Dante's POV I awoke to Angel sleeping soundly with her naked body sprawled across my chest. I buried my nose in her hair, delighted that her scent had finally returned. I felt complete again; although, we still had matters to attend to. Before my poor little mate fell into her orgasm induced coma, she told me what David's plan was. I was glad that I figured it out before I sent every warrior of mine to search through each of the Rogue King's hideouts. Before we moved our focus to Jett, we needed to find David. He had hell to pay. I slipped out from underneath her and threw on the clothes sitting on the closet shelf, gray sweatpants and a shirt. Then, I quietly snuck out of the room and retrieved Angel's clothes from the dryer; they would be clean and warm for her when she woke up. Jalen got up early to get our rental car before he led our two packs home. We would meet him there in a few hours. I was ecstatic that once we returned today, I would be able
Dante’s POVAs soon as we arrived at the packhouse, the smell of blood and burnt flesh violated my nose. There were body bags placed in a line across the yard. I quickly counted twelve of them. Quinn let out a violent growl as he recognized the scents of our warriors. I had to calm him before he forgot Angel was on his back. Angel got off so I could shift. She quickly went behind one of the trees and grabbed me some clothes. "Thanks princess," I whispered. Rashaad sensed my presence and rushed outside. "Go find Jasmine and I'll come get you once I find out what's going on," I demanded. "No." I raised an eyebrow. "No?" Did she really want to be here for this? "Dante, as your mate and future Luna, I need to get used to...stuff like this. Plus, you know you'll be distracted worrying about me. Please allow me to stay." "Very well, then," I mumbled. I quickly turned my attention back to Rashaad. "Status report?" "There ar
Angel's POV The morning sun rose in the sky as we walked out of the hospital room and joined Rashaad in the waiting room. It was a long ass night; Jalen had coded twice from all the silver and wolfsbane in his system. Because the silver slowed his healing, he had also lost a lot of blood. Thankfully, the blood of an Alpha is universal, so Dante was able to donate some to him. We were all cranky and exhausted. I didn't notice at first that Noah was still here because he was silently standing in the corner of the room. I guessed that he was still covering his scent with Moonshine since rogues had a natural rotten smell that could easily be picked up. His blood-stained clothing from last night had been replaced by a black muscle shirt and denim jeans. His golden hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Our eyes met momentarily before I quickly looked away. Dante wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against his body. I could hear a low growl rippling up his throa
Angel’s POVSuddenly, I sensed a powerful aura enter the hospital. It wasn't as strong as an Alphas or Betas, but I'm sure whoever it was had just as much influence. The woman marched into view down the hallway with two scary looking men at her side. "Who's that?" I asked aloud. "Luna Kamala," Rashaad's jaw clenched in disgust. "If she's here, that means Luis and Jasmine must have stayed behind to run the pack," Dante mumbled. Noah scoffed. "Great...more werewolf royalty." Luna Kamala looked to be in her late 20s. She was slim with bronze skin, sharp, gray eyes, and a thick, dark-brown afro. She had a square face with a broad forehead, pointed cheekbones, and lush lips. She walked like a queen; straight and tall with her head held high. She was wearing a black, medium-length dress with a long, leopard-print faux fur coat and black knee-high boots. "Where is my husband?" she shouted at one of the nurses, her southern accent oozing through her words.
Angel’s POV"Fuck, I...I can't do this," I choked out. Noah suddenly appeared beside me. "Deep breaths, Angel," he cooed, rubbing my back. I nodded and closed my eyes. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Deep breath in, deep breath out, I chanted to myself. A quiet sob rose in my throat, causing his eyes to fix with worry as he pulled me closer. "Do you want me to get your mate?" he asked softly. "No. I don't want him to worry," I croaked, "he already has a lot going on, and a big part of it is my fault." "You both have that in common, you know. Blaming yourselves for situations you have no control over." I wiped my eyes as I looked up at him. "I can't help it. It feels like it's my fault and I just got him wrapped up in it." "Angel, even if he had a different mate, King Jett would still be trying to take over the werewolf world. If anything, you're an asset. He just needs to hurry up and mark you already." "Will...will it hurt you when h
Dante's POV I sped through the night, fighting the animalistic urge to mate with Angel right there in the car. The full moon was shining vibrantly in the sky above us. I looked over to see her stripping her dress off. "Princess, please keep your clothes on," I hissed. It was already hard enough keeping Quinn under control without her being completely naked in front of us. "Dante, I'm so hot," she moaned out. She tossed the dress in the backseat and started removing her bra. "I know you are, but can you at least wait until we get to the cabin?" She and her wolf are crying out to us. Take her! Quinn growled. I ignored him and tried to focus on driving. I didn't expect her to go into heat in the middle of the meeting, but I had a plan just in case. That's why Dad and Mom were there; he would inform me of their final decision. Brock and Sterling were two seconds from trying to mate with her, so I hoped that they weren't too upset that I nearly ripped their
Dante’s POV "Fuck," I hissed, "you're so tight princess." Angel grabbed my hair and brought my lips back down to hers. As our tongues explored each other's mouths, I began to move inside of her slow enough that she could get used to my size. "Faster," she growled. I grunted as I sped up, thrusting in and out of her. She buried her nails in my back, drawing blood, but somehow it only brought me closer to the edge. I was nowhere close to being done with her yet, but the way her drenched pussy was hugging me, I wouldn't last. I pulled out causing her to whimper. "Dante, what-" I sat up on the bed and lifted her up so that she could slide down my length. I could already feel her juices dripping down my balls, so I filled her again easily. She straddled my waist and gripped my shoulders for dear life, slowly starting to ride me. Soft moans escaped her lips. "That's it princess," I purred huskily. My encouraging words made her moan even louder as she rock
Angel's POV My body felt like it had been hit by a truck, but the events of last night made up for it. My life; my relationship with Dante changed irrevocably after we mated. I didn't feel any different, but I also expected to feel a surge of energy like Thor or a heroine junkie, so it was kind of a relief not to. With my eyes still closed, I reached out for him, but he wasn't there. I immediately sat upright in the bed. "Dante?" I squeaked. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw him standing in the corner of the room. He was wearing jeans and a green t-shirt that hugged his huge biceps. My relief was short-lived as I suddenly felt rage. Not mine; his. How was it possible? Was it the mate bond? I suddenly noticed the bags underneath his eyes. When was the last time he even slept? What had happened to ruin his blissful mood from last night? We were fully mated now, something he had wanted for the longest time. "What's wrong, Dante?" I asked in a quiet voice.
Two years later*Dante's POV "Daddy! Daddy!" Aiden squealed as I lifted him into the air. He had my hazel eyes, brown-curly hair, and the cutest button nose. An urgent knock on my office door interrupted our play. "Dante, there has been news of another attack," Akira announced. From the worry lines on his forehead, I could tell this was a big one. "Alpha Brock's entire pack is dead.""Great," I muttered. "Again, Daddy!" the little boy in my lap demanded, pouting his full lips. "Daddy will play with you in a little while. Why don't you go find Mommy and Norah?"I set him down, and watched his cute, little legs carried him out of the room. I waited patiently for a few minutes before mind-linking my queen. You got him? Yep. We're heading to the garden with your mom. So don't get too paranoid with me being gone, okay? There was playfulness in her tone. Okay, be safe. Come inside immediately if you see anything. I love you. I love you too, forever and always. I knew I had been a bit
Justin's POV My fallen brethren lay scattered on the ground, many of them headless or shredded into pieces. The stench of death was horrific, yet no worse than what I endured in the caves. King Jett was a merciless leader, killing anyone who dared question or defy him without hesitation. Although, it did mean plenty of food for us. He never anticipated losing this war. He was too cocky, too blind to see the errors in his plan. Finally, I came upon his body, which was badly burned. I searched for a spot that hadn't been completely barbecued. "You poor, stupid bastard," I muttered, crouching down and shoving the long, thick needle into the back of his thigh. Pulling up the plunger, I drew the dark liquid into the barrel of the syringe. It's finally mine! How dare Jett try to keep this power all for himself!Wrapping a rubber band around my arm, I inserted the needle into a vein. I pushed the plunger down and immediately felt power flowing through me. It was excruciatingly painful ye
Angel’s POVThe weight of betrayal pressed heavily on my heart as a single tear trailed down my cheek. Swiftly, the knife flew from my hand and sliced across David's jugular, and he fell to the ground. Thankfully, Mom landed softly in the grass. David's dark eyes bore into mine, their life quickly fading. "What did you do?" Mom sobbed loudly and uncontrollably as she wrapped her arms around her dead mate. "Mom, are you okay?" I rushed to her side, panic coursing through me. "Somebody call Doctor Johnson! She needs to go back to the hospital now!" Jalen ran a hand through his hair, frowning. "Uh, about that...he's dead. David killed him." "I know damn well with this large pack, we didn't just have one doctor, right?" I screamed, my frustration boiling over. I can't lose her too! I just can't. But Mom's grip tightened on my hand, drawing my attention back to her. "It's okay, honey.""W-What are you talking about?" I stammered. She...she wants to die?"I want to be with him."With
Angel’s POV The adrenaline kicked in as an ear-splitting growl rippled up my throat. I crouched down and launched myself at Jett, determined to free my mate. Jett released Dante and grabbed me just as I was about to maul his face off, holding my face back as I viciously snapped at him. His claws slashed across my cheek, drawing blood, before he flung me aside. I skidded across the forest floor, stopping just before I hit a tree. Through the pain, I gritted my teeth and pushed myself upright, already feeling the wound heal.Dante snarled. Are you okay? I nodded. Just because Jett used my mom's blood to turn himself into a giant demon wolf didn't mean he was invincible. His silver claws still had no effect on me, I just had to keep them away from Dante. Dante, I want you to stand back now. I promise I can take him. Do you trust me? My voice was steady as I met his gaze, willing him to let me do this. A glint of fear flashed in Dante's eyes, but he nodded and retreated to the edge of
Angel’s POV"Where the fuck did Jett go?" Jalen demanded as he jogged back over to us after removing everyone's cuffs. Peach and Mya went to aid the other warriors. The fighting had finally subsided as the remaining rogues were taken to the dungeon. Now, we only had two more bad guys to deal with. Dante, Jalen, Rashaad, Akira, and I followed David's scent trail. The Moonshine spray must've worn off him because I could smell it clearly. Whether I was going to capture or kill him, I hadn't decided yet, but I had time to figure it out. It was surreal being naked around all these men, yet I still felt confident. I guessed this was normal for werewolves anyway."Eww fuck, I just stepped on a dick with my bare foot!" Rashaad suddenly exclaimed. Akira grimaced. "You might want to burn your foot off, man."I glanced down and shuddered at the thought of what could have happened. I pictured it in flames, hoping Jett would soon face the same fate when I sent him back to hell where he belonged
Angel's POVWar broke out right before my eyes. I needed to free Dante and find out where Jett and David ran off to, but the rogues wouldn't stop attacking me. There was an overwhelming number of them everywhere. Our side was working hard to take them down but avoiding their claws made killing them take longer than usual. Dakari and Brock defended the pack members that couldn't shift. Many of them ran into the forest once the fighting started, but Rashaad, Akira, Peach, Mya, and Cassidy remained by the cage, refusing to leave Dante's side. Mya had somehow found Jett's dick knife and started stabbing any rogue that tried to get past to hurt the others. Noah, I can handle myself. Get all of the wolves who can't shift into the dungeon, so they won't get hurt, I ordered. Giving me one last conflicted glance, Noah yipped and took off into the forest. I continued clawing and tearing into flesh, ripping out throat after throat. Blood was being spilled everywhere from both sides, but to my
Dante’s POVAfter Noah bandaged my abdomen, he was in charge of watching us along with another rogue. Nobody had said a word since we were locked in the cell. We all just waited for our inevitable doom that was fast approaching. Hours seemed to past before David came down. "It's time for the ceremony," he announced coldly. Nobody moved a muscle as he entered the cell. He gave everyone another dose of wolfsbane, besides me. Katherine's heart rate had slowed as soon as we came down here, so they finally had Doc take her to the hospital. Who knew if she would survive or not. If she wasn't Angel's mom, I would've wished death on her just so he could suffer. I glared up at him. "How the fuck could you let him do this to your daughter?" I growled, feeling the muscle in my jaw jumping up and down. "It's not personal, punk. I just need my mate back. I would say you'd never understand, but you will after tonight," he snickered. Not persona
Dante's POV "Alpha, are you okay?" Peach asked softly. She was staring at the dark liquid pooling from my wound. "No, he's not okay. We're all going to die!" "Shut up, Rashaad," Akira hissed. I ignored their bickering and even my own searing pain, focusing on the only thing I cared about. My mate and pups were in danger, and there was nothing I could do about it. We were all chained up to the floor in a black van heading back to North Carolina. Jett, David, and Angel rode in a separate van that was leading the way. He sent the rest of his army on foot. I knew Jett wouldn't try to touch her until the mating ceremony, but just knowing that he was alone with her drove me fucking crazy. There was no way I was letting her go through with this. I'd rather die than let her be raped and mated with the devil himself. The sound of Katherine's moans snapped me out of my thoughts. "Angel," she whimpered. "
Angel’s POVA figure came of the shadows, red eyes piercing through the darkness. He was tall with espresso brown skin and long, black dreads. His nude body was rippled with unnatural muscles, even his ankles were bulging with them. He held a silver blade to Dante's throat while maintaining a tight hold around his neck. Kira lurched forward in my mind, ready to tear them apart, but I pushed her back. Growls erupted all around me, everyone's instincts kicking in from the sight of their Alpha in distress. "Don't attack," I said sternly. They only wanted me, so they had nothing to lose killing Dante. More wolves appeared. There was one I recognized, Justin. His hand was gripping Akira's neck while holding a knife at his side. He forced Akira down onto his knees, but he only looked down at the ground. There was not a single trace of fear in his calm and collected features. Noah growled at his brother. He sneered in response. "I'm just finishing the job that you c
