Seren’s kisses were turning out to be more than I could ever have expected. They were turning my body into one raging desire. This matebond had a lot to answer for. I don’t think I had ever looked at her this way before… had I? I don’t know. But, I knew that in this moment, and likely ever again, I was looking no where else. My wolf had been right, the affect she was having upon me was like nothing else I had experienced before.
With every delicate touch of her fingers along my skin my body shivered with sheer pleasure… the need for her coursing through me. I had unhooked the delicate lace bra she was wearing, uncovering her entire body to me. Allowing me to see all of her. And she was, in short, perfect. I could see the nerves within her eyes as I took within her body, so I made an appreciative moan to let her know how much I liked what I saw. Seren had nothing to be embaressed of, yet she tried to cover herself with her hands, so I moved her
Rippling with a new surge of confidence, I wandered from the bed to the bathroom where Lachlan had headed to clean up. Everything we had shared had been so much more than I had expected. Lachlan had been so much more. He had been different. He made me feel wanted. Needed. I liked it. I wanted more.‘That is what a mate does.’ Maia urged me. I was unsure the confidence I felt as I walked across the room, still naked was from the way Lachlan had made me feel, or the boost of confidence provided by my wolf. Either way, I liked feeling this way. If this was what being with Lachlan was like, then I wanted it more often. It was good for me. He had to see that, right?I could hear the water running, and the door was slightly ajar, so I snuck into the bathroom, Lachlan, was standing in front of the mirror, his once naked body now half wrapped in a towel slung heavy on his hips. He looked good, though I think, having seen him naked, I preferred him
I didn’t imagine I would be coming of age without my Dad there to guide me. That does not mean I do not appreciate my Mum. Hell no, she is the strongest woman I know. Losing your fated mate can destroy you. Though, personally, I think losing the one you love is enough to break anyone. But, the bond we share as werewolves with our mates is something else; and when that is broken, it can tear you apart from the inside.Yet my Mum pulled through it. Not just any old she-wolf either. A Beta’s wife. Bringing up a hard-headed son who, I am not ashamed to say, is a stubborn little fucker. I took after my Dad in that respect. I know that much. But, taking after him was the last connection I could have with him. That and the fact I would be inheriting his title.Yet, despite losing him, and knowing she had a heart-broken son struggling to cope with the loss of his father to bring up, my Mum battled on through, resilient as ever, never letting her determination waiver, or at least never in fron
Seems my wolf was quite an irritating little fucker. Either that or he liked to disagree with everything I said just to rile me up. I was undecided. I picked at my breakfast, making polite conversation with those sitting around me, just as my eyes were caught by a movement by the large window of the dining hall. My gaze was instinctively drawn in that direction, only to be greeted by the dark-haired figure of Seren stalking past. The one member of the pack I hated above all others.Her long dark hair pulled up into a high pony-tail, and dressed in yoga pants and a cropped top. Maybe she had been at the gym? But I felt irritation bubbling... Everyone had come to the dining hall to wish me a happy birthday, I assumed, at the former Alpha or former Luna's request. All except her. I can’t say I am surprised. While I hated a fuss, and would rather nobody felt they needed to do all this for me, I appreciated the effort they had gone to. It was more that Seren felt she was above joining in..
Today was a day that the pack was making such a big deal over. Lachlan, one of my older brother’s best friends, had his birthday. Yes, it was an important birthday, because he was coming of age, but, because he was the pack’s soon-to-be-Beta, everyone appeared to be acting like the world needed to stop spinning.My Mum was friends with his mum, and had been involved in decorating the packhouse, like they so often did for birthdays, and I had been instructed to ensure I would be there for the ‘Birthday Breakfast Banquet’ or something along those lines, I believe my Mum had named it. So we could all blow smoke up Lachlan’s ass… I mean, wish him a happy birthday as a pack, and celebrate with him. Anyone would think the guy was royalty or something.As a whole, I loved pack celebrations. Being part of a pack was amazing. The community spirit and camaraderie was something that I don’t think you would get anywhere else. It was like an extended family. So, when it was someone’s birthday and
She was giving as good as she got, while I was struggling, battling with the noises from within coming from this new wolf I was trying to adapt to. He had been one thing before this new development, but this was something else entirely. Now he had gone from the cocky and cheeky character he was, to one that was a whimpering mess. One that so clearly had decided that he needed his mate. That was not the strong, ruthless Beta wolf I had been expecting to receive when meeting my wolf, that is for sure!But, one thing is for certain, my wolf, Tyr, was determined. He was resilient in fighting me to get out. To get to his mate. But, I knew that could not happen. Because the moment I allowed that to happen, he would be all over her. I had seen what an uncontrolled wolf could do, and I had no intention of letting him take over with Seren. She may have been fated to me, but she was never going to be mine. And I don't think Tyr was ready to accept that just yet.I felt her eyes upon me, but as
My head was a mess by the time I walked into the house. Only to find my Mum’s angry eyes staring at me. Yes, I had managed it again. I had pissed her off. I could win awards in that.“I lost my bracelet when I went for a run, okay?” I explained, hoping she might at least show me some sympathy, or, if not, then try to understand the reason I had not returned when she had asked me to. “So I had to go back and look for it.”Her big green eyes darkened at those words, her brow furrowed. “As in the bracelet your Dad gave you?” Her voice was hoarse, and already I knew this was not going to go as I hoped, so I simply nodded.A heavy sigh slipped from my Mum’s lips as her hands fell to her sides in what I could only assume was frustration. “How could you be so irresponsible, Seren?” she snapped. “You know how precious that bracelet is! It is not like you can just get another one. Or at least not one that would hold the same meaning.”My eyes widened at her reaction. She had to be kidding, rig
I had done the good guy role. Going against every part of me that hated Seren. But, the part of me that knew what it was like to lose my father. The part that clung to that pain day in and day out was what made me step up and offer to help her find her bracelet. Or at least try. That had been torture being that close to her. I hate her. I truly do. But my body want her. The matebond wants her. This is nothing but a mess.Her scent was overwhelming. Enticing. Alluring. As it teased at my senses. Like it wanted me to reach for her and sink my teeth into her neck. Mark her and make her mine. Her scent had filled every part of that forest as we searched for that damn bracelet. As I did the decent thing. Torturing myself while being the good guy. Yet, we never found the damn thing, and she rushed away with tears in her eyes, and I had to ask our patrols to look out for it. Another promise to the bane of my life...Now I needed to go and party. Reward myself for being the good guy. I think
The party was in full swing by the time Marcus and I arrive, more than a couple of shots down. Seemed my friend was not about to let me leave the house having had only one. He was out to ensure I had a good night, and for that I was not going to complain.The moment we arrived to the party we were swamped with well-wishers. Most of whom I had already seen today at my birthday breakfast, or in and around pack, but I was gracious as always. They were, after all, members of the pack I had grown up in, and members of the pack I would be assisting in running once they allowed me to begin my Beta training now I had my wolf. The next stage in my life. One that I had to say I was excited about. Following in my Dad's footsteps. Earning the title he had passed on to me. One my Mum had tried hard to bring me up honourably to earn.Once Marcus and I had managed to ease ourselves away from the majority of the crowd, we noticed three women approaching. All three with affectionate smiles upon their
Rippling with a new surge of confidence, I wandered from the bed to the bathroom where Lachlan had headed to clean up. Everything we had shared had been so much more than I had expected.

Seren’s kisses were turning out to be more than I could ever have expected. They were turning my body into one raging desire. This matebond had a lot to answer for. I don’t think I had ever looked at her this way before… had I? I don’t know. But, I knew that in this moment, and likely ever again, I was looking no where else.

My whole body shuddered under Lachlan’s touch. My core trembling from the affect of the orgasm he had created. His eyes held a deeper, darker glint to them as he studied my face now. “Did that feel good?” he murmured against my cheek, and I nodded, too breathless to answer. Still in complete shock at what we had just done. I had returned to his house because it was easier... and suddenly we were doing this? Yet, as wrong as it felt, I hadn't wanted to stop... it felt right too...Lachlan released a low throaty chuckle, as he allowed his fingers to tease slowly against my folds once again, my body melting under his touch, my entire skin flushed with heat, a stark contrast to the cold surface of the kitchen worktop Lachlan currently had me pressed up against.“You want more?” he questioned, and inexplicably I found myself nodding in agreement. Again, I knew this wrong. Something both of us may live to regret, but I also knew I did not want i
Initially I had wanted an answer. That had been all. An answer to when Seren had felt that way about me, and what had changed. The venom in her voice had bothered me. I knew I had treated her badly over the years, and continued to do so. In my mind, having every reason to do so. But, I wanted to know her reasoning for these feelings.But, the scent of her arousal had hit my senses, and nothing else mattered in that moment. My wolf and I could focus on nothing else. That scent was so overwhelming. I was instantly aroused. It had been some time now since I had been with a woman… and this was the scent of my own fated mate's arousal… arousal because of me. I could not simply walk away. I wanted her it seemed. And logic dissapeared in the moment, desire taking over.All I could see was Seren. The curves of her perfect body... and that scent... that scent was taking over my mind... I loved seeing the shock upon her face as I parted her thighs
I walked into the kitchen, a heaviness in my gut at the realization of what I had just admitted to. I had no clue if Lachlan had known of my silly crush on him earlier in my teens. I had always tried hard to hide it. Lachlan was confident, and cocky as a teen, and I knew he would humiliate me had he known. Not to mention my brother would have been nothing but ashamed of me had he learned of it... But, just now, those words had slipped out without thinking, likely due to my tiredness. And, regardless of any potential backlash, I did not plan to stand and discuss it now, I knew that much. The past was always better staying in the past.I could tell my words had captured Lachlan's attention because the silence was deathly. If I could have had the earth open up and swallow me whole I gladly would have right then. Anything to escape this awkwardness... But, instead, I decided to try to change the subject. “You got any soda?” I questioned, breaking the
Well, the vulnerable Seren did not last long at all, I have to say. She was back to sniping at me before we had even stepped foot inside of my house! Tyr was on at me about taking care of her, and as we walked, I could see such pain within her eyes, I was not able to be harsh with her. I knew my wolf was right. She had been through enough tonight, and needed somebody to be there for her. So, knowing her own mother was likely in no fit state to care for her tonight, and knowing her brother was currently ensconced in the arms of a random she-wolf right now, I thought the decent thing to do was to offer to be there for her and allow her to crash at mine.But, having her sniping at me that way again, I was truly beginning to doubt if it was the right thing or not. Yet, we were already arriving at the house. Not a time to turn Seren away now. I would just have to tolerate her. It wasn't like I wasn't an expert in that already. I walked into the house, and turned to look back at he
I walked alongside Lachlan in almost a trance. The dealthly silence that sat between us beyond uncomfortable. Maia whimpered heavily at the way our mate had all but pushed us away, but I cannot say I was surprised at how he had reacted. The appearance of that wolf out on his midnight run was likely a relief for Lachlan. It had saved him from a moment of madness. How Lachlan had been acting had been so out of character it had taken me by surprise. It had felt so nice, and I guess, you could say, I had been swept away by the moment. But, I knew the second Lachlan reacted how he did he had regretted his actions...‘Do not say that!’ Maia whimpered again. ‘Did you not see the way he looked at us? He wanted us…’I sighed. I was not about to allow my wolf to try to convince me of things that simply were not there. Of course she was going to hope for our fated mate to want us. That was what every wolf would want. It was natura
I could feel Seren all but trembling within my arms, but I knew that effect was not down to me. That warrior she had near surrendered herself to had broken her. Had I not arrived when I did he could have taken everything from her. My whole body was trembling too, and it was not in fear like Seren’s. The trembling coursing through my body was in rage. Yet as Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me, I could feel no anger toward her.Yes, she had been foolish. But, I hated hearing her call herself stupid. This was more a man trying to take advantage of a naive she-wolf. That warrior had known exactly what he was doing, and that infuriated me.“You need to be more careful, Ren.” I mumbled, seeming unable to look away from those eyes of hers. They were looking at me with such need right now. “We don’t want you getting hurt.” I told her. Regardless of any resentment I may feel toward her, the thought of Seren getting hurt really did t
My whole body shook. Total shock had taken over me at what had just happened. That was not the guy I had been enjoying spending time with. Alejandro had always been so charming. He had spent quite some time trying to convince me to even spend time with him... never for a moment had he come across in a negative way. Surely tonight had to be the affect of the drink, right?My body shuddered at the thought of what he had just done... or more accurately what he so nearly had done. Clearly, nobody is who you truly think they are. Anyone is capable of changing to gain what they want, I realized with a sinking heart. I did not want to see him again. Though, for the time being at least, that was not going to be an issue. Alejandro had wasted no time in running when Lachlan had given that opportunity. He would have been a fool not to, listening to the anger in Lachlan's voice. Warrior or not, Alejandro would be no competition for Lachlan. I just hoped when the morning came, they dealt with him
