I awake the next morning, tired and aching, but content in the arms of Jackson. His embrace, much like Cayden’s makes me feel safe. It too, feels like home. Like I am meant to be there. I let out a content sigh. “Mmm, somebody sounds happy.” Jackson snuggled his face up against my neck. “You sleep well, love?” “Did we sleep?” I tease, knowing that we had certainly made the most of our time together last night. His touch had sent me to places I did not know I could reach. He was amazing. How he ever thought he could disappoint me truly astonished me. His touch simply brought my entire body alive… “I think there may have been a little sleep mixed in here and there” he smiles, as he rolls himself onto his belly, leaning on his elbows, looking down at me. “But I am hoping when you did fall asleep it was with a smile on that beautiful face of yours.” He gently kisses my cheek. I smile, my heart fluttering at how sweet he was with me. This was nothing like the Alpha
I walk through the packhouse with Evelyn, there is a swagger to my step that there had not been for quite some time, I know that. But damn, being with her had been everything a guy could dream of. She was truly perfection. Not just the intimate stuff either, it was the connection we seemed to have. The banter that seemed to flow back and forth seemed to come so easily and it felt so good. I felt more at ease now than I had done in a long time. And I know that is bad to say with a war raging on our doorstep. But, she did, she did something to me that made me feel like my life had been restarted. I had been given a second-chance to experience things and I did not want to waste it. “You look deep in thought there my handsome and ever so sexy, big-headed mate.” Evelyn grinned at me, still teasing me for earlier. I shake my head at her. “Will you ever let that go?” She place her finger to her lips as if in thought. “Hmm, let me think…” she moves her eye aro
The moment Jackson and Cayden seemed to agree to me coming out to see Aiden I was off. They seemed genuinely accepting of me needing to see him, and I appreciated that. Hearing Jackson mention the possibility of Aiden leaving once all this prophecy stuff is done scared me. I didnt expect to be fated to three men, three strong wolves at that, but they are mine, I feel drawn to them all, despite not marking them all yet, and the thought of losing any of them petrifies me. I need his reassurance he would not leave me.... I rushed down to the camp where I know Aiden and his pack are staying, only getting lost a couple of times on the way. I ask Orla for help and she laughed at me! I swear I have a wolf who seems to find it funny that I get lost… As I walk along the footpath, getting a little closer, I can see the tents in the fields, and can hear the movements of the people within camp, likely getting up for the day. My mind is wandering as somebody approaches me from behi
My heart was pounding within my chest as Evelyn begun her sudden little strip show for me as we moved through the house. This was not what I had expected when I suggested coming to the house for us to talk. I thought the house would offer us some privacy that my camp would not, and I still had the keys after yesterday. But this… well… she took me by surprise… and I was not going to complain… And as her fingers trailed across my chest, sending shivers through my body and she whispered. “Were you going to say no?” there was only ever going to be one answer to her question… To feel her half naked body pressed up against mine my whole body feels alive. My wolf, Rek is pacing within my mind, so desperate already to mark our mate. Knowing she is finally here and wanting us. My hand is running through her hair, our tongues entwined as I feel Evelyn moan against my mouth. “I can’t tell you how bad I want you…” she murmurs between our kisses, her hands runnin
I finished cooking some pancakes for breakfast, wrapping them in some foil to take down to the camp. The lazy bastard of a friend I had the pleasure to call my Alpha, sat drinking a cup of coffee chatting to me, he was clearly happy and content this morning having spent the night with Evelyn, only irritating me further. I knew I had been a little offhand with her and I felt guilty the moment Jackson pointed it out. So, the moment she asked if she could go and see Aiden and we sort breakfast I felt unable to refuse her. But I did not appreciate the lazy ass of my so called best friend passing off all the work to me. “Done.” I tell him. “You not cooking bacon?” he asked, earning him the darkest and moodiest glare I could muster. I swear I wanted to swing for him right now. He simply chuckled. “Come on then, oh cheerful one.” He placed his mug into the sink, knowing one of the omegas would come by and clear up for us. “Let us go and find our mates.”
I lean on the kitchen counter, a naked, trembling mess. How can we have gone from enjoying ourselves so much to this? “Aiden!” I yell this time, as he is almost at the front door, having lent on the wall to put on his sports shorts, and shoes, he was good to go. “Will you stop and fucking listen to me?” He turned to me, his emerald green eyes staring out at me through the falling blond curls dropping down over his face. I swear there were tears in his eyes. Had I upset him? How? I had never said I was ever going to reject him… well… maybe… but that was more a threat, and I am pretty sure that was more aimed at Jackson when he annoyed me. But not recently. And most definitely not after he marked me. Did he truly think I could reject him after we had just done what we had? And considering the reasons I was here he could not be further from the truth... My heart ached at the thought, and my wolf Orla was whimpering in my mind, she was unsettled at the prospect of one
Cayden and I reach the packhouse kitchen before Evelyn and Aiden, so I find some plates and begin to brew some fresh coffee while Cayden sets about heating the pancakes. “Like deja-vu” he jokes. “Too right.” I smile. “Did Ev’ speak with her brother last night?” Cayden asks. I nod. “Only briefly. Things are understandably pretty hectic there. I think if he was brutally honest he is glad she is safe being here.” Cayden frowns. “Change of tune then. Not that he could argue with fate. Mates are mates. Are they managing against Night Shade?” I slowly shake my head. “He wouldn’t give much information. But we know what they are capable of.” I place four mugs of coffee onto the table, hoping that Evelyn and Aiden had at least finished with one another for the day, and are close to arriving or else this breakfast was going to waste. Cayden slips onto one of the bar stools next to me after placing a plateful on pancakes and syrups onto the
Evelyn had made her way to my arms almost immediately when she came into the kitchen and I was unable to resist her once she was there in front of me, and pulled my arms around her. She wanted my touch, and I needed her there. My heart pounding in my chest now she was next to me. I sorted her some pancakes onto a plate and pulled her to my lap, she playfully wiggled where she sat, instantly bringing my cock to life underneath her. She was a terrible tease. ‘That is not a good idea Ev, I have thought of nothing but you since our night together’ I link her, and see a smile spread across her face. I glance up to Jackson and Aiden and can see them talking at the other side of the breakfast bar. Not that they would hear our mindlinks, they were private. That was why I had chosen to mindlink her. ‘Aww, did you miss me?’ she teased. ‘It has only been a night.’ I sigh. ‘A night too long.’ She giggled, ‘Ooohh, my man seems quite demanding. I think I like it
