Quinn POVI walked into Thomas’s office and was surprised to see Kat huddled with my parents and Thomas, near the large oak desk. I thought seeing all of them together would be weird, however surprisingly, it felt normal. There was something different about Thomas and Kat’s auras. A slight gasp of delight expelled from me when I noticed the mark on Kat’s neck. The matching mark reflects on Thomas’s neck. I squealed, “Yay! You finally marked each other!” I squeezed Thomas into a big hug before embracing Kat, who was blushing.“I told you she would be excited babe.” Thomas said to Kat before pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Excited is an understatement!” “Are we chopped liver?” My mom asked in a teasing tone.I smiled and hugged my parents who both pressed a kiss to my head. Sam entered the room holding a large rolled up piece of paper. Behind him entered Elan, who gave me a soft smile as they approached. Laying out the paper on Thomas’s desk, a large map of the pack territories i
—Quinn POV I excused myself from the room. Needing a breather. As I leaned on the wall outside of the office, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I pressed my hand on top of the sapphire and I could have sworn it helped calm some of the noise in my head. A giggle from the other room caught my attention, snapping me out of my thoughts. I walked to the living room to find Derek holding a red dinosaur while using an animated voice. Ryan giggled at the voice Derek was using and moved Charles in the air like he was flying. My heart melted at the sight. ‘You will have a pup of your own my sweet girl.’ Seline’s sweet voice filled my mind. ‘You think?’‘I know. Just me.’ Her tone held finality. Derek seemed to sense my presence, making him turn at the waist to smile up at me. I must have not been doing a great job about schooling my feelings because before I could say anything he stood up and wrapped me in his arms. He kissed my temple. His scent and touch soothed my anxiety. “Hey
Quinn POVDerek kissed me hard as he stroked his length before sitting back on his heels. His eyes devoured my naked body. He lined himself with my entrance and slowly pressed the head of his cock in. I squirmed at the intrusion. “Breathe Quinn. I promise it will feel good soon.” His voice was gentle, soothing my anxiety. He moved fully on top of me, capturing my lips as one of his hands traveled between us to rub my clit. I moaned at the sensation and stopped focusing on the burn I felt as his cock stretched me. I wrapped my arms around Derek’s neck, needing him closer. He slowly pushed in further allowing me to get used to the feeling. “Derek…I need…” My voice was breathless and unable to create a coherent sentence. Derek braced himself on his elbows as he shoved his length inside me to the hilt. I cried out from part pain and part pleasure. He didn't stop rubbing circles on my clit as he began to piston my pussy. The pain shifting to immense pleasure. The sounds of heavy bre
Quinn POVI wasn’t sure how long I had been knocked out for. Slowly I opened my eyes and immediately regretted my decision when a piercing pain shot through my skull. I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut, willing the pain to ease. Voices of people in the room were magnified, making my ears hurt. I was in sensory overload, making my wolf uneasy. “She’s waking up.” I heard a familiar voice say. “Quinn baby, we are right here.” I heard my mother’s voice say a second later. I smelt the familiar scents of my mom and father, however Thomas’s was noticeably not present. My eyes slowly came into focus as I opened them. I was in an all-white room. The air smelt sterile making me scrunch up my nose. A dull beeping sound connected to what looked like a vital machine beeped every few seconds. I was no longer half naked like I was before. Instead, an oversized blue hospital gown covered my body. My parents, Rachel, and Mandy were in the room. All of them looking exhausted and pale. “Where…whe
Derek POVI wake up with my arms suspended above my head. Pain like I've never experienced before takes over me. I attempt to reach out to my wolf, but all I get is static. Wherever I am, it has muted my wolf, making it impossible for me to heal. I try to lift my head to figure out my surroundings. It takes a minute to realize that I am not in a room, but a cave. The air smells of mildew and body odor. My arms are suspended with a chain nailed in with a metal bar to the cave’s rock wall. Across the cave I see a smoldering fire with a large pot above it, reminding me of a cauldron. I take in my appearance as much as I can. I am buck naked as the day I was born. I internally curse, immediately noticing the cool temperatures in the cave. I startle when a gravelly voice echoes through the cave. “Oh joy, you are awake.” The woman’s voice sounded like she smoked 1,000 cigarettes. Across the cave, I see an older woman walking with a limp to me. As the figure gets closer I start to see how
Quinn POVIt takes the doctor only a couple of minutes to rush Sam into another hospital room. My mind is feeling dizzy from my panic. Derek has been taken by someone who is supposed to be dead.Sam was unable to give us any more information before he passed out from his injuries. I try to reach out to my bond with Derek but all I get is silence and a sense of dread. The feeling only intensifies as I breathe. I begin to choke, my breath feeling like it is being taken away from me. “Quinn, Quinn what’s happening!” I hear the panicked voice of Mandy. I claw at my throat trying to remove whatever is taking my air away. Just as my vision begins to tunnel, the vice around my throat vanishes. I gasp as I try to catch my breath. Sucking in as much oxygen as possible. I feel my mother’s hand rub my back as my breathing starts to regulate. “What just happened?” I croak out. “I think it was your bond.” Rachel says matter-of-factly. My eyes widen at her words, knowing that she is right. I
Quinn POVMy body felt like I was on autopilot as I got discharged from the pack hospital and headed home. I continued to reach out for my bond but got nothing in return. The silence was maddening. I felt Seline whimper and pace in my head, also feeling uneasy at our missing bond. ‘We will find him, Seline.’ I tried to soothe her. All she was able to respond with was a whimper and cry. The sound made my heart sink into my stomach. After we got back to the pack house, Kat had put a shield up around the property adding an extra layer of protection. Thomas and my mother were in his office finalizing the plans for the alliance ceremony with Anna’s beta, Aaron. The ceremony was planned to happen tomorrow. My father was speaking to Ryan to fill him in the best he could about what was happening. It was decided that my family would stay in the guest house on the back side of the property while Rachel and Frederick stayed in one of the guest rooms. Elan was working heavily with Sam on a task
Anna POV18 Years Ago:Alpha Deccan was one of the most powerful alliances my pack had. Up until this point I never had to worry about any problems with him. My father always had a great relationship so that passed it down to me. I wasn’t worried about the alpha meeting with all of the surrounding alphas until it dawned on me, Rowan was Deccan’s brother. They had an estranged relationship due to drug trafficking; However, blood was blood.I remember when I was a young girl that my father had stressed to me to never be on Deccan’s bad side as his power was unlike any other werewolf. He was known to be able to demolish his enemies in minutes with no effort at all. His mate was a powerful witch. When she died it had weakened his human form but strengthened his wolf. Every time he shifted; he risked not being able to transition back to his human form as it fueled his wolf’s power.Anxiety and worry filled me as Dean took a seat in the row in front of me. I didn’t want to cause any more is
