Bronx's POV I never imagined how perfect my first time would be. I feel pure contentment as I lay next to Kas, but I also feel lust for more at the same time. Kas has an arm and a leg draped over me. I use my fingertips to gently caress her arm as we admire each other. Her beautiful violet eyes look tired, which is expected. A first shift takes a lot out of you. There was still a glint of mischief in there too. I take her hand and kiss it. "You're amazing." I smile at her as I tuck some sparkly stray hairs behind her ear. "You called me your little goddess." She smiles sleepily. “Well, you're mine and you are a goddess, aren't you?” “Yeah, I suppose that's true." She muses, looking into the distance. “And compared to just about the rest of the world, except maybe fairies and tree sprites, you are little." I tease. "That makes you my little goddess.” "Hey! I've grown half an inch since I've been here." She giggles at me. I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer so I can pe
Bronx's POVI spend the remainder of the weekend at Lune D'or. I catch up with Henri and his son Martin who is now Alpha Regent and join in on a pack run. I even lead a couple of training sessions with their elite warriors. At dinner on Saturday evening, I meet Martin's in-laws. They own a bakery in town. The kitchen staff had told them about Kas wanting to learn how to make croissants which they found endearing. They give me their family recipe for baguettes to give to Kas when she gets home. It's in French, so I need to see if Cason will translate it for me. I know she's going to love it. Surprisingly, I don't feel empty like I had the last time I left Kas. It's almost like our time together energized and motivated me. I do a lot of research and get a ton of work done on the flight home and feel refreshed when I land. I'm completely ready to dive into work for MasonCo and bide my time until I see Kas again. When I get to the packhouse, I start to feel the sadness creep in, but I re
After making amends with Lenora by promising her two new pairs of shoes, we focus on work. In the last week, Lenora had brought in four large international contracts she had been working on for months. We need to get set up and staffed in the various countries and work with the local governments to ensure we have the correct permits to conduct our work. I know my team can do it without me, but I welcome the distraction. In my free time, I'm in my library drowning in research. The more I research, the more I feel like a speciesist asshole. For years, I let myself believe in preconceived notions about other paranormal species that simply weren't true. I never questioned what I had been told by the people around me. It's eye opening and humbling to learn the facts. It makes me realize I need to change my ways and I need to do a better job at educating my pack.In addition, Milo and Reggie are calling Alphas and drafting a charter I can present to Lady Camille. On Thursday, they present
We spend all day in the cottage in the woods, mostly with no clothes on. While, yes, it intensifies our physical connection, our emotional connection is beyond anything either of us could have ever imagined. I can't even imagine how much more intense things will be when I'm finally able to mark her. It's Saturday evening and we are laying in bed with our bodies intertwined. I'm playing with a lock of her hair while she nuzzles my neck. “Kas, do you think things will change when you come home or will we still be this close? Because when you first came here and I had to go home alone, I felt like the world was going to end. Nothing made me happy. Saint wouldn't even talk to me." “But last time when I went home, it was like I was completely energized and ready to get back to normal. I mean, I missed you like crazy, but I had hope in my heart. And now? I feel like I could go home and could take on the world. Once you're back, I'm going to be unstoppable." I explain as I continue to play
"I think the one thing I still don't understand is when you talk about our lives that haven't happened yet. You're a goddess, so you are going to keep being reincarnated. I just have a regular old human spirit." I try to justify when she is done talking. “Actually...you're not just a regular human spirit. Just like my spirit is tied to Lex, yours is tied to Saint. I've just been attached to her longer. Your spirit had to come into existence before it could be linked to Saint's. Can you believe we've been together before? In our previous lives. Which means, so have Saint and Lex." She talks excitedly as she piles the food in layers in a ceramic dish. She looks up to see me looking at her in disbelief. I am trying to connect the dots of what she's saying. I swear I'm not usually this dense."Pick your jaw up off the floor, Sweetheart. I'm not the only one who's been reincarnated here, Bronx. You have been too. Lots of times. It's easier for Saint and Lex to remember for some reason. As
I leave the coven with a flame of joy in my heart. When I get back to the packhouse and tell everyone the good news, the atmosphere couldn't be more celebratory. I want to do something special for James and Marco as a thank you. I give Ashley orders to spruce up their homes. Especially James's house to make it comfortable for Delilah. I also have her set up classes for the pack, focusing on speciesism and being more open-minded. Not just for MasonCo employees, for everyone. Presumably, other pack members may have mates that are not werewolves. I want to make sure everyone is prepared and respectful of the mate bond, regardless of species. Ashley takes several omegas to help get the work done at James's house. Fresh paint, new bed, new linens, dishes, and such. Leaving it just plain enough that Delilah and James can to decorate it to their taste. She has the pantry filled with staples and pre-orders perishable food to put into the refrigerator the day before they come home. She doesn
In the morning, I board the jet, only to find an unfamiliar pilot performing preflight checks. Oh, Hell no. I'm not going to fly with a pilot I don't know. First off, I have no idea what his experience is. Secondly, too many media outlets try to sneak around to get information about me and my company. I wouldn't put it past a network to plant a pilot to try to get intel on me. MasonCo is a multibillion dollar corporation. Because of the nature of our work, I usually decline interviews. I don't need any information about my clients to accidentally leak to anyone. Unfortunately, this tactic makes the media more desperate to find out how I am so successful. When I do go out in public in the human world, paparazzi always seem to find me and make up the most ridiculous shit about my business dealings and relationship status. This guy looks familiar, but I can't put a finger on where I have seen him before. Definitely not on one of my private flights. My intuition suddenly tells me I n
Kas's POV Tomorrow is the big day! I'm finally going home. Oh, my Goddess! Thinking about being able to sleep and snuggle up to Bronx every night, being able to get into a routine with the pack, and continuing to hone my abilities, it all sounds perfect. For the first time in my life, I am truly looking forward to my future. I have hope in my heart. Lex is excited because she will have more opportunities to run on the Blood River pack territory. She is looking forward to the additional freedom. I can't blame her. As she has become stronger, she has more energy to burn. Some days I feel like I am vibrating from the inside out because she has trouble containing her energy. I'm also really excited that Delilah and James get to stay together. They are so in love. It is adorable to watch them together. Who knew such a ferocious warrior could turn into such a mushy little pup when he is around his mate? She is going to fit in perfectly with the pack. Marco has been a trooper throughout th
