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

  • Save me Alphas (REVERSE HAREM SHIFTER ROMANCE)   53. CORA

    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

    Cora was upset. I could sense it the moment I woke up. Keiran and Ryder have been trying to get her to connect with her wolf for the last few days, but there have been no results. For some reason, there was no connection between Cora and the animal even though strong emotions caused her to almost shift. Cora was still too afraid to allow a full shift which was another problem. But maybe it was for the best. It made it easier to keep her secret. On the other hand, it could be problematic in the future. What if she needed to shift to protect herself? What if she needed to fight and we weren’t there with her? Keiran had hired Xan as her bodyguard. He was supposed to be there to protect her if we couldn’t. Unease gripped me. Something about the cat was off. Keiran trusted him and I knew what he told us was the truth, but his mind was too silent. He only allowed me to hear what he wanted me to which was a warning on its own. But until I had solid proof, I couldn’t say anything. Ry

    It hurt a lot more than I expected. I bit my lip to stop the whimper from escaping. Axel’s hold on my arm tightened as he moved closer. He made a strange sound at the back of his throat that made my stomach twist. Swallowing, I reached out with a shaky hand and started running it through his hair. The pain of his fangs piercing my skin faded to a dull throb. All I could focus on at the moment was the sucking motion of his mouth. It was a strange sensation, one that was starting to make me feel a little sick. Turning my head away, I closed my eyes and sucked in deep breaths. I was trying to focus on something else but failed. Fear hit when I started feeling dizzy. It got worse the longer he drank my blood. “Axel,” I breathed. “I don’t feel so good.”He didn’t react. Should have listened. Axel was suffering and I wanted to help. It was the only thing I could think of to make him drink some of my blood. My breathing sped up as the edges of my vision started to darken. “Axel,”

    I frowned at him. “What do you mean?” Axel gripped the hem of my shirt and tugged it upwards. Struggling into a sitting position, I quickly helped him. Once my shirt was off, he pressed a hand to the middle of my chest and pushed until I fell back. Hooking his fingers into the band of my pants, he tugged them down my legs. A growl fell from his lips. “No underwear?”Colour flooded my cheeks. “I like it.” Axel crawled over me, hooked an arm around my waist, and hoisted me higher up the bed until my head rested on his pillow. “Did you finish reading Werewolf 101?” I shook my head. “One of the things it teaches you is the fact that a bond mark is very sensitive.” His head lowered. “Keiran feels everything you do.”Swallowing, I sucked in a shaky breath. “Everything?”“Everything,” he breathed. His lips captured mine but before the kiss could deepen, he pulled away and moved down my body. Axel gripped my hips as he wrapped his lips around a nipple. My back arched when he started

    “Concentrate Cora!”The warning came too late. In the next second I found myself being thrown over Xan’s shoulder. I gasped when I hit the ground. When I opened my eyes, Xan was hovering over me with his brows dipped into a frown. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”I took his hand and allowed him to help me up. The moment I was on my feet, I dropped his hand and took a few steps back. “I can’t teach you anything if you’re not focused,” he growled. “Sorry.” I gave him an apologetic smile. It took some convincing but I finally got Xan to agree to teach me some self-defence without anyone’s knowledge. Axel quickly figured it out but only because he snuck up on me when I was showering and saw some bruises. Since then Xan had been careful not to leave bruises. “I’m just thinking about the rogues,” I lied. In truth my mind was on the surprise Ryder said he had planned for us later the night. Keiran received news that all the rogues surrounding the territory had disappeared. Af

    The rogues suddenly reappeared near the north-east border. And it wasn’t to observe us. They attacked, managing to kill a few pack members before it was reported. They left destruction in their wake as they moved deeper into our territory. I thought that we would be able to take them out without having to alert the pack. When the call came through, they said there were only two rogues, but as soon as one was killed, more showed up. “Ring the alarm!” I growled through the pack link. “Make sure everyone is locked in the safe house.” It didn’t take long before the blare of the alarms could be heard. Snarling, I tackled a rogue before he could jump on one of my men already locked in a fight. Claws dug into my middle. I kicked at him and then rolled away. The rogue rolled and then ran at me. I was prepared for him. We’d been training for this. The only way to kill a rogue was to remove its head from its body. I gasped when the rogue got the upper and dug its claws into my hip. Skin

    It felt like someone was hammering around in my head with a sledgehammer. It made me feel sick to the stomach. Groaning, I turned onto my side, or at least tried to. My eyes snapped open the moment I realized I couldn’t. I blinked and frowned at the man across from me. It didn’t take long for the memories to return. I swallowed, trying to fight the rising panic. He said that my mates weren’t going to find me. I still reached out through the bond. My hope soared only to deflate when I realized that I couldn’t sense Keiran or Axel. Tilting my head back, I stared at the chains wrapped around my wrist. A tug only resulted in the burning metal digging into my skin. Hissing, I turned my focus on the man across from me. Xan was tied in a similar position as me. He was shirtless and covered in blood and bruises. There was an ugly wound just above his right hipbone that was still bleeding. I frowned. “Xan?” I croaked. “Wake up!”He owed me answers. Xan was supposed to protect me yet he k

    A sound made my body jerk and my eyes snapped open. I blinked rapidly to clear the sleep from my eyes and realized with a sinking heart that Xan was no longer tied to the wall across from me. Someone else was leaning against the wall, staring down at me. “Look who’s finally awake.” A shudder raced down my spine at the sound of his voice. I barely interacted with him, but the brief time he had talked to me, made me dislike him. Especially after he tried to kill me. “I wish Dad would have told me about you,” Dean muttered. “He’s keeping a lot of secrets these days. But I was at the right place at the right time. Heard he caught a wolf.” He slowly straightened and moved closer. I tensed when he reached out to grip my chin and tilt my head back. “Dad should have told me what you are. I wouldn’t have rejected you.” “Then I would have rejected you,” I croaked. “I’d rather die than be mated to someone like you.” His face twisted in rage. I bit back a whimper when his ho

    “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
