I wanted to hate Mason so badly but I didn’t. He could have treated me like property in the same way my father did, but instead he spoke to me as though my opinions mattered to him. He wasn’t willing to let me go but other than that he had gone out of his way to make me feel like I mattered. It was confusing and more than a little frustrating. It made me want to throw my clothes around the room and break some of the beautiful furniture that he put in here. “What’s wrong? Is the room not to your liking?”Somehow Mason had managed to enter the room and sneak up on me without me hearing a thing. That only annoyed me more, I was an alpha in my own right and my hearing was usually outstanding. This was all his fault, with his stupid confusing behaviour.“The room is fine, it is my host that I have a problem with.” Mason’s face was stoic but there was nothing he could do to hide the hurt that shone through his eyes. I didn’t like being the one that put it there but it wasn’t as though he
Brianna had just proposed a deal which would solve all of my problems. I wouldn’t have to force her to be my mate against her will as long as I would be willing to wait for us to get to know each other better. Her father wouldn’t be too thrilled with the arrangement, he had wanted me to mark her at the party but I had already decided that I was going to go against his wishes.Public markings were humiliating and I would never put my Luna through that. He would probably be annoyed when he realised that I was deviating from his plan but I doubted that he would say anything at such a public event. He wouldn’t want to risk me living up to my reputation by putting him to death, and he had to know that he wouldn’t stand a chance against me in a fight.“I agree to your terms.” I replied.“Great, would you like to shake on it or something?”I had a better idea, I felt the corners of my lips lifting. I knew that it was a bad idea to tease her but I couldn’t seem to help it. Whenever I said som
After Mason stopped kissing me and fled the room as though my lips were made of lava, I spent the rest of the afternoon in my room alone. I assumed that Mason had to leave to attend to some kind of urgent pack business but it still didn’t feel good. One second we were kissing passionately and the next he mumbled something incoherent and walked out of the room without even looking back. It hurt that he was able to walk away from me so easily while I was left behind wanting him.After spending a few minutes feeling sorry for myself I started looking around my new room. Mason must have prepared this room for me in a hurry. He had filled the closet with more clothes than I had seen outside of a store before but there was no order to it. They were all different sizes and styles, and every one of them still had the tags attached.It was the same story when I looked through the draws. He had even set out a desk for me in the corner of the room with a brand-new laptop and phone on top of it.
Nolan was already waiting for us when Franklin and I arrived at our rendezvous point. He was dressed in a dark suit and leaning back against a ridiculously expensive sports car. Almost every high ranking pack werewolf I had ever met acted like some kind of movie star and this Nolan character was no exception. He probably had more money sitting in his checking account than my family would see in our whole lives. Just thinking about it made me feel sick.“Is that what you are wearing tonight?” Nolan asked as we approached him.Looking down at what I was wearing I couldn’t see anything wrong with it. I was only wearing a dark t-shirt and smart jeans, but it wasn’t as though I was trying to impress anyone. This was going to be a business arrangement, it wasn’t a date, why would he be interested in what I was wearing?“You are never going to get him to wear anything else. If I didn’t know any better then I would assume that those jeans were surgically grafted to his body.” Franklin said, r
It felt amazing walking into the ballroom with my arm around Brianna’s waist. I had never dated anyone before, never had anyone that I could share my life with. The only person in my life who I could talk to was Rowan, but that wasn’t the same as having a mate. There were certain things you couldn’t really share with your friends no matter how close you were. What I really wanted was the kind of companionship that my parents had together, and Brianna was going to be my chance at obtaining that.I was so busy smiling at my soon to be mate that I didn’t notice Rowan approaching us. When he greeted us both he appeared nervous, as though there was something he was trying to hide from me.“Spit it out because you know that I won’t rest until I work out what is happening.” I told Rowan.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He tried turning his back on me so I wouldn’t be able to see that he was lying to me, but he had clearly forgotten who he was dealing with. If he wanted to hide som
My mate was kissing another man right in front of me. If I was a fool then maybe I could rationalise it by saying that alpha Dalton initiated the kiss. But that didn’t explain why she was pulling him closer and kissing him back with so much enthusiasm. Even after everything her father said, she clearly wasn’t doing this completely against her will.I just wish it didn’t have to hurt so much. My self esteem was already low after what my ex did but this was a much larger blow. Your mate was meant to be almost genetically predisposed to love you, so what did it say about me if even she didn’t want to be with me. If I didn’t need alpha Dalton’s help so badly I would have snuck out of here and spent the rest of the evening drowning my sorrows in a dark and dingy bar somewhere. Franklin noticed the way I was looking at the woman alpha Dalton was kissing and it must have been clear to him that she was my mate. He was looking at me with such pity, I hated it. I was strong and resourceful. Gr
Mason only left with my mate a few minutes ago but I was already getting anxious. Everyone in the room was looking at me but none of them would approach me or talk to me. It felt as though I was an exhibit in some museum, people would walk past me while talking about the way I was dressed and the way I looked. Some of them even pointed at me as they gossiped about me. I downed the rest of the champagne in my glass, not that it was enough to have much of an effect on an alpha like me. I was going to need a lot more of those if I was going to rid myself of my anxiety. I was here alone while Mason was talking to my mate, probably convincing him that I wasn’t worth the hassle. He would probably come back to the party any moment so that he could reject me. This was meant to be a celebration for my birthday as well as my mating to Mason and I had a feeling that it was going to end with me crying. I probably didn’t help my situation by not pushing Mason away when he tried to kiss me. But
I carried Brianna all the way to my room while whispering into her ear about all the things I was going to do to her. I loved how responsive she was to my words, her whole body shuddered as I spoke to her and I could smell the scent of her arousal in the air around me. My wolf was purring appreciatively in the back of my mind the whole time.Once we reached my room I placed her feet carefully on the floor and pressed my lips against hers. I pulled her body closer to mine so that I could reach the zip at the back of her dress. I expected her to object to me undressing her but she didn’t, instead she moaned into my mouth and grabbed onto my shit so tightly that I thought she might rip it straight off me. Her dress slipped off her shoulders revealing the tops of her breasts to me and making my cock push painfully against the zipper of my trousers. I desperately wanted to bury myself inside of her and claim her, it was such a shame that she wasn’t ready to do that. There were plenty of o
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
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
