Chapter 39Deacon’s eyes go wide before he just vanishes. Shit, shit, shit. This can't be happening right now. I feel as though something is trying to break through my skin. I try to fight the feeling, rubbing desperately at my arms.“Get her out!” Noel shouts, his tone is urgent. Which doesn't help my rising panic. My skin is on fire, and I fight off the hands that are trying to touch my seared skin. I scream and thrash in the water. “Stop fighting it!” someone roars, but how can I? I can't just stand here whilst I boil from the inside out. Despite my protest, I'm dragged onto the river bank and without the ice-cold water surrounding me, the heat intensifies. I attempt to run back to the water but I'm tacked to the ground.“It burns,” I scream and thrash under the weight of the body on top of me. A hand grips my chin hard, holding my head still and Mason’s furious eyes look down at me.“Shift,” he demands. “Stop fighting her and fucking shift,” “I can't,” I shout through gritted tee
Chapter 40I edge towards the door, listening for any sign of who it is. I try to use the super hearing thing but either the person behind the door is extremely silent or I've not mastered how to turn my super ears on. “Who is it?” I ask.“It’s me, I'm alone. Can you please open the door before my arms fall off,” Dot says. I open the door quickly with a grin. Dot stands in my doorway with her arms full. She has a small bunch of pink flowers in a vase, a small wolf teddy and two carrier bags. The scent of Chinese food hits my nostrils and I almost yank the bag from her hand. It has the same logo from my favourite Chinese restaurant printed on the bag and I wonder if Mr Collins told Luke where I liked to eat. I take the flowers and teddy from her and she walks in, closing the door behind her. “These are beautiful,” I smile as I admire the flowers before placing them on the dresser. “Well, they're not from me, I walked through the door and your men loaded me with this stuff and told m
Chapter 41I snatch up my mobile phone from the human realm that I'd left on charge in the living area then hug Dot and thank her for everything before rushing back to my room and locking the door. Although what Dot had told me about Mason weighs heavy on me I also feel lighter at everything I've learnt. One way or another I'll break down his walls and find Dot’s brother. I'm still terrified about going into heat but I can't change it. I just have to accept it and go with it. I bet it could actually be fun. Like a sex marathon, let's just hope Mason won't be a dick about participating. I put a message in the group chat, thanking them for the food, gifts and space. Then I begin to run a bath. Whilst I wait for the water to fill the tub I turn on my human phone, there's no signal, which I'd expected, but I still have all my photos and music that I had downloaded. I put one of my playlists on and flick through my photos. It’s mostly selfies I’d taken with my best friend, Freya, I miss he
Chapter 42“Get out!” I shriek and cover my eyes. I can't look at them. I don't want to trigger my heat yet. I'm not ready.“Who was in here with you?” Mason demands. “No one, I had a dream, now please get out,” I admit.“That was a dream?” Mason sounds suspicious. “Yes, I swear it, I woke up to you banging on the door. As you can see there is no one in here with me,” “It’s the heat starting,” Luke says, his voice full of concern.“Is this how it starts?” I ask, unable to stop my lip trembling. “Yes, it can do. It's just your wolf telling you what she wants. It’s how she communicates with you,” Luke explains. “But the good news is, we are all here for you and we don't have to avoid you anymore, once it starts there's no stopping it and being around us won't speed it up,” “Are you sure?” “Yes,” his fingers gently wrap around my wrists and he prys them from my face. I blink up at him and he smiles softly at me, “Hi,” “Hi,” I whisper, my voice thick with emotion. I wrap my arms aro
Chapter 43Every minute I spend lying against Mason is like heaven. I don't ever want to move from here. I want this to be my new home.“What's going on?” Theo asks.“Theo,” I groan. I need him. I need to feel him. “You fucking idiots left her alone,” Mason growls. “Shit, Jose, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were this far along,” Theo says, his voice coming closer.“Here, you take her,” Mason says and begins to lift me, I cling to him like a baby monkey.“No, please,” I whimper. With a sigh he relaxes, accepting his fate as my new home. “Take your shirt off and get behind her,” he says and moments later Theo’s chest presses against my bare back and I hum. Just when I thought I couldn't feel any more content Theo comes along and doubles it. “Oh crap, is it happening?” Luke's voice comes next and I fill with warmth at the sound of him. I'm not sure how he is going to fit in the Josie sandwich but I'm willing to try. “Not quite, but she can't be left alone now. Luckily, I got here wh
Chapter 44Theo’s finger circles my tight hole, reminding me of my dream last night. I push all thoughts of Deacon from my mind as Theo gently slides his finger in, my pace falters and I almost collapse against Mason's chest. “Whatever you are doing to her is making her greedy pussy clamp down like a vice,” Mason grunts and Theo gently pumps his finger in and out. Mason begins guiding my movements with my hips and I bring my mouth to his to shut him up. Kissing him deeply. “Let me show you,” Theo hums, bringing his other hand in to join the party. He gathers some of my wetness from Mason's shaft as I rise up and then Mason grunts into my mouth. I think I can guess why and strangely it sends a thrill through me. I break away from Mason's mouth as my orgasm builds. Picking up my pace as I chase my pleasure, riding Mason's cock and Theo’s finger at the same time. Just as I reach the edge Theo pulls his finger from me, giving me the final push into oblivion. I scream up to the gods, ridi
Chapter 45I lay in a hot bath with Luke behind me, gently massaging my shoulders as I sip coffee and nibble on toast. I could get used to this life. “Are you still feeling okay?” Luke asks. “I feel great actually,” I smile, I do feel amazing.“Good, as soon as you feel the slightest twinge of it coming back then say something, we can try and stop it before it gets painful,” “I will. How long do I have before it comes back?” “No idea, it could be minutes or hours. If you want to bond with Axel and Theo first then you should do it soon,” he says.“Is that why you all had a mad rush to get everything done?” I ask.“Yes, we are taught to act quickly after the need passes. Comfort, clean, food, clean, drink, clean is what is drilled into us,” he explains.“There's an actual class for this?” I laugh. “And why so many cleans?” “You’d be surprised just how many classes we have on how to care for our bond, as soon as we hit 16 we are taught about the heat and how to deal with every aspect
Chapter 46Axel rolls us so I'm beneath him, he holds his weight off of me. The muscles in his strong arms flexing. I glide my hands over his biceps, appreciating how they feel under my fingers. Another cramp grips me and I suck in a sharp breath. I really want to take this slow with him, with lots of foreplay to get him comfortable, but my wolf is a needy little bitch and is not interested in any of that. Axel pushes himself up to his knees and shoves down his shorts without hesitation, his need to ease my pain overriding any apprehension he has. He grabs my hips and drags me down the bed towards him, totally shocking me and impressing me at the same time as he lifts my hips and positions himself at my entrance then he slides in in one easy stroke. “Fuck, you feel incredible,” he hisses and I gasp at how beautifully full I feel. “You’re so warm and wet, just perfect,” he withdraws almost completely, “look how well you take me,” he groans, sliding back in. I am utterly gobsmacked at t
