Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 18 - Dominic
When I opened my eyes the first thing that I felt was the dull pain throbbing in my head, followed by the feeling of cold tiles underneath my cheek. This was the reason I didn’t drink heavily often, it always ended badly for me. Still, falling asleep on the bathroom floor next to a pile of my own vomit wasn’t the worst thing that had happened to me after a night of heavy drinking. It took me a few minutes to pull myself together and drag myself off the floor so that I could determine the extent of the damage I had done to myself. The only problem was that moving around made every single part of my body ache, even my skin felt sore. “I am never fucking drinking again.” I groaned as I stepped through into the bedroom. “That is probably for the best. You were such a mess last night, at one point I was really worried about you.” Franklin replied.“I did drink a lot, but I can take it.” Well sort of. Although the splitting headache and vomit breath begged to differ. “I didn’t mean like

It had been a while since the last time I had woken up in the forest with blood in my mouth but it was something that I was starting to get painfully used to. That didn’t mean that it was getting any easier, every time I woke up in this position I was worried that this was the time that my wolf had done something unforgivable. I would worry until my wolf calmed down enough for our connection to stabilise and my memories of the previous night started to come back to me. Today was no different. I remembered Brianna pleasuring me but after that things got a little fuzzy. I know that my wolf really wanted me to mark Brianna, I just hoped that he hadn’t done anything to hurt her while he had full control over my body. My wolf growled at my silent accusation. He was still a little feral after last night but I was able to read some of the intention behind his growl. He was angry that I was accusing him of doing something to hurt our future mate.That was a good sign at least, when he took

Rowan didn’t let me go back to my room until a couple of hours after dawn, and even then he made sure to post a couple of guards outside my room. He told me that it was for my own protection but I could see the suspicion in his eyes when he spoke to me. Maybe I should have joined Kaiden for some of those poker games he liked so much. Then I might have learned to lie a little better and Rowan wouldn’t have been able to see straight through me.‘Bullshit.’ My wolf interjected.She was still pissed off with me for almost letting Mason mark us. She was acting as though the whole situation was my fault, as though she hadn’t enjoyed what he was doing just as much as I was. She was a damn hypocrite.“This is getting us nowhere.” I mumbled to myself.It was probably the lack of sleep but I was having trouble focusing on one thing at a time. Right now I needed to focus on finding a way out of this pack before Mason had a chance to finish what he tried to start last night. I had paced the floor

The dull ache in my chest had slowly been getting worse, I knew it was because of the rejection but that didn’t make me feel any better. Brianna had looked as though she was doing okay when I left her but as an alpha I wouldn’t expect her to let others see her pain. It would make her look weak.Hopefully she wouldn’t hold the rejection or the pain against me and we can still be together after this. If I could have gotten away without actually saying the words I would have, but alpha Dalton had to send that stupid omega with me to report back to him. I had no choice other than to do what I did, she had to understand that.“Will you stop fidgeting, you are driving me crazy.” Franklin took another sip of his coffee. He was just as nervous as I was but his way of detailing with it was to complain whereas I preferred to keep moving. Although I had to admit that complaining had some benefits too. “I just can’t believe that for the second time in two days, we are waiting for alpha Dalton t

Alpha Kennedy kept me waiting for his arrival, just as I knew he would. He thought of himself as more important than a normal alpha, he wanted everybody to do things on his terms and to his timescales. That was fine by me, it made him predictable and easy to manipulate, something I intended to take advantage of today. I was seated at a table in the middle of the cafe with Rowan and my gamma, Pierre. Many of my top warriors were seated at tables around the room, providing safety in case alpha Kennedy wanted to try anything stupid. I didn’t think that he would in the presence of humans but the evidence I had against him was pretty damning, and people tend to lash out when they feel trapped. Many of my warriors had opted to order lunch while we were waiting but I couldn’t afford the distraction and opted just to have a coffee instead. In hindsight that probably wasn’t one of my better decisions, after quickly draining my second cup I was already starting to get jittery and alpha Kenned

I couldn’t tell how many of them were down there but it sounded as though there were a lot of them. They crashed through the front door and started making their way through the house like a pack of rabid dogs, screaming and shouting as they moved from room to room.“What are we going to do?” I whispered, my eyes darting around the room for a place to hide and coming back with nothing. “We have to hide, there is no way that we can fight our way out of this pack.” Franklin replied, looking just as panicked as I did. He opened a window then took hold of my hand and led me out of the room. He ran to the end of the hallways before jumping up to pull on a string that I hadn't even noticed was there. It was difficult to spot and that was what Franklin was counting on, he was hoping that the werewolves would assume that we had fled through the open window rather than hidden in the attic. It was a long shot but what other choice did we have right now? Franklin gave me a boost into the atti

I was sitting in the kitchen, nursing a cup of camomile tea in the hopes that it would calm some of my nerves. It wasn’t freaking working though. What I really needed was to know if Mason and Dominic were safe but nobody in this stupid pack would tell me what was going on. Most of the strongest pack members had left with Mason and none of them had come back yet. It would probably be so easy for me to escape at the moment, so how come that was the last thing that I wanted to do. The only thing I wanted was to hold Dominic and Mason in my arms so that I could know they were both safe. It made no sense for me to care about either of them in this way. One of them had rejected me and the other one wanted to claim me regardless of my own views on the subject. Yet somehow both of them had crawled into my heart and were refusing to leave. It was as confusing as hell and even my wolf couldn’t deny it after last night. Why did I have to come to this realisation when neither of them were anyw

Brianna went to bed shortly after ten but the rest of us stayed in my office to discuss the problem. I knew that Rowan and Pierre weren’t convinced that we should waste our time trying to save Dominic and Franklin. They didn’t say anything but I could tell that they thought it was pointless, that alpha Kennedy would have killed them long before we got there. They were probably right but I had to try, otherwise the guilt would eat at me. It was me that had sent them into that pack and deep down I knew that the plan was flawed. I had rushed into it because I wanted to get him away from my future mate before they could develop feelings for each other. I shouldn’t have done that and now his potential death was on my shoulders and I wasn’t sure that I could live with that kind of guilt. We had spent the last three hours looking at maps of alpha Kennedy’s territory, looking for any kind of weakness and coming back with the same answer. The problem wasn’t getting into the pack, that was go

Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 38 - Mason
When I had originally planned this date it was meant to be for Brianna and me alone, as a way to get to know her better away from the prying eyes of our pack. Of course, I had planned this days ago, before I knew that she was going to meet her fated mate, or that I would end up being her second chance mate.I had planned to take her out to a few different places, each one being slightly more intimate than the last, before hopefully ending with us in bed together. There was no reason that part should have to change though, just because there were three of us now didn’t mean that we couldn’t all end the night in bed together, making each other come and marking each other.I hadn’t anticipated how much I was going to enjoy my mate being intimate with another man. When I first realised that she was mine as well as Dominic’s there was a slight slither of worry that I might get jealous when he touched her. But as the bond grew stronger between us I realised that it didn’t bother me, and now
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 37 - Brianna
I could feel the anger bubbling up inside of me despite the effort that both Dominic and Mason were putting into calming me down. As Dominic’s mother laid out my father’s crimes there was no more denying the kind of man that he was. It made me angry to think of all the people that he has hurt, but it wasn’t just him that I was angry with. I was also angry with myself for not noticing all the problems with our pack sooner and doing something to stop him.“I think that is enough for now. I can process the evidence and send it over to the council later today.” Rowan suggested.He tried not to look in my direction but the way he glanced at Mason made it clear that he didn’t trust me not to lose my temper at Dominic’s mother. I could understand his concern after everything he had heard about my family but it only made me feel worse. I wasn’t a monster like my father, and I didn’t like the idea of anyone thinking I was.“It’s fine. I’m angry at my father’s actions but I am not going to do an
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 36 - Dominic
It was a little uncomfortable for me to watch Mason and Brianna being so intimate over breakfast even though I understood why he was doing it. He wanted to show his pack that Brianna was his mate and that nothing was going to come between them, but that didn’t make it any easier for me to be on the outside of everything.Brianna and Mason had finished their breakfast and they, along with Rowan, were getting ready to have a meeting to discuss what to do about Alpha Kennedy. Brianna looked down at where I was sitting beside her, she was waiting for me to make some move to indicate that I would be joining them but when I didn’t do so she started to look worried.“Aren’t you coming with us?” She asked, the sadness in her eyes making me feel guilty for not giving in to her wishes.Going with her would have only made me feel better momentarily however, there was a good chance that if I went with them then it would just be a continuation of what had happened over breakfast. I wasn’t sure how
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 35 - Brianna
Trusting Mason to handle my father was difficult for me, but if this thing between us was ever going to work then I needed to trust him, so that is what I did. By the time my father stormed out of the room, it felt as though my trust in Mason had been rewarded because somehow he had managed to get his way without it turning into an argument. That was something I had never managed to achieve before.Not once in my whole life had my father allowed me to get my own way or win a fight. When I was growing up I assumed that this was how all of his interactions with other alphas went, but after seeing the way Mason was able to handle him I wasn’t so sure. I had seen Mason beat my father on a couple of different occasions which led me to believe that either my father was losing his edge or he wasn’t the man he always made out to be.“I’m sorry about that, my love. I was struggling not to lose my temper with him as it was, I wouldn’t have stood a chance if he had kept mocking you.” Mason expla
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 34 - Mason
Leaving Dominic alone with our mate didn’t sit well with me but it wasn’t as though I had any other choice. It wouldn’t exactly be fair to leave Rowan to deal with repercussions of Brianna’s prison break. It would be even worse considering that it was Brianna’s father who had turned out at our pack shortly after dawn, and he was threatening to report us to the council for misconduct.After Rowan mind linked me to let me know that alpha Kennedy had arrived I dressed quickly before heading downstairs to meet him. He was on my front doorstep with his beta and a couple of his warriors standing behind him, shouting loudly in my beta’s face.“Alpha Kennedy, to what do I owe this pleasure?” I asked as I casually walked up behind my beta.“I have evidence of your interference in my pack’s business.” Alpha Kennedy growled. He was clearly lying because it would be difficult to have evidence of something I didn’t do, but I couldn’t dismiss him without first having a discussion about it. I wasn’t
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 33 - Dominic
We had all been far too tired to argue about sleeping arrangements last night. If we weren’t then maybe I wouldn’t have ended up in bed with Brianna and Mason, so I guess I should be thankful for our exhaustion. After falling asleep with my arm around my mate I had the best night’s sleep I have had for a very long time. I hardly even noticed Mason laying on the other side of her with his arm around her waist and his face pressed against her neck.I woke up shortly after the sun came up but I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the comfort of this bed. After spending the evening holding onto Brianna our bond was stronger now and I could feel contentment inside of me that I didn’t think was coming from me.“For fuck’s sake,” Mason mumbled before carefully slipping out of bed and starting to pull his trousers on. I lifted my head to see what was happening, being very careful not to wake Brianna in the process.“Go back to sleep, I just have to attend some stupid meeting.”He finished get
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 32 - Mason
Standing by and saying nothing as Brianna wrapped her arms around Dominic was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My wolf and every cell in my body screamed at me to run over there and pull the two of them away from each other. But I knew I couldn’t do that.If I did then I would probably only succeed in pushing them together in the long run. So, instead I clenched my hands into firsts at my side and watched on helplessly as Dominic rescinded his rejection and held Brianna tightly in his arms.It hurt even more seeing them together because I had felt as though something was developing between the two of us, but now all of that was quickly forgotten just because he said a few easy words. I hated how it seemed so easy for her to cast me aside for the man who had rejected her.My wolf whimpered in pain, he knew that Brianna was probably our last chance of claiming a mate. To see her slipping through his claws when he was still too weak to do anything about it was more than he could b
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 31 - Brianna
“I’m not going anywhere with you,” I growled, planting my feet in place and placing my hands on my hips.“Don’t be a brat Brianna. What are you going to do, fight us? We have guns and you don’t” One of my father’s top guards said, stepping forward so that I could get a good look at the gun in his hand. He had a smug look on his face that I was going to take great pleasure in removing.His threat only worked if I believed that he would be willing to kill me with the gun that he was holding, but I knew that was never going to happen. My father wanted me brought to him alive, and he wasn’t exactly the kind of alpha that would be very forgiving if his orders weren’t followed to the letter.With that in mind I allowed my fangs and claws to extend while simultaneously taking a step forward. The man in front of me had been so cocky that it clearly hadn’t crossed his mind that I might make a move against him. He must have spent too many years dealing with meek prisoners, and forgot that I was
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 30 - Brianna
Things were going much too well. Kaiden and I had already managed to get through the boundary fence and into the building through the back exit without anyone noticing our presence here. It had been smooth. For a plan that I had come up with in a few minutes when I was worried about my mate and sleep deprived, it was far too good to be true.The next part was going to be the hard part, I wasn’t sure where in the building my father would be keeping Dominic or his family. I was sure however that it wouldn’t be long before they would notice our presence, so we were going to have to either work fast or fight our way out.We moved in silence through the ground floor of the building until we reached the elevator. There were five floors to this vast building, three of which were underground. The two floors that were above ground looked to be set up as office units in the blueprints that I had seen. So, I figured that the lower floors were where he would be keeping his prisoners. Although, th
