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

    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

    “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
