MARCIA. I just got off the phone with my parents. They were still outside the territory but heading home and wanted to check how I was. I told them Harlene was here. Mom also told me that she called Gamma Austin and informed him they got caught in bad traffic in the city because of some accident, so the Gamma would send two mated males here. I thought they were overreacting. What could go wrong? I could stay here and lock the door, and no one would smell me. Or I could go to Randall and ask for a rejection. That way, my heat would not push through. I already knew this was where our fate was heading, so why delay it when it could help me with this heat? But the thought of Randall made my pussy throb. I excused myself from Harlene, who was comfortably lying on her stomach in my bed watching some assassin movies, and headed off for a shower. I might need to touch myself again, as I have been doing a lot lately since I smelled him. But no matter how much I tried playing and touc
RANDALL. “Linus…” Marcia’s sweet but trembling voice came. Linus and I stopped fighting for the key as our attention turned to her. “Hi, Linus…” She smiled at him, her lashes fluttering, and Linus growled. So did I. I was fucking jealous. Marcia was looking at us as she shifted on her feet, making her look more innocent and alluring. My cock was hard as fuck, and I was sure I wasn’t the only one sporting a hard dick. Then she smiled at Linus, and he tried to break free from my hold, but I pulled him again, slamming his body once more against the bar. The more I held him, the more energy kept surging out of me, and the next thing I knew, I had already twisted his arm as more jealousy brewed in my chest, but the fucker just grunted and kept reaching for my female. I kept slamming Linus to the bar until I realized Marcia’s eyes were shifting between me and Linus’ pants. She was telling me something. Only then did my senses come back to me. I grabbed the keys and pulled them h
LEXI. I clung to Atlas tighter as we sprang forward toward the security building. I was hesitant to have Austin go there, as the Alpha and Beta were also going there. They were mated and marked, but Austin was still unmarked, and he could get affected by Marcia’s scent. But he assured me he knew what to do. Austin said this was not the first time he would smell a female in heat, and even if he was a fuckboy before, he was able to control himself. He said he only needed one person to snap him back to his senses, and it would be easy to fight it off. And me being there would help him a lot. Although I was frightened, I had to trust Austin like I’d been doing since we committed to each other. I thought there was a great commotion going on in there, but I was mistaken. The grounds were empty, although we could see movement inside the lobby of the building. Alpha Jace and Beta Tyler, as well as Austin, shifted into their human forms, and we all made our way inside. The Luna and Cath
AUSTIN. “We can all agree that what Marcia did was wrong.” Aunt Clair began. “But do any of you know how it feels to be in heat?” “Hmmm…” Jace mumbled again, and my eyes flew to Uncle Jake, who was just looking outside the window. “There are two types of heat for unmarked females. The heat where you know your mate wants you just as much as you want him. That’s a perfect heat.” I bit my bottom lip and remained quiet because I already knew where this was headed. “And there’s this heat where you have no idea where you stand in your fated mate’s life.” She smiled warmly, but I saw pain in her eyes. I was sure she was remembering a part of her life in that situation. “It was the ugly kind of heat. You have no idea what to do. It’s like you want to walk away from the mate bond, but all of your being is drawing you to your mate. And then there are many men coming after you, and although you feel sexually aroused, you know they are not the ones you want. It can make you feel scared, beau
AUSTIN. Jace and I hurried to the basement, but he held my shoulder, stopping me from walking further as we reached the middle of the stairs, heading to where Randall’s cell was. “Can you smell any heat scent?” He asked, and I shook my head. “Her heat finished too early.” He added. “Weird, but it makes sense if it arrived too early.” “Could be. Unless she’s not there, but I can assure you, I don’t smell anything strange or something that makes me drool.” “Then you are good to go. Let’s go…” He patted my shoulder, and we proceeded to hurry down the stairs. We found two mated warriors outside the cell, and they were talking with Randall inside. Their attention shifted to us the moment we approached them. “We locked the cell, Alpha, even if Marcia insisted on staying inside.” One of them said, and my eyes went inside the cell. Marcia was sitting at the end of the bed, her hands gripping the edge while her gaze was focused on her feet. While Randall was standing, his back was agai
LEXI I was acting brave, but in reality, I was praying my training for a few months would be enough to match Auri’s skill since she had been a warrior for a long time. If I had a choice, I would never fight with her, but saying “no” only meant giving her the opportunity to diss me every time we crossed paths. So, I finally caved in and agreed to her challenge. My chest heaved as I looked at her with watchful eyes. She struck my shoulder, and it was painful. But I was able to hit her jaw. Her cheek was bruised. At least she couldn’t say I didn’t have the strength for a punch. I was still trying to regain my balance when she launched forward, her fists flying at furious speed. I dodged and kept stepping backward or sideways to evade her blows. My foot movements were precise and calculated, and I had to thank Harlene for working hard with me on my footwork. She kept moving forward, attacking with her fists, and more punches and jabs were exchanged between us until I saw an openin
AUSTIN. My meeting with the Elites had just ended, and I was hurrying out of the security building to pick up Lexi from the camp. She had been in a bad mood the whole day, so I hoped to cuddle and spend time with her. Sometimes, she just wanted to talk to make herself feel better. However, today, she was a bit more irritated than usual. I was wondering if she would have her period soon or if the herbal drink that she had been drinking had anything to do with it. Aunt Andrea had given her the recipe for the drink her own grandmother gave her to let her wolf surface, and Lexi didn’t like the taste at all. She said it was bitter and would occasionally forget about it, but ever since the full moon, I have seen her religiously preparing and drinking it whenever she could. She still grimaced after drinking it and would always feign puking. It looked like it was really horrible tasting, which could be why she kept snapping at me so much today. Well, I just knew how to make my female fee
LEXI. My whole body was shaking from pain rippling through my bones, but I tried my best not to falter and fell to the ground. I kept looking at Austin, who was cheering and smiling at me despite the tears on his face. I knew whatever fate held for us, I was lucky to be here—to be loved back by the man I had bared my whole soul to. “You can do it, baby! Call your wolf out!” “Aaaah!” I screamed my loudest, hoping it would drown out the pain, but it only intensified. I raised my head to the heavens, praying for my wolf to finally surface while telling Selene to forgive me if I chose to defy her fate because there was no way I would be letting go of Austin. The clouds moved, paving the way for the moon to shine brightly in the night sky, beaming its light over the canopy of the trees above me, and just when I thought it was already the answer to my words, the Goddess surprised me more. An intoxicating scent of leather mixed with the fresh and minty scent of mahogany trees swirle
