GrantI was about to part her legs carefully when Stormy took control of my body. He splayed her legs open and stared at her relaxed face through my glowing eyes before nuzzling down her jaw.He drifted my tongue along her throat, settling on the crook of her neck and sniffing it deeply as if he wanted to inhale all her delicious scent and keep it forever in our lungs. That wasn’t a bad idea, and I too wanted to breathe her all the time.Amidst her briskly shuddering, she giggled, “Stop! It’s tickling, it’s torture, Grant.” She tried to pull my body away, but Stormy didn’t relent. He only replaced my tongue with my teeth, grazing at her skin and sucking at it.My vision fogged with the red hue of an instinctive reflex. I had to make her mine, but I couldn’t. Fuck. If I felt like this, it meant that Stormy’s control was dangling by a thin threat. Blinded by the overwhelming call of nature and desire, he was about to mark her without consent.We could never do that to her, violating her
Angeline“What’s the matter? Did something happen?” I asked, looking at the sour-faced Beta. I hoped the people from this pack were okay.“What’s wrong, Dexter?” Grant questioned, squeezing my hand in his.“The pack folk are restless, not satisfied with the fact that the newly appointed Alpha left after Demons managed to invade our lands and hurt one of our own.”A lump of guilt formed in my throat. Damn! Grant shouldn’t have left to help me, his pack needed him.“We will reassure them and deal with the demons. They won’t be a threat any longer. The king will soon know about it and help us eliminate them.” Grant’s voice was pure determination.I wish he was right, but something didn’t add up now that I was stopping to think about it. What did Elijah have up his sleeve?Didn’t Elijah think we wouldn’t inform the king about his attack? Didn’t he fear the Alpha King? Was it some kind of ego trip like some men like Aaron went on or was Elijah so powerful that the King was no match to him?
Stormy“How did my brunette hottie not know she had those gorgeous eyes?” I asked Grant, even though I knew he was clueless. He wasn’t as street smart as me. Truth be told, my human was a little nerd-ish, the artist kind and didn’t have the wild edge Daddy-O here swings on. Greatness isn’t for everyone. But he is lucky, he has gotten me. “It’s her first time shifting, so it’s only natural,” Grant replied. I knew it. He was clueless. I couldn’t take my eyes off the furry beauty in front of me. Circling her in my own kind of courtship dance, which included lots of hip and tail swings, I gave her a once over. Nice tail, girl. Since I knew that my brunette beauty could be a little wild and skittish, I took a step away, trying not to overcrowd her space. After all, I was a gentleman — a gentlewolf, which is much better.Shaking it up, she shook her luscious fur. I licked my lips like the big bad wolf I am, thinking about all I wanted to do to her. That girl was sexy without even trying.
GrantI woke up to the first lights of the dawn, in my form, with Angeline huddled up in my arms. My eyes darted from her face, nested against my chest, to her gorgeous long legs. She was beautiful, dazzling like a piece of art bathed by the morning light filtered by the trees. I wanted to learn every inch, each single detail of her so that I could draw her as soon as I could get a piece of paper and pencil.She stirred in her sleep, opening her eyes slowly. “Are you staring at me?” she asked with a yawn, a playful smile forming on her lips.I flashed her a grin. “Definitely, that’s what I do all night, every night.”My words had her sleepy eyes snapping open as she pushed at my chest, trying to leave my embrace. I only chuckled, wrapping my arms around her and bringing her once again close. I didn’t want a single inch between us.“As much as you are beautiful and I love looking at you, I am joking.”She huffed under her breath. “Good, cause that would be beyond awkward.”She shook he
AngelineAs the fucking world broke down around me I couldn’t stop laughing like a maniac. The Damn universe, Gods and whatever must be kidding me! And they were not funny.“Did that girl just say she is pregnant with Grant and Stormy’s pup?” A startled bark left Cal. I focused on her with great effort, and saw her shaking her body, and wide eyes.As soon I could form a half-coherent thought, I reared back, putting some distance between Grant and myself.Sobbing another round of chuckles, I heard Cal ask Dora, the sound distant as if my head was under water. “Is that true? Didn&r
AngelineI looked down the road ahead, and released a deep exhale. The night was already falling and soon I would have to stop and take a break. My legs were killing me and my dear and very helpful golden wolf refused to lend me some of her magical stamina. “She too had a petty side. It’s not only golden perfection there!” Cal barked, and I shook my head. It was okay to be on bad terms with the world, and even with Grant. But I didn’t like being on bad terms with one of my wolves. I loved those two furry opposites. Pulling a green branch aside, I opened my way through the narrow path within the forest. That was the fastest route to Aaron’s pack. I’ve studied the little map in my hand many times and although I wasn’t a tracker, I wasn’t bad at it and probably wouldn’t get lost. At least not physically, only emotionally. Looking at my fully packed bag, I smiled thinking about all the things Stine gave me. She didn’t let me leave the pack without filling my pockets with money, runes,
Angeline His warm eyes met mine, and my heart stammered as I looked intently at him, without allowing myself to blink, too afraid that if I did so, my dad would disappear and be dead once again. With my eyes wide open like two anchors, I gazed at his soft smile and loving face. “Did you ever think I would leave you, my angel?” he asked, stretching his arm out and offering me his hand. Hearing his voice almost made me cry like a child. I shook my body, trying to get rid of the overwhelming feeling of confusion. How was that possible? Was I dead again? Was it a dream or the next level of insanity? You know what? It doesn’t matter, my dad was here. Jumping to my feet, I took his hand in mine and shove myself into his open arms. He was the only person I had, the single safe haven amidst the chaos, until he died and left me exposed to all the terrors and disasters the world could dump on me. And we all know the world didn’t spare a single trouble, throwing it all on my head like in
A few hours earlier:GrantI looked out of the window of my office as Angeline quickly strode towards the pack borders, only able to see her due to my wolf’s vision. As soon as I heard she was heading to the pack limits, I interrupted my uncomfortable talk with Gina and came here, dying to look at Angeline — at my Lily — one more time. Seeing her walk away laced my chest with a pain that fastly spread across my system, causing a whimper to vibrate in my throat. My great love. My great loss. Soon, not even my vision could make out/discern more than a silhouette quickly swallowed by the distance. Fuck! I hit my forehead against the glass of the window, chastising myself. She was leaving. My muscles tensed even further as I controlled myself not to run after her and ask her to stay as many times as it took to convince her. No. I had to give her space. After my greatest mistake, I didn’t have the right to insist that she listen to me. “It doesn’t matter! Go after her. We can’t let m
Angeline“Angeline,” Dora’s voice had me turning around, and I looked at her in my mind. It was different from when I heard or saw her in our shared mind. I was here with her, only a few steps away.
Angeline“If you want, it would make me very happy to lead this pack by your side. You make me a better man, and a better Alpha Angeline,” he said in my mind, sending the tender dash of his love through our bond.
AngelineI buried my face in the column of Grant’s neck, letting his embrace wash me over with comfort. My nerves are strained, and I have been a little fidgety since I woke up. Maybe everything that happened, the battle, the changes and the bond were catching up with me.
GrantI entered the small white room, closing the door behind me. Gina was curled on her bed, the bags under her eyes and the paleness of her face showing how worn-out she was.
GrantWe arrived at our pack late in the night, heading straight to our room, where I got to sleep with my mate in my embrace. I placed a kiss on Angeline’s head, and she snuggled further into my embrace, a blissful smile stretching across her lips.
AngelineGrant’s canines sank on me, and the time stopped. The moon mark on my belly pulsated like a second heart. Soft blue light enveloped me, filling me with calmness, strength, peace and an ounce of guilt. His love for me pulsated like a warm blanket covering my body and tucking at my chest.
GrantAngeline and I proceeded to check the ruined car. Surveying its surroundings, she found a few pieces of torn clothes.“I can’t find my phone, but it’s not that important. I can always count on Dora’s super-reaching mind-link abilities.” She shrugged her shoulders.Fortunately, the two elite guards who escorted us here weren’t dead, only harmed to the extent of unconsciousness. The king’s army transported them to the Royal Pack where they could receive immediate treatment. They would be fine.I hauled another sign of relief. Losing lives lives of my pack was a fucking bane, a burden I would never bear with ease. And I shouldn’t. Their lives matter and always will.After gazing around the half-burnt trees of the empty meadow, Angeline joined me, melting into my embrace.We were finally alone. The King left after Angeline and I told him about Elijah’s first attack and how Alpha Blake played a role in Angeline's kidnap.“I thought he would be royally enraged, we didn't tell him ever
AngelineSia’s death replayed in Cal’s and our shared mine.“Angel, I think this is dark magic! We will die. I love you, and I am so sorry I wasn’t a good enough wolf to you. I am sorry I couldn’t protect you!” her last words were a distant echo, and so was the icy pain spreading through my soul as I wasn’t able to reply to her. She was already gone. I could never tell her that she was enough and I loved her too.I was so empty without my Sia, my soul unable to reach hers.More words ricocheted in my mind, from the moment I first met Dora, but refused to let go of my first wolf. “Sia is gone. She sacrificed herself in an attempt to save you. Her soul shielded yours, and consequently, she took the hardest hit of Elijah’s dark magic.”Sia sacrificed herself for me!“And I will do it as many times as it takes!” Cal growled, lunging on Elijah.“No!” I screamed in my mind, I couldn’t lose my Cal-Sia again. They were the same wolf, even though they seemed like polar opposites, they always d
AngelineI had to spill it out! After taking a long and deep breath, I started, “Grant, I’m not your friend. We can’t be friends—”He interrupted me with a low growl. “Sorry, I couldn’t control the growl. I know I’m imposing Angeline. I have no right over you and I shouldn’t be here when you told me not to. After we talk to the king, I will be out of your life.” He didn’t do a good job concealing the sorrow in his voice.“No!”Grant’s head reared back, forehead creasing at my protest as he threw me a confused look.I slurred, “I mean … that’s not what I want. I can’t be your friend because it’s too little and I want so much more. I want everything. I-it will be hella hard to look at what I can’t have every day, but I want to support you with your pup, be part of it with you. I want us to have-be a family in the way we can. I love you and in the end I can’t even imagine a life without you. It might be complicated and hard. You probably don’t want that and I’m just here rambling like an
