Lexi's pov'sFeeling chilly I reached out for the covers and opened my eyes a bit to see that I was alone in bed.Wondering where Nathan had gone I sat up “Vukas is telling me that Nathan is arguing with Nolan about you both marking each other without him being present,” Nova growled.“You can communicate with his Lycan now?”Nova laughed at me and said, “Of course dear, you are both marked mates.”“So if Nolan gets my mark you would be able to speak with Mace,” I inquired and she told me yes.Furrowing my brow my ears perked hearing my door open and slam shut.Peeking out from the covers I watched Stanley stomping toward my bed.“Wake up harlot and go deal with your brother lovers before they take off each other's heads,” he growled forcefully.Whipping the covers off myself I stormed to the bathroom and put on the clothes I had removed the previous night.“Take me to where they are fighting,” I demanded, ignoring the rude comment he had made.He opened my door and pointed across th
Nathan's povWe were both bloody and beaten after throttling each other.After wearing ourselves out we sat wheezing on the floor.“Do you feel better bro? Because I sure as shit don't,” Nolan muttered and spit a bloody spot on our carpet.“Clean that up,” I growled sourly and glanced over where Lexi got sucker punched and frowned “I'm still pissed that you hurt her,” I snapped.“It was meant for you! I would never have intentionally struck Lexi,” he asserted.I knew he was being truthful so I nodded then winced. My brother had a mean uppercut.“You should go check and see if she's alright,” he sighed and I stood up and told him I would.Hearing the wind blowing and rain pelting the roof I frowned as I headed into Lexi's room.“Lexi, where are you?”Calling out her name I checked the bathroom and her closet. Not finding her I was ready to head down to the opposite side and check the vacant rooms there.“Her wolf Nova is telling me that Stanley has taken her and she is unsure of wher
Lexi's povSoaked and sitting by the fire I shivered wondering if either of my mates was trying to find me. I refused to even glance at Stanley, I didn't want him to think that I cared at all about him.Neither did I want to encourage his obsession with me, I thought bitterly but needed to find out more about his plans.Stanley stuffed another log onto the fire and I could see that he had this whole kidnapping planned.There was a large stack of dry cut-up logs set nicely beside the fireplace.“When did you find this place,” I asked curiously.Side-eyeing me, his lip curled.“If I tell you that then you will think of me as a horrible, dishonest individual,” he replied cryptically.Furrowing my brow I huffed, “I can't think any less of you so you might as well spill it!”Running his fingers through his wet locks he inhaled sharply and looked hard at me.“That family in our old pack were not my real parents. I was taken as a young pup by them to get back at my real father who was an im
Lexi's povPutting my connected hands between us I pushed Stanley back.Looking at him with sadness I shook my head.“Don't do this, please. I felt his dominance filling the enclosed area and stepped back.“I will run,” I warned.He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“Just wait until I turn eighteen tomorrow, okay? If I know for certain that you are not my mate I will take you back,” he stated sincerely.Breathing erratically I searched for the truth in his eyes.“Alright, I will wait but you have to stop taking liberties with me. I am not your plaything,” I growled.“Duly noted, come, the water is warmed for your sponge bath,” he said chipperly and I eyed him cautiously.“You flip-flop like a fish, Stanley. Are you sure that you are mentally well,” I asked him bluntly and he chuckled.I grinned slightly and noticed that his wet hair looked black and had visible auburn highlights.“I thought you had black hair?”He glanced over at me and grabbed his bag before hurrying to the bathroom
Lexi’s povThe strange alpha had taken back roads, and mountain passes searching for a group of rogue wolves that had some infant named Rain.Bound yet again I could only use my legs against the floorboards to situate myself. Scooting up in the backseat I glanced out of the window to see where we were. Ryken was driving down the highway toward a cluster of gas stations and a dreary hotel for humans that were illuminating the night.“I need you to get us a room for the night,” The Alpha grunted to his brother.“Why are we staying in the area? Those two brothers will find her, “ Stanley asserted.Ryken scowled and stated, “I'm not leaving here until I find my little girl!”Looking between them from the back seat I felt bad for him because in all likelihood his pup was already gone.“After you get the room, carry her into it and stay the night. I have to go to a few more places to check if my pup is there. I will return in the morning,” Ryken muttered and handed Stanley a payment card.
Lexi’s povThe scratches felt like lava burning into my flesh and I put my hand over the painful gashes and cursed.“Give me a taste, bitch,” the bastard hissed.“Heal me wolf,” I mentally coaxed Nova as my eyes searched for an escape route.Licking his black talon he grinned at me under his hooded eyes.“You're carrying a wee one, those are the most delicious,” he chirped then added, “Just finished one recently. It was delivered right outside of my cave. A tiny female pup who gave me a wonderful high when draining her precious life.”“You're chatting sucks, sir,” I muttered sourly.I examined the progress Nova was making on the injuries the bloodsucker had done.Seeing the puckered skin healing I narrowed my eyes at the vampire.“I have bad manners and like to toy with my food,” he laughed open-mouthed exposing his huge fangs.Panicked, I could hear cars and stepped back toward the sound. The bloodsucker was toying with me and just as I was about to dash toward the highway a wolf br
Lexi’s povI was surprised when Nolan invited Ryken in for the night. It was late so it wasn't unreasonable, Nova told me.Nodding, I covered my bare chest with my arms and looked up hearing Lily gasping after rushing out of the front door and heading to me and the boys.With her hand covering her eyes and scolding us for not being properly attired Lily handed us each a robe.“I'm happy that you're back, Miss. You had us all very worried, especially in your condition,” she said softly to me.“Thanks, Lily,” I told her with a grin.After putting on a robe Nolan escorted Ryken and Nathan stuck by my side.“Did Stanley tell you if you're his mate,” he questioned me while ushering me up the stairs.Lily shouted up at us to get to bed since we had school in the morning. Groaning since I hadn't gotten back to the Alpha regarding testing out of my classes my shoulders slumped.“Did he?!” Nathan inquired sternly.Eyeing the persistent man, I shook my head.“His last words before I thought he
Lexi’s povWatching Reese stand and shuffle her feet awkwardly I cocked my brow.“How are you not going to get caught skipping? I can't imagine you running very well,” I commented.Pffting me she shook her brunette curly hair-covered head.“Nobody pays attention to us breeders. Well except perhaps you since you have two mates that are the Alpha's sons,” she said condescendingly.Giving her a stoic glare I followed her at a slow pace down the stairs within the school. She was right, the faculty glanced at us but continued on their way ignoring us.“Why do we get these freedoms,” I asked her.“Because increasing the pack is considered a valiant and noble cause,” Reese giggled. I nodded and smiled at her.“So is your mate at school,” I asked her to see if she'd open up.Grinning slightly she shook her head.“My mate is in his twenties and is a gamma for the alpha. Right now he is on his route checking the boundaries so no one comes onto the pack lands,’’ Reese explained and it was evide
