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 flinched

The 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

    A Golden Wolf.Our Cora was one of the rarest wolves on earth. I knew she was special, but I didn’t know to what extent. When Axel told me that Cora wasn’t human, I knew expected her to be like us. Her parents believed that she was human unless they were lying about it. Or they didn’t know. My frown deepened as I thought back to all the times Nate and I met. He only ever talked about his family, and sometimes he would mention the troubles the back were facing. Whenever I asked him about Cora’s past and her real parents, he shut down. Maybe Cora wasn’t found at the side of the road like they claimed. Maybe her parents had handed Cora over to them in hopes of saving her from a terrible death. The Golden Wolves had been hunted, not only for their fur colour but because of the powers they possessed. That was something I didn’t know a lot about, but finding more information on it was claiming to be harder than expected. I made a mental note to arrange a date to go to Crawford and che

    Had they known about it?Letting out a groan, I dropped my forehead on my arm. I had been puking my guts out for the last few minutes. I hated being sick. The medicine Ryder gave me wasn’t helping at all. I was starting to feel worse than I had hours ago. “Maybe we should call the doctor,” Axel suggested. *Keiran clearly said that we shouldn’t tell anybody about Cora’s shift,* Ryder growled. I frowned because I was pretty sure that he hadn’t said those words out loud. A hand slipped down my back as someone knelt next to me. I should be chasing them out of the bathroom. It was disgusting. They shouldn’t be inside the bathroom with me while I was puking my guts out. Raising my head, I blinked at Axel.He wiped my mouth with the tip of a wet cloth as he gave me a gentle smile. Once he was done, he straightened and then walked over to the basin to wash the cloth out. I struggled to my feet, trying my best to avoid looking down at the vomit in the toilet. With a shaky hand, I flushed

    I wanted to punch him so badly. He didn’t have to point out what I already knew. Everything was supposed to be Cora’s decision but that was taken away from her when Rowan forced me to mark her just so he could be sure that she was our mate. My eyes locked on my mark. It was an ugly red colour. I needed to nurse it to heal faster, but that would be a big mistake. My beast was already clawing at the surface. He wanted our mate to mark us, he wanted our skin to be branded by her mark.That would only lead to more complications that we couldn’t afford. “Let’s focus on one thing at a time,” Axel said softly, making my eyes snap to his. “Yeah like the fact that you fed from her,” Ryder growled. Axel just glanced at him. “Cora still has a fever.”“And a headache,” she added softly. I frowned. She just shifted and although some aches and pains were common after a first shift, a fever wasn’t. The doctor had given me a first-aid kit with human medicine, but it was clear that Cora wasn’t

    It was almost like I could feel his blood traveling through my body, which was stupid because I had swallowed it so it was in my stomach. A stomach that was still a little unsettled despite the two slices of toast Axel had made me eat.Axel took a seat next to me on the couch.I waited until he was comfortable and then scooted closer to him. He instantly tensed when I laid my head on his thigh. I turned onto my back and blinked up at him.His eyes locked with mine and a few seconds later his body slowly relaxed. Smiling, he pressed his hand to my forehead.“Your fever’s going down,” he said softly.“I feel better,” I told him. “Except for my stomach that’s still a little unsettled.”Axel placed his hand on my stomach, making me freeze. I held my breath as he slowly pushed my shirt higher up my stomach. Once it was resting under my breast, his hand moved down to rest on my lower stomach.The heat of his skin slowly seeped into mine.I blew out a breath, my body relaxing.A movie was pla

    She tasted like heaven. I gripped her thigh with one hand and wrapped my other arm around her lower stomach to keep her in place as I started sucking on her clit. She moaned and squirmed, trying her best to get away from my mouth. Pulling away, I waited for her to calm down a little before I moved my mouth lower. I licked her slit, from her asshole up to her clit. Groaning, I gripped the back of her thighs and pushed her legs wider. With my thumbs, I spread her pussy lips and then buried my tongue in her pussy. Swirling it around, I collected as much of her slick as possible. “Oh god,” Cora gasped. I flicked my tongue against the hood of her clit and then pulled away to look up at her. Her eyes were squeezed closed and her lips parted as she sucked in shaky breaths. “More?”Cora’s eyes slowly fluttered open. She lowered her head to frown at me. “There’s more?” Chuckling, I pressed a kiss to the red curls at the apex of her thighs and then moved my mouth lower. With my lips wrap

    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

    I fucked up…again. There was nothing worse than finding out that your mate was almost attacked by a rogue in our own territory and that it had been well-planned. Cora’s safety had been moved to the top of the list. There was no doubt that Dean was behind everything, but we needed evidence and that was something we didn’t have enough of. A sigh fell from my lips. Leaning forward, I picked up the tablet and studied the pictures Lucas had sent an hour ago. The council could easily dismiss it. I tensed when a scent filled my nostrils. A moment later, Keiran rounded the corner and froze when our eyes locked. Pursing his lips, he walked over to the fridge and grabbed water.As discreetly as possible, I sucked in another breath. Unfortunately, it didn’t go unnoticed by Keiran. Walking to the other side of the table, he pulled a chair out and took a seat. The tension rose the longer the silence stretched between us. Keiran suddenly tilted his head to the side.My eyes instantly locked

    Keiran pulled back and then pushed forward again, entering me a few inches more with every thrust. The pain disappeared with every movement, leaving pleasure in its place. He paused when he was fully inside me. Lowering more of his weight on top of me, he slipped his hands into my hair and lowered his lips to mine. For a moment I stayed unmoving, unsure of what to do. But then I stopped thinking about doing it wrong and followed my instincts. I wrapped my legs around his hips as high I could and dug my heels into his beefy ass. My hands slipped over his shoulders and down his back.Keiran groaned, back arching when I scraped my nails against his skin. Breaking the kiss, he pressed his lips to the corner of my mouth and then raised his head to look at me. He pulled his hips back and thrust forward. “Oh.” “Still hurt?” he questioned.I shook my head, unable to utter a word. The pain was gone and in its place, there was only pleasure. The air locked in my throat when Keiran start

    I expected pain.The pain I felt when that metal closed around my leg was still branded in my mind. It wasn’t something I was easily going to forget. The pain and the sight of bone sticking through the skin. But there was no pain when I turned onto my back. I hesitated a moment and then slowly moved my foot. There were no sharp pains shooting up my legs.Swallowing, I sat up and threw the sheets aside. My eyes locked on my leg. It was almost like it never happened. If the memories in my head weren’t as clear as day, I would’ve thought it had all been a nightmare. It would definitely explain why Kelsey fought the rogue. I was sure that if it happened, she would’ve chosen to run away instead of staying to protect me.Shaking the thoughts away, I finally focused on my surroundings. The bedroom was familiar and so was the scent that clung to me and the sheets. Keiran’s bathroom was right across the bed. He didn’t bother closing the door when he started the shower. I listened to the

    Adrenaline still ran through me. I was shaking and fighting to keep myself in control. Swallowing, I focused my attention on Cora’s leg. “Broken bone,” the cat muttered. “We need to reset it before she starts healing.”He raised his head to look at me. My eyes narrowed but the guy didn’t even flinch when I hissed at him. “Go check on her,” I ordered, nodding towards Kelsey. The cat didn’t move. He gripped Cora’s legs, hesitated a second, and then set the bone. A pained sound fell from her lips, but she didn’t wake up. “Now feed her some of your blood,” he said softly. His eyes caught mine as he stood and moved over to Kelsey. I made sure that my body hid what I was doing. Slicing my palm with a claw, I held my hand over Cora’s leg and let my blood drip onto the wound. When I stopped bleeding, I rubbed the blood into her wound. Cora whimpered. I have her, I told Keiran. How many rogues?One. I slipped my arms under Cora and pulled her to my chest. He’s dead. “Hey sweetling

    The fresh air felt good. My eyes darted around, taking everything in. Sun rays peeked through the thick leaves of the tree, warming some parts of my skin as I walked. At some point, I spotted a family of rabbits. Curiosity made me follow them until they suddenly disappeared. Letting out a sigh, I stopped and tilted my head back to stare at the canopy of leaves. I couldn’t hear any birds singing which was strange. I glanced around again and spotted a footpath. After hesitating for a few seconds, I headed in that direction. Twigs snapped underneath my feet as I walked. It was the only sound aside from my breathing. The path ended at a clearing. Four big rocks were in the middle, leaning against each other. They were surrounded by green grass with some yellow flowers here and there. Sucking in a deep breath, I carefully made my way over to the rocks. I studied every inch of it to make sure that there weren’t any spiders or other bugs lingering about. Once I was sure that there were

    My eyelids were heavy but I forced them open. I blinked at the unfamiliar ceiling until the memories of last night returned. I had fallen asleep on Keiran’s lap and he had carried me to bed sometime later. Turning onto my side, I reached for my phone on the nightstand and frowned when my fingers brushed nothing. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and pushed myself up onto an elbow to search for my phone. Realization slowly dawned on me. I wasn’t in my bedroom. A glance over my shoulder revealed Keiran fast asleep in the bed next to me. My heart started beating faster as I turned around to face him. He was asleep on his stomach, his face turned away from me, and one arm underneath his pillow. My eyes darted over him and locked on the dark birthmark on his shoulder blade. Reaching up, I traced the mark with my fingertips. Keiran stirred. I jerked my hand away and clutched it to my chest. Licking my lips, I waited for him to wake up, but he didn’t. Scooting closer, I leaned up on

    Ryder never returned home and when I asked Keiran about it, he told me that he was probably staying at the pack house. I understood that he probably needed space, but I was hoping to talk to him so we could clear things up. His reaction towards Axel and what we did confused me. He was the one who bought boxes of condoms. Was he expecting me to only have sex with him? Letting out a sigh, I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. I reached out blindly to grab my phone from the nightstand. Keiran had surprised me when he gave it to me the other day. I wasn’t bothered about not having a phone. There was nobody for me to call since my parents were dead and I had no friends. Except for Blue. And I had my mates now. Keiran had already saved their numbers for me. He even added Blue’s number. I blinked rapidly at the sudden glare of the screen. Once I turned the brightness down a little, I pulled up Ryder’s number. My fingers hovered over the keyboard. In the end, I settled f
