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 could smell the tension in the air. The town hall was filled to the brim with pack members. It seemed like everybody was already aware of what happened when Rowan showed up. News usually travelled fast around the pack which was good because everybody knew when to expect danger. Keiran’s eyes locked with mine as he climbed the steps up to the stage. I was still pissed at him for allowing Axel to give some of his blood to Cora. We weren’t sure how her body would react and we couldn’t stick around to find out. What if she had a bad reaction?What if his blood made her feel sicker?I pursed my lips to swallow the growl before it could escape. Keiran was older, the alpha, and even though Cora was our mate, he was much wiser when it came to these types of things. However, it didn’t mean that I would always follow his orders. “She’s fine.”My eyes snapped up to his. “Stop overthinking things.”He turned to face the crowd before I could utter a word. Clearing his throat, he waited un

    Axel was truly scared that he would accidentally hurt me. I could see it in his eyes which was why I didn’t push him, even though I badly wanted to touch him. The little taste I had earlier made my mouth water. Axel offered to finish watching the movie. It would have been a better choice and probably less awkward, but I wasn’t in the mood for the movie. I was surprisingly tired despite all the time I spent sleeping. I felt better. Much better. Axel pulled the sheets of his bed back and then smiled at me as I crawled up and settled on my back. He hesitated a second before he got into bed with me. I instantly cuddled into his side and pressed my face to the crook of his neck. A deep breath revealed the mystery scent I had been struggling to place since I arrived. Pressing my nose to his neck, I sucked in another deep breath and moaned. Axel’s breathing hitched, but he didn’t move away. “You smell good.”He turned his head and sucked in a breath. “So do you,” he muttered. “But you

    I was fucking furious, but I had to keep it bottled so Cora didn’t pick up on it. Her breathing was slow and even but she was still trembling. She had been half-shifted and close to a panic attack when I entered the room. I ran a hand through her messy hair and slowly raised my head to glare at my brothers. Axel still held Ryder captive with his mist. Some of Ryder’s anger had faded but he wasn’t calm enough to be let free. I sucked in a breath and winced. Passion and lust hung in the air heavily.“What happened?” I asked as calmly as I could manage. Alex looked at Ryder. I followed his gaze. “You let your jealousy get the better of you, didn’t you?” I questioned him. “He fucked her!” Ryder snarled. My eyes snapped back to Axel. “We didn’t,” he said softly. “Things didn’t go that far between us. We were fooling around and before you ask, yes she was okay with what was happening.”“So you were fooling around, then what?”Axel ran a hand through his hair. “We were talking when

    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

    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 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
