“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.

    A lot of packs had their own dynamics and I respected that, but I couldn’t understand how they would want someone like the boy in front of me as their alpha. He was pathetic. Dean and Rowan were a lot alike when it came to personalities. Both were pathetic, liars and too scared to stand up and take responsibility for their mistakes. “My father’s going to kill you,” he growled, flashing his canines at me. I tilted my head to the side as I watched him. The bars were made of metal mixed with a healthy amount of Wolfs-bane and the idiot had learned it the hard way. He should have been able to smell it but he either didn’t or he was too agitated to take in his surroundings. Didn’t blame him. Axel entered the room with the smell of Cora’s arousal still clinging to his skin. I wanted to know what they had done. If she had given her consent for things to go so far, but I didn’t want to ask questions with the bastard within hearing. “Let me go!” He made the mistake of gripping the bar

    My Mom had been the one to home-school me. After everything Blue showed me and what we talked about, I realized how much my Mom hadn’t taught me when it came to sex-ed. She had explained the human version of how babies were made. Maybe she had been hoping that one day I would marry a human. I had been expecting that too, but it was clear that my life was meant to take a different path. A scoff fell from my lips. Who would have thought I would be blessed with three mates, or was it a curse?I touched the bruise on the side of my face and I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Blue had left a few minutes ago after promising to buy me some toys for my birthday. She had surprisingly not questioned me on the bruises which made me believe that the whole pack already knew what happened with Dean. Letting out a sigh, I finished tying my hair and then made my way out of my bedroom. The last thing I wanted was to see Keiran after what he walked in on, but I couldn’t hide in my room fo

    It felt like the air had been knocked from my lungs. I never expected him to utter those words. If a mate was so rare, why would someone kill their own mate?Was she not what he wanted so he killed her? I shook the thought from my mind and focused my attention back on Keiran. “Laura was manipulative and selfish. She wanted things done her way or not at all,” Keiran said softly. “When we met…she was shy or so she pretended to be. The more I got to know her, the more her true colors started showing.”“So she lied about who she really was?” I questioned. Keiran nodded. He stared at me for a few seconds before he leaned down. There was the sound of keys jiggling, and a moment later, a drawer opened and then closed. Standing, he walked around the desk and took a seat opposite me again. He hesitated a few seconds before he held out a photo album. “I loved her,” he said softly. “But I had to make a choice. I tried talking to her, changing things. For a while, I even pretended to be some

    “Wolves are surrounding us,” Lucas informed me. “They’re cutting off all exits and slowly moving in.”I nodded. “The women and children?”“All at the safe house.”Sucking in a deep breath, I tried to scent them. There was no doubt in my mind that Rowan was the one attacking. Somehow the kid must have gotten word out to him before reaching the pack. Ryder had kept a close eye on him while trailing him, but there could be a possibility that the boy might have sensed that he was being followed and decided to call Rowan and warn him. “Don’t attack unless he attacks first,” I warned my men. “Once they enter the center of town, you surround them to make sure that none of his men sneak off.”“Do you think it will break out in a fight?” one of my men asked. I frowned at him because he sounded excited. “I don’t know,” I told him honestly. Rowan was probably hoping for a fight. Anything to blackmail me into doing what he wanted me to do. But I was older and a lot wiser. I knew how he worked

    I blinked up at Keiran as he hovered over me. I had been woken by him numerous times during the night as he came to check up on me. It was sweet of him to check up on me, but I was starting to get annoyed. “I’m sorry,” he whispered as he fixed the collar of my shirt. “I just want to make sure that you’re okay.” “I am okay and I was okay the other hundred times you checked on me,” I told him. Keiran cleared his throat and moved to stand, but I reached out and grabbed hold of his wrist. “Why?” I questioned. He swallowed loudly as he turned to face me. “I told you about Laura,” he said softly. “I didn’t tell you that I had marked her because I thought it was what she wanted.” “And she rejected your mark?” “Yes,” he muttered. “Within seconds after I marked her.” I sat up, and reached out to grip his hand. “If I wanted to reject your mark, I’m sure it would have already happened.” “I didn’t want to do it until I was sure that it was what you wanted,” Keiran said. “I wanted things

    I frowned. My body was relaxed, my mind clear and my stomach full. I wasn’t hungry. I could sense the sun starting to rise so I should be sleeping. But something woke me and I wasn’t sure what. Sitting up, I glanced around the room. Nothing was out of place and there was no sign of anyone inside my room. Letting out a sigh, I got comfortable again. “Axel…”It was Cora’s voice, but she wasn’t inside my room. Jerking upright, I got to my feet and hurried towards the stairs. Pressing the button, I waited for the door to open. There was a soft click and then the door slowly started to open. I pushed it open faster and stepped out of my room slightly. I flinchedThe room was bathed in rays of the early morning sun. A low moan made my eyes snap towards Keiran’s desk. Cora was on the chair, her head resting on her arms on the desk. Another pained moan fell from her lips as her head rolled from side to side. “It hurts,” she cried. The fact that she was in my head should have shocked

    I glanced at Keiran from the corner of my eyes. It would be very rude of me to answer my phone during a meeting with the council, but it was the third time it was ringing. Something had to have happened because the only person I could think of who would call was Axel. “She has accepted your mark, but that does not mean that she has accepted you as her mate,” one of the elders was saying. “Given your history with your previous mate, you understand why we need to look at things from every possible angle,” Demetrius muttered. “Your pack has grown considerably over the years and don’t get me wrong, you are a great alpha. But we need to make sure that your pack will be protected if the past gets repeated.”“Cora is nothing like Laura,” Keiran growled. “How can we be so sure?” someone asked. “We know nothing about her. Rowan has given us a report and based on that, she is a troublemaker.”“You all know that Rowan can’t be trusted,” I interjected. All eyes turned towards me. “Why exac

    I was too hot. Biting back a whimper, I shifted slightly. My eyes fluttered open but I immediately squeezed them closed again. The bright light made sharp pains shoot through my already aching head. Every inch of my body ached. It felt like I had spent hours at the gym. The last thing I remembered was the pain and Axel’s soothing words. I shifted. Jerking upright, I glanced around. Axel was on the bed to my left and Keiran to my right. A wolf was resting at the end of the bed. “Oh.”“Don’t be scared.” A hand was pressed to the small of my back. “It’s Ryder.”His fur was the same colour as his hair. The wolf stirred and slowly opened its eyes. They were one and the same. Just like I had been with my wolf. I looked at Keiran to find him already studying me. He reached out and pressed his palm to my forehead. “You still have a fever.”“I changed,” I whispered. “I was a wolf.”Keiran smiled. “You did. Do you remember?”I flinched. How could I not? My bones had literally snappe

    Ryder drove us home and parked the truck in the drive. It was awkward to climb out of the car after sitting on Keiran’s lap for so long. Both of them slid from the truck. Keiran nodded towards Ryder. I frowned at the silent conversation they were having. Without a word, Ryder disappeared into the house. Keiran turned towards me, making me tense. I held still as he walked over towards me. Stopping in front of me, he reached up and swiped his thumb across my bottom lip. “You have a little something here…” he whispered. Slowly his head lowered, as if he was waiting for me to stop him. I tilted my head back, lips parted and eagerly waiting for his kiss.“Did I tell you how sexy you looked when you were ready to fight Abigail for touching me?” he questioned. I nodded. “I wanted to rip your clothes off and fuck you in the forest.” A shiver raced down my spine. I could imagine it.But what kind of example would that be? The park was full of kids. It wouldn’t have gone well with all

    I ran my wrist under the cold water for a few seconds and then splashed my face. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention as I straightened. My lips were swollen and my cheeks flushed with colour. I reached up to fix the strands of hair that were out of place. Once I was sure that the strands were going to stay in place, I spun around and exited the bathroom. Ryder was zipping the bags closed. I glanced around the room and frowned. There were no personal belongings at all. “How long have you been staying here?” I asked him.He shrugged. “A few years.”“Oh.”“It made sense to move in here once I was old enough. Keiran and I were at each other’s throats constantly. He was stressed about taking over the pack and I…I was being a prick and rubbing everything in his face.” Ryder paused. “Mom made the suggestion and I accepted. Made things easier even though I knew that Keiran had some of his men watching me.”“If you fought so much back then, isn’t that going to be a problem aga

    “Are you okay?”My eyes darted over to Lucas. He raised a questioning eyebrow when I only blinked at him. With a stiff nod, I turned my focus back to the men seated around the table. I was supposed to be paying attention, but Cora was making it difficult. When I marked Laura, she rejected my mark instantly. I never had the opportunity to experience a mate bond with her. I could feel Cora inside me, it was like we were one. Everything she was feeling, I was feeling. And I meant everything. Swallowing, I shifted in my seat, trying to adjust my hard-on as discreetly as possible. I should be glad that she and Ryder made up, but I wasn’t too fond of the way they were doing it. If I was alone it wouldn’t have been a problem. But I was in a room surrounded by elders and some of my best men in an important meeting. And I couldn’t even concentrate on what was being said. Because all I could focus on was the pleasure my brother was giving my mate. Our mate. “-I’m just saying that maybe

    Xan and I talked about my abilities a little more while Ryder washed the dishes. Although I wasn’t a pro yet, I knew the basics. Hell, I knew how to do things before I was even aware of my abilities. But what Ryder was asking me was a lot different than speaking to someone in their head. “Just close your eyes,” Ryder ordered softly. “Think about what you want me to do to you and then focus on showing me that image. Don’t think about anyone else. Just me.”It sounded easy enough. Sucking in a breath, I slowly blew it out as I closed my eyes. Images flashed through my mind until I focused on one specific one. Ryder on his knees between my legs with his face buried against my pussy. My eyes snapped open and a gasp fell from my lips. He was making the image a reality because Ryder was on his knees between my legs, lips locked around my clit, and his tongue flicked back and forth. I moaned as I reached down to bury my hands in his hair. My hips rolled as the pleasure increased. And

    I walked right up to the front desk. My smile faltered when the woman glanced up. She didn’t look friendly, but I didn’t let it stop me. “Hi,” I greeted. “I’m here to see Kelsey…” I trailed off when I realized I didn’t know her last name. “No visitors.”My shoulders sagged. “Let’s try that again,” Ryder growled. “We’re here to see Kelsey.”His chest brushed against my back when he stepped closer. I tensed for a moment when he gripped my hips and then relaxed again. He caged me in between him and the counter as we waited for the woman who was busy typing on the computer. She cleared her throat as she turned back to us. “She was discharged last night.” “Thank you.”Gripping my hand, he led me out of the building and back to the truck. “You know where she lives right?” I asked him. Ryder pursed his lips instead of answering, but he started the truck and headed in the opposite direction of home. The drive was short and filled with a tense silence. He said nothing as he parked in f

    Kill him, he growled. We will hide the body and make sure that nobody can find them. I turned around to glare at Xan but caught Cora’s eyes instead. Her eyes narrowed, making colour flood my cheeks. It felt like she knew exactly what my beast and I were thinking about.Clearing my throat, I turned around and started cleaning the counter. It was hard to concentrate because I could feel her eyes burning into my skin.What’s she thinking?“I should get going,” Xan muttered. “You have one of your mates with you, but if you need anything, you can just call me.”Suck ass.His chair scraped loudly against the floor when he stood. I bit my lip to stop myself from making an unnecessary comment. Silence settled around us the moment he left. I listened for the soft click of the front door to make sure that he was gone.With the counters clean and nothing else to do, I turned around only to find the kitchen empty.Cora left without making a sound.I frowned and rubbed my chest. She was upset and

    I expected this to be awkward. But I woke up alone in bed in my room. All we’d been doing was talking about taking things slowly and at a pace I was comfortable with. Just the other day Keiran had pointed out that I wasn’t ready for our bond to be completed and I had agreed with him.Things have changed a lot since we last had that conversation.Reaching up, I traced the skin around our bond mark. It was healed and stood out starkly against my pale skin. My lips twitched and slowly curled into a smile. A few inches higher and my fingers brushed over the slightly raised skin. I shivered, enjoying the warmth that flooded my body. It took me a few minutes to figure out that the emotions filling me weren’t just my own. I couldn’t make sense of it, but I knew that they belonged to Keiran. Still smiling, I reached for my brush. I divided my hair into two sections and then started combing it. When I was done, I braided my hair and then dropped the towel. I took the time to rub some lo

    I was hot, sweaty, and sticky between my legs. My body ached. Everything hurt from my arms down to my legs. It felt like I had been exercising nonstop. Groaning, I turned around and rolled straight into another body. Warm sweaty skin brushed mine. I sucked in a breath and winced at the scent that filled my nostrils. Our scents were combined and it was my new favourite smell. Except I didn’t care much for the lingering scent of sex that filled the room. A low groan made my stomach clench. There was a rustle of sheets as the body next to mine moved. I forced my tired eyes open and blinked a few times to clear my blurry vision. The bed dipped behind me and a second later, someone gripped my hip. I turned my head and frowned at the man hovering above me. Axel smiled as he leaned over me. Biting my lip, I slowly turned onto my back. “Hey, sweetling. How are you feeling?”I swallowed a few times before I answered him. “Tired and dirty,” I croaked. His smile widened. “I ran you a

    My beast wanted out. He couldn’t understand why we were downstairs dealing with them when we should be upstairs next to our mate who needed us. All he cared about was her and not the danger she was currently in. We needed to protect her. We needed to make sure that we were going to be safe when her full heat hit. I studied Xan with my brows dipped into a frown. We were the only ones who had seen Cora shift. Nobody else knew about it. Yet, somehow he knew about her. “How do you know about Cora?” Ryder asked the question before I could. Xan shifted in his chair but his focus was on Axel. I frowned at my brother. It would be easy for him to get the answers we needed. I hated how it was done, but it was effective. “She called to me,” Xan said softly. “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not crazy. She called to you the same way she called to me. You found her, didn’t you?”Dread flooded me. “Is…” I sucked in a breath and blew it out. “Is she your mate?”His eyes darted between the three
