Alpha JaxonI shivered under Scarlett's twinkling emerald eyes as they roamed over my body. Her pupils dilated as she drunk in my features. My cock stirred, images of her screaming my name invading my mind. Thoughts about what I was supposed to do vanished as blood rushed and started filling my manhood.With one flutter of her eyelashes, the hunger was gone and in return her eyes turned darker and squinted. It was as if I had imagined the desire.'Uh oh! ' Astra giggled. She must have seen Scar's sudden expression change. A low growl sounded from my mate as she turned to look at Astra, then at me. Her eyes once again roamed over my naked body and I didn't have to be a genius to know she didn't like me nude in front of Astra.'Cover up. ' She gritted her teeth, turning away from me with the ring still between her fingers. She sounded so good with jealousy and possessiveness dripping like venom in her low voice. My half hard dick jumped completely to life, jutting at her. My wolf and I
Scarlett'Oh my goddess! ' I shuddered at the instantaneous intrusion, crying out as Jaxon stretched me completely. My thighs shook, my palms on the rug almost giving out as pleasure shot up my spine. He didn't give me time to get used to him, he pulled out and slammed in yet again, the force making my boobs bounce.'I can't be gentle. ' He all but forced the words out, the rattle of his teeth audible. He tightened his hold on my waist, breathing out loud as he pounded into me. He was going all the way, sheathing himself inside in speedy strokes. The sound of skin slapping against skin blended with my moans and his groans. Stars danced behind my closed eyelids the faster he went, staking his claim inside of me.His power as the alpha was undeniable as I bent down for him.' Fuck Scar, I won't last. 'His groan sent heat all over me, his words consuming me and raising myself esteem. I clenched my walls around his thick cock in return, earning a low howl from the alpha. He pulled me by m
Alpha Jaxon'How the fuck do you expect me to keep this from her father? ' I threw my hands up, a sudden tense and almost palpable silence taking over. None of the men dared looked at me as my mind raced. I tried keeping my emotions in check, one wrong move and Scar would come running if she sensed any iota of feverish disquietude through the bond.It had been weeks after our official bonding. We still didn't have answers about why my people had uncontrollably shifted that night. An investigation had since been launched but no plausible answers had been collected. A sudden surge of power that night had been experienced by every werewolf. The warriors had insisted that they felt more powerful after that.Astra and Scar had been almost inseparable, working spells together and bonding. Their relationship had evolved clearly to one between a mother and a child. When Scar wasn't busy visiting our pack members or carrying out her duties with Thiery by her side, she would be practicing spell
Scarlett ‘I’m telling you Jaxon is hiding something. Hell, I feel like everyone is avoiding me.’ I puffed out air loudly, shaking my head at Astra's stubbornness. We had been going back and forth between Jaxon keeping a secret and Astra telling me that I was overthinking. 'And I am telling you that you're being paranoid for utterly nothing. ' I almost pulled my hair off my throbbing head. I couldn't shake the odd feeling that something serious was going on in the pack. Jaxon rarely stayed home and when he did, he would spent his time at the home office. He insisted he had a lot of papers to go through and sign. I bought his story until a whole week went by and the brushing off from him only increased. 'Astra, he is my mate and yet he rarely even glances my way. His walls are up, I can't hear his thoughts, I can't feel his emotions. He's...' The words jammed in my throat, a lump blocking my voice. 'I...I just don't know what to do. ' I whispered, sitting down on a wooden bench. We w
Alpha Jaxon'Who is she? ' Scarlett stood up, chest puffed out, eyes turning into two angry black points.'Who? ' I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest. I knew I was acting like a jerk but I didn't know how to keep on keeping secrets from her.'Who-the-fuck-is-she? ' She gritted her teeth, her upper lip curling upward. I could feel it, her rage, steam boiling up with every forced breath she took in.'Scarlett what are you talking about? ' I extended my arm to touch her but she side stepped, pinning a warning glare to me. Goddess she looked so sexy when her face hardened, when she was acting all like the Luna she was.'Of course...’ She mocked. ‘Now I get it. ' Her voice lowered, her dark eyes beginning to change colour. Her shoulders rose so fast, I could hear her heart racing from where I stood. My wolf could feel the angry barks of her wolf, she wanted to sink her fangs into someone.'I don't understand Scarlett, what's wrong with you? Who are you talking about? ' I th
Scarlett'What do you mean there wasn't any blood? ' The question sounded absurd even as I uttered it. How could someone bear claw marks, have her heart pulled out and fail to bleed?'Not even the normal metallic scent Scarlett, it was the most mystifying thing I have ever seen. ' I got up, beckoning him to follow me. My wolf and I were restless because of the foreign scent on him. It didn't matter whether the girl was dead, the only scent he was supposed to have was mine alone.'Come on, you need to at least take a shower if not a bath. ' He groaned but got up nonetheless, dragging his feet towards the bathroom.'There will be a meeting tomorrow, maybe the elders might have a clue about the absence of blood. ' He took off his clothes, his eyes directed at me.I cleared my throat when the last piece of clothing was thrown into the laundry basket. 'True, I have a feeling it has something to do with magic. ''Astra is the only warlock we know of. ' He answered, getting into the unsuited
Alpha JaxonWe lay in bed in silence after our sexual escapades in the bathroom. Now that we were partially sated, we were back to reality and the issue at hand, the rogues. I hadn't talked to the rest of the elders about the lack of blood, or the unusual ability of the captured rogues to withstand my beastly methods of torture. I was known for my brutality against the crazed wolves, none dared set feet on my lands, and yet these ones did.'There is a protection spell all over the pack borders and in this pack...' Scarlett trailed off, drawing patterns on my bare chest.'How come it didn't work? ' Her thick brows furrowed.'I hate saying this but honestly, I have no idea. ' I was the one person my people were looking up to and yet I couldn't even guarantee safety. I could feel the hefty load turning me into a ponderous g'Hey, look at me. ' She sat up, placing her palms on either side of my face. She gently rubbed the light stubble, her eyes looking past my face, to the headboard.'Yo
Scarlett'No. ' I shook my head, blinking rapidly.'Why would they be after me? ' I attempted to get off the counter, to pace and let the tightness in my chest loose, but the alpha occluded my movement.'Scarlett...I...' He hung his head, letting a loud sigh after his slight stammer.'I have made a lot of enemies...' His voice was rough and low, it was as if he was muttering. His usual bravery faltered, while his eyes seemed distant.'Ssshh. ' I placed my index finger on his parted lips, stopping him mid-sentence.'I will not allow you to blame yourself Jax. Yes it's true your stories of mercilessly torturing rogues before killing them spread all over. Hell, I was scared of you even before I met you. What the outsiders don't know is that you were doing it because of what happened to your mother. ' He breathed out loudly, moving his hands on either side of my body on the counter.'Plus I still think that they are in search of something else, you are just overthinking. ' He lifted his h
Third POVTwo Years LaterDraven and Melody heaved consecutive sighs of relief after their twins finally fell asleep. They had tried everything for hours to get Astra Mae Fox and her brother Knox to sleep, including massage, swaying, and singing lullabies. Only when they contacted Scarlett did they get a complete guide, which worked within minutes. Now they had to tiptoe around and make little to no noise, so the twins couldn't wake up."Stubborn babies." Draven whined in a low voice, sleeping on his back on their bed, eyes tightly closed."I almost cried." Melody confessed, making Draven chuckle lightly, before he got a slap on his arm."Lower your voice. If you wake them up, I swear I will run out of this house and leave you alone with them." Melody sternly stated in a low voice, glaring at Draven as she lied beside him."I didn't think putting a baby to sleep would be so haard." Draven exaggerated the word 'hard' making Melody roll her eyes even though she knew so well what he was
Melody Reese"Mmh." Draven swallowed my low moan in the kiss, deepening it and making my heart beat fiercely. His lips were salty sweet, moving against my cold ones, warming them as the intensity increased. It felt like days since we had a true slow kiss without any worry of lurking enemies or evil plans being plotted against us. His fingers combed through my hair, his touch completely pulling me into a pool of desire."Goddess, you taste so good." He rasped against my lips when he pulled away, his eyes roaming over my face."And you look so inviting right now." He added in an evident rasp, using his other hand to swipe a thumb gently over my lower lip. I was at a loss for words, just drinking in his riveting features and wanting more of him."I would have loved to fuck you right here right now, but..." He trailed off."But?" I raised an eyebrow, almost challengingly, as I shifted on the hospital bed."We are in the infirmary, in one of the check-up rooms." He clarified, looking aroun
Draven FoxI couldn't count how many handshakes and condolences I received from my pack members after the ceremony. My mother had whisked Melody away the moment it was all over, leaving me to interact on their behalf, citing that stress wasn't good for Melody. There was still a part of me that didn't want to accept that nana was gone and that it could have been prevented. Had I listened to Melody from the start about not trusting Jones with Mercy, Astra would still be alive."You cannot blame yourself when fate happens." My father's voice invaded my mind, snapping me back to reality. It looked like I had greeted the last few pack members absentmindedly."I am not blaming myself." I replied in a harsh tone, pocketing my hands in my slacks."I know you, son; I can see it written on your face." He insisted.I sighed, "Fine. But can you judge me, though? I was supposed to know something wasn't right with Jones the moment he started conniving against us." I pulled out my hand from my pocke
Melody ReeseDespite every attempt to keep Draven off my mind, the state of his mom, and Jones all together, I still found myself pacing around in the sitting room. My eyes kept darting toward the front door, praying for my mate to push it open. As if the goddess had decided to respond to my prayers instantly, the door knob moved. I halted, folding my hands together as if saying thank you, and looked as the oaken door was pushed open."Draven!" I squealed, running toward him when he finally stepped in, a very large, telling smile gracing his handsome face. He spread his arms, but before I threw myself on him, a scent, even though weaker than his usual masculine one, hit my nostrils. I put on breaks, standing just a few steps from him as my eyes roamed around his body, inspecting him for any injuries."Melody?" His brows shot up, his shoulders rising up in question."Is he..." I trailed off after the realization that it wasn't his blood dawned on me. A relief washed over me as I exhale
Draven FoxAfter cutting the mind link with an overly excited Melody after hearing the news of where Jones was, we spread out. We planned to approach Mercy's home from different directions so that if Jones escaped, we would have extremely high chances of catching him. It was a solid plan, one that we kept just between the three of us, Holden, Mason, and me. I wasn't about to tell my warriors and risk Jones getting wind of it. At that moment, he was an enemy—a dangerous, traitorous one that needed to be tamed."How come Mercy's parents just let him stay there?" Mason asked via the mind link, positioned a few meters north of the two-story house."They are not there. They left the pack the moment they heard what their daughter had done," I answered, crouching low behind tall grass a few steps after the tree line on the back of the house. The lights were off, and except for sounds made by small animals, it was extremely silent. That meant that we had to be extra stealthy; otherwise, Jones
Melody ReeseI threw the covers off and sat up, putting my hands above my head. Time seemed to have stagnated; the howls subsided, and uncomfortable silence reigned. I didn't know how long I had slept, but there was still daylight streaming through the window. My heart was still heavy, and I could feel the puffiness around my eyes without even touching or looking. It was still surreal how so much chaos could take place in just one day.Throwing my legs over the edge of the bed, palms on the mattress, and forearm facing forward, I sat there for a few seconds, finding some bearing. The ache Draven had caused between my legs was still there. My clit was still throbbing, begging to be relieved, but I attempted to ignore that and let my feet finally touch the area rug on the floor."When will this be over?" I talked out loud, heaving a prolonged low sigh as I thought about going downstairs to the kitchen. I was craving cocoa since I hadn't taken it earlier. I couldn't feel Draven's emotion
Draven Fox"Any report?" I asked Holden when I joined him in the search minutes later. My heart constricted at the thought of leaving Melody alone, but it had to be done that way."None; it's like he disappeared into thin air." There must be somewhere he was hiding and something he was using to hide his scent. Without a scent, it was almost impossible to track and locate him."He knows this pack like the back of his hand. He must have a hideout; we just have to figure out where." Holden added when I remained silent. I was trying to come up with a way to smoke him out, but it was proving hard because my mind was a mess with nana's passing and Melody's state."He told me he did it for power." I suddenly said, trying to let my mind cool down."I know; he told me the same. You said I was your favorite, and that's why you chose me to be your beta when you demoted Nova." The tone of his voice didn't change. It remained even, barely depicting an emotion."You don't seem affected." I pressed.
Melody Reese"I can help you catch him." I blurted it out once we got inside the house, after Draven pulled me in while looking around."Absolutely not!" He replied instantly, looking at me as if I had become mad."He wants me; why don't you let him think he can get me?" I insisted, crossing my fingers that he would agree."You are nuts if you think I am letting you out of this compound. Nothing will make me break that spell unless it is Jone's headless body." He stated, throwing me over his shoulder, then began walking towards the stairs."What was that for?" I complained when he slapped my ass, sending shivers down my spine, but I wasn't about to admit that I loved it."For daring to risk your life and our babies." He nonchalantly answered before adding another one that stung but soon was replaced by sparks of pleasure when he began rubbing the spot."But it will work, I know." I argued, biting my lower lip, when he spanked me two times without any pause in between. They were fast a
Draven FoxI stood in nana's backyard, looking at her lifeless body, as my mother cradled her head in her lap. She wasn't crying; no, she was staring at space, rocking back and forth as if her mind was slowly processing everything. Then she began mumbling the healing spell; it was almost as if she was slowly losing her mind without knowing it."Let go, mom." I said in a broken voice, my Adam's apple forcefully bobbing up and down over the lump that had formed."No, no, no." She whispered, then threw her head backwards and, in human form, let out an extremely loud howl that carried with it the pain of losing someone so special to her. Almost after that, dad howled behind me, and the elders that he seemed to have gathered joined him too, and they howled to the moon goddess together.As I listened to them and looked at my nana, it almost felt like I was in a frozen state. My mind was still processing what my eyes were seeing and my ears were hearing. Then, with a slight push inside of me
