*Piper's POV*
"Wake up blue eyes." Jaxon's voice spoke.
My eyes opened and I had to face this was not a bad dream I was having. I was still stuck in this damn jeep with Jaxon and his beta. I looked around and noticed that the darkness seemed to have subsided and been replaced by daylight. I had tried staying awake but in the end I caved into sleeping.
"Where are we?" I asked.
Jaxon parked the jeep. "Welcome to your new home." He smirked as he looked over at me.
"This isn't my home." I glared. "This is just a two month visit. Then I can go back to my real home."
"Sure." His smirk grew wider.
He opened his door to the jeep and got out. Nikko followed behind him. I let out a frustrated sigh to myself. Jaxon's scent was still in the car and I loved the smell. That was a problem. "Don't give in." I mumbled to myself.
The passenger door opened. "Are you coming?" Jaxon asked as his hazel eyes looked me over intensely.
My breathing grew heavier as I could feel the excitement within myself once again. My desire for him was there. Part of me didn't want to leave this jeep and step foot on his territory. But the other part of me was thrilled to be here, like I belonged here. With my mate.
I shook my head to pull me out of my thoughts. "Coming." I responded as I got out of the jeep.
"Not yet." Jaxon gave a seductive grin. "But if you play your cards right you could be later."
"Shut up." I gave a shove to his chest. It did nothing as he was clearly stronger than I was.
His hands gripped my hips and he pulled me close to him. "No, blue eyes. I think I'll keep talking."
Jolts of excitement went through my body as he held me firmly in his hands. Our lips were only inches apart from each other. I couldn't think clearly enough to speak. My brain was clouded as I was thrilled to be this close to him again. I glanced up and my eyes met his.
In seconds his lips were on mine. The grip on my hips went to my ass where he squeezed tightly as our lips moved in sync. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pushed my back up to the jeep so I couldn't get away. But I didn't want to get away. The desire had taken over and all I wanted was for him to do more to me.
His kiss was like no other. I had never wanted Matteo as bad as I wanted Jaxon right now. The longer our lips were connected the more excited I got. His lips then left mine as he trailed kisses down to my neck. He stopped before he reached the spot Matteo had marked.
He let out a low angry growl as his eyes were glued to that spot in particular. He had to be pissed that his mate had been marked by someone else. His eyes looked up at me again, this time with darkness. It was like if he could he would've ripped Matteo limb from limb.
He thought for a moment and seemed to calm down the longer he looked at me. Finally he spoke. "Let's go inside shall we?" Jaxon suggested and then proceeded to turn around and head for his pack house.
"Damn it." I cursed myself in my mind as I realized I did it again. I gave into his kiss and I felt guilty I had enjoyed every second of it.
I looked back to see two of his men grab my suitcases as Nikko kept an eye on them. I looked back ahead and followed Jaxon. He slowed his strides so I could catch up to him. When I did catch up we were right next to each other and he grabbed my hand in his tightly.
I tried to pull away before I could feel anything but he grabbed it again. I glanced up at him as I felt the calming feeling taking over me. I bit my lip as I looked away before he could notice. I should've pulled my hand back again but the need for his touch had overpowered this time. He tightened his grip slightly when he realized I wasn't going to fight him on it.
We walked into the pack house together and an older woman approached us. "Alpha Jaxon, it's good to see you're back. We've got everything arranged like you had asked of us."
"Thank you Catherine." Jaxon responded. "When will breakfast be ready to go?"This one must be one of the ones in charge of keeping the pack house going. "It'll be ready within the hour.""Perfect." He spoke once more and then began to lead me down the hallway.My hand remained in his as we went up a couple stairs. He then stopped in front of a door and unlocked it with a key. He pushed the door open and led me inside. I looked around in awe as he let go of my hand to close the door behind us.The room was massive, this had to be the alpha suite. The walls were a light grey in color and the carpet was dark to compliment it. There were two massive windows on one of the walls and the king sized bed was placed perfectly in the middle between them. The sheets were red and silk. To the right there were two doors. One led to a walk-in closet and the other led into the bathroom.There was a black couch in here as well with a coffee table and a television. He had a few bookshelves and two dressers. There were various pieces of art hanging on the walls. This was definitely a room fit for someone well respected."Impressive isn't it?" Jaxon spoke as he walked into the center of the room and turned to me."Yeah." I responded. Matteo's room couldn't even compare to this. We were a smaller pack though and the Dark Moon pack was the top ranking so it was only fitting Jaxon would have the best.There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Jaxon hollered.The two men who had taken my things out of the jeep came bringing them into the room. They left as quickly as they had entered. I was left alone with Jaxon in a matter of minutes. My things were in here now, it was clear Jaxon was going to have me stay in here. Excitement went through me but quickly was replaced with my need to fight back on this."I don't think it's a good idea for us to be in the same room." I finally spoke up and caught his attention.His eyes met mine again and a devilish smirk appeared on his lip as he closed the gap between us. "Why's that blue eyes?"I lost my train of thought as I took in his scent. "Because." It was the only word that could pass my lips right now."Because why?" He asked in a seductive tone as a hand wrapped around my waist."Umm. I-I-" I began to stutter out. All my willpower to fight him off was melting away.His lips met mine again. Moving in sync but this time was more intense. It was like we were craving each other. He used his teeth to tug at my bottom lip to get me to open my mouth. As soon as I did his tongue entered my mouth to battle with mine.He used his hands to lift me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me over to the bed and laid me down. He broke the kiss and before I could react he had my shirt and pants off. His lips went back to my neck, this time on my right side to purposely avoid Matteo's mark on me.As he kissed and sucked on my neck he managed to get a hand under me to unclasp my bra. He removed it quickly and tossed it to the floor to let my breast free. His lips then went from my neck down to my right breast. He roughly bit and sucked on my nipple while his fingers squeezed my other breast and pinched at my nipple.His hand that was playing with my breast then firmly gripped my side. He let his claws come out slightly and dig into my skin gently as he ran his hand down from the side of my ribs down to my thigh. I gasped as the excitement had taken over, I wanted more.His eyes looked up into mine as he then kissed down my body some more. He stopped at the band of my underwear and kept eye contact as he pulled them off. He used his hands to spread my legs open for him. He sunk his claws in and I could smell a hint of my blood as they broke skin this time. He broke eye contact as his head went in between my legs.His tongue licked at my juices. He then swirled it around my clit and then he proceeded to suck on me for a moment. I let a moan escape my body. He knew I wasn't going to fight it. The pleasure from being in this position with my fated mate couldn't be held back. His touch, his kiss, everything he was doing was fulfilling something I never knew I needed.I felt two of his fingers enter inside of me and he began pumping in and out roughly. He got more and more forceful. I could no longer contain myself. I closed my eyes and gripped the red silk sheets as my body had been taken over by my climax. I let out a mix of a moan and a growl as I finished coming down from the high he had just given me."Piper! What are you doing?!" Matteo's voice came through.
*Piper's POV* "Piper! What are you doing?!" Matteo's voice came through and brought me back to reality.I opened my eyes. I felt horrified with myself. I gave in to Jaxon too easily. He raised himself off and I felt the fight within me. I pushed him off of me. He was confused as he didn't expect my reaction considering what I just let him do. I moved myself as far as I could to the other end of the bed and wrapped myself in the red sheets."Stop!" I shouted. "How could you make me do that?!"He thought for a moment with a serious look on his face. His hazel eyes looked into mine. "Piper, I didn't force you." He stood up from the bed. "I don't know what you've heard but I would never force someone into that, especially my mate. You acted on your own desires."I was silent as I glared at him.He sighed. "Why don't you take a shower? I'll come get you when the food is ready."I kept my silence. He could tell he wasn't going to get anywhere with me on this right now. He turned and left t
*Jaxon's POV*I exited the room quickly and headed down to my office. When my pack members had found out I returned with a new member people started talking. Some were scared at what this meant, others said I had made a huge mistake. I called this meeting as I needed to set them all straight. The gossip going around would get mixed up as it went along and it would do more harm than good.My members needed to be open to the idea of accepting Piper as a leader. She's my mate and I'm their alpha. If they disrespected her it would be like disrespecting me as well. Together I knew she and I could do amazing things for the Dark Moon pack. It would just take some time for us to get there.I opened the door to the office where my members were waiting for me. I shut the door behind me and headed for the seat of my desk. "I figured we would meet here and then I will address the rest of the pack." I spoke as I took my seat.I had only called the pack members I needed to help keep people from tal
*Piper's POV*Three days. I sat here for three days thinking about his question. For the most part he gave me my space during this time without me needing to ask for it. Part of me was grateful for the distance he was giving me, but part of me got excited every time I could smell his scent coming closer to the bedroom. He'd come in and do what he needed and then leave, which in return made me feel disappointed. Curse this damn mate bond we had.I let out a frustrated sigh. After these three days of thinking I still was coming up blank. I couldn't remember a damn thing before being with other children. I never thought too much of it before. How could I worry about parents I had no proof of even having?But everyone comes from somewhere. Where were my parents? Someone had been responsible for giving me life. I felt a little guilty that I never worried about it until now. Something must've happened to them, or to me. Whatever it was Jaxon seemed to know something about it or he wouldn't
*Piper's POV*I sat on the bed for a while after Jaxon had left the room. I had gotten caught up in the moment with him. I knew it was dangerous to be close to him and I slipped up. After he left I could feel the shame and regret develop inside of myself.I felt dirty. All I wanted to do was talk and that didn't happen. This was unacceptable behavior. I never acted on impulse like this, usually I had been able to really think things through. Of course back at Moon Stone I hadn't been around my fated mate.I could tell I was in over my head. Jaxon made my body feel things I've never experienced before. Things not even Matteo could make me feel. I had never just wanted to rip off his pants and just please him. With Jaxon though, at that moment it was the only thing I could think about and I was on a mission to make it happen.I crawled out of the bed and grabbed a change of clothes. I could smell Jaxon all over me still. While it did help keep me calm about what we just did it also made
*Jaxon's POV*"Jaxon... Jaxon." Nikko called out to get my attention."Sorry." I apologized for zoning out. "I was mind linking with Piper.""I see." He responded and a smirk crossed his lips. "Are you ready to get back to the matter at hand or are you needing to go tend to your mate?""I'll be tending to her later." I knew what he was getting at so I shot him a warning glance. The only warning he would get to not press the matter any further than he already had."Very well." He cleared his throat. "The pack is wondering what the next plan of action is towards Moon Stone. They don't like that they have been let off the hook.""Have I not made it clear enough that Moon Stone is still on my shit list?" There was a slight annoyance in my voice. The pack seemed to think because I had found a mate from the enemy pack that I had lost all my common sense."You have. They're still just worried about what effect Piper might have. Like what if she happens to convince you to let Moon Stone go?"
*Piper's POV* I waited patiently for Jaxon to return. This time we were going to actually talk. I refuse to let anything further happen with him. No matter how he made me feel I couldn't let it get the best of me. Giving in to him couldn't be an option right now.The door to the room opened and Jaxon stood by as the food for the both of us was brought in by a few of the pack members. They set it up on the table and left quickly. He shut the door behind them which left him and I alone."Sit. Let's eat." He motioned to the chair for me as he made his way to sit down.I got up from the couch and joined him at the table. Tonight it appeared a roast had been prepared. It was served with a side of salad and mashed potatoes. I started digging in as I was hungrier than I had anticipated."Worked up quite the appetite there?" Jaxon asked in an amused tone.I shot him daggers with my eyes as I swallowed the bite of food I had taken. "Shut up or I'll stab you with the fork.""Kinky." He smirked
*Piper's POV*"I still don't think this is a good idea." Jaxon spoke as we waited for Nikko to bring something up that Jaxon requested."I'll be the judge of that." I responded as I sat on the couch with my arms folded across my chest."I think we should wait a little longer." I could sense he was still apprehensive about the thought of sharing everything he had with me."You say you're the one I should trust right?" I asked."Yes." He answered."Then prove it Jaxon. If you want to get anywhere with me Jaxon you need to prove yourself and tell me the truth." I felt like it was a perfectly good reason. If the truth was really on his side then this was an advantage to him.He nodded in response. "You're absolutely right." He finally agreed with me."I'm glad we can finally agree on something then." I responded.There was a knock on the room door. Jaxon went and answered it. I watched as he stepped into the hall. Clearly he was talking with Nikko for a moment. I attempted to listen in bu
*Jaxon's POV*I sat in my office, contemplating my next move with Piper. It had been a week since I revealed to her part of what Moon Stone had been doing. The day after she seemed to pull away from me again. It seemed like it was best to give her a little space as she tried to process it all. It couldn't be easy, finding out that the life you thought you knew all along wasn't the truth. That the ones you trusted turned out to be the ones you should've been careful of.She still had more things to learn. I only planned to give her one thing at a time to handle. There was too much information to take in. I worried giving her too much at once might become overwhelming. I wanted her to be able to actually process everything.I was pulled out of my thoughts as I could hear footsteps coming closer to my office door. I could pick up Nikko's scent but he wasn't alone. I gave the air another sniff to try to figure out who it was. It took me a moment but I finally recognized it as Jasper's. He
I was startled by the frantic pounding on my bedroom door. I stood up from my chair and made my way over to it. I already knew it was probably my best friend Alli. There really wasn't anyone else it could be.I open the door and I can see right away she's been crying by the mascara that streams down her face. This had to mean we had lost another one."Did she get Micheal?" My voice shook as I asked her.She nodded her head in response.I grab her arm and lead her into my bedroom. I shut the door behind us as we needed to have our privacy for this. Not that anyone would believe us if they had heard our conversation."Talk to me." I spoke as I guided her to sit down on my bed.She was breathing frantically and I could see she was trying to calm herself down. Her blue eyes looked into mine filled with nothing but fear. A feeling that I had come to know too well these last few days."Kira." She spoke my name quietly in a voice filled with emotion."Tell me what happened Alli." I attempted
"The usual?" Elijah asks as he stands in front of me on the other side of the bar. He was tall with short dark hair and some stubble on his face."You know me so well." I shot him a devious smirk as I moved some of my chocolate brown hair over my shoulder."Well I sure would hope I do by now Violet." He responds as he pours my favorite drink into a glass for me. He then proceeds to hand it over to me while looking me up and down, noticing the revealing black dress I was wearing. "Did you come down here for business or pleasure tonight?"I took a sip from the glass and set it on the counter. "I haven't decided yet. But you'll know within the next hour or so I'm sure." I gave him another smirk."That doesn't sound very promising." He cocked an eyebrow. "Do you ever take a night off Vee?""Only when I feel like it, but I enjoy it so much I'd almost consider it more of a hobby than actually working." I answered. "Besides, the more I put in the happier our boss is and that makes life a lit
What started out as a fun night ended up becoming something I wasn't prepared for. Alison, my closest friend, decided it was time to get me out of my apartment. My boyfriend had broken up with me two weeks ago and I had refused to leave my home ever since. We had been together for years but he decided that someone else had caught his attention.It was hard on me. He had helped me get through so much and then in the end, he left. Just like everyone else had seemed to. I was just barely feeling okay again. It was a struggle but I was making it through the best I could.I straightened my strawberry blonde hair. I then put on some makeup so I felt at least somewhat decent. I put on a black spaghetti strapped dress and then looked myself over in the mirror. I looked good, the first time I had any confidence since the break up."Maci are you ready?" Alison called out as she entered the apartment. She had a spare key so she could come and go as she pleased."Yeah." I answered as I exited my
"I have to get going." Ellie spoke as she stood up from the couch. Her long light brown hair hung down to her waist and she looked back at me with her brown eyes. "Sorry, Liv. It's just that time of night.""You leave at seven in the evening on the dot every night." I groaned at my best friend. "You know you've always been a killjoy. We've just graduated and we're supposed to be living our best lives. But here you are needing to be home so early.""I know." She chuckled to help lighten the mood. "I'll see you tomorrow?"I let out a small sigh. "Yes.""Awesome." Ellie smiled right before leaving the room.It was the strangest thing. She could not stay anywhere later than seven. No matter where we were she would leave. It could be something like a football game or even just a store trip. She had been my best friend for ten years and we never once had a sleepover. We never had a girls night. There was never enough time.I got up from the couch and headed into the bathroom. I put my red h
"Fiona!" His dark voice echoed as he called out my name. "You can't hide forever, you have no where to go."+He was right. We were on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. What was supposed to be an all adult getaway had became a nightmare. Everyone else was dead. I was the only passenger left because I had caught on that something wasn't right with Jackson.He was attractive and charming, but a little too charming. The moment he introduced himself to my group of friends everyone loved him. They let their guards down. That's where they went wrong.I could feel my heart practically stop as his eyes met mine. I had been moving from place to place to stay hidden. But I made the mistake of hiding under the bed."Got ya." A devious smile crossed his lips and he proceeded to yank me out of hiding."Let me go you asshole!" I shouted as I tried to hit his hands away."Why shout? No one alive can hear you." He responded.Jackson's eyes were a dark grey. His hair was black, fitting as it se
*Piper's POV*Jaxon and I followed behind Dee as she led the way to the library. I could feel knots twisting in my stomach. Whatever this is, I could sense it was a big deal.Jaxon tightened his grip on my hand. We glanced at each other and then back to Dee. I could tell even he knew this wasn't going to be something small. Which meant, we were both now on edge.We entered the library and Dee locked the doors behind us. Clearly whatever this is, it needed to be secret as well."So this is where you've been?" I noticed after the ceremony she disappeared, but I thought I may have just lost her in the crowd."Well, I've been working on this for a while." She responded. "The moment I had it opened I couldn't hold myself back from finding out about this true luna thing.""Well, let's get on with it." Jaxon seemed a little impatient.I can't say I blame him, I'm impatient myself. We've been waiting so long for some answers. We were just seconds away from getting them but even that felt like
*Jaxon's POV*"Are you ready?" I glanced at Piper for a moment.We got back an hour ago. The pack woke up and everyone was gathered and waiting to hear how it all had gone."Yes." Piper confidently nodded.That's one thing I love about her. She doesn't let her nerves get the better of her. Even if she feels them she pushes them aside and takes on her duties as a leader. Piper is one of the strongest female wolves I've ever met.I've been very fortunate to be fated to her.I never expected to meet my mate, ever to be honest. I figured after having been exiled from Moon Stone that the odds of finding one were slim. The night we went to take them down it hit me like a ton of bricks.My priorities changed that night, I just wanted to get her home. It was easy because Bradley didn't want to fight. He wasn't prepared to take on my pack and me. So of course he sacrificed Piper because he didn't count on the fact we would fall for each other.But we did.And here we are, still together and ev
*Piper's POV*After some convincing both of the packs agreed to merging. I could sense they were all unsure but they did seem to realize it was for the best. They did have a little bit of compromising though.Moon Stone still didn't want to up and leave their homes. So the decision was made that they would get to stay where they are since Night Blood isn't too far away. They still would answer to Parker but they would have someone else watching over them, Elliot.Elliot was going to be under Parker's orders but he was leading Moon Stone. I felt like it was a good thing for them. Elliot had always had a good set of morals from what I remember when I was a part of the pack and I had my faith he would do amazing things for Moon Stone.Parker would make Elliot report to him daily and he'd have his check in's with the pack as well. If anyone seemed to be trying to go back to the old ways of Moon Stone's leaders then Parker would alert Jaxon and I immediately. That way we could be included
*Piper's POV*Matteo and I circled each other, baring our teeth as we waited for the other to make the first move. As we did the alpha of the rogues emerged which caused Jaxon to shift. More wolves joined us as the pack of rogues stood behind their leader.There were a lot of them. How they had managed to accumulate so many is beyond me. There's no way all of them were exiled, some of them had to have chosen to be a part of this madness.My eyes looked into Matteo's gray orbs. I was trying to read him, to see maybe where exactly his head was at. Unfortunately, he was blocking me out.Never in a million years did I think he would be the one I had to take out. It was only months ago he was my everything. Now, I felt like there was only one way this ends and I refused to be the one on the losing side.The tension between all of us continued growing and growing. Finally, Matteo had enough. He charged me which caused the rest of the wolves to begin fighting.I dodged him, which made him hi
