Dahlia's POV When my teeth pierced through his flesh it was softer than I had imagined it would be. Like a softened butter being sliced with a butter knife.As his blood started pouring out into my mouth I felt a rush of excitement go throughout my entire body lighting a fire in me that made my toes curl.The deeper I penetrated the more I became aroused. As I sunk down I finally hit the bone that he had hit in me. Scraping deeply into it I felt an intense amount of emotions barrel through my mind.It was him.I could feel his want, his lust, his fears, everything he held within him was now fully a part of myself.'So this is what it feels like to be marked, to have your soul become fully connected with one another's.'Alanah was there, I could feel her vibrating through me, pleasure building inside of her that bled out into my own. I moaned out into the bite but it was muffled from my mouth fully covering him.It felt like a twig snapping in reverse, like the broken part of me final
Dahlia's POV Continued I laid there, my body felt completely spent as he rolled himself into me, his arms wrapping around me making me move further into his body.A sheen of sweat covered both our bodies as he breathed out heavily onto my shoulder before inhaling my scent then placing small kisses along my shoulder."Mmmm, I could stay like this with you all day."He hummed against my skin making my breath hitch. I wish we could stay like this but I knew that wasn't a possibility. "I do too."I turned my body around to face him, his eyes glowing brightly as he looked back at me. That intense caramel color looked like it was swirling as the light hit them making me want to melt into him.I leaned up, pressing my lips to his when he frowned at me."Why are you frowning?""Cause you are going to get out of bed.""How did you know? Oh... shower first?"His frown faded before a small smile took its place. We showered together where he decided that the best way for me to shower meant him
Alpha Damien's POV The moment I stepped out of that bedroom, breathing in deeply as her scent still surrounded my body I felt at ease.I knew my pack immediately felt it the moment they were linked with her, their new Luna. It's something a lot of my pack had never felt before.Some were too young to know, others never got that sense when I was with Alejandra, while the elders knew what it felt like when my father had marked my mother.When the guards had linked me about the rogues they profusely apologized for disturbing me because they all knew what had happened and didn't want to ruin my moment, a moment so many had been waiting for to finally happen.Our pack was officially complete now that she was here. A stable person to help guide us through the world, someone that could be trusted with confidences they weren't able to have with me.Every cell in my body was buzzing as I made my way down the stairs. Anyone working bowed their heads to me but I could still see the light in thei
Alpha Damien's POV Continued When her voice rang through my mind I felt my anger rising even more as I stared at the man that was once a part of her pack. A guard that spoke ill of her so when she told me her brother texted Rose I felt bile rise in my throat.He didn't text from a burner, he texted from the number we had for him. Something I specifically told him not to do in case his phone was being tracked.Harshly the words left me, mixed with Mikko as he was now on edge with the implications that it is, indeed, her father sending these rogues. That would mean he does, in fact, know she is here with my pack.He wouldn't know that she was my mate, he wouldn't know that his actions of turning her rogue didn't take on what he was hoping they would.'You will NOT answer him!'I cut the link immediately before linking Rose and Lottie at the same time.'Rose you will NOT allow her to answer her brother. Lottie, go to where the girls are and make sure they are safe. I have Beta Alexi hea
Dahlia's POV "Why did you leave the house?"He asked as he placed me down on the bathroom counter to fill the tub with hot water. I could feel his worry as he bent over to turn on the water.When he turned back around his eyes trailed up my body making my thighs instantly clench together as I trailed my eyes down him.Then he came to me, pushing my legs apart as he slid himself between them. Brushing my hair back from my face he tilted my chin up to look him in the eyes."Well?"I bit my bottom lip then took a deep breath."When my brother texted Rose I felt anxious. I knew he wanted to check on me because of the pain I went through when my father banished me.""I know... I'm sor....""It's okay, don't apologize, I understand the position. However, when I opened the link to you I felt your anger, it coursed through me like a wave mixing with my own anxiety and before I realized it I was half shifted standing in the kitchen scaring Rose.Oh God's, Rose!"I went to push him back, read
Dahlia's POV Continued It warmed my heart to hear him say that to me, but in reality I knew that a promise like that was going to be hard to keep until after we deal with whatever my father may throw our way."I know that you will never cause me the pain my father placed upon me. But right now, making a promise like that isn't the best idea. If there is going to be a fight, then he is going to specifically come after me.""He isn't going to make it close enough to lay a finger on you!"Fur sprouted from his arms as his eyes went so dark they looked black all the way through. I ran my fingers down his arm, brushing gently past the fur as I whispered."I know that you will keep me safe Mikko, I'm just saying that there is a possibility of me getting hurt. I know that through it all I have you both to help me through anything that may take place."His eyes shifted as he pulled me into him further as the fur retracted. "No one is going to touch what is mine again. I stayed back this one
Dahlia's POV Continued When I went downstairs I slowly pushed the kitchen door open. Seeing Rose standing behind the counter with Lottie, along with a few other women I paused.I wanted to apologize to Rose, about what happened earlier along with everything else I had found out. I was worried about how she was going to react to me. Would she fear me from what happened today?As I took my first step inside the other women automatically bared their necks to me which confused me for a moment until they said "Luna" in unicent making my brows pinch up until it hit me that they were showing me respect.It threw me off guard because it was so new for me to not have someone look down on me for a change. Before I had the chance to say anything in return Rose barreled at me wrapping me in a tight hug as the others gasped at her reaction to me."Oh God's, you're okay! I was so worried about you Dahlia!".Gasps resounded around the room before a woman snapped at Rose for being disrespectful to h
Alpha Damien's POV "So basically he's turning his own men rogue in an attempt to see if he can maintain some semblance of control over them to attack on his behalf."I ran my fingers through my hair as I spoke, trying to maintain my composure in front of my Beta Alexi, Delta Antonio and my Uncle Allister. My mind was swimming after everything that had happened but seeing Alpha Knight again, that was a tipping point for me.I hate that man for everything he did to my family, to this pack, along with countless others including ones I probably don't even know about. Now, my anger is placed in a different direction, with the pain he caused my mate, his very own daughter.Knowing now, more of the extent of pain he had put her through made me see nothing but red. He didn't deserve to live after the things he has done. Breaking her the way he did isn't even something I knew a father could do to his own flesh and blood.To feel that bond with someone yet sit back and watch her go through bei
Alpha Damien’s POV Her hips jerked up harshly as she sucked in a sharp breath. The small sounds she would make as she became closer to releasing was intoxicating. The scent of her, the taste, it made my mouth water. Pushing two fingers inside of her tight channel she screamed out, her fingers trying to tangle in my hair but she had trouble reaching me over her bump. I could hear her frustration as her hands slammed down onto the bed harshly. A ripping sound came telling me that her nails were shredding through the blanket beneath her. Her thighs began to shake as I pushed my fingers deeper inside of her. The walls tightening around them when she attempted to close her legs around my head. Her body trembling as I forced one leg to the bed, pinning it there as I continued to lap at her. Her moans and screams were music to my ears as she came undone. “Oh GODS! I…. Ohhhh… can’t keep… going!!!! FUCK!!!” She came so hard her entire body went stiff as her legs twitche
Months later Alpha Damien’s POV Waking up to feel her soft breath fanning gently across my chest made my heart flutter. No matter how much time passes with her by my side I still feel like it’s the first day again. That moment when I scented her in the woods changed my entire world. She sees now how truly strong and beautiful she is. It warms my heart to feel her continuous outpouring of love she exudes daily. My mind body and soul truly feel at peace now that we have fought our way to live peacefully within our pack and her previous one that Levi, her brother, runs with love like we do. As she shifted her body slightly I felt a wave of movement roll across my back making me jump slightly as I turned to look down at her. Her eyes slowly opened, her eyelashes skimming so softly across me before she graced me with her smile. “Did they wake you again?” She asked with a gravely tone to her sweet voice. I couldn’t help but smile as I reached down to caress her bell
Dahlia’s POV Continued Over the next few weeks I watched my brother come back and forth to see Rose. They began dating but today is the first day that she will be traveling with Levi back to my old pack. I stayed with her last night to help her get ready but we ended up not even getting any sleep because her nervousness was so strong she fidgeted the entire evening. “Please Rose, just try to sit down. I told you that everything was going to be alright.” “What if everyone there hates me?! I’m not a Luna like you, I have no idea how to be what you are to a pack. Let alone a pack of that size! I’m completely out of my depth here Dahls!” Her pitch raised so high as she said the nickname my brother used for me it made me wince slightly before I stood in front of her grabbing her shoulders. “The pack is going to love you Rose. You are compassionate, caring, loving, and you never judge anyone. Look at us. What you did when I came here was something I don’t even know if I
Dahlia's POV Continued Once I left my brother alone with Rose I walked through the hall leading to the stairs before stopping. Everything has changed so much for me in what feels like a blink of an eye. I looked up the next set of stairs to where my room sat before turning to look down the other set of stairs where the front doors sat leading outside and into the woods where Damien found me. Little pieces of memories flashed through my mind of that day. The way I felt lost and scared honestly. How I managed to escape my wedding just to venture too far out of my own territory and into that, if what I believed at the time to be enemy territory. I'll never forget the way his eyes darkened when he looked down at me. Or how I swore I should fear him yet instead was intrigued by the man looming so dangerously over me. It's crazy to me to think about the fact that he knew I was meant to be his yet I didn't. How it could have felt to stand in front of your second chance mate only for
Dahlia's POV Continued "Oh my sweet Rose, he had to. He didn't leave you. He needed to bring back the warriors from his pack. He's Alpha now and has no choice." I held her out from me so she would hopefully look at me, which she shakily did. "He was absolutely torn apart having to leave here. He didn't want to until you had time and chose to see or speak with him. He is broken right now." She sniffed then wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt. Her eyes swirled making it so I could finally see a bit of her wolf sitting there. "Broken?" I sighed, my head tilting to the side as I nodded with a small tip of my lips. I actually felt a bit relieved by the way she was acting. She was scared about this entire situation, but I can see she wants him still. She's curious about him and now I can see that her wolf is as well. They haven't shut put the idea of him. I don't want her to live in fear, but my brother would never hurt her. The thought of him getting rejected b
Dahlia's POV "So you have decided to take Nico as what then Levi?" "As my new Delta. Honestly, I have no idea who to choose for my Beta. You are the only person I have ever trusted to that level before. Everything was planned out for such a long time that I have no idea where to truly go from here now." I wrapped my arms around my brother, hugging him tightly before we pulled away again. "Have you tried to.." "I spoke with her, Levi." The previous day I went in search of Rose. Of course I could have just mindlinked her that I wanted to see her, but I chose not to. I needed to walk around a bit after Damien kept me within the confines of our room for 48 hours. I was feeling a bit stir crazy and so was Alanah. She had been pacing continuously for hours on end feeling trapped. Instead we ventured out, walking around the pack house in search of my best friend. When I did find her, which wasn't exactly hard for me to do, she was out in the small garden she had shown
Levi's POV By the time I made it back home I was a complete wreck. My wolf wasn't speaking to me despite the fact that it wasn't my fault our mate ran away from us and locked herself in her room. Honestly he was upset that I had the audacity to leave pack grounds without trying to see her again. I understood. I felt the pang through my chest within every single heartbeat I managed to pump. My heart shattered when she looked at me with those big beautiful wide eyes. That recognition wasn't what I had wanted. However, knowing more about who she is thanks to Alexi, I understood why she ran off, even if I didn't want to accept it. The bitter feeling of rejection lingered throughout my body, but she needed time. She hadn't outright rejected me so I held on to a bit of hope. Being back in this house feels surreal though. My mother's body had been burned and now sat on the mantel inside the office that used to hold my father. It was a blatant disrespect for him to do su
Dahlia's POV Continued I am unsure when I fell back to sleep but waking alone on a tattered bed was a bit depressing. I felt for Damien but even his scent was a bit weak meaning he had been gone for a bit by now. As I forced my eyes to open I was blinded by the sunlight seeping through the window. Squinting away I rolled to my side only to wince slightly from where the stitches were still woven through my tattered skin. Forcing myself into a sitting position I brought my legs over the side of the bed before my feet touched the ground. Unlike my dream of the past, the floor held a warmth to it. Stretching out my toes I slowly stood myself up. Sore from whatever position I managed to sleep in I stretched out my back only to hear a loud popping sound that made me sigh out in relief. Trudging myself into the bathroom, not bothering to turn the light on just yet, I relieved my aching bladder before standing in front of the sink to look up into the mirror. My hair was atro
Dahlia's POV The moment his lips touched mine a fire ignited deep within my soul. Like everything made sense again in my life. The feel of his rough calloused fingers lightly trailing down my naked back sent a shiver run along my spine. His hands gripped my ass as he hauled me up into his arms, my legs wrapping around his large body. I felt small in his arms. Like he could shield me from the world if he chose to do so. I was safe, protected, wanted, loved. All the things I have truly ever wanted to have or feel my entire existence. He didn't kiss me hard, nor did he hold me tightly. I could feel the worry slipping through the connection we shared at the weakened state I was still in. He was gentle as he carried me across the room to the shredded bed. The bed I managed to destroy all because of stupid dreams of a past I will never have to go back to again. I was truly and unequivocally free for the first time ever. He was gone. The man that did everything in his power
