Lexi's POV: I felt a little sore and slight pain as he pushed in. My mind was in a haze, and my breath was loud and labored. I felt it was unfair that he made me orgasm twice, yet I couldn't get him to do the same. All I wanted was to make him go crazy over me and bind him with me even deeper. His nose touched the skin of my neck, making me relax. His warm breath tickled my skin slightly before his warm lips touched it. "Is it still painful?" he asked huskily without making any movements. Yes, it was still slightly painful, but I didn't want him to feel bad or pull out. We both wanted this, so I wasn't going to say anything to ruin our moment. I moved my hands and touched his face gently, making him look at me. He had a pained expression on his face and in his eyes that I could see. He was doing everything in his power to hold himself back. Even without words, I could feel how much he cherished and loved me. I too wanted to show him how much I adored him. "I want to feel more
Sherry's POV: As soon as I heard footsteps, I held in my sobbing voice and waited for someone to speak or do something. When the cell door opened, I quickly moved backward. "Hi," a gentle female voice greeted me, followed by a motherly scent. I swallowed hard and sighed in relief as tears continued to roll down my cheeks. Her gentle voice and scent reminded me so much of Nana. "Are you here to kill me?" I asked in a low tone. "What? No way. I'm here to take you out of here," she answered. I sniffed, then shook my head to refuse. I had no idea how the pack members were. Moreover, the alpha gave off a strong aura, and his voice was scary. If the pack was similar to Ian's, then I was going to die a very painful death. "I prefer to die a quick death," I said in a cracked voice. "Dear, there is no way you are going to die today or any day. By the way, I heard how painful it is to be tortured in the dungeon. If you stay longer here, the Alpha... I mean our leader might actually forg
Damon's POV: My mate was crying and slightly trembling in fear on the ground as water poured on us. I stood a meter away from her in just my boxers, watching her every movement sadly. It wasn't my intention to scare her at all. All I wanted was to be close to her. When I walked into my bedroom, I was surprised to pick up Maggie's scent as well as my mate's. I knew she was the one who was going to take good care of her because she was very specialized in looking after the injured, sick, and mostly those people who wanted to end their lives due to having no hope to live on. She was like the mother of our pack who everyone respected and looked up to. What I didn't expect was her choosing my room to help her bathe. I guessed that my Beta had told her that she was my mate. When it came to her, my beta openly told her everything without holding back. At times, I hated that about him, but most times I was happy that he did. When she came out of the bathroom and mind-linked me on how sh
Ryan's POV: Was I jealous? Totally. I could hear her moans and whispers coming from her room. Call me a freak, but for a second, I stood at her door, debating with myself whether to go in and join them or not. Her fucking cries were so alluring. They made me hard the very minute I had heard them, and I wanted to burst in my jeans. I groaned loudly while stroking my cock aggressively, nearing my release in my bathroom. Imagining how her body reacted and how her facial expression was, it made me stroke even harder. I needed to be patient with her and allow her a few days of rest. That's what my mind was telling me, but my body wanted me to fuck her as soon as Evan left her side. I groaned even louder when I ejaculated with a shudder. A shiver of pleasure spread throughout my body as the water in the shower rolled down my body. I looked at my cum on the floor, which was mixed with water, then closed my eyes for a second, giving my cock a few last strokes. "I am turning into a p
Sherry's POV: "Was I the Alpha's mate?" That question went through my mind over and over again. I couldn't understand why he treated me well and spoke to me in a gentle voice. Also, the fact that he was apologizing more than he should came as a shock to me. No matter how I looked at it, he was acting like a mate should. If only I had my wolf, I would have known. Weeks ago, I thought a second chance mate was a myth. But then I saw that woman who stood next to Neo, and I realized that they really did exist. If the Moon Goddess gave second chances, then was she giving me him in order to let me redeem my past sins?. Either way, I was very scared of everything and couldn't seem to accept it. How would he react if he found out that I wasn't human?. Would he still want me with my rotten past?. Would he reject me if he knew how I had almost killed an Alpha due to wanting more power? I was scared, very scared of having him as a second chance mate. "You can rest for a bit," Maggie said. I q
Damon's POV: I was crying because I had been too strong by myself all this time. I was crying because I had found a mate who was kind and willing to be in my embrace. I was crying because I had endured so much without shedding tears for years. Having her arms around me and hearing her comforting voice made me succumb to my weak side. I held her tightly in my arms and rested my head against her shoulder. There was no need to talk about the past in that moment, but we both knew that whatever we had gone through had been very hard for us. When the door opened and Maggie walked in, I quickly pulled back, wiped away my tears, and turned to look at her. She stood at the entrance with a tray in her hands. Her sad expression made me force a smile across my face. "Is that her food?" I asked in a cracked voice while moving my hand back to touch my mate's hand. "Yes," she answered in a low tone. "Good, bring it here," I said, then turned and faced my mate with a genuine smil
Sherry's POV: "Sleep in his room? What exactly was he implying?" I thought to myself. Was he going for my body now that we were both deciding to get to know each other? "Please don't misunderstand me. I will be sleeping on the couch while you take the bed. I would have given you a room or asked Maggie to share hers. Sadly, I can't because I have my reasons," he said. I kept quiet and then nodded. I guess he really did have his own reasons. After all, he was the alpha. "Now then, please open your mouth before the soup gets cold," he instructed. I bit my lower lip and placed my hands together. "Sherry," he called, and that made me open my mouth. After taking a spoonful in my mouth, I couldn't help but smile. It felt like forever since I had tasted something as tasty as the soup. "Is it to your liking?" he asked in a low, concerned tone. "Yes, it's very much to my liking," I answered, then continued to open my mouth willingly. It was somehow embarrassing, but I was hungry, and
Ryan's POV: I sat on the bed, staring at Lexi while she knelt next to me with her gaze lowered to her lap. A few days had gone by, and I was waiting patiently for her to be ready to mate with me. When she called me into her room, I had no idea what she wanted to talk about, but for some reason, I felt very nervous, and I could tell she was too. "You wanted to talk to me, right?" I asked softly. She looked up and nodded. "Yes, but for some reason, I feel embarrassed before even saying what I wanted to say," she answered. "Okay, then will it help if I turn and face the other side? That way, I won't stare at your face when you speak?" I asked. "Yes, that would really help," she answered as I slowly turned and faced the other side. "You can now tell me everything you want to say. Also, please don't hold back," I said. A few seconds went by, then I felt the bed dip, and I heard her shift closer to me. I wanted to turn and look at her, but my wolf growled in warning to keep me in on
Kyle's POV It felt so unreal when my father called Larson and me into his office to tell us how we had to prepare ourselves because tomorrow the ceremony was going to take place.All we could do was look at each other and then at him in excitement. We were also nervous about everything."How are you feeling?" Larson asked me seriously.We were in the training field exercising."A little of everything. You know, scared, nervous, excited, and happy," I answered simply."What about you? How do you feel?" I asked."I feel so nervous and scared, but also excited because I have always looked forward to standing by your side when you take over as Alpha," he answered."I'm glad," I said honestly."Larson and Kyle, go to the border right now," my father's command came through the pack's mind link."Gosh, what now?" I whispered and then began to walk to the border with Larson right by my side."Maybe we are receiving other visitors," he said."Like who? Every member of our family is right in t
Ian's POV"Are you sure they aren't close by?" I asked Neo."I am positive, Ian. Tamara, Lexi, and Yuki went to give Tanya a tour of our pack. As for Blade, Larson and Kyle, they went to help Nana and Sharon with something," he answered."Okay," I whispered, then cleared my throat and looked at everyone seriously."I'm glad to have you all here today, and I'm also kind of proud of you, August, for choosing your mate instead of some women who took you out of your misery," I said, then laughed softly when he rolled his eyes."The main reason I asked most of you to come over wasn't only because of August, but because of my son and nephew," I said, and then moved forward."I have wanted to take a step away from everything and finally step back from being an active Alpha for a few years now. Unfortunately, Amelia was against it because she knew Kyle wasn't ready. That's why we sent him to the training camp," I said seriously."But now Amelia and I truly believe he is ready. We have also se
August's POV "Are you okay?" Tanya asked seriously.I wasn't okay in any way, but I wasn't going to tell her that.I was already nervous while driving, but now that we were here, I felt like I had made a wrong decision.I could see the twins laughing and mocking Tanya, and us fighting because of that. I could also see Felix making a lame comment about how I went for the daughter after the mother failed to make me stay."I am fine," I answered and then frowned when I looked at the entrance.Something was definitely wrong.Not only did we cross Ian's pack, but we were parked close to the pack house, yet no one was there to welcome us. Not even the warriors, when it was so obvious that Ian knew I had crossed his border."Shall we go and knock?" she asked."Yes," I answered and then got out and went to open the door for her."Thank you," she said softly when she stepped out."Don't mention it," I answered and then shut the door."Do I look okay?" she asked in a low tone.I looked at her
Felix's POV"Remind me again, why didn't we use the portal?" I asked Chase, who was driving the car."I told you already, Sammy. Lee and Jeannie will be running a little late," he answered and then gave me a warm smile."They just had to go and visit them; how annoying," I muttered."Family is never annoying," he said in a low tone, then focused on the road.He was right; family was everything, but I was still annoyed that Lee chose to go and visit his family with Jeannie right after Ian had told us about his plans for Kyle and Larson's succession.“Screw him,” I whispered softly."Hey, sweetheart, we have reached," he informed me simply.I looked at the pack house that was visible from afar after we had crossed the border, then sighed.I was really looking forward to seeing my baby girl more than anyone. Besides that, I missed Ian and Amelia a lot, but I wasn't going to openly admit it until they said it first."Remember what we talked about? No more showing disgust towards Larson. W
Kyle's POV "You sound grumpy," Lui said to me on the phone."Maybe it's because your sister hasn't picked up any of my calls. I miss her a lot, and I think you understand how I feel. Or maybe it's because Larson can't stop rubbing it in my face how happy he is," I answered seriously.Yesterday, when he went back with Tamara, I did want them to have a good time together.But when they came back laughing and walking hand in hand, I envied them. I wished Yuki could be here with me. I felt so lonely, and so did Lionel."I told you how she was busy helping Mom out with something. When she is free, I will tell her to call you," he answered."Well, we can't all feel the same way, can we?" I muttered."Dude, she does love you a lot; she is just very busy. Also, is that how a soon-to-be Alpha acts and reacts? Have more dignity and faith in everything and everyone," he said loudly."Says the guy who can't take his mate to that magical place we were," I answered in a mocking tone."How did you
Larson's POV "Do you like the smell?" Tamara asked with a smile.I inhaled deeply and then nodded."I like it," I answered simply.We were in a store looking at perfumes and trying to see which one suited me the most. Although she looked serious whenever she didn't like a scent, she seemed to have a lot of fun.My plan was to go out to eat, but when she saw the store, she asked me to pull over, and I couldn't say no."Although I love this a lot, let me check out that purple one at the far end of the shelf," she said and then went to grab it.I turned and looked at the jewelry display that was close to the entrance. Since we walked in, my eyes had been set on a beautiful blue diamond necklace and how amazing it would look if she wore it."She would love it," my wolf said, making me chuckle."I don't think so. Since we walked in, she didn't even spare a glance at the jewelry," I answered."Maybe she is being considerate of us," he said seriously."Please, we’ve been getting a monthly
Dusk's POV "Maybe a little rest will do," my father said with concern."I don't need rest right now, Father. I want to be stronger and better," I answered seriously."You will with time, but all I am asking you to do right now is rest," he said.I looked at him coldly and then nodded."Fine, I will rest," I answered and then went to sit on a beach that was under a huge tree.The training field was wide and a large area that most warriors used. But there was a certain side that was considered a resting place. Only a few warriors came there to rest, and we figured it would be a good place to use for my training.I hated being watched, and my father knew that. That's why I was relieved when he chose this place."You stay here; I'll be right back. Oh, and I'll ask your sister to bring you some cold water," he said and then walked away.Micah was my cousin, but because my father took her as a daughter, she became my sister.I paid no mind to that because I loved having her as a sister. I
Tamara's POV"Making a speech like that is a little too much," I said seriously in Larson's room.When he called my phone and asked me to come over, I didn't know what to expect, so I put on my best outfit and applied light makeup to my face.As soon as I reached his door, he opened it, grabbed my hand, pulled me in, and shut the door behind us.He was so excited that he couldn't wait for me to sit down when he told me how he and Kyle were soon going to be the acting Beta and Alpha.I was sincerely happy and proud; that's why I hugged him tightly and told him exactly how I was feeling.When I pulled back and sat down, he began sharing a few speeches that he would say on the actual day and asking for my opinion.I told him the truth, and he went on to make a few adjustments to those I liked."Maybe I shouldn't do any of them, seeing how I have never heard anyone ever doing it before," he said in a dejected tone."What? No, you should. Just because no one has ever done it, it doesn't me
August's POV "Am I not doing anything wrong, am I?" I asked Ried as I looked at the tray of breakfast that I had prepared."You are actually being awfully considerate," he answered, making me smile."That's the least I can do for being a jerk to our mate," I replied, then grabbed the tray and nervously walked to the bedroom with it.I wanted what happened between us to happen so badly; that's why I was happy when Ried took the initiative.Now that we had been making love and just being in each other's embrace for the past few days, I was thinking of myself as a selfish bastard who wouldn't let her rest, yet I couldn't stop myself.When Ried decided to be the first one to embrace her, I immediately accepted and took a step back because he was what I was supposed to be to her, and that was an amazing mate. He deserved to mark her before I could even do it.He was so respectful, even when I took over and decided to spend my time with her in bed.I really was lucky to have him as a part
