Jake
Was she watching how they fought?
Would she say anything about their fighting style?
Was she looking for weaknesses?
Were they really here to help us?
My wolf, Jason, mentally shook his head. He didn’t care for the witches either but he’d been more focused on my mentality. As if I were stressed and close to the brink of no return. I had something to protect, I had people in my life that I wanted to keep safe.
Jason suggested we let the witches spar with the warriors. I was tempted by the idea of seeing them on the field. Our warriors would be able to learn how they fight.
It would have made things a lot more interesting. Shit, it would have made my day better but I wasn’t about t
JakeDon’t even.What?Don’t do that.Do what?Don’t try and play innocent with me.I don’t know what you’re talking about.Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Alpha.Viktor.What?Viktor.I know your name.So why not use it?Why can’t I call you Alpha?No one said you can’t call me Alpha.Why do I have to ca
JakeThe whimper that left my throat was nothing short of sexual. The rebellious part of me that had brought us to this point had tucked tail and left town. I loved when he called me his. Maybe I was starved, maybe deep down I was an attention-seeking whore but I needed confirmation sometimes. I loved it when he praised me and I needed to hear it. It soothed something inside of me I didn’t know needed it.“No one can take that away from you. No one can take you away from me. We have something beautiful right now. You, me, and Kacie. Don’t let your negative thoughts about someone who actually didn’t have a chance come in between what we have.”Captured, I couldn’t move, I was lost in his black obsidian eyes. Remembering myself, I nodded. His grip on my throat loosened and I found my balance before his hand dropped. He was right.We do have something amaz
JakeWho else besides an Alpha’s Luna could poke and prod him without losing his life? It was a thrill I didn’t always admit I liked. I was a worrier and I knew it was the part of me that was insane that whispered negative things but I couldn’t help it. It was hard to ignore them when they only grew louder.Viktor was good at extinguishing all of my fears. He demanded my attention and right now he held all of it. In the past and the present, he’d been good at this. I’d always been able to come to him and get that mental break but things were different now, or they had been. He could always tell when something was upsetting me and he’d been able to help me unload.In the past, the moments we’d had together were rough and anything but gentle. Once upon a time, he’d tied me up and brought me to the edge only to deny me time and time again. It wasn’t until I begg
Jake“I know,” I murmured.“Do you?” Viktor asked. He had an amused look on his face. He just wanted to hear me say the words. At this point, I didn’t care if I had to admit that he was right.“Yes, I’m wrong. I know my thoughts have a tendency to be negative when I think about our relationship,” I said.“So… I’m right?” Viktor asked seductively.“Yes, you’re right,” I breathed.A small smile spread across his delectable features. I didn’t even care that I was giving him what he wanted or giving him the satisfaction I normally would fight him over. It was worth it to see a genuine smile for the man I’ve loved for years.I sat naked on the ground, the grass was moist against my legs, and the wind tossed my hair as it
JakeHolding 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
