Alec POV "Let him do his thing!" Wrath laughed in amazement, watching the events unfold; Hugo was on his feet. Finn had lunged toward him in a bid to shield Lara from whatever proverbial shit was about to hit the fan. "Hugo!" I conveyed firmly, stepping in my brother's path. My eyes narrowed on his yellow glowing eyes. "Fury!" I snapped, my brother's face snapping towards me in acknowledgement, but the defiance in his eyes was unmistakable. "She is just exhausted! Doc said she needs rest!" "I warned you what would happen if you didn't control that mad dog, Alec!" Maxwell laughed from the other side of them. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and opened them to see the yellow of Hugo's eyes glowering as he looked over my shoulder to where Maxwell sat smugly at the back of the room, staring at us, his legs crossed as he leaned back in the chair, casual as shit! Not at all bothered by the lunatic Finn was holding back. "Let him go! It might teach the bastard a lesson!" "Whic
Hugo POV Closing the doors, I swallowed my pride with a sigh. Every part of me wanted to be on the other side of that door with Aurora. I believed my brother that she was telling the truth, of course, but seeing her look so vulnerable made me feel powerless—something I wasn't used to feeling. Maxwell wasn't exactly wrong calling me a mad dog; it wasn't the insult he thought it was, but rather a compliment coming from him! Hugo Mad Dog, it suited me! I knew there were those within my pack who had similar names for me. I was unpredictable, hot-headed and more than a little impulsive. However, that was before Aurora arrived, and I had no one I needed to behave for, impress and perhaps prove my worth too! As much as I acknowledged how just being close to Aurora pushed me to be a better person, I was acutely aware that when it came to protecting her, there were absolutely no lengths I wouldn't go to. "You pouting their bud?" Jason asked playfully, pulling me from visions of myself bat
Alec POVWith Aurora in my arms, I checked the bathroom and felt satisfied that the room was safe; I laid her on the bed and watched her stretch out on the plush mattress like a lazy cat before curling up into a ball. "Sleep, angel!" I requested softly, kissing her head. I pulled the sheet up around her. Her body curled in on itself with exhaustion. "Alec?" She whispered, drawing the covers up under her chin for comfort. The outline of her body through the covers made me smile; she was so small and dainty. Precious!"I am here, kitten; I am just going to shower," I explained, stroking her hair intimately like I used to years ago when she lay asleep in my arms after hours of lovemaking. I smiled genuinely, admiring her natural beauty as her eyes floated closed and she fought sleep. "I'm so cold." She mumbled sleepily, "Shower later, come keep me warm." She requested in that needy voice I could never deny. "Kitten, I am covered in blood.. give me..""I will break your nose and cove
Aurora POVI looked into Alec's anguished eyes as he waited for me to reply. His words were desperate but nonetheless filled with raw emotions that were pulling at my heartstrings. I know he needed me to agree, to make a promise not to leave.. the pack.. him? I refused to make a promise to him I couldn't keep! I wasn't sure how I felt about anything right now, including myself or where I belonged. I did know that I didn't want to hurt him again, and at this moment... I knew I belonged with Alec in this bed! Enjoying the comfort of his arms. "And body!" Ava purred at the closeness. She was right; I did want his body, but I was spent. I felt like I had just done five back-to-back sessions at the gym. Did I have it in me to jump his bones?No, all I wanted was to get undressed and hit the hay, but here Alec was, launching into a deep heart-to-heart! I shoved him back into the bed with a wink. Deciding sex seemed better than the seriousness of this conversation. "You know what Alec, I
Aurora POV I wanted desperately to torment his cock further, but not at the expense of my own urgent needs. Digging my nails into his chest, I leaned forward and planted a kiss on his plump, soft lips, slowly at first, wanting to make him work for it as I circled my hips on him mercilessly. Coaxing his lips to part with my needy tongue, I groaned, tasting him as our tongues danced lusciously. Deeping our kiss until I felt dizzy with craving, I reluctantly pulled away with a hungry moan. "Don't overthink this, Alec!" I whispered as I licked up to his ear before slowly standing on the bed, my feet firmly planted on either side of him. I smirked down at his lustful face as I peeled my leggings off and threw them away, leaving me in nothing but a black lace thong. "Yes, Mistress!" He winked, earning a chuckle from lips! I liked that! I liked it a lot! Tilting my head to watch him, I tried to hide the delight from my eyes, noticing his eyes flashing between the azure blue of Alec and th
Alec POV "Have you lost your damn mind, Alec?" Aurora asked, her voice almost as shaky as her body as she flopped down beside me on the bed. Her body glistened with a beautiful layer of post-sex sweat. Her cheeks flushed scarlet, and her hair a tangled mess from where Wrath had manhandled it. She was divine! Good enough to eat! And as tempting as that thought was, she needed rest! Not round two! "Why?" I chuckled, snaking my arms around her and pulling her closer to me. The heat of her body warm against mine. "You know why!" She grumbled, all pouty and cute. "No... I don't!" I stated calmly; she was trying to avoid having to say the words out loud. I knew that! Because then it made the gamble I had just taken with her so much more real, something I knew scared the shit out of her! And usually was the point she bolted! But not this time, this time, we would address it and put her fears to bed before she had a chance to overthink and fucking bolt! "You're being an ass!" She mum
Hugo POVI rolled my lips to keep any sound from escaping as I slowly scanned the room, hoping for any hint I was misinterpreting what I was seeing. Maybe Aurora had a temperature, which is why she was stripped naked, barely covered by a thin sheet. Maybe Alec had changed out of his clothes because of Maxwell's blood from his outburst earlier, which is why he was showering. All possible... But the scent of sex that filled the room, that I couldn't explain away! Nodding slowly at the sight before me, I realised there was NO way to sell this; it was what it was. Aurora and Alec had fucked! Licking my dry lips, I tried to soothe the beast raging inside my head. I felt it creeping up my spine, crushing any good mood or hope that I had built up. Aurora was not my mate, no more than she was Alec's! She was free to choose who she wanted, and I was a fool to think she would pick me! She never had before! "She does want us!" Fury whined incisively in my head, making me sneer."Clearly!" I
Hugo POV Pushing the heavy doors to the infirmary open, I nodded to Doc, who was heading into his office. Poking my head in after him, I smiled at a rather nervous-looking Frank. "Hey doc, any change with Lara?" I asked softly, wanting to know what I was dealing with when I walked over to Finn. "No, Beta!" He sighed sadly, pointing to the screen that sat above his desk displaying her readings so he could monitor her from his office. "Her stats are still the same." Nodding to him, I clapped him on the shoulder, feeling his body tense under mine. "No news is good news, Doc! She's in good hands." I added, coming to watch her obs for a moment, my eyes flickering between hers and the other screen that was for the bed Marcus lay in unconscious. A part of me was tempted to deal with him while I had the opportunity and wipe him from the board of players, but Fury was excited for round two with the fucker. "How long till he can travel?" I asked Frank, who pursed his lips and let out a b
