Sol's POVI stepped out of the bathroom and quickly moved to the wardrobe to dress up.My mate's scent was stuck on my clothes, and I didn't want my wife to find out."Sir, she is settled in," Joan mind-linked me."Good. Is the Omega already there?" I asked."Yes, sir, she is there and by now she must be wrapping up," he answered."I will be there soon, but first I have to have a word with my wife," I said, then walked out of the room once I was done.I went into the living room where I found her reading a story to our pups."You are back," she whispered when she looked at me."Yes, my heart," I answered and then moved closer and leaned in, kissing her head."My heart, can you take a walk with me?" I asked seriously."I would love to, but I can't just leave the pups all alone," she answered."I'll mind-link Joan to look after them," I said.She kept quiet for a second with a concerned expression on her face then nodded."Get over here, right now," I commanded Joan through our mind-lin
Leah's POV"Damn it!" I screamed, then flipped the table over with a loud growl.Who the hell did she think she was? Just because she had his pups, he now thought less of mates! I was the one who was supposed to be by his side."Should we kill her?" Lucia asked seriously, then purred.She was having fun with everything that was going on because she knew how easy it would be for us to dominate her and make her grovel to us. After all, she was just a mere Omega."No, if we kill her now, Sol won't help us," I answered and then frowned deeply."What is shocking is how his wolf made his presence known only to protect her. I thought you guys were more connected and bonded than us. What werewolves feel should be deeper than what their humans feel, isn't it?" I asked as she laughed."You are correct, but just because we are mates, it doesn't mean we have no choice but to fight the pull or reject the other party and suffer the ties," she answered."So what you are telling me right now is that
Snow's POVWas I making a dumb decision going back to my pack when I was given the money to sustain me for a month and get me a decent job in human territory?I was back in the forest after taking two taxis and tipping the men for their services. I didn't want to shift because the coat was the only thing I had on me that could hold the band of money I was given. But then it was getting hard to travel on foot.A few days had gone by, and I was avoiding rogues, other supernatural beings, and territories occupied by other Alphas."Shit," I whispered to myself because I was very close to another Alpha's territory.It only made me feel uneasy because if they saw me, they would kill me on the spot if not torturing me."What will I say to Jace to have his forgiveness?" I asked myself silently.Going back was only going to make me a prisoner because he couldn't bring himself to kill me, that I knew."Paul, should we just take our own life?" I asked softly, even when I knew he couldn't hear a
Edith's POVI sat grumpily in an office full of men yet again. Why was I the only one being called among all the women?"You look angry," Harvey whispered softly as I shook my head and smiled at him.Of course, I was upset! Like how was it even possible that after our heart-to-heart talk we didn't see each other much?I get that he was busy with the pack. From handling the warriors to looking at the files on behalf of the Alpha. But why was he acting as if Jace was already dead!I understood that the Alpha preferred to spend more time with his mate than look at the pack files or train the warriors. I also got that his right hand was there for a reason, but then why the hell was Las useless? He rarely talked or did things!My so-called supposed blossoming love life was now dead. By now, we were supposed to be touching each other more and having sex!"No, don't think like that," I whispered silently to myself. Things were going slow and smooth between us; I was supposed to be happy lik
Edith's POVI walked out of the office and left the pack house with Harvey following closely behind.He was silent and kept a little distance between us."Tomorrow, will you let Talic take over?" I asked in a low tone.When I heard his footsteps stop, I too halted and turned to face him."What's wrong this time? Did I do something to offend you, or are you just tired of my presence?" He asked seriously."No, that's not it. I was wondering because I have never seen you both in a war mood, and it would be good to witness that," I answered as his expression softened."If that Alpha dares to start a fight, you will get to witness both me and Ridge in action," he said as I smiled.As he moved his hand to my cheek, my smile faded."I am sorry," he whispered softly as I swallowed hard.Why was he apologizing? Did he by chance realize how lonely I was all this time?"Why are you sorry?" I asked huskily."I was very busy and I neglected you for quite some time. I really wanted to see you, but
Amara's POV"Why are the pups already asleep?" Sol asked in a whiny voice, making me chuckle."Did you want us to dine together with them?" I asked as we walked into the passage going to the dining room."Of course, it has been a few days since I shared a table with them. I miss them dearly," he answered and then grabbed my hand, linking it to his."I apologize for everything that has been happening. I know how angry and hurt you must feel over me giving my mate a place to stay. To be honest, I want to kick her out but sadly I can't. I feel bad when she's upset and I get hurt whenever she's crying," he said as I wanted to rub my thumb against my ring but stopped.I was trying my best not to get angry or yell at him; after all, I understood how he was feeling. Not only did I run away from my pack because of my mate, I kept it all a secret."It's alright," I answered softly."My heart," he called in what sounded like a plea."It's really alright, I understand, mi amor," I whispered soft
Amara's POV"Joan, come to the dining room right now," Pride mind-linked him through our pack's mind-link, while looking at me as if I was a stranger.In just a few minutes, Joan walked in and bowed low in respect."Take that woman to a healer; she's losing a lot of blood," he instructed as he went around the table and widened his eyes in shock.He looked at me and then at Pride as if to question what had happened."I lost control and ended up hurting her when she was being disrespectful to my wife," he said as I raised a brow, stunned over how he was lying to his close friend just to protect me."I see, I'll take her to a healer right away," Joan answered and then leaned forward and lifted her in his arms.Although she was still alive, she was unconscious.As he walked out, I kept on wishing she could just die before a healer could heal her."Let's eat now, ílie mou," I said and then picked up a fork and a knife.When a few seconds went by without him sitting down, I cleared my throa
Pride's POVShe was crying in my arms, and that made me feel horrible. Sol was in shock over her story, and he didn't know how to react.When I took over back then, I didn't want to shut him off or push him into our subconscious; he saw all I saw and heard all I had heard.Our kind was very different from humans because here there were no cops or lawyers. The highest rank was the ones that held power, so killing wasn't that rare because I too killed. Whenever a rogue had crossed my pack's border or when someone disrespected me so much to the point of losing control, I killed. That's why I understood her story and felt very sad over how much she had to endure all alone."She went through so much," Sol whispered sadly."And you did nothing as her husband to lighten her burden," I answered silently."Pride, how was I to know about her...,""You didn't have to know! You had to make her warm up to you completely and submit. One who has fully submitted can never hold secrets. You made her f
Harley's P.O.V."Quit slacking off already, or else we will get in trouble," Molly whispered while mopping the floor. I rolled my eyes and glanced behind me for the eleventh time."Stop it," she said a little louder.I wanted to, but I couldn't help myself; I wanted to look at him when he walked in."For once, act like you are truly grateful to get a job at such an amazing company," Molly said seriously as I huffed softly."I'm sorry," I whispered while my hands tightened on the mop.I was more than grateful to be in such a well-known company that everyone dreamed of working in. Not only was it at the top of the business chain, but it was also very well respected and trusted. The only one who made all that possible was my savior, Mr. Glen Brown. Flashback ~ Ever since I can remember, I have always been on my own. I grew up in an orphanage that was always lively and friendly; sadly, I was the freak that everyone mocked just because I told the truth about how I heard
Talic's POV"Why are all you fuckers looking at me like that?" Ridge asked seriously when he sat down behind his desk in his office. He looked so pissed that I was wondering if it was because I had interrupted his time with his mate."It sure must be nice having a mate," Snow said, voicing exactly what we all were thinking. I had a mate, but the fact that she was in the mating phase sure was nice."What does that even mean? Talic has one too," he answered simply."Right, but unlike you, I am not getting any," I replied."Isn't that because you don't want to?" Las asked seriously."Well, not really. We had a lot going on, and just jumping into mating was a little too fast for me. She's human, just in case you guys have forgotten, and she's getting to know our pack. We also had a lot of things to discuss and...""Enough with those lame excuses. Do you think we believe them?" Ridge asked as I shrugged."Fine, she hated Harvey a lot, and I didn't want to hold her while she was feeling tha
Maila's POV"Ridge, please," I whispered huskily as he thrust his cock deeply, making me cry out.Hours went by, and he couldn't let me rest. My throat was slightly hurting, and my voice was husky. Sweat was running down my body, and my hair felt sticky.I was about to move from his grip when his low growl made me be still. His arm around me pulled me closer, and I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck.When he shifted a little and kissed where his mark was, I moaned out, his hand on my waist moving to my breast. As he stroked my nipple, he began to thrust violently in me as I cried out, my voice filling the room.Even when he came for the fifth time, he was still in me and he couldn't pull out.After knotting me twice, he seemed reluctant to do it again. Maybe because it was somehow painful for me, and he knew it."You provoked me first," he whispered huskily through our mind link as tears rolled down my cheeks."I'm so sorry, Maila. I can't stop myself, even though I hav
Maila's POV"Crazy, we are so crazy," Lillian whispered while we looked in the bathroom mirror.What was crazy about mating with your one and only partner? Nothing.Actually, what seemed so crazy was how long we took. When Lillian had that horrible dream, I knew it was my chance to influence her into claiming our mate as our own, yet we still failed terribly."Our goal was to have his mark and mark him. How on earth did we not manage to do that when our command was above his?" I asked furiously."I'm sorry," she whispered as I sighed and then smiled when our eyes went on the hickeys on our neck."No, don't be. I am proud of us because we still got to feel and touch him. Now that we did establish an intimate bond with him, all you need to do is let me handle the rest," I answered, then smiled when Lillian shut herself into our subconscious, leaving me in total control.I brushed my hand through my wet hair and then moved my fingers to my slightly bruised lips."No more failing this tim
Jace's POVI was woken up by a cold hand on my chest. I blinked a few times and then smiled when my eyes met Lillian's. She looked a lot better than I had thought she would, and that was a relief for me because hangovers were a very terrible thing to experience.Last night, I swore to sleep as early as I could, but I ended up staying up all night counting stars and looking at her, contemplating whether to take her in her sleep or not. It was already morning when I decided to sleep, but then I was woken up by her.It's not that I was complaining; looking at her made me feel refreshed."How long was I out?" I asked Ridge."A few minutes," he responded."Shit," I whispered and then smiled widely."Morning," I said huskily and then brushed my hand through her hair.She smiled back and then got on top of me, startling me."Morning to you too," she answered softly and then caressed my cheek as I tensed and held in my breath.What! What's going on? I screamed in my mind and was about to ask
Jace's POVI was so shocked to see that Harvey and I were the only ones left drinking and not drunk. The rest were laughing and chatting so loudly while trying very hard not to pass out."It's sick how my... body did me in the past," Lillian said, then laughed as everyone laughed with her except me and Harvey."Luna, try to speak clearly and make sense. I understood nothing," Harvey pointed out as they all stopped laughing."Oh my gosh!" Edith screamed, startling me."He is a popper! So much popper!" She screamed and then laughed as everyone did the same."It's called a party popper and for the record, I'm not," he answered seriously.He was beginning to get annoyed at the situation we were in."I suggest we call it a night. You take Edith with you and leave Snow and Las to drink themselves to death," I said and then looked at Lillian who was looking at me coldly."We're not drunk, I… sober. I'll show you jack... Jackass," she said in a cracked voice then tried to stand up.I quickly
Snow's POVI had a lot of thoughts going through my mind, and I felt bad thinking back on what had happened. Was our desperation to cling to Leah due to us being mateless?Just seeing the Alpha and Luna walk into the pack house hand in hand made me sad and cursed for not finding someone who was meant only for us."Paul," I called in a whisper, hoping he would awaken from our subconscious."Don't you think it's enough sleep for once? Should I forcefully wake you up?" I asked.I was about to do so when I heard footsteps approach me."Snow," Harvey called from behind.I turned and looked at him, then faked a smile.From the forest to the pack house, he and Edith were trying their best to make me take my mind off everything, but it wasn't working. I was very grateful to them, sadly, I got annoyed too."What is it?" I answered simply."Are we going in right now?" he asked."I will, just not right now," I answered simply as Edith approached us."If it makes you feel any better, that stupid
Lillian's POV"Are we going back with her to the pack?" Harvey asked through our mind-link."To be honest, I want her dead, but then again, that shouldn't be something I decide. I want Lillian to decide," Ridge answered and then looked at me for a second before focusing back on the road."Lillian, what do you want to do?" Edith asked from the back seat. She was sitting next to Harvey.I looked at the car behind us, which Snow was driving, and then at Ridge."He won't drive away with her, will he?" I asked seriously.In Snow's backseat was Leah, and I still didn't trust him. He looked like he could still betray us again."No, he won't. Right now, he truly wants to prove his worth to our Alpha, so he is careful with whatever he does," Harvey answered."Lillian, do you not know what you want to do to someone who has ruined your life and made it a living hell for you in the past?" Edith asked.I looked at her in the rearview mirror and then swallowed hard."Her dying so easily would make
Pride's POVSol was surprised by everything that was going on, but he still had his anger in check. Not only did I let him take over when I collided with that Beta, but he fought him without mentally preparing himself.It was dangerous and a cruel thing to do to him, that I knew. But what I wanted was a form of revenge towards him for hurting our wife."We are here," I said when we stood outside a ward.I didn't trust them at all, but something was clear. Firstly, they were not here for war because one who was thirsty for blood never reasoned. They reasoned with me using my weakness, and what they demanded was our mate, whom I wanted to get rid of. So why fight them when I could use them to get her away from my pack?Also, I noticed how the Alpha and I had similar ways of planning and thinking about things. It was surprising and kind of amusing at the same time."What exactly is the meaning of your words?" the Alpha asked behind me."He had an arrogance about him that I didn't like, w
