“No way in absolute hell are you going alone with that bastard.” Hayden’s voice echoes through the tent as Elise tells him of her agreement with Rygan. He was more than livid that she had agreed to go along with him to the human lands. “Hayden, after all I’ve been through, do you think I'd even want to be in that situation? But with the circumstances right now, I have to get Ethan back!” She argues with a soft caress to his face. “You have taught me all there is to know about human attacks and their weapons; I can handle it, Hayden,” she assures. “Then I will be going with you,” he argues as he lifts his hands to hold onto her wrist and presses a deep kiss to her palm. “I have to go with you,” he calls with a desperate tone. “You are wounded, Hayden, as pale as a ghost, and I know bits of the poison are still inside your blood. I also have to find a viable antidote to help cure you.“ "Angel, look at me. I am fine. I will heal, but I need to follow you. There is no discus
The truck starts with a rumble of the engine as the car roars to life, with Hayden at the wheels and Rygan in the front seat while Elise is in the back passenger seat. Hayden speeds through the dark road as the car is left in a tethered silence, and as much as Rygan would like to shift to his wolf rather than stay for hours in this uncomfortable contraption made by the humans, he wants to listen to Elise. Rygan’s eyes move to the rearview mirror, his gaze following Elise, who is now fast asleep. He watches the slow rise of her chest, from the curl of her long lashes to that familiar and natural pout on her lips when she is asleep. It still feels surreal that Elise is alive and he has a son with her, a son they made out of love—a love he took for granted and a love that is still alive. He can't help but imagine tasting those pillowy sweet lips, or the moans she made when they made love, her insides clenching on his cock during her climax, and how he wants so badly to leave love
An agreement was made to continue the journey after the rain let up, and Elise headed into the bathroom, leaving the alphas alone. Half an hour later, she emerged from the bathroom with her roots freshly dyed into temporary dark brown locks. With a grimace on her face, she hated every second of it. She tried not to look too much in the mirror as she reached for the door. This time she headed out of the bathroom fully dressed in a white tank top and jean shorts paired with sneakers and a checked jacket. She still couldn’t figure out why humans had impractical shoes. Was she supposed to run in these shoes? She wondered. The moment she came out, her eyes locked with Rygan, who had also changed from his pack attire to a new one: a grey shirt underneath a biker leather jacket and jeans, with Hayden wearing a black long-sleeve top. Their alpha stature made the tops appear tight compared to their towering build in those clothes. but they look as human as they could get “I’ll go d
“What the heck happened back there?” Hayden asked as he pressed the pedals of the truck, making the engine of the car speed off into the night. Elise's hands were clutched to her chest. “Do you know how dangerous that was? You could have called us!” “I am not a weak woman, Hayden,” she snapped. “The males were being disgusting, but yes, I had to start a fight to distract them,” she said to them. “That was reckless,” Rygan scolded too, and Elise was tired of hearing their nagging and answered with an eye roll. “I know, I know what I did was dangerous, but I needed to do it,” she said to both males who peered at each other before they turned to look at her. “To do what?” they asked Elise as she reached into her pockets. “This,” she said, raising her hands to show a paper she held with pride. “I overheard them; they were talking about meeting a client by the port and taking a boy as leverage with them, and I’m sure they were talking about Ethan, so we need to head to an east
The moment her eyes came across the human finger, Elise felt a sick twist of terror in her gut and heaved out all the contents of her system. Rygan rushed to her. “That’s Ethan’s clothes,” she stuttered. Her body trembled as she turned away from the severed human flesh. No, her baby boy, how could they be so cruel? She was going to kill them. Elsie felt like her sanity was leaving her until Rygan came into the room and saw her backed into a corner. Rygan rushed to the flesh; one look at it, and he rushed back to Elise, shaking her. "Elly, look at me,” he said to her. “That is not Ethan’s; that was made to scare you.” He assured her. Rygan’s face contorted with realization as he held tighter onto Elise. “They might not know it’s us, but they knew someone would be, and here, this is planned.” Elise's eyes widened. *Hayden! Hayden!* She called again, but there was no answer. They heard the sound of different feet running up the steps. And Elise knew it was armed men. But th
Kaide's POV It was all coming together; I felt like the world was at my fingertips. As I grunted in pleasure at the virus-tight walls clamped on my member, the pleasure and victory drove me on a centered high. “Ngh! Yes, Kaide, harder!” Alvira moaned under me as I pushed my member deeper into her aching hole. With her body on all fours, my hand strapped her waist and thrust into her with an animalistic pace and hunger for more. I could feel her body on the edge of pleasure and climax, and my length twitched in her just as I pushed into her sweet core for the last time and came, but the sound of a phone rang and echoed across the room, interrupting our time together as I pulled out. I took the call, expecting good news from the call I’ve been waiting for about the trap I set for Rygan, but with the first words of panic on the man’s lips, I felt that excitement die down. Alvira watched me as she took a robe and tied it around her naked body while I stood up from the bed, wra
The waves of the night sea pulled a dangerous tide, and with its steep, dark waters, two figures emerged from the water in the sunken car. At the last moment, Elise had dunked forward, hitting her head on the wheels, making her bleed and fall unconscious. Now Rygan was holding onto Elise's body, but she wasn’t moving. He panicked and rocked her side as he turned her over, her body as pale as snow. “Fuck no,” he muttered in terror as he reached for her cold cheek. Parting her lips open, he began pulsing air from his mouth into her mouth. “Come on, El,” he muttered, not wanting to lose her again. He glided their lips together again in a desperate attempt to give her air. After a few tries, her body began to twitch, and Elise croaked before her eyes shot open. She turned to the edge, throwing up all the water in her system before she began to take large gulps of air. Rygan reached towards her, pushing her hair out of her face; his eyes finally calmed in relief. “You’re ok; yo
Elise's body had begun to burn up, hotter than the warmth the flame offered. Her body still internally shivered from the cold, and Rygan didn’t expect that heavy scent that would wash over him. That familiar scent set his wolf on a feral edge instantly. Her heat, Elise, was in heat. He watched as her legs twisted, her grunts and whimpers louder as she searched for their pleasuring friction and cried when she couldn’t reach it. Elise whimpered in pain as her body sparked forward from the pain. She hadn’t had heat as intense as this in three years; she wondered what had triggered it or who. She was far from gone. Not until her wolf had smelled that mint and cedar wood scent she’d missed for years, “El?” Rygan calls her name but is replied to with another whimper. But then, an eerie silence presumed, Elise rose from her spot on the shabby, torn-up couch, her focus now directly on Rygan, and Rygan saw that she was barely in control, her human side sick from the cold and her wolf
(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
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. ”
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
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
The kiss was intoxicating; there was no end to Jax’s desperate need for more; he wanted her more than he could ever fathom. It felt like Every control he had snapped when he heard her soft voice pleading to be touched; he knew he couldn’t fight it any longer. His hand combed through her gold locks, a firm grip causing a moan from her lips. She shuddered in desire from his touch; she felt his hand trace down her naked thighs, and a whimper escaped her lips from his touch. His hands pushed firmly on her tiny back, trailing into her shirt, touching the small expanse of her back and finding that sensitive spot on her skin that had Lorraine arching until her back pressed against the bed, leaving her a whimpering mess. She pushed Jax closer, feeling his other hand trail to her aching sex. She watched him, unblinking from his gaze, their breaths mingled and gaze locked with one another. “I'm going to put a finger in, okay, sweetheart?” He muttered with a kiss pressed to her button no
The beta scolds himself with a curse, mortified that he said something so obscene. But when he peered at Lorraine, looking at how innocent her gaze was, she hadn't understood the complication of the words he said. He was thankful but still mortified. Jax then quickly settled himself on the island table as they both munched on their food; he quietly watched the female, satisfied as Lorraine ate with a full appetite. A deep primal part of him was happy that he cooked for her. But the reason she could eat so well was that Jax assured her that Nora would be fine with Abby and was in great care. That calmed her; she felt so happy and relieved in this moment that she finally let her scent waft across the room; it made the beta visibly stiffen. Her jasmine scent wafted across the room, making the beta wolf alert and thrash around, yearning to be closer. That’s when he realized why her scent was so sweet and alluring. “You... are an omega?” he called in surprise, and for a moment, he
The walk back to Jax's home was quiet and more awkward than he anticipated, but mostly since he was trying hard not to stare at Lorraine while they walked to his cabin. "Fuck this," he thought; his wolf was barely in control, his desire to touch her and know what she tasted like underneath all her clothes was more than tempting, but right now he could barely see her face under the cloak. "Um, I don’t think I thanked you for this." "You did," he cut in quickly, and for a short moment their gaze locked; he could see a blush on her cheek spread before she turned away. Why did she choose me? He couldn’t help wondering; he barely recalled opening the doors to his home with Lorraine trailing in after him. “And don’t worry too much about your sister; she is in great hands, and Abby will take care of her, but now you need to take care of yourself. You need rest,” he adds. “Thank you..” “Jax, my name is Jax Kullin.” He tells her he could see interest glistening in her gaze, with
(Side story) JAX'S POV. . . There was a time when anyone could try to tell me true love was real, and I'd fall for it; and all the more, having a fated mate was unheard of, a love was so strong like my parents who died in each other's arms during the war 20 years ago. I couldn’t fathom what kind of love would bring someone to their knees and, all the more, die for their partner. I and my best friends have always joked about never falling in love so desperately for anyone, yet my best friend Hayden was an exception none of us ever expected. He was a goner for Elise the moment he met her. I could see why he loved her, though it took time for her to trust us. I could see the ease in her eyes, and the walls crumbled when Hayden was there. But it was never as intense as what my friend felt. Hayden, who loved El with all his heart and died for that said love, broke me beyond words when I heard the news of his death from Holden; none of us could believe it, no
Rygan was more than aroused for his mate; his tongue dipped into her coated entrance for a taste of more; he sucked and lapped greedily on her sex, causing a moan to erupt from Elise's lips from his merciless intrusion into her sex; his tongue was like a drug driving her mad. "Fuck. My love, you taste amazing," he muttered, her sex clenched from the feel of his heated breath fanning her folds, she moans out in pleasure, grabbing tight to the sheets for her dear life. There was barely an intrusion other than his tongue yet; but Rygan's tongue alone had made her climax, and now the alpha lapped at her sex like a thirsty man. She let out a cry from the intrusion of his thick finger. The pleasure felt like a torturous drag in her walls, her back arching from stimulation when another thick finger was added to her wet heat. "Look at how tight you are for me; you taste like honey; my cock would feel good inside you," he growls with a bite to her inner thigh. She flinches from his
