April Ripping the shirt from me, I push down the urge to cry because of all the embarrassment and the pain. My muscles scream at me as I bend my sore body to hide the ball of soft fabric in one of my bags, pushing it all the way down to the bottom of it. I sigh, caressing a strand of hair behind my ear, before I walk into the en-suite bathroom to shower and change my clothes. I swallow a sob as the warm water hits my skin, and I start to move slowly to wash away his scent. Even if I hate myself for it, I mourn the feeling of him still lingering on my skin that I am scrubbing off me. Inhaling deeply, I wash off the soap only to apply it everywhere again, going insane as I think that I can still smell him on me. As I don’t want to lose too much time, I hop out of the shower after another round of soaping and dress myself. I only dry my hair with a towel as well as I can, and tie my still-wet hair into a messy high bun before barging back out. Hurrying to the office space tha
April “Vitamins!” I blurt out, getting him to look at me with squinted eyes. “I was just about to mix everyone a dose as I saw you.” “Weren’t you about to call Noah?” He sighs, leaning back in the chair I let him slump in. “And what is this smell?” “Yeah, I mean after that!” I lie, clearing my throat which risks cutting my air because of a panic attack. “Now let me bring you a glass of water first.” I hurry out of the room and into the kitchen as he shouts after me. “What’s with the vitamins?” “Give me a moment,” I shout back, filling a glass with lukewarm water. “I need to mix them. But I also need to call Alpha Noah,” I explain as I’m already approaching the sitting room again. As I return to Beta Daniel, he is already sitting upright, looking healthier as color has returned to his face. “Oh, hello.” “Hello,” he smiles at me, but his happy expression falls as he spots the clothes I’m wearing. I ignore his roaming gaze, scurrying to put the glass down on the couch table in fr
April “Amber?” I get onto her bed, checking her and the other nurses just like I did with Daisy, and am horrified to find them having the same symptoms. Checking the other rooms, I find Beta Daniel and all the other warriors sleeping too, and after what happened last night, I’m panicking. I take a deep breath, collecting my thoughts with a racing heart as I stand in the hallway of our quarters. Rubbing my hands, I free them from the cold creeping onto me, and push myself to walk back into our guest room where Daisy is lying. I open my bag, take out a small blood collection tube, and sit onto the side of the bed. Daisy is still lying there unmoved, but at least, it seems like she is breathing better, her pattern looking healthier. “Sorry, babes,” I whisper, piercing her skin with the needle to insert it into her vein and draw her blood. “Just a few drops.” My heart races, my fear of being attacked by the pack members of my old pack rising every second more, but I keep b
Asher The lights flicker around me while I keep my eyes on the scantily-clad dancers. The she-wolves move through my men, who keep chanting, cheering and drinking as if we won something. Rage bubbles up in me as I watch them, and I push down the urge to lash out and kill them all.At least the ones that are still left. After the attack on Alpha Walker’s pack, the rogues we had sent out came back only to count losses. Useless bastards. I move my cup in circles, annoyed, observing the liquid swirl as I stare at it, losing myself in my own thoughts. All my plans had worked out perfectly in the beginning. We managed to weaken Alpha Scott by separating him from his mate, and as soon as we got her from the pack grounds, we noticed the effects immediately, so we were able to land a few attacks. We even injured the former Alpha, and our insiders in the pack informed us about how we were able to do a lot of damage in the pack, also because we killed and injured a lot of important membe
April It takes me forever to reach the quarters that I am sharing with my pack members. My heart rate spikes as I glide through the door and close it behind my back to lean against it. I let the cold stream through Scott’s shirt and seep into my skin as I catch my breath. My eyes roam the room, and I listen carefully to predict any movement before I can bolt to my room. It is still silent, and I thank the Moon Goddess for having sent everyone to breakfast already. I find it strange that there is no one awake at all as there is always someone scurrying around. Especially the warriors, who are used to getting up early to train or pretend to go on a walk to keep an eye on Alpha Scott’s pack members threatening me. Ugh. I shudder, facepalming myself as his picture flashes up in front of my inner eye and I take a deep breath. What the fuck even happened? How did I land in his quarters and then in his bed? Touching my chin, I ponder over how this could have happened. How d
AprilBy the moment I open my eyes, I feel like screaming.My body is revolting against me, my muscles contracting painfully at every move I want to take.And this feeling.This amazing feeling pulsates between my legs, causing a wonderful sensation to stream through me. My heart twists in my chest as I stretch.Maybe the fever got so high that I passed out and am feeling sick now? I should call for Amber or call for an Omega to take a step in the direction of Alpha Scott to prevent more embarrassing Alpha tantrums.I sigh, forcing my eyes open, and I move my head to the side, blinking against the open window.
