Resisting The Mate Bond 52
Their gazes locked and the world paused.Breeana's grip on her towel tightened as she saw her mate for the first time in days.She had been avoiding him. What else could she have done? Even if all she wanted to do had been to run to him and beg him to be hers and hers alone. She couldn't be selfish yet she knew that seeing him would weaken her resolve.Maybe she would have changed her mind if she hadn't entered the pack house to find out that Reece had given in and decided to choose a consort. Her replacement.It had hurt to hear it. Hurt so much that she thought she would die from the pain.So she had avoided him. She only came out of the connecting room after she was sure he had left the room or gone to bed.Breeana had spoken to Alex immediately after she had heard the news before he did something crazy like telling Reece everything.Alex understood why she was hiding the truth, Ari was his sister as well and the last thing he wanted was for her to get booted out of the pack or wor

Breeana had a headache as stood in the clearing waiting for her mate to come and pick his consort. The rest of the pack stood waiting for him as well. The unmated eligible she-wolves who were interested in being Reece's consort stood facing the crowd, their gowns long and billowy with the evening breeze.Reece was yet to arrive so the ceremony couldn't begin yet so the wolves still mingled, making small talk.Maybe like her, he wanted to say to hell with the wants of their pack. Maybe he wanted to stay by her side only despite everything."Breeana, are you alright?" Sarah asked, her face was pinched with worry.Breeana tried to muster up a smile to ease Sarah's worry. She was pregnant, negative emotions could affect the baby."I'm great."Sarah didn't look too convinced. How could she? Which person would be happy, great, as she had claimed, seeing their true mate pick a consort? Nobody that was who."I don't believe any of the rumours the wolves are peddling. You would never cheat on

Reece sat in his study. He had to leave the room once he was sure that Breeana didn't recoil or sob at the severance of contact between them.He hesitated then poured himself a drink. He needed it. It had taken all his willpower to leave that room before he did something both of them would regret.When Breeana had looked at him with so much need, even though he knew that wasn't what she wanted truly and it was as a result of the heat, he couldn't have minded one bit, he'd wanted to respond to her advances.He had settled for getting into the bed with her and letting her cuddle with him, her body pressed flush to him, thinking that would be enough. It wasn't. She began to touch him and rub her body suggestively against his making the most arousing sounds that went straight to his dick as she moved.He tightened his arms around her middle to stop her movement but it only emboldened her to rub herself against his thigh in an attempt to get off.Reece shuddered with need and raised himsel

Breeana woke up feeling cheated. Her mind felt woozy and she had trouble focusing her thoughts.Reece, she thought and latched on to that thought. Her core tightened in response. He had pulled dominance on her. She was so getting back at him.She sat up on the bed and pulled at her clothes feeling uncomfortably hot and itchy. She pulled off her clothes feeling much better afterwards. Why did she put up with those uncomfortable things again?She paced the room naked. He should have been back already. She wanted to go to his office, drag him back to the room - they could stay there if he preferred - pull off his clothes and– she scented him.He was almost at the door. She thought quickly. If he saw that she wanted to jump him, he would pull his dominance on her and although she knew that she would fight harder this time, she didn't want to take the risk.She kicked her clothes underneath the bed and tucked herself securely under the duvet. The door of the room opened and she pretended t

Breeana lived in a dream she didn't want to wake up from.A dream where Reece touched her with reckless abandon and she let him gasping, wanting and needing as he took her to heights of pleasure she could have never imagined existed.They had sex, showered, ate, and slept - not always in that order before rinsing and repeating it all again. The world must have ceased to exist because Reece was her world, her air, her life.His kisses were her sustenance, his touches a drug she was addicted to. The sex was phenomenal and life-changing. That must have been why she couldn't seem to have any control over herself or the situation. Not that she wanted any.It was a dream, the last thing she wanted was to change anything.Because to wake up would be to wake up into a world where Reece couldn't stand her because she cheated on him. To wake up would be to face the expectations of a pack that was tired of having her as a Luna and unable to oust her due to technicalities. To wake up would mean t

Reece felt Breeana melt against him as he kissed her. She felt warm, soft and small against him. He felt his protective instincts flare up. He would protect her at all costs.Breeana pulled away and looked at him as though he was a dream made manifest.He dropped one more kiss on her lips and another on her forehead unable to help himself where she was concerned.Breeana grappled for words and he felt her emotions along the bond. Surprise, disbelief, want and then an odd sense of shame came upon her."But how could you love me?" She sounded combative now as though he was joking. "I betrayed your trust. Cheated with someone else, the pack mistrusts me and want you to take a consort because any child I have with you wíll be suspected of dubious parentage."Tears streaked her cheeks. It would seem that she really believed that she had cheated on him.Reece paused, his mind racing."Did you really cheat on me with him? Did you sleep with him?"Breeana turned away from him as though in pai

Breeana didn't know how exactly Reece has guessed it so easily but she knew he knew what Ariana had done.His face transformed with rage so bright and furious that she felt an echo of it in her chest. It was the mate bond. She could now feel his emotions.Did it go both ways? From all she had heard about the mate bond, it most likely did. Was that how he'd discovered the truth about Ari?Reece let her go and opened his wardrobe and pulled out a shirt to put on looking more than a little angry."Reece. Reece, where are you going?"He pulled the shirt on ignoring her and started towards the door. Breeana blocked his path."Answer me for goddess sake, Reece!""Where do you think I am going? She assaulted the Luna of her pack, for this kind of capital offence there only suitable punishments are death or banishment. I have tolerated Ariana for far too long, today, she will get her comeuppance. Let me through, Breeana."Breeana shook her head as she balanced on unsteady feet. After all she

Reece was absent from work again. Alex sat in the seat opposite Reece's empty one as he worked on the reports. It meant his sister was still in heat. None of them went to see her because they knew it was only her mate who could reduce the pain for her but he had seen Ari leaving Reece's office the other day with pink-tinged cheeks and Reece's scent on her skin.Then he'd confronted her."What do you think you are doing, Ariana? Our baby sister is in pain and you are trying to make a move on her mate?"Ariana hadn't always been like this. She had been soft and compassionate once upon a time. It would seem like that time was so far gone that he couldn't trace it.Ariana looked like she was considering denying his accusations but then pushed right through like she couldn't have cared less about his opinion."And so what? I have been in pain for years and no one cared about it. She definitely didn't care about my pain when she went off to mark my mate."She shrugged off his grip and walke

Six Years Later"Can I take you to lunch?"Sarah threw a mean left hook that had Jared struggling to keep his balance. He always favoured his right a little bit too much."No.""Sarah…"She didn't let him continue before releasing a barrage of blows that got his head back into the fight and away from emotional talks.An hour later, she was walking out of the training centre with a bag slung over her shoulder after her shower."Sarah, please wait up."She didn't. She kept walking because she really didn't want to have this conversation. He easily caught up to her though with his long legs."So off to pick up Cole?"Sarah stopped walking."What do you want? Please speak directly."Jared looked at her with hurt brown eyes that eerily reminded her of Allen."I'm trying to have a conversation with you, Sarah.""And I'm trying not to. We train together. That's all.""It doesn't have to be. We can be friends–""I apologise for my mistake. I shall find another trainer." Sarah nodded brusquely

Breeana opened her eyes and nearly screamed.Reece. She had to get to Reece. But what could she do on her own?No, if there was one thing that Anya had thought of her it was that she needed backup. She knew that Reece and the others had a contingency plan where their forces could charge in and rescue them but that plan had relied on the use of their pack links.She didn't even know where the forces were situated. Reece hadn't told her and she hadn't thought to ask."What do I do? What should I do?"She paced the length of her room and then inspiration struck. Of course. How could she have forgotten?Sarah. She would know.*****"We need to get to them now."Sarah had known. She had known that something like this would happen. She had suspected it and now Allen was trapped in a room with Damien she would have felt fear if there was time.Every minute she dawdled was time that Allen couldn't afford especially with the vendetta that Damien had against him."I know where they are camped a

Breeana puked again and her belly contracted in response. She was in the bathroom for another hour or so before she felt strong enough to make her way out.She had woken up with morning sickness and by God, it wasn't what it was hyped up to be.She hadn't even been able to wish Reece goodbye properly and she knew that if the coronation hadn't been that day he would have stayed with her until she felt better.She was barely seated on her bed before she felt a tug on the bond. It wasn't unusual these days for her to feel that way but what made her pause was the fact that Reece was in a closed-door meeting with a cold-blooded murderer. Relaxing herself, she let herself drift until she connected with him and then she was…******"Today we are here for something momentous. Because for the first one in centuries, we will be welcoming in a monarch. Someone who will lead us through these dark abysmal times."Reece sat in his seat exchanging side glances with some of his allies. Adelaide looke

"You are asking me to stay behind?" Breeana glared at Reece, she couldn't believe that mere days ago she had cried and wished desperately that he would wake up.Now she felt the almost stifling urge to suffocate him. Ugh. He was so annoying and so obstinate that it was a marvel that they were still together.Truly."I just want you to stay safe while all this is going on." He leaned in and dropped a kiss on her forehead before touching her belly. "You and our child."Breeans pulled away before she would melt against his concern and sweet words the way she had been melting for the past few days since he woke up.Suffice to say that their fight had been long forgotten almost immediately after he woke up and she kissed him like the weirdo she was.No, Breeana do not think of kisses. She chided herself. Or of all the other things he had done to her and she had done to him."So I'm supposed to just sit in my hands while all the men I care about go off to fight a maniac? Come on, Reece. I'

"You shacked up with a council member?"Breeana looked at Sarah shocked beyond belief.Sarah blushed. "I didn't know that at first."Breeana kept staring at her."And he's Cole's dad?""Yes."When Breeana had come to threaten Sarah to talk to her the last thing she had thought of was this.Sarah had taken one look at her thunderous expression and scented the blood on her before letting her in and telling her what had to be the surprising thing that Breeana had heard since the beginning of this fiasco."Bloody hell, does Allen know about this?" Was she the only one to be blindsided by all this?"I… I haven't gotten around to telling him I guess I just wanted it to go away." Sarah brushed her hair out of her face. "He's the only father that Cole will ever have. The only father I want my child to have. I thought if I ignored it, it would stay that way."Breeana looked at her like she had hit her head on the wall one too many times. Wanted what to go away? For all they knew this was proba

The ambush was quiet, this was their land after all. They knew every nook and cranny of it and more than that they were preternaturally quick and quiet. The hunters on the other hand were loud and clumsy in comparison. They must have thought they would take their pack the way they had taken the others.They were wrong.As the hunters sat around their campfire, discussing their strategy for the upcoming attack, they surrounded them."We enter from the north and–"Allen gave the signal and they attacked.The hunters quickly reached for their weapons, but they were too slow and the werewolves were too fast. They pounced on the hunters, their razor-sharp claws tearing through flesh and bone.The hunters fought back with guns and knives, but they were no match for the werewolves' supernatural strength and agility.The air was filled with the sound of snarling and screaming as the werewolves tore apart their prey. The hunters tried to retreat, but the werewolves were relentless, chasing the

Poison.The word resounded over and over in her head long after Reece had been wheeled into the ER.Someone had poisoned him.She felt a touch on her shoulder. It was Sarah."It's going to be fine, Bree." She comforted her, her voice low and compassionate.Only that was a farce, wasn't it?A terrible suspicion bloomed in her mind as she turned on Sarah. She had been there last night and suddenly Reece got poisoned. She didn't think it was a coincidence.Breeana gripped her by her throat watching her choke."It was you wasn't it?" Breeana squeezed harder, her vision going red. They had granted her mercy and she had gone and done this.Reece was… her mate was…. Just when she had wanted to give their relationship another shot. It was almost too cruel."I swear…" Sarah coughed trying to breathe through the strangling sensation around her throat where Breeana held her immobile."Don't fucking lie to me. You are still in contact with your people, right? You didn't tell Allen everything, did

"We should just execute her and be done with it." Breeana said offhandedly and Reece stifled a laugh."Sure. Any more unreasonable requests you would like to add?"Breeana mock glared at him but a smile peeked through. She was surprised that they could even joke about this. The moment she had seen Ivy she had frozen thinking about the last time they had seen each other.Ivy didn't try to attack them or even struggle. She just turned herself in and allowed herself to be detained. Breeana and Reece had been shocked to hear that she had lost her pregnancy and that she was willing to sell her father and his moles in their pack out in exchange for her freedom."Why did you even bother coming back? You could have just stayed in Europe. There is no way we would have tracked you down." Breeana asked her still suspicious about her return and willingness.Ivy locked gazes with her. "I don't fancy being a fugitive for a murder I didn't even commit and I refuse to be used as a chess piece in my f

Breeana looked at Reece suddenly unable to speak as he walked towards her with the bottle hanging limply from his hand.He reached her.She didn't know what to expect. No, that was wrong. She did know what to expect. It was Reece after all. He would yell at her and question her about why she hid it from him and then he'd–Reece fell on his knees and pressed his ear against her belly, his arms encircling her waist delicately.Breeana froze as he listened for the heartbeat of their child and he reacted in the most peculiar way that she could never have anticipated.He began to cry.Not loudly but softly. Breeana was confused but tried to comfort him in her own way by cradling his head against her belly.And for some minutes they stayed that way. They just stood and it was okay. Strange but okay."I'm sorry, Bree. Sorry that I made you feel the need to hide this from me."Oh, Reece. How could he be so uptight and downright annoying sometimes only to soften up and be nice later? She felt
