last update Last Updated: 2024-04-26 05:08:17

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

  • Once Upon a Forbidden Mate   Chapter 29 - Mason

    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

  • 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

    “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 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

    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

    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

    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

    The last three days had passed by as a haze of constant sex interspersed with a few hours of rest now and then. It had been amazing, but I was beyond relieved when my heat finally broke at some point last night, and I was able to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. I wouldn’t quite go as far as saying I was well-rested, but at least I was starting to feel a little more human than I had in days.I stretched out my muscles and slowly pulled myself into a seated position.“Where do you think you’re going?” Mason asked while looping his arm around my waist and pulling me back down onto the bed. He pulled me against his body so firmly that I could feel his cock pressing against my ass.“You can’t seriously still be turned on. You have just spent the last three days screwing my brains out and besides, I probably stink.”“You still smell delici

    I waited for Raymond and his ex-mate to gather what they needed and leave before letting a low growl leave my throat. I couldn’t understand why everyone around me couldn’t comprehend why I didn’t want the worry of what the council would do next at the back of my mind throughout my heat.This would be my first real heat since I was a teenager and there was a good chance I would get pregnant after it. The last thing I needed was to go back to my pack and get into a fight with the council while potentially being pregnant.“There is no need for that sunshine, we will take care of you.”Dominic and Mason closed in on me from either side and started kissing me on my neck and shoulder. It felt as though their hands were all over me and the sensation of their touch and their lips against my skin was enough to dampen the fire on my skin and ignite one much deeper inside of me. As much as I w

    The witch’s apartment was packed with so many plants and flowers that the air was thick with pollen and moisture. It was so intense that I made it difficult to breathe too deeply, and the tension between Raymond and his ex-mate didn’t help with that.She had allowed us into her home but was still doing everything in her power to make sure we were all aware of how unwelcome we were there. She had told us to stand at one end of the room while putting herself at the other end of it with her hands on her hips. Even though her apartment was small, there was still enough space between them that it would be difficult for Raymond to sneak in close enough to touch her.“I am waiting,” She growled.“I’m so sorry sweetheart. I should have never rejected you but that is something I can easily rectify. I Raymond ….”The woman held her hand out to stop h

    Brianna had pulled Mason and me to one side so that she could take us through her plan. She thought she was being clever but I thought her impending heat was frying her brain because her plan made absolutely no sense. She wanted us to use her heat as a way of making the council members incriminate themselves in a way that she could use against them.It was never going to work. The council were too cautious to slip up in such a way and even if they weren’t, her plan was flawed. Blackmailing someone who was trying to blackmail you was precarious at the best of times, but doing it when your mind was clouded by lust was suicide.“We need to think of another plan, one that doesn’t put you in so much danger,” I replied.Brianna whimpered, causing Mason to shuffle a little closer to her and wrap his arms tightly around her. I hadn’t meant my voice to sound so harsh but Mason and I weren&rs

    There was something wrong with my mates, I had been getting feelings of stress coming from both of them all afternoon and it only seemed to be getting worse as time passed by. It was an extra distraction that I really didn’t need when I was already struggling to trace their location using our bond.Adding to all of that, the man who had rescued me from the council seemed determined to share his life story with me. It sounded as though Raymond had been through quite a lot at the hands of the council but there was a time for sharing such stories and this wasn’t it. There had been more than one occasion in the last few hours where I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn’t tell him to shut the fuck up.“Do you have a plan?” Raymond asked as he took hold of my shoulder, halting my progress.“Of course I have a plan,” I growled. My tone wasn’t great but considering my curren

    I was strangely calm as ex-Alpha Kennedy’s men dragged me through the forest towards their lair. That was because I knew that despite all of his posturing, he couldn’t kill Dominic and me without also killing or seriously harming his own daughter. Even he wasn’t crazy enough to do that. So, he must have had some other plan for us.I watched with interest as we entered the makeshift camp where Alpha Kennedy was now staying. We moved too quickly for me to see everything but from what I had seen, I was pretty sure that his mate and his son weren’t there. There were only a handful of tents and a few boxes of what I assumed to be supplies. There couldn’t have been more than a dozen people left in the camp and most of them were the mates and children of the warriors who had intercepted us.From the intelligence that the council had shared with us, this was only a small fraction of the people who had left to join

    Getting caught red-handed by the council’s assistant was embarrassing enough but having them drag me into a room and hold me prisoner while both my mates watched was next level. I was meant to be a strong female Alpha and everything about today was making me feel more like an Omega.I had to watch helplessly while my mates were sent away on a dangerous mission and then once they were gone I was brought over to the table and pushed into a seat. There was something about the way the council members were looking at me as I adjusted myself within the seat that told me things were only going to get worse from there. I had to bite my lower lip to stop myself from making any sarcastic remarks while I watched them shuffling their paperwork in front of me.“You thought you were so clever when you were making plans with your weak human mate and your broken Alpha, didn’t you?” One of the council member’s assistants g

    It didn’t escape my notice how even though so much had changed in the last few days, I was basically right back to where I had started. Standing in another dark alleyway looking for clues so that I could trace someone’s movements.Franklin had joined us shortly after we left our pack’s territory and he was now helping us in our search. He had left the pack shortly after the council had turned up but he didn’t go too far away. He had been dealing with the council a lot longer than I had and he knew we would be needing his help before long.He was even less happy about going along with the council’s orders than I was, although even he admitted that we didn’t have any other viable options. With the pack almost completely under their control and the potential for them getting backup from some of the nearby packs, it wasn’t going to be possible for us to overpower them without risking Brianna’

    I don’t know how Dominic could stay so calm while our mate was in the hands of our enemies. I knew that he was used to hiding his emotions from others. It was just one of the skills he had picked up while working for the council alongside his parents but he was much better at this than I gave him credit for.There was barely any sign of stress on his face as he listened to the information that the council members wanted to share with him. Meanwhile, I felt as though I was barely holding onto my anger. My wolf was begging me to let him take over so that he could rip every single one of them apart and I was having trouble thinking of any reason good enough to deny his request.Nobody had dared to declare war on the council before because they feared what would happen to their pack if they did. But our pack was strong and we had many strong fighters, what would the council do if we decided to reject their authority? Could they really use
