***Eventually, Ryan composed himself long enough to finish the story. The look on Jeremy’s face was priceless. He looked so shocked he couldn’t utter a word after Ryan told him how Reynard’s life had ended. He then finally told him what he’d done when their bond got broken by the warlock.“I would appreciate it if you don’t rip into Paige or anything like that when you see her,” Ryan said shakily. “Much as her method was dangerous, it worked. So please…”“Shhh…” Jeremy folded Ryan into his arms again. “She’s not the one I want to kill right now. How the fuck did Phillip even think it was okay to expose you to all that violence?”“I insisted, Jeremy,” Ryan said hoarsely. “You know how difficult it is to try to talk me out of something once my mind is made up. If I hadn’t gone, you wouldn’t have had anyone to come back to.”“That doesn’t make it alright,” Jeremy growled stubbornly. “Fuck, I’m so sorry for everything.”Ryan nodded. “I’m sorry I made out…”“You really should have known,
***Jeremy nodded. “What’s this I’m hearing about you finding your mate?”Phillip groaned and rubbed his hand on his neck in a sigh of frustration. “I don’t know his name. And I don’t know where he is. He’s just a kid. About sixteen years of age. Don’t know why Luna decided to give me a kid but hey…who am I to question the great Luna?” He growled low in his throat. “Everything happened so fast. One moment he was there, the next he was gone. I know he’s not dead because…”“You feel him,” Jeremy said softly. He hadn’t believed the tales about ‘the click’ till he’d felt it himself the very first moment he’d laid eyes on his mate. It was almost as if something clicked inside and a connection was instantly formed. He wasn’t surprised at all that Phillip could feel his mate.Phillip nodded. “But I don’t know if I’m ever going to see him again. End of story.”“Shit.” Jeremy groaned. “How do you feel?”“How do you think I feel?” Phillip snapped. “I can’t fuck anyone because my wolf wouldn’t a
***Ryan stared at his mate’s captivatingly gorgeous face. He looked to be in deep thought. They were in bed after a busy day. Lunch had been a fun affair with Gloria and Deloris telling everyone stories about the battle. When Gloria recounted the story about the three Wyatt warlocks, everyone erupted into laughter. And Reynard Wyatt’s silly talk definitely amused them. Even Paige had felt free enough to recount some of the funny things the albino had said to her. She’d insisted that at a point she’d actually thought the man was a professional comedian. It had been a fun time and by the time everyone left, it was already evening. Immediately they’d gotten back to the suite, Jeremy had informed Ryan that he needed to see the high priestess. He thought he should at least apologize for trying to kill her. Ryan had encouraged him to go because he thought that Jeremy really needed to do that.Around nine p.m., Gloria had called the suite and asked to speak to Jeremy. When Ryan informed her
***“I want you, Jeremy,” Ryan murmured shakily. “I am going crazy with need.” He wriggled his arse against the hard, hot cock stuck snugly inside his butt crack and moaned when the wet head rubbed against his hungry hole. “Oh god.” Ryan groaned, arching his back in pleasure. He heard Jeremy’s breath become quick and shallow with obvious lust. “Jeremy, even if you can’t kiss me, give me this, please.” Ryan pleaded brokenly as he began to rock against that cock, loving how it felt against his twitching rosette. God, he’d missed Jeremy. His cocks were so hard they curved up against his flat tummy, both leaking like a faucet. Feeling that huge hot knob against his hole felt so good Ryan felt himself drool. “Please Jer. Please.”But Jeremy moved back abruptly with a harsh groan, putting some distance between them. “I can’t take you without tasting those lips, Ryan.” Jeremy rasped.Ryan flushed with desperation and mortification at being rejected but he didn’t give up. Anything was better
***It was always a great honour for a pack to have the Alpha of Alphas as a pack member. The home of the AA usually became the headquarters of werewolves worldwide. The headquarters had been Russia for years because Sasha was the AA till his death at the hands of the Wyatt Clan. Now the headquarters was going to move to California, and all the attention was going to be on Stanwood Pack. It also meant that the livelihood of Jeremy and his mate was now the responsibility of every pack in the world. Had Jeremy not been wealthy, he would definitely have become wealthy with the new position. As AA, his wealth was only going to multiply in spades.“That’s a huge honour but also an enormous responsibility, man,” Phillip said, his eye filled with so much pride.“And that’s why you’re going to help me, Lip,” Jeremy said.“How?” Phillip folded his arms across his chest.“You’re going to take over Stanwood,” Jeremy responded. “It’s your time to rule Lip. I can’t combine the problems in every pa
***Ryan took just one look at the trio and knew that he’d been the topic of discussion. He saw the pity in the eyes of both Phillip and Stan and felt the blood rush to his face. Had Jeremy told the guys about how he’d begged for sex? Had he told them how he’d turned him down? That had happened about five days earlier and he couldn’t say that his relationship with Jeremy had been the best. Jeremy avoided him by making sure they were never alone during the day. At night, Jeremy either went to bed early before him or waited till after Ryan slept before he came to bed. They however always woke up curled around each other. But that wasn’t enough.Ryan couldn’t help but regret taking some days off to be with his mate. Seeing as he was being avoided by his mate, he obviously shouldn’t have bothered. He’d been walking around Jeremy on eggshells because he didn’t want to offend the man or give him any stress after what he’d been through at the Fort. And being horny all the fucking time sure w
***Ryan wasn’t too surprised when he materialized in Gloria’s garden. He hadn’t meant to go to Jeremy’s mother when he’d desperately blinked out of the suite. All he could think at the time was how he needed some peace and calm within to prevent himself from going insane. Well, what better person to give him that peace than Gloria Stanton. He saw her as his mother too after all. Ryan stared at the elegant woman who seemed to be oblivious to his presence. With a deep breath, he released his aura. One moment Gloria seemed engrossed in whatever she was doing with the flowers, the next, she was sniffing the air. Then she turned in Ryan’s direction with a huge grin on her face. But that grin wavered and then disappeared. She frowned, sensing that all was not well with her son-in-law.Gloria watched as Ryan’s mouth opened as if to speak, and then closed. She saw his eyes brim over and knew that he was falling apart. Ryan opened his mouth again but then closed it again. Gloria didn’t need t
***Jeremy stared at his mother. Ryan obviously hadn’t told her what he’d done. That was good because he had no intention of telling his mother.“Where did he go Ma?” Jeremy’s voice was hoarse. “I need to know where he is.”“He’s fine. Just tell me what you did to him.”“Where is he?” Jeremy was getting worked up and Gloria could tell.“He’s asleep in the guest room.” She said quietly.“What?” Jeremy gasped. “I didn’t smell… Is he okay?” He asked as he got to his feet with the intention of going to his mate. Gloria held him back.“Wait, Jeremy.”But Jeremy snatched his hands out of Gloria’s grip. “You can’t stop me from seeing him.”“I know and I won’t,” Gloria said softly. “Just come sit with me and listen to me. Please.”With a deep sigh, Jeremy went back and sat beside his mother. He looked shaky. Gloria reached for his hand and rubbed soothing circles at the back.“He cloaked himself, Jeremy.” She said softly. “I didn’t even know that till you asked me where he is. I thought you c
