Kiera POVBy sunset I was dragged back to my cell by a guard. I guess my sister grew bored of me. Despite hours of torture and humiliation my body was feeling less pained. I was hosed down then give an old dirty shirt to wear then locked away. I stared at the cement wall, half alive, half dead, wearing just an oversized t-shirt with holes and stains. I thought about everything that happened these last few weeks and I didn't know who I was anymore. My stomach twisted in knots every time I remembered Jackson speaking a kind word to me. I couldn't get over how fake it all was. How could someone treat me with so much love, but not actually love me?I pondered at the idea of escaping. I had no clue how to get away, especially with this bracelet digging into my skin. I did fantasy about starting over though. I was raised to be a Luna, but I didn't want that responsibility anymore. It was ingrained in me to lead, but after seeing the people I loved and cared for my whole life shun me, I cou
Kiera POV"I can't, I'm sorry." I panted hard, squeezing my eyes together. My body burned in pain and my legs became to weak to hold me up."We're more than half way there. A little..." Devon started a speech of encouragement, but I collapsed to the ground. I rolled on my back and stared at the thick layers of tree branches filled with large green leaves. Beyond was the night sky and a few stars shined through. "Kiera!" He growled at me. "Go, Devon. Keep running. I need to rest and will catch up outside our border." I laid as still as a board, trying to steady my breaths. My legs felt broken they throbbed so bad."I'm not leaving you.""You promised. Go!" I ordered him."Fine, but you're coming with me." He peeled his shirt off and I scrunched my eyebrows at him. Then he removed his pants and I closed my eyes. What the hell is he doing?"Put this in your bag." Dirty underwear fall right on my face."Ew! I didn't want to know what your ass smelt like." I sat up removing the clothes
River POVThe second my eyes met Chase I knew it was her that caused his pain. My stomach had a sword run through it, but I knew my brother's pain cut so much deeper. He didn't stand before me as the playful deviant I always knew him to be. His body was tense, eyes black with fury, and lips in a deep frown. I didn't even remember what my brother looked liked without his cocky smile."She will pay. We need to retreat for now, but she will pay." I reassured him."Yes, she will." Chase spoke with a dark tone. I never heard him so serious in my life. I had no idea what happened between them, and I didn't need to know. Kiera hurt my brother, my family, and no one gets away with hurting one of us.Drake growled at us both, then quickly turned to kneel on the ground to remove a hidden grate under leaves and brush. I knew he was angry our brother was hurt, but something deeper cut through him too. He was good at hiding his feelings, but he couldn't keep us out completely."We will quickly re
Drake POVI could feel my brothers taking pleasure with a woman all night, but I had no desire for any. That night I found my mate at the dingy club everything snapped in place for me. She enraged me to have such control over my body. I wanted to break her pretty little neck to cause such a whirlwind inside me. Then I wanted to stab myself in the heart for daring to hurt her. For ten years, I dedicated myself to honing my skills, aiming for the pinnacle of control. One second with her little body as mine and I no longer knew who I was. It was exhilarating bathing in her all night, but when morning came, I had to walk away. I steeled my emotions and resolved to erase her existence from my mind. Despite my efforts, it didn't unfold as planned. I found myself growing increasingly determined to rid her from my thoughts, but my efforts were futile.Then there she stood, resembling a goddess, and only a mere hundred feet away. My heartbeat quickened, palms sweating, and mouth dry. The urg
Kiera POV"You two can sleep in there. I hope by morning you're both gone." Albert, the old man giving us shelter for the night sneered."We need a few provisions and then will be on our way." Devon spoke without an ounce of fear to the man. "Thank you for the food and bed." I gave the man a small smile, hoping to break up some of the tension between us all."Don't thank me when I wasn't given a choice in the matter." "Oh Al, be kind to the young woman." His wife gave him a look that had him softening instantly."Fated?" I asked her."Yes, dear. I cursed the goddess the day I found out she gave me such a cold and emotionless man to spend my life with. In time, I learned he was just a little puppy desperate for love.""Martha!" Albert warned her with a look that would have her six feet under. The woman simply smiled at him."Don't make me upset, dear. Eat your food. Try smiling, you know how much it pleases me." Martha spoke to him like he were a child. The old man with hate engrave
Kiera POV"I didn't know her well. We met in passing only once. I didn't even get her name. She was like a goddess though, lavender eyes and a single strip of purple in her hair. I remember she had a small child clutching her leg.""Where did you met her?" Hope was blossoming inside me. I tried researching about my family, but there was literally nothing to be found. "It was near the border, at a market. The night before we encountered each other, there was an auction house raided by a lone wolf. Witnesses described a woman with purple eyes and a fierce wolf, calling her a witch possessed by demons. She killed nearly a hundred men and rescued numerous women. My husband and I assisted survivors, helping them hide or begin anew. We met at the market to exchange locations of our safe houses, and that was the extent of it."I smiled brightly, imagining this woman as my mother. The idea that someone so fierce could have been my own brought a sense of joy. However, my mood quickly shifted a
Chase POV"Where is our little Beta traitor?" I asked, twirling a thorny white rose in my hand. It reminded me of Kiera and I liked its beauty even as it stabbed my fingers."Alpha Jackson requested his services and is unable to get away." Katherine stood before me, prim and proper with the right kind of sex appeal."Where is our little Alpha?" My tone playfully tinged with annoyance."He and the other Alphas are taking protection in our old pack house.""Old pack house?" I was curious now. I never heard of a territory having two pack houses."It's said to be haunted," she explained, a hint of fear in her voice. "The Alpha and Luna of the old South were brutally murdered there. Some claim the Luna walks the grounds, avenging her death, while others believe she emerges at night in search of her lost daughter.""A haunted pack house? Now I’ve heard of everything!" I laughed at the stupid superstition."I've been there, Chase. There's something not right with the place." Katherine now lo
Kiera POVI couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. It felt unreal, as if this couldn't be my life. Collapsing to my knees, tears of disbelief streamed down my face. My best friend lay lifeless before me, leaving me lost and unsure of what to do or how to feel. If Athena's strength resided within me, I might have surrendered, letting her take over as I crumbled deep within my soul. Yet, she wasn't here, and the harsh reality of being truly alone set in.Madness seethed within me, originally fueled by anger toward Devon, yet I would have never wished for this grim reality. The fury consumed me, a blazing inferno that surged within, scorching every fiber of my being. Without hesitation, I lunged at the man before me. Athena's claws tore through my fingertips, a visceral pain coursing through me in relentless waves. Despite the agony, I pushed it aside, determined to avenge my friend's tragic end, even if it meant facing my own death. My claws tore through his throat, and he gaspe
Kiera POV"I miss our Alphas," Lizzy whined from her pool chair as we lay beneath the hot sun."Me too. They'll return soon," I replied, trying to offer her some comfort."I need attention. The second trimester is a killer. Why would I be twice as horny when I'm already pregnant!" Lizzy turned to her side in frustration. She was huge for only three months along, but she was also carrying triplets, one girl made from each of our Alpha's seed."You've got me for now. Sebastian is finally down for a nap," I said, moving beside her on the lounge chair and hugging her close. My affection for her was undeniable, though we never pleasured each other alone."I know, but I also know you'd rather watch me come than make me come," she giggled in my arms."I do love watching your sexy body. The way the boys own us in bed is so damn hot," I moaned."You're making me hornier, Kiera," Lizzy moaned back at me."Sorry, I can try," I shrugged. I didn't know the first thing about pleasuring a woman, but
Drake POVChase and I came rushing into the bedroom, shock and disbelief all over our faces. We felt a new bond, but more potently, we felt our mate satisfied. We would have never guessed to walk into Lizzy riding our brother while he ate out our little wolf."I wanted her as mine, and now she is." Kiera pouted to me. "I see that, baby," I said as Chase and I took a side of Elizabeth. My fingers brushed over the two marks she now had. "Did my brother and mate mark you?" I asked her. She looked a mess, drowning in her post-orgasm and her wolf demanding more and more. Lizzy was an insatiable demon in bed. River spent days locked away with her body, and she never once denied him."Yes, we accepted each other. I'm sorry. We should have all talked about this first. I got caught up in the moment when Kiera marked me." Her hand went to her neck."Did our little wolf mark you first?" I asked, my head tilting at her in awe. Was this really happening? Did our little mate mark another woman, cl
Kiera's POVI had this idea the day Sebastian was born. I didn't think it would work, but I really hoped it would. Elizabeth wasn't our fated mate, but she was our family every bit as each of us. She proved to be the perfect Luna, my best friend, and I knew she desired both men and women. River and Drake had already been her lover, and Chase was once a playboy who would take anything legal to satisfy his itch. It wasn't a love written in the stars before we were born, but it was a love that had formed over years of friendship, devotion, companionship, and loyalty. The thought of never seeing Elizabeth or her just being a friend to us physically pained me, and I knew it pained River too. She was so much to us that making her our mate seemed to be the only solution.'It's time for River's mark. Are you ready to toy with our Alpha?' I asked her in our newly formed mind link.'Hell yeah! If he doesn't want to mark me, that's okay, too. I'm not sure how this will work, but I want to be wi
River POVMy insides filled with anxiety as we drew closer and closer to our home. The familiar surroundings should have brought comfort, but instead, my heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and dread. I was waiting for any sign of Zeus or the darkness to bubble inside me, praying I never felt their influence again. The remnants of their power, which had once consumed my brothers and me, were constantly pushed down by Kiera's light. Her mark had saved us, renewing our souls and making us more than we ever were before. We couldn't merge our power anymore, nor did we attempt to call on Zeus. Thankfully, we no longer sensed his presence. We remained powerful Alphas, just no longer as unstoppable as we once were.Besides the lingering threat of Dietus, the thought of seeing Elizabeth again made my insides churn uncomfortably. This was truly our final farewell. Elizabeth had told Chase she wished to explore the islands off the coast of the South, claiming that a change of scenery was
Kiera POVWaking from the anesthesia was excruciating, but seeing my little boy in his father's arms lit up my heart. He was perfect, and he was ours.Every single pack member wanted to meet their future Alpha, and I saw the hope in their eyes. Sebastian was more than just a newborn; he was a symbol of renewal and resilience. For months, we had searched our world, trying to eradicate any lingering evil and praying Dietus remained confined to the dark forest. The battles we fought, the sacrifices we made, all led to this moment. The birth of our son wasn't just the start of a new life but the dawn of a new era for our people.As we gathered in the heart of our territory, the sun setting behind the Southern tropical forest, casting a golden hue over the landscape, I could feel the profound shift within our community. The whispers of hope and renewal filled the air, and each pack member's gaze upon Sebastian was a silent vow of loyalty and protection. He was not just our son; he was the
Drake POVWatching my mate scream in pain, her body slick with sweat and her feet propped up in stirrups, was agonizing. The air in the delivery room crackled with tension as River stormed in and out, his wolf barely contained. He wanted to tear apart every doctor and nurse who approached Kiera, but he knew they weren't the ones hurting her."You're doing so good, Cherie. Deep breaths, baby," Chase soothed from her side, his voice a calm anchor. I held her hand, struggling to contain my own wolf, but I knew I wasn't offering her much comfort. Six hours of labor, six hours of relentless pain, and her anguish was evident."Shut up! Just shut up! You asshole! You're such horrible assholes for doing this to me!" Kiera screamed, her voice raw with agony. Her emotions swung wildly from uncontrollable sobbing to spikes of murderous rage, making the room feel like a storm on the brink of breaking.The sweat on her forehead glistened under the harsh lights, and her eyes blazed with both fury a
Kiera POVI laid awake for hours, my body slowly moving to admire each of my mates. It had been three months, the exact amount of time I spent without them in my previous lifetime. Today wasn't filled with despair and hopelessness, though. Today was everything it was meant to be. I had the triplets as mine; I had my son almost ready to be born into our world, and I had peace and love, completeness I never knew existed."Cherie, you're getting excited again." Chase's sleepy voice made my lips smile wide. I couldn't help myself when it came to them. I wanted to be devoured day and night. "I was thinking of the day you marked me. It was the best day of my life." I said, my fingers moving to his long black hair."Mm, one of mine too." He hummed, his nose moving between my legs to take in all of my scent that called to him."What was another?" I asked wistfully."Hmm?" "What was another best day?" I asked, my eyes closed and body soaking up the pleasure his touch gave me."The day we ma
River POVWatching my brothers slam into our mate from front and back as she screamed and clawed at them was so damn sexy. The way this woman submitted to us, fueled by our desire to use her like she was nothing but a cum bucket to us; it had my dick painfully hard. I couldn't help but release all over her breasts. Now that my brothers were done, it was my turn to fill her and mark her as mine.'Take her!' Chaos demanded, my canines peeking through my gums.'We will. First, we make her scream again.' I promised my wolf."You look so tired, Princess." I taunted her, separating those delicious thighs and revealing her swollen pussy. It was red, wet, and opened wide, ready to take another fat cock deep inside her. She was insatiable."Mmm, I want... youuuu." She whispered, trailing off in her words."You will have me." I chuckled, moving between her legs and positioning my tip right at her juicy opening. She was so wet and so damn hot. "Open those eyes for me, princess. I want you awake
Drake POVI watched my perfect woman suck off my brother as my hand-oiled up my cock. I had this feral need inside me to stick my dick tight in her ass. It looked so damn delicious I seriously wanted to take a bite out of the mushy bubble. Chase was losing control as he moved her on the bed, his wolf not caring for the foreplay and needing to finally claim her. We waited too long, and I knew all that frustration would be taken out on Kiera's little holes."Come here, Doll." I grinned while grabbing her one leg, and Chase lifted her waist. We easily moved her on top of me, facing River and Chase and leaving her back to my front. "You're going to ride daddy's cock like a good little girl, aren't you?" I spoke with so much need to be inside her my dick began twitching."Yes, daddy. I want you to cum inside me." She said while arching her back in desire. Another wave of her arousal filled the room, and it damn near knocked me out. She was our perfect little doll to play with. "Our littl
