, also not having gotten dressed. I heard another door slam as I ran, followed by the sounds of another three sets of footsteps.As soon as I was outside, I shifted, letting Artemis take the lead. As soon as she did, it was like my entire body just calmed down. It was the strangest and yet the best feeling.I could feel power coursing through my
UNKNOWNIt was a cold, cloudy night. The lands in between the pack territories were quiet as ever, there was hardly any movement, no animals moving through the trees, no wind tickling the leaves.The moon just peaked out as the clouds moved, but it wasn’t really enough to light up the forest. Without a wolf’s eyesight, it would be pitch black and incredibly eerie. It was so dark that even the slightest noise was amplified. A bird in a tree sounded like someone crashing through the undergrowth.A woman stood in the middle of no man’s land on the phone. She was silhouetted against the subtle light of the moon when the clouds shifted. She was standing tall, attempting to appear confident, but her posture and small movements said whatever the person on the phone was saying was cutting through her like butter.Whoever she was talking to was not happy, not happy at all.“I’m sorry, alpha… They… she marked them.” she whimpered.“THEY WHAT?!” The man’s voice was angry, absolutely fuming. “Wha
AVAWe’d just sat down for lunch the next day when Alpha Michael linked me.“My Queen, how are you and our Kings?”“We’re very good now, Michael, thank you for asking.”“Of course, my Queen. I need to speak to you about your pack, we’re having a problem with rogues again.”“Let me just invite the Kings into our link, Michael. Saves us both repeating it.”“Of course, my Queen.”As soon as the four of them joined, he greeted them all by name, his voice full of respect. It was actually kind of heart warming.“Okay, Michael. What’s been happening?”“We had multiple border breaches in the night, my Queen. I had already increased security following what happened on the full moon, so they were not successful. We have two of them ready to be interrogated, and the remainder were either run off or killed.”“Did we lose any wolves or Lycans, Michael?”“No, my Queen. We have seven in hospital with minor injuries, but they will all make a full recovery by the end of the day. They are simply in hos
AVAThe next two days were a blur of border concerns and all manner of other crap. On the third morning, I made a point of doing something normal. I got up at 5am to run with Alex and Kieran. Of course now I had a security escort, but they stayed far enough back that I could attempt to pretend they weren’t there. Not that it’s really possible to ignore the presence of Lycans. Alex beat us to the training ground; I hadn’t actually told him that I was planning to join him for this run.Kieran was standing in the middle of the training grounds when we got there, clearly having just shifted. He jumped and spun around at the sound of paws approaching him, his unease pouring off him at the sight of the Lycans behind me.Then he saw Artemis… and yipped happily.“Ava!” Alex shouted excitedly through the mind link. “I’ve missed running with you.” He suddenly stopped, before correcting himself. “My Queen.”I laughed. “Alex, you’re like a second adoptive father to me. In informal situations, a
