“Sure.” She wasn’t here last time, but she was a wolf. Getting our drinks, she slid those over to us. “Here you go, Alpha, Miss.” “Luna.” Ethan corrected. The girl was starting to turn when her body froze.“Luna?” She looked confused at me before returning to Ethan. Taking my drink, I took a sip.“Correct.” Ethan gave her a look before putting his arm around me and pushed me ahead of him. We walked down and around until we got to the staircase. Ethan had to pull out his keys and unlock it before we could go in. As soon as we were inside, Ethan closed the door and locked it.“This really is a great view.” I said, looking out into the entire bar. Ethan took my drink and set it down. Slipping his arm around me, he pulled me tightly against him. Slamming his lips on mine, he kissed me hard. “Yes, it is.” Ethan muttered as he kissed down my neck. “Oh.” I didn’t recognize the moan that escaped my lips. The sparks caused my brain to go fuzzy. All self control I had slipped away as he pick
“That’s it, lose yourself on me.” My hips started riding his hand on their own. With his thumb massaging my clit, he worked me. Right until I was about to cum. Putting a third finger in, my orgasm hit, making my body clinched around him. “Ethan!” I half yelled, half moaned as he sucked on a sensitive spot on my neck. Only when I was coming down, Ethan pulled out and helped me stand. “Can you walk?” He asked, trying not to laugh.“Not funny.” I said, trying to breathe.“Oh, it is. My little mate had her first orgasm because of these fingers.” He leaned down and made a show of putting his fingers in his mouth, licking them clean. Wanting to surprise him, I grabbed his head; I pulled him towards me. Shoving my tongue in there with his fingers, tasting myself. Ethan growled in his chest as his fingers ripped out of his mouth and he kissed me hard. “You are really tempting me, baby.” “Good.” I said as I let him go. Walking to the bathroom, I closed the door. After peeing, I washed my
“She knows. He told her when we first got here.” I downed my third drink and was feeling rather good. “So, he told a pack member he found his mate. I bet half the pack already knows.” Callie smiled.It was my turn to flick her, but I flicked her forehead. “Focus!” “Ouch!” Callie rubbed her forehead. “What are you thinking?”“Something equally bitchy but with authority.”“The best way is to mark each other.” Callie pointed out.I didn’t hesitate to flick her again. “This is serious.”“Fuck! I was serious!” Callie glared at me as I stood up and looked out the glass.“That’s not happening. Think of something else.”“The only reason you want to put her in her place is because you want Ethan and want to send a message to his side hoes to leave him alone. You’re accepting him.”“What side hoes?”“Yeah, what side hoes?” Ethan asked.“Stay out of it.” I glared at Ethan before looking at Callie. “Need another drink?” Damon asked.“I do, but I’ll get it.”“No, you girls stay here and I’ll han
“Callie, we actually had a very good date. Like you said, he is letting the fear of losing your mom on me. Don’t tell Damon that. We had a bet.” “Still...”“Callie, I’m not going anywhere.” I put my hand on her shoulder. “I’ve been so worried about him.” Was this girl drunk?“Let’s drink and just go back to having fun.” Handing her, her drink, her eyes glanced behind me. The sparks told me Ethan was with him. “I’m sorry.” Ethan whispered in my ear as he sat down on the stool. His arm slipped around me and pulled me between his legs. “If you say so.” I said as I sipped on my drink. Damon was engrossed in Callie. Honestly, after the feel of these sparks, I fully understood it.Ethan twisted my hips, so I was facing him. Keeping the straw between my teeth. “I can’t promise I won’t lose my shit when your life is in danger, but I’m sorry this has happened. You have to understand that. I’ll never be okay with your life in danger.”“I understand that, but you need to accept it is going t
“NO!” She looked crestfallen. “That’s cheating!”“So was going before you said go!” I laughed as I slid the bowl to her. “I’ll remember this.” Damon laughed as he kissed her forehead and got up. Ethan got up and was already messing around on his desk. “Ah, I love you.” I said as I kissed her cheek as she finished the bowl. “I don’t feel good.” Callie put her head down.“Mixing liquors will do that.” Laughing, I got up and grabbed my clutch. Damon tossed Callie over his shoulder. She lifted her head to wave bye, but they were already out the door. “Give me a minute.” Ethan was shutting down his computer.“No worries. Take your time.” Grabbing the bowl, “I’m taking this back down.” Ethan nodded, so I walked out of the office. It was still early, but it was busier than it was last time I was down but not crazy. “Here you go.” I slid the bowl back to Winston. “How was it?” He smiled as he took it back.“It was good. Might be a while before we order that again.” I laughed. “Are you g
“Shit... Um...” Rick started running his hands down the back of his neck. “Let this be a lesson. Size doesn’t matter. Never underestimate a person in their looks. You never know what training or blood a person has,” Damon yelled before walking up to Rick and punching him in the face. “Everyone give me ten laps!” Ethan roared. Instantly, everyone took off and Rick peeled himself off the ground. Even Travis took off, but he smiled at me.“I didn’t realize we were telling the pack.” I said, as Ethan came up.“You can’t keep beating up my warriors.” He glared at me.“Maybe you need to train your warriors better. I’m guessing you can ask my dad for help since you are so pressed to accept this bond now.” I was fucking pissed. I knew I pissed him off, and Damon closed his eyes and turned his head down to the ground. Turning around, I walked away. No one followed me as I made my way to my room to shower. Keeping it simple, I got dressed in a tank top, black bodysuit, and jean shorts. Letti
Knock! Knock! “Grace!” Callie’s voice filled my room as I opened my mouth to respond to Ethan. “Oh! I’m sorry, I can come back?” She looked at our body language and knew she had interrupted. “No, it’s okay.” I said, as Ethan walked out of the bathroom and out of my room. “I’m sorry...” Callie looked sadly at the open doorway. “Ready to go?” I asked, grabbing my purse. “Yeah, let’s grab breakfast.”“Here or...”“No, somewhere with fried foods.” Callie rubbed her stomach. “Can you drive?”“Of course.”“Thanks.” Callie still looked ragged, so I had a feeling we were staying home this evening. Walking out of my room, I was able to lock it before she hit the elevator button.The elevator dinged, and we could get on, but she looked even more questionable. “Are you going to throw up?”“Maybe.” Callie gave me a look. Thankfully, the elevator was fast. Callie ran straight out of the pack house and threw up in the bushes. I made it just in time to see Damon shake his head before walking up t
Ethan: good luck, beautiful. Me: thanks.“Grace!” I got up and went over to her. It took three people to put the transfer paper on me. Using my pictures, she positioned it on the side of my knee and wrapped each part around my leg. Slowly, they peeled it off. I looked at it as they did it. “How does it look?”“Amazing. You did amazing at capturing it!” I was blown away by how accurate it was. “Great, have a seat and we will get started.” Anson said. Getting on the chair, she got the supplies out.“Turn to your left a little... Perfect.” Doing as she said, she cleaned my leg and got started. “Here we go.” As soon as the needles went in, I was shocked.“Well, shit.” I said as she stopped and got more ink.“First one?”“Yeah.”“Are you okay?”“Yes, ma’am.”Pulling out my phone, I texted Ethan. Me: shit hurtsEthan: ha! TherapeuticTaking a picture, I sent it to Stella. Capturing it, tattoo time! Me to Ethan: sure, let’s go with thatStella: holy shit! Wish I was there! How is it?Me
“CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg
1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m
By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g
“What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there
Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark
After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea
Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.
Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than
Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann
