I had just finished taking Gideon for the eighth time today, and he was obviously very tired at this point. Normally he'd curl up and fall asleep with me, but for some reason he was fighting off the notion of having a nap.
"I'm just hungry," he waved off my worries and let out a long yawn.
"Right," I drawled out the word, looking at him skeptically.
Gideon got up off the bed, tossing on his underwear and grabbing the room phone. He handed me the menu, letting me get whatever I wanted.

GIDEONPanic.Crippling panic.That's exactly how I felt when I opened the room door to see the light on and Mordecai gone.I tore through the building, not caring to stay at a normal pace. The fact that council members were watching our pack and my barrier around the door was broken had me scared shitless. I just got my mate and I wasn't going to let somebody take him from me.Floor by floor I scrambled up the stairs, not bothering with the elevator. I could run faster than tha

MORDECAI "Focus man," Brody slapped a hand on my shoulder. "I'm about to go up." Focusing lately had been hard. Gideon and I were more distant than when I had thought of rejecting him. He would leave before I woke up, and not come home until well past midnight. The only thing that let me know he even bothered coming to the house was the sound of his shower running at some point. Even when we were in the same room he'd look at the floor and leave without saying anything. The bags beneath his eyes and frazzled appearance let me know he was getting very little sleep. If he even slept at all. We weren't sharing a bed anymore.

MORDECAI Cassy and Miranda were quick to hurry out of the tent together. Tonight would be filled with celebrations and their families were likely waiting on them. They had that advantage over Brody and I. A loving family to go home to. "Want to come over?" I looked over to the blonde man. Brody's brows shot up in surprise," over as in... to the Alpha's house?" I shrugged," yeah, let's invite Caden over too." I paused and walked out with him. "Don't think Jennifer is going to be too up to it. Probably going to be with Jarrett all night."

GIDEON The night dragged on like it always did the last two weeks. Mordecai had hurt my feelings bad enough that Otto was barely speaking to me at this point. I decided that space was a good idea for the two of us until he either understood the gravity of what he'd said or I built up the courage to talk to him. He wasn't the brightest wolf in the pack, but I didn't think it would take this long. "Want any breakfast?" Orion yawned from the kitchen. He still lived at home with Beth, Dietrich, and Vance. Being the only unmated member of his family, his parents wanted to keep him close. His parents lived next to mine, and Silas's father was across the street. He also chose to live at home with his mate and father. Simon was beginning to go blind, so he was relieved when

MORDECAI Lifeless. I felt utterly lifeless. Things had gone back to being semi-normal with Gideon, but my heart felt shattered. He no longer stayed out late or avoided me. He tended to me like a wounded child and it was exactly what I'd come to feel like. Smelling my father's scent on the items he'd left had torn a hole in my heart. One of the weird things about death is that you don't even realize when you start to forget somebody. Their voice is always the first thing people mention that goes, but it wasn't the thing that hurt me the most. What had killed me was whe

GIDEON"We're leaving within two hours. Ace has the club set up, I just need you guys to keep Mordecai distracted. Do whatever you have to do," I paused and added. "Just for fuck's sake don't get him in on one of the orgies."Silas howled with laughter, slapping Orion's shoulder who growled at him. The beta had been taking on more of a workload since summer time because Morwenna wanted a pup and Silas was with her most free moments. It was leaving him grumpy and making me realize I needed to take a step back from work after this weekend to be with the pack more.Orion crossed his arms, sneering at the smaller man," don't let your fucking brother touch the kid.

MORDECAI "Come on man, loosen up. There aren't as many rules here. Lycans just kind of fall in place naturally," Alpha Ryder handed me what was going to be my third cup of wolfsbane laced alcohol. Something was up and I wanted to find out what. Gideon had been ripped from me the moment all the introductions were done and we settled in the room. I wasn't alone in this though. Brody was sulking deeply and drowning his sorrows next to me. Apparently he'd smelt Ace's scent wafting in the wind at some point. I gulped down a hearty amount of the cup and groaned. It stung my throat and clouded my mind," are you purposely trying to get me drunk?" I tried to sound confident b

He was just one in a long line of higher ranked wolves that didn't respect their mate bond. The scar on his neck meant

Love Thy Hellhound 65 - Unexpected Help
MORDECAI"What?!" Harley bellowed in disbelief. His dark brown eyes widened as he listened to Julian speak. His wolf-like ears flattened and he shook his head.I moved my head slowly, feeling like the world was spinning. The old chair I sat in swallowed me up as the wolfsbane numbed my primal system. This was punishment for nearly going on a rampage after I'd chucked my wedding band at a retreating Gideon. If Eloise hadn't become hysterical I probably wouldn't have snapped out of it.Orion's parents were in attendance. His fathers were off to the side whispering with Gerwulf and his mother was attending to a still crying Eloise.Harley started pacing, rubbing Kailani's back as she rested wrapped to his chest. Philian was off by himself on the couch playing with his tablet as usual. In the weeks he'd been here I hadn't heard the kid say a single word. I still had no clue why either Harley or his child showed up. Any time the subject was brought up he had a way of diverting the convers

QUINN"Does it ever get better?" My father let out a long sigh. He wrapped his fingers tightly around the necklace he wore. Every time he became anxious it was his go to action. He took a deep breath before looking my way. His eyes bounced as he struggled to see me. Lycanthropy hadn't been able to completely delay the effects of albinism for him forever. He was steadily becoming blind and it broke me to see."Honestly? Not really. You just become used to the new normal," his frown deepened as he spoke. "I spent years drowning myself in sadness. Killing myself over what ifs. What if Analise hadn't killed my true mate before I met her? What if I had worked things out with your mother before she met Matthew?"My father shook his head, looking away," don't let the what ifs kill you, Quinn. Atticus and Marie still need you at the end of the day. Don't make the same mistakes I did. You won't find the solutions to your problems at the end of a bottle or a rope."Fuck. My thoughts were rac
Love Thy Hellhound 63 - Losing Control
GIDEON"Hey sweetie. Dada misses you so much," Mordecai's voice faintly filled the air. He was trying his best to stay quiet while he thought I was sleeping.Harley had been calling in daily so he could see Kailani. Several times he had tried attempting to get me to join but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt so much guilt surrounding her existence that I couldn't even look at her.How horrible of a parent was I destined to be? Wallowing in self pity and unable to conquer my trauma. She was almost a month old and I hadn't even held her.I was no better than my father.'Stop it,' Otto scolded.'You need to go see that therapist again when things start settling down,' Philo spoke a bit softer.Hot tears stung my eyes as I listened to Mordecai happily speak to Kailani while Harley relayed their day. By the time the call ended and he came back to the room they had dried up."How long have you been awake?" He questioned. Carefully he sat next to the bed and stroked my messy hair. His

MORDECAI"Can you get my thighs too?" I let out a sigh of relief. Rolling my shoulders, my back cracked loudly and I relaxed. Gideon's gloved hands stilled against my lower back as the ointment began sizzling."Roll… over…" he struggled to speak. The rut was quickly taking his ability to think clearly.Gideon's hands trembled as he pulled back to let me move. I carefully maneuvered around him, laying my thighs onto his as I sank into the pillows. His breathing picked up, eyes taking in every inch of my skin. His scent became stronger to the point I had to cover my nose."Gideon," I spoke softly, nudging him with my knees. "Thighs, please. I promise you can have me after this."This seemed to do the trick as both Otto and Philo peered through at me. Quickly the older man lathered his gloves in the ointment before pressing them to my skin. His fingers pressed roughly against my muscles, making sure to drive them deeply.As much as I wanted to skip this, I knew it would be stupid. My bod

GIDEON"You've missed a lot," Harley frowned as he watched me rummage the kitchen for every blood pack it contained. Kailani was in a sling against his chest, sleeping soundly."So I can see," I spoke quietly. Otto's hunger was in overdrive. Philo was going nuts knowing what was coming. The first waves of my rut was enough to wake me and the two were trying their best to get me to wake Mordecai.After the doctor had left I found him sleeping peacefully on one of the sofas. Guilt hit me deeply when I saw the bandage on his face knowing I'd missed something so significant.Kailani let out a big yawn and Harley started gently patting her back. A small smile crept onto his features as he cooed at the small fae. His tail was slowly swishing to show happiness."You're attached to her," I spoke up. My fingers finally graced another blood pack in the fridge. Warmth didn't matter at this point. Otto was just happy to get anything. "I'm surprised he let you around her enough to get to this poin

MORDECAI"Stay still, boys," Harley tsked as he walked between us with a first aid kit.Brody looked at him with no emotion whatsoever on his face. The blood was slowly coating his cheek yet he acted as if nothing was happening."Congrats by the way," he awkwardly made small talk. Picking up the alcohol he pressed against Brody's new rank mark. "Sorry if you lost anybody you were close to. Could never watch those tournaments myself. Always makes my stomach twist.""Stop chattering and just hurry up," Mason snapped from behind the tiny omega. He had his arms crossed with a stern expression etched into his features."Cranky old bastard," Harley snapped back. The two stared at one another for a hot second before breaking eye contact."Mason the necklaces and packs are in the office. Why don't you go grab them while Harley finishes up?" I suggested, no demanded, as he kept staring daggers at Brody. Listening to them bickering the last few days was torturous. Mason would rip him to shreds

MORDECAI“She won't stop crying," I rasped. It felt like at any moment I would join her. Tears and all. "I don't know what to do.""You have to support her head," Jennifer reached out, trying to help me with calming down Kailani. However the exact opposite happened the moment Jennifer moved her blanket to the side, uncovering her arm just the slightest. The tiny fae erupted into a mess of uncontrollable wails, making us all cringe."Do you want me to go get Harley?" Levi had a rare moment of speaking up. He frowned as he uncomfortably fidgeted in place.I let out a long sigh," fine." Throwing in the towel was the best thing I could do currently. It had been days since the attack and I was still mentally a mess. Gideon hadn't woken up, I had to host the yule ball by myself, start plans to rebuild structures that become casualties, and now we'd gotten some bad news.Early in the day border patrol had found a newborn pup wrapped in bloody clothing. Brody happened to be on duty and sadly

GIDEON"Reveal yourself!" I demanded. The imposter, disguised as a child, quickly dropped their arms. They were playing their part well. Whomever sent them must've paid handsomely. This shifter was trained to stay in character so well that it reminded me of my council days.Fierce anger coursed through my body as the thought sunk in and the creature continued to stare at me with innocent eyes."Daddy?" He repeated again.A wail broke through the air and dragged me back to reality. My parents' house was a total wreck and the thick scent of blood was in the air.Taking a quick glance I found Jade cradling Quinn's massive form. Simon was ripping off his shirt trying to bandage up wherever he was hurt. Orion looked like he'd seen better days and my father looked ready to attack."Gideon…" Mordecai's voice called to me. He sounded scared, and when our eyes finally met it was confirmed. He was indeed scared. Blood was dripping down his lips and heavy bags were under his eyes. Instantly I so

MORDECAI"He'll be fine, dear. Sadie cooked him up something good so I can't imagine he'll be awake any time soon," Eloise gave my arm a soft squeeze as Julian cradled Kailani and Gideon snored quietly on the bed.Every bit of my being was on edge at the moment. We'd only been home long enough to clean up before Quinn kicked up a fuss over that weird ass kid. Ryder requested a moment of my time, and with our pack alliances… it was more like a demand.'We should be home with our pup. Nobody can protect them better than us,' Dusk huffed and bristled."Mordecai," Eloise spoke a bit more sternly. "We raised ten, so I think it might qualify us as reliable babysitters." The small woman gave me a warm smile as Julian chuckled."Fine, but if one tiny thing goes wrong you get in touch with me immediately. Okay?" My voice becoming more stern than necessary.Instantly Julian wrapped an arm around Eloise, bringing her into his side protectively as he cradled Kailani with his free arm," you'll be
