Resisting The Mate Bond 58
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

Reece woke up with his mate in his arms and realized that he could get used to this. To the warm press of flesh against his, to her event mingling with his, to the little sounds she made while she slept. He inhaled deeply, her scent making him feel warm all over.He wanted nothing more than to stay in bed with her but he had to get back to work. He had left the running of the pack unattended for too long. He must have troubled Alex and Allen a lot.The problem was that now he had to decide on what he would do with Ariana, the treacherous snake that was his mate's sister.Reece disentangled himself from Breeana and went to take a shower, his mind moving rather quickly as he thought of the ways he could punish Ariana without causing Breeana any grief. His mate was a good person. He wished she weren't so good. It would have made making this decision much easier.He was pulling on his clothes when she woke up.He wasn't looking at her or even actively monitoring the mate bond. He just kne

Sarah felt like a trap was constricting around her. If she tried to kill Ariana in her house, the scent would be damning evidence. The pregnancy had reduced her flexibility. Her ankles were swollen enough that she couldn't run much less drag a body.No. Her plan to get rid of Ariana would require a little more finesse.She had been up most of the night thinking up a storm on how to keep her hide safe.Pacing, she placed her index finger in her mouth and bit her nail. She would have used Ariana to acquire the information she needed to keep herself alive if only Breeana hadn't gone into heat.Everything was so messy right now and it was that Breeana's fault. Sarah would break her back coming up with great plans only for that girl to come in and ruin everything. Unintentionally at that. How insulting.There was nothing to be done. She had to do this through the dangerous method that she'd pushed off as a last resort. She had no choice but to take the bull by the horns.Sarah took a showe

Breeana exchanged glances with her mate then they both looked at Allen whose face was coloured in embarrassment although he looked like he wanted to go after Sarah.Wow. That had been… unexpected. Sarah and Allen. She had thought that Sarah was still grieving Damien but then again she of all people knew how unpredictable love could be. Although this seemed more like a fatal attraction to her."So…" Reece said, his eyebrow arched."So…" Breeana said, hers arched even higher."Nothing." Allen rubbed the back of his head looking rather uncomfortable and as though he was looking for a way out. He cleared his throat."I came to tell you that Callie and Nelson are back."Breeana's eyes widened in shocked delight and she squealed. They were back! All thoughts of questioning and teasing the hell out of Allen fell to the back of her mind.Why hadn't Callie sent word about their imminent return? Probably to surprise her. Well, she was more than duly surprised."Reece, I have to go and see her."

Reece woke up with a jolt. He hadn't been asleep for more than a few minutes. There was a breach.Breeana sat up next to him blearily."Reece?"He was already standing up from the bed."Get to the safe house. We are under attack. The rogues just hit us."Breeana gasped lightly and straightened, picking up her discarded clothes in a hurry."The safe house? Like hell, I'm going to hide. I'm coming with you."Reece pulled on his shirt over his shorts. "I have alerted Allen and Alex. Allen is gathering the women and children of the pack in the safe house. I need you to go there."Breeana came in front of him, her eyes sparkling."Don't ask me to do this, Reece. Not again. The last time…"Shawn had happened.Reece inhaled deeply and pulled her close, dropping a kiss on her forehead before embracing her."Please baby, do this for me. The rogue's numbers are the highest we've seen in a really long time. I need you to keep our people safe. If you fight next to me, I'll be unable to focus on a

Ivy stood opposite Breeana on the platform. She looked cocky. Her father was an elder, she had probably gotten training since before she could even walk.Breeana on the other hand had been more medically inclined and been coddled by her father since she was his last pup. Her father who was currently guarding the safe house while Ivy ran her mouth.Breeana went at her so fast that Ivy did not expect it but she quickly got her feet underneath her. She lunged at Breeana. Breeana sidestepped it, her movements fluid and loosening up, her leg stretching out to kick out her feet from beneath her.Ivy saw the move coming and leapt back to avoid it then came at her even harder, her claws out as she moved into a partial shift. Breeana centered her core as they moved around the podium.Block, strike, duck, strike. The only sounds Breeana could hear were the sound of their breathing and her pulse racing out of control.Reece was fighting, dying and all she could do was trade blows with an immatur

"We have a mole."This was not how Breeana had envisioned being woken up while recovering from a rather violent attack that had just barely been salvaged by the emergence of unlikely allies.It turned out that Zinora had called on the Primo pack to assist them. That was the reason why Breeana had been unable to locate her at the safe house.Adelaide had then gone on to invite some other neighbouring packs to help them pay their blood debt to the Mountain Coast pack. Between that and forgiving Reece for Shawn, they were pretty much even at this point. Reece had gone on to allow Allen to go for the recon. It turned out that before the attack he had volunteered for it. If he had been allowed to leave earlier, this entire fiasco could have been avoided. The deaths, injuries and losses.Breeana considered her family lucky to have left the battle with little more than injuries."A mole?" Breeana echoed.What mole? How was that even relevant to what had happened? No one could have known th

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
