Garren's POV: "Aren't you exhausted?" I asked Roxanne softly, then yawned. The whole night, we chatted about our past lives and spent hours laughing and jokingly mocking each other. It was a first for me, and my desire for sex was easily overcome by my need to get to know her more. "Why should I be?" she asked back. "Because it's morning, and we didn't sleep a wink," I answered. She shifted in my embrace, then laughed softly. "I don't want to sleep," she whispered as I pulled her even closer. When a knock on the door came through, I cursed in silence, then slowly let her go and sat upright on the bed. "Roxanne," a familiar female voice called. "I'm coming," Roxanne answered and then got up and walked to the door. "Good morning, Nana," she greeted in a respectful tone once the door was opened. "Morning, child. Your father has asked me to invite you to his office," she answered. Roxanne looked at me with a frown, then back at her. "He wants to talk to me, why?" she asked as
Roxanne's POV: "This sucks," I whispered softly, then frowned deeply. "Are you still complaining about Garren being busy with his training?" Mother asked seriously, with a raised brow. Yes, I was! A week went by with him being overly busy with his so-called exercises. "It's not training, mother, it's exercises," I pointed out as she laughed. "Is that what he told you?" she asked. "Yes," I answered as she looked at me seriously. "Honey, he is definitely training," she said. A second ago, I had thought he really needed to exercise, but now that my mother had said how he was training, it became clear that he was. He usually made sure to wake up early before me to hit the training field. I thought he would return for breakfast, but he stayed there until lunch or supper. Whenever he was invited to dine with the family, he declined and went on to say how he didn't need to eat like we all did because of him being partially a vampire. Then he would go into his room, making me take hi
Garren's POV: "Forward," I instructed Kyle as he moved swiftly and hit the rolling ball with ease. "Perfect," I said loudly. He stood upright, taking a labored breath and brushed his hand through his hair. "I'm so fucking tired," he whispered softly. "You shouldn't show such weakness or speak that way when you are an Alpha," I warned seriously. He looked at me from head to toe, then took a few steps closer. "Why do you act as if we have been friends for a long time?" he asked as I smirked. "Because you are my mate's younger brother," I answered in a low tone. It's not like I didn't feel the same way. This was our eighth time training together, yet it felt like we had been doing this for a very long time. Since I came to the training field and saw him training, I couldn't help but notice how some of his moves were reckless. When I pointed it out to him, he challenged me to show him some of my perfect movements, which I gladly did. Since then, he decided to show me some of h
Angelina's POV: "Oh my, you are up early," my mother said when she entered the kitchen in her wheelchair. "Yep, I rarely oversleep," I answered, then kept quiet, thinking back on my encounter with Roxanne. Was she hot? Totally! Was she my type? Obviously. I was a full-on lesbian, or at least that's what I thought. Although I had no interest in men, that didn't mean I couldn't appreciate a good-looking one. I cared more for women because of the level of understanding we shared. Not only did they treat me like a queen, but our bond was top-level. We shared a lot of things in common and spent most of our time in peace. I felt for them hard and held on even harder. No one in my pack knew about my preference, and I was planning to keep it that way. My mother and father would not only flip, but they would force me out of the pack with their words. As much as I feared them, I just couldn't control myself. I was so scared of hurting their feelings, but at the same time, I hated pretendi
Angelina's POV: I knocked on Ian's door and patiently waited for his response. "Angelina, come in," he answered loudly. I opened the door and hesitantly walked in. He sat behind his desk, looking at his laptop. "Morning, uncle," I greeted as I closed the door behind me. "Morning, dear. Do take a seat," he responded, then closed his laptop. I moved to the couch and sat down, facing him. After my mother had told me everything and what was going on, I couldn't believe it. But then again, she could never joke or lie about something like that. Now everything became clear to me. I finally knew the reason why I was ordered to return to the pack without an actual explanation. "Uncle, I heard what is going on from my mother, but just to confirm, are you truly going to ambush the coven?" I asked. "Of course, that's why you were asked to return back home. If anything goes wrong on that side, we will have to find a healer ready in our pack," he answered. "Uncle, pardon my question, bu
Roxanne's POV: I stood in the clinic corridor, leaning against a wall with a wide smile across my face, thinking about what had happened last night. It wasn't much touching but more kissing. I knew he was holding himself back, and I was happy that he was because our mating would be special and worth it when we do mate. The only sad thing was that he refused to drink from me, no matter what I said. He was acting as if I was going to die if he did feed from me when he had already drunk my blood back at his mansion. "That's a really pretty smile you have on there, Roxy," Angelina said as she approached me. "Angie," I whispered, and then stood upright and looked at her seriously as I tried to compose myself. "It's good to see that you are already taking the initiative to meet the other healers and doctors of this clinic," I said once she was standing in front of me. She looked at me from head to toe, then chuckled softly, making me feel uncomfortable. Something about her made me ve
Garren's POV: "Easy," I whispered in a husky, cracked voice and threw my head back as she sucked the tip of my cock with her warm tongue. How did we even end up in this situation? It was entirely her fault for getting aroused while talking to us on the training field. The way she looked at me and how she reacted made it so fucking obvious that she was thinking about me, and I was very affected by that. Blowing off steam by training was a good idea to keep my mind off of sex. But then she was right in front of me, and all I could think about was taking her. When the bastard approached us and commented on how the training field wasn't a mating ground, I snapped. I grabbed Roxanne, putting her on my shoulder, and walked with her to my room. Immediately, she was let down. I completely took off my clothes in front of her, startling her. "If you want, you can back out now. But if you don't want to go but make me feel good, then completely take off your clothes and get down on your knee
Garren's POV: Ian looked at everyone in his office, as if telling us to back away if we weren't ready to go through with everything. Roxanne held my hand, and she would smile here and there to keep me calm. I was very nervous, and there was no way of hiding it because the planned day was finally here. "Is Felix joining us?" Neo asked seriously. "I don't..." Amelia cut her words short when a portal appeared right in front of us. Lee looked at us without stepping out, then turned with his hand waving. "Come along, Felix. Whitney and the rest are waiting," he said as Ian wasted no time walking into the portal. The rest soon followed, and the only ones left standing were Roxanne and me. "We'll be fine. Let's go," she whispered. I nodded, then walked into the portal with her. When we stepped out of the portal, we found Ian giving Whitney a murderous look. "Why are you here?" he asked her coldly. "I'm here to stand next to the Alpha Queen I serve," she answered simply. "What a
