HorndogCoalFour weeks had gone by. Four long weeks of keeping my hands to myself, agony, when all I wanted to do was gather Brinley into my arms and ravish her body from head to toe.But the temptation was too much. We couldn't have intimate kisses and touches, and not take it farther. Our interlude in the cave had proven that point beyond a shadow of a doubt.As soon as Brinley was naked, my Wolf had come within minutes of marking her. I'd stopped him, but just barely.Frankly, I had no idea how I'd been strong enough to keep us both from marking and mating Brinley. The force of the bond drove me hard. It was relentless.Darcie had explained the compulsion was even more heightened for me as a future Alpha, the Moon's way of getting what she wanted, the right wolves as her Luna's. And damn, I had to agree, the bond wasn't something to be played or trifled with. It was all-consuming, and it washed over me at least a hundred times a day, jerking me toward my destiny.Even the air betw
Amber nodded, her lips curled up happily. They headed toward the door when Ryder abruptly entered the basement.My anxiety level spiked. He shouldn't be here, not right now.Ryder had joined in some previous training sessions, but his schedule today was full. He should have been at the packhouse.So why had he come all this way? And why hadn't he mind-linked with me when he was within distance to let me know he was coming?The hard look on Ryder's face confirmed my suspicion.Something was wrong.The Onyx Moon Enforcers also felt the unease rolling off of him. Ryder was normally very laid-back, so the thin line of his mouth and furrowed brow was disconcerting for them as well. He ground out, "You're needed back at Ravenwood.""Okay." I took a step in his direction as everyone else in the room remained silent.Ryder interjected meaningfully, "No. All of you."I stopped in my tracks.All of us were required at Ravenwood? What the hell?I asked through clenched teeth, "What's going on? D
And now during his interactions with her, I noticed he made a point to be gentle and include her in every conversation. I hoped his turnaround hadn't been solely related to the fact that she was my mate. I hoped he'd genuinely changed and matured. I thought he had. I'd seen significant differences in the way that he viewed things and handled problems. And he hadn't tried to lie or diminish his responsibility for his past actions. He'd owned up to his behavior. Even in the face of my wrath, he'd been honest. And that said something about his character.He'd also given me the names of the shewolves who'd tormented Brinley. Their behavior was on another level. It was despicable. Even if their target hadn't been my mate, I would still seek retribution. Actions like theirs should not go unpunished. And when the time came, they would be lucky to walk away with their lives.Rather than punishment, there was a much higher chance that my Wolf would eat them and lick his jaws happily when done.
As You WishOur first chapter in RYDER'S POV!!!RyderI tried to open my eyes, but they were not cooperating, instead preferring to stay comfortably closed. But as I became more aware, I realized I wasn't comfortable, not really. My arms and legs were stiff and decidedly uncomfortable. My head also felt stiff.What the hell happened to me?I'd had hangovers before but this didn't feel the same. Something was wrong, off somehow.I let out a low groan as I forced one eyelid open and peered around. I didn't recognize the plush neutral colored couch I was currently seated on or the large bed in the center of the space. It had a blue duvet and a pile of pillows in varying shades of aqua, green and blue. Nothing was familiar, but I knew one thing for sure, this wasn't my room.So where was I?Quite abruptly, I was wide awake, adrenaline coursing through my veins when I realized I wasn't alone. That bastard vampire sat across from me!He smiled, clearly pleased with himself. His smug express
I ignored the strange feeling, pushing whatever it was away. Now was not the time for self-evaluation.Without another word, I sank into the chair.He didn't move, leaving me eye-level with his now rock-hard cock. It pressed against the confines of his jeans. I flushed and turned my head away.He chuckled, his humor returned, as he strolled back to his chair.When he was seated, he began again, "As I said, contrary to what you may think, when I said I would possess you, I meant willingly, not by force. It's clear that you need a little time to adjust and understand. I brought you here so we could talk, so you could get to know me."I kept my mouth shut, not challenging him this time.It was apparent I wasn't getting free without help. I needed Coal. Anxiety rolled through me when I remembered Coal had also been drugged and taken as well. Where was he? My Wolf was silent, but did that mean I couldn't use our mindlink.I reached out to Coal in my head and only heard silence in return.A
"No! You can't tell anyone. I don't want anyone to know!"The very last thing I needed or wanted was the warriors, or even worse, my father, to know what was happening to me. "I would rather die than for them to know.""I can't just leave you. "I could hear the agony in Coal's voice. I understood his struggle. I wouldn't leave him behind either."So he's awake?" the vampire interrupted.My glance shot up at him. "What? How did you know?""Your eyes glazed over," he acknowledged. "It wasn't hard to guess you were having a different conversation in your head. Tell him you'll call him when we're done talking."I stared at him in disbelief. "You're just going to let me go? Just like that?"Aatos nodded. "I told you I want you willingly. And when you're done denying it to yourself, you'll realize you want me to. So to prove it to you, when we're done talking, I'll tell you our location, and he can come pick you up."I was shocked, but there didn't seem to be any deception in his expression
A hard flush of embarrassment and shock flowed through my body at my actions, and I released myself. I muttered, "No... I..." Aatos stood to his feet, his pants resting on his hips, his arousal still in hand and walked to the couch to sit next to me. His closeness made it hard for me to think straight. My breathing picked up as I watched his dick twitch with excitement in his palm.The head of his cock looked soft, like velvet, I couldn't help wondering how it felt. Sensing my desire, Aatos took one of my hands and wrapped it around his shaft, holding his hand over it.I didn't fight him.He rubbed both of our hands up and down.I bit back a groan. I was painfully hard now.After a moment, he let go, and I was stunned to find I was stroking him all on my own. There was something incredibly erotic to know I held the manhood of such a powerful creature in my hand, to do with as I liked.Aatos growled, "Fuck! You have no idea how badly I want to see you on your knees with your head in my
He's Waiting For MeBrinleyStepping through the doors of the packhouse, I glanced around. It was immaculate. My eyes rested, unfocused, on the opulence as I walked toward the kitchen. There was a time when I found the grand architecture stunning and the landscaping beautiful. Now it just felt cold.It was never my home. I saw that so clearly now. I didn't belong here. Crazy to think the Moon intended me to be the next Luna. She planned for all of it to belong to Coal and me, but I couldn't picture it. Truthfully, I didn't want it. I cared nothing about being Luna. I just wanted Coal.I bit my lip, my anxiety increasing. I hadn't seen Alpha in weeks, and I dreaded crossing his path. Anxiety fluttering in my belly, I pushed through the kitchen door. My head swiveled looking around for Cook.I still had no idea exactly what my duties were this evening. Maybe I would get lucky and be assigned to serve the lesser wolves.I cringed...Luck had never been on my side.Abruptly, a hand claspe
Yes l fell into a deep pit of sleep next to Coal, but the moment i did everything changed, i didn’t know where my subconscious was heading to but I was no longer feeling closer to Coal. At first, it was black with blasts of light coming from every corner and then I sunk deeper into the dream and woke up in the middle of nowhere.I glanced back, over my shoulder and found the wind whistling behind me and picking up the whatever was coming in its way. The long, thick trees wavered and branches snapped left and right. I pushed my hair behind my ears, holding them from blocking my vision.A part of me knew this was a dream but the other part of me didn't have a clue.A forest was stretched ahead of me and it reminded me of the one I was in, the time l saw the creature. The sound of the whistles and the wind speeding around me confirmed my theory. I was standing where the dark creatures found me in the beginning, the same exact spot.Fear immediately flowed through my whole body as l recal
As soon as we were alone Kaden tossed me onto the couch near the bed. I fall back on it and clutched the sides while he began circling around me. My breaths came out quickly as I gathered the scene in front of me.The bed was covered in blood, mostly his blood but not all. There's some of mine on the sheets because of the sharp wood but his blood covers most of it. The wooden stake sat near to the pillow until he grabbed it and brought it to me."You can't stab me. I will die." I tell him.He chuckles at my protest and twirls the stake in his hand before coming behind me. My chest raises and drops as he lowers his head close to mine while the stake remains in his hand."I could stab you, then heal you. You'd feel most of the pain, wouldn't you?" It's not a question, it's a threat.I mask my fear and smile. "It wouldn't be the same since I did stab you in the heart. You can't get anywhere close to mine because then I'd die. Not even your blood would heal me."His face turns into a twis
'Keep running because if I catch you, I'll bite you.'His laughter rang in my ear, and filled me with fear and horror as I ran through the woods on my feet.I've unleashed the monster, and now there was no turning back. He'was chasing me, he found the thrill in it and I don't. The cold gripped me from everywhere. The woods are completely dark, there's no source of light or life, just him and me. Fear instilled inside me as I tried desperately to find a path out of the woods and into the town I've escaped from.I don't even know where it is, to begin with. Nothing is familiar.The woods close in around me, dark, looming trees and crisp, cold air. The darkness is suffocating but I have to find my way back, back into Kaden's house where he can trap me forever.I already know he isn't going to let this go so easily. Forcing me to run across the woods, in the cold night while he chases me and threatens to bite me is only the beginning of his anger. It's only the tip of the iceberg.I stabbe
"Well, you're really not one for morning-after cuddles, are you?" He asked, a frown smeared on his face.Instead of replying, I screamed again, unable to believe that he's here. Right now. Right here. I killed him. I fucking killed him.It doesn't turn to reality until I feel his hand over my mouth, stifling my screams. I struggle against his grip, but it's vain, pointless. He's a lot stronger than me and the fear coursing through me doesn't help either."You really thought a piece of wood could stop me? How amusing." His voice is teasing now, a smirk playing on his lips but I don't take it lightly. There's a dangerous fire flickering in his face.I draw his hand away from my mouth and rushed out of the car to catch my breath. Cold wrapped around me. My chest raised and dropped. I blinked at him as he stepped out. My one hand falls over my hip while the other one is over my mouth. How is he alive? I stabbed him.He was dead.Literally dead."Oh, now you're the one scared." His smirk t
ISABELLA'S POV.I placed the pump back and headed into the store. I was finally free and out of the dark forest. The cashier smiled and waved at me as I entered. Rows of snacks, drinks, and road maps greeted my eyes. My stomach grumbled as I moved in the aisles. I really missed eating them. I didn't see anything in that monster werewolf world.Just staring at some cookies made my stomach to grumble again. I have never felt this hungry, this empty and so thirsty.Without hesitating, I grabbed whatever I could fit into my hands before returning to the cashier.The cashier smiled at me once more but this time I returned a fake smile. I damn hungry. "How has your night been?" The cashier asked while checking out the items in front of him.I sighed, not knowing what answer I should give me.He was trying to be nice to me but I wasn't interested at all. He didn't know what the hell was stressing me and what I passed through within one night.I killed my so called mate. What was worse, he di
My eyes flutter opened to find Kaden, asleep.The moment I saw a big black wolf , I lost conscious immediately. I couldn't help it but still I wasn’t saved because here I was now on his chest resting on it.How the hell did it happen?!I sat up startled then I looked around. It was still night, nearing morning.Currently he looked peaceful , his pink lips kinda open but still I didn’t like him.We are two different people. He is a werewolf and I am a normal person.Nothing of that is going to change. If he thought that sleeping with me will make me feel better , he was a fool.He's still cold, just like he's meant to be and I will never like him.Slowly I slided off the bed, my legs wobbling a little as my body adjusted to the after-effect of fighting with the bitch. I moved softly across the room, wincing as a small wave of pain shooted through my lower body. I clenched my teeth and pressed on.When I looked back, I found kaden still sleeping after all my movements. He's deep asleep
I sat alone on the bed, my legs hanging off the side and my feet barely touching the ground. The night was colder than the day and it was worse because I was alone in the room I didn't want to sleep in , surrounded by an eerie silence and my own thoughts. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, not here, not again.There's something odd about this room. I don't want to be in here for another day, even another minute.My eyes travelled over the walls and then to the window at the top but there was no escape. After a while I sighed heavily then slipped my feet under the sheets and lay down, contemplating my own life, my situation. Would it have been any different if I didnt tell Alex that I was pregnant. I wouldn't be here by now.Here I was stuck, eyes opened while ,l listened to the forest outside. Everything was cool but my inner part wasn't. Things were strange here. Surprisingly I was no longer feeling the pain and yet I fought with that bitch."Urggh", Thinking about it all, l lost inte
The guards didn't grip my hands as they led me to my prison. I thought they were taking me to the whore house but shockingly this time they decended downstairs.This was the basement.As soon as we reached one of the guards open the cell. I blinked there was no chains in it. It was an empty stone walled room , cold and daunting. There was a chair in the middle, a table in front of it and another chair facing it together with a single lamp in the middle. It seemed like an interrogation room for some sort ."Sit", He simply ordered and l obeyed without uttering anything. I wasn't just thrown in a cell to rot but something else was coming. He stood at the door waiting. Suddenly the door opened and l knew who the hell it was. It was the son of a bitch Kaden , he didn't enter immediately though.I looked at the guard who simply stood at the door waiting then turned and looked at my feet. Stomach pangs were getting stronger. I didn't care about it , l was eagerly waiting for what was coming
Before l could do anything, and completely finish the bitch, I was out of the blue quickly catapulted into the nearest tree. My head slammed against the trunk instantly. My vision went black for a split second and then came back slowly. I gagged from the luck of oxygen and my heart pounded against my chest. Suddenly a huge brown wolf stood in front of me, blocking my way.It didn't allow me to catch my breath before it barred it's canines at me. Menacing , l choked and crawled back to the tree. " Don't do anything to me, I'm not going to kill her", Recalling the way they treated me the last time I escaped , l spoke quickly. " Where did you think you were going?", Before the brown wolf could do anything to me , l heard the voice behind me. It was Mark one of the guards."Am gonna go back", l said quickly. "You can't escape, these woods , the forests are filled up with wolves, they can smell you",He smirked and eyed my body for wounds. I kept quiet feeling stupid. "Did you think that yo
