Brianna (POV)I was sitting up watching something on TV when Chase walked in. He smiled at me when he saw me sitting up.“How are you feeling, babe?” He asked me kissing me on top of my head.“Still sore. But I can at least sit up now without help.”He walked around the bed to the other side sat down and took off his shoes and socks before sitting next to me. “What are you watching?”I looked at the TV, saw a flying dragon, and realized I had no idea. I was only watching just to have something to do. I paused it to check the name. “Dragon heart. It’s on Netflix.” I said out loud and pushed play.“You like dragons?” He asked watching the movie with me.“I have seen this movie years ago.” I begin, Then I laughed at a memory. “I used to pretend I was a princess in a castle and imagined a beautiful red dragon turning into a handsome prince that would rescue me from a bad knight.”He smiled but didn’t laugh. As I watched him, I noticed something strange about his expression. I frowned at h
Chase (POV)“She knows.”“She what?” Gailan says frowning.“Are you serious?” Mitchell all smiles.“It’s about time.” Says Gabriel after I tell my brothers that my mate knows about us.“I agree with Gabe.” Says Lucas.“We had a long talk and I found out some interesting things about her.” I was in my study on my desktop on skype with my brothers. “One I found out she had of all things as a little girl, a red stuffed dragon that was her favorite toy.”“That is so ironic.” Says Lucas, “It is like somehow she knew about you even before meeting you.”“I know. And she used to play that the dragon was the good guy and a secret prince to save her as the princess in danger. Tell me if that is not a coincidence or what?”“Sounds like you were not the only one with the gift,” Mitchell says with a wink.“So how did she handle the news?” Gabe asked.“Better than I expected. It helped that she believes that earth isn’t the only planet with life on it. It also helped that she was watching a movie a
Brianna (POV)I decided to check for messages on my new phone that Chase picked up for me and reactivated my same number. I appreciated that gesture as my other phone was destroyed the other day. I find I had a lot of text messages and as I was going through the messages a new one popped up. It was from an unknown number. I read it and gasped in surprise.Bri, meet me at this address at 10:00 am or you will never see that boyfriend of yours again. I know where he works and I have a guy keeping watch on him. So, NO funny business.B.I know who B is and with all that has happened, I know he meant what he said. I sucked in a shaky breath and texted back.I will be there. Just don’t hurt him.I input the address on my phone GPS and thought to myself, that it was a good thing I had not taken my pain meds. The pain was less today so I was putting it off for when I absolutely needed it. I slowly climbed out of the bed and tested my legs as I stood. So, far, so, good. Just a slight dizziness
Chase (POV)I drive to the address and see Brianna’s car parked next to an empty warehouse. I can’t help but wonder how Ben got Bri to come here alone. I felt my dragon getting riled up. He wanted to save his mate as much as I do.I park next to Brianna’s car and got out of my SUV. I walk to the open and very empty building. “Hello? Ben?” I say as my voice echoes around the empty place.“Nice of you to come.” His voice echoes back around the building.“Where is she?” I growled. “I know she’s here.”“Of course, she is. But you won’t be around to see her.”At that moment someone snuck up behind me but with superior hearing, I heard him in time to turn around and duck before he could hit me. I grabbed his arm, and he dropped the hammer that he tried to hit me with.As I held the man’s arm I shout, “Is that your plan? To kill me and get me out of the way? Do you think she will want you?” I was angry now and my dragon was close to the surface. “I will warn you; you won’t like what happens
Brianna (POV)After we stripped each other naked. He lifts me and puts me on the bed. “Are you sure, you are well enough for this?” He asked concern in his eyes.“Yes, I am sure. I want you.” I said clinging to his neck and kissing his face.“There is a way I can heal you faster.” He said breathlessly as I continue to torcher him by grabbing his hard cock in my hand.“How?” I said looking at him.He grinned, “I can mark you. My teeth have a venom that can heal you and you as my mate can never become sick or hurt again.”“Really? Have the other mates been marked?”He shakes his head, “I have no idea. Probably not. But I am sure in time my brothers will.”I smile. “Then mark me, my love. Make me forever yours.”He smiles as he kisses me passionately invading my mouth with his tongue and tasting his smokey flavor. He moves to my cheeks, then down the left side of my neck where my shoulder meets, and he kisses on the throbbing pulse there. The spot I assume he will place his mark. He begi
‘Epilogue’ Chase A few days later I finally sat down at my computer with my mate on my lap. I thought it was time I finally introduce her to my brothers and their mates. “You actually marked her?” Gabe asked looking a little concerned. “You know why we didn’t plan to mark them.” “I know but she needed healing and it worked. There were no side effects.” I said as my arm tightened around my mate. “What side effects?” She asked panicking. “Nothing, just we didn’t know how the venom will react to humans.” “And you took the chance with me?” Her voice went up an octave. “I had faith and besides as my mate the venom we share, you will now live as long as we do,” I said to reassure her. “What?” Alana gasped. “What do you mean?” Kellie asked. “Way to go Chase.” Said, Mitch. “They need to know. You know it wouldn’t be fair to them as we stay young as they get older. I don’t know about you, but I want my mate around as long as I am around.” “And just how long is that? My love?” Brian
'The Rape'My Hero came like a knight in shining armor. Only he wore a black leather jacket and rode a black Harley.A friend had set me up on a blind date and, from the beginning, everything went wrong. When I first opened the front door to my apartment and saw him, I felt uncomfortable. Especially when he suddenly hugged me and patted my ass and commented on my breast size and nice ass…um wow, nice first impression.What was my friend thinking?And then during dinner, there were more red flags that I should have listened to. Such as how ungentlemanly he was. Among the list of offenses, one I should have paid more attention to, was how he treated the waitress. He was rude to the waitress and when I say rude, he was vulgar, making sexual remarks and swatting her ass every chance he got.As we left the restaurant and began to walk, he dragged me into a dark alley and slammed me against a wall in the dark shadows. He then began to force himself on me. He had placed his hand over my mou
Gabriel (POV) Three months later I’m sitting at the head of the table in my conference room, beside an important client. He’s listening intently to a presentation from my top marketing agent explaining a new ad idea for his product. I look over to watch the client's expression as Tom explains his idea. So far, the client seems impressed, which is great for my company; ‘Spencer’s Ad Agency’. My company is the largest in the world. I have clients from all over seeking me out to create ads for their products. When Tom finished, he looked from me to the client and asked, “What did you think?” I watched as the client slowly, very slowly began to nod his head. “I like it. It will draw attention to the masses of people, which is what I want.” “I agree.” I began, “Which is why I approved Mr. Cleary to present it to you.” “Well, I am hugely impressed with this agency and all the challenging work you all put into my products. So,” He stands up and turns to me as I rise. “I leave my produc

Chase (POV)I couldn’t tell her that someone broke into her apartment and wracked the place. While I was there gathering her cat and the things it will need. I also packed a couple of suitcases with clothes, makeup, and other toiletries she will need and called a locksmith to come and change out her locks.I plan to call a cleaning service later and have her place cleaned up for her. It didn’t seem like anything was stolen just destroyed. I feel as if it was another warning to me. When she is more healed, I will speak to her and insist she stay with me until I take care of Benjamin Walker. With her here, I can protect her. Keep her safe. My security is one of the best there is.I will need to program the place with Brianna’s DNA, so she has access to get into the place. No one is going to harm my mate. Not while I am alive.“So, this little device pokes my finger and adds my DNA to your security system?” My mate asks me later that evening.“Yeah, I and my brother Gailan designed the s
Brianna (POV)He loves me. And all my fears are no longer there. This feels right. He feels right. Chase is my soulmate. I felt it for a very long time, but it took me all this time to admit I love him. I took a deep breath smiling when that breath hurt, and I groaned in pain. Laying here the shot the doctor gave me still had me feeling drowsy and I closed my eyes sighing softly with a smile on my lips.There’s a heavy something across my stomach as I wake up. I turn my head to see Chase lying next to me smiling. I smile back as I say, “Hi.”“Hi.” He responds. He lifts his hand from across my stomach and strokes a finger down my face. “Are you hungry? I ordered soup for you.”“Mm, what kind?”“Potato with bacon pieces and cheddar cheese. With dinner rolls.”“You know how to spoil a girl.” I broaden my smile.“Only my girl, darling. Only my girl.” He picks up my hand and kisses it.“Yeah, I am pretty hungry. I forgot to eat lunch today.”He kissed my forehead and said as he walked towa
Chase (POV)I was awake when Brianna leaned over me and whispered, “I do love you.” Then lightly kissed me before settling to sleep.I have been on cloud nine ever since. I will do all I can to ensure her happiness. And I promised myself I would show her in all I do how much I love her. As my mate, I am hers for life. I just have to figure a way to get Ben to stop harassing my mate.Then I have to come clean about what I am and what she is to me. I just hope she loves me enough to accept me.After breakfast, I took her to where her car was towed to and saw that it looked like new again. The detailers did a wonderful job cleaning off all the paint. Brianna was very pleased with the work.After paying the cost of the bill. She was about to get into her car as I walked behind her. She turned and smiled at me.“Are you sure you should be going to work today?” I asked.“I can’t let him scare me. I need to feel normal. And besides…” She kisses me. “I have you to call on for protection.”“I
