Liam's POVDinner was great. Zeke overcooked. Well, I wouldn't say he overcooked since there was nothing left of the huge heap of food he had cooked. He had cooked that much for a reason and judging by the bright smile on his face as he looked at the empty plates on the table, I was sure that he was glad he had done that.I patted my belly, feeling full. It was the long time that I had eaten so much in a long while. We had always had to be conscious of eating too much from our food storage of canned meals as we knew we had a long way to go and there was no store around to get food for."Thanks for the meal." I said, bowing to Zeke.He smiled, nodding his head at me. "I am glad you are all okay."We were more than okay if he wanted the truth."I didn't know you could cook this much." Ella said, teasing her dad.Zeke chuckled. "Should I tell you a secret?""What is it?" Ella asked, leaning forward.I was curious to know what the secret was but I didn't lean forward like she did. I kept
Maya's POV"Let's wrap this up quickly. We have to train the wolf pups before it gets too dark. I hate sending those kids home late in the night." I said to the six ladies around me.Someone snickered not too far from me but I knew who it was, even without turning my head. It wasn't anyone other than Selene and her two friends; Sarah and Sasha. The three mischievous and bitter snakes as I liked to call them and tell my best friend, Khloe.I wondered if their parents had known what they were going to become and that was why they had named them by the first letter of a snake. I wondered what kind of snakes they would be if they really were one. Would they be anacondas, pythons or cobras? I shook my head, hating that I had poor knowledge about the crawling reptiles.I narrowed my eyes at them, squinting at their tiny forms which were too small for even for a growing wolf much more a mature female Wolfe and agreed that they had to be rattlesnakes. That was what they were, judging by how s
Ella's POV"Don't worry, Luna. We can do it." Caleb said as I tried to pick a wood and he quickly collected it from me.I rolled my eyes at him and groaned. "Not you too. I've had enough from the men of the blood moon pack.""Calling you a Luna?" He chuckled. "Isn't that what you are? When were you going to tell me you were the mate of the alpha of the blood moon pack?"I shrugged. "Maybe never.""You are mean, Luna.""Don't call me, that. You can call me Ella or Anna, whichever you find comfortable and you should stop treating me as a weakling." I said and picked up another wood to prove my point.His eyes widened and he chuckled as understanding dawned in his eyes. "Oh! You were talking about that?""Yes. This." I said, moving forward with the wood.I hadn't moved far before Damien collected the wood from me. "You should rest, Luna."I sighed, throwing my hands up in frustration. "Are you boys ever going to let me do anything?"They looked at one another, looked at me and then shook
Ella's POV"You can go back to the living room." Dad said thirty-five minutes after we have entered the kitchen. "I can do the rest by myself.""Let's do it together." I replied, not wanting to go back to the living room now and be idle or listen to the guys talk. I love being busy.He smiled and shook his head. "You should go. There is nothing much to do here anyways. We just have to leave the food to cook."I sighed. I shouldn't have been stubborn when he had explained that. "Okay, dad. Be out soon.""I will be right after you." He nodded.I walked out of the kitchen and found Kevin waiting by the door. Even though I knew he was there waiting for me, I walked past him as if I didn't know he was there."Ella," he called out, walking after me.I pretended not to hear him. He rushed towards me and I gasped as I felt his hand on mine, yanking me towards him and turned me to face him."Are you still mad at me?" He asked, staring into my eyes.Uh? I melted as I stared into his eyes. I for
Kevin's POVI was glad that she wasn't mad at me anymore. I still itched to kiss her though and fought hard to not look at her lips. It was a good thing that we had been interrupted or I didn't know how far I would have taken the kiss. I wanted her in my bed and under my skin.I smiled as we walked to meet the others, hoping that the throbbing erection that I felt wasn't bulging out of my trousers. That would be awkward to explain. How could I tell them that we were only talking if I had my penis strutting out of my pants and begging to be out?Yeah, that must have been one intense conversation. The lips had worked so much. I could imagine and hear the responses of the men in my head.We joined the others and they raised their heads up as they sensed us. I raised my head up, daring my men to say a word.Some of them swallowed as they looked away and I knew that they had understood the signal I had given them and would stick to the warning. Ella was already worried of what they would t
Kevin's POV"Let's do this." I shouted at the men, cheering them on. "Let's do this one more round."The men groaned but it wasn't because they were complaining but were tired. I knew they were tired but they also knew as much as I did why we had to keep training even if our bones are dying in pain and begging us for some minutes of rest.I was tired as well but couldn't afford to stop because of what was at stake. I had no doubt that Kenneth of a bastard was planning something disastrous and we couldn't afford to slack on building our strength and training our muscles harder, knowing that we would be outnumbered.I wouldn't be surprised if he came and hunted us down with all his soldiers. He always seemed to go overboard with everything that he did. Even if he came with a quarter of his soldiers, we were still outnumbered, considering that we weren't up to twenty here and couldn't ask for help from our packs.I couldn't ask for help to fight this war because I didn't want my people i
Ella's POVThe men were back. I ran towards the house, heading away from the training ground where I had been with my father as soon as I heard the news.I was relieved that they were back and safe, knowing how worried Kevin had been for the past few days. He had pretended like he hadn't been worried, busy training the men and doing everything to get his mind off the impending war and the men he had sent out back home but he couldn't hide his emotions from me just as I couldn't hide mine from him.Relax, you will fall. You are running too fast.I snorted at Lucy's warning. She didn't just tell me that, knowing how the past few days had been for both me and Kevin.I could feel her rolling her eyes but she didn't say anything else. I also wanted to roll my eyes at her but refrained from doing that, realizing that she was only teasing me.I knew she missed me and was trying to get my attention by teasing me but this wasn't the time. I hadn't talked with Lucy in the past few days because
Ella's POVI bit down gently on my lower lip as I stared at him and wasn't surprised when his attention moved there. He looked back at my face, his eyes clouding with desire but he didn't make a move towards me.I wasn't bothered. If he needed more nudge, then so be it."You should dress up." He said but he didn't move away from me."You think?" I asked, running my tongue over my lip.He groaned. "Ella,""We still have twenty minutes." I reminded him, moving closer to him."We do." He agreed, letting go of his hesitation and drawing me closer.I moaned as his lips crashed on mine and held tightly to his shirt as I kissed him back. I let my towel fall and he groaned, his eyes widening as he saw me entirely naked."Ella!" He breathed. "You are beautiful." His compliment was a caress on my skin.I felt beautiful and sexy by the look in his eyes. His eyes seemed to worship me as they traveled all across my body, roving over my breasts till they got all the way down.I didn't think I could
