Jane’s POVMy sweet boy blinked up at the giant in front of him. Tears swelled in Owen’s wide blue eyes; he looked as if he were caught in a dream, one that was rapidly becoming a nightmare. In a daze, he lifted his small hand in an attempt to grasp Hunter’s sleeve.Ares raced over and grabbed his brother’s hand before he could touch his dad.Hunter ignored them both. He reached behind Owen and lifted up Ava instead. She cowered against him, tucking herself up as small as she could and hiding her face in his chest. He squeezed her gently and murmured, “Are you going to hide from Daddy forever? Daddy will be very, very sad if you do.” He coaxed the little girl in his arms until she looked up at him, her eyes so like Owen’s that a jolt shot through me.Goddess! I realised then that the gentle patience Hunter showed Amy was just a drop in the ocean compared to that which he gave his daughter. I had never seen such a soft side to Hunter. This child was the apple of his eye.I knew that fe
Carl and I ran frantically to my children, I have never hated Nina so much, why didn't she ever show up again?Even though I was carrying all kinds bottles of poisons, I still couldn't protect my children.This was the street of a human city, werewolves were not allowed to shift in such places. But Carl was also a lot faster than me.Then when I reached the location of their accident, only Rose fell aside to ice cream stall, three children had disappeared, and there were a few drops of blood on the ground.My heart had stopped."Rose!" I ran to Rose's side and quickly checked and found that she was just knocked out.I pulled out my cell phone to call "911" and Carl grabbed it out of my hand, "Don't, the human police won't help us."I was freaking out, "WHY?""Don't worry, Gamma will bring someone to take Rose to the hospital. ""But what about my babies? We need the Cops." I tried to take my phone back."Last year Hunter did not go through the law process, directly killed those who ki
Carl’s POVNothing had ever hurt as much as being rejected by my mate.Although the Moon Goddess had chosen me to be her mate, everyone knew I wasn’t worthy of her. Whenever I looked into her green eyes, so full of power and desire, even I knew I could never measure up to Amy.I’d loved her long before I’d met Hunter. She’d saved me back when I was a rogue with nothing. I was her only real friend; before I met Hunter, she was mine, too.I could still remember every word she’d said to me that fateful day.“Amy! You’re my mate!” I started to rush towards her, my heart pounding. But, as I met her calm gaze, I stopped dead in my tracks. My heart sank.“You know,” she said, eyeing me with some emotion I couldn’t read lurking in the depths of her gaze, “you’re always smiling. Always. Well – except for the first time I met you. But you were being beaten to death, so.” She smiled and shook her head. “I envy you sometimes. It’s not often that I’m happy, Carl, especially not happy enough to gr
Carl’s POVAmy loved Hunter and the power he afforded her.And Hunter loved not having to love anyone. For him, Amy was a strategic choice – a good woman of good breeding, the second daughter of a powerful Alpha, and, most importantly, she wasn’t his mate. He marked her as his own, and I’d never seen my Ames so happy. It had felt like a win.My buddy and my mate were both happy with what they’d got.Hunter didn’t love her. He’d just needed a woman to take the place of his Luna.It didn’t bother Amy to begin with. If he didn’t want his mate, then she could take her place. She got to be his Luna, the mother of his heirs, and those things mattered to her above all else.Then she found out that Hunter was so against losing control that he drugged himself. It wasn’t just the mate bond he hated – it was all of it. He hated love, sex, and anything that could soften him.“I won’t make the same mistakes as my father,” was all he ever said by way of explanation. Amy asked me to push him, to get
Jane’s POVCold water rushed over my head. I kept sinking, gasping desperately for air; ice slammed down on my chest, filling me inside and compressing from out. Flailing wildly, I managed to bring myself up to the surface. My eyelids were so heavy…Two huge wolves were swimming towards me. Nat and Reg. Relief hit me so hard it made me dizzy.Nat reached for me, biting down on my waterlogged shirt to drag me to the surface. Before he could, Reg snapped at his paws and tossed him aside. Nat rolled in the water, the ripples of his movement lapping at my steadily sinking body. I gargled, trying to cry out for help but just swallowing more lake water in the process.I didn’t understand why Reg was torturing me like this.I could still remember what Hunter had said before – that his wolf had made him help me. So why was Reg teasing me now?Dark water closed over my head. I thought of my boys with my dying breath.Then another jaw locked onto my shirt. As it tightened, dragging me upwards, I
Jane’s POV“Ares, Owen, five more minutes. Mommy’s so tired. Your daddy’s going to take you to school this morning, okay? Go and get your daddy!” I pressed kisses to my sons’ foreheads and squeezed my eyes shut tighter, trying to find sleep for another few minutes.“Damn it, Omega, wake up! What are you doing?” an angry voice snarled.I frowned in my sleep. The voice was familiar, but it didn’t belong to either of my boys. Using all of my strength, I opened my bleary eyes. I blinked myself awake slowly, sleepily – only to gasp when I saw where I was. My arms were wrapped around Hunter. His shirt was off; my fingers dug into his pecs and my lipstick was smeared over his nipples. Red marks gouged his tanned skin – red marks made by my hands.My face flushed red. Hell, my whole body was burning with embarrassment as I looked down at him. I tried to push myself off him, but my leg muscles braced and I just slammed my head into a rock.“Ouch,” I hissed, reaching for the wound with trembli
Jane’s POV“No,” I whimpered, my face screwing up as I battled the twin flames of arousal and pain singeing my nipples, “stop.”I was hyper aware of his body against mine, of every breath he took that pushed his chest against my bare breasts. He laved his tongue over my nipples, taking one into his mouth at a time and tweaking the other between his fingertips. He pinched it. Hard.“Too late,” he growled, sliding his hands down my arms to encircle my wrists. He held them above my head, stopping me from pushing weakly at him.“What are you thinking, Hunter?” My voice came out breathless but determined. “Our kids are here!” This stupid place was too cramped for me to be able to escape him, and with every second that passed with his dick pressed against me I was losing the ability to think clearly. Every inch of me wanted him…He peppered kisses down my neck, trailing along towards my ear. He nibbled gently at my earlobe and murmured huskily, “Don’t worry, they’re asleep and it’s dark in
Jane's POVI froze.I couldn’t believe what I’d done. Shit! . How could I have had sex with Hunter ? And my kids were right next to me? Eyes widening as my brain finally started to work, I gasped, “God,” and roughly yanked Hunter’s dick out of me.The second our bodies parted, mine began to protest. Spasms wracked through me; my breaths came in short, breathy pants. The mate bond screamed at me to slide his dick back inside. Our orgasms had been interrupted, and I knew that Hunter had to be even more irritable than I was.I started fumbling around for the clothes I couldn’t remember taking off.“Ah,” Hunter mumbled, “what the fu–”I slapped my hand over his mouth. “Don’t say the f-word in front of my baby!”“Don’t touch a guy’s body, then! Especially not when he’s been forced to stop half way!” His voice dripped with barely repressed anger. I shivered.He shoved my hand away and reached for his phone. He clicked the flashlight on; the sudden bright light burnt my retinas, but as m
