Raine was not supposed to be here. But she was so close. She could see Ronan spread out on the bed in the dark. She hiccupped, stumbling drunkenly as she steadied herself against the doorframe.

Raine wasn’t supposed to come back to the park and certainly not Ronan’s room , but the rejection, the humiliation, it was too much. She had to try, Ronan needed to take her back.

The room swayed as she staggered in, her breath uneven, the sharp bite of alcohol still thick on her tongue, it's potency still in her bloodstream, she stumbled to the bed, the figure on it slept soundly, half-covered by the sheets.

Ronan, her love. Her fated mate.

With shaky hands, Raine pulled down the zipper of her dress. It pooled at her feet, and she climbed into the bed, pressing herself against him softly. She sighed in contentment.

Her breath hitched as she reached for him in the pitch-dark room. He was perfect, her mate. He had cast her aside like she was nothing. But this, she was sure it would fix everything. She could change his mind. She knew it.

She dragged her naked body over him and placed her lips on his. She felt the moment he stirred into awareness because his body stiffened beneath hers.

She moaned low, moving against him as she kissed him again. The body beneath hers hesitated for a minute, but then he was kissing her back. Raine was pleased.

Her mate still wanted her. His touch means he wants her back. He misses her.

His hands tightened around her hips, and then he was flipping her beneath him in an instant. Raine gasped against his lips as the big body above hers pressed her down into the mattress.

Something was different about him tonight. He seemed rougher, more desperate, and in the dark, he seemed bigger. But her drunken head was too gone in the haze of lust to care.

His lips collided with hers, practically devouring her as his tongue danced with hers, fucking in and out of her tongue in a sloppy, wet kiss. Raine moaned, rubbing herself against his thick thighs.

The sheet around him had slipped, and his hard member poked into the side of her hip. Raine ached to reach for it, but the alpha had her hands pinned over head as his mouth left hers and trailed down her neck and down to her already parted legs. He nosed around her womanhood, teeth and tongue pressing gently against it, licking and nibbling.

Raine whined, bucking into the touch. She wanted him to bite her, she wanted his mark, but the alpha did not give it to her. Instead he trailed his lips up, kissing softlh until he was biting softly one of her nipples.

He pulled hard on the nub and Raine screamed, pleasure shooting straight through her entire being. His fingers nosed in between her legs, rubbing at her clit and spreading her slick.

Raine groaned, wanting more of him, her chest puffing up in anticipation as he positioned himself at her entrance and thrust in at once. Her back arched as her mouth opened in a silent scream of pleasure.

The alpha bottomed out, and for some reason, he seemed bigger than usual. Or had it been that long since she’d had her mate inside her? Raine’s walls spasmed and clenched around the thick length inside her and the alpha gave a low guttural groan, hands tight on her hips.

Raine whined again, moving her hips against him in a silent plea for him to give in to her desire. The alpha growled, dragging her until she was practically hanging off his lap.

His big hands spanned the width of her waist and he began moving her over his length, dragging her like she was his living cocksleeve.

Raine moaned, her voice rising with each pounding thrust into her, until she was practically a moaning mess. And just, as she approached her climax, she felt him swell inside her as he thrust harder.

Raine screamed as her orgasm crashed over her, sobbing at pleasure ran over her in waves. She felt it then, that fire, that hunger as their wolves surged towards each other, a sense of rightness like no other as they molded into one.

Raine’s sobs became tears of joy as their wolves clicked together, a connection snapping into place.

She was finally getting it. The bond that she’d been denied. Ronan was hers now, and by morning he would have no choice but to mate her before the entire pack.

Raine smiled as the alpha held her in his arms. His large hands stroking her body softly as she slept off.

◆◆◆◆

With the morning light came realization. Raine stretched as she awoke, her limbs, muscles, and thighs aching with a delicious soreness.

The events of last night came back to her, and she smiled despite her hangover. Ronan had made love to her. He took her back. The rejection had meant nothing. They would be joined as fated mates. Finally.

She turned, smile, and ready for her lover.

She froze.

The man in the bed beside her was not Ronan.

Raine felt her heart drop down to her stomach as all the blood drained from her face. She sat up frantically, pulling the sheets up to her naked chest as she took in the man next to her. The man she had let into her body last night.

Silver-streaked hair, a powerful broad frame she’d clung to last night as he’d pounded into her over and over again. And finally, glaring in the light of the morning, the alpha’s mark on his shoulder.

Matthias Draven.

Alpha of the Draven Pack and Ronan’s father.

Raine’s stomach lurched. She made a shocked sound as she scrambled back, struggling to get off the bed before the man would wake up, the sheets tangling around her legs.

Her commotion woke Matthias, and he stirred. Raine watched as those grey eyes of his flashed open, and his gaze met hers. She saw confusion crossing his features, and then shocked realization, and finally settled on revulsion. Raine was going to be sick.

Neither of them said a word. They barely even breathed. And then, with one trembling hand pressed to her lips, Raine did the only thing she could do.

She ran.

    It was the run of shame, and thankfully, the sun was not completely out yet. Raine slunk around the corridors of the packhouse like a ghostly shadow, barefoot, trembling and reeking of sex, and regret.Her dress was a pitiful mess on her body, hastily zipped up, and her hair was even worse. She could feel the scent of the older alpha clinging to her body, basically pouring out of her pores.Every step she took sent an ache through her core, a reminder of what she’d done lastShe had sex with Matthias Draven. A man more than twenty years older than her. She was 22, and if she remembered properly, he was approaching 45. The man was Ronan’s father. He’d probably even carried her as a child.Not only had he knotted her, but their wolves had bonded. Fuck, what was she going to do?How would she ever look herself in the mirror again. Raine’s head pounded, her muscles screamed as she staggered towards the back door, hoping to slink back to the motel and disappear forever.But fate wasn’t don

    Matthias smelled her before he saw her.At first, he thought it was just a figment of his imagination. It had been days since the incident, but he still woke up every morning with the taste of her on his tongue and her scent in his nose. He could feel her everywhere, and he longed for her.It was the best sex he ever had. She's fucking pure, soft and willing. He had seen the blood on the bed and knew he was her first.He had taken her virginity. He could still feel the softness of her body as she slept in his arm. He could smell her.But this, this was different. Her scent hit him strongly, exactly how he remembered it. Crushed violets, honey lavender, and something that was just her.And his wolf howled, calling for its second. Matthias froze. She was here.Raine was here.His head snapped up. And then he saw her, standing at the far end of the aisle, her scent wrapping around him like a noose.Matthias breathed it in like a lost man at sea. He had been starved of this, both he and h

    Matthias blinked as her words sunk in. His gaze was unreadable as he glanced down at his clasped hands. She bit her lips. The truth was, she'd thought about that night in the past days more times than she was supposed to.Raine stood up, she closed and opened her eyes briefly, keeping her hormones in check. It feels wrong to be yearning for her mate's father again.She closed her eyes she could still feel the way he moved deep inside her, the way his member had stretched her wide. She could still feel his lips on her wetness as he nibble and lick her. And she felt ashamed.This man was her ex mate's father, and she sat across from him, getting wet for him.Matthias cleared his throat as he walked to where she's standing. "I know it was a mistake." He said, "But if anyone is to apologize, it should be me. You were drunk and vulnerable, and I took advantage of you. If I'd known it was you, I would have put a stop to it."Her teeth sunk into her lower lip, and she fiddled with the hem o

    Matthias’s heart was a drum in his chest. Raine stood at the opposite side of the room, eyes wide and chest heaving as she stared up at Ronan. He could still see the flush in her cheeks from their almost kiss, and the want that slammed through him was strong enough to rock him off his feet. He stayed put through sheer force of will and turned to his son with a sneer. “What are you doing here?” He growled, stalking closer.Ronan’s brow furrowed, “What am I doing here? I live here! What is she doing here?! She was banished.” He snarled back. “On whose authority?!” Matthias’s voice boomed, “Yours? Because last I checked, I’m the only one whose authority matters in this pack. You went behind my back and banished a pack member without consulting me first. You should be punished, Ronan, for undermining my authority.”“Punished?!” Ronan spluttered, his anger simmering in the space between them as his eyes turned golden. “She was my mate. I rejected her! She has no place in this pack anymo

    Her heart stopped as soon as Matthias made his declaration. It was one thing for the alpha to threaten his son for attempting to hurt her. But forcing him to take her back. Raine didn’t know how she was supposed to feel about that. Oh but she missed Ronan so much. If this was the only way they could be together, then that was what she’d take. Ronan had been in love with her once, with time, maybe he could learn to love her again. She bit her lip, hope unfurling in her chest as she shoved away from where she’d cowed by the wall, and approached both men gingerly. “I will take everything from you,” Matthias said, leaning closer until he was almost nose to nose with his son. “Your inheritance. Your claim to leadership, your place in this pack. You will leave here with nothing and nothing to your name from generations to generations.” Ronan’s nostrils flared. “You can’t be serious.” Matthias pulled back just enough to meet his son’s gaze. “Try me.” Ronan’s eyes bulged as he re

    When night came, Raine was escorted to Ronan’s rooms and told she was to sleep there on the alpha’s orders. It was unusual because even before Ronan rejected her, Raine slept in her own home down in the pack and was rarely ever in the packhouse, much less in Ronan’s room. Still, her heart thumped excitedly as she stepped into the empty room, and was immediately covered in the scent of her mate. She expected her wolf to preen and luxuriate with pleasure, being surrounded by the scent of their mate. But her wolf remained resolutely quiet, having been down since Matthias walked away from her in the living room. It didn’t matter though, Raine was sure her wolf would perk up once Ronan was back, and it realized he was their true mate, and Matthias had just been a really great fuck. An hour later, she was stepping out of the bathroom after a soak in the tub, and was slipping into the night slip that had been laid out for her, when the room door opened and Ronan slammed his way in.

    Raine woke up alone in the large bed. Ronan was gone. A part of her was grateful. She wasn’t sure she was in the mood in to see him that morning, especially after what happened last night. After a long shower, she dressed in a pair of shorts and a peach tank top, leaving her wavy brown hair flowing down her back. She wasn’t in the mood for anything extra, so she slipped her feet into yesterday’s pair of loafers, and followed the smell of coffee down to the kitchen, only to find Matthias there, as well as his eldest son, Silas. Ronan was absent. The sight of Matthias, seated at the head of the table and sipping on a mug, caused her to falter in her steps. She was sure her cheeks were on fire, and anyone could see it. Both men were talking about something, but stopped when she walked in. Matthias flared his nostrils, scenting her, and he glanced away, something in his expression turning stormy. Silas stared at her with visible confusion. “Good morning, alpha.” She bowed slightly

    She was already shaking. Already soaked and aching for him, and it was wrong. It was so, so wrong. “Please, alpha,” she whispered, voice breaking. “Take me.” Matthias swore under his breath, his hands tightening painfully on her hips. “You don’t know what you’re asking for.” Raine met his gaze. Yes, I do. Matthias’s gaze was hot with molten heat and an intensity that shot to her toes. He closed the distance between them and slammed his lips down on hers. Raine opened for him immediately, parting for his tongue and melting in his arms. A part of her knew this was wrong—the part that wasn’t being led around the noose by her wolf. Last night she’d been in Ronan’s bed. And now she was letting his father shove his tongue down her throat, on a counter, in the pack house kitchen, where literally anyone could walk in on them. She wanted to push him away, tell him to stop, tell him that this was wrong. Instead, she wrapped her arms and legs around him, pressing closer as his mouth devo

    For the next two or so weeks, Raine spent her nights in Matthias’s room. Ever since that first night at the study, Raine had found herself returning back there over and over again. And like he could read her mind, Matthias was there to meet her. It was dirty, elicit, and so very, very dangerous. Raine loved every minute of it. After a while, she stopped going back to Ronan’s bed once they were done. Mostly because Ronan was barely home anyways, and because Matthias’s bed was just right there. She woke up that morning, sore and aching in the best way. She stretched out, yawning loudly as her muscles popped. The bed beside her was empty but still warm, meaning Matthias had just left the bed. The shower came on in the bathroom, and Raine found herself smiling, burying her face into his pillows and taking his scent deep. She was happy. Her wolf was calm. She was having mind blowingly great sex every night, and she was happy. Raine was actually happy. After a while, the shower cut of

    They had on matching outfits—a crisp white shirt tucked into severely ironed slacks. Both of their shirts were splashed with blood, Selene even had some smeared on her cheek. She noticed Ronan first and smiled wide, bouncing across the room to fling herself into his arms. Ronan let her, wrapping his hands around her slim waist. “Oh honey, look at you.” She pulled back a bit, running a hand down his face, “You look like you got a visit from death.” “I got decked by my dad, then got pumped full of wolfsbane so I’d sleep through the whole 2 days” He muttered dryly. “I take it that our plan was carried out successfully?” Killian asked, he had his back turned, rummaging in a drawer for something. “Is that why your old man decked you?” Selene asked, brows furrowing, “Cuz it’s part of your plan? And why wasn’t I informed of this plan?” Ronan leaned forward to kiss her softly on the lips, ignoring the sharp stench of blood on her. “It’s all rough work, nothing to worry yourself about

    This time, Matthias lost his shit before her. It seems everyone is intentionally getting on his fucking nerve. “And what would you have had me do?” He roared, flinging his arm out and crashing everything on the mantle place to the floor. Raine gasped, flinching away in fear. “Let him tear my pack in half? Do you know what that would mean? It would mean war. Right now, this pack is on the precipice of chaos. One wrong move from me and it all goes down in flames.” He reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “Do you understand why I don’t particularly care about your anger?” Raine blinked up at him, her chest heaving with each breath. “You’re hurting me, Matthias.” He winced and let her go, moving all the way across the room to me away from her. Raine watched him as he ran one shaky hand through his hair. This was the most un-composed she’d ever seen him. He looked like he was on the verge of falling apart. “I apologize.” He said, his voice hoarse and quiet.

    “We have to contain this before it spreads,” Matthias said, breaking the silence finally. “Right now, Malte is locked in his quarters, as well as the other accused wolves. But that’s not going to hold for long.” He turned back around, meeting his son’s gaze. “We have to figure out what to do with him, and fast.” “What do you have in mind?” Silas asked, watching him closely. “Matthias pressed two fingers to the bridge of his nose, rubbing at the ache there. “I just need concrete proof. If Malte’s men are innocent, we’ll clear their names, as well as his. And if he’s guilty…” Silas watched him trail off, “The pack will demand for blood, Father.” He spoke with sympathy. “Are you ready to deal with that?” Matthias didn’t answer right away. Part of him held on to the hope that all of this was just one big misunderstanding, and that it would all sort itself out if he just gave it time. But he knew things didn’t work like that. There was no easy solution, no path that didn’t lead to c

    A gasp rippled through the crowd, their murmurs growing louder with each second. Matthias took a step forward, refusing to let himself be undermined in the presence of his pack by both his son, and his general. “Watch yourself, General.” Malte did not back down. He never did, he was a stubborn old crow. “Watch myself? I’ve fought beside you for years, Matthias. Giving you the best of what I had to offer. I have never given you a reason to doubt my loyalty. And yet I see you hesitate while your son spins lies and destroys the pack from within, accusing my best men for a crime they had no hand in.” He gestured broadly at his gathered soldiers. Thalia stared at her alpha as well, her eyes filled with molten hate. “How much longer until you realize that your son will drag this pack to ruin?!” Thalia called, her voice sharp like the crack of a whip in the quiet. Ronan snarled, pushing forward to attack, but Malte was there, staring him down. “You will let them talk to me this way, Fat

    “I don’t trust him.” She spoke warily, picking each word carefully. “I just think maybe you should place the needs of the pack above any personal vendettas you might have with the Voss.” “Are you telling me how to do my job?” Matthias growled, his voice low and deadly. Raine swallowed, stepping back into the counter, her scent souring with fear. She opened her mouth to say something else, but before she could, the back door swung open with a bang, and a female beta soldier ran in, panting and frantic. “Alpha Draven...” she panted, chest heaving with each panicked breath. “A fight…the pack square. General Malte and Ronan. I think he’s going to kill him.” The square was chaos. By the time Matthias arrived, the place was a bloodbath. Almost every wolf in the pack was gathered, the crowd dense and tight as everyone yelled one thing or another at the spectacle going on before them. The air reeked of blood and sweat as he forced his way through the throng of bodies. The screams fr

    Raine came to his room in the dead of the night. But unlike that night many weeks ago, she was completely sober. It was sometime after one a.m., and Matthias was in the bathroom, head thrown back under the spray of the shower, reminiscing about the day’s events and letting the warm water soothe his aches. The shower door slid open a moment later, and Matthias turned to find her there. Naked and as beautiful as the first time he saw her. She had her hair up in a messy bun, some tendrils managed to escape and fell around her face in soft willowy wisps, framing her features and bringing out her eyes. He stared at her, shocked. “What are you doing here?”She shrugged a shoulder, “Ronan’s asleep. It’s been a tense couple of days for you, I figured you wouldn’t mind some stress relieve.” She bit down on her lip. “Am I being too forward?”“What? No.” He sputtered, “Never!” She sent him a small, shy smile that went straight through him and he stepped back a little, making space for her in

    “Ha but I never said I wasn’t dangerous.” He reached down and pulled at one of his gloves, shifting it a little so his wrist was exposed. The sight of that pale silver of skin made him unusually vulnerable, and she wasn’t sure why. “I’m an alpha wolf. It is in my nature to be dangerous. But like I said, I do not start fights.” “Why do they all hate you then?” Killian smiled, but it came out more wistful than amused. “My family has history with the Dravens. A bit of bad blood if you must say. But I do not believe in inheriting enemies. I’d much rather make my own.” He glanced at her with a glint in his eye. Before she could say anything else, Ronan stepped in between them, throwing an arm around her shoulders. Raine blinked in surprise. This was the first time he’d touched her since that first night. She glanced up at him, shocked at this sudden behavior, even as her cheeks heated up. “I didn’t know you and Alpha Voss were so friendly,” his smile was too bright, too wide, and he

    Raine furrowed her brows in confusion as noise erupted among the crowd once again, each person wanting to be heard over the other as everyone yelled out their opinions. Someone jostled her in the ensuring chaos, and she fell back against Killian. He brought a hand out to steady her with a grip on her waist, his gloves cold even through the fabric of her shirt. Suddenly, Matthias was there. Pushing past the crowd to reach her. Ronan and Silas followed behind. Ronan’s gaze met hers, unreadable as it dropped to where Killian held her. “Outside!” Matthias barked, face twisted in anger. “Now, Raine!” She pulled away from Killian’s grip and found herself bustled out in between four wolf men. As soon as they were out of the hall, Matthias was lunging at Killian, wrapping a hand around the front of his chest and pushing him up against the wall of the building, hard enough that the concrete cracked. Killian’s face didn’t change. He held both hands up and stared impassively down at Matthia
