APRILThe scenery might’ve stunned me enough to want to drink it in for much longer, but Nick’s kisses were far more stunning and worth drinking in than any sight in existence. Unlike the way it was when we first walked into the house, his kisses were less hungry and rushed. This time around, they were slower and more deliberate, like he wanted to savor every second that our lips were joined as he gently led us towards the bed. Whatever the pace was, I simply loved having his hands on my body. Still, there was something about this gentle pace that made me feel like the most delicate flower in the world, like I was absolutely precious and he adored every inch of me so much that he couldn’t bear to rush the process of appreciating it. “Have i mentioned how perfect you are?” he moaned into my mouth as my back touched the bed and I couldn’t help but smiled against his lips. “Yeah, like a thousand times,” I told him as he pulled away and used his thumb to slowly trace the entire expan
APRIL When he finally came up from between my thighs, his face was glistening with my juices and it was the hottest thing ever. As if that wasn’t making my ovaries sing loudly enough, I looked down to find precum dripping from the tip of his dick and I let out a moan that was surprisingly loud as I slid out my tongue and licked my lips in anticipation. “Put that in my mouth, I need it,” I pleaded, my chest heaving as arousal cracked a clear path in my brain and took over my reasoning completely. He smiled at me, and he suddenly looked even more enticing than he already had. I just wanted to gobble him up whole and make him feel the same insane things he was making me feel. I wanted to shake the very foundation of his gorgeous being with passion and bliss like he was effortlessly doing to me. With one swoop of his finger over the tip of his dick, he swiped the liquid and before I knew it, he was shoving that same finger into my mouth. “Since you want to taste me so badl
NICK The sex with April felt more intense than usual. I couldn't explain it but it felt like my whole body and soul was in tune with it. My wolf wasn't left out. He felt too sated, and too happy. And the way April was looking up at her, eyes wild with pleasure, strands of hair on her face, it was too much for me to bear. I could dedicate my whole life to making love to her. I could feel the full moon shining at its brightest and since our wolves were always more active during it, I didn't think too much of my wolf straining to be let out. Until I could smell a sweet scent. The sweetest one I've ever smelled. And my wolf spoke through my mouth. “Mate.” April's eyes widened in shock while I was dazed from what just happened. In that instant, the amount of pleasure we felt from making love seemed to impossibly triple and neither of us could hold back the orgasms that crashed down on us, fierce, blissful, explosive, and unforgiving. Trembling in each other’s arm
APRILLast night was the perfect definition of absolute bliss.Before we realized that I was his mate, I thought that I’d already achieved the peak of pleasure with Nick from the countless other times that he’d fucked my brains out and made me cum violently hard. But last night had proven to me that I’d never been more wrong to think so. With our wolves in tune, communicating our every need and multiplying the pleasure by what was most definitely a thousand folds, I was soaring higher than ever on the waves of ecstasy. Since it was a full moon and we’d just been mated, every single emotion was more heightened than ever and it felt like we both wanted to drown in each other and never come up for air. I’d memorized every beautiful inch of his body and I could draw it on a canvas with my eyes clamped shut after how many rounds we’d gone on last night. We’d barely even slept, but I still felt amazingly well rested after the few hours of sleep we’d shared in each other’s arms. I’d just
XANDER“Goal! That’s a fucking hat trick now!” I whistled as I scored again. Conveniently, that’s when Ace’s game pad slipped out of his hands and he rolled his eyes at me, ever the sore loser. “Yeah, you caught me off guard that’s all, I’d have blocked it if my grasp on my controller was sturdier,” he made an excuse for losing like he had the last two times I scored a goal. I was about to call his bullshit when the sound of the door opening distracted us both and we turned towards it. When I saw that it was Nick, I paused the ongoing game, not because we started without him, but because he was acting very suspiciously. Ace clearly thought so too, because we exchanged puzzled glances. Nick wasn’t the grinch or anything, but we’d both never seen him this excited. He was humming a song, grinning from ear to ear and nodding his head to the rhythm as he approached us. I couldn’t even guess that he might’ve won the lottery, because when you were born into unending wealth like us, mone
XANDERThe right thing to do would be to back off now that Nick was fated to April, but I knew that nothing could keep me away from her. How could I possibly keep my hands off her when she was the only woman my body constantly craved? If I was still able to feel the least tinge of attraction to other women, I’d have considered it, but she’s the only one that still gives me an erection, like my dick only responds to her and thoughts of her. She’s constantly in my dreams. In my head. Swirling around in every sinful memory. “I came to tell you both the Goodnews and that you’ll need to keep your hands to yourself from now henceforth because she’s off limits,” Nick proclaimed, looking between me and Ace to make sure that those words had sunk. Ace didn’t say a word, he didn’t even seem the least bit interested in the conversation. He was just scrolling quietly on his phone and puffing cigarette smoke in the air like he was alone in the living room. Luckily for him, smoking didn’t bothe
ACEThe bro code is straightforward about shit like this. A fellow bro’s girlfriend is off limits, so I’m pretty sure it’s even stricter when it’s a fated mate and not just a girlfriend. Once Nick dropped the literal bomb of being her mate yesterday, I knew that I had to make an effort to get her out of my head, because despite how much of an asshole Xander was being, the truth remains that neither of us would’ve been comfortable with the others fucking a girl that turned out to be a mate. But I couldn’t leave her alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Every now and then, I was running my wolf through the woods to void myself of thoughts of her, but then I’d end up jerking off in the shower or in bed whenever those thoughts resurfaced. I couldn’t count how many times I’ve had a boner in public from seeing her walk by or picking up on her scent. As though being turned on by her during the day wasn’t enough of a struggle, I kept having wet dreams about her every fucking night.
ACEApril’s ability to constantly defy me was maddening. Not in a way that made me want to yell at her and cuss her out. In a way that made me want to fuck her until she was bawling and drenched in my cum, until she was a mess od juices and moans, until my dick had memorized the depth of her insides. I mean, you couldn’t blame me for wanting to fuck her into next week when she was disobeying me yet again. Even after I’d made it clear that the consequences would be dire. She was supposed to have been here over ten minutes ago, because I’d walked out of that lecture hall exactly twenty minutes ago and I was still standing by my car, hoping she’d come to her senses without forcing me to punish her. But of course, she didn’t. That stubborn little needy slut was defying me. Enraged and sexually frustrated by the long wait, I decided to find her myself. I had the enhanced nasal abilities of an alpha’s heir so it wasn’t hard to single out her scent in a fountain of others. My wolf had m
PROLOGUEAPRIL“Sandy, stop making your brother cry. You promised that you wouldn't do that today, remember?” I groaned as my oldest child terrorized her little brother. She shrugged, laughing, the mischievous glint in her eyes matching that of one of her dads whose character she’d inherited; Ace. “It’s so easy to make him cry, I promise I wasn't even trying. I’m just being myself,” she flipped her dark lush hair over her shoulders, the glossy and stunning sight also resembling that of her fathers. She was such a daddy’s girl that she took every last bit of her being from them; her drop dead gorgeous looks and her fearless, stubborn personality. According to her dads, she got her stubbornness from me and not them, but I refused to believe that. “Sweetheart, putting a worm in your brother’s shoe doesn't count as being yourself,” Nick stifled laughter as he walked into the living room, dressed handsomely in suit that was identical to our son Samuel’s. “I’m a prankster and an anima
APRIL“Well, it’s a good thing I know exactly where that asshole is,” Nick’s mom said, the anger in her voice superseding his.At least Xenia’s trip across the world had proven to be the answer to our problems. But now, we had yet another broken hearted mate to add to the mix, and just like me, the pain sprung from parental issues. However, there was no time to dwell on that. The moon goddess had given us an opportunity to reclaim the peace in our city, so we had to focus our all on that. After the city was secure, we'd find a way to tend to our broken hearts and find the emotional healing we all deserve.But for now, all that mattered was find Nick’s monster of a father and putting and end to his evil attacks. “Are you sure this is the place, mom?” Nick asked as we pulled into the empty driveway of an abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere. “I'm certain. I'll never forget it because I traced his assets all over the city in a bid to uncover proof of his evil agenda, but he cau
APRILWe all followed behind him, running until we stopped outside what seemed to be a prison cell. There was a woman dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust cowering in a corner and hugging her knees to her chest, and something about her was oddly familiar. My mates also seemed shocked by her presence, but not in the same way that I was. The look in their eyes told me that they knew something about this mystery woman that I didn't know. Before I could even ask about it, Nick grabbed the iron bars and broke them off with a deep growl before running into the cell and wrapping his arms around the woman. That? That was the most confusing thing I’d ever witnessed. And I needed answers right now.I started to stomp towards the cell when Nick said a word that made me freeze in place, understanding washing over me in a thousand waves. “Mom! It’s you!”I blinked repeatedly, awfully confused. “Mom?” Ace and Xander looked away from the emotional reunion unfolding before us and nodd
APRILGlinda was confirmed to have been dead for good, but our hellish experiences still didn't cease after her death. Personally, I was still grieving my mother and the wonderful life I would've enjoyed with my parents if she hadn't swooped in and turned things upside down. My mother’s burial was an emotional moment for me and I broke down completely while delivering the eulogy. The guys even had to come upstage and keep from falling apart some more. The days that followed weren't any greener, especially with the dark void around the city worsening and swallowing us into a vortex while I was still grieving.Of course we were terribly confused as to why the spiritual attacks had carried on even after Glinda’s death, but no one had a reasonable answer to that. It was fucking frustrating having to watch people in pain almost every damn day. It sucked the humanity out of one’s soul and replaced it with nothing but bitterness. The only thing that was clear to me about the pattern of
APRIL“You rotten lads, you couldn’t just mind your damn business? This is your fathers’ karma, why did you have to dig your stupid snotty noses in it?” she hissed angrily, overly displeased that she’d been found out by us.“We should be asking the questions,” I responded, upset that she hadn’t even made an effort to explain herself, “we came here thinking this whole fiasco was orchestrated by Glinda, only to see that it’s you, mom?!” The disappointment in my voice was thick, but she obviously didn’t give a shit about my feelings because she broke into hysterical laughter. “Mom? I’m not your fucking mom you idiotic little whore,” she rolled her eyes, and then she snapped her fingers, causing her face and physical appearance to warp instantly. Suddnely, she was a silver-haired woman with countless ancient tattoos of the moon and a shiv stuck in her heart that told us more than we needed to know. Later on, the Alphas had given us a more detailed tale of the day they finally took dow
APRIL It’s been almost a month of back to back horrors breaking out in the city.We’d successfully chased the rogues out of the city and the sorceres were stationed alongside the armies by the borders, making sure that no more enemies were able to breach our defenses and get in.Heaps of bodies had been buried over the weeks and the entire town was reeking of grief. Loved ones were being mourned in different corners of the city were candles were lit beside framed photos and bouquets of flowers. Each photo of the dead that I saw brought me close to tears, but for children’s photos, my heart literally ached and felt like it was going to explode. Living in a place that was shrouded with pain and darkness was suffocating. Even though the sun came out each day, it felt like there was a dark void enveloping the city because everyone was in a sunken mood. We had to find Glinda and put an end to her attacks before the city was ruined beyond saving. Our search for her so far has proven fu
APRILThe ticking clock in the ICU waiting room was the only audible sound.Xander had been taken in for an emergency operation a while ago and we were still waiting to hear back from the doctors.When we arrived at the hospital, he was barely breathing, and it seemed like they might’ve stopped his heart for the surgery because I couldn’t feel even a shred of his presence through the bond. On our way to the hospital, we’d dropped Natalie at one of the safety bunkers where security and magic borders were keeping people safe. If she was here, she’d have been a great distraction for me. And god, I’d do anything to be distracted from this godawful unending pain. My chest fucking hurt. Every nerve in my body was on literal fire. My head was pounding as though a line up of high school bands were in a competition. All I could think of was the pitiful state we’d found Xander in a while ago. The way he looked helpless and near death’s door. The way his blood was like a second skin masking
APRILThe city was a mess. A bloody one.“Natalie, stop using your fucking phone or you’re going to get us killed,” I whispered to my best friend whose face was a mess of dry tears. She glared at me. “If I’m going to die, I need Hector to know that he was the best sex I ever had and I always wished we became more.” I frowned at her, both disturbed and confused that she’d picked that as the most important thing to put in order in a life and death situation. What a freaking clown.“Nat, I’ve told you a thousand times, you’re not going to die,” I bit out, “Nick asked us to stay hidden here and he’ll come get us, and I know he will.”I reminded her of the instruction we’d gotten almost an hour ago when chaos broke out in the city.Apparently, some rogues breached the city’s gates and began to brutally attack every living thing in sight. They've been killing anything in their way and no one is exempt from their wrath.Not women. Not innocents. Not children. Not animals. It was a battle
XANDER Today, just like every other day for the last two weeks, we’d split up to search for Brooke. April was able to fully recover from the effects of the poison she was heartlessly fed by Brooke after a full day or more. Once we were certain that she was in a perfectly healthy state, we decided to go on a hunt for Brooke to make her pay for hurting our precious mate.No one seemed to know where she was. No one had seen her since she ran off that day. Even the city cameras had no footage of her since that day. It was almost like she’d vanished into thin air after that day, but we refused to give up on our search.We even had the authorities officially interrogate everyone she knew, especially those she worked with at her modeling agency, but no one had any reasonable information to share with us that would narrow her search.Even her personal assistant only heard that she was missing from us, he’d assumed she was taking a mental health break when she didn’t come to the office for
