~Zahara~ Silence fills the room and I’m in awe. Everyone is suffering under the weight of my mate’s aura. Everyone except myself and my parents. Being Cory’s mate means that I don’t fall to his aura; he doesn’t have that type of power over him and it’s the same for me. My parents are still the current Luna and Alpha so they have more power than myself and Cory right now. Neither of my parents has said anything about what is going on. I would have expected them to stop this or reel Cory in, but they are just watching everything unfold. My mom is shaking her head, but she has a slight grin on her face. My dad actually looks proud. He is sitting in the chair tall and proud. My eyes find Frankie and I watch him. He looks to be dying under the weight of Cory’s aura. His arm is in a sling and he is sweating profusely. I reach out and gently touch Cory. He doesn’t look at me, but I can feel his aura receding. Cory takes a step away from the table to fully face
~Zahara~ I could feel Cory’s uneasiness all night long. I tried to calm him, but nothing I said or did worked. His nervousness is not unwarranted, but it is a lot to deal with. I was never going to be able to keep him hidden forever and I think he may have forgotten that. I know he is worried about his old pack finding out he isn’t dead. The real issue is that he can’t remember who did this to him so he is worried that they will try again when they realize he survived. I sympathize with him, but this is where we are. I’ve been up since early this morning. Cory finally dozed off and I took the opportunity to go train. It was an intensive training and I’m glad I decided to do it. I needed the workout just to get some stuff out. It has been a crazy few days and I needed to let some things out. Walking out of the training area, I run into Lennox. “You did well today Len. You really got me moving.” Lennox chuckles and falls into step with me. “How
~Zahara~ This is it! This is happening right now! Cory’s lips on mine have to be what heaven on Earth would feel like. The sparks are amazing and Cory is touching every inch of my mouth with his tongue. Every so often our tongues wrestle, but I don’t let it last too long. Cory is so hard and that is making me so wet. I just got out of the shower and at this rate, I will need to take another shower before I can go downstairs. I run my hand up and down Cory's erection through his pants, wishing I could have skin-to-skin contact. I don’t want to push Cory so I let this play out. Cory has a hand running up and down my thigh and it feels amazing. His hand starts to go up my through higher, finding its way to my hip. Cory snakes his hand around and grabs my ass with a squeeze. I moan into Cory’s mouth and he pulls back. I look at him curiously. I wonder if he isn't ready for all of this. I wonder if I pushed him too far. I want Cory to be comfortable and I wa
~Zahara~ It’s taking everything in me to try to calm Aria and not give in to her anger. If I were to do that, let her take over, we would end up at Wild Tails pack and slaughter everyone. I wouldn’t just stop at those who have directly wronged Cory. I saw how he was treated at school, so most likely, the entire pack was hateful to him. I doubt I would leave anyone breathing. Cory is doing his best to try to calm me, and I know Sylas is trying to soothe Aria. I just don’t understand how people can treat someone as they did Cory. Not just someone but the former Alpha’s son and a child on top of that. Cory has been treated this way for as long as he can remember. Since when is it okay to be abusive and hateful toward a child? Everyone returns to the office after a while, but I can’t focus on the rest of the meeting. My mind is so clouded in sorrow and anger that I can’t grasp what’s going on around me. We need to end this pack’s hatefulness. We need to find
The night gets darker, and I can’t fight the urge any longer. I sneak out of the house, ensuring no one can see me leave. I shift into Nero and let him take over. I have to see her; I have to be with my mate. I hate how tied I am to her; how much I crave her. I haven’t marked Nona, but I feel as if I can’t breathe if I don’t see her. If things are this strong now, what hell would a mark throw me into? The air flowing through our fur feels amazing. I can sense everything around me, and it’s clear that the forest never sleeps. Something is always awake and aware. We zig-zag here and there to ensure no one is following us to the cabin. I can’t afford anyone to know where I’m going or what’s there. Not only does the pack think Nona has gone away for school, but the elders being here makes things even more dangerous. They would never accept what I’m doing to my mate. I can see the cabin from the woods. We stop, and Nero gives me control. I shift into my human body and
~Zahara~ I wake out of refreshing sleep. I stretch out and feel next to me, my hands only coming in contact with the cold sheets. I sit up and look around the room, but I don’t see Cory anywhere. I know he’s okay, but it isn’t like him just to disappear. If there were anything wrong with him, I would be able to sense it. I get out of bed and head to the shower. I take a quick one and head to the closet for clothes. I really should be down training, but I’m anxious to find Cory. I put on workout pants and a sports bra anyway, just in case I make it out to training. Maybe Cory and I can train together. It would be interesting to see what he has learned and how strong he is with his wolf. I know Sylas hasn’t appeared yet, but Aria and I have felt his presence already. Besides, after our day yesterday, I need to ensure that he is doing well. Hey Len, Have you seen Cory anywhere?........ Len? That’s odd that Lennox didn’t answer. He is usually up early and always an
Zahara's hands travel from my shoulder, down my back, and up the leg of my shorts. Her hands travel to my ass, squeezing it, running her thumbs back and forth. The sparks from her hands are too much to bear. I can’t stay on my stomach any longer. I stand up, and that causes Zahara’s hands to drop from my ass. I grab her hand and lead her to a bench in the room. I sit her down and sit down next to her, so I’m facing her. Zahara reaches out and caresses my cheek. Her thumb traces my jawline, and it makes me shudder. I swear her hands on me put my body into overdrive. Her hand trails down my throat, lighting a fire as they go. Zahara’s other hand goes back to my face, and her fingers lightly trace my lips. I close my eyes, trying not to let loose right here, right now. I swear I could cum and be happy, but that would be too embarrassing. I want to touch her so badly, but I’m scared that she will disappear. I don’t want to ruin it this even though I’m yearning to take her in my
~Cory~ I can’t believe it. I just….I just lost my virginity. I just had sex with Zahara, and it was amazing, though I’m not sure Zahara would agree. I’m not well versed in how these things go, but I think I was way too fast with it. Zahara and I are breathing heavily, and I’m on top of her. She is stroking my back, and I can hear her heart beating fast. I lift my body up and sit on the bench, pulling Zahara into a sitting position with me. I caress Zahara’s cheek, and she looks content. “We should probably get out of here before someone comes in.” I nod in agreement, and we put our clothes back on. We head out of the gym, hand in hand, and head to the packhouse. I let Zahara lead me into her room, and I stand awkwardly in the middle. I really don’t know what to say or do at this point. Zahara starts to move around the room, opening drawers and pulling out items. “I’m going to take a shower.” I say nothing and watch Zahara head to the restroom. I hear the
