I crouch in front of him and inch my face toward his. “Look at me, fool,” I order. He raises his pallid face until our eyes connect. He looks like he has been crying. His tear-stained cheeks confirm my suspicions while his pale, boney, spotted hands tremble. I can feel the presence of the other Al
*Gene* I can’t help but pace back and forth through my office. The Alphas have gone down to the crypt to speak to Alpha Morris. Only my Beta remains in my office. I want some answers, but I don’t even know where to begin. “Where did those asshole Alphas go to?” I demand from Adam, even though I kn
I disagree with the strong-arm tactics that the four Alphas are approaching me with. I am not used to being told what to do, and I have a long memory. I will hold it against them. I will find a way to make sure all four of these Alphas pay for their behavior today. But right now, with their forces
*Emily* I am so gorgeous… none of those stupid fucking Alphas even deserve me. Yet, they think they want that stupid Breeder bitch instead. They must have been brainwashed from that bitch herself. I stare at my reflection in the mirror, brushing out my long, dark hair, waiting to hear from the pac
I say nothing, but I feel tears stinging my eyes. Emily is losing, and Emily doesn’t like that. “You are going to marry Alpha Stephen. He’s here to collect you.” King Gene’s words seem definitive, like there’s nothing I can say to change his mind, and that makes me want to hurl the stapler off of
*Eli* I shove my hands into the pockets of my jeans but then pull them out again. What is taking the other three Alphas so long to get here? “Calm down, brother. I’m sure we will come up with a solution soon. Just breathe,” Kelly tells me. I inhale and exhale, but the relaxation technique is doin
I try to visualize what he’s explaining and grin. “That sounds like a hell of a tag team. I would enjoy that innovative maneuver.” “Right? Tell that to grumpy Marky-Mark here,” Tristan teases while steering the car to avoid a pothole in the road. “Not that it’s a bad move, but I just want you to w
*Tristan*A swooshing sound in the air alerts me to the fact that something heavy is flying in my direction, before I even hear Reece’s voice shouting in my head, “Watch out!”I throw the bag toward a nearby rose bush and crouch down just in time to see a brown wolf tumble in front of me. I jump up,
I look at Shelby. “Shelby… why?” She looks like she’s about to burst, and she finally spits it out. “Because I’m pregnant!” My eyes go wide, and I want to grab her and jump up and down, but I don’t want to squish Reeva, so I do a milder equivalent of that, which involves one arm and bouncing more
Rose It feels strange going back to Castle Dark Forest, and it’s going to feel even weirder being there again. It’s been so long since I first arrived there for the stupid contest… well, I guess without that contest, I would have never met my Alphas, so I suppose I won’t call it stupid anymore. I
Eli seems only half-convinced, and once Kelly and this guy are finally separated, he clears his throat.“I’m going to need the name of the guy who just sucked face with my sister,” he says firmly. “And I need to know where you’re from, and whether you have a criminal record, and—”Kelly slaps Eli’s
RoseI can’t believe how much the Goddess has blessed me. I remember all the times I was hunched over on the floor of the sewage plant trying to force myself to breathe through my mouth to avoid the stench. It didn’t work very well. I also remember all those lonely nights in my high school years whe
After a moment, I remember and quickly free him from the rest of his clothes. He pulls my nightgown over my head and tosses it exactly where he thought it should go and then lays me on the bed, All I’m wearing now is a tiny red thong. He stands at the foot of the bed and takes me in. “Damn,” he mur
Mark It’s my turn to spend the night with Rose, and I can hardly wait. It is a little odd being in this position, sharing my mate with four other men, but now that we have our situation settled, I realize I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m carrying flowers as I go into her room. I think she’s p
“No, little flower,” says Tristan.The smile on his face and twinkle in his eye made my heart skip a beat.“He’s not allowed anywhere near our precious little pups,” he clarifies. “Just the diapers. Dirty diapers, all day long… that’s his new job! We’ll watch him every second.”“But you don’t have t
RoseI love spending time out in the garden, and now I’m doing it with four little bundles of joy. I’ve heard that expression so many times, but now that I’m a mother, I really understand just how much joy those little bundles can bring. And with all the fear of losing them that I’ve experienced ove
“No.” Alpha Alice crosses her hands across her chest. “I’m staying out of this. If these Alphas want to take you, so be it. I know how the contest was supposed to go, and if one of them had a male baby, then that will be the next Alpha King. I’m not getting on their bad side.”“Appalling!” I shout.
