GREY“FFFFUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!” I scream at the black lake. The moon above it is partly covered by clouds. My dress shoes slip in the beach sand as the light of the stars shimmer on the water.I’m full of all kinds of anger.I tip back my big bottle of Jack, pouring whiskey down my throat like it’s my fucking job.I empty the bottle and with a loud Alpha growl, I throw it in to the lake. I stumble to my RAM1500 Sport and grab another bottle.I stumble back to the shoreline and slam my ass in the sand. At this point, I don’t know whether to fucking cry or go on a rampage snapping necks.Even though feeling foxy lady’s feelings was killing me, not feeling them is even worse.With rage, I pull at the bracelet. “Fucking get off!!” I grind out. I pull until I can’t breathe and give up after I see blood. I have to remember I can’t heal right now.I scrub my hands through my hair. The heat burning in me is firing out each and every pour. My dress shirt is so drenched in sweat, you’d think I went
GREY“Argh.” I fall to my knees. The pain and heat are getting to be too much. My heads barely there.Wes picks me up. “Come on, bro. Just a little farther. We’ll get Mia to reject you and you’ll be ok.” He grits at my weight.“I can’t…” I pant. I can barely breathe.“Yes, Grey. You can. Stand up!” Wes struggles.Lucius comes over and grabs my other arm. They both lift me up. “Walk.” Lucius barks.I turn my head. I can barely see him. “Fuck...you.” I say weakly.He smirks. “Come on.” He bounces me, adjusting my arm in his.Wren comes over and picks up my head. She runs her palms around my sweat soaked face. “He’s burning up. We need to hurry.”“Too bad…he’s not…as hot as…me...huh, Wren.” I smile.She smirks. “In your dreams, Grey.” She slaps my cheek and makes my head fall.We walk the last leg and arrive at Mia’s village.“Tay!” Lucius barks.Some people run from the camp to his house. Moments later, Tay comes jogging out. Lucius hands my arm to Wren and they hold me steady.“Lucius?
MIAWe pulled into the giant house driveway. It’s definitely better than the desert house of the Alpha.Sage comes around to my door and opens it. “Come, Mia.” He holds out his hand and I take it.I take in everything. The white stone walls. The Phoenix decorations. The stone steps.People are rushing around to do tasks and meet us.A man runs up the Sage and hands him a paper. “The Nordic pack requests a meeting to discuss the Alliance.”Sage rubs his head. “Damn. I hate the cold. Fine. Tell him I’ll meet him in three weeks time.”“Mia. Let’s get you to your room.” Sage smiles.I hide my face and follow him up the white steps. We walk down a hallway with lots of gold statues and red carpets.He opens a door and leads me in. “I hope you like it.”My jaw almost hits the floor. There’s a white bed with a red flame blanket on it. A giant red and blue bird with wings spread out over it.Red, fluffy carpet on white floors. Red curtains hang in the large windows. The white walls are covered
MIAI sit at my vanity staring at myself in the mirror. I don’t look different, but I feel different.I feel empowered. Fulfilled. I know my purpose now.I raise my hand and place my forefinger and thumb close together. Not touching. Tiny red and blue sparks dance between them. My healing.I look at my arm and trace the scars the Alpha gave me with my fingers.I take my palm and hover it down my arm. Red and blue sparks dance across it. The scars disappear and I smile.Suddenly, I feel strange. I feel pain. I tilt my head in the mirror. My reflections eyes meet mine and I feel heat. It’s stifling. I find it hard to breathe. It’s not mine.“Grey.” I whisper.I close my eyes and see his face. It’s hurting. He’s in pain. He’s covered in sweat. He’s coming. He doesn’t have much time. I feel his heart breaking because mine is too.He needs me, but he needs to know I can’t leave. He won’t be leaving either.I have to connect with him.When I do, I can see and feel his pain. He feels rejecte
GREYI can feel her already. The air is just as thick as it was a year ago. The electricity pricks my skin all over. I step slowly as I approach her door. Her scent swirls around my head. I feel light headed. I can barely breathe as I reach for the knob and turn it slowly to open it.It opens to a huge white and red room. I step in slowly.I search the room and swallow. The pressure is intense. She’s everywhere. I’m being pulled across the room to the red curtains floating in the breeze.I slowly walk toward them, I reach out and part them. Stepping through.My breath is sucked in as I see her. My air is gone. She’s so goddamn gorgeous. My skin is on fire. I’ve spent a year chasing this woman and now she’s in front of me. Leaning on the balcony railing. Her strawberry scent filling the air around me. I don’t know what to say.I walk up to her and she stares at me with those big, beautiful brown eyes. I’m lost. Completely lost.I step closer. The bond snapping back and forth. I only wa
MIA “Get in here.” Grey growls playfully, pulling me into the elevator. He pins me on the wall and kisses my neck. He’s making me heat right to my middle. I thought being with the Alpha for so long would turn me away from anything like sex, but between the mate bond and the pool, I’m feeling good about eventually taking the next step, but I want to make sure were both ready for it. We don’t know each other. But, man. Can he kiss. My body just responds to his. We were definitely made for each other. He moves to my lips and bruises them. He scoops an arm under my but and lifts me up. My legs wrapping around his waist. He opens an eye and reaches for the button to our floor. Then closes it again to continue kissing me. This makes me giggle. “Fuck, I love your giggles.” He bites my bottom lip. He’s completely devouring me. “I’m so glad we stopped for the night.” He kissed my neck. The elevator dings and the door opens. “Not yet.” He growls and closes the doors. “Grey.” I laugh. Pu
GREY“Mates?” Bastian leans on his desk, smiling.We’re in his office and I’m just beaming. “Yep. It’s kind of the reason I’ve been so crazy over the last year.” I rubbed my head.“I’m sorry if I caused any problems for you and Grey.” Mia shrunk a bit behind me.Bastian stood up and buttoned his jacket. “No need to apologize, Mia. I’m sure the both of you didn’t do it on purpose.” He walked over and extended his hand out. “Congratulations, Grey. You got a fine woman.” He grinned at Mia.I shook his hand. “Yep. She’s a cutie.” I turned to my foxy lady and preened.Bastian put his hands in his pockets. “So I guess you’re here to get a mate room.” He smirks.“Yeah. If you got one. I mean, my beds small, but I don’t mind.” I wiggle my brow, smirking.Mia stares, looking between the two of us. Not really getting the innuendo.Bastian laughs and claps my shoulder. “Yeah. You can have the room next to River’s. I’m sure he won’t mind having new neighbors. He’s hardly there anyway.”“That’s co
MIA“We’re here!!” I hear from the hallway. My eyes almost jump out of their sockets as the door to our room flies open and women come pouring in.I sit on the bed as the Lunas all come in with bags and boxes and a whole bunch of dresses.“Hi. I’m Anna.” A tall woman with brown and blonde hair puts her hand out.I shake it. “Hi. Mia." I say a bit overwhelmed.The bed bounces beside me. “Remember me?” Sarah bounces beside me.“Yep. Hi!” I chirp.“Hi. I’m Samantha, but you can call me Sammy.”My jaw goes slack. “Your eyes are so cool.”“Thanks. I like the red streak in your hair.” She smiles.I blush. “Thanks.” I’m not used to so much attention.“Hello. I’m Alexi.” She sits on my other side. “Don’t worry. I felt the same way when I met the ladies too.”“Okay, girls. Give her some space. Geez.” Wren pushes between Anna and Sammy.“Wren!” I smile.“Hey! You ready to party?” She smiles.“I think so. I’ve never partied before.” I tuck my hair behind my ear.“You’re going to love Feral. It’s
GREY“Yes, Mia…” I breath as I grip her ass. She’s riding my dick like a goddess.“Yessss!.....” She leans back on my legs and thrusts her hips faster.“Fuck….Mia….I’m coming……” My thighs shake and my body tightens. I slam my come into her dripping pussy.She keeps riding until I have to pull her down and stop her.She kisses me hard.I move hair out of her face. “My 6am alarm just got even better.” I kiss her neck and bite it.“I can’t believe you’re this awake.” She smiles.I grin. “It’s a great time to be awake.”Mia gets off me and rummages through the dorm dresser. She pulls out two towels. “My training test is today. I’m so nervous.”I wrap a towel around her as she puts up her hair. I grab mine and wrap a towel around my waist.“You just need to loosen up.” I grab my phone and press play on The Clash.I start dancing when ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go' starts to play.Mia giggles out the door. In the halls, the people are stumbling to the locker room. I walk with Mia singing in
MIAWith Kay-Os raging all over the east, I’m left feeling horrible.I was telling the truth when I told Grey I’d never take my choice back. Really, I can’t even if I wanted too, but I won’t regret my choice.I don’t wish people to die, though.When I made my choice, I was expecting our mysterious hero to show up just as Kay-Os did, but it seems he’s abandoned us. It’s the only regret I have. I put too much trust in Celine and Fate. I should have known they would be wrong.So, we’ll go forward and forget the hero to save us. We have a plan anyways.Grey’s dad provided some really good information.Belladonna. A wicked poison. Can kill a shifter in seconds in large enough doses. There’s no healing from it. If there’s any truth to Grey’s dad’s story, it will slow Kay-Os down. We will then lock him in a pure silver prison and dunk it back in the pool. We hope this will work because if not, we got no plan B.“Bastian, he’s on the move to Morgan.” River informs.“Shit. Call the Alpha and i
GREY“There’s still no sign of cowboy.” River says, tossing satellite images on the conference table. “These are from ten hours ago. We have noticed a few red wolves still kicking around.”Bastian picks up the photos. “They joined him?”River nods. “It looks like.”“Bunch of yellow bellies.” Luke grumbles.Jayson rolls his eyes. “Will you stop! You’re not a cowboy.”“A cowboy is a guy with guts and a horse. I have both.” Luke smirks.Jayson scrunched his face. “You don’t have a horse!”Luke puts on a goofy smile. “I have a steel horse." He nods.Jayson puts his head in his hand and groans. “Oh God.”Bastian chuckles. “Anyway, we keep an eye on it. I don’t want any surprises.”“Any sign of this other guy?” I lean on the table.“Nope. Whoever he is, he’s taking his dear sweet time to show up.” River says, resting his head on his fingertips.I slump back in my chair. “Fuck. Why’s he hiding? It’s his fucking problem. What’s he waiting for, an engraved invitation?”Bastian shrugs. “Who kno
MIAIt was nice for the Unit to give me and Grey a bit of a honeymoon, but now Grey has to go back to work and I get to join his recruitment team. Yay me. Huge eye roll. I don’t like fighting, but Grey insists I need to keep my skills up.“Don’t hurt me.” I grumble.He stands with his hands on his hips. “Mia, I’m not going to hurt you. You’re my foxy lady. It’s the last thing I want to do.”“I just don’t see why I need to do this.” I whine.He holds my arms. “Babe, there’s new threats out there and I want you to be able to hold your own.” He backs up. “Try and trip me.”I run at him and he tries to grab me, but I duck under his arm and try to hook his foot. He’s so heavy, I tripped myself and landed face first in the grass.“Babe, you ok?” He says, trying to stifle a laugh.“I’m fine.” I growl.He helps me up. “Ok, maybe sparring with me isn’t a great idea. You need someone a bit more your size.” He looks around.“Good luck. Everyone’s huge here.” I cross my arms and scowl.His eyes g
GREYI knew Mia would fit right in.When we got home, my dad greeted her with open arms. “Come here. It’s so great to have a daughter.” He smiles as he hugs her. Then he turns to me. “You come here, too.” He gives me a many hug. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my dad so happy.Wes came in behind us. “Where’s my hug?” He pretends to pout.“Alright. I’m in a good mood. Why not?” My dad laughs and gives Wes a hug.“You deserve it too, little bro. You did save my life.” I wrap my arm around him and shake him.“Yeah, well, just don’t make dying a habit Ok. I don’t want to keep carrying your ass to the pool.” He chuckles.My dad looks confused. I tap his arm. “I’ll tell you later.”“Well, I know if your mother were here, she’d be so proud of you boys.” He puts his hands in his pockets.I bite my lip. “Yeah. She would have loved you.” I look at Mia.She slides her arms around my waist. “I’ll try and make her proud.”My Mia is so caring I can’t even begin to reach her level.I grab her hand. “Co
MIA“So Mia, how does it feel to be mated to Grey finally?” Sarah smiled, rubbing her ever growing baby bump. Again, I eye it because now I can’t give that to Grey.“Doesn’t really seem real yet. It’s just feels like a dream right now.” I smile.Anna bounced her crossed leg. “Are you ready to be Luna?”“No.” My brows shot up. “I’m so not ready. I spent my life being ordered around. I don’t think I could do the ordering.Anna laughed. “Mia, we don’t order people around.”“Well, maybe the Alphas.” Sarah chuckles.“We don’t order them. We push them in the right direction.” Sammy giggles.“Yeah, our direction.” Anna scoffs.This gets chuckles all around.“Seriously, Mia. Lunas don’t order. We take opinions and make decisions based on what we think is right. Just like the Alphas do.” Anna says.“Except for that one.” Sarah scowls.We all turn our heads. Everyone groans. I look at the woman with curiosity. “Who’s she?”Anna sighs. “Eve Jacobs. The princess of Caledon. Her brother was River’
GREYI look into her eyes, moving her red lock behind her ear. I know everything’s right. My Mia is in my arms.We’re sitting on the bed in our dorm room. Candles on the dresser and our song playing in the background.Our legs are intertwined.I’m gently running my fingers down her cheek, kissing her soft lips. The bond is just as strong as it was before. I think even more now because it’s our second chance.“I love you.” I whisper.“I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” Her fingers trace my jawline.“Never. Never again, will you feel alone. No matter what, I’ll always come for you.” I kiss her again.“I want your mark.” She places her forehead on mine.“I want yours.” I smile.She places her hands on my head and pulls me in for a deep kiss.I pull her body to me and adjust us so she’s in my lap.We kiss deeply as my hands slide under her shirt, up her back.I move my lips to her neck as I lift her shirt up, pulling back to take it off.She moans when I take each of her breasts into my mouth
MIA“Grey….”I feel light. Like I’m floating. I feel warm, but I know I’m not. I feel…..dead.“Wake up, Mia"That voice. It sounds familiar.“Mia, wake up. There’s not much time.”It’s pulling on me. Shaking me into reality. It wants me to wake up, but I’m so peaceful just floating.“WAKE UP!”I jolt and try to breathe, but I can’t.I’m under water.I look for the surface and swim up and breach it, gasping for air.I wildly look around and I’m in a lake. The lake. I look for the shore.Once I find it and tilt my head. Kimi is standing on the shore with her hands clasped in front of her.I swim toward the shore and start to walk up the shallows to the pebble beach.“Kimi? What?” I say as I wring out my shirt.“Hello, Mia. A lot’s happening right now." She smiles.“Why am I here?” I step up to her.“You have a choice to make, Phoenix.” She waves me to the log.I follow her and sit down, wringing out my hair. “What choice could I possibly have?” I scowl at her.She looks at me. “To recon
MIA“Let me go!” I yell as Sage drags me upstairs.“You’ll fulfill your duties as Phoenix, Mia. We need a child and damn it, I’m going to fucking make one!” He growls as I fight his grip.“I’ll never lay down with you!” I punch his hand.He pulls me to him and points a finger in my face. “You have no choice. This is why you’re here. Just like your mother before you.” He stares right into my eyes.“You killed my father, didn’t you?” Tears well in my eyes.“I didn’t. The Alpha before me did. Then he made you.” He dragged me the rest of the way and threw me into my room.“You damn Phoenix birds just can’t stay put. Always have to leave and explore.” He walks around removing his jacket and unbuttoning his shirt.I look wildly around for escape.“You all do the same fucking thing. Find a mate outside and bring him back. Trying to change us. Trying to infect our bloodlines. The first red wolf Alpha was red and he will remain red for the rest of time.”“What are you saying? You’ve all spent
