Alpha James’s POVAnger simmered in my veins as I strode towards the greens where Emily and Nicholas had hidden themselves. The sight of the homicidal bitch stirred up the flames of fury burning in my gut - how dare she show her face after committing such an unforgivable act?Ignoring Emily entirely, I rounded on my beta with a curt bark. "Nicholas! You are needed at the ceremony grounds, what are you doing lurking in the shadows with this murderer?" I snarled. "You were meant to bring in the prisoner, not runaway with her."Nicholas didn't argue or attempt to make excuses. "Alright, Alpha," he said with a nod. He swiftly moved to re-secure the gag between Emily's lips, silencing whatever lies or false cliches she might have offered.I watched the exchange, mildly surprised that she didn't so much as whimper or plead her case. A spark of doubt wrestled its way into my thoughts, only for Davin's gruff tones to quickly extinguish it."She is far more than a simple Omega," my wolf rumble
Alpha James’s POVI ignored the chants of my pack members, their voices calling out for me to end Emily's life—to kill my mate for the alleged murder of my grandfather. Carol had even joined in their chorus of bloodlust, but I refused to be swayed. In no less than an hour, we had finished digging the grave, the ground parting to create a resting place.A group of warriors came forward, assisting me as I stood inside the hole, grabbing the casket and trying to lower it gently down into the ground I was standing upon. I managed to secure it, then moved towards the edge, where Nicholas extended a hand to me.Grabbing his offered support, I was pulled out of the grave, finding myself dusting the sand from my shirt as a warrior handed me my shovel.All eyes were upon me as I shoved the shovel into the fresh dirt, my voice low. "May my grandfather rest in perfect peace, and may we forever remember the sacrifices he made for this pack." With those words, I poured the first scoop of sand onto
Emily’s POVThe morning sun shone on my face as I slowly opened my eyes, immediately aware of the pair of strong arms wrapped protectively around me. I struggled to remove the hands, but the grip on my body was tight and secure. Turning around to face my imprisoner, I felt an ache pulsing through my body, the fragments of yesterday's ruthless fight.To my surprise, it was Michael who held me close, his short hair falling over his face in messy waves. My gaze was drawn to a small bruise that spoiled the smooth skin beneath his cheek, and without thinking, I reached out, gently brushing the wayward strands aside to better examine the dirty mark.The moment my fingers made contact with the bruise, a strange, tingling sensation ran through me, and I watched in awe as the blemish slowly faded and healed before my very eyes. Removing my hand, I met Michael's hazel eyes as they suddenly snapped open, his lips quirking into a teasing smirk."Done drooling over me?" he joked.I scoffed, rollin
Emily’s POVI struggled to break free, but his grip was too tight. He dragged me towards the bench at the other side of the dungeon and sat down, pulling me over his knees. I felt his hand around my waist, trapping me there. He pulled up my dress, revealing my panties. I felt his breath on my skin as he spanked my ass with his bare hand."You are a stubborn little mate, Braveheart," he said, spanking me harder. "You need punishment."I cried out, trying to break free, but he was too strong. I feel his hand on my skin, leaving a stinging sensation. I couldn’t help but feel aroused by his dominance. I felt his fingers tracing the outline of my panties, and I gasped as he slipped his fingers inside."Damn, you are already so wet," he growled, his fingers moving in and out of me. "You like it when I spank you, don't you? What was it you were saying about hating me?"I moaned, unable to deny it. He pulled my panties down, exposing me. He spanked my ass again, harder this time. I cried out,
Alpha James’s POVIt took much self-control to get out of the dungeon without fucking Emily right there. My dick was still throbbing hard, and I needed to have sex as soon as possible before I lost my mind.I was fond of spanking she-wolves when they acted up. Not that the one I just gave Emily was the same, hers was pure torture, and I knew it. My gaze landed on Carol, who was standing outside her room, still in her nightwear.Carol may be drop-dead gorgeous, but I hated her, although she was carrying my child. Too bad my cock couldn’t remember that. I had been avoiding her for years because she provided too much of a temptation, but today might just be her lucky day."Tiger, where have you been?" She inquired, walking over to me, and before she could utter another word, I squatted down and picked her up in my arms."You are coming with me," I ordered, heading towards the corridor.A smile spread across her lips, and she didn’t protest. "Oh my, I think you have been in your rut too l
Alpha Michael’s POVI was feeling angry and lost in thought as I contemplated a way to get Emily out of the dungeon. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder, jolting me out of my trance. I turned to find one of my friends. The two of us were seated in a VIP lounge area of a pulsing nightclub, and the air was filled with the boom of upbeat music."Are you alright, man?" My friend inquired, his face screwed in concern. "You haven't said a word since you joined us, and you haven't even touched your drink. That's unlike you."Another friend cut in, nodding in agreement. "He is right. What's eating you, bro? Don’t tell me you have fallen in love with that murderer."I frowned, my brow furrowing as I reached down, grabbing the beer bottle in front of me and popping the cap off with my teeth, trying my best to contain my frustration. Taking a long drag from the bottle, I smoothed my gaze at my friends. "I'm fine," I muttered. One of my friends let out a low whistle, and I turned my head
Alpha Michael’s POVI looked from side to side to make sure there was no one standing around the dark corridors of the packhouse as I knocked hard on Nicholas's door. The doors swung open, and Nicholas grabbed me by the collar and pulled me into the room before shutting the door behind us. Nicholas looked stressed out as he backed away from me, running his hand through his thick hair."Where is the evidence you were talking about?" I asked impatiently. Nicholas didn't utter a word as he walked across his spacious room straight to his nightstand and pulled open the bottom drawer. He fished out a brown box and placed it on the bed before removing the lid. I groaned, covering my nose in disgust as my eyes landed on a purple towel inside the box. It was smelly and covered in blood, and the murder weapon was wrapped in a white nylon next to it."The investigator found this in Emily's room," Nicholas explained. "She cleaned her hands with the towel, and her fingerprints are all over it. S
Alpha Michael’s POVAfter getting my brother settled in the clinic bed, I asked Carol to stay with him. "I have a bad feeling about this blackout," I told her, shining my flashlight in her face as she sat next to James, adjusting the duvet over his body."Just go," she replied curtly, waving me off.I shook my head and rushed back out to the corridor, where I spotted Nicholas, now wearing a gray tank top and black sweatpants, carrying an M4 assault rifle."Why do you have a gun?" I demanded, my voice low.A frown spread across his face. "I heard screams coming from the courtyard. I'm going to check it out," he stated, pointing at the flashlight on my body. "And stop shining that thing at me, I am right in front of you."He had a cap with a headlamp on, his expression serious and angry. "Well, what are you waiting for? Gather some warriors and go investigate!" I ordered. "After my brother, you are the second in command.""Come with me," Nicholas insisted, already heading deeper into the
