The Alpha's scent was so intense that my body was just doing what came naturally I figured. Grayson was a perfect man physically. I'd seen nude males before and he was very fit and well-built. When his lips touched mine so perfectly I felt the agonizing feeling wane but knew I needed more. Grayson settled between my legs and I stared up into his eyes once the tip of his hot flesh pressed against my opening. He pushed in abruptly causing me to wince as he hit my barrier. He looked down at me in confusion then closed his eyes and rested his forehead on mine."I'm going to mark you again as I tear your innocence, Violet. You may bite me if you feel the urge," he said softly and I nodded feeling odd. He nuzzled my neck and placed tender kisses and licks on my flesh. It felt euphoric and I was grinning until his teeth sank into my flesh and he thrust in completely. I gasped and he stilled, letting my body adjust to the intrusion."You are an amazing woman, Violet, and very lovely," he said
I left my tiny mate in anger. My wolf growled at me within my subconscious for being so cold. Her thinking we had a relationship caused me to roll my eyes. I wouldn't tie myself down to another. I'd done that and had been burned severely. No female would get my heart again. I trusted no woman…they were all untrustworthy. I ran up my stairs and shifted before the door wrapping the robe I'd left earlier around myself. When I entered Mabel was waiting anxiously. "Where is she?" She questioned me and I glared at her and told her she chose to stay at her mother's old home. Mabel shook her head and eyed me strangely."You mated with her. She is now yours, mine, and the pack's Luna and you simply left her all alone without guards in the clearing? Goddess, you are truly as stupid as you are handsome," she scolded and I walked past her, ignoring her tirade."She wanted to take our relationship slowly," I grunted."So you just used the poor thing to get your dick wet? Is that it Forest? You'r
I woke up strapped face down on a metal table, legs spread, and felt something tickling my bare ass. I tried to glance behind myself."Stay still, little one. I'm trying to decide if I want to fuck or eat your sweet derriere," Godfrey hummed."I'd prefer neither, Alpha sir," I said firmly and he smacked my butt with a quick flick of his wrist. I winced and he chuckled. "Who's to say I haven't already done the dastardly deed," he growled, running a feather-ended flexible piece of plastic up my inner thigh. Gooseflesh spread across my skin and I whimpered. "I think I'll flay the creamy flesh from your back then flip you over and remove your remaining breast," he stated gleefully as he came before me stroking himself. I swallowed nervously as I tried to pull myself free from the restraints when he walked back around, out of my view."Feel free to scream your lungs off, darling," he growled sadistically as the first lash tore across my back. He whipped me until I lost my voice and tears
Mabel came in not long after my mate left and I wiped my eyes, gritting my teeth at the pain it caused me to move my arms. "I overheard the Alpha. He was very worried about you dear and isn't angry with you or you being his mate. He's angry with himself and his lack of making arrangements to keep you safe. He feels that he failed you," she said solemnly. I exhaled deeply and asked her why he didn't tell me that himself instead of yelling at me like a hateful prick. She grinned slightly and didn't reply but asked me if I wanted to be propped up against the pillows and headboard. "I suppose I'll need to move around eventually so sure," I mumbled sourly and she grabbed all of Grayson's pillows and stuffed them against the headboard. The scent of my mate permeated the room and I frowned, finding that I missed the obnoxious man. I glanced down at my bare chest as Mabel helped lift me against the mound of pillows."Do you think you can handle a t-shirt against your back? I can bring you o
After almost giving Mabel a heart attack from the shared information I rushed up to my bedroom. I opened the door quietly and stepped inside to see Violet snuggled against a mound of my pillows and sleeping soundly. I sat beside her on the bed and brushed the stray strands of blonde hair from her lovely face. "Sierra is exhausted and has rejuvenated the flesh on her back but there are numerous scars," my wolf, Nyko informed me. I sighed and lifted the t-shirt to see her back with puckered pink scars covering it. Violet stirred a little and whimpered in her sleep. I figured she was having nightmares. I lowered her shirt and was about to rise to leave and heard her mumbling. I sat back down precariously on the edge of the mattress and listened."Stay here with me, Forest, please," she said softly. I glanced up at her face and her eyes were half open and studying me. I grinned slightly."You've hogged all of my pillows, Violet. How can I sleep?" I asked teasingly and she reached back an
I couldn't believe that Grayson was being so forward. My wolf told me that he was concerned that I was pregnant by another and I found that appalling. She also informed me that I may have been violated by the Alpha that whipped me and I shuddered at the memory. There wasn't any semen that dripped down my leg so I told her that I doubted that he ejaculated internally in me. She agreed with a whimper. When I was sleeping in Grayson's comfortable bed the moon Goddess appeared to me in the dreamscape and explained that in order to get the love that I wished for I needed to put forth the effort to gain it from my mate. She also told me it would be challenging for me to gain it but well worth the struggle and to be fearless. I told her I would put forth the effort to please the stunning Goddess. My wolf encouraged me and gave me suggestions. It had been her idea to let the kissing continue. I did enjoy it though, Grayson was talented at kissing. Sierra was a frisky she-wolf I was learning.
"I don't think that is wise, little Luna. Look at what they did to me and I'm much larger than you and an experienced warrior," Harkin growled. I clenched my fists and stood."My mate is suffering from the silver cuffs. They're burning into his bones and he cannot shift into his Lycan?" I said in confusion. I was repeating what my wolf was saying and looked at the two individuals."Grayson is half Lycan?" I mumbled softly. Harkin grunted and nodded and Mabel grinned."His father was full blood, his mother was just a wolf," she told me and I nodded and mumbled, wow. I frowned not from the information but because Grayson was being held captive."Can the pack warriors try to get him?" I asked Harkin and he looked at me in sadness."I don't think so, there are a lot of rogues, Luna," he sighed and I crossed my arms and headed out back. I went outside and thought my mate would come for me and I should do the same for him. Sierra, my wolf growled in agreement. I started removing my clothes,
I couldn't believe Harkin saying what he had to Violet. She surprised me with her answer and even more when she appeared in the basement of Martinez's home to rescue me. The silver in my bloodstream was concerning and causing my flesh a grayish tinge. The doctor was drawing my blood to test how badly I'd been poisoned."Your Lycan half should fight and clean your blood if the infection isn't too far," he said firmly and ran the red substance into his Theranos machine. As we waited for the results Violet sat next to me holding my hand. Instead of nervously wringing her own she would periodically squeeze mine. I thought it was cute. I could hear knocking coming from my front door even from upstairs and glanced up at Harkin and then Mabel."I will answer it," Harkin grunted and headed out of the room. Violet was acting nervously and I squeezed her hand."I'm going to be alright, sweetheart," I told her and she looked at me and nodded with a slight smile. Harkin came back into the room l
Watching little Maksim or Max, wobble toward my smiling mate I leaned back against the couch cushions, feeling complete contentment. Violet has been in seventh heaven and is ecstatic about helping to raise our grandson for our daughter Amelie. All of the vampires with their mates decided to visit their homelands and our daughter asked us if we'd watch Maksim while they were away. Violet jumped at the opportunity and said absolutely yes. We were enjoying the slowly maturing child when Selene finally made an appearance. She was carrying three wriggling pups with her hands clenched around clothing. She gazed at both of us with a look of exhaustion."These are your grandchildren. They are all hybrids and blood drinkers. I'm not certain if they inherited the Lycan gene yet and won't until they have reached maturity. Anyway, I was told by Noah that Xavier is off with Ashton and to bring them to you as he doesn't have knowledge of raising children," she growled softly, releasing the obnoxious
Grayson and I appeared in an area that was very primitive. The buildings were basically shacks constructed from planks of aged wood. Livestock was in crudely made pens."Where is our son?" Grayson growled roughly. He had shifted to his Lycan and I followed suit by doing the same. I heard a crowd and waved Grayson toward a large gathering around a dirt pit dug into the ground. Inside an ugly creature was fighting with our boy who was shining as his Lycan. I felt proud of him for finding his internal sun. "PARSONS!" Grayson growled sternly, making me jump. I followed after his eyes and saw a huge burly man sitting on a throne of sorts, eyeing Grayson with hatred."Isn't that the last name of your first mate, Reilly?" I questioned sourly and he grunted a harsh yeah."So that's her father?" I asked with a nervous shudder. "Our son is mates with your first mate's little brother? What a strange coincidence," I growled bitterly and Grayson nodded and pushed through the crowd to get to the
I was sleeping soundly. My mind was at ease for once in my long life and I felt deliciously warm. Frowning I felt the panicked shove against my shoulder and opened my eyes slowly to see Damon looking down at me. I opened my eyes wider to see he was grinning at me from ear to ear. I glanced over at Violet still fast asleep with her mouth slightly open and smiled."Where did you find my son's first love, Kari?" Damon asked excitedly."By the Urals on my uncle's pack lands," I answered and his eyes narrowed."You know Russian?" He asked curiously and chuckled out a da. Danon laughed."I'm originally from Chechnya," he said staunchly. "Small human world," I mumbled softly and he nodded, still standing there awkwardly. I looked at him and his eyes widened."Oh right, I came in here to let you know Amelia is in labor and she wants her mother," he said solemnly and I grunted as I shook Violet awake. She looked at me with a scowl and mumbled a growly what? "Amelia is having the pup and want
I lifted my sweet mate into my embrace surprised by the things she had told Xavier's surrogate. Xavier and Ashton were still chuckling over her asking the kind woman if she planned on having a threesome with both the men to create the child she would carry for the couple. When Noah offered to explain the process she stuck her hand directly in his face telling him to shut his trap. A while afterward she passed out. She was going to be upset that she missed the union of our son and his mate. Xavier promised me that they would have a proper ceremony once they returned. I wished everyone well as I transported myself and Violet to our suite within the council home. Violet was mumbling incoherently in her sleep. I smiled and kissed her cheek and she smiled in her state."Go to sleep, my heart," I told her softly and she nestled against her pillow and continued resting.My uncle came to my door and asked me if I was ready."Do you think we can visit my uncle Jazz before Violet wakes?" I aske
"Xavier, we need to have a heart-to-heart," I called out. I could see his blonde head and yellow eyes looking my way."Why? I tried to kill you…," he mumbled."But you knew I wouldn't die… didn't you," I replied standing at the bars."You are a Goddess mother, it would take more than a stab wound to kill you," Xavier smiled and I nodded."May I join you so we can talk?" I asked curiously and he shrugged his shoulders. I asked my wolf to inform Auberon if our meeting turns sour and she whined in my subconscious as I transported myself into his cell. My son sat on the bench with his hands clasped on his lap while I stood there."Do you genuinely love Ashton?" I questioned him. Xavier rubbed his eyes and sighed deeply."Yes, I believe that I do but after the crap I pulled he has become distant." I nodded and waved toward the bench asking if he could share the space."I was told that you are an evil twin," I said softly gazing into my son's eyes. He looked disheartened and I grinned sligh
We appeared in the council's residence in the living room. Grayson I realized was still in only a towel around his waist and one on his head. Selene and Maacah were sitting together with smiles on their faces."Told you it would work, Goddess. He is still loyal to his children and the vampires they are mated with," Sköll announced and the moon Goddess nodded, thanking him for his excellent idea."I am going to assume that this ruse was used to get me to return…you could have just asked," Grayson growled, pulling the towel from his damp long hair. I watched his long curling locks fall down his back and grinned when Sköll said, damn Grayson."How long were you on the other side," he inquired, lifting the curls with his clawed fingers."Decades…is there any bourbon here? I've discovered over time that I enjoy a glass in the evenings," he growled roughly and Sköll laughed."It is only nine in the morning, pretty boy. You'll have to wait but I will share my stash with you tonight," Sköll g
I threw down the extra silver chains I had within my gloved hand and cursed. I had become what I despised. All over my son's stupid mate. I was angry at my son for trying to get me to submit to him."How dare he try to bring me to my knees, I am a Lycan God," I growled bitterly. Auberon remained silent within my mind. The scent of my tiny mate was still fresh inside the cave walls. I had taken the young male to my safe rooms in the mountains of my original house. The humans had the secret door sealed from inside my old home but I could access it easily through the outside hidden door."It would have made the ideal resting place for my son's supposed mate, "I choked out in bitterness. My plan would've been perfect had they not arrived in time. I grunted angrily and stormed through the bunker to find supplies. Rummaging through the cupboards I found canned goods, a box of stale crackers, and lastly a bottle of bourbon. I didn't drink but the possibility of starting weighed heavily on my
The crowd started celebrations once again after Noah told everyone all was fine and to carry on. I stood with Xavier as he introduced me to Jaxon who I'd met before and his mate Noah who was a demon. The couple had taken in Ashton when his father disowned him for liking other boys. It was heartbreaking to me that a parent could do that to their child but after what Grayson had done, I groaned internally. Xavier asked if he could stay with them for a while and I pulled him off alone to ask him if Ashton was his mate."Maybe…I don't know for certain but I really like him and he is super nice," he said."You've met with him before tonight?" I asked curiously and he nodded. "Yeah, we ran into each other at the lake. I'd taken some documents to Dagon and Noah, Jaxon and Ashton were swimming," he informed me. I nodded and overheard the moon Goddess announcing that the wedding of Damon Shaw and Zuri Grayson would be held shortly and I ground my teeth at my husband who wasn't present. I excus
I couldn't understand what Grayson's deal was and attributed it to his male pride. What difference did it make if our son liked other men? All I cared about was that he was happy and had love. It wasn't like same-sex couples were taboo at least they weren't in the packs I was raised in. I rubbed my eyes as I sat there listening to Selene and my daughter speak about their mates' stamina."It must run in the family," Mabel added with a chuckle and elbowed me. Glancing at her I faked a laugh and she frowned."Spill it, Luna. What's going on," she inquired quietly. I sighed and told her I'd talk with her away from the others. Always one to be in the know, she told the others that she needed to help me with something and grabbed my hand as she stood and prepared to take me somewhere."We can help too," Selene offered and Mabel shook her head."No need to, Goddess. It involves the past when we worked together," she lied expertly and I eyed her oddly."Come along Violet, I will help you," she
