All InCoalThe look of desperation etched in Brinley's eyes, had me on edge.She'd been calm, sitting next to me, talking.And then she wasn't calm anymore...She jumped to her feet, hissing, "No!" Her Wolf near the surface, her outlined blurred, she paced like a wild animal caught in a cage.I tried to speaking soothingly. "I'll be okay...I promise you."She spun to face me, "No! That's not what I'm talking about!"I blinked, confused by her words. I assumed she was worried about my sparring with three Onyx Moon warriors. What else was there? I replayed our conversation in my mind, trying to find the cause of her distress. What had I missed?She didn't wait for me to figure it out. She ranted on, "It doesn't matter if you can beat three, or even more, wolves in a fight because no matter what, the odds are not in your favor! Not when the fight is against your father. I can't let you do this. I won't! You're not going to die because of me!"The irony.It was the same thing I'd said ab
That just caused the hardening in my pants to increase tenfold.. Our little mate was stubborn. Brinley should have listened to my unspoken warning. I wasn't going to hold back anymore.Reaching down, I palmed her femininity between her legs, holding her tight."Ah!!" a sharp gasp came from her lungs. She stopped fighting me, her chest heaving. Her entire body quivered.I turned our bodies and forced her to walk backward toward the bed. She stumbled slightly, but my grip on the apex between her legs, kept her exactly where I wanted her..My voice was low and husky, "I can feel your wetness through the fabric." To emphasize my words, I curled my fingers, tickling her intimately."Coal!" she cried out.More, more, more! Make her scream it! My wolf howled in my head.The back of her calves bumped up against the side of the bed. I moved my hand out from between her thighs and lifted her onto the soft surface, climbing on top of her.Using my knee to nudge her legs open, I settled between t
Beautiful MemoriesCoalDarcie looked at the group in contemplation and murmured, "While we wait for Langdon's friends to arrive, I'd like to speak with Coal alone. Langdon, could you take Brinley to the north gardens? The fresh layer of snow has made the view quite beautiful."Oh, hell no, that wasn't happening. I bristled at the idea of Brinley being anywhere alone with Langdon. My spine straightened. A low rumble released from my chest, and I tightened my hold on her hand.In her usual intuitive fashion, Darcie eyed me and asked, "Coal, do you trust your mate?"I froze. The bluntness of her question washed over me, forcing me to consider my words before I answered. Did I trust Brinley?The mate attraction was hard to describe, but I could almost feel her heartbeat next to mine in my chest. She had given me no reason for mistrust. I answered carefully, "Yes...it is Langdon I'm not sure of."Langdon smirked. Darcie didn't appear to be the least bit offended at my words. Her tone was
TrainingBrinleyLangdon and I sat outside on a back porch overlooking the north garden. Darcie had just efficiently dismissed us so she could speak with Coal alone. I was surprised Coal had relinquished me so easily into Langdon's care.Well in truth, he hadn't, not until Darcie convinced him. Her presence and wisdom seemed to have a calming effect on him. Still, it was surprising behavior for any alpha wolf to go against their instincts based on the word of another wolf.But Darcie wasn't just any other wolf. She was special. Coal had lost his mother even younger than me. I wondered if he too felt the same motherly connection to Darcie that I did.I stared out at the snow-covered landscape, the white powder providing a glistening shine as the bright sun reflected off of its surface. Darcie had been right. It was beautiful.Langdon was still. From my peripheral vision, I could see him studying me. After a moment of comfortable silence between us, he murmured, "Are you happy?"I glanc
I twisted my head around to find two large males entering through the back gate. The taller of the two stood around six feet, older, probably mid-thirties, and broad-chested, with dark hair and dark eyes.The other was shorter, but not by much, less than an inch. His boyish features and the mischievous glint in his sparkling hazel eyes made him appear surprisingly young to have already achieved the status of an Enforcer. He sported dark ginger locks in careless disarray on his head, pointing every which way, adding to his boyish charm.They both shared equally wide grins, obviously excited for their task at hand. Their levity was a welcome change to the seriousness of my situation, and I found myself smiling in return. Langdon also seemed to lose some of his tension.As they walked up the steps to the porch, Langdon introduced them, nodding toward the older wolf first. "Brinley, this is Daniel and Jax."I extended my hand, and they each shook it in turn. "It's nice to meet you. Thank
By thirty minutes into the training, my nerves were a wreck, and I was seriously reconsidering if I made the right decision to stay and watch.As anticipated, they were loud. Thunderous growls echoed off the walls of the enclosed space as they sparred. The Onyx Moon Enforcers moved and fought fluidly as a unit, almost one mind in three bodies.I was sure they were communicating via mindlink, but their reactions were so fast, there was no way they were a result of particular orders. It was obvious they were familiar with each other's strengths and used them to their prime advantage. When one fell away, the other two surged forward, always targeting Coal's blind or weak spots.Coal held his own, darting, spinning and jabbing with incredible speed. But there was blood. A lot of it. All four had taken direct hits, splattering the crimson liquid in every direction.I had never seen Coal fight before and was shocked at his fast response and strength. My Wolf purred in my head. She had no pr
My TurnBrinleyCoal held my hand as we walked through the woods. The crisp winter air between us sparked with electricity. Dusk shadowed the landscape as the Moon began her appearance on the horizon, giving the foliage around us a soft glow. After a few minutes of silence, Coal murmured, "Why did you blush when Amber arrived?"Ah, crap. I'd hoped Coal might forget about my little reaction to the newcomer, so I wouldn't have to share my embarrassing story. I certainly planned never to mention it again. But no such luck.I cringed. He stared down at me with an inquisitive expression and encouraged, "It can't be that bad.""Yes it can," I muttered, looking down to avoid his gaze.He pulled me to a stop and turned me to face him. Concern turned his features hard as he demanded forcefully, "What did she do to you?"The feral tone of his words caught my attention. My head snapped up, now worried for her safety. "Nothing!"His shoulders relaxed. I sighed heavily, resigned to my fate of havi
He gently pulled my lip from my deny his impassioned plea. I didn't want to. He was right, he was my other half, and I wouldn't hold back from him. I pulled him down so we could sit on the floor. I sat with my legs crossed, my hands in my lap. He faced me with his knees bent, his feet resting on the ground on either side of my hips. He gathered my hands, his fingers gently massaging my skin.The waterfall provided soothing background noise as I gave in, telling him about my childhood and the struggles I faced. Even though the words flowed freely, I kept my head down, staring at the dirt floor as I recounted the torment and my pain. Coal said nothing. He just listened, his fingers continuing to rub and sooth my hands. After several minutes of explanation and his absolute silence, I risked a glance up to his face and gasped.His expression was murderous."Coal?" I whispered tentatively. "Are you okay?"He hadn't given away his fury while I spoke, but there was no hiding his rage now. Hi
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
