Double update! The next chapter includes the power-sharing.
KALENHe made me feel stronger and more secure in who I was. He gave me a great deal of confidence too. How could I not feel sexy and strong when he looked at me like he did?Mom was right that he looked at me like I was his everything. He had quickly become mine too. I was not certain when or how it happened, but it was the truth. I could be without many things, but I could not be without him.I was nervous as hell right now but also extremely eager to solidify our bond. We still had things to figure out when it came to the pack and all, but that could be done later. I would need to discuss it with Maddox, but I figured that I would just make him a co-Alpha like the Nightshade twins and Shadow Falls triplets.“I’m going to still once I’m through your barrier until you’re ready for me to move. Just focus on my ladder piercings,” he told me with a smirk.My eyes probably lit up with that thought because it was something that I truly could not wait to feel. Having it in my mouth gave me
MADDOXI could not get enough of Beauty. Her scent, taste, the way her body responded to me, and how fucking incredible she was. It created a completely insatiable need for her. I was not the only one with that insatiable need though.We both lost count of how many times we came, completely lost within the haze of being with each other. Had I not been the one to take her virginity then I never would have guessed that last night had been the first time she had sex. I was not going easy on her either. She greedily took everything I threw at her and threw her own right back at me. She was a fucking vixen. I woke up before she did and took a few minutes to truly admire her beauty and the incredible gift that she gave to me – her heart. She placed her trust in me and gave it, and I would be damned if I ever broke it again. I would rather rip my own out instead and drop it at her feet as an offering.Might as well wake my goddess of a mate in the manner that I would prefer to always wake he
KALEN Dad called for a pack meeting before dinner so that we could announce Maddox as a future co-Alpha. Maddox had been taken aback by my offer of us being co-Alphas. He felt that he did not deserve it. He had been beaten down his entire life, so he never felt good enough for anything. He felt weak, but he was the furthest thing from that. He was strength incarnate. Look at everything that he had been through and survived in his life. Few could have accomplished that. When we were alone, he asked me why I would share the post with him. It was my birthright after all. Our situation was unique because most Alphas were male. Their mate would then become Luna. However, I never wanted to subject Maddox to the type of prejudicial hate that I faced all of my life. I honestly believed that this was the best path forward for our pack. There was an instinct inside of me that told me so. I really did not care what anyone else thought as long as Maddox was on board with me. “You ready to sho
MADDOXI could not get over the fact that a professional tattoo artist that owned his own shop wanted to give me a test run to see if I could perform to his standard. There would be a job waiting for me if it turned out that I did.My life had completely changed since Beauty came into it. Everyone from this pack that I had met thus far had been welcoming and kind. They did not care that I was a stranger. They made me feel like I was one of them. It made me emotional even if I never admitted it aloud.For the first time in my entire life, I was looking forward to the future and the possibilities that it might contain. Beauty had been nothing but supportive of me. I loved the idea that she presented about a class. The thought of leading it started to lead me down a dangerous path that was riddled with Calvin’s taunts, but I refused to allow him to continue having purchase in my life. So, I metaphorically punted his memory into a volcano, the closest thing to the flames of Hell.We got ba
KALEN I smiled as I watched Dad talking with my mate. It made me happy to see that Dad was taking him underneath his wing while also showing him what a good relationship with a father figure could be like. It meant everything to him, making it mean everything to me as well. The pack meeting last night went better than I had expected it to. I thought that it was a brilliant idea for him to weave the truth command into his questions for the guy who decided make accusations. At dinner, many people came up and welcomed Alpha Maddox. He was completely taken aback when he heard that, but he hid it really well. There were some shameless females who tried to get his attention by batting their lashes even though they were just made aware of our bond, but he easily put them in their places while reaffirming that I was the only woman who would ever get his attention. He even stated that any further attempts would be dealt with by me. That had all of them tuck their tails and scurry away. Onc
KALEN “Thanks for doing this,” I told Aunt Lucinda as she led us to the study. “No thanks necessary, libélula. That’s what family is for. I’m thankful whenever my gift comes in handy.” Libélula was her nickname for me ever since I was born. According to my parents, it was the first word that she spoke to me when she held me in her arms. Libélula was Spanish for dragonfly. There was a comfortable pallet done up on the floor once we got there with comfortable pillows and all. She had us get comfortable with me in between the guys. Uncle Sebastian and Matteo were also going to be in the room while we did our astral tango. The three of them would be monitoring everything. Worst case scenario, they could essentially eject us, bringing us back to our bodies. That would be only if something very serious happened because it had its own set of potentially dangerous consequences, which included being trapped in the astral plane. Then she explained how astral projection worked. She went thr
MADDOX I adjusted my collar for the twelfth time since I put this uniform on. Beauty seemed to appreciate what it looked like on me. It was specialized slacks and button-down. It was made to repel magic, which was really fucking cool. Never realized that I could have professional clothes that were also essentially a bulletproof outfit. Those would have come in handy in the past. She had licked her lips when her eyes trailed over the way that it contoured to my body. I was informed that I was required to keep this in our closet, to be taken out at any time that she deemed it necessary. The hunger that had been in her eyes made it easy to agree. I fucking loved her insatiable appetite. Never once had I found someone who could truly keep up with me, but it was because none of them were her. She was literally made for me after all. We were becoming adept at sneaking away whenever the opportunity presented itself. Could you blame us though? “How are you feeling about this, Madd?” Beau
MADDOX One moment we slung the fuckheads over our shoulders, and then we appeared inside of a large area that had a large U-shaped desk. There were two men that I assumed to be guards who stood up the moment they registered that they were not alone. “Your Highness,” they both said, respectfully bowing their heads. “Gerard and Daniel, it’s great to see you. I thought that you had today off because of your daughter’s birthday,” Zion said. It was odd to think that he was a Prince because he was so fucking down-to-earth and humble about everything. I supposed that showed his character because a title was more than just a title. It was a responsibility to protect and lead those under your charge. There was a multitude of perfect examples when it came to leaders allowing their position to go to their heads. One thing that I love about my mate was that she understood the amazing blessing and responsibility that came along with her being Alpha one day. A great example was when she told a
