Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Sleeping together
HycinthMorning dawned. And with it, a flood of memories from the night before crashed over me. Oh, no...what had I done?The vivid scenes played like a movie in my head. Leander's passionate words right before he placed his mark on my neck, a symphony of wolves celebrating Nature's course, letting go of my inhibition at the shifter bar, caught up at the moment.LaughingTouchingLovingThe realization caused guilt to ricochet through my belly. I was wrong...so wrong. What I'd done was despicable. It wasn't right, and it wasn't fair for me to lead Leander on, to give him hope that didn't exist. I'd given the bond free reign. I allowed it to make me forget my reasons for being here...and why I had to leave.I had to stop this damaging behavior. I was leaving because I couldn't be with him, but seeing him hurt, hurt me as well. I couldn't stop it. It was as Nature had decreed. And I didn't want to make that pain any more severe than it would already be. I dreaded that moment...telling h
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Heat and desire
And now, as much as I understood I shouldn't have let it go so far, I also understood it would not help his mentality for me to constantly be telling him I was going to leave. For now, we just needed to get through the next four weeks on friendly terms, and I would face our goodbye when the time came. I decided to change the subject."Did Alpha Cyril and your mother complete the ceremony?" I asked curiously.The abrupt change in his demeanor was startling. Tension rolled through his body. His spine went rigid. He let me go and backed away. I spun around to face him. "I'm sorry! You don't have to answer that."He'd lost his mother about six months before we met. Apparently, it was still a tough subject for him.He stared with darkened eyes. It was like he was staring at me but also staring through me at the same time, lost in his memories. A muscle in his jaw twitched.I waited silently, not knowing what else to say, worried I might say the wrong thing.After a long moment, he purposef
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Hot intimacy
LeanderI knew the moment I woke up and Hycinth was gone, we were right back to square one. Maybe it was unrealistic, but I'd hoped the progress we made the night before would continue. I'd hoped when she saw how good we were together, how good the bond was for both of us, she'd want to choose me.I should have known better.Fantasizing about our future together was not a good idea, not if I wanted to survive after our four weeks was over. The pain in my chest nearly suffocated me. Hope was a bitch when it was torn away, and the only thing left behind was cold empty despair.But I had her in my arms now.And I would do everything in my power to keep her there.I kissed her on the forehead. She looked up, lake blue eyes finding mine. Stepping back, I took her hand. "I want to show you inside." She nodded and walked with me through the wide opening.Every aspect of the interior of the cottage had been carefully thought-out and crafted. I gestured to the floor, walls and exposed beam cei
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Low and seductive
HycinthLeander's eyes blazed as he walked to stand right in front of me.I didn't care. I wasn't going to be intimidated. Hands on my hips, I hissed, "How many times are we going to have to go through this? I've already told you nothing happened between us. I thought you believed me!"Leander ignored my question. Suddenly, his eyes unfocused, his stare utterly blank.My mouth went slack, confused by his abrupt change. It was like he was staring at me but through me at the same time. What the hell was he doing?I studied him, trying to interpret his unusual body language.And then I understood. Oh shit.He was inside my head!I gasped, "Are you looking at my memories?"He didn't deny it, his expression unapologetic.I couldn't believe his audacity. "Thank you for having no fucking trust in me! I do not speak lies. And you are a hypocrite!"His darkened gaze turned hard. A muscle in his jaw ticked.My hands ached to strangle him, but I settled with pointing my finger at him, my anger g
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha So lucky
LeanderHycinth couldn't hide her response to my provocative words.ExcitementDesireAnticipationAll filtered through the bond.I lifted her chin with my fingers, forcing her to look at me. Liquid blue irises revealed the truth. No matter what her mind claimed, her body and soul hungered for something else entirely-she craved me.And I desperately wanted to give her everything she yearned for.Hycinth worried her bottom lip between her teeth, tongue flickering out to wet her lips. So fucking sexy.I suppressed a groan.The moment lingered, singularly focused on each other, nothing else existed.From behind Hycinth, Luca grumbled, "So, yeah, I'ma have to interrupt this heartwarming eye-fucking moment before I toss my lunch."I glanced at him. Mouth twisted in distaste, he did look kind of green. I chuckled and loosened my hold. Hycinth blushed and worked to disentangle herself from my embrace. I didn't let her go far, twining my fingers into hers to keep her by my side."Thank you,"
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha So possessive
She hesitated a moment, pulling her thoughts together. "I'm just surprised Sydney's here."I pulled her to a stop. She hadn't seemed bothered before, but maybe I'd read her acceptance of Sydney's presence wrong. We were far enough from the competitors not to be heard. "Do you not want her here?"She shook her head. "No. I don't care that she's here. Her presence was just unexpected. They hadn't gone easy on her.""True," I acknowledged, unsure where she was going with this. But she spoke the truth. Sydney's punishment had been significant.A little shudder ran down Hycinth's spine as she admitted, "It was bad enough when you spanked me with your hand over my clothing. I can't imagine how Sydney handled Cyril's strikes with a paddle over and over on her naked butt, only to find three more wolves wanted retribution for her behavior as well. She heals faster as a werewolf, but not that fast. Her punishment was less than a day ago."Oh, I understood now. "Sydney has her faults, as you've
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Survival of the fittest
HycinthEven as I chatted with Gwen, my attention was never far from Leander. He and Ever stood off to the side, silently watching the activity around us.However, about ten minutes later, he walked away, without even a word to me.My heart twisted.I'd rejected him again. I shouldn't expect anything than his rebuff, but still, it hurt. I wrapped my arms around my middle, trying to hold myself together. Abruptly, Gwen squeezed my knee. I looked up to find her brown eyes soft, silently trying to give me strength, but there was pain in her expression as well.For the first time, I wondered if it wouldn't just be Leander I hurt when I left. Gwen and I had become close over the short time I've been there. I'd forgotten how wonderful it was to have shewolves as close friends. Even though I knew it was the right path for me to take, I didn't relish becoming a lone Wolf again. No one to understand me and no pack to call family.My Wolf howled mournfully in my head.But it didn't have to be t
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Price I have to pay
LeanderThree weeks had gone by.For the most part, Hycinth and I ignored the elephant in the room, the upcoming ceremony, preferring instead to stick to less emotionally-charged subjects. But if anything, three weeks of lighthearted banter and fun just further cemented the truth of what I was going to lose.Because no matter how much closer we became, I could still feel Hycinth's resistance. She wouldn't let go of the wall between us. Over the course of her time here, I'd shown her everything I was and everything we could be together.It just wasn't enough.Ever lifted his beer, eyeing me speculatively over the bottle. "What's going on?"I stiffened. Hycinth, Gwen, and Willow were having a girl's night, so Ever and I had made our way to a local bar. I needed the release. I needed to take the edge off and planned to get completely wasted. Ever's too-intuitive gaze remained locked on me, but talking about my problems was not on the agenda for this evening. Maybe if I acted like I had n

Leander's povHycinth's startled lake-blue eyes quickly cut from person to person.Her audience sat in rapt attention, smiles and excitement radiating on their faces, waiting for her to say something.But Hycinth's countenance reflected a far different reaction from theirs. Brows furrowing closer with each sweep of her confused gaze, Hycinth abruptly clutched her rounded abdomen protectively and sank as far away into the bed as she could.Instantly, I delved into her mental state, dreading what I would find.FearApprehensionMistrustMy heart dropped.Certainly not the happy reunion I had foolishly hoped for. Hycinth sucked in a harsh breath, unable to keepup with her continuously accelerating heartbeat.She blinked back tears.Without even a word to coordinate their identical reactions, Ever, Asher and Milo all stepped forward and lifted their mates. "Time to go," Ever spoke gruffly. Expression stricken, Gwen reached toward Hycinth, her mouth opening but no sound came out as Ever c
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Finally awake
Glancing over, I found Gwen's expression radiating with happiness, tears streaming down her face.Confused by both of their responses and fearful of the unknown, Ever asked urgently, "What...what's happening?"Eyes wide, Gwen whispered, "It's a mate bond.""What?" Ever asked blankly while I echoed with my own shocked, "What the hell?""It feels like the first time I saw you," she giggled softly.Ever shook his head. "But that's not possible.""I don't know how to explain it. It just feels that way."I had no idea what Gwen had actually felt, but I agreed with Ever. I'd never heard of such a thing before.Refocusing on Hycinth, Gwen gently smoothed a strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear.After a long moment, Ever murmured, "I think we should bring Willow in." "Ooh, that's a good idea," Gwen instantly agreed and looked up at me expectantly.I held a hand up. "Wait. I don't know about that. Yes, Hycinth seemed to react well, but what if more people becomes too much

Ever squeezed my shoulder."I intend to stay by her side and take care of her until she's awake."Quiet agreement was murmured as they nodded their heads. Eagerness to help was transparent on their faces.From the corner of my eye, I saw Gwen carefully make her way through the crowd toward me. Once she reached my side, her little chin came up, fierce determination in her expression. "Leander, let me help you care for her."I hesitated. "That's okay. I can handle it."Clearly unwilling to take no for an answer, she continued, "Leander, I know you love her but she is going to need more care than just you. Ever explained a little bit of what you're dealing with. I love her too. I knew there was no way she was aware of the full atrocities her parents had inflicted. She couldn't. Her innocence was too transparent and her sweetness of spirit. Nobody is that good of an actress. I am your Beta Female. Now, let me do my job."From my back, Ever murmured, "I think it's a good idea."Somewhat su
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Her lost Wolf
Leander's povShort beams of moonlight descended from above, intermittent strokes of luminosity breaking through the dense forest canopy as we ran. We didn't need the light. Wolf vision provided striking clarity of the landscape in almost absolute darkness, but even without such a gift, we probably would have been able to successfully navigate the terrain blindfolded. Each of us knew these woods like the back of our hands.Within minutes, the dimness of the forest gave way, revealing a soft glow twenty feet ahead. Not much farther now. My gait slowed, legs feeling heavier with every step. I hated losing wolves. It never got any easier to say goodbye.Finally crossing the tree line, I stepped out into the clearing and stopped. The drums fell silent.To my right stood four unmistakable structures. Meticulously prepared, each fallen Wolf had been anointed with spices and dressed in noble tribal fare. Six feet off the ground, bodies cradled in suspense by an intricately woven labyrinth of

Leander"No!" Hycinth's scream pierced the darkness.Instantly awake, every particle in my body felt like it had been lit on fire. "What is it, love? What's wrong?"Little fists pummeled my chest. Her frail body thrashed in the bed next to me. "Don't touch me!"Still snared by unconsciousness, it was clear the battle was in her mind.Primal instinct drove me forward. I had no intention of letting her fight this adversary alone. Without thought, I blew our partial mate bond. wide open and delved into her subconscious. For a moment, I was disoriented by the chaos in her head. Stark fear swirled amidst nightmare images-darkness stained with slashes of red, so much blood. No concern for her own welfare, but desperately fighting for the precious innocent she carried in her belly."It's okay, you're safe!" I whispered urgently while trying to contain her flailing limbs without hurting her.Torment all-consuming, she couldn't hear me. Continuing to fight her imaginary foe, she violently wres
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Sleep with her
The cabin door opened just wide enough for Sydney to slip inside. Cool blue eyes flickering to take in the scene around her, Sydney naturally settled into the chair across the room and waited for me to speak.Not wanting to risk stressing Hycinth, I continued to use the mind link, "I need you to stay with her tomorrow night."Sydney nodded, no break in her stoic expression, ever diligent to her duties. But I knew her better than that. The slightest twitch of pain in her eyes didn't escape my attention, revealing her struggle just as all of us mourned such a heavy loss."I don't know how... I'm going to leave her, "I murmured, getting to the heart of the matter.It was Sydney's turn to read my expression, to hear all of the words I'd left unsaid, just as I knew she would. She couldn't repair my stress but immediately, the Delta in her began to plan, "For those hours, we could increase the Sentinels in number and tighten the perimeter around the cabin. Additionally, the bikers-""Bikers

LEANDER'S POV"Leander," Grace's thoughts drifted through the pack mind link we shared. "Hycinth needs your attention."Instantly, I rose to my feet.Startled by my abrupt change in position, Ever lurched to his feet, chest puffed out, ready for a fight.I expected Ever's reaction, but what surprised me was Luca's similar response. Certainly lacking of any decent Alpha experience he could trust, betrayed by the one male he thought loved him the most, I wouldn't have begrudged Luca's reluctance to blindly follow another Alpha so quickly, especially me. But there was no hesitancy in his response as he stood ready, hands out, naturally aligning himself to Ever's body to provide me with optimal cover."Sorry," I muttered as I walked away toward the lakeside cabin. I hadn't meant to alarm them. No further words were necessary. I felt their heightened emotions calm.Breaching the entryway, I watched Sydney gently release Hycinth's hand, lean forward and place a barely-there kiss on her fore
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Difficult decision
"I know," he replied, "and I'm sorry to put you through this again, but I need to know...what her body went through."I studied his expression.He explained softly, "I can't help her if I don't know.""Okay." I ran a hand roughly through my already disheveled hair as I pulled back images I never wanted to think about again. "From the glimpse I saw into her mind and confirmation from those in the room, I think only two penetrated her vaginally but her wounds indicate her bottom was also violated, probably with claws."Luca's brows went up. "You could see that...in her mind?""Yes," I ground out through my teeth. In my head, my Wolf snarled furiously at the memories. "Thankfully, it appeared Hycinth was unconscious, at least during the time those two bastards defiled her.""What else?""The bruises and wounds on her body were too many to count. She had several spinal breaks that we could feel, likely incurred from multiple kicks due to the massive boot prints left behind on her back, bu
Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha Beat and rapped
LeanderA sudden northeastern gust of wind rustled through the trees, causing several russet-colored leaves to lose their already tenuous hold on the branches above us and flutter to the ground. Autumn had settled in since Hycinth had left me. Three long months. More than half of her pregnancy. The thought was staggering.Ever's head came up, his astute gaze automatically scanning the horizon."But I don't think so," Luca murmured quietly."What do you mean?""After Oracle Memoree visited us and we finally knew the truth, in all of its ugly glory," he flinched, green eyes losing focus for a moment before continuing, "the plan was to contact you...figure a way to reach out as soon as I returned from our old pack. Hycinth wasn't in great shape...she didn't think you or the pack would want her back...but she wanted to try.""The pack?" I raised an eyebrow. "Why would Hycinth think the pack wouldn't want her back?"Luca's shoulders pulled back, his tone clearly communicating his personal
