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

    Lying to Mason made me feel awful, he was so concerned about me when I said that I needed to go to bed early. I had to do it though, there was no other way of keeping everyone in this pack safe while I rescued Dominic. Besides, I was still hoping that I would be able to make it back before anyone realised that I was missing. Getting out of the house and the pack unseen was easier than I had thought it would be. It was later and most of the pack members had gone home to get some rest after Mason came back home, so the house and the streets were mostly empty. I even felt relaxed though to turn on my phone and check my messages as I travelled through the forest towards the border. Both Nolan and Kaiden had been calling and messaging me almost constantly since I arrived at Mason’s pack. I hadn’t known how to respond to them so I had turned off my phone while I worked out what I was going to do. Now I needed both of them to help me so I had to hope that they wouldn’t be too upset about m

  • Once Upon a Forbidden Mate   Chapter 27 - Nolan

    My heart ached as I drove away from Brianna. I didn’t want to be driving into that pack with all of this going on in my mind, I wanted to punch something or drink my own body weight in alcohol. Instead I was driving straight into a high pressure situation where I would need to use all of my intellect and cunning. I wasn’t even sure if this plan was going to work, the last time that I had seen my father and my alpha they had chased me out of the pack. It wasn’t as though I had completed the mission that they had given me, so I had to think of some other reason for being here in the next couple of minutes. There were a few things that I could try but I wasn’t sure that either of them would be enough to distract from my real reason for being here. If I managed to get out of this alive with the codes it would be some kind of miracle. Alpha Kennedy must have been notified of my arrival the moment that I crossed the border because within a few seconds it felt like all my family were tryin

    Alpha Dalton led me down the corridors of his house in complete silence. I know that his beta and gamma were giving him instructions over mind link but not being able to hear them made me feel more out of the loop, and I didn’t like it. She was my mate and I needed to make sure she was safe, I needed to hold her in my arms and make sure that everything was OK.I also needed to remove this damn rejection, I couldn’t bear having it hanging over our heads any longer. If Mason wanted to take her away from me then he was going to have to kill me to do it. I was done pretending that I could ever give her up.“Where is she?” I asked, unable to take the silence any longer.“At the moment she is in the forest just outside the far side of her father’s territory.” Alpha Dalton replied without even so much as looking at me. We were getting close to his car now and he had picked up the pace, so much so that I was almost having to jog to keep up with him.“The far side, I wonder why she chose to ap

    This beta had been testing my patience from the start but it was a mistake for him to admit his feelings for Brianna. Even with my increased control over my wolf, there was only so much that I could do, and once I knew he had made an attempt to take her from me earlier today I was fighting a losing battle.My wolf growled and surged forward so quickly that I didn’t stand a chance in hell of holding him back. I found myself being forced to watch as my wolf lunged forward and grabbed this beta by the neck and sent the two of us tumbling to the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Dominic and Rowan getting out of the car and running over to me. They needed to move quickly, my wolf wasn’t thinking rationally and he was out for blood.“How dare you try to steal my mate from me beta,” My wolf growled. His grip on the beta’s throat tightened causing the beta to gasp for air while clawing at my hand. My wolf was not deterred by this, his claws dug into the skin at the back of his nec

    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

    “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 44 - Dominic

    I hated the council more than anything else in the world after what they had done to not only my family but also countless other families over the last few hundred years. I had seen first-hand some of the lives and packs that had been destroyed by their greed and bigotry. I wasn’t going to allow this pack to become just another statistic and I think that I had just the right plan to make sure that didn’t happen.Over the years while my family worked for the council my mother had become pretty good at putting on a persona that the council approved of. If there was anyone who would be able to help Brianna to get through the next few days it would be her. Taking hold of Brianna’s hand we went in search of my mother. Rowan had told me that she was helping to prepare the formal dining hall for our unwelcome guests.By the time I reached the dining hall on the far side of the building, I realised what Rowan meant when he said that it was rarely used. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere, a

    It was still dark in the room when I opened my eyes the next morning, I was still resting on Dominic’s chest and Mason was curled up behind me with his arm around my waist. It felt amazing waking up between the two of them and there was a part of me that wanted to stay there forever, but there was a larger part of me that desperately needed a wash and some food. I hadn’t eaten anything since the cake early yesterday afternoon and was starving.Pulling Mason’s arm off my waist was the easy part but it was going to be much harder to get myself out of bed without waking either of them. I started trying to wriggle my way to the bottom however, before I could get very far Mason grabbed hold of my hips and pinned me in place.“Where do you think you are running away to my love?” There was something about the husky nature of his voice that made my stomach flip with desire. Mason must have smelled my arousal because his eyes dilated and his nostrils flared. I was going to have to learn to con

  • Once Upon a Forbidden Mate   Chapter 42 - Dominic

    Watching Brianna and Mason together without being able to join in was the most erotic thing I have ever done. I never thought that I would be into watching my lover being intimate with someone else but it was amazing, the only problem was that I was now incredibly turned on and there was nothing that I could do to relieve the tension.Mason had made my mate come so hard that she had partially shifted and dug her claws into his back, drawing blood and I couldn’t wait for her to do the same thing to me. There was also a not-so-small part of me that wanted to lick Mason’s come out of my mate’s pussy. I wasn’t willing to admit to those urges yet, I hadn’t even exchanged saliva with Mason so I really didn’t think we were at the stage of our relationship where we could share other bodily fluids.“You were such a good girl but now I think it is time to focus on your other mate.” Mason purred, giving Brianna one last kiss before using his free hand to turn her head towards me.“Do you think y

    Brianna inhaled sharply as the crop hit her bare skin but, much to my disappointment she managed not to make any other sound. I counted down each strike and as I did so her skin started to turn pink and her core became wetter each time I made contact. Of the six strikes that I had promised her I had already given her five and she was yet to make a single sound, I was starting to think that I had let her off too lightly when I brought the crop down a final time and a soft whimper escaped her lips.“That is a shame. You were doing so well, but rules are rules, and you are going to have to learn to follow them.” I told her, trying not to let her know how much her failure excited me.I got up from the bed and went over to my dresser. I had a huge selection of toys but most of them were too advanced to use on Brianna so early into our relationship, so instead I picked out a pair of handcuffs and a blindfold.“It looks as though I am going to have to restrain you after all. I will let you h

    As soon as Brianna set foot into our room I pushed her against the wall and claimed her lips with my own. I had been looking forward to getting her away from prying eyes all day and I couldn’t wait a moment longer to taste her lips or feel her body pressed up against mine. Brianna tried to fight me even though her arousal was so thick in the air that I could taste it.I should have known that an Alpha female would have a bratty side when I started to pursue her. It wouldn’t have put me off her though, if anything it would have only made me more determined to have her. I liked women who challenged me, far too many women instantly submitted to me due to my Alpha genetics, having someone defy me was exciting in so many ways. Not least because it gave me an excuse to punish her.Taking hold of her wrists, I lifted her hands over her head and pinned them to the wall then used the pressure of my body against hers to prevent her from fighting against me. Once she stopped fighting and submitt

  • Once Upon a Forbidden Mate   Chapter 39 - Brianna

    Everything about this place was amazing. I loved that it was much smaller and more personal than anything I had seen within my father’s pack, and I also loved that everything in here seemed to smell absolutely wonderful. I could see why Mason would come here so often, I had only been here for a few minutes but I could already feel myself getting more relaxed.Once the waitress came back to our table with our drinks, I ordered a sharing platter which had all different types of cakes on it. Mason had ordered the same thing and I figured that as he came here so often he would know what the best options on the menu would be. Besides, if Mason could even live up to half of what he was promising then I was going to need all the energy that I could get for tonight.“Maybe I should just take some pieces off your plates rather than ordering sometime for myself,” Dominic suggested.“Sure, maybe Mason will share with you,” I replied, scowling at Dominic playfully. I thought he had grown up aroun

  • 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

    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
