CHAPTER 35: GLIMPSE OF A BAD BOY~ Harper’s POV ~Gabriel grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs and out of the front packhouse doors. I looked up at him, as he looked back and smiled. Even his smile has an effect on me. I looked past him to see a motorcycle parked with two helmets on the seat. It was one of those fast ones that reminded me of rockets. It was shiny and black, it suited Gabe perfectly. A wide smile spread across his face as he walked over to the bike and picked up a helmet. “Oh, my goodness, we are riding that! I have never ridden a motorcycle before. I am so excited!” Gabe walked over to me and placed a helmet over my head and fastened it in place. I watched as he put on his own helmet and climbed on. The look of him on that bike got me so excited. He was so sexy! Before he helped me on, he stopped to explain something to me. “Harper, I don’t want you to be afraid as we are exiting the pack territory briefly. I have to take the main road that circles back i
CHAPTER 36: CALLING HIS BLUFF~ Harper’s POV ~We were standing in what looked to be a low spot on the mountain side. Trees and beautiful vegetation surrounded us. The thick canopy of trees above us caused the time of day to feel like it was around dusk. This helped intensify the plants around us. They were beautiful, like colorful flower lanterns. Illuminated colors of dark pinks, purples, yellows, and blues. Little fairies were flying all around, making it look like glitter was floating in the air. They hummed a pleasant song that gave a calming effect. There was lush green grass growing here despite the cover of the trees. They surrounded the most breathtaking aspect of it all. A stunning waterfall poured over some large boulders and landed in a beautiful blue pool of water. The water was also illuminated blue. Boulders also circled the pool with little flowers tucked in between them here and there. You could tell the pool was deep, and the water looked so refreshing. It is the mos
CHAPTER 37: A LITTLE TASTE~ Gabriel’s POV~Fuck me... I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I was frozen in my spot. I knew she was a temptress, but I didn’t think she would go this far. The moment she started shimmying out of her shorts, Mika almost gained control. He was begging me to let him out. “Take her, let's mark her right now! I need her! She is ours! Let's mate her and claim her entirely.” Mika growled out to me. I love Mika, and we have never been on different sides before. I am just trying to do what is right and wait for tomorrow before we cross the line. I watched as she lifted her shirt over her head. Mumm... Her sexy lingerie is erotic. Black lace panties and a bra to match. My rock-hard cock was throbbing in my swim trunks. She turned around and locked eyes with me, with a sexy little grin on her lips. She started walking toward me. Every slow step she took felt like hot liquid fire. She had me burning for her. Her curves are perfect. She has an hourglass figure, a pl
CHAPTER 38: DON’T KILL HIM~ Gabriel’s POV ~I stood and adjusted my cock in my shorts. Harper was still laying in the sand propped up on her elbows. Her eyes landed on my bulge and grew bigger as she took in the outline of my dick. I smirked at her. “You're not afraid of it are you?” I said, capturing my bottom lip between my teeth. Her face turned to nervous shock, when she noticed I caught her looking at my bulging member. She has felt it through my pants before, but this is the closest she has come to a visual. She replied to my question with a breathy tone. “I...I...um.” I reached down and pulled her up to me. I took her hand and pressed it to the outside of my shorts, letting her feel what I wanted to put in her. She once again took in a sharp breath, surprised by my actions. My chest rumbled with pleasure from the feel of her hands on my cock. I lowered my head to her marking spot as I spoke. “If you and I are truly fated mates, I will waste no time marking you and making all
CHAPTER 39: THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN~ Harper's POV~I was violently shaking as Thane picked me up and tossed me into the back seat of his car. He climbed in after I was able to sit down properly. I could still hear Gabriel howling and thrashing. He was still fighting to get to me. I was sobbing uncontrollably. My heart has been ripped out of my chest. I agreed to be compliant in order to protect Gabriel. The truth is, I don’t trust Thane not to kill Gabriel anyway after he gets what he wants. This is all my fault. If I had never pursued becoming a member of the Harmony Moon pack, none of this would have happened to him. It seemed like a short ride, but we had been driving for a while. There is a lot of property between pack borders. I am assuming that I am on my way to the packhouse of the Foul Moon. I couldn’t see out of the windows because the tint on the windows was too dark. I didn’t know we were near the packhouse until the car slid to a stop. The tires sliding on the gravel caused
CHAPTER 40: LEARNING MORE ABOUT HARPER~ Gabriel’s POV~ I slammed and bashed against the bars coated in wolfsbane. Every time I made contact with them my skin sizzled like I was burning. I ignored the pain. Nothing could hurt as bad as the pain of losing Harper. It felt like my soul was being torn apart the moment that piece of shit picked her up and threw her into the backseat of that car. I don’t know where Harper is right now, and it scares me to death. What has he done to her already? What is he doing to her now! I guess I am in some kind of dungeon. Fuck this place! I am going to burn it all to the ground along with every last evil soul in it! But not Thane, that son of a bitch is going to suffer. Mika and I both grin running our tongue over our teeth anticipating the moment we get to taste his blood. I bent and broke the frame of the makeshift bed that was bolted to the floor. I used a piece of the metal to bang on the cell bars while yelling. I need to get someone's attention.
CHAPTER 41: MY GIRL~ Gabriel’s POV ~A figure walked in front of the cell doors followed by three more. I growled at them. I noticed one was holding chains! Fuck no! I ran across the cell too quick for them to know what was happening. Reaching through the bars. I grabbed one guy by his neck and pulled him forward toward me. His head had no other option but to collide with my cell bars. I smiled as his skull busted open spraying blood all over his pitiful friends. I moved to another guy. He couldn’t keep up with my movements quick enough to respond to what I was doing. I shoved my fingers in his mouth quickly jerking his bottom jaw causing his mouth to open wide. Using my other hand, I used the piece of metal I broke off the bed frame and shoved it down his neck. He didn’t die right away. He flailed around, gargled a little. The other two guys had stepped back away from the bars realizing their friend's mistake. They looked scared shitless. That’s what I want. They better know that I
CHAPTER 42: THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT~ Harper’s POV ~Thane pushes me down on the floor and climbed on top of me. Oh no! Is he going to force me now? I felt the weight of him on me. He leaned down to my face and licked my tears away. When he was done, he pulled back and licked his lips. “Mumm… There’s something about despair that gets me so hot.” He said to me while moving his hips to press his hardened member against my stomach. I squeezed my eyes shut. If I didn’t have Gabriel to worry about leaving here, I would beg the moon goddess for death. My body stiffened, as I reflexively tried to recoil from him. I had to force my body to stay still. “Maybe I’ll just have a taste of you right now.” He moaned, as he slid his body up and down mine. My tears wouldn’t stop flowing. “I want to taste your juices.” He whispered to me lowly. He ran one hand up under my shirt and over my abdomen. I squeezed my eyes shut and clinched my teeth as his hand passed over my breasts. Then he started to
CHAPTER 76: BABY LYCAN ~ Selene (Moon Goddess) ~ “Well Selene, it looks like you found a way to interfere without actually being there, didn’t you?” “I told you, don’t tell me I can’t help my children. Did you want to be bothered with Hades? Neither did I.” I said back to him. “You're lucky we grew close to the girl from birth. I wouldn’t let this pass for just anyone. Their powers would have come eventually without your interference.” He said back to me. “Yeah, then we would have all been down there fighting to send Hades back to hell! All you want to do is sit on that throne and watch everything like it’s a soap opera. Loosen up, will you! We are going to see the first baby Lycan being born, and I can’t WAIT!” He rubbed his face like he was exhausted because of me, but I saw his grin. He didn’t want to admit it, but he would have interfered if I hadn't. ~ Harper’s POV ~ We finally made it back to the packhouse. The battle lasted overnight, and the sun wa
CHAPTER 75: LET THIS BE AN EXAMPLE~Tanner’s POV~Holy shit balls! Gabriel is glowing bright white! I looked over to Kai and he was just as shocked as I was. I watched as a ball of lightning and wind moved around him rapidly. Even his eyes were bright white. He began to pound on the barrier again. I’m sure Thane is about to get his ass handed to him. I watched Gabe. “I *POUND* SAID *POUND* DON’T *POUND* TOUCH HER! * BOOM! *” The barrier dissolved around Thane and his warlock. “HELL, YEAH GABE!” Dragons roared overhead and allies all around us erupted in cheers. Thane’s eyes were that of shock, disbelief, and anger. He shifted back into his beast and met Gabe before he could make it to Harper. “SET HADES FREE!” Thane shouted to his warlock. “But sir. The mark?” “DO IT NOW!” Thane growled out to the warlock. He took his attention off Harper and started moving his hands in ways that only magical beings do. This time it was black smoke that started rising up fr
CHAPTER 74: GABRIEL GET UP~ Harper’s POV ~I couldn’t get to Gabriel because I was helping all the warriors that were overtaken by Thane’s army. We were caught off guard. Somehow Thane caught our informant. I ran through flaming bodies trying to tackle and kill every enemy in my sight. I moved to rip the neck out of a wolf that had one of our warriors pinned down. I helped up my warrior and moved to the next. I kept glancing toward Gabriel. He was holding his own and giving Thane hell. I was caught off guard by an unshifted enemy warrior coming at me with a dagger. I was able to shift out of the way of his blade, but barely. I jumped back putting some distance between myself and the man with the dagger. I heard a loud growl, I blinked, and Thane landed in front of me grabbing the warrior up by the throat. “WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT NOT HURTING HER! YOU INCOMPATENT AND WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!” Thane’s movements were fast. He stood the warrior up and sliced his head off in one swift m
CHAPTER 73: THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING~ Selene (The Moon Goddess) ~ “DON’T TELL ME THAT I CAN’T BE INVOLVED WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE GOING UP AGAINST HADES!” I yelled out. These deities think we should never get involved. Usually I feel the same way, but my children can’t fight Hades! “It’s not a good idea Selene. We don’t want to disrupt the balance.” I screamed to the top of my lungs. “AHHH… What balance? If Hades is released, and his purpose is to take over, then what balance will there be left?” I asked. “Selene, you will not get involved! THAT IS FINAL!” I am thoroughly pissed right now. “Sometimes, I feel like there’s no use in even being a deity if I can’t help my children when they need it most.” When it comes to our creations, we know the direction of their lives are supposed to go. When deities get involved, outcomes get shuffled, and destinies get changed. I hope Harper and Gabriel can handle things down there. Hmmm... If I can't be there in person, ma
CHAPTER 72: SATISFY MY BEAST~ Harper’s POV ~I didn’t take my time with my morning routine. I walked back out into Gabriel’s bedroom and noticed he was gone. Good, I’ll be able to pick out a cute lingerie set. Hmmm… what color? Oh, these are cute. It was a pretty red lace bra and pantie set. I really love this one. I quickly put them on and got dressed in a pair of shorts and one of my tee shirts. I tied a knot in the bottom of my tee-shirt, which made it tighter and pulled up just a little to show some of my midriff. I blow dried my hair and applied a small amount of makeup. I guess I am trying a little harder today. I want to look good for Gabriel. I ruined my look yesterday with all my tears. After finishing my makeup. I looked in the mirror, this will do. I walk back into Gabriel’s room and walk to his window to look out. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. I heard Gabriel’s door open and turned to see a steaming hot man fresh from the training field standing before m
CHAPTER 71: BETA OR NOT, I’LL KILL YOU~Harper’s POV~I was in the dining hall when I heard the loud hum from Gabriel’s truck driving up and entering the garage. My heart rate accelerated, and Mia was purring in my head. I thought I was ready to talk to Gabriel, but I just realized that I’m not. I started sweating, and I felt like running to my room to avoid him. He is okay, that is all I wanted to know. I turned to walk up the stairs when I heard the front packhouse door open. I froze in place, not turning to look behind me. His scent of cedar and pine was begging me to run to him, but I refused. I am not going to throw myself at a man who has been kissing another WOMAN! My anger returned and felt new at that moment. I heard Kai talking with pack members who were welcoming him home. Tanner must have entered the dining hall to welcome them home. “Kai, it’s good to see you, man. Looks like you didn’t die.” I heard Tanner say to Kai. “Yeah, well… I can say I almost did a few t
CHAPTER 70: IRIS~Gabriel’s POV~ “I can’t believe we flew on a fucking dragon!” Kai said to me. Any other time, I would be elated, but right now, my mind was focused on something else. Kai and I walked back through the swamp on our way to the witch’s hut. I have the dagger in my back pocket. She said I needed to bring it back to her once I have it. I turn to Kai. “You kill me if I attempt to sleep with her.” I say through gritted teeth. “I’ll smack you around a few times, don’t worry.” Kai said to me. He was eager to get in a few hits without my Lycan knocking him the fuck out. Both he and Tanner always liked to get free licks on me. This one I would happily give Kai. I need my ass kicked for what I put Harper through. I called and left a message a few minutes ago. I had to stop at a payphone, I know old school, right? We had to land outside of the town and walk the rest of the way. I couldn’t fly into town on a dragon’s back and expect the human military not to be aft
CHAPTER 69: WHAT WAS THAT STUFF~Tanner’s POV~I hear the sound of something boiling in a pot, and I smell something like lavender? I open my eyes, where am I? “OH shit! HARPER!” I pitched my body upright, banging my head on… the ceiling? What the hell? “TANNER! You're okay!” I didn’t even see Harper coming before she threw her arms around my neck. “Tanner, I have been so worried about you. I was afraid you were never going to wake up!” She began to cry. Suddenly, a strange humanoid creature starts smacking her hands away from me. “Okay, Okay, OKAY! I’m going! You know I have been waiting days for him to wake up!” Harper said to the creature. It came up to feel my head and hand me something to drink. “Drink, for pain.” It said to me. I looked at Harper to make sure it was ok. She nodded her head. I drank the liquid down and frowned at the taste of it. It was quite salty, yuk! “Where are we?” I whispered to Harper. She giggled at me. She didn’t bother whispering.
CHAPTER 68: SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT~ Gabriel’s POV ~Kai and I walked through the field toward the mountain. This place is beautiful, I would love to bring Harper here one day. Man, I miss her, I just hope I get the chance to tell her how sorry I am about what happened with that damned witch. We passed some strange creatures; some we had only heard about. Kai wasn’t about to mess with any of them after what happened with the Baldander. I am hoping we can get to the dragons and get the weapon before nightfall. I can’t wait to be back on my way home. Truth is, I don’t know how easy it will be to get the weapon. These dragons may not be willing to just hand it over. I will kill every last one of them if I have to. Nothing will keep me from protecting Harper.Kai and I finally make it to the base of the mountain where the cave entrance is. There are two large men standing guard. Something tells me that they are not just men. Their eyes are glowing red. They are definitely similar to Thane’s
