CALLAN POVI woke up to in my bed alone. Annoyed was an understatement. For most fated mate couples, they spent days in bed together. Wanting to make sure that their scent was etched onto one another. It was also during that time that they mark eachother. Unless one rejected the other. Rejecting a fated mate was not only excruciatingly painful, but also was frowned upon by society. Rejecting a mate was rejecting the other half to your soul. Without them, after the wolf found them, they would be extremely weak. My mate however, decided that not only to leave our bed after one night, but we also hadn’t marked one another. Archer paced in my mind, needing to be near our mate. My entire body buzzed with unease that only my mate could quell. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. To my surprise all of my wounds were fully healed and looked as if nothing had happened. I felt more like myself than I had in what felt like forever. Time seemed to go at a snails pace, as I waited
Seraphina POVCallan didn’t come back to the room until late when I was fast asleep. I vaguely remember crawling into the massive bed and snuggling up close behind me. Having his skin touch mine was more soothing than I cared to admit. Alya was content as well with her mate so close. I woke up the next morning with hands roaming down my body. I had every intention of denying my mate anything sexual. But, as the tingles erupted on my skin at his touch, I quickly forgot as to why I was mad at him. I let out a soft moan as he moved me so I was lying on my back. Hot, wet kisses trailed down my exposed stomach where my tank top had risen. Slowly he moved my pajama shorts down my thighs as he pressed a kiss to the newly exposed skin. A cry left me when his tongue swiped up my sex. Making me My phone began to ring just as he began to devour me. “You going to answer that?” He spoke against my clit. “Letting it go to voicemail.” I moaned out as Callan swirled his tongue on my aching bundl
Seraphina POV I jumped off the bed and glared at Callan. I didn’t care that I was still hlf naked. “I’m sorry. I think I must have heard you wrong.” Just as he was about to speak I put a finger up, indicating I was not done speaking. “I tell you that I need to say goodbye to my DYING father, and you tell me I CAN’T go?!” I yelled. Callan got off the opposite side of the bed and ran his fingers through his messy locks. “You think I enjoy telling you that Sera?” He boomed back. “Gee, I don’t know,” I mocked like I was attempting to think. “Coming from the man who only does what HE wants.” I spread my arms out. “Because why care about what your fucking MATE WANTS! Only focus on what YOU want! Maybe I should just reject you—”I wasn’t able to finish my sentence and regretted my words right after they left me. Callan moved so fast that I couldn’t even track his movements until he pinned me up against the wall with my hands over my head. His chest heaved while his eyes turned to that o
Callan POVIt had been a stressful day. Starting my day with arguing with Sera was not my idea of a “good” morning. I spent the rest of my day being short-tempered with my staff and Beta. I could’t tell Sera that the two warriors that were found on our border were a message from her ex-husband. A warning not to fuck with him. Usually I would attack any pack that dare try to cross me. But because the pack in question was not only my mate’s home pack, but also where her loved ones lived, I had to think stratgeically and not emotionally. Drake walked into my office and threw a Snicker’s candy bar at me. The surgery treat would typically get me out of a bad mood, however today was the exception. I dropped the peanut-goodness on the top of my desk and ran my hands through my hair.Drake sat across from me and placed on ankle on the opposite knee. “What’s going on with you?” He asked while steepling his hands in front of him.I laced my hands behind my head and looked up at the ceiling. “
SERAPHINA POVI waited for the wolves on patrol to move to the next section of the border, before I ran over the border into my home’s pack lands. Luck had been on my side when I left this morning, with no one seeing me as I made my escape.It had been much more complicated to leave Callan’s side than anticipated. The mate bond pulled me to stay with him. However, I pushed through my need to be with my mate, as saying goodbye to my dying father was way more important. I couldn’t think about the bond or the repercussions of my actions. I made sure to keep my hood over my head as I made my way through the familiar woods of my childhood. After a long twenty minutes, I was finally in front of the packhouse. Alya made her displeasure known by letting out sighs and huffs everyone once in a while. ‘I need to say goodbye to my father. It’s not like I am here for something fun.’Alya huffed. “We shouldn’t have left our mate like that. The bond is not yet forged.’ ‘I didn’t choose for my f
SERAPHINA POVI woke up in a dark and damp room with my limbs feeling heavy. As my eyes came into focus, I realized that my wrists and ankles were bound to a metal bedframe. When I looked down at myself I was changed into one of my old nightgowns, instead of the clothes that I had come to the packhouse in. How Allister still had this was beyond me. It was in that moment that I realized where Allister had taken me. I was in the cells that were under the pack house. I knew from watching my father handle prisoners, that this was not a place you wanted to be if you didn’t have to. Although I couldn’t see into the next cell, I knew I was down here alone. I also knew that on the opposite side of my cell would be the “interrogation chair.” As I closed my eyes, I pictured the tools used to get information out of the prisoners put in the chair. A shiver went through me at the memory. The smell of piss, mildew, and other things that I didn’t care to bring a name to permeated my nostrils. As I
Callan POVIt had been two days, three hours, and seventeen minutes since I had last seen my mate. Each second away from her was more agonizing than the one previous. Archer began to get more restless by the second without having Sera with us. I checked my phone for any notification that would indicate that Sera was trying to get in touch with me. However to my dismay, my texts and calls had continued to go unanswered. Rage that simmered under the surface began to boil when I finally received a text from Seraphina.My Angel: Leave me alone AlphaMe: Where are you?My Angel: Somewhere safe and away from you. Me: Seraphina, this isn’t funny. Are you with your father?My Angel: That’s none of your concern. Our arrangement is done. Me: Sera, answer the damn question! My Angel: I already did. Now, kindly fuck off. Not that I had a lot of experience texting Seraphina, but something in these texts massages didn’t seem like her. I chucked my phone across my office and heard the itching
Allister POV After sending a text to my pack’s I looked down at Alpha Samuel’s sleeping form as he took in deep, short breaths. It was almost time for Samuel to meet the Moon Goddess. I took out the last vial of wolfsbane and placed the needle in the vial to get its remaining contents into the shot. I brought the injector up to the light and flicked the glass to ensure there were no airbubbles. “No hard feelings, Samuel. But, it’s time this pack has a true alpha.” I looked at his sleeping form. “And right now you just aren’t meeting the mark.”As I plunged the liquid into Samuel’s IV, I heard a gasp and the sound of something falling on the ground. I let out a curse and quickly turned to see Chrissy standing in the doorway with her hands covering her mouth. Before she could move, I moved with supernatural speed to where she was standing and yanked her into the room before anyone could see her. The last thing I needed was anymore collateral damage. I slammed the door behind us, maki
Suddenly my heart began to race not just from the crowd cheering, but from the pull I felt towards her. I didn’t realize I had taken a step toward her until I was only a few feet away. She was in a simple yellow sungress with her blond hair in a loose fitting knot. She was the epitome of perfection. The beauty before me had the greenest eyes I had ever seen and seemed to captivate me in a way that was indescribable. She visibly gulped as stood in front of her before she slightly bowed. “Congratulations, Alpha. It’s an honor to meet you.” she stammered. ‘Mate,’ my wolf Narif yelled in my head. I gave her a warm smile. I loved how her pale cheeks reddened as she spoke. “Thank you, it’s nice to meet you. I didn’t catch your name,” I said, my voice low as I tried to hide the breathlessness I felt at being so close to her.“Sophie,” she replied softly, her eyes sparkling with an unspoken understanding. “But everyone calls me Soph.”“Soph,” I repeated, savoring the sound as it rolled o
LIAM POV I slammed into the red head, who was on all fours before me. I had forgotten her name already. I had met her earlier in the day at my best friend Trevor’s house while we were all lounging around the pool. She was cute and had no problem with coming home with me in the middle of the day, before the alpha ceremony. Today my chosen father would pass the pack to me, making me the new Alpha. I had too many feelings about it, leading to what I did best. Pushing my feelings aside and got lost into something else or someone else. I heard a light knock before I heard my mother’s curse.Damnit mom! “Mom, get out!” I yelled while continuing to pump into the red head. She attempted to stop but I let out a threatening growl, letting her know that I was no where finished with her. I heard my mom bump her head on the door frame, making me roll my eyes. She reminded me of Jess from New Girl, with how clumsy she was. ‘Mom just walked in on me having a girl over.’ I sent a mind link to my
Seraphina POV Callan and I had decided to make the house near the waterfall our getaway home when we needed it. We arrived at our home for the next couple of days. It was a modernized one floor flat that looked over a gorgeous waterfall. “Tell me again why we can’t use this place as the pack house?” I asked the umteenth time to Callan as I looked at the waterfall through the floor to ceiling length windows. Everytime I came to this place it made me feel like I was in another world with its modern and exotic architecture. I looked at the floor to ceiling length windows and watched as the water cascaded down the smooth rocks. Everytime we came here I always asked Callan the same question. He put our bags down and walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Because we need to be closer to everyone, you know this.” He nipped at my mark, making me giggle. My mind went back to the first time I had come to this place. When a scream had left my lips as I made contact with
Seraphina POV Maeve rounded the corner and whacked Callan on the back of the head. “Hush, let the girl bring what she wants,” she scolded. It was so nice seeing her back to her almost normal self again. My brows knitted together when I noticed the visible sweat on her brow. “You okay Maeve?” She waved a hand in front of her face. “Yeah, jeeze, who turned up the heat in here,” I looked at the thermostat that hung on the wall and read sistythree degrees. I would hardly call that hot. I sniffed the air and noticed that her scent seemed stronger today as well. Callan’s nostrils flared before I saw drake running down the staircase and swooping his bride up. She cackled as he booked it up the stairs. “Sorry guys! Baby making time!” Drake called from the top of the stairs. I looked at Callan with a smile. “Guess we know what they will be doing while we are gone.” Callan chuckled before wrapping an arm around my shoulders. “Let’s get out of here before we have to put ear plugs in.”Mae
I watched the boys with a deadpan expression as they tried to figure out how to take off a dirty diaper and put a new one on. “Don’t worry mum, we got it.” Liam had told me. “Just sit back and relax.”How they expected me to do so when they looked like they were attempting some sort of science experiment on my daughter was beyond me. I went to push up from the rocking chair where I was seated when Callan spoke. “We got this babe, don’t stress.” I took in a breath. ‘They can do this, they can do this.’ I said to myself. ‘You sure about that?’ Alya my wolf chided back. It wasn’t until I heard the sound of a splat and a gasp from Liam did I finally decide I was done watching this shit show. Literally. There was shit filled diaper on top of Callan’s foot. Liam looked at Callan in horror and then disgust. A smile spread on our girl’s face at my boy incompetence to change a diaper. I stood up and marched over to a stunned looking Callan and Liam. Liam moved out of the way. “You k
You keep looking at my dick like that, we won’t be able to take a relaxing bath together,” he teased. I stuck out my tongue at him like a child, earning me a laugh from Callan. He climbed in behind me, the water sloshing over the edge at the movement. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed a kiss on my shoulder. I sank into his embrace, loving the rare intimate moment we were now sharing. It felt like so much had happened in such a short amount of time, that we had missed out on opportunities such as this. We sat in silence, simply enjoying the moment with one another. However I couldn’t help but think about Liam’s situation and about his family. For the first time since I had lost the baby, my heart and head were on the same page. I snuggled up to Callan and rested my head on his shoulder. Tingles ignited where we touched, further soothing my racing thoughts. “What’s on your mind, Princess?” Callan asked as he pressed a kiss on the top of my head. “What will happen to Liam?”
Seraphina POV 6 Years Later….“Ugh harder!” I heard a female voice cry out. Whoever she was, she was getting the pounding of her life by the sounds coming from down the hall. A blush crept over my cheeks and chest as I thought about what must be happening in the room. As I continued to walk down the hallway to find Liam for the Alpha Ceremony. I quickened my pace in an attempt to give the couple more privacy. However, as I got closer to Liam’s room, I noticed the woman’s voice get louder.As I approached my door, a thumping sound accompanied by the soft moans of a female was emanating from his bedroom! Dejavu slammed into me as I remembered the day that I caught Allister in my room with Lyla. My hand shook as I grabbed the vintage gold knob. I knocked on the door while opening the door and instantly regretted it. Slowly I opened the door and gasped at the sight before me. It took a few moments for me to register what was going on. Before me was Liam pounding into a beautiful red h
Seraphina POV5 Months later….I walked next to Maeve in the department store as we looked over the racks of baby clothes. After finally receiving permission from Doctor Desmond that some walking could help induce labor. Our babygirl was finally cooked. It was time for us to meet her. Only now that it was time, she was taking her sweet time and enjoying the comfort and protection that my body provided. I couldn’t blame her after everything that we had gone through together. Our girl was a trooper through it all. I felt a tinge of pain in my lower back and some pressure in my lower abdomen. The pain stopping me in my tracks for a moment. Maeve looked at me with concern. “You alright babe?”I held on top of the rack and continued to take deep breaths. “Ugh, yeah. Just Braxton Hicks,” I grumbled. After a moment we continued to look through the racks of clothes. Maeve and Drake were having a baby boy, and I couldn’t help but be envious of how much Maeve was glowing. I looked like a g
Mia POVI circled the chair that bound the man who haunted all of my dreams and almost every waking moment. The only time I didn’t think about what this man had put me through, was when I was with my son, my grandson, and daught-in-law. They seemed to drown out the voices and images in my head that wanted me to relive the horrible days during my captivity. “Please Mia, I love you.” Kevin pleaded with me. Tears, snot, and blood all congeled together on his handsome face. His blood red eyes were now constantly out as his wolf tried to heal the wounds that I kept inflicting. We were on day three of me torturing him and using toys on him that he had used on me. I refused to be the victim any longer. My daughter attempted to punish him, but didn’t have the stomach for it. I just prayed that she too would find some peace knowing that this pieace of shit would no longer be around to hurt us. She had come back down today for some reason. Maybe for closure? I couldn’t be certain. “You don’t
