I was a bit surprised at the demand and urgency of his kisses. His huge hands caged me into the hard mounds of his body.His hands around me were a bit shaky and I could sense fear and desperation from the emotions he pushed into the kiss. What could he be afraid of that'll cause his hands to tremble like a leaf in the wind?For every step Jace took forward, I took a corresponding one backward until I was sandwiched between him and the wall, his body pressed against my growing stomach. One hand cupped my face, raising it enough for him to have better access to my lips.I returned his kisses with the same fervency, my hands curled around his neck and my fingers woven in his thick mane. My body tingled where his roaming hands touched, and the butterflies in my stomach erupted with joy as they fluttered their wings flying around as if they paid rentals for a display space.My hands traveled to his wide masculine shoulders as I pulled him closer trying to feel the emptiness I felt in hi
JACE BALDWIN'S POV I used all the restraints and self-control I could muster to not take this woman who was offering herself to me. From the second a coy smile curled on the little vixen's lips, I knew she had realized the effect her little grinding stunt had on me. My fingers dug into the exposed flesh of her waist as I held her in place, forcing her waist to stop its relentless moves."Are you sure you can't?" She whispered, her lips brushing feather-light kisses on mine sending jolts of electricity through my body, her left ring finger lightly traced my triceps."Carly,-" "Yes, Alpha."Carly purred, sucking the bottom of my lips before pulling back not giving me the chance to finish the words that got lost in my throat. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the moan of pleasure that vibrated from my chest, causing her to pull me closer to her."You must have been stressed from the sudden attack by the outlanders, allow me to release your stress." The heat in the honey-br
"Julian?" Her eyes danced with unbelieve effectively losing the hot and hateful glare that dominated her eyes a while ago. I was a bit distracted by the sight of her in my white collar dress shirt that fell like a dress down to her mid-thigh. Her smooth skin teased my eyes as it glittered in the bright light that shined from the ceiling.For the first time, I was happy to see my clothes being worn by someone else. The white material of the shirt complimented her skin and body as though it was made just for her. I wanted more than anything to pull her in for another round of kisses and never let go. I wanted to lose myself in her, knowing she would guide me back, like a small spark of light in the dark."Are you being serious right now?" She said in between laughs, snapping me out of my reverie. Her small hands shoved me away from her. "Julian? All this 'I can't' was about Julian and here I was thinking it was about your fidelity to a fiance you've already cheated."She scoffed, maki
CARLY WOODS POV The sound of plates and utensils clanking in the kitchen reached my ear as I sat silently in the living room gazing into my phone that was on the dial. It was weird that I didn't find any tangible information about this mystery wolf in any books. What was going on? I had a feeling someone took the initiative to rid the library of any book that mentioned the earth wolf. I was sure enough to bet my entire wardrobe of no fancy dress. I felt bad for the not-so-lucky woman who was blessed with the earth powers because the number of perverted and selfish men who wanted her was enough to make up a little pack. "To what do I owe this pleasant phone call?" The deep male voice that I was slowly getting used to resonated from the other end of the phone. "I thought maybe I should call to find out how many pieces those rogues ripped from you yesterday." I smiled, leaning back into the warm couch, my free hand rubbing the still-growing bump in my stomach, clear evidence of t
CARLY WOODS "Do Omegas moan when they're having sex?" Addison Cobbler, aka 'Pack Slut' burst forth in laughter almost spilling her mouthful of Bourbon. I trained my gaze on the task of pouring bourbon neat into the glasses by the bar not daring to look in their direction. "How about Nate answer the question?" Ophelia, her super bitchy best friend giggled swatting Nate's bulged arm. Gamma Nate and I were fated mates but he rejected me on the spot a few months ago. He was embarrassed of me and his squad didn't hesitate to tease him over it. Hating my life, I took the drinks from the bar closer to the most powerful squad in the Brookside Pack in the private club where they hung out once in a blue moon. "How about Alpha Jace clear this doubt?" Alpha Jace's caramel blond head snapped from his phone at Addison, his girlfriend's smirking face. "It's a dare sweetheart," the drunk girl chuckled, "I'm allowing you one night of liberty before our wedding. This lowly runt is all y
ALPHA JACE Despite my best efforts to ignore this Omega she did things to heighten the burn in my loins. A chuckle almost left me as I watched her shrivel under the duvet pulling it above her head. Fighting the sting in my chest, I propped up on one arm to watch her still body, pretending to be asleep yet, her heart thundered in my ears. "What is your name?" I tugged the duvet from her flushed face. Her big brown eyes fluttered open, met mine, and instantly averted hers to beddings before she sat up causing the duvet to drop to her waist. "Carly." I'd never seen such luscious lips, skin that begged my hands to touch. Tits molded to scramble a lesser man's brain. Honey brown eyes cluelessly searching my face. This omega was such a sexual fantasy yet Nate chose to look the other way. I had studied her the entire night as she served, her innocence gave her an air of being off limits—to bastards like me. "Don't do that again." I sounded harsher and louder than intended.
CARLY WOODS "You don't look good, are you sick?"Mia, my best friend, observed as she loaded the dishwasher. I yawned, shook my head, and wearily rubbed my eyes. My mind became the worst place to be in. The previous night haunted my mind with guilt and fear. I should've been warned about the guilt that accompanied a reckless night. He marked me. Alpha Jace marked me. It happened in the heat of our recklessness. He never would want me. I knew the Alpha didn't want me yet I chose to act shamelessly. The handsome Alpha was getting married in the next full moon and I only wanted to sate my sexual curiosity. I did and it felt way better than I'd imagined it would be. Why couldn't things feel as easy as this?I heaved a sigh and worked on plucking the bird for lunch. "Did Mr. Harold yell at you?" Mia prodded. Mr. Harold was the head of the Omegas around here and the least of my problems at the moment. Jace being much sober that noon would never entertain rumors flying around the pa
CARLY WOODS"I need the test results this second." Jace's hardened face and eyes were solid on the doctor's face. I sat ramrod straight in the vast office, staring blankly at the stout doctor who walked in from the lab with the test results in hand. "It's positive, right?" Jace looked more eager to know the result—too eager to get a positive than I ever could be. But why?He made it clear he didn't want anything to ruin his big day but why this attitude?"Congratulations," the doctor gave a brisk smile that didn't meet his eyes. The congratulations wasn't directed at me but to the grim-faced Alpha which made him seem to relax for the first time that evening. "That can't be!" I countered springing to my feet. "I can't be pregnant!" A teenage and an unwed Mom was so out of the equation. "That's impossible, run the tests again." My tone faltered with my empty gaze on the papers handed to me by Dr. Walters."We'll be on our way now."Jace snatched the results from my quivering hand

"You're more than one I guess," I muttered, shaking my head in amazement and displeasure at the level of disloyalty members of Jace's pack displayed. "More than-? What do you mean?" "What's more than one?" Mia and Stephanie asked at the same time, their confused heads whipping in my direction. The confusion on Mia's face soon morphed into anger and betrayal before it finally settled on a frown. "You ain't keeping anything from me, are you?" Mia growled, her eyes dilating into a burning yellow which signifies her anger and hurt. "Nothing," I rushed out, glaring at Stephanie. "That didn't sound like nothing to me, and if I'm correct you have information on who is rattling out the pack to those red eyes creates." I shrugged, glaring at Stephanie before glancing at a glaring Mia who just snapped out from the visible fear she was trapped in a second ago and was now staring at me as if I had the words of life and longevity. "Well? What did you mean by 'you're more than one?' And
The curly-haired man who introduced himself as Stan drove Stephanie, Mia, and me away from the coffee shop to a secluded neighborhood I never knew existed in the pack lands. Well, there were many places I didn't know of.I looked out the window trying to figure out my location but nothing was familiar as we were surrounded by bushes and tall trees."Where are we going?" I tried not to sound as nervous as I felt about Stephanie and Stan."We're going somewhere safe and away from the North.""Why are we going away from the North?" Mia asked, her hands trembling from fear of rogues ambushing us in the secluded part of town. "We have more warriors up North and where we're going right now looks to me like warriors would rather get to guard the prison than here.""You are right, kitten. That's why rogues would rather go where they'll feel fulfilled after killing a warrior than snapping the neck of a weak and defenseless wolf. An arrogant rogue leader will send his goons to take down the str
CARLY WOODS POV Mia and I walked into our favorite coffee shop with huge smiles on our faces. We usually visit here whenever we have enough time at our disposal, and today was one of those days we had nothing on our plates thanks to Julian who made sure Mia didn't slave herself around for anyone anymore."What is she doing here?" I whispered to Mia who was busy scanning the menu for what to order before the wait staff got to our table. That was going to be a while because they had just two people waiting at the tables.My eyes were trained on the woman who sat in the middle of the same men she usually hung out with. The raven-haired woman had a huge smile plastered on her face her face moving back and forth from the men talking."Who are you talking about? Who is here?" Mia's voice conveyed the confusion she felt, her head rotating around the room with curious eyes."Stephanie, Stephanie Lachlan," I whispered so her super wolf hearing wouldn't pick up on the sound of her name.I was
"It's not my fault I was outnumbered and you know it, anyone could be easily ambushed and swamped by the outlanders, skills, and strength notwithstanding." Addison snapped, pushing her dirt-stained hair behind her ear, her clothes muddy and rumpled due to how rough she was treated by those vile men. "If you had gone to the safe house you would never have been ambushed by a trio of perverted men who were ready to tear up every bit of your soul and sanity," I growled, the unconcerned expression on her face made me more furious at her. "Do you have any idea what those men were about to do? You don't look the least bit worried about what I interrupted." What the fuck was wrong with this woman? "Good thing you came when you did right? You're getting worked up over nothing babe, you came on time and nothing happened. I can't sink myself into the pit of depression over something that never happened." "You're unbelievable," I muttered walking away from her. Seven of my men had gone dow
Addison winced from the impact of their tight grips on her as they pushed her down against the hard ground. "Do y'all know who I am? You'll regret ever putting your hands on me.""Shut the fuck up bitch!" The man that stood by her right growled, his eyes darting back and forth between the buff man's lifeless body and my bloody hand. My face was void of any emotion as I started moving towards his fidgety men and a frightened Addison who was trying to put up a tough front. The fear in her eyes made my heart ache at the pain they inflicted on her. She wasn't strong enough to take on three well-trained rogue warriors on her own. I was both pained and pissed at the same time, my heart went out for her while my rage was channeled to the three men who had their filthy hands wrapped around her like a souvenir. I was also pissed at Addison but now wasn't the time to dwell on her senseless pride and foolishness. I gave a command for her to stay and protect the children and the elderly at t
