Nick's P. O. VAm I making a mistake or is she the true Luna that I saw once in the woods.As the beta to Alpha Ace, it was upon me to make him happy. Although he looked 'okay' the mate thing had really been a big upset to him.One of the witches had looked into his future and seen a true Luna as his mate,that she claimed he'd never find. For that, the witch lost her head but upto now the prophecy seemed true. This was his only shot of happiness and I'd not fail him. "I once saw you transform, but as I tried to approach you vanished."I answered Vanessa."What are you talking about, you don't even know me!" Vanessa snapped back."This locket, does it look familiar?" I asked. She stared for a while in disbelief before she replied."Yes,it was my mother's, she passed it to me on my tenth birthday.Where did you get it?" She asked. "I think it must have broken while you shifted, I found it on the ground after you had disappeared." I replied. "So you were really there, what makes you think a
Vanessa's P. O. VAlpha Ace had a well conditioned physique and he was very attractive. His glare though was out of this world, I barely struggled to maintain the eye contact. His glare had sent chills down my spine and my pussy was way wet, his pheromones were strong.I wanted Alpha Ace to fuck me hard, I wanted to feel his heat, feel his cock deep inside me.I don't remember the last time I enjoyed sex. Alpha Marcus oftenly fucked me, but he was big on pain and wanted me to feel his pain.He'd tie me up into bondage and play with me as he instilled pain to my different body parts. He claimed that my pain was his pleasure.With Alpha Ace, I felt a certain attraction towards him and the glare of his eyes promised both pain and pleasure, I was dying to have a taste of that.I could not tell if he was my fated mate because I had no wolf, but I'd risk it all.The shower was a cold one and quite refreshing, I wore the clothes that were handed to me and made my way to Alpha Ace's office escorte
Alpha Ace's P. O. VThree months later. It's now been three months since I last saw Vanessa.She left with Beta Nick to escape from Alpha Marcus and train and find her wolf.The moon goddess had been merciful to us. As Alpha Marcus was on a quest to conquer all the packs and rule as the lycan King with his warrior's, the lycan King took personal interest in the matter. He requested that all the Alpha's meet at the Capital. ***"You are all welcomed, I present to you the lycan King Charles."One of the guards announced as the lycan King walked in the conference room. After he'd walked to his chair he signaled for us to seat. " All the Alphas of the shifters ridges are present,we shall adjourn."the guard announced. "Alpha Marcus, you plan on uniting all the packs of the shifter's ridges and rule as the Alpha King, who commissioned this?"the lycan asked. Marcus seemed shocked and he hesitated for a while. " We just wanted to have one voice as werewolf shifters."Marcus replied vaguely.
Vanessa's P. O. V'Eden?’ I called my wolf.‘Yes, Vanessa?’ she responded sleepily.‘Are you up for a run?’ I asked, hoping she would say yes, i' d imagined this scenario and now it was my reality. I really needed to get out of here just for a little while,i needed some fresh air. ‘Run?’ Eden asked, and I could feel her excitement. Nick had instructed that I only shift under his supervision but he was asleep. I knew Eden wanted to be set free again.‘Yes.’ I responded. ‘I need to get out of here for a while.’She understood immediately. ‘Let’s go, Vanessa .’I got out of bed quietly and walked to my closet. I pulled a hoodie over mypajamas and put on a pair of sweats. I put on socks and sneakers and walked over to my window, opening it as quietly as I could.I was sneaking out stealthily and quietly,to avoid any trouble. I knew that I couldn’t go out through the front door. I would wake Up Alpha Ace and Nick, and they wouldn’t be happy with me wanting to go a run in the middle of t
Alpha Ace's P.O.V When one of my patrol guards mind-linked Nick and me and told us that he saw a white wolf running through the forest, my heart almost gave out.I kept picturing someone taking her away from me . I was so afraid she would disappear again. We had no choice. We had to tell her the truth.Vanessa came back downstairs wearing a dry pair of sweatpants and a simple long-sleeved black shirt. She looked amazing. She would look amazing wearing a trash bag, as far as I was concerned.She sat down on the armchair opposite us and raised her eyebrow.“Will you tell me what’s wrong?” she asked, looking at Nick. “I know I shouldn’t have gone away in the middle of the night without telling youfirst, but it was just a short run. I was nowhere near the border.”“Why were you out in the middle of the night in the first place?”I sighed.“I couldn’t sleep.” she shrugged.Goddess, I wanted to kiss her so bad.Nick ran a hand through his hair and leaned his elbows on his knees.“You are
Vanessa's P. O. VTo say that I was shocked was a complete understatement.I was completely shaken. A mate’s mark could be removed? I could die in the process?I pressed myself closer to Ace. I needed him. I needed his comfort and the safety of his arms.I was slowly falling for him. I still fought with myself, but it was really hard. Especially when he was around all the time and when I could feel hislips on mine whenever I wanted. I was getting addicted to the taste of himand I was slowly heading to the point of no return.I still wanted to slow down. A voice inside of my mind didn’t stopscreaming at me. I still thought hewanted me only because I was the True Luna. But the voice screaming at me slowly got quieter and all my feelings for him started overwhelming me.It was a huge battle inside of me, but now I needed him. I needed him to hold me and tell me that he would never let anyone take me away from him.“She can’t leave the house.” Nick growled. “She can’t show her face outs
Vanessa's P. O. VI was trembling from top to bottom.I have never felt anything like that in my entire life.I wanted more.My body was screaming for Ace. I wanted him to touch me again. I wanted to feel his lips on my body. I wanted to feel him inside of me. I wanted everything.“Holy fuck, baby.” Ace mumbled into my neck.I shivered when his warm breath touched the skin on my neck.“This was the best fucking thing that ever happened to me.” Ace said ashe kissed my neck, making me moan again.How was that good for him? I never touched him.He raised his head and looked at me.“Do you want more?” he asked, smirking.My eyes widened and I felt warmth rushing to my cheeks. I did want more.I didn’t want to tell him that, though. I was embarrassed.Ace chuckled and leaned in to nibble at my lower lip.“I would be more than happy to make you cum again, but I don’t think we have time.” he said with amusement in his voice. "Nick is on his way now and we've urgent issues to discuss."He said. Al
Vanessa's P.O.V I was shaking from top to bottom.Accepting Ace felt like finding a missing puzzle piece that completed thepicture.It was the best thing I’ve ever done.It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done as well.A part of me was still scared. A part of me was still screaming at me thatI’d made a mistake.His tongue massaged mine so perfectly. His hands on my body felt perfect,and I wanted more. I needed more.“As happy as it makes me to see that the two of you have made up, pleasestop doing that on the pack's cpich.” I heard my Nick's voice.My eyes opened abruptly, and I jumped off of Alpha Ace. I forgot where wewere. I forgot that I was sitting on him and that it wasn’t a really good ideato throw myself backwards. Instead of jumping on my feet, I stumbled andstarted falling on my back.Ace grabbed me just before my head hit the coffee table.“Nick!” Alpha Ace growled, shooting daggers at my Nick.“Shit.”Nick mumbled, walking down the rest of the stairs. “Are you okay?”“
The other lycans began to pay attention, calling out to her. She coated fur in ice, and slid frozen weapons in the direction of any lycan in human form who could wield one. The high body temperature of the lycans meant they quickly burned through their frosty axes and swords. Vanessa was working overtime. She began to feel drained and depleted. Her arms were heavy and her body began to feel cold within. Nick ’s wolf watched her intently. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He darted away and into the entrance of the complex, and just as Vanessa was beginning to think she had used up her powers completely, a wave of warmth and energy surged through her. She turned to see Laurie, her blonde brow furrowed in deep concentration. She gave Vanessa a small smile and nod. Lance’s wolf circled Laurie protectively. He did not look one bit happy about this arrangement. Nick returned to Vanessa’s side, ready for another round of ice. She called upon her powers and this time they returned. T
“Aria!” Vanessa yelled. Where had they gone? Where had he taken her? Magic flooded her veins. Without another thought, she hurled a wave of ice toward the disgusting bald man. It hit him with such force that his body flew up and straight through one of the glass walls that made up the complex’s entryway. He hit the stone steps outside with an audible crash and did not move again. As Vanessa turned her gaze she caught sight of Nick . His eyes met with hers and she opened her mouth to speak. Before she could warn him, the air around them crackled. An army of Collectors appeared. A large group surrounded the outer lobby while a small group appeared within the lobby itself. Fear struck Vanessa so strongly she could barely think. The lycans reacted in an instant. Some chose to shift into their wolves, while others remained in human form and used the weapons they had in hand. Leah dove at the Collector nearest to Vanessa, shifting into her lean black wolf in midair. The man screeched as s
Vanessa felt so helpless up here. She understood their reasoning, but still wanted to do more. For now she would have to wait, pray, and hope everyone was safe down below. T he lycans worked efficiently. They had been able to assemble their teams and lock down the complex within half an hour. It was a reminder to Nick of why they trained so hard and how important it was to do so. After securing the inside perimeter, they went outdoors. The scene that met the lycan teams looked like something out of a horror film. The second Nick exited the complex his senses were assaulted by the smell of blood and decaying flesh. The victims were scattered all around the property. The first girl he saw was a small, young brunette. She had long dark hair and large blue eyes that stared up at him accusingly. Her body was so badly mangled that he couldn’t have guessed the original color of clothes she was currently wearing. Deep crimson covered her broken form. The lifeless woman lay at an unnatural an
“Don’t worry about Aria.” He spoke in a gentle tone. “We have plenty of time before we need to think about kids. Let’s just enjoy tonight and worry about all of that later.” His breath was coming out in frosty puffs now. “I can’t do it,” Vanessa said. “Can’t do what?” She finally turned from the window to look at him. “I can’t have kids with you. I can’t do it. I won’t do it.” Nick looked stunned. “Why are you saying this?” Tears streamed down Vanessa’s cheeks. “Do you think I want to have little monsters? To bring them into this world?” “Monsters?” echoed Nick , his jaw tensing. “Yes, monsters! What do you think would happen if we have kids?” Nick was quiet. His eyes burned into hers. “I didn’t realize having lycan children would be so unappealing to you.” Vanessa stared at him, his words catching her off guard. “I guess lycans are good enough to save you, train you, and fuck you. God forbid you have a lycan ‘monster’ child of your own.” There was so much venom in his tone
He gave her a mischievous smirk. “You’ll see.” Vanessa let out a small sound of protest. “First, you need to take a shower and get ready for dinner.” “Dinner?” she asked. He nodded. “Dinner, at Alpha Marcus ’s place.” Vanessa couldn’t hide her surprise. “In the penthouse? But why?” Instead of answering, Nick bent down to capture Vanessa’s lips in a deep kiss. She felt dizzy as he pulled away. “No more questions. I’ll pick you up at seven thirty,” he said as he dropped her off at her door. He bent to give Vanessa one last kiss. “You’re not coming in?” She frowned. “I’ve got to meet with Aria. She’s been bombarding me with party planning all day.” Vanessa laughed. “She can be very persistent.” “Yes she can be.” Nick rubbed his temples. “I’ll be back at seven thirty.” “See you then.” She watched him head down the hallway, his tall frame moving with long purposeful strides. Damn he looked good from behind, from the front, in a suit, in his sweats, in nothing at all. Nick stopped
Vanessa shook her head. “The Collectors are looking for me. We can’t leave the complex. We can’t go outside Matlena’s wards.” “We’re not leaving the complex. Lucky for us there is a gorgeous unused banquet hall right here in the building!” “What? Why is there a banquet hall at Ulric?” Nick was the one who answered this time. “There are often times when Alpha Marcus is forced to entertain other large partners, businesses, and even other Alphas visiting the territory.” He grimaced. “Not to mention a surprise visit from the Infernal Council.” Aria clapped her hands together excitedly. “Exactly. All we need to do is give it a few decorations and voila!” Vanessa could tell by the way Aria said ‘a few’ decorations that it would be anything but a small amount of decor. Aria had a flair for the dramatic, and Vanessa could only imagine what kind of over-the-top antics were in store. Nick put up a hand to stop Aria from saying more. “We can’t just let a bunch of florists and caterers into
“Hello again, Ice Queen.” Lucas gave her a warm smile. He was awfully dreamy with his blond hair and Aussie accent. It was a stark contrast to Nick ’s jet-black locks, which Vanessa preferred. “I hope you’re ready for today’s lesson.” He gestured toward the vast collection of swords, knives, crossbows, and other weaponry. “Honestly this is not my area of expertise.” Vanessa laughed. “I don’t think I’ve ever used anything in this room. You really think I’ll have access to all these types of weapons in the middle of a real fight?” He cocked a blond eyebrow in Vanessa’s direction. “You don’t need access to them. All you need is to know a little bit about their make-up, and how to use them.” Lucas continued, “Vanessa, I think we can channel your powers. If you could learn to give shape to your ice, like you do with the shards, you could be capable of making any type of weapon at will.” Vanessa felt a rush of nervous energy. “You want me to make weapons out of ice? What if I can’t do it
As do you.” Nick felt the air around him shift from anger to sadness. “Your mate is out there. I’m sure of it. You will have what I have, but it will not be with Vanessa.” A dry chuckle escaped Alpha Marcus ’s lips. “It makes sense why my wolf never took to her. The damn thing has been unbearable recently.” “Give it time. She’s out there.” “We will see.” The air of the office lightened significantly. “Are we good?” Alpha Marcus nodded. “We’re good.” T he following morning came too soon. Nick had planted a quick kiss on her sleepy lips before slipping out early to meet Alpha Marcus . Vanessa was so content with Nick that she found it easy to forget all about the Collectors and the turmoil they caused. About an hour after Nick left, she got up to use the bathroom and found a small wrapped package on the sink. She opened it and gasped at what she found inside. A note read, ‘For my silver-haired goddess. It belonged to my grandmother. I can’t imagine a better use for it than brushin
Nick …” she whimpered. “Please.” He brought his mouth up to capture her lips in a feverish kiss. Nick released his hold on her wrists, quickly unbuttoning his pants as he discarded them with ease. Staring deep into Vanessa’s green-grey eyes, he planted his hands firmly on the backs of her thighs and lifted her off the floor. Vanessa wrapped her legs around his waist, as he pressed her back harder up against the wall. She rocked back and forth, the friction between them feeling delicious and tortuous at the same time. Nick reached a hand between her thighs and guided his tip to her entrance. Without waiting for him, Vanessa pressed her hips up and forward, burying his hard length inside her. Nick growled and gripped her hips more tightly. Slowly, he began to move in and out. The rhythm continually increased as Vanessa gripped his shoulders and begged for more. The sensation of fullness when Nick was inside was absolutely mind blowing. She buried her hands in his shaggy, jet-black hai
