Jake
Holding on for dear life with one hand, I chanced the possibility that I would lose my balance. The need to touch myself was so strong, I reached down when he growled at me. “Don’t you fucking dare. I never said you get relief,” Viktor said.
Whining, I lifted my free hand back to his thigh and held on as his pace quickened. I sighed as he came angrily. Warmth filled my mouth and slid down my throat. Goddess, he was going to be the death of me but fuck, at least I’d go happily.
Pulling out from my mouth, Viktor flipped me so that I faced the other way. I could no longer see him but I felt his hand on my back as he pushed me down onto all fours. Jason purred as if we were in heat but I made a note to tease him about it later.
A low thump sounded from behind me as Viktor dropped to his knees. I felt him press up behind my entrance and swallowed. He was still hard
KacieClara didn’t say another word as we walked back to the packhouse. I was too stunned to speak. I couldn’t remember if there was something I was supposed to do or somewhere I needed to be. Her confession was playing on repeat and I was unsure of what to do with the information.The packhouse was surprisingly empty and we separated with a nod. I knew they would ask how my first session with her went. I wasn’t sure if I would tell Viktor and Jake about it tonight. Was that because I didn’t know how they would react? Or was I not ready to admit out loud that Clara might be right?A witch? What do I do with this? Do I have to do anything about it or can I keep it to myself? I already knew Kacie and her sisters wouldn’t say anything about it. The other two had to know about it too. Do I continue to trust them to keep it a secret? Do I have a choice? I did trust them to keep it a secr
KacieInstead of standing in front of the door, I sat on the bed attempting to figure out why I was feeling the way I was. Minutes had passed and I was still unsure of what I should do. I didn’t know how I should react to Viktor and Jake being together without me. On top of that, there was a countdown in my head to when they would come out of the shower and I had no clue what to say to them when they did.There was a part of me that wanted to talk about what happened today and insisted I stay up and wait for them. The insecure part of me wanted to hop into bed, jump under the covers, and pray to the Goddess that I fell asleep before they came out.Paranoia had officially set in. My gaze drifted back and forth between the door and the bed. All the while, I’m contemplating my next course of action. Before I could make up my mind, the shower turned off and muffled voices could be heard on the other side
Kacie“I don’t like the person I was today,” I said. “It didn’t sit right with me.”Viktor is still quiet as I stare at him. The way he’s looking at me tells me he can see right through me and knows there’s more to the story. Leaning forward, he grabs my hand and lifts it to his lips.“Sometimes, it helps to be someone else when you have the heavy weight of responsibilities on your shoulders,” Viktor said. Sighing, I nod. I know this. “Your gift is powerful and will be trying at times. This is only the beginning and one day you’ll have to use those gifts to protect our pack. I need you to brace yourself for when that day comes, my queen.”Jake’s fingers disappear and I have to bite back the groan. My massage is done for now. I wait for Jake as he maneuvers his way around me until he’s seated in front
KacieI hate it when we fight. It takes a lot for someone to admit when they were wrong. The way he felt about the witches was still an issue. I sighed as I Wrapped my arms around his torso. I nodded. When we separated, Viktor caressed my cheek.“Don’t you feel better now that you’ve told us what was on your mind?” Viktor was cocky as he flashed me a smile.“Yes,” I said grudgingly.“Is there anything else you’d like to get off your chest?” We weren’t mind-linking but it was as if my mate could read my mind. I couldn’t hide it from him. Jake’s eyes locked on my mouth as I bit into my lower lip.“There’s more?” He asked, his eyes widening. I couldn’t help but laugh.“Not about Clara,” I said. Jake wasn’t convinced.
KacieWhen I woke up the next morning, the sun was still in the process of rising. The moon was still visible and stared back at me through the window. Despite the chilliness coming from outside, I had two heated pillows in the bed with me. I was laying on my side, my face resting on Viktor’s chest, who lay to my left. Jake spooned me from behind.After our talk last night, I felt a lot better. The guys knew I was hurting from my session with Clara and they massaged me until I was more than relaxed. By the time I fell asleep, I was naked. They hadn’t bothered getting dressed when they slipped into bed. I could feel every piece of Jake behind me, from his chest to his muscular torso, to the hardness that dug into my backside.We would have breakfast with the witches today. The disdain on Jake’s face last night flashed through my mind. I knew his dislike for them ran deep but it was definitely de
KacieMy breathing quickened as Jake’s lips trailed down my neck. I widened my legs without shame and started to grind against him. He didn’t rush, he told his time and I groaned as he lightly bit the flesh beside Viktor’s mark. Wetness pooled between my legs and whimpered as Viktor’s cock pressed against my back.His fingers switched back and forth between my breasts before trailing down my stomach. Goddess, these two would be the death of me but at least I’d go happily. I laughed at the thought. Viktor’s hand was on my chin and the laughter died on my lips.He lifted my chin and kissed me. I could feel the desire behind his kiss. I almost got lost in him, almost. It was hard to do so when Jake’s kisses had left my neck and trailed down. Jake’s mouth wrapped around my breast and he sucked hard.Moaning into Viktor’s mouth, Jake’
KacieWithout waiting, he pulled me down on his hard cock. He stretched me until he filled me again. Leaning forward, I placed my hands on his upper torso for balance. His eyes dropped from mine to my breast as he lifted me again. They bounced as he pulled me down again, hard and slow. Jake groaned at the sight and repeated the motion. Lifting me, he jerked his hips up and slammed me down hard. I cried out as Jake set the pace, his cheek muscles flexing as he followed the pleasure.Viktor was at my back, his hands on my body as I rode Jake. I fought hard to pay attention to him and what he was doing but Jake wouldn’t let me get sidetracked. Keeping his slow pace, he lifted me up to his tip and pulled me down hard on his length.I ground my hips along with Jake’s movements. Viktor’s fingers slid down my back and wet fingers pressed at my back entrance. I couldn’t tense up even if I wanted
KacieAs if it was the last thing he needed, Jake threw his head back and groaned as he came. His hands held me firmly as he continued bouncing me on top of him. I milked him as I rode out his orgasm. Viktor’s cock hardened inside of me as his thrusts hardened. He bit down on my shoulder as his pace quickened. Viktor pounded into me as he came hard and fast.“Kacie,” He moaned as he rode the high of his orgasm. When he was empty, we collapsed beside Jake. Our bodies were slick with sweat as we lay on our backs. The sun was high in the sky now and birds could be heard chirping outside.“That was amazing,” Jake said. Despite how tired I was, I was unable to hold back a giggle as I looked to my left and to my right.“Damn right it was,” Viktor said. “It’s like that every time.”
My heat aches as the thoughts flit through my mind one after the other. Tears prick the corners of my eyes before filling them. My chest pangs with the need to be wrapped up in his arms. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jake would do all of those things. He would care for me as he had before. He would look after me as my Beta, my partner, and the father of our child.My soul wept for him, my heart broke for him, and my mind went mad for him. I curled into a ball on the bed and grasped at the sheets as the pain poured from my body. I screamed as it became unbearable and my vision went white. I cried out, my cry turning into a scream, as the door burst open. It slammed against the wall, but still my vision remained impaired.I couldn’t see anyone, but I heard voices. I felt the rush of people around me and hands checking me and prodding my belly. I froze when I felt the warmth of a hand on my shoulder and a familiar scent I didn’t think I would ever smell again. I threw my head ba
Kacie I want to bury my head into his chest but I can’t. I can’t bring myself to look away. I continue staring at him as Viktor lays down by his side. He props himself up and stares down at him. The love and sadness in his eyes blend into one. His gaze darts back and forth between the two of us. A sad smile pulling at the corners of his lips. “I love you,” I whisper. “I love you,” Viktor says quietly. We shared stories, we cried, we laughed. I told him about one of the mornings after my Luna Ceremony when I woke up and found Jake naked across from me. He flexed and tried to show off. Viktor chuckled and shared a precious memory from when they first kissed. It was sweet and I wished I could have seen the look in Jake’s eyes if he had heard Viktor tell the story. The next memory Viktor shared with me was the look on Jake’s face when I walked out that first day in Ken’s house. When he smelled me and knew I was his mate, he only trusted Jake to be alone with me. That’s why he let him
Kacie“I have one request,” I said.“Anything my love,” Viktor said.“I don’t want him in the lobby. I want him in our room. Can we do that?” I asked.“We can do whatever we want Kacie,” Viktor answered.In the olden days, it was common for our kind to spend the dead’s last night with them. It was like a ritual, we clean their bodies with a cloth, wash their hair, and clothe them in something loose. After the ritual the body is placed in the living room or the pack lobby if the dead was an alpha. The family would then bring their blankets and pillows to sleep in the front on the couch or the floor. It’s the last night you get with the dead. It’s a form of closure and was done away with one hundred years ago, or at least that’s what Viktor told me. When he told me about it I clung to the knowledge and asked him if we could do it too. He admitted that he mentioned it to gouge my reaction. We looked into each others eyes and knew without a doubt that we needed to do it.It may have been
Kacie “I’ve failed. I failed and lost him,” Viktor said. The weight on his shoulders was large enough to make anyone crumble beneath it. Still, my mate stood firm. My heart broke for the mate we’d lost, but it soared knowing that he was safe. Instead of keeping my thoughts to myself I would make sure he knew. I would make sure he knew every day how much I loved him, how much I needed him in my life. I would make sure he knew how loved he was, but first, he needed to face Jake. He needed to come to grips with it as I have. He needs to make peace with it, so he can move forward. We both needed this. “Come here,” I said. I watched as he mentally drew back, away from me as if he would hurt me. As if he thought he’d lose me too if he touched me. I reached for him, my outstretched hand open in offering for him to take it. He had to take it. Viktor stared at my hand for a moment before his eyes darted to Jake on the ground between us. Desperation clear in his eyes when he looked back at m
Kacie In an attempt to feel whatever warmth Jake had left I pushed my body as close as I could to his. I ignored the unevenness of his body, the difference between it now and what I remembered. Everything in me came flowing out as my hair flowed out all around me. My hands grasped at his muddy shirt and my heart broke for the second time today. Jake’s body was hard and the finality of it pulled the sheet from beneath my feet. I was no longer able to deny the crushing reality. The warmth was seeping out of him as quickly as the clouds had formed above us. Footsteps squelched behind me announcing Viktor’s presence. My pain vibrated in his chest as he stopped behind me. It was enough to pull him away from mourning his sister. The curiosity outweighing the fear led him to me. I could feel his pain as he felt mine. I knew when he saw who lay beneath me because he made an unintelligible sound behind me. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to lift my head. I couldn’t look back at him. I couldn’
KacieI’ll hurt you.I don’t want to hurt you.I don’t want to hurt him. I wouldn’t hurt him. The urge, no, the need to make sure I don’t hurt him runs through my veins as the idea of burning him strikes me hard in the chest. It’s like an ice cold bucket of water and I feel like I’ve jolted awake from a dream. The flames protest against my will as my mind refuses to hurt the man in front of me. For the first time since becoming aware I look at him. My eyes wander over black hair, a sharp jaw, and full lips. Dark tired eyes filled with worry stared down at me. My mate reaches for me a second time and this time I extinguish the flames with the flick of my wrist as realization dawned on me.My mate.He’s okay.He’s alive.If my mate is here than why am I so hurt?My does my heart bleed?I lean in toward him and his hand gently grazes over my cheek, his shoulders relaxed, and relief stared back at me. I was safe. I was in one piece. I had survived. If he hadn’t gotten my attention things
Kacie My father’s breathing is haggard and strained beneath me. At my words he roars angrily. He’s weak, useless below me, unable to get away. When I straighten my back, lift myself up, and stare down at him. I take a moment to look over the expression of fear and regret in his eyes. I don’t bother with emotion because right now, I feel nothing. There’s only a high, a haze of bliss from his acceptance. It’s settled over me as I hover over him. The power of taking what I want, getting the revenge I sent out for. I’m hurting him, torturing him, killing him. I focus on this as he stares up at me. “All of this will do nothing. You may have killed my friends and you may have won the fight between you and I, but there’s one you haven’t and can’t win. You can’t win against death,” Charles chokes. I don’t want to hear anymore. I don’t want to hear the truth drip from his lips like poisoned honey. I won’t let him win and I won’t let his words get to me. I won’t change my mind and I won’t hea
Charles yanked his arm back but I didn’t let go. I did the opposite, I dug my nails in as he pulled, my claws dug into his skin and ripped. Blood pooled and burned, he yanked again this time, ignoring the bite of my nails as they pierced deeper. He wrenched his arm free, or what was left of it. I could feel his skin under my claws, chunks of meat between my fingers, as he cried out in pain. I take a moment to enjoy my work. His once scorched pink skin had turned black, blood ran down his arm and dripped to the floor. Charles turned to glare at me, and for the first time since meeting him, fear stares back at me. He clutched his injured arm and I watch as his Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows nervously. Sweat pools on his temple and slides down his brow. I chuckle at this small victory. He must have thought that I would be an easy kill. The young girl he once knew died a long time ago. Did he think that his words would have weakened me? Did he think that his words would have an affect
KacieNow that I knew Viktor would be okay, I could give in to what I’ve wanted since seeing the devastation the Elders caused. Now that I knew that Clara would have Viktor, I felt the opposite of what I’ve before at the thought of them together alone. I felt relief. She would make sure he was safe. I turned from Clara and focused on that man I once called father.Answering to the call of my growing flames I dashed forward. I promised to give them what they wished soon. The need for blood, for sliced skin, and the smell of burning flesh drove me forward. I would have what I desired, I would have my vengeance, my revenge. My anger fanned the flames and they grew hotter than they ever have before. I screamed out in anguish as I rushed toward the man who should have been the father I deserved. He was nothing but a disappointment.Tears run down my cheeks before they dry up and evaporate. I don’t cry for him or what I’m going to do, no, I’ll revel in my father’s death. The tears continue
