Stevee’s POV“See, what you need is two beautiful young women sweetening your cheeks before the cards are dealt,” Judge laughs as Bridget and I help him rake in another pot. “Especially, the blonde, so beautiful.”Bridget giggles at the compliment.“It’s nice to be appreciated by such a handsome man,” Bridget coos.“Surprised your dads let you around all these dangerous men,” Ace Fritz, my ex’s cousin, gives me a smirk.“Oh, bless your heart,” I say with a giggle. “You think my dads get a say in what I do.”Judge lets out a laugh. “This one was sitting on my knee, picking cards to trade before she knew her numbers.”“I remember her, the card shark,” Thomas Keep is a button man and another regular. I walk over and hug his neck.If shit ever goes down that involves me, you watch how fast Chicago’s underground joins together to defend me. I’ve always said, I’m not the princess you mess with.“Jealous she only charms me?” Judge laughs as I scurry back to his side.“She looks good in that
Stevee's POV“It’s going to be your mother,” Dad Nate tells me. “Blame Dad Matt.”“Consider it my final act of co-parenting,” Dad Matt says, rolling his eyes.“Hello, mother,” I say.“Hello, my dear, you are in town, stop by here with your friends. I want to meet them,” She sounds sober, she is doing well this time. I check my watch, its’s 10pm; so, her being sober is a good thing. Maybe she is for real now?“Okay mom, we were heading out, we will stop by,” I say.“Oh wonderful,” She hangs up.“Did she sound okay?” Dad Nate asks, eyebrows raised and jaw tight.“Yeah, for her, she sounded great,” I tell them.“Be careful, baby,” Dad Nate kisses my head and goes back inside.Bridget and I head to my car and Mark and Ty follow us.“So you were hot for teacher?” I ask her as we drive away.“I was hot for that teacher, give me a girl who wouldn’t be,” Bridget plays with her phone. “Now you are hot for Judge?” I ask.“He looks like he could be fun for while. I mean, he’s just for now. What
Wesley’s POV“Come on, you don’t want to go back now?” Mark asks me as we stand in my dad’s office.“I’m home, I thought Bazin had become home, but Marcella spent a lot time and effort into making Westmoreland a good place for me,” I tell everyone.“Son, of course I think you should be here. You are the future Alpha, and you should be building relationships with your pack. Just not sexual ones,” Dad tells me.“I’ll stick to humans,” I tell him. “I’m not Atlas, I have no plans to treat my pack as a harem.”“It will save you from awkward lunches,” Ty jokes, bumping Mark’s shoulder with his tongue in his cheek.“What are you going to tell Victor?” Mark asks.“That I’m training to take over here and I don’t want to be under Marcella’s thumb all the time,” I sit in the chair closest to door.“You make your sister cry and Snookums is going to kick your ass,” Mark shakes his head, talking to me.“Snookums can try all day,” I mumble under my breath.Victor hasn’t called me, gamed, or acknowle
Victor’s POV“Beta,” the flight attendant smiles at me as she hands me a drink.“Not yet, very soon,” I smile back.“No mate?” She pokes out her lip and I notice she is more unbutton than normal.“Not yet,” I answer, looking directly at her chest. She wants it in my face, I’ll look. “Such a cute Beta, interested in a little inflight entertainment?” She leans closer and straddles my lap. She has her breast pressed against my face.I stick my tongue out and lick between them. “You want to go for ride?” I ask, running my hands up her thighs. Her stocking stop at her upper thigh and she isn’t wearing underwear. She is ready for a ride. “I don’t kiss lips, not for a quick ride.”“I just want to feel the Beta inside me,” She unzips my pants.“Let me get a condom on,” I push her back slightly.“It’s okay,” she starts stroking me. Why do all these she-wolves want it bareback? Oh, because thanks to my Dad, and his choices they think I will make the same ones.“I don’t do bareback,” I tell h
Wesley’s POVAll the buildup to the moment when I will meet my mate. My heart is still crushed by Lacy and now this. I get it, I slept around. I wasn’t kind to the human hearts, I broke everyone. But this is torture, why her of all she-wolves? Happy freaking birthday, Wes, Bridget is your mate.Bridget retreats away from me, tears on her face.Aries- You hurt mate. Fix it.Me- Do you know who this is?Aries- Our mate, you asshole. Fix it.Me- I don’t want to fix it.Aries -Then find a replacement Alpha. I’m leaving your ass.“I, Wesley Nightingale,” I start, when my sister punches me in the face.“Oh, no, you don’t,” Marcella tells me. “No, sir. You accept your mate.”“My mate is fucking Bridget; you want Bridget as a sister-in-law?” I ask, holding my jaw.Marcella inhales and exhales several times.“You will respect the moon goddess,” Marcella demands.“She is clearly deranged,” I say. “Bridget, you want me?”Mark is holding her to his chest. I should be doing that. Wait no, no I sho
Stevee’s POV“This is not going to work,” Trent laughs.“Hey,” I yell, getting everyone’s attention. “Bridget deserves happiness and if you all believe in this goddess and her wisdom, then you should trust she knows what she is going. I have heard 'OH FUCK NO', from Victor, from Wesley, now from Ki and I am sick of it. The answer is if they want to try and make it work, then we should be supportive. I maybe a human, but I will personally take on anyone who thinks differently.”Everyone blinks looking at me.“That was hot,” Victor sighs.“I mean, anyone of us could kick your ass, but the fact that you are willing to defend your friend like that is really awesome. Bridget, Wesley I apologize,” Ki smiles at them.“I get it,” Wesley says. “I mean, we kissed, but we haven’t formally accepted this.”Bridget looks up at him. “Should we talk about it?”Wesley takes another bite of his apple. I notice he turns his head, so he isn’t eating in Bridget’s ear.“Later, my sister has a cake in the f
Bridget’s POVI see Stevee hanging in the back, wearing her poker face.“Hey, you good?” I ask, walking over to her.“Steven just found out Teresa has been keeping us from communicating,” She is expressionless. “You wanted her gone,” I say, rubbing her back. “Yeah, but at this moment, I need my brother,” she shakes her head.“What did my idiot brother do?” I ask, looking over at Victor. The vein coming out of Evander’s neck tells me all I need to know about that conversation. “He said some less than kind things and threatened me,” Stevee looks me in the eye. “I don’t like the idea of not having a choice in my own future.”“I’ll kick his ass,” I offer.“I told Luna about it. I suspect she will take care of it,” Stevee stays expressionless. “What are you going to do?"“Hey, I was wrong,” Victor tells her. “We will figure out something that works. Evander is ready to send me to the cells if you ask.”“Luna tell on you?” Stevee asks, finally making a face.“Yeah,” Victor looks like a
Victor’s POV“Hey,” I run after Ki and Stevee before they closed themselves in with the other wolf-less, children and pregnant wolves.“Yes?” Stevee has an amazing poker face. Mark told me about her family, she really is good.“Hey, I could die, you want this tension between us if I die? You could live with that?” I smile at her hoping to get her to smile. I’m met with one raised eyebrow and lips pressed into a thin. “Come on. I have to go to this meeting; can we make up please?”“Are you going to let me go to school?” She asks, with the same expression as before.“It’s not a matter of letting you. Once you are marked you will start to feel the pull. You will want to be with me always. You won’t be able to be away from me for a long period of time and not feel sick, weak, and depressed. I’ll be worse because my wolf, Drake, will be really upset. So, maybe you and me, accept each other before the battle?”I wish I could read her face, but I can’t.“You mean have sex before you die?”“
