I woke a few hours later to see the sun streaming through the windows brightly and a glance at the clock showed that it was well into the afternoon. I was surprised to have slept so long and a little annoyed that no one thought to wake me, I was Alpha and shouldn’t be shirking my responsibilities because I needed a nap to recoup after amazing sex. I stretched in bed and felt a good ache in my hips and legs, groaning with how good it felt to stretch. I sat up and looked to see Blaze still sound asleep beside me on the bed, on his stomach with his one hand hanging off the bed. I chuckled and leaned down, placing a small kiss on his shoulder before climbing out of bed and heading to the closet in search of clothes.
Once dressed in worn jeans and an equally worn shirt, the kind that was soft to the touch from the number of times it’s been worn and washed, I left the closet. I closed the curtains so
I opened my eyes and looked around in confusion, turning in a small slow circle to take in the sight around me. This was no forest I was familiar with. It was covered in snow, thick foliage, large close-together trees and on a mountain range I had no geographical place for. Without a doubt, I was dreaming, much like I did with the Isle of Dragons. Though what could call me here I had no idea. The wind was fierce and it was a complete white-out, blowing snow and the wind howling through the trees. I was in my sleep shirt yet I was not cold. That only furthered the dreaming hypothesis. Even being a wolf and a dragon I’d be freezing in this weather while in panties and a t-shirt. I wrapped my arms around my middle, a chill seeping into my bones the longer I stood in the knee-deep snow. Not seeing any other option, I moved forward, pushing my way thro
“Kara, you have to move your hands so I can see.” Cadmus soothed as he tried to pull my hands away. I jerked away from his touch and launched myself off the bed, running into the bathroom and slamming the door shut behind me. I could hear him sigh and lean against the closed door. “Kara, let me help you.” He urged softly. I stood in front of the mirror, gripping the counter so hard my hands ached. My hair was in the way and I didn’t have a clear view of my neck. I was too afraid to reach up and move my hair. And I needed to collect myself and my fractured and chaotic emotions before I went back out to him, afraid he’d see it on me and I couldn’t have that. I could not let him know, let any of them know, that despite my pain and fear, my wolf was drawn to him. Drawn to the power he had, the power that poured from him effortlessly. I was ashamed and I needed to
The atmosphere in the room was utterly tense and uncomfortable. Staying in here was making me anxious and giving me a headache. I stood up and immediately all eyes were on me once again. I ignored their stares and went into my closet, finding a pair of sweats and pulling them on. I slipped my feet into shoes and pulled on a sweater before making my way back into the room.“Kara, what are you doing?” Cadmus asked as he stood up and took a step towards me. I held up my hand and took a step back, the action causing him to freeze and watch me in concern.“I can’t think with all of you around right now. Your emotions are overwhelming and it's making it impossible for me to sort through everything. My dragon keeps trying to push to the surface, fueled by your possessiveness and rage and my wolf...she's too quiet. I need time on my own to sort through the combined emotions. Please understand, I need that time alone.” I looked at each of them, seeing the confusion, the con
The next few days I threw myself into work and training, I was up early, ate breakfast quickly and off to morning training before I’d break for lunch, clean myself up and then barricade myself in my office for the rest of the day until supper. Once supper was over I couldn’t avoid them anymore and they’d bombard me in the living room and ask how I was doing and why I was avoiding them. I felt like an utter asshole but I didn’t have a clear head yet and I didn’t know what to do. I know I was being stupid and childish but even still I couldn’t seem to stop myself. I didn’t want to push them away but I was on edge and my nerves were frayed and both my dragon and my wolf were riding me hard with the absence of Kane and Magnus. They needed their mates back with them and no matter the amount of assurance both men gave me, I had a gnawing sense of dread that was chewing up my insides and no matter what I c
“Let me get this straight. You want to leave your pack and travel to Kane’s, even though there is a very real threat after you?” Cadmus asked for what was probably the thousandth time since I came into the office. I just looked at him with a very unimpressed face and crossed my arms over my chest. “I’m not asking for permission, Cadmus. I was letting you know what’s going on and that I will be going regardless and setting things up here so everything is taken care of in my absence. I’m also not going to be travelling alone. I will take Brodryn with me and either one of my scouts or Echo.” I explained as I walked towards him and climbed into his lap, straddling him in the office chair and wrapping my arms around his neck. He looked momentarily surprised before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him. “I don’t like the thought of you leaving th
I walked down the stairs with the bag slung over my shoulder and my shoes and a leather jacket in my hands. The plan was for us to fly to a rendezvous point, which was a decently rated motel, settle in for the night and once Echo got to us we’d leave in the truck in the morning. With us flying we’d most likely get to the motel before Echo even though he left earlier than us. I made my way to the front yard where Gram, Gigi, Brodryn and Laris were waiting, smiling as I saw Blaze, Cadmus and Alaric join the group as well. I gave Gram and Gigi a hug, assuring them I would be safe and that everything was ok. I went over a few things with Laris and Alaric, this time they assured me that everything would be fine and the pack would be safe. I then turned to Blaze and smiled as he pulled me to him and gave me a guilty and heated kiss, telling me to stay safe. As soon as I promised I was pulled into Cadmus’s arms and given a slow lingering kiss that left me sighing for more. I assured him I w
I watched from inside the shower as Brodryn stripped out of his clothes and stalked across the floor towards me, stepping into the shower and closing the curtain behind him, immediately the temperature rising from the heat he naturally generated. I stayed under the water and made sure I was fully wet before I switched positions with him, both of us careful not to touch one another just yet, the mutual restriction just adding to the building tension. While he got himself wet I made sure to soap every inch of my body, taking my time and shivering from the low rumble emitting from Brodryns chest as he watched me.Once more we switched positions as I rinsed the soap from my body and he scrubbed his skin. I took my time, making sure my hands were slow and methodical as they ran all over my body, watching him with eyes glowing with my dragon and licking my lips as I watched him wrap his hand around his hard length and stoke himself a groan leaving his lips as my hand teased and played with
I woke in the morning to the feel of light kisses on my neck and warm arms pulling me close to a heated chest. I hummed in contentment as I turned in his arms, burrowing my face into his chest and kissing the skin over his heart. “Good morning, beautiful.” Brodryn murmured as he kissed me, his voice deeper and laced with sleep. I chuckled and kissed him back softly before stretching and groaning from how good it felt. “What time are we heading out?” I ask as I look over to Echo’s bed and don’t see him but the shower is running so he’s still in the room. “Once we’re all ready and have everything together we’ll head out. You need to eat since flying took a lot out of you last night. So while you shower I will go and get us some food while Echo stays in here with you.” He explained as he stood up and started to pull on his clothes, sitting on the bed as he put his shoes on and smiled at me as I pulled his hair back and braided it down his back, a happy rumble coming from his chest.
I woke in the morning feeling warm and secure, two sets of arms wrapped snugly around me with Kane’s face in my neck and Magnus’s in my hair. That couldn’t be comfortable. I sighed in contentment and basked in the feel of being wrapped up in my mates before slowly and carefully sneaking out of the bed. I made my way into the bathroom and did my business before washing my hands and glancing in the mirror. The moment I did a gasp left my lips as I noticed something different about the marks on my neck. The claiming bit had been red and was healing as a cut would, but now it was a mark on my skin, almost like a tattoo. It was dark and flat, the skin smooth and unmarred and it was in the shape of teeth marks. Like a brand of his canines on my skin. Kane’s mark was also healed and like a tattoo. The difference was that it looked like the moon with his canines around it. It reminded me ok Skoll and Hati, the wolves that would devour the moon and sun in Ragnarok. Hati would devour the moo
I walked into the suite and found my men lounging on the couch in a very relaxed and domesticated manner. Kane was just in sweats and he sat in the corner of the sectional going over a few papers from a folder, a small frown of concentration on his face. Magnus was just in his soft black lounge pants and was on the recliner part of the sectional with a book in his hand and a cup of tea beside him on the coffee table. I smiled fondly before I made my way into the bedroom to change into something more comfortable. I stripped out of the pants and set them aside before finding a pair of lavender athletic short shorts and slipped them on, deciding to keep my crop long sleeved shirt on and instead just took off my bra, sighing in relief as the contraption was gone. Confining uncomfortable piece of fabric torture but necessary all the same. I put my hair up into a messy bun as I made my way back into the main room and grabbed a cold glass of water before going to the couch and laying down s
I sat with Mira in the silence of my office until a young girl who worked in the kitchen knocked on the door and came in with a cart that had tea and snacks for us. I thanked her as she set up everything on the coffee table before leaving the room. I set two cups infront of us and poured some tea, leaving the sugar and cream withing easy reach of Mira to make her as she liked. I sipped my tea that I had made a little sweeter than normal and moved the food tray closer to her.“There’s no judgement here Mira. You’re not in trouble and nothing will happen to you, I give you my word as both Luna of this pack and Alpha of my own. I can keep you safe and away from him.”I spoke softly,watching the surprise in her eyes before if was replaced with fear and shame, emotions she should never have to feel when it came to her mate.“I don’t know why I let it get this so bad. I was strong and confident and I thought I could recognize this behaviour. I’m a nurse for crying out loud, we’re trained to
I walked into the bedroom and stripped out of my clothes, smiling to myself as I could hear them getting closer. I went into the shower and turned the water on hot, stepping in and letting it soothe my skin. I felt it the moment they entered the bathroom, the atmosphere shifting to something carnal and heavy. I turned to face them as I stayed under one of the shower heads in this huge walk-in glass shower, running my hands through my hair as I watched them stalk towards me naked and ready. Gods was that ever a marvellous view. They both stepped into the shower and closed the glass door behind them, trapping us in the steam. I bit my lip and shivered as they stood under the same showerhead and helped each other get their hair and bodies wet. I ached and throbbed all over just from watching and I knew they could smell my arousal heavy in the air. They turned to face me at the same time and moved till Magnus was behind me and Kane was in front of me. I brought my hands up and ran th
I stirred in the morning and sighed as I felt the warm body pressed to my back and smiled as I was enveloped in the combined scents of Kane and Magnus. Feeling only one body in bed with me had me opening my eyes and seeing Kane’s side of the bed empty and a small note on his pillow. I reached over and looked at his neat cursive and felt a spark of silly jealousy, my chicken scratch would never be this nice. : Babe, I had some things that required my attention since I’ve been gone for a while. I will make sure that the pack knows of your multiple mates so that you are free to act with Magnus and Brodryn as you wish to. I will also make sure no one says anything about it. Relax with Magnus for the remainder of the morning and I will come around lunch or whenever it is I manage to finish up. Love A : I was so used to calling him Kane that it surprised me to see him refer to himself as Alistair. Maybe I should actually ask him what he preferred me to call him. I stretched out and set the
I looked around the space in awe, it was open concept and beautifully set up. There was a nice clean entranceway that opened up into a spacious living room with cream coloured couches, a navy blue coloured recliner chair, pale grey walls with one navy blue accent wall that was decorated with a collage, a large tv over an electric fireplace, and a huge window that overlooked the side of the house and it was a nice view. The kitchen was just to the side of the living room and it was amazing. The large stove, butcher block countertops, the stainless steel appliances and all the cabinetry were a nice navy blue colour with brass handles. It was to die for. I was so jealous of his kitchen and I knew Gram would have been for sure as well. I walked through the space and came to a home office that was decorated with shades of grey and cream and some navy accents like the curtains and a few comfy chairs on the other side of the black wood desk. It was a nice space but definitely masculine. I
I woke in the morning to the feel of light kisses on my neck and warm arms pulling me close to a heated chest. I hummed in contentment as I turned in his arms, burrowing my face into his chest and kissing the skin over his heart. “Good morning, beautiful.” Brodryn murmured as he kissed me, his voice deeper and laced with sleep. I chuckled and kissed him back softly before stretching and groaning from how good it felt. “What time are we heading out?” I ask as I look over to Echo’s bed and don’t see him but the shower is running so he’s still in the room. “Once we’re all ready and have everything together we’ll head out. You need to eat since flying took a lot out of you last night.
