Jax knew he had made an awful mistake by saying those words and not being straightforward. The beta felt like a wreck the moment he saw how Lorraine’s face had crumbled. He had misspoken, and now she must have thought he only saw her as nothing more than a fling. He tried to explain himself, but the damage had been done. He quickly obeyed her wish to be left alone. There would be enough time to talk to her, and he would make sure to tell her his true feelings. Right now, she needed space, which gave him enough time to think too. The beta rushed outside to clear his head and get them breakfast since there wasn’t anything left in his kitchen. He dropped by the baker's shop for a fresh set of their renowned pie, with the pack members greeting him good morning. Jax halted in his steps when his eyes caught a beautiful pastel blue sundress in a shop, and a certain blonde immediately filled his mind. He headed in, even though he had no idea what he was doing, and bought many dresses
JAX'S POV After seeing Lorraine in that state, I never wanted to see her cry again. I knew there was no going back with my wolf already obsessed with her every call; I was hers before she even completely knew it. It isn’t long till I reach the station where I'm needed. Immediately seeing the hunched frame of my two friends, they both peer up at me with smug, knowing looks on their faces. And mischievous smirks I could spot even from a mile away. ”Damn..we know she’s yours, dude. Chill out,” Michael mutters first. “We can practically scent her on your skin,” he calls with arms up in surrender. ”Good,” I say, surprising them both; they must have expected me to try and deny it. But I wanted everyone to know she was mine, and I couldn’t keep myself from her anymore, not when my wolf was already so drawn to her. “I’ve lost to her, moons; I'm so in love with her; she is everything I could ever dream of, fuck,” I mutter, still in disbelief at how I’ve been truly enamo
It all felt so natural, so right, falling into each other's arms like they’d known one another for a lifetime, and with each kiss, Jax felt more completed by his omega. “You have no idea how much I love you, how much you drive me wild, Lorraine,” he muttered with a kiss to her bare shoulder. He quickly unzipped the gown, pushing it off her. The beta watched wide-eyed with desire at how confident his omega had gotten in that moment. He watched as she traced a hand from his hard pecs and abs, dipping her hands further into the water, trailing down the space between his crotch till she held his hardening cock. Jax hissed in pleasure at her touch. He watched her pupils dilate in reaction to his, and her meek honey-filled voice whispered, “Do you like this?” ”Fuck, I love everything you do, and even you—yes, just like that,” he hummed when he felt another hard squeeze to his cock; moons now she was just torturing him. “You have no idea what I want to do to you,” he whispered. ”
(EPILOGUE)..The lonely, dark halls of the Black Mountains cell were Alvira's only companions throughout the passing days; she could barely keep track of the time, day, or month.It was hell on earth, a punishment for crimes that made her feel insane, and she deserved every bit of it, especially after what she did to Alana. Some days she felt like the dark halls were haunted by her sister and Kaide’s ghost, her only companions pushing her to the edge of insanity."Just look at her," one of the guards spoke, spooked as they watched Alvira sitting quietly, composed in a way that was eerie at times, making the hair on their skin stand up. Her dark brunette hair was matted and scattered in knots, hiding her face.Her nails were tattered from incessant biting, a habit she had developed; she didn't bother responding to the guards' whispers.In the first months she'd been there, she raised hell until her throat bled, screaming to be freed, but she knew there wouldn’t be a chance. "Who woul
~~~~~~~ . (ELISE’S POV) . "Hurry, Elise, we have to leave soon!” I hear my mother's voice down the hall as I stare back at my reflection in the mirror. I put a hand to my chest to try to cool my rapidly beating heart, but how could I be calm in this situation? Especially when today was the actual day I’ve been groomed my entire life to be prepared for. I can’t believe it’s today . The day of my mating ceremony. The day I’ve been waiting for, the day that I’m supposed to do my duties as my father’s daughter, my father chief Dexton Alderman, is the beta leader of my pack, the Sivernight pack. Today was a crucial day that could lead to massive change. Ever since I was nine, I was set to be the bride of another pack when I turned nineteen, and my 19th birthday was yesterday. And everything is supposed to be perfect. I am supposed to be perfect. Year I couldn’t help a shudder runs down my spine from today’s event, was it the wedding jitters? It had to be . Especially since
ELISE I could hardly contain the agonizing scream that left me as I heard the last scream from my mother, as my father, Chief Dexton, had killed her, snapping her neck so coldly. He murdered her in cold blood the moment he learned I wasn’t his. I held the queasiness and bile at the back of my throat as I tried to pull myself up, but the hard tug on my wrist reminded me of where I was and who I was with. I could still feel my half-wolf, even though I couldn’t change or control her. I snarled out, baring my teeth and canines at Kyren, “Let me go!” “Shut the hell up; you’re mine now, so act like it.” Before I could fight back, I felt a great blow on my face. My body immediately whipped to the side as I fell face-first onto the gravel. My vision turned blurry, and the last face I saw was Kyren's smug face as his father, Jon, chuckled beside him. “Good night, sweetheart,” and the last thing I heard as my vision turned black and I lost consciousness and a burning tea
Elise could hardly take her eyes off the championed beast who emerged victor, with a fear of what’s to come. “Brilliant, isn’t it?” Kyren broke Elise out of her thoughts. She bit hard on her lips, suppressing her cries as she looked back at the heartless alpha.‘It’ she wondered, he treats people like mere tools. “I am no one’s property. You aren’t going to give me to a beastly brute to use my body how he pleases,” she spoke out, but Kyren only chuckled. He stood up from his chair and moved to her, his hand harshly molding around her nape. “Your father had all the years bragging about killing my men, I'm sure he thought a mere marriage between us will join our packs and make him more powerful, but turns out you were a failure and now you're nothing but desert for a beast to have a taste of" he muttered. "You cannot escape here. Especially When rumors of you killing your mother have spread throughout the entire realm, and the moment you leave this place, you’re a r
The harsh stench of blood and lust floated around the enclosed place from Ka’al’s rut, filling the cell the moment Elise was pushed into the metal cage. It was a much larger cell than she was used to, with no source of light or even a window in the dark space. Panic reeled and rushed through her blood as she placed her hand on the walls to find some kind of footing, moving to lean on the cold iron door. She heard a slow, low snarl from the end of the room, her body jolting in surprise. Oh gods, she didn’t realize he would appear far larger than what she saw in the arena. Now he was close to her, towering over her, making it seem like a losing battle. “No, stay away from me,” Elise whimpered, but her words could hardly come out. She felt terror seeping through her skin the moment he stood up fully. His huge build had her mind reeling. “Little wolf,” his low voice muttered as she pushed herself against the door, maybe hoping she could somehow turn invisible. But his heated b
