Evan's p.o.vAlmost everything was a pain to us. A few weeks had gone by and we were always busy and tired. At first I thought we were supposed to focus on rebuilding the warriors wing but man was I wrong, Uncle wanted us to build more houses around and a large training field. We also had to put a fountain right after the pack's entrance and a parking garage behind the pack house.I was usually grumpy because I mostly went to bed very late at night and we couldn't talk or chat to our mate because she was usually fast asleep.Early in the morning we went back to work again. The only time we saw her was when we were having breakfast or supper but we spoke less.My wolf was frustrated and I understood him."You look pissed." Ryan said in a low tone."No shit." I spat sarcastically."Who offended you, is it August?" He asked playfully."August can't even look our way, he's keeping his distance." I answered then pressed my hand on my hip."Then who crossed your path?" He asked seriously.
Lexi's p.o.vI was moaning loudly and trying to push his finger's out of my wetness as he continued to finger me."Enough, please." I begged then threw my head on the pillow and shifted my hips forward.It was slightly painful to have his two fingers thrusting roughly in and out of me, but it also made my body want more.His other hand was groping my breast while his thumb brushed against my nipple over and over.How the hell were we doing this when a second ago we were just kissing.My forehead was sweaty and my breath was badly labored. No matter how much I was begging him to stop, he was ignoring me and doing whatever he wanted. A part of me was afraid, but the other part was very happy and excited."Evan." I called in a low voice that came out as a moan.He stopped his movements and looked at me seriously. His eyes were switching from his usual color to a different one.When I had called him a few minutes ago and told him how it was beginning to hurt, he stopped for a second but
Evan's p.o.vI was laying down resting and feeling at peace with Lexi in my arms. Although she was quiet I could Sense that something was wrong."What's wrong?" I asked in concern."I was thinking about a lot of things." She answered."Okay and...." I trailed off to encourage her to continue."It looks like you thought I was a kid, if that was the case then Ryan thinks the same too right?" She asked."Yes." I answered honestly."Lexi, you are attractive and very beautiful that I can't lie. But you also look younger than your age. There were a lot of times that our sexual urges became unbearable to handle but the thought of you being very young made us hold on to our control. Now that I know you aren't that young, I won't be able to stop myself." I said softly."You mean..""Yes, I will be touching you everywhere and whenever I want to." I answered seriously.She opened her mouth to say something when the door opened and Ryan walked in looking at us coldly."Ryan." Lexi called then qu
Whitney's p.o.vA few weeks quickly went by and the territory was looking amazing. Everything was in order and it was the first time we were finishing so much work in just a little time. I was also impressed with how well the twins worked, they supervised the other warriors thoroughly and made sure they weren't slacking off. Despite being too clingy to Lexi for the past few days, they weren't distracted by anything.I was beginning to think of them as family but it didn't sit well with me one tiny bit. They still had to prove their worth."Are you alright?" Leo asked softly then sat next to me on a bench which was opposite the newly built fountain."I am, I was just thinking about the twins." I answered honestly."Why?. Did they do something disrespectful?" He asked softly.I turned and faced him with a smile."You are always looking out for me." I whispered softly then pressed my hand on his arm gently."Thank you." I whispered.He chuckled softly then leaned in and bumped my should
Lexi's p.o.vI was woken up by loud laughter in my room.I quickly sat upright with a rapid beating heart and rubbed my blurry eyes.Whitney stood close to my bed with her hand linked to Leomord's while the twins were sitting on each side of the bed next to me."What's going on?" I asked huskily."Happy birthday." The twins said together.I tensed for a second then smiled happily."Is it today?" I asked loudly."Of course dear." Whitney answered.I kept quiet then laughed softly.It felt different having people wake me up than those days I stayed alone. The twins leaned in at the same time and kissed my cheek gently."Happy birthday again." Ryan whispered.I moved my hands to his cheeks and kissed his forehead happily."Thank you." I said while I pulled back.Evan cleared his throat loudly, getting my attention."Here too." He said as he tapped his lips with his fingers.I smiled widely then leaned in and kissed his lips."You guys cut it out and tell her already." Whitney said serio
Whitney's p.o.v"It's done." I said happily.She opened her eyes then smiled at me."Can I see myself in the mirror?" She asked."Of course dear." I answered then took a step back for her to stand up.She stood up from the bed and looked at her clothes for a second then frowned."What?" I asked quickly."Nothing." She answered, then walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror.Her expression was serious and pale."What?" I asked in concern then walked to her and looked at the mirror too."I think I'm overdressed or something." She answered in a low voice."What nonsense are you talking about? You look perfect." I said with a wide smile.She turned and looked at me sadly."Are you sure?" She asked."Of course." I answered then cursed when a loud knock came through."Obviously it's them." I said then walked to the door and opened it.A she-wolf stood there with her gaze lowered to the ground. She was putting on a short shirt and braless blouse. Her shirt was tied in
Evan's p.o.v"You look grumpy." I said honestly."That's because I am, also who's fault do you think that is?" Uncle asked in a sarcastic tone. Very early in the morning when most pack members were still asleep, Whitney drove out giving us the perfect chance to talk to Uncle. We had no idea where to take our mate. This territory was new and we didn't know which area was safe or not yet. His reply was simple and cold. "Do you think I fucking grew up here?" We had to think fast, that's why we went to August. The dude hated us a lot but he liked our mate, that was our advantage. When we asked him where we could take our mate for her eighteenth birthday, he immediately suggested a place and offered to help us set it up. We didn't like his words and we didn't trust him at all!. The only way to accept his help was if uncle would go with him and monitor his every step.At first uncle refused but later on gave in after our persuasion. While they went out, I and Ryan drove out to get our m
Ryan's p.o.v"You are lame." I mind linked Evan while I was driving."Why are you saying that?" He asked through our mind link."You have not spoken a word to our mate for almost half an hour. You are just looking at her like a weirdo." I answered."That's because I'm mesmerized by her beauty." He said shamelessly."Good way to make her uncomfortable." I mocked and then parked the car at the side of the road when I saw a huge tree with yellowish leaves ahead of us. It looked exactly as they had described."We are here." I said softly then glanced at the rearview mirror.Lexi looked at me with a smile then she lowered her gaze to her purse which was set on her lap. She was usually talkative around us but this time it was different, while I was driving she was quietly looking at the window every few minutes and that bothered me."Was she unhappy over something?" I wondered.I got out of the car and quickly went to her door, opening it for her."Here my lady." I said softly while extend
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
Kyle's POV "Son, calm down," my dad said softly.I glared at him, then shifted my gaze to the side.How could he even ask me to calm down when my mate was struggling in the labor ward to give birth?"Dad, you don't get how I feel right now, so don't tell me to calm down," I answered seriously."You really think I don't understand? I felt that way twice when you and your sister were being born," he said, then moved his hand to my shoulder.I looked at him sadly and rubbed my forehead with my fingers."Wasn't I supposed to be in there?" I asked while looking at the labor ward."Yes, but your mother is right there by her side," he answered.I had been so focused on the pack documents the past few weeks that I paid less attention to Yuki.When the news of her going into labor reached me, I panicked and dropped everything I was doing.And right now, I was feeling so guilty that I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most.I had been standing outside for what felt like forever, and eac
Mariana's POV I sat looking at Roxanne's little pup as I clenched my hands into fists.He was so innocent, yet I knew he would grow up to be the very thing I despised the most because of the blood flowing through his veins.His mother was an Alpha Queen, while his father was a very powerful hybrid. The chances of him becoming any of his father's breed were high, but his chances of becoming an Alpha King were even higher.Would killing him in secret be a bad thing?I quickly averted my eyes when the pup smiled at me.He sat playing with a sword toy, and a powerful witch stood close to the door's entrance, watching his every movement."Excuse me, Miss Alpha Queen. Why do you look at the young master like that?" she asked seriously.Damn it, was it so obvious that I was thinking badly of him?I didn't want anyone to know or find out what my exact thoughts were, at least not now. If I was going to kill the little pup, I had to do it discreetly."You must not have heard the news from Rox
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
