Austin looked over at the cackling triplets with an eyebrow raised and a look on his face that I could tell right away that he thought they were complete weirdos. I chuckled a little, knowing my brother wasn’t keen on them, which was great, because it meant one more person on my side. I was a little worried that he’d have been sucked in by Irene's witchy charms, but luckily, he hadn't. He strolled over to me and Shana, then placed his back against the wall between us, bending his knee to rest his foot on the breeze blocks. While sweeping his hand through his hair, he asked,“So what’s got them cackling? They’re giving me the heeby-jeebies.”I saw now why Irene didn’t have my brother under her spell. He was crushing hard on Shana. Spotting my parents coming in through the back door, I decided to use the opportunity to leave Shana and my brother to continue their flirting alone. Between the pair of them, they were making me queasy. She was twirling strands of her hair around her finger
My dad chuckled at my naivety, which pissed me off even more. Like this situation wasn’t bad enough, I didn’t need to be laughed at or treated like a child.“Kiddo, they’re in full-blown Alpha mode right now. You have no idea what they’re capable of. They’re running on pure animal instinct and that instinct is telling them that you’re their mate and we’ve taken you away from them. They’ll kill us all!”I stood in silence, glancing back and forth between my mom and dad. Their worried expressions didn’t waver and I found myself battling my own thoughts. I couldn’t believe that Chase or Jesse would kidnap me, or hurt me in any way, but seeing the way they had been manipulated by the spells painted on the walls, I couldn’t be sure of much anymore.I thought that leaving all that mess behind at Murston would have been a fresh start for me. I believed that Chase and Jesse would respect my decision and get on with their lives, and leave me to get on with mine. I never thought about their ani
I turned away and eyed up my exit route, then glanced back at everyone else. I was mentally working out if I could outrun them all. I knew I could kick Austin in the balls and give myself a good few seconds to get away from him, but I wasn’t sure if I could outrun a pack of wolves. I’d seen Chase's pack shift and it took anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute or two, depending on the person. I hadn’t seen my dad's pack shift; so, I could only guess that they’d take around the same time. How far could I get in that time? I was a fast runner, but was I fast enough? I couldn’t be sure, but I knew it was worth a try. I took in a deep breath and faced my brother.“Please forgive me, Austin.”“Huh? For what …” I pulled my leg back, then shot it forward, plunging my knee right into his crown jewels. “Argh!!! What the fuck!?” He cried out while cradling his nuts in his hands, before collapsing to the floor with a thud.I sprinted as fast as I could towards the door. I reached it within seco
After a large yawn and stretch, I rubbed my eyes before opening them. The gorgeous smell of pancakes and bacon filled my room and I couldn’t wait to get downstairs to stuff my face. I was unusually hungry this morning and I would definitely be putting my morning run back an hour or two so I could have breakfast first. There was no way I was missing out on mom’s signature breakfast; she made the most delicious pancakes.I threw my covers off and ran into my bathroom to pee, shower, and get dressed. I rushed through my hygiene routine because I didn’t want my food getting cold and I knew I couldn’t rock up to the dining table in my pajamas—my mom would never allow that. As laid back as she was normally, when it came to presentation, she was a drill sergeant. She always said that you never knew who could come knocking, so we always needed to look our best. Today was one of those days that proved her correct, because just as I made my way towards the stairs, there was a knock on the door.
I didn’t know whether I should yank open the door and confront the pair of them, sit back down and finish my breakfast, or run out there and straight up to my bedroom to cry my eyes out. I was feeling so many different emotions all at once that I couldn’t focus on just one at a time and be able to address it. The anger was bubbling up so much inside me, that it felt like I was a volcano just about ready to erupt. It was so overwhelming that my body began to shake and tears slid down my cheeks. I wasn’t crying as such; it was just like I couldn’t control my own eyes.On top of the anger, I was also feeling sadness and betrayal. I was so upset with the fact that my dad had set up an arranged marriage. I never thought he would go behind my back, let alone with something so important in my life. Getting married was a major step and commitment in someone’s life. I have always assumed that the decision as to when and whom I’d marry would be mine and mine alone. Especially since my mom had k
After shouting out about the two blonde wolves, I bombarded my mom and Austin with questions. "What happened?" I asked my mom but didn't give her a chance to answer. Turning to my brother I asked, "Do we know two blonde wolves?" He shot a worried glance at my mom, then shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I have met a bunch of our wolves and they're all brown or black like you, mom and dad," I said, and he nodded in agreement before glancing at our mom again. I knew that they were keeping things from me, but my family were experts at keeping secrets. I mean they kept all that Scion and werewolf crap away from me for my entire life. So, if they didn't want me to know, then I wasn't going to know. "Look, I know you're keeping stuff from me ..." I glared at the pair of them, then snapped, "again!". I hated the fact that they wouldn't tell me anything about the wolves in my dream, but their reactions told me all I needed to know. They were real. I dropped the subject as soon as my father
I shook my head, trying to shake his words from my mind, but it didn’t work. They swirled around and around like a tornado, throwing every other thought out of my mind, until I couldn’t think of anything else. I stopped shaking my head and sat there staring blankly at the wall. I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t even slept with Kyle, so why would I sleep with anyone else? I closed my eyes and put my fingers to my temples, trying to make myself remember what had happened at Murston, but my mind was blank.I huffed, while dropping my hands onto the bed. After lowering my head and opening my eyes to stare at the floor, I began to speak,“I'm really sorry, Kyle. I can’t remember what happened at Murston. I don’t even remember us breaking up. I can’t recall how I got there or what I did while I was there.”“I know. Your parents told me that they had to fill in the blanks after your accident, but you weren’t in contact with them much while you were at Murston, so they didn’t have much to tell
I was finishing up my shift at Aurora's bar and couldn’t wait to get off my feet because they were absolutely killing me. It had been a busy night and all I wanted to do was go home, take a bath, and curl up with a good book. As I stacked the last of the freshly dish-washed glasses on the shelf, I heard the bell chime at the front door. I rolled my eyes and huffed. It wasn’t the first time I’d forgotten to flip the closed sign around and lock the door before cashing up. Usually, I would have served the late customer one drink then send them on their way, but I was exhausted and couldn’t be bothered entertaining the drunks tonight.“I'm just closing up!” I shouted out, not even bothering to turn and look at who'd walked in.The guys were rowdy and paid no attention to my statement. They’d either not heard me, or chose to ignore me. Either way, they were getting kicked out, even if I had to ring Kyle and get him to come down and throw them out. To be honest, the customers were pretty go
I sat on the porch wearing my fluffy socks, fleece pyjamas, gloves, hat and a super soft grey blanket that I'd wrapped around me. Our beautiful winter was in full swing and Christmas was only a few days away. I had my hands around a large mug of coffee and took occasional sips as I gazed out over our immense snow-covered yard. Chase and Jesse, we're in the middle of a snowball fight with the kids and usually I would be joining right in with the festive fun, but being heavily pregnant meant lots of rest and sitting on my ass. I didn't mind though, I'd so can't the last few winters making snow angels and building snow men with the boys. So, it wasn't like I hadn't mad memories with them in their five years on this earth.We’d been through a lot, but life had been pretty perfect. Our relationship was sealed when I had the twins and even though we didn't know which kid belonged to who, Chase and Jesse didn't care and neither did I. We were a family and that's all that mattered. All the pa
The guys continued their game and every time I guessed the wrong guys touching or kissing my body, I was punished. From being whipped, slapped, and bitten, but how sexually aroused I was they didn't seem all that much like punishments. I didn't know if it was the heat or the fact that Jesse's sexual preferences had finally rubbed off on me. I was drenching the bed by this point and a knot had formed in my stomach from the insatiable need for them to ravish me. The treats I got for guessing correctly went from a kiss, to full on licking me out and even though I came a few times, I still needed more. I wanted them inside of me. My body wanted their seed. Chase was currently licking and gently hitting the inside of my thighs. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I knew my body had gotten to the stage that it couldn't take the teasing any longer, so I begged Chase.“Please! Fuck me!” My words were released on the end of deep breaths and those were the only words I could manage to get o
I’d been visiting Chase and Jesse at the medical centre where they’d been kept for a few days. When I first saw them, I was in complete shock. They were black and blue, and their faces were so swollen that I couldn’t even tell who was who. Fast healing was one of the things I definitely appreciated about our breed and with them being Sentinels, they healed even faster. Today was the day that they were both due to come home and I’d worked my ass off all morning making the house perfect for their return. I wanted them to come home and us get straight on with the mating ritual, because my heat was in full swing, but the packs needed to see them too. So, I let them organise a party for them. Of course, I couldn’t attend because of my excessive pheromone production. They had been under sedation when I visited them, and we made sure no male doctors or staff were around during my visits.We sorted it out that they would have the party at my parent’s pack house rather than ours, so I just had
I was thrown onto the bed and I still didn't have a clue who was with me. I prayed to God that it was Chase and Jesse, and that my what was in full swing so I wouldn't go bat shit crazy on them and literally bite their heads off like a praying mantis. I couldn't understand why we couldn't catch a break. If the universe or fates or whoever wanted us three to be mated together and be strong Sentinels, then why the fuck were they ripping out lives apart now? Maybe it was a test to see if we deserved to have this life and be together? It didn't matter, I was fed-the-fuck-up of dealing with all this shit. I just wanted an easy and calm life. Was that too much to ask for?Whoever had thrown me on the bed placed his hands either side of my legs and leaned over me, sniffing my hair and my face. His warm breath on my cheek made my skin crawl, and that was when I knew it wasn't Chase or Jesse. I had to think fast before they had their way with me. I could feel my Sentinel powers tingling in my
I yanked my hands away from the guys and just managed to jump out of my chair and dive across the room as the wild men launched themselves at me. They weren't themselves any more, their feral instincts had taken over them. I'd seen it once before my cousin was at our house for dinner with her new mate and he ripped the whole dining room apart trying to get to her. I was only a young teenager and it scared the crap out of me. When I bonded with Chase and Jesse, I never thought about coming into heat, especially not this soon. Usually, it takes around six months, but I forget that the women in our family come into heat early. Although, never this soon. It's been less than twenty-four hours for Christ’s sake, I haven't been able to enjoy them as the men I love.“Mom! I'm in heat! Help!”While mind linking my mom, I sprinted toward the basement door. Every pack house has a safe room and ours has a nesting room. We had it set up the way me and Jesse wanted it, bit I wasn't expecting to use
I’d managed to fall asleep somehow. How I did with all that anxiety and embarrassment running through me, I don’t know. When I finally awoke the sun was rising in the sky. I could smell the morning dew and hear the birds chattering outside. Their songs were sweet, some what enthusiastic and it bought a smile to my face. But the smile was short lived. As soon as I remembered our naked escapades, the embarrassment took over again. I wondered if everyone had left. Well, I hoped they had. I couldn’t bare to face my family or the packs this morning. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once back in my room, I didn’t feel like getting dressed properly so just pulled on some boyfriend style panties, then tugged on a pair of black three-quarter length leggings and a gray tank top. I finished the look with an over sized gray cardigan and a messy wet bun on top of my head.I could have easily of jumped back into bed and slept the day away, but something
Chase and I kept running through the trees like giddy fawns. We couldn’t believe how lucky we'd been. Irene turning up, right when we were trying to escape seemed like fate had planned it all out for us. It felt great knowing we had a higher power on our side. Sure, I knew that if Irene and her brothers survived the Soulderians, they'd hunt down Chase. She won’t let him go that easy. I mean if she was willing to sacrifice her life by fighting the black witches, there was nothing that could stop her from getting Chase back. The triplets had been running from the Soulderians all their life, so risking her own life and her brothers meant that she did Love Chase, in her own murderous and twisted way.If it went the other way and the triplets lost, I would be next on the Soulderians list and if they managed to extract the Titagel’s powers, I doubted that we stood much chance against them. They were power-hungry and beneath Irene and her brothers, I was classed as the next most powerful bei
I didn’t sleep well at all. The stone floor made places hurt that I didn’t even know I had. But when I opened my eyes and saw my crazy bearded soul mate, my pain didn’t matter any more. All that mattered to me, was getting us out of there. I sat up and stretched. My aching bones clicked and cracked and it felt good. My noise made Chase wake up.“Morning, babe,” he said sleepily.“Morning.”I knew he'd only just opened his eyes, but I needed answers and wanted to go over some ideas on how we could escape.“How do you remember me?”“Irene cast a spell so I could remember her, but it let me remember everything.” He sat up and stretched his legs out. With his back pressed up against the wall he continued, “I had to pretend that I loved her. She was highly jealous and killed any girl that showed interest in me.”“Oh God, Chase. I am so sorry you had to go through that.”“Well, it is what it is.” He turned his body to face me and pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. I faced
I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears, everything seemed to slow down and Shana's screams became deep and dragged out. I knew I had to do something but I had no idea what. Without even thinking about it, I ripped my hands away from my eyes and screeched into the air,“Stop!”Shana's screams ceased and all the cloaked men turned to face me. I glanced down at my hands and they had a glowing gold aura around them. Two of the men whispered to someone in a red cloak.“She's a Sentinel,” one said.“I thought they were a myth,” the other added.The red-cloaked man raised his hand to silence them, then approached me. When he reached me, he grabbed my face and turned my head from side to side, then stared into my eyes like he was looking for something.“Curious. You’re a very rare being, do you know that?”I yank my face out of his grip and slap his hand away from me. In a split second, he holds his hands up and red lighting shoots out of them sliding around my wrists and ankles like a
