Fred felt the change within her. Ava opened her lips taking him deep into her mouth. He also sensed her wolf was close to the surface once again. What he sensed was the wolf’s desire to please him. He knew Ava was safe. The wolf was not going to try to get out providing she got what she wanted and was sated. He would do anything to sate the wolf and protect Ava.What he found in the other pack’s house worried him. A pack that close to him was experimenting, and he’d not known what they were doing. He’d talked to his father, who was as shocked as he was. They had both agreed to increase the search for his sister. There was no way he was giving up. Fred could not leave his sister in the hands of lunatics.The very thought of his sister in pain sent the lust away. Forcing the memories of what he’d seen to the back of his mind, Fred brought himself back to the present. Ava’s mouth was doing wicked things to his cock, and as he inhaled her fragrance his cock thickened once again.One of hi
After she phoned work organizing the vacation time for the month to spend as Fred’s toy, Ava was able to relax. She loved her life as a human. Yes, there was no one to live her life with and she never trusted men, but it was her life. She enjoyed baking and helping out at the homeless shelter several blocks from her apartment. Work as a receptionist in the advertising firm was fun. No one, apart from the close employees, ever remembered her. She liked her life like that. Ava had watched women who struggled to work because of all of the male attention.There was a time she’d wanted something similar, but then she’d wised up. No one would ever bother her enough to make working hard. She didn’t know everyone who worked in the building as she didn’t venture farther than the ground floor staff room. Max stood with her as Jane was inside making breakfast for the members of Fred’s pack who’d stayed behind.She wasn’t allowed to leave the house unless Max or one of the men was with her.“I’m
Fred fisted his hands as Ava held onto the bar. He’d never seen a cage made out of silver before. The look on her face let him know it wasn’t the worst thing to have happened. His father hadn’t found anything out about experiments, but he knew Ava was the only one close enough to have any information.His father had asked for him to try to get some information out of Ava. He hated the pain he was causing her. The disgust she felt was rolling off her in waves. She despised this place and feared it with equal measure. “How can they have affected my memories?” Ava asked.“What do you mean?”“I remember being here, but I also remember sweating, panicking as I watch something happening over there.” Ava released the bar and walked over to the science table. She reached out as if to touch it then pulled her hand away. “I need to get out of here.”Fred ran after her as she charged out of the house. For a half breed she was fucking fast. Out in the sunlight he chased after as she ran over the
One week into her stay Ava sat in the garden playing cards with Jane. Jane was on the swing staring up at the sun. The girl was taking the death of her family really well. The rest of the men were inside having a meeting. Four cars had arrived that morning, and Ava knew they were all Alphas from different packs. Jane placed her palm on top of the deck as the two cards matched.“What’s going on with you, Ava?” Jane asked.“Nothing. I’m just wondering what the meetings all about,” she said, pressing a card on top of the others. Glancing toward Jane, she couldn’t help but be worried about the young girl.“She’s doing fine, you know.”“How do you know? Her family was killed before her eyes. She should be feeling something.”“The men have been talking, and Jane was considered a mutt amongst the pack.”Ava frowned, looking back at Jane. Whenever she’d been at the house, Jane was treated like a princess even though she recalled the young girl not smelling like the rest of the pack. In fact,
Fred stared at the file with her name on. He couldn’t tell her the only reason they’d kept her alive was because of him. They had known all along who’d bitten her, but they kept Ava from him, masking her scent so he couldn’t find her. His father knew what was happening, and he also knew about Fred taking Ava as a toy.“It’s not the best way to get your woman to stick around you, son,” his father had said.Fortunately, he’d agreed not to tell Fred’s secret about him being the one to bite her.Ava reached for another piece of chicken, and he caressed her stomach. His seed had taken within her. She was no longer fertile but pregnant with his baby. “All of these files.”“There are about twenty,” he said.“Does that include mine and Jane’s?” she asked, biting into another piece of chicken.“No. It’s twenty-two if you include yours. My sister is in there as well.”“What does her file say?”“It’s stamped with ‘escaped’ over it.”Ava tapped his hand, moving away from him. He watched her wipe
Fred’s apartment was entirely different from his house that he shared with the pack in the county. Glancing out of the window on the tenth floor, Ava wondered what the attraction was with heights. If anything happened to his windows he would plunge to his death. Staring down at the concrete floor, she took a step back needing the comfort of the ground.He’d left her in his sitting room to take a shower. Looking around the room, Ava was embarrassed by her small apartment. What surprised her was how close they lived together. She was about five blocks away from him. They could have crossed paths in the street, and she wouldn’t have even realized it.Not possible, you’d remember a man like Fred.The sound of the shower being turned off alerted her to his presence. Turning to the sound of him getting closer she felt her cheeks heat at the sight of him wet and covered in only a towel.“How can you live so far up?” she asked, turning back to look at the window. Heat flooded her body, and sh
What would she do? Fred didn’t know if he’d pushed too far. She was begging him. His wolf was pushing against the walls of their bodies ready to mate. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that Ava was the woman he’d bitten. The one woman he was supposed to be with for the rest of his life. She was his mate. His father had confirmed it after their time together in the study.Holding himself off her, Fred waited.What would it take for her to give herself to him?You were the one who made her a toy.He couldn’t take back that moment. Fred knew he wouldn’t have felt her in his arms if he hadn’t thrown out the ultimatum. He didn’t know what he would have done when he got to her that night. There was no way he would have killed her. Did she even realize the power she had over him? Zedi had the same kind of power over Roger. Mates were bound to follow each other. It was a blessing and a curse within equal measure.“Please, Fred, make love to me. Fuck me, give me everything.” She begged him o
Ava moaned as she rolled over. Her body was pounding, and the sounds coming from around her were not helping matters. The sun was too hot glaring at her. Falling to the floor she put a hand to her neck feeling the raw flesh that was slightly swollen.Pulling her hands away she saw her fingers were clear. There was not a drop of blood on her fingers. Standing up, she stumbled into the bathroom where she found a chunk of her neck was red and swollen. Fred’s loss of control was staring at her blankly. Her hands were fine even though she recalled his paws had come through.“Ava?” Fred asked. Turning around she saw him leaning against the door frame, staring at her.“What? What the hell happened? Why have I suddenly become a fucking chew toy?” She glared at him wondering how she’d survived the night. Pressing a hand to her stomach she was ready to call him out when another female was calling out her name.Frowning, she stared at Fred then past his shoulder.“My mom and dad are here, and th
Three months laterLilly stared up at the sun as Scott caressed her face with a daisy. The last three months had been a whirlwind of activity. The biggest change for her was the tattoo she now held on her back with a wolf and Scott’s name underneath. The love she felt for her mate had grown, and every day that passed without the vampire’s enthrallment had brought her closer to Scott. There were no lies, and they were inseparable.Alexander and Charles remained in town, but everyone else had left to go and deal with their own covens or packs. The fear of the Disaster of the Otherworld still stayed with all of them. Lilly wouldn’t forget the mark of the cult that was determined to ruin all of their lives.“How are you feeling?” he asked. “Loved.”He chuckled. Scott moved the daisy down to her exposed breast. They’d made love in the fields next to the lake. He wouldn’t let her out of his sight, a
Scott held Lilly’s hand as he made his way through the forests. He felt the happiness of his pack as they saw her. Alexander and Charles were standing at the head waiting for him. Crazy Lizzy danced toward him.“This is the right thing to do. You’re saving yourself and her,” Lizzy said, smiling. She wrapped her arms around Lilly. “Soon, we’ll be good friends and Layla will too. I can’t wait for Layla to join our friendship. She’s going to be a hoot. You just need to drop that pesky thrall.”Lizzy danced away. He watched as she wove her way around his pack. Alaric stood without his shirt with his bears. Gripping her hand tightly, Scott made his way toward the head. Several murmurs erupted when they saw the state of his back. Lilly had marked him deeply. Her scent covered him. The smell of strawberry and vanilla permeated the air.When he got to the head of the pack, Scott took the time to show Lilly to his vis
Scott watched her head toward the door. Her depth of emotion startled him. And she’d been right in everything she said.You can’t let her get away. She’s our mate.We need her.Fix her and keep her.Charging to the door he placed a hand on the hard wood against her head.He closed the door. Her shoulders slumped as her head rested against the door. “What are you doing?” she asked, quietly.“I’m sorry.” With his free hand he brushed the hair off her neck. “You’re my mate, Lilly. I’m an idiot. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I’m a wolf, and I’m the alpha, and for the first time I was scared.” He cupped her neck, stroking the pulse that pounded under his touch.“You’re doing this on purpose,” she said. Her voice sounded breathy. Arousal gripped him as he pressed against her. Every time he was arou
Scott made his way up to the house with his men behind him. The first of the meetings were scheduled for tonight, and he needed to get there before the sun went down. He’d spent most of his time at the diner watching Lilly. She served him without really seeing him. He’d never anticipated her anger like he did. Alaric had been right, and he’d get punished for keeping Lilly secret. They all had rules, and lying about his mate broke the rules.Lewis refused to talk to him, and he sensed Darcy and Nathan’s disapproval.Crazy Lizzy sat on the steps outside the house. She stared up at the sky. “You’re early,” she said.“I’ve got nowhere else to be.”“Everyone is waiting for you.” Lizzy stood then walked into the house.He turned to his men. “I know you think I did the wrong thing, but you’ve got to understand I was doing what I thought was right to protect her.”“You’ve put her in more danger by refusing her claim by your side. I sense her leaving us,” Lewis said.“I won’t let Lilly leave.
With Crazy Lizzy’s words ringing in his ears Scott went in search of Lilly. The sun was coming up, and several of the pack greeted him as he passed. He ignored their comments and went in search of his woman. He recalled the conversation he had with Lizzy last night, and he was still confused. Why would someone know about Lilly? How did they know about her when he only sensed it after her birthday?Crazy Lizzy had spoken of the prophecies in detail last night, especially when Scott pressed her for more details. Centuries ago Crazy Lizzy’s birth mother wrote everything down she saw into the future. Her mother didn’t see the near future but the far future. These prophecies were bound and hidden so no one would try to destroy them. Amongst those bound prophecies was the foretelling of Scott’s human mate. He’d be the first wolf to mate with a human female.Not only was Lilly supposed to be human, but she was destined to be the greatest were-human-queen that lived. She would birth many sons
Scott watched Lewis take her away. His heart ached, and he felt her crumbling inside. Her mind was screaming in pain, but he wrapped his arm around Lori and turned toward the two vampires that had interrupted his mating.“You don’t mind your mate fucking a human?” Charles asked.“He has needs. I’m not always available to satisfy them,” Lori said. She ran her hand down his ass. He gripped the hand firmly stopping her. He’d sent Lilly away to protect her. Scott had no intention of cheating on her. Lilly owned his body.“I’m the alpha of this pack. I don’t answer to anyone,” Scott said, drawing their attention back to him. His pack was behind him. He sensed their unease with Lori by his side. They’d be able to sense his true mate and her distraught emotions. He could, and it was kicking him in the gut. Lewis better be doing everything he could to help her.“I find the whole meeting
Scott sensed Lilly’s nerves. She was wound tighter than a piece of string. If he didn’t get her to settle down he’d not be able to claim her. He was going to fuck her tonight, but there was no way he’d do it if she was going to hurt herself by not relaxing. He was pleased no other man had touched her, but in that moment he wished she’d gotten a little experience. His passions were anything but gentle. Staring down at her, he watched as she fought to keep his gaze. “No rushing,” he said. He stroked her nipple watching as her eyes dilated. Lilly was turned on by his touch. She nodded her head. Caressing her body with his fingers Scott felt the heat building in him. His cock was thick. After being around Lori and her scent surrounding him, Scott needed to be with Lilly. Lori repulsed him. Every woman who wasn’t his mate repulsed him. Bending down he took her lips under his. Inhaling her vanilla scent he ran his hands all over her body. She moaned, writhe
Scott waited out in the chilly night for Lilly to finish. He’d spent most of the night inside the diner eating and watching her work. When she bent over he got so many sinful thoughts that he’d spent most of the night rock-hard. Lewis stood waiting with him. Darcy and Nathan had left several hours ago. Their disapproval filled the air around them. The pack were slowly finding out about Lori taking Lilly’s place by his side for this visit. He’d need to have a meeting to explain his decision.The scent of disapproval came off Lewis.“Go on, spill,” Scott said, folding his arms.“I’m not saying a fucking word. I’ve said everything that needs to be said. You know my position, and I’m not backing down from it.” Lewis was waiting for Layla to finish.The other man helped her home safely. With the creatures of the Otherworld present the humans were not safe. In the next twenty-four hours the vamps
Scott joined Lori, and together they moved in the direction of the house in the far forest. Over the last few days several witches and warlocks had turned up, along with two other wolf alphas and the leader of the bears next to his.Nathan, Darcy, and Lewis stood outside the house as yelling came from inside.He was thankful the woman at his side remained quiet on the walk up. “What’s going on?” he asked.All three men turned to him. They glared at Lori before turning back to him.“They’re getting pissed with being trapped in the house. We’re waiting for several more bear leaders along with vamps to turn up. Crazy Lizzy almost burnt the place down to the ground earlier,” Nathan said.“What? Why?” Scott headed towards the front door.“She was setting fire to towels. The flame caught the curtain, and instead of putting it out, she watched the pretty colours. Her words not mine,”
