Thank you for reading
StaceyWhen we enter Jaden’s office downstairs, as we open the door, an overwhelming scent of blood, sweat and petrol fills the room. Hunter and Pax stand to greet us. They both look broken. Hunter’s face and chest are riddled with deep claw marks, the skin around them angry and red. His hair is matted with dried blood and his normally tan skin is deathly pale. Pax’s skin is dotted with shards of glass, and his skin is dirty with sweat and petrol. His nose looks broken as a large bruise forms under both his eyes. Both men are wearing only joggers, their bare chests and arms slick with sweat from running here, having shifted back just recently. Their eyebrows shoot up, darting from me to Jaden as he leads us around to the back of his desk.With a grunt, Jaden plops down in his seat and mutters, “Take a seat. You look like shit!” I glance at both his beta and gamma before scanning the room for an empty spot. Just as I consider perching on the edge of his desk, Jaden grabs my wrist and pu
Stacey“Stacey is right. There will be some knowledge it may have changed over the years. Caleb will know maybe he would be more willing to help?” Pax suggests, running his fingers through his short, messy hair as he contemplated their next move. Burn marks adorned his wrists from the silver cuffs that had once restrained him. “We can ask, but he will protect his brother. It might be best we do this on our own,” Jaden adds as he stubs his cigarette out harshly, shaking his head. I frown looking down at him. Aurora would help her brother. That makes her mates and his family, but he doesn’t trust them to help. Or maybe he still believes he has to do this on his own. My heart breaks for him, realising he still believes there isn’t anyone to support him.I gently cup his cheek, turning him to look at me. His green eyes still seem skeptical. “They will help you, Jaden, I know they will. After all, why would they have told you about Sabastian’s ability in the first place? We’re family,” I ur
StaceyI forcefully push his hands away, my glare burning into him as I aggressively jab a nail into his chest. “What is this about footage and the games - what alphas were watching! Start speaking mate!” I demand, my voice low and dangerous. He frowns, his muscular hands sliding down to smooth over my hips in an attempt to distract me. But I stay focused, refusing to let him win me over with just his touch. He pulls me closer, squeezing my ass and pressing himself against my core. A shiver runs up my body at the contact, but I use every ounce of willpower to resist him. My body may respond to him, but my mind knows better than to give in without resistance.“Jaden!” I hiss as he clenches his jaw, his eyes blazing with frustration. I swear I hear him mutter through gritted teeth. I wasn’t supposed to hear any of that. His hand ruffles through his hair as I wait anxiously for him to enlighten me. “Come shower with me," he purrs in a low, dangerous voice as his intense gazer meets mine,
StaceyThe scalding water cascades over my skin, creating a steamy haze in the shower. Jaden’s grunts mix with the sound of wet skin slapping against each other as he presses me up against the slick glass wall. As much as I tried to resist the way he then smeared his fingers on my lips coated in my juices before he sucked them clean before licking my lips … well, we both knew where it was headed.We had raced upstairs. I was still in my clothes when the water hit. Jaden pulls down my shorts and hooks my leg over his shoulder before diving in between my thighs. I moan as his tongue explores every inch of me, sending waves of pleasure through my body. With one final grunt, he releases inside me, filling me with his hot seed as I convulse around him in ecstasy.We lay on a rumpled queen-sized bed, entwined and breathing heavily. I could feel his warmth seeping into my skin as his fingers traced invisible patterns on my back. His head rested between my breasts, and I felt a sense of peace
JadenI slipped out of the pack house, careful to close the door softly behind me. The cool evening air nipped at my skin, moving swiftly down the gravel path as I made my way to my home office. Pax and Hunter were already waiting for me there. We needed privacy for our discussion about the next set of plans; too many eyes and ears in the pack house could jeopardise our strategy. Felicity’s abilities meant she could appear anywhere without warning, and I wanted to minimise that risk by meeting where fewer people would be around. Keeping her as far from the pack house as possible was a priority; it felt like she had an uncanny knack for turning up at the worst times.Stacey was there, and things were finally good between us. It helped to know she was on my side. I wasn’t going to put her at risk.As I approached my house, Hunter stood by the entrance with his arms crossed and a stern expression. Pax was pacing back and forth, his eyes darting around in anticipation. They both headed ins
Jaden“It might not take too long,” he says, his voice steady but thoughtful. “We have a date and a rough timeline. I can start with the section closest to where we left off and expand if I don’t find anything.” He takes another sip of his amber-coloured beer, the glass cool in his hand.Pax moves to the cupboard and pulls out three large ceramic plates, their surfaces gleaming under the kitchen lights. He arranges them on the granite countertop with precision. With practiced ease, he divides up a fresh salad, golden fries that look crispy and seasoned, and juicy steaks cooked to perfection. Each plate gets an equal share, the combination making our mouths water.He hands each of us a plate; the aroma wafting up and filling the room with savoury smells. Pax then reaches into the stainless steel fridge and grabs another cold beer for himself before settling down at the end of the breakfast bar. He twists off the cap with a practiced flick of his wrist and settles onto a stool at the en
Jaden“I still can’t believe she marked you there,” a smirk tugged at the corners of my mouth as I looked at my two friends. “I’d recommend it when you find the right one.There’s nothing better than proudly sporting your mate’s mark on your cock,” I joke, my grin growing three times its size as I adjust myself in my snug-fitting jeans. The two of them shake their heads. “I see your point, but personally, I love the idea of everyone knowing she’s mine. What if some stranger tries to make a move on her because they can’t tell she’s already mated?” Pax asks swirling his whiskey thoughtfully in his glass.“You’re just old school,” I jokingly tease, but he simply shrugs in response. “None of these fuckers would even go near her if they knew what was good for them,” I continue, with a hint of warning in my tone. Hunter smirks and pours himself a glass of whiskey, passing one to me before taking his seat. I take a drag on my cigarette, watching as the smoke swirls around us.“Oh, is that wh
JadenI stand outside their house, my hand hovering over the doorbell. I hesitate before pulling my hand back. I need more information before I confront them tonight. I can’t risk giving them any reason to dislike me even more than they already do. As the alpha of our pack, they may respect me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they approve of their daughter being with me. I can’t forget how they’ve made their disapproval of my conquests, known in the past.I make my way up the stone slab steps of the pack house, following her sweet, floral scent of ylang ylang. Gabriel stands at the top of the stairs, his face serious, as we exchange a silent nod. “See you tomorrow at the hospital,” he reminds me before I continue on my way to her room. I knock on the door, waiting for her to unlock it after sending Taylor home for the night. There had been no disturbances.The distinct sound of a lock clicking echoes through the room before the door swings open. I’m greeted by her bright smile, her
