AXEL

Hunger was gnawing at my stomach.

It made it impossible for me to sleep even though my body and brain were beyond tired. I needed sleep.

The fact that her scent filled nearly every room in the house was making it harder to resist.

I had heard about this thing only once before and it had ended in disaster.

Cora was a temptation being dangled in front of my nose and it was getting harder to resist.

Giving up on trying to get some sleep, I got out of bed and entered the bathroom. My eyes locked on my reflection in the mirror, making me pause. Red was bleeding into the edges of my pupil, a sure sign of hunger.

It was the reason I had been mostly avoiding my brothers and the little human. I didn’t want to scare her and I didn’t want to give them anything to worry about.

They already had enough on their plate.

Keiran was still trying to figure out why Cora got three mates after being rejected by that bastard and why Rowan hadn't spoken a word about Cora until Lucas showed up th

  • Save me Alphas (REVERSE HAREM SHIFTER ROMANCE)   14. CORA

    He had to be kidding.A smile was playing around his lips, but his eyes were serious as they stared into mine.“Me?” I repeated dumbly.Axel’s smile widened a few notches. “You.”“Two,” I whispered.I had gone from being rejected by one mate to suddenly having two mates. Frowning, I grabbed the book and scanned the contents inside.“You won’t find anything inside that book,” he muttered as he leaned back in the chair. “Keiran is trying to figure everything out.”“It’s never happened before?” I questioned.“Not that we are aware of.”Axel hesitated a moment before he stood. “Stay,” he ordered softly.A gasp fell from my lips when he suddenly disappeared into thin air. He was gone for only a few seconds before he reappeared again with a few books in his hand.“How do you do that?”His eyes darted over my face. “I use the shadows to move from one place to another. It makes traveling easier.”“Can you change into a bat?” My eyes trailed over his body.It made me take notice of what he was

    I was struggling to breathe. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t suck enough air into my lungs.Twigs snapped under my feet and scratched my skin. There was a low growl from somewhere behind me. It was getting closer. I needed to run. Needed to get away from it. I glanced over my shoulder which was a mistake. My foot caught on something, sending me flying through the air and then hitting the ground. I cried out when I hit the ground. Rolling onto my back, I blinked up at the canopy of leaves high above me. “Run, Cora!”Mom’s voice had me rolling onto my stomach and pushing myself to my feet. My legs shook so badly that I could barely stay on my feet.“Run, baby!”Run. Run. Run. The monsters were coming. I hadn’t seen him. But Mom had. She told me to run as soon as she saw him. He hurt Dad. Tears burned my eyes. He was hurt. Hurt so badly. There was a lot of blood on the floor. Without realizing it, I had slowed down. It was a mistake. The monster snarled, and then he was

    Cora twitched but she didn’t wake up. There was a damp spot on my shirt from her drool. She gripped my shirt tighter as she rubbed her cheek against my shirt. I held my breath and waited. She didn’t wake up from another nightmare but something in her dreams was troubling her. Just as I blew out a slow breath, Cora stirred again, digging her knee into my crotch. I winced and reached down to grip her knee so I could pull her leg higher up. The last thing I needed was to be kneed in the balls when she jerked awake. Ryder sighed behind Cora. “It’s raining.” “Where were you planning on taking her?” I asked him. “The waterfall.” I frowned up at the ceiling. “How were you planning on getting there?” “The bikes.” “Cora can’t drive a car, Ryder. What makes you think she can drive a dirt bike?” He remained silent long enough for me to realize that he hadn’t thought things through. I had no problem with Ryder pursuing his relationship with Cora. After all the shit he had been

    Werewolf anatomy. Female: A female’s werewolf anatomy is the same as a female’s human anatomy, BUT and I put emphasis on the but. Although they look the same, some body parts function differently. A female has the ability to control her ovaries which means that she has the ability to choose when she gets pregnant.My eyes snapped up. “Can your females really do that? Control when they get pregnant?”Keiran’s eyes flashed black for a second before it turned back to normal. “Yes,” he growled. “It’s a blessing and a curse.”I glanced over at Axel lounging on the couch with a book. He looked completely focused on what he was reading, but I knew he could probably hear us. Ryder stood by the sink, washing the dishes. I had offered to help him but he had declined my help. Keiran had then suggested that we get started with my homework. I leaned closer to Keiran. “I can’t do that,” I whispered. “I know.” Keiran smiled at me. “Which is why there won’t be any sex until you’re ready. And when

    Why did he insist on coming?I glanced over at Axel with a frown. He never traveled anywhere during the day, he never took that risk. As he had said earlier, the sun could come out any second. Axel had taken precautions just in case, but I wasn’t sure if it would do him any good. The windows were tinted so that at least offered some protection. “Idiot,” I muttered under my breath. Axel didn’t stir. I frowned at the road. Was he sleeping? If he was I was going to kick his ass because it meant that we couldn’t leave him alone in the state. “Did you have other plans?” Cora asked softly. I glanced at her. “No. Why are you asking?”“It looks like you’re mad that we have to go into town,” she said softly. “I’m pissed at the weather,” I told her. “I wanted to take you up to the waterfall so we could spend some time together.” “Oh.” She swallowed loudly.“I want to know everything about you, Cora.”She shifted in the seat. Reaching down, I placed my hand on her thigh and squeezed her

    It was hard to read Axel’s expression.The guy stood next to me with a basket full of pads, and the sunglasses he wore were too dark to see his eyes.Was he embarrassed? Should I take the basket from him?I bit my lip as my eyes darted around. There were a lot of people standing in line for the pharmacy.A gasp fell from my lips when Axel wrapped an arm around my waist and suddenly jerked me against the front of his body. His head lowered until his warm breath fanned the side of my neck.“The night we found you,” he whispered. “It was raining, but there was a scent that clung to your skin. He was the one that dumped you in the woods. Do you see him?”Gripping his shirt, I glanced around. There were no familiar faces at all. I couldn’t even see Ryder.“See anyone?”I tilted my head back to look up at him. “No.”My eyes dropped to his lips which were inches from mine. Was his kiss going to feel the same as Keiran’s?His lips twitched. Leaning down, he brushed his lips softly against min

    “Pick up! Pick up! Pick up!” I shifted gears and jerked the wheel to the left. A car honked behind me, but I ignored it as I pressed my foot down. “Ryder?”“They fucking took her,” I growled. “They have Axel too.”“Who?” “I don’t exactly know who but it’s someone from Rowan’s pack.”Keiran muttered a few curses. “Where did they take her?”“Some human saw them load Cora into a black SUV. Nobody saw anything. They headed east,” I told him. “I haven’t spotted them yet.”Keiran was silent for a few minutes but I could hear him moving. “There’s woods surrounding the mall, isn’t there?” “You think they took her there?” “Humans are too scared to enter the forest. It’s also a great place to hide a body.”Growling, I hit the brakes and then made a U-turn to head back in the direction of the mall. “I’m on my way. If you find them, don’t do anything stupid.”I ended the call. Was he expecting me to just stand back and watch them hurt her? I didn’t fucking care who they were, if they touc

    “Scream.”My body jerked, eyes snapping open. “It’s okay. You’re okay.” The arm around my waist tightened, pulling my body back against his. “We’re home.”I glanced around, taking everything in. We were back in my bedroom and it still looked the same as it had when I left. Swallowing, I raised a shaky hand to my neck and pressed it to the spot that was still throbbing. “I healed you,” Axel explained. “You bit me,” I whispered. He was silent for a few seconds. “Yes.”I scooted forward, making his arm slip away. Turning onto my back, I hesitated a moment more before I turned onto my side to face him. His eyes darted over my face and then dropped down to my neck where his eyes lingered for a few seconds and then snapped up to mine.“You fed from me.”“Yes,” he answered after a few seconds of hesitation. “I tried not to resist.”“Do you always find it hard to control yourself?” I asked him. Axel’s lips twitched. “No. I usually have better control.”My eyes dropped to his lips. Lips

    “I have her.”I gripped the edge of the table tightly. It was taking everything in me to keep the beast in check. If I could, I would have allowed him out to rip the council to shreds, but I couldn’t take that risk. I couldn’t risk losing my pack. Cora needed them. She needed protection and we wouldn’t be able to provide it alone. If we left pack territory it would paint a target on our back. The last thing I wanted to do was make things worse after all the shit she went through. “You lied to us,” Abigail’s mate growled. “You told us she was human but that’s not the truth. We had to find out from someone else that she’s a shifter.”I held my breath, waiting for him to tell everyone that she was a rare breed. “We should have been informed what she was the moment she stepped foot on this land.”“If I may…” Kelsey stepped forward. “The council was formed to advise our alpha. It wasn’t formed to control his every move. As alpha of our pack, he doesn’t have to report everything to you.

    “Welcome home, sweetling.”My eyes fluttered open as the words flashed through my mind again. The bed dipped on either side of me, making my smile widen, but it faded the moment his lips brushed along the scars on my lower back. I tensed and clutched the pillow tighter. “Ryder ran you a bath,” he said softly. “We need to leave in ten minutes.”His body brushed along mine as he moved higher until his lips reached my shoulder. There, he paused to press a kiss to my skin and then turned his head to press his face against the back of my neck. “Are they going to punish you?” I asked. Keiran tensed, but he didn’t immediately answer. “I don’t know,” he finally answered. “They know exactly what happened.”“You make it sound like the council can’t be trusted.” “They can’t.” He swallowed loudly. “At least not everyone. Demetrius is always on our side, but I can’t say the same about the other elders. They weren’t happy when I challenged my father and won.” I swallowed. The happiness I felt

    Ryder’s lips moved along my skin, pressing soft kisses here and there. We had moved to the bed, something that he had pointed out was a bit awkward because it was Axel’s bed. I reassured him that the sheets had been changed the night before and that we hadn’t had sex..in the bed. He still hadn’t looked convinced. But at least his mind was not occupied with other things. Like torturing me. I should have told him that I wanted him to fuck me hard and fast. Instead, he took it upon himself to torture me slowly. He was inside me, fucking me slowly while he peppered my skin with kisses. Every time I was close to orgasm, he would stop until I calmed down before moving again. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t love it. Shifting slightly, Ryder kissed a path up my neck. His lips lingered there and then slipped along my jaw to capture my lips in a slow kiss. I lost myself in him until my wolf rose to the surface. As if he could sense the change inside me, he raised his head to look a

    I hovered in the doorway, staring at Cora. It's been three days since we found her. Three days since Xan and Keiran killed Rowan. Cora slept for most of the time. She only woke up to use the bathroom, to eat, or when Keiran or Axel cleaned her still-healing wounds. Some had already healed but they left ugly scars behind. We were still waiting for Dean to show up. It was why we decided that Axel's room was the safest place for Cora to sleep. Not that we left her alone for long. We knew that Dean was going to come for her. We just didn't know when. "Do you want me to leave you alone?"My eyes snapped over to Axel. He had been slumped in the chair next to the bed with his head tilted back and eyes closed. "I thought you were sleeping," I muttered as I stepped further into the room. He said nothing as he stood and quietly left the room. I kinda felt bad for kicking him out of his own room but I didn't stop him from leaving. Hovering next to the bed, I stared down at Cora. She sle

    I used to think that losing my parents was the worst thing that could have happened to me. But nothing could be worse than being humiliated in front of your mate and your worst enemy. Dean touched me in ways I never wanted him to touch me. He did it to terrorize Axel because he knew that Axel couldn't do anything. Our plan hadn't worked out. They caught us off guard and managed to inject Axel before he could kill them. Kelsey was knocked out even before she could shift. And, I was left defenseless because Axel had already tied me up again. For some reason, I felt like they had everything planned and managed to fool us. Rowan was playing a game and I wasn't sure why. Axel was already hurting. I was humiliated. And I wasn't sure why Kelsey was locked up with us. Shivers raced down my spine when I heard the soft click of the lock on the door turning. Dread instantly flooded me when the door opened and Luther stepped inside. He smirked when his eyes locked with mine. "What a grea

    “We found it at the north border. There was no note or scent around that we could trace.”I stared at the package on the table. It was wrapped in black tape, preventing us from seeing what was inside. Swallowing, I gripped the handle of the knife tighter as I took a step forward. We didn’t know what was inside. I was dreading opening it, but I knew I had to. It might be a clue on how to find Cora. “Do you want me to open it?” Lucas questioned from my right.I shook my head. To my left Ryder shifted nervously from foot to foot. I knew exactly what he was thinking because I was thinking the exact same thing. This package could be from whoever kidnapped Cora. It could be a part of her body they cut off. It could be her head. Our mate could already be dead. We had no leads to follow. Xan had disappeared from the face of the earth. There were no scents left behind or clues other than the empty syringes.“Just get it over with,” Ryder growled. I pressed the knife to the side of th

    Waking up in one of my mate’s arms was the best. Waking up after a night of sex was even better. Until I remembered exactly what happened. I shot upright in bed, eyes wide and heart racing. Besides me, Axel stirred. “I need to talk to Ryder,” I told him as I struggled to free myself from the sheets. “Cora-”“I need to be the first to tell him,” I interrupted. “We just managed to talk things out, I don’t want to mess it up again.”He said nothing else. Finally managing to free myself from the sheets, I climbed out of bed and searched the ground for a shirt. Pulling it over my head, I hurried up the stairs. I was expecting bright light to blind me, but the office was surprisingly dark. Not dwelling on it, I hurried out of the room and up the stairs. The smell of frying bacon filled my nostrils and on any other day, the smell alone would have drawn me into the kitchen. My steps faltered when I reached Ryder’s door. It was slightly ajar but the room was dark and I could sense him i

    “You know,” I whispered against Cora’s ear. “If we were in any other situation, this would make for some kinky sex.”She made a sound that sounded almost like a laugh. I sighed as I hooked my arm under her ass and hiked her a little higher to give her legs a rest. It was dark and hot. I had removed my cloak a while ago and wrapped it around Cora. She was starting to shake either from the cold or shock setting in, I wasn’t sure. After searching through the room I found a wire I thought I could use to pick the locks on the chains. It looked a lot easier in the movies.“Ready?” I questioned. Her legs tightened around my waist again. I waited to make sure that she was ready before I let her go and reached up again to try and open the lock. My head was getting hazy. Sweat dripped down my forehead and made my clothes stick to my skin. I was uncomfortable and hot. Cora’s wounds were starting to heal so she was no longer actively bleeding, but her blood still coated the floor. The scent

    One day, twenty-four hours, and a few minutes. Whatever the bastard injected me with was still in my system. I couldn’t use any of my abilities to try to locate Cora. Keiran couldn’t sense her either. It scared me shitless. I might not know that much about werewolf mates, but I knew that if you couldn’t sense your mate, something was seriously wrong. I didn’t even want to consider that Cora might already be dead. Rowan’s territory was the first place Keiran searched. We all suspected Dean, but his name was cleared. Rowan even gave us permission to search through every house on his property and the surrounding territory. He thought allowing us to search his territory would take him off our suspect list. But it didn’t. Keiran was sure that he had Cora, we just couldn’t do anything until we had proof.The last thing we wanted was to start a war when Cora was still missing. I sighed softly, eyes darting over the assembled pack members. Keiran had called a pack meeting the moment h
