Chapter 27 – Emotions“Come on Lucy dig deep and find that anger to fuel the fire circle.” Alpha Knox said. I was currently at the north end of the territory with Alpha Knox and Diesel, practicing my element training. I kept putting up a fire circle around them and Diesel kept extinguishing it with water and snow. I actually managed to singe his arm hairs yesterday.It’s been a week since Diesel first saw Lia and I’ve been training every day. Payton trains in human form with me, teaching me how to spar, strike and defend while Diesel coaches. Then I spend an hour with Alpha Knox on my elemental training and Diesel helps. After lunch, Diesel and I train in our wolf forms, with Payton coaching, because I can’t mind link with Diesel yet, so she calls out the instructions from him.We’ve discovered that my fire power is linked to my emotions. While elemental wolves can only control the element, they cannot produce the element. Diesel must have a water source to manipulate and control the
Chapter 28 – ClaimedHis lips came crashing down on mine. I kissed back just as hard and just as hungry. I wanted him more than anything. I wanted to feel him deep inside of me, claiming me, possessing me. There was a fire raging inside of me and it needed him. I reached down and pulled his shirt over his head and kissed his neck. He growled with pleasure. “Lucy, you’re going to drive me crazy.”“Good.” I said and locked lips with him again, our tongues dancing with each other. He pulled my dress up and threw it on the floor. Then he trailed kisses down my chin, throat and chest before removing my new black lace bra and tossing it over his head. He kissed and caressed my breasts gently biting and sucking on my hardened nipples.Slowly he kissed down my stomach and hooked his fingers in the waistband of my tights and panties, sliding them off together. I laid completely naked before him. His eyes darkened and his aura radiated heat and desire.My heart was racing, and I felt the heat p
Chapter 29 – Mystery ScentDiesel’s POVIf it was up to me, I’d spend all weekend wrapped up in bed with her. But she insisted we get cleaned up and head downstairs for breakfast. I could hear her in the shower and decided it might be faster if I joined her. I stepped into the large rock shower and stood under the rain fall water head with her. I quickly washed my hair and Lucy started soaping me up with her loofa.When she reached my rod, she spent extra time washing and stroking it. The beast stirred inside of me; she was teasing me. I instantly hardened and she smiled, pleased with her handy work. She rinsed me off and dropped to her knees taking me into her mouth. She sent my world spinning in less than ten minutes and swallowed every last drop. “Happy Birthday Baby!” She smiled up at me.“Happy Birthday indeed.” Duke purred at me.I was about to scoop Lucy up and take her back to the bed when Payton mind linked me. She had been on patrol early this morning. “Alpha, we’ve picked u
Chapter 30 – SurpriseWith three days left until the Luna ceremony, Diesel and Payton had stepped up their training sessions. I was ready to join the warriors in training. I was currently walking towards the east end of our territory, to the training grounds and arena. The indoor arena was used during the snow season for trainings. Diesel and Payton were already at the arena and Alpha Knox walked with me.There was something so warm and comforting when I was with him. He had worked hard to help me train and control my element. When he wasn’t working hard, he spent time cooking for us and telling me stories about the mischief he and my father got themselves into when they were young. Being here at Crescent Moon, with him, felt like home.Most Alpha’s lose their sanity, become cruel killing machines or withdraw completely when they lose their Luna. Some even kill themselves. When Alpha Knox lost Luna, Clair, he focused his energy on helping his children. His children that Clair had give
Chapter 31 – New AdditionsAfter training, Kayla helped an embarrassed Athena to the infirmary, and we made our way to the family dining room for lunch with our newly arrived guests. I was seated on Diesel’s lap and looked over at a smiling Payton who was happily seated on Max’s lap grinning at all of us. Max was over the moon and Alpha Knox was also beaming with pride.Megan was seated next to Max and we waited for the arrival of the Gamma couple and our Delta to join us. Megan had a quiet and thoughtful look on her face. Platters of food were being brought in and placed in the middle of the table. It smelled delicious; grilled chicken Caesar salads, panini toasted sandwiches and a lovely tomato basil soup.“Maximus, it’s so good to have you with us again, tell me, how are your parents doing these days?” Alpha Knox asked.“They’re doing well Sir, thank you. They’ve been traveling throughout Europe a great deal.” Max responded.“That’s wonderful to hear.” Alpha Knox smiled. “Megan my
Chapter 32 – LessonsDiesel’s POVIt was just before dawn and the flames in the fireplace flickered. I sat quietly in the armchair in our bedroom while Lucy was still sleeping. She seemed a little tired last night, so we went to bed early after dinner to give the newly mated couples alone time.I couldn’t have selected a better mate for my sister and was happy to have Max with us. They were the perfect fit for each other. I can’t help but wonder what Ranger’s reaction will be when he finds out. We haven’t always been like this. Growing up Ranger and I were close; we did everything together. On his eighteenth birthday, we got the same chest and arm tattoos, I was only sixteen at the time. After Ranger got his wolf, we grew apart and he became obsessed with the Alpha role he would soon inherit from our father.Once I turned eighteen and finally had Duke, everything changed. I was not only stronger than Ranger, but also discovered my elemental gift. Instead of seeing me as a strong asset
Chapter 33 – Double SurpriseThis man is going to be the death of me!Diesel just stopped in the middle of heated passion to tease me. He was resting his head on my stomach, not moving or making a sound. What is he doing? Taking a nap on me?I felt Lia stir inside of me and suddenly she was howling with joy. I looked down at Diesel and he looked up into my eyes with so much emotion, not the kind that says, I’m going to rock your world. Nope, this look was the kind that says, I love you so much.“Little one, is there something you want to tell me?” He asked.I wasn’t sure what he wanted to hear. “Umm, Thank you for the swim lessons.” I said.He let out a chuckle. “No, not that, anything else?”I wanted to ask why he stopped suddenly, but Lia was driving me crazy. “Lia, I can’t think with all the howling.” I told her.“Mate is so happy.” She howled back.“I’m sorry, Lia won’t pipe down and it’s driving me crazy.” I told him. “She’s probably just as happy about our pup as Duke is!” He sa
Chapter 34 – Arrangements“So ... Athena, you’re the traitor we’ve been looking for.” Diesel growled.“Oh, come now little brother, all’s fair in love and war.” Ranger said, then he looked at me. “Hello little mate!”“DON’T YOU FUCKING TALK TO MY MATE!” Diesel roared. “AND PULL YOUR FUCKING PANTS UP! I’M GOING TO HAVE TO BURN THAT DAMD CHAIR NOW.”I noticed coals in the fireplace that were dying down. “Allow me.” I waved my hand and the whole chair lit up in flames.“WHAT THE HELL?” Ranger jumped back.After the leather chair was charred, I waved my hand again and the flames disappeared.“You’re elemental too?” Ranger asked.“And if you come near me, I will not hesitate to burn you alive!” I said and could feel Diesel’s pride radiating.It was strange seeing him; I remember a time when the sight of him made me nervous and fearful. A time when I would have given anything for his love and affection. Not anymore. Diesel was everything Ranger could never be, even though they looked so muc
