Brian’s POV Standing next to the stands, I held Bella my Appaloosa. Every year I show the new fouls of my stud. She was gorgeous. I loved talking to her, patting her soft fur. Animals were devoted and did not turn on you. Did not break and crush your heart as if it meant nothing in the first place. “Next Mr. Brian Luiff, founder and owner of the Misty Mountains rodeo, will be showing off his beautiful new Appaloosa and…..” I heard the announcer say. Walking slowly into the ring, I felt her staring at me. Her scent filled my mind. “Mate, mate is here!!” Cayden is jumping and wags his tail like a puppy. “Calm down, not now” my voice is stern. I looked up and saw her standing in one of the stands. She has got tears in her eyes. She is looking between me and another guy standing next to a blond. What’s wrong? Did he break her heart? I feel a sting in my heart. “Mate is crying, go to her” Cayden says, feeling the protectiveness of his mate. “NO, you have to calm down. I do not
Hailey’s POV Waking up, I feel restricted by something. Slowly opening my eyes, I could see a hand around my waist. What, who…..O. First, I could not think of who’s hand was around my waist, but then I remembered last night. Did I really go through with it? I can still feel the tingle inside me if I must admit it was the best sex I ever had. Slowly turning around not to wake him, I saw his face. It was more handsome than I remember. With very little sunlight coming through the curtains, I can see his features. His strong jawline, his soft brown hair just behind his shoulder length. I wish I could feel his hair between my fingers, running them from head to tip. My eyes snaked down chiselled abs. I gently bit my lower lip. Could I pull him closer for a kiss? Those lips connected to mine, as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. I can still feel the softness of his tongue on my skin, how it traced my breast taking each one, sucking them. My navel he traced, the nipping O god I need
Walking to the shoes, I could see that they were also designer ones, from heals to pumps in all colors. They were all in my size, how did he know that? I see the drawers to the left and go to open them. Inside was designer lingerie also in different colors, all of them in silk. Tracing them with my finger, I took out a red lace and silk bra with a matching G-string. Again, with my size, I just stared, he really knew me. But yet I did not know him. Was he a stalker or what? Turning back to the dresses and did not know what to wear as there was so much to choose from. Finally deciding, I took an off-shoulder red summer dress with a thin black belt. The material felt soft against my skin, hugging my features gracefully. The shoes were a pair of red pumps, looking at myself in the full-length mirror, I could not believe that it was me. I felt like a princess. Turned around making sure that the image in the mirror did the same. Taking off the towel around my head, I shake my curls into t
Brian’s POV Waking up, I felt as if I had never slept. My body feels drained. I kept dreaming that I was searching for her, Hailey. I could not find her anywhere. The only thing I could find was a faint smell. She was not at her apartment. He took her, the vampire. Was she in danger? Nope, it was just a dream. I am sure she is in her bed, sleeping soundly. Sitting back at my desk, trying to concentrate but my eyes kept going to the photo. Turning it upside down, I tried again. Now it was Cayden, “I told you that you should wait for our mate, now look. We have nothing. We lost her because of your ego and dumb-ass thinking!” “Shut the fuck up will you” I screamed, irritated with him. Running my hand through my hair, I could only stare at the documents in front of me. Looking but did not see anything, as I was not into it. “Breakfast is served Alpha”. I hear Bruce’s voice through the mind link. “I will be there right now”. I mind linking him back. Maybe that is why I needed some food
It was my sanctuary, a calmness for my soul. The mountains always had a little mist covering them, the valley below was covered with trees, giving it a jungle feel. Looking up, some clouds looked like cotton wool glued to a blue canvas. The sun was setting, giving it an orange glow over the mountain tops. My father and I would always take a run in the woods together and end up here. We would sit looking over the mountains while he taught me what I needed to know about how to be the best Alpha I can be. He was my father but also my best friend. Until the day of the attack. We were sitting here talking when we heard the urgent call through mind link from his beta, Chris. “Alpha, Brain, the pack house is under attack. Rouges have Luna” he shouted in our minds. It was as if our breathing stopped, my mother was taken by the most hated wolves, they had no regard for anyone and would rip anything and everything to shreds just to get what they wanted. It was the fastest run back I have ever
Cayden’s POV It has been a week since I went to search for her at the rodeo. Every night when Brian goes to sleep, I take over. Making sure that nobody in the pack saw me leave. The second night, I saw her at the bar where she worked. I cannot tell you the relief I felt seeing her safe, after knowing a vampire took her. She seemed unharmed. Standing in the darkness, I watched her leaving, following behind her, making sure that she does not see me till she gets to her apartment. It was after 1 am, and she looked so tired. When she is mine, she will never work again. I will give her everything she ever wanted and more. I will massage her feet, making her feel like the queen she is. The queen of my heart, that is. Still standing on the other side of the street, I could see her lights going on, as she drew open her curtains. She is standing in front of the window just staring. My heart, my body, and everything in me just wants to be with her except for Brain. That idiot still thinks he
Brian’s POV “My what?” I asked Bruce with shock evident in my voice. What could possibly be wrong with my bedroom? I was there just a few hours ago when I took a shower. “Do not ask questions, just come urgently” he said again, but with more urgency this time. “OK, OK, I am coming,” I said, still not sure what this was, maybe it was just him playing a trick on me again. He does that sometimes, like when we were pups. One day, he took a live rabbit and put it in my office, just so he could see what I would do when I opened the door. As soon as I opened it, the rabbit went with speed out through the door, passing my leg, making me freeze. He was laughing so much and teased me for about a week that I was scared of a small little rabbit. Walking to my bedroom, which was on the top floor of the pack house, I could hear someone screaming. “Let me out!” It sounded like a woman. I began walking faster, turning into the hallway, I saw Bruce standing in front of my door. He looked shocke
Hailey POVWaking up, I have a throbbing headache, it feels as if my head is going to explode. Opening my eyes, I saw I was in a different room.It was very masculine with the walls painted in an off-grey color, there was a bay window draped with grey-black curtains. To one side was a sofa chair in shades of grey and black. I was lying on a four-poster bed made with twisted iron. Light grey draping hanging from each side, a poster giving it a consoling feel, the sheet that covered me was also in the shade of grey and black with a soft feel. The whole room had a log cabin feel to it.As if my brain then registered where I was, I jumped up, almost losing my balance. Again, looking around, I tried to find an escape route. Rushing to the window, I opened the curtains. “No.NO.NO”. I can see that the room was very high up, probably the fourth or higher floor, so jumping was not an option. There were three doors of which I knew one was the bedroom door but which one. I walked slowly to door
