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
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
I punched the punching bag in front of me as though it would solve all my problems but even as I was hitting it I knew it was impossible. Neither the three destroyed punching bags nor the broken bones I just gave my future beta were going to change my parent’s minds. It didn’t matter that I was just as strong as any other alpha, my parents couldn’t seem to look past the fact that I was female. I am sure that if I had any younger brothers they would have been handed the position as soon as they came of age. So why did they insist I needed my mate in order to take over? I wasn’t ever sure I wanted a mate, I had trained too hard and put in too many hours to be demoted to the luna position. I punched the bag in front of me so hard that the chains holding it in place groaned. The door to the gym creaked open behind me, I spun around and glared at the door. My childhood friend and future beta’s younger brother Nolan strolled through the door. He had a relaxed way about him that I had a
I sat at my desk with the laptop open in front of me, there were hundreds of tasks waiting for me but I couldn’t bring myself to do any of them. Looking after my pack and growing my businesses has been enough for me for the first few years after I took over as alpha but that was no longer the case. The missing part of my soul left a dull ache that nothing could block out and believe me I had tried everything. The one thing that would make me feel better was the one thing I could never have, a mate. I was born human. Not a wolf-less werewolf, a full human. Nobody knew why I was born the way I was, my parents spent years taking me to doctors hoping to find a reason or a cure. In the end they turned to magic. They found a witch who was able to create a wolf and bind it to me. The wolf she created for me was the strongest and most powerful wolf ever seen but all magic has a price. In my case that price was that my wolf was without a fated mate.At first it didn’t seem like a huge deal, I
I couldn’t believe that after what she put me through she showed up at my dorm room and even worse she brought him with her. I loved her with all of my heart and she just threw me aside like I was nothing. It hurt but I could understand why she did it. I have seen enough werewolves find their mate and I knew how powerful that bond could be. It was naive of me to think that my love could overpower that bond but that didn’t make me feel any better. I gave her all the love that I had and it still wasn’t enough to change anything. She threw me aside like I was garbage, she didn’t even have the decency to tell me the truth. I had to walk into the cafe that we normally went to only to see them snuggled cosily together. It was the worst feeling in the world to know that you gave your heart to someone, only to have them trample all over it. Now that she had chosen him I tried to do the honourable thing and keep out of her way but she didn’t have the same respect for me. Was it really too m
I knew something was off when my father insisted that we had a family dinner in our private dining room rather than with the rest of the pack. The last time we had dinner together as a family I was still a child. I must have been about eleven years old. That was the day that my father told me that he was enrolling me on an elite training programme. I left home a couple of months later and I didn’t come back until I was eighteen years old. I was stuck in that facility for seven years with a bunch of alphas, betas and elite warriors. The only people who spoke to me the whole time I was there were Nolan and Kaiden. We became very close during that time and I am sure that is why Nolan ended up falling in love with me. “I have some good news.” My father was smiling at me which in itself was a bad sign. How often have I seen my father smile? It couldn’t be more than a handful of times in all of my life. My mother kept her head down, looking intently at the plate of food in front of her. I
I felt the weight of Brianna’s father’s alpha command as soon as the words left his mouth. I was centimetres away from getting the one thing I had wanted for so many years. It was much too close to have it all taken away from me so cruelly. I have loved Brianna for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t her beauty, even though she was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. What really attracted me to her was her strength, she worked incredibly hard to prove herself to her family. Nothing she ever did was good enough for them and yet Brianna didn’t complain or give up. I gave my heart to her years ago, I was more than ready for her to give me hers in return. “Don’t listen to him, Nolan. Mark me and make me yours forever.” Brianna pleaded. Her words gave me the courage to fight her father’s command. As I lowered my canines towards her neck I could hear her father’s forces breaking through the door beside us. My eyes closed, her skin was so close that I could feel the heat of it
My father might not have locked me in a cell but he may as well have. Three of his most highly trained warriors took me straight to my room and locked me inside before standing guard outside it for the whole evening. I could have probably still taken all of them down and escaped, but where would that have gotten me?I would have ended up on the run with no money and no clue where I was going. I have no intention of being forced into being someone’s chosen mate but if I was going to escape then I had to make sure I did this right. Make sure that there was no chance of me getting caught or followed. Unfortunately, that meant I was stuck here, waiting in my room for my father to come and deal with me.I thought he would only make me wait for a few minutes before he came to reprimand me but it seems as though I couldn’t have been more wrong. After a few hours of listening to the people standing guard outside my room and gossiping about me, I realised that he wasn’t coming tonight. I was p

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
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
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
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
