Xavier stared down at Olympia as she slept; satisfied that she was going to be okay now that she was dry and warm. Once he’d gotten her back to his cabin he’d stripped her and wrapped her in blankets warmed in front of the fire. Hypothermia would have been the least of her troubles had his half-brother Ryder gotten to her first.Even knowing that Olympia was born his mate, Ryder had been hell bent on getting to her first and leaving his mark on her. That would have ruined the elders’ plans, but it wouldn’t have stopped Xavier from claiming her as his. Wolves only had one mate, and they mated for life. As the alpha male in the pack, they could deny him nothing.He’d sensed her presence almost from the moment she’d arrived in Savage Hills, at his invitation, and under the promise of a job. It hadn’t taken him long to locate her, either. Her scent was a powerful aphrodisiac to him, tempting the wolf in him to come out, to seek and protect. The urge to claim her was stronger than he’d ant
Olympia sighed and moved against the soft blankets, confused by what was happening to her. She was alive, but more than that, her body was consumed with a fierce need she couldn’t will away, and she didn’t want to. The feeling coursing through her was stronger than she’d ever known, a hunger that was going to eat her up if she didn’t do something about it, and soon.Was she still sleeping, or locked in some kind of sensual dream? She couldn’t seem to open her eyes. Everything seemed intensified, her heartbeat, her breathing, the erotic rush that followed the caress of her hands as she touched herself. Oh, God! What’s happening to me? Olympia caressed her aching breasts and taut nipples before her hand glided down to the pulsing flesh between her legs.God, I’m so hot!She parted her thighs and touched her tingling clit. It was as hard as a rock and twice the normal size. Rapture overwhelmed her at that slightest touch, causing her to arch her hips off the bed. Why am I so horny? Wha
SHE’S IN HEAT,” WAS the first thing out of Max’s mouth as the two men sat down on the porch steps.An abrupt laugh escaped Xavier that had little to do with humor. “Yeah, I've noticed. It’s been fucking hell.” Keeping his distance, ignoring the pull of her scent would break a weaker man, but that man wasn't him.“You haven’t mated her yet?”Xavier shook his head. “She doesn’t know why she’s here. I at least owe her an explanation before I claim her.” He only hoped that he could hold out.Max chuckled. “You think that’s going to make a difference? Maybe if she’d grown up within the pack and knew our ways, knew what to expect. She was raised differently, cousin. She doesn’t even know that we exist.”“Seeing is believing. Besides, it doesn’t matter what she believes. She’s my mate, and she’ll have to comply with our laws.”It’s going around that you and Clive fought over a woman last night. I’m assuming it was Serena.” Max frowned. “I’m confused over your hostility toward her though. You
Oh my god!Olympia slammed the door shut and locked it. She was trapped in the home of a man who thought he could change into a wolf! She’d gone to the door to ask Xavier if he minded if she made another pot of coffee when she’d heard him say, “I want her, cousin.” Though her name hadn’t been mentioned, instincts warned her that they were talking about her. She couldn’t believe what she’d heard following that.She’d always been curious by nature, too curious; her mother would scold her when she was little. But nothing could draw her away from the door at that point. She stepped back into the shadows when Xavier got up from the steps, only revealing herself when she sensed that their conversation was ending.Terrified, her gaze darted around the room for something, anything she could use as a weapon. All she wanted now was to get out of there alive. The doorknob rattled behind her, and Olympia swung around with a cry. Then, before her disbelieving eyes, the door was kicked in and Xav
Chapter 49Their gazes met and clung as she slowly pulled the tie until it slipped loose. The size of his erection parted the built-in split, but it wasn’t enough. Olympia took hold of the waistband and just as slowly pulled his bottoms down. She dropped with them, keeping her gaze on Xavier’s but very aware of how close his sex was to her face. His cock was long and thick and bobbed as if inviting her to put her mouth on him. The musky scent of his arousal sucked her in.It was an intoxicating aphrodisiac.Olympia couldn’t help it. As she began to rise, she stuck her tongue out and gave his cock a long sweep from where it jutted out at his balls, to the dripping, bulbous head. She heard Xavier's hiss, and then he was hauling her into his arms."I'm going to enjoy fucking you." He kissed her roughly.Being crushed against his naked, aroused body fueled Olympia’s arousal to dizzying heights. His cock slid between her thighs and over her pussy like a hot poker, burning her while turnin
Xavier stared down at Olympia’s lovely face. Wolves relied on scent to assess the world around them; it’s what alerted him when she’d first entered his zone. It was the same distinct scent that told him she was his life mate. The fact that Olympia was easy on the eyes and had a luscious body designed for fucking was an added bonus. They’d just had their first coupling, and he’d been satisfied beyond measure. Especially since she'd been a virgin.Incredibly, his cock was hardening inside Olympia as the wolf lust took control of his senses. Xavier knew that if it were any other woman beneath him, he wouldn’t have a problem getting up and walking away. He'd done it many times before, but he had no control or power when it came to his mate.Olympia’s eyes flew open, and there was no denying the glazed desire that made her pupils dilate. She felt it, too. She whimpered, saying softly and in awe, “It wasn’t a dream.”Xavier could well understand her confusion and disbelief. He’d been raised
Olympia opened her eyes, wincing as she stretched her aching body against the rumpled bedding. Moaning, she began to run her hands down her body, causing a flashback of another’s hands moving over her, leaving in its wake more pleasure than she’d ever known. The distant memory of Xavier’s possession renewed her hunger, and she knew she had to get out of there fast.The mild confusion that came with waking in a strange place was gradually replaced with bits and pieces of realization until the puzzle was complete. Olympia got up, bringing the sheet around her body. Her gaze landed on the brownish spots staining the bottom sheet. She looked away, recalling how eager and willing she’d been in Xavier’s arms, how brazenly she’d given him her virginity. Well, it had been bound to happen sometime.Bright sunlight streamed through the open windows, as well as a cool breeze that carried the alluring scent of fresh pine and springtime. She went to the window and inhaled deeply, filling her lungs
Chapter 52When Xavier entered Savage Hills Hall the heated argument he’d heard outside while parking his vehicle had escalated into some kind of a physical altercation. He picked up his step, opening the door to the conference room in time to see Clive hurl a chair across the room in a rage. It crashed against the wall and splintered."It's not fucking right!" Clive bellowed.A hush fell upon the room when Xavier entered. He stood there for a moment, assessing the situation. The elders were already in their seats at the head of the hall, their expressions revealing their disgust at something that had apparently already happened. It didn’t take a genius to know that it had something to do with his half-brother, who had lately been a topic of discussion. It appeared that his uncontrollable temper was getting the best of him as usual."I suggest you calm your shit down, brother," Xavier demanded with a tight mouth. "Before you make more of a fool of yourself."“There’s no way you can ex
With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side.Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow.Olympia made her way out of their suite after letting Xavier know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there.It wasn't long before she found some of the omegas milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully."I'm looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?"The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway."Last bedroom on the right your highness." They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor.Olympia frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door."Coral? Are you there?" There was a muffled so
After finishing up with Bartholomew, Olympia, and Xavier made their way back to their room. Xavier had some contracts to go over and was determined to conference call Allen and find out exactly what was going on.He had promised Olympia that he wouldn't get too angry with him, but he wanted him to know just how disappointed with him he was. Things could have been so different if he had just acknowledged his bond with Lexi from the start and embraced it. He was an idiot, and Xavier felt that it was about time that someone told him that seriously.Olympia still had to finalize details with Eva for Coral's training and she wanted to at least be able to provide her with a full itinerary for the training schedule so she settled herself on the bed and began drawing up a loose schedule.Once she was done she grabbed her phone and called her. The sooner it was arranged, the better, in her opinion, as it seemed that things were going to get incredibly busy if delegates were arriving already.
Bartholomew sat back in his chair and steepled his fingers in front of him as his eyes took on a far-away look.He had known Greyson since he was a young boy, and seeing him develop into the man he was today filled him with pride.To think that he was going to be thrown into the midst of the Royal Family and the tribulations that they were facing made his heart hurt a little, but there was no man more capable and more loyal than Greyson was, in his opinion."Commander Greyson is a good man, my Queen. You have nothing to worry about from him." Bartholomew answered finally with a smile."I understand; however, I don't have the luxury of knowing him as you do, Bartholomew, so if you would care to elaborate, I would be very grateful. I have known Lexi since we were children and if anything, it will put my heart at ease to know that whoever she chooses, she will be taken care of well."'I'm telling you, Olympia, she won't choose between them. My bet is on her taking both of them.''You don
Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took them gratefully."Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for guests." He explained carefully.'Oh she'll hate that..' Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Olympia frowned."Already? But she hasn't been here that long…" Olympia said, a little awestruck at how easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations."I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in these situations?" Xavier asked incredulously as he stared at Olympia slightly open-mouthed."I think you are both getting the wrong idea here." Bartholomew interrupted quickly as they both refocused their attention on him. "It appears that both males involved seem to be under the impression that they have some sort of claim on her."Xavier snorted."Good luck with that. I can't see Lexi allowing any
After the exertions of the morning, both Olympia and Xavier had napped briefly before making their way to the dining hall and grabbing some lunch, before heading down to Bartholomew's office for a meeting that had been scheduled, only to find Lexi already there.Olympia marveled at the way that Lexi had seemingly grown fond of this particular Elder and was happy to let her guard down around him. The fact that she was reclined so comfortably in an unfamiliar place and clutching a drink in her hand so casually made Olympia incredibly happy.There were very few places where Lexi was truly accepted for who she was, and after initially being concerned that she would encounter a lot of difficulties here as well, she was pleased to have been proven wrong."Oh, wonderful! I'm pleased you came! I've been boring Lexi with tales of my past exploits for longer than she has cared to imagine I'm sure!" Bartholomew chuckled as he stood to greet them."He's a filthy liar!"Lexi interjected casually wi
Lexi was stunned.She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from immersing herself completely in the moment.The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed.Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now?Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn't seem to give a shit about where she came from or how she acted.As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed away from Allen, glaring at him in disbelief.
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before.She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely."What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her."I..uh.." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation."Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull her up from h
Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed.She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity.It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Olympia of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly."Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern."Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed."You're frowning. I did
Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground."Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement, but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across the ex
