Loraine’s POV I’m surprised by how fast Killian runs out of the room, leaving me burning with lust and hunger. It has happened twice in one day. I have lost myself twice to two different men—brothers—in one day, and I don’t know what to make of it. I want more. My body wants more. I want nothing to do with whatever may be happening, but I feel like the more I try to resist them, the more the fire in me burns. It is as though our connection is beyond control. An irresistible primal force that takes us all by storm. I had seen it in his eyes. He had fought—quite hard—but then his body had given in to the urges just as mine had. Thinking of it now, a shiver runs down my spine. I had felt his hardness rubbing against me, his lust tangled with mine. The hunger I felt then had been uncontrollable. Mind-numbing. I could not stop, even if I wanted to. That is the excuse I give myself. Sighing, I retire to the bathroom, wash up quicky, and return to bed. Today has been quite a long
I am not going to get any sleep tonight. Not after what I just witnessed in the hallway. I had been awakened by a loud banging sound and went out to investigate it when I stumbled upon the fight. A fight! Yes, a fucking fight. Four brothers are freaking fighting over me. Four respected Alpha’s tolling around the ground, throwing punches over a weak, rejected Omega like me. I don’t know what to think about it; heck, I have no idea what to do now. This is what I tried to avoid, but it seems as though it is already here. Being mated to your guys—all brothers, all Alphas (except for Kris, who is yet to get his Alpha title)—is a hell of a trouble, and I don’t think I’m ready for it. For goddess sake, I’m getting over the fucking rejection, and now I have to deal with four fucking Alpha wolves. The thought alone made me shake visibly. There’s no way I can hide in this room forever, but going out there and facing the Alphas is also not an option. I sit in my bed. I can’t face the
Loraine’s POV Today is turning out to be ‘one of those days.’ Yeah. One of those days where I would work till my body became sore and I wish the ground opened and swallowed me. During the meeting in Alpha Hunter’s office, he had me introduced to a dark-haired beauty. Sasha. Her name fits her looks and personality. I guess that is why we got along quite well after just meeting for the first time. Sasha is engaged to Alpha Hunter’s beta, Maddox, whom I’m yet to meet because he is out on pack business on behalf of his Alpha. Once he’s back, Sasha assures me that they’ll start preparations for their marriage, which is after the ball. Anyway, back to why Alpha Hunter introduced Sasha and me and why I think today might be the worst day of my life, although I just met the most wholesome and down-to-earth female in the world? Well, that is because I not only have to tour Alpha Hunter’s pack settlement but the settlements belonging to his brothers as well, meet the pack women and assi
Loraine’s POV His fingers run down my skin slowly, stopping at my back. I want to resist and push him away, but I can’t. Not with how much my body wants this. My wolf wants it. Tingles burst in every part of my body, crippling the last bit of rationality that I am desperately clinging to. Of all the brothers, I’ve always thought Preston to be the most reserved, the least naughty. The one with all the brains and not just muscles, but I guess when it comes down to nature, a wolf would always be a wolf, and whether we try to fight it or not, our primal instincts will always take over. Mate. The only word that exists in my wolf’s vocabulary now. Whether she means that in terms of the bond that exists between us, the one clawing desperately, begging to be united with our better half or in another term, I have no idea, and I can barely wrap my head around anything at this point. Preston’s hand trailed everywhere before landing on my ass. He squeezed tight, causing me to whimper. T
Kris’ POV I am upset. Not quite, but after banging her door for more than thirty minutes and receiving no response, I am getting upset. I know she’s in there. My wolf is going crazy from her scent, and I feel tingles prickling my skin. Why the fuck is she not replying? My anger slowly metamorphoses into worry. What if she’s not alright? Hunter had informed us of an infiltration two days ago. One of his warriors had spotted someone, a spy, and we were yet to get hold of them. What if they have done something to her? My wolf goes berserk at that thought. “Loraine!” I scream. If she is hurt, won’t I feel it? I would have been able to if we had bonded, but since we are yet to do that, my senses and wolf are very limited to things that concern her. Worry claws at my chest, and I have made up my mind to kick the door in when it opens slowly and her beautiful head pops out. She flashes a disarming smile—as I said, disarming because all the anger and worry I felt only seconds ago me
Loraine’s POV Kris leads us to Alpha Hunters office, pulling me so I won’t get distracted by stuff along the way. I can’t be faulted because everything in the house is clamouring for my attention, and ignoring them is hard. We soon arrive at a mahogany door, and Kris gives me a minute to collect myself before pushing the door open and ushering us in. I gasp as three pairs of eyes stare back at us. The chilling silence causes goosebumps to rise in my skin, and my heart is beating to the point where I feel as though the world burst out of my chest. I gulp as I begin to feel the pull towards each of them. Fuck! Being with one brother is hard enough; being with all of them makes me feel as if I’m about to be torn to pieces. “Loraine.” Alpha Hunter’s voice is quite soft and polite. “You got my gift.” My lips break into a smile despite the war that’s raging inside me. I pinch the fabric of the dress in between my fingers and bend my knees in reverence. “I did, thank you.” “It fits
Hunter’s POV My wolf growled as soon as her scent hit us. The smell of lavender and cinnamon was so delicious that even my brothers were finding it hard to keep their wolves down. As soon as she steeped through the door, I knew I was a gone man. And now she’s acting like she owns us all. Fuck! If it isn’t sexy, hell. I fucking love this side of her that all I can think of is giving all of myself to her. Banging her left, right, and centre till her wolf screams my name. Shit, she owns me now, doesn’t she? After stating her demands, my brothers are yet to say a word. They are just as dumbstruck as I am. I can’t seem to be able to take my eyes off her. Heck! I don’t want to take my eyes off her. All I want is “Is that even an option?” Killian’s voice pulls me out of the phantasm of my mind, delivering me back into reality. I shudder, glancing around. Thankfully, none of my brothers noticed that I had been off for a second. “Can she choose herself? And not anyone of us? What hap
Hunter’s POV Fear flashes in my mate’s eyes, and her heat rushes up to my nose, eliciting a gut-wrenching growl from my wolf. All heads in the room bow to the ground, all except Sasha's, whose head is tilted towards the sky, and she’s now howling in pain. My first instincts are to protect my mate by getting her out of here, but she resists me, choosing to rush to Sasha’s side. I sigh, trying to reach my beta through the mind link, but fail. Frowning, I try again, growling in annoyance when I still can’t get through to him. Something’s not right. My wolf points out. “Beta’s mate.” I call out, using my alpha’s tone to ensure her attention. “What is this? What has happened?” Loraine pulls her to her feet, while the other women quickly bring water to wash out the blood in her hands. The blood, which I see now is from clawing at her skin, on the area below her chest. “Beta’s…” Loraine holds her hand up, shutting me up. She moves Sasha to a seat, drawing soothing circles on her b
