BLAIR'S POV.I let go of her to see what she would do. Without replying to me , she swallowed hard and stared up at the ceiling. She then shuddered and tried to mask a whimper with a deep breath but it broke up and she choked in the middle. She again crossed her arms over her belly and then slowly lifted up her tank top and over her head.Now she was in a bra and the denim jeans. She put the shirt on the bed then stared at the ceiling again."Yes","Stand up", l ordered."And undress slowly for me",l went on then leaned back . Still with no response ,l watched her get off the bed and then slowly took off her denim jeans. She had no idea how alluring it was watching her. She wasn't doing it slowly to tease me but she was teasing me all the same. She let them drop to the floor and stepped out of them.Now she was in a white Lacy bra and V cut Lacy white panties. She stood there with her hands crossed over her chest while glaring at me. "The rest", l said and rested. At my words , she ju
BLAIR'S POVShe was holding up her breath but she was still looking at me. Her nipples were rock hard. I trailed my finger further down her pelvis and then stopped over her clit. I exerted a little pressure on it and watched as her eyes changed and her pupils grew larger. She was totally inexperienced and enthralled , so easy to seduce.I could feel the air begin to change. She wanted to fight , she was resisting. It wasn't working though, l had her under my mercy and she had to submit to me. I drew light clockwise tinny circles with my index finger on her clit and then flicked my wrist. I plunged two fingers in her pussy hard and fast without her knowing.Shit she was totally soaked.RINAH'S POV .When his fingers drove into me , l saw light in my mind. I was dizzy with arousal. "What the fucking hell was wrong with me?",This was the enemy, my mate who doesn’t want me but my body was acting otherwise . This was the same man who was holding me captive , a man who was playing games wi
RINAH'S POVHe leaned up and started to untie my wrists. My arms were numb. He pulled me against him and I started to shiver. The blankets we're all on the floor. He didn't take the shivering as a cue to get them. "Blanket", l rasped my voice barely a croak. "No", he answered in a deep husky voice."You can use my body to keep you warm",He continued. l was shivering and my teeth started to actually chatter. I think I was in shock and l didn't make a move to him. Noticing it , he pulled me tighter to his body. He pulled me tighter than necessary to his body and wrapped up his arms around me.After a few minutes l actually sunk in to his warmth. I had no choice. I had to close my eyes and get away from this intense emotions l was getting. Through out the whole moment , he rubbed up and down my rear end. I still had welts there and it felt bruised and hurt so much to have them touched. I whimpered when I felt him squeeze my ass."Go to sleep baby , l will keep you warm",he whispered and
RINAH'S POVWith Amara gone to bring me coffee , l collected the tray of cookies and walked out of the room. I walked slowly while looking everywhere in the house. Even though l was allowed to walk around the house , l still couldn't escape. Bodyguards were all around in the house and had their eyes on me. Silently l made my way downstairs straight to the kitchen.No omegas were in the room and Amara was on a stool on the kitchen island doing something on her phone with a smile on her face. "Hi", l said hesistantly. "Come over here", She waved me over and showed me a bunch of old men in speedo bathing suits with some silly caption below it. I didn't even read the caption , l just foced a smile on my face."They are really funny", She cackled all the way to the single serve coffee maker. "I forgot to bring it for you",she went on as she brewed a cup for me. "It's fine", l retorted as l watched her put two spoons of sugar. Yes the weaning had started because two spoons of sugar were not
CARLA?!What the fuck is this bitch doing here?She slid passed me on the door way with a walk that screamed triumph.Her hips swayed with her walk as she went. She glanced over her shoulder to get one last look at the wide eyed female that seemed almost surprised by what she had just witnessed. She rolled her eyes, her lips still holding onto the smile as she disappeared down the long halls.Like a waxed statue, I stood there, almost shocked by what I had just saw. Wait. Why am I surprised? My stomach tightened. Why did I almost feel a wave of disappointment?He fucked me through out the night and he here was during the day fucking another female.He was fucking her? I should have known. I released a light snarl before I took control of my actions.That is not why you are here Rinah. I took a calm breath before I peeked into the slightly cracked door. Standing by his overlarge window, he stared down at the empty fields. His face was plain. His eyes were unfocused as if in thought. Th
"Where are you taking me?", I asked. "To the pool", She said excitedly as she led me to the side patio.Laughter. Splashing. Yelling. Loud voices were screaming and shouting as they swam around in the pool."Pool? And you let me dress up like this. What's even going on?", I asked as I stared around. "Today is the splash pool party. Remember?", She tugged on my shoulders. Remember? I don't even remember receiving the news.How could I? Staying in the room 24/7 kept me uninformed. Did I even have the rights to know about it. I was just an omega in upper class werewolves. I watched silently as men and women played and danced around the pool deck. Their bodies bumping to the rhythm of the beating speaker. Red cups in hand, they seemed to drown in the intoxication of their beverages.Food. Liquor. I began to miss my fellow omegas. They knew nothing about this. They were probably working like slaves right now as these ones partied. "Mmm." My mind left my thoughts to follow the alluring
"Reservations for two under Mr. Robinson.""Oh yes, right this way." She escorted us in to the dining area.She stopped in front a lovely table, topped with flowers, candles, and a red satin table cloth. We both took our seats, thanking the host politely.The restaurant was calm. Mellow music played around and the lighting was dimly lit to give a relaxing feel."So how are you?", Jason started."Never better. Just want to see how this is going to be ." I answered uninterestedly but with a forced smile on my face."Good, so am I."I picked up my menu and began looking over it. Wow, I had no idea what half these options were. A majority of the menu was written in another language. French I'm guessing."Um what do you recommend?" I asked."Well, what are you more in to? Chicken? Beef? Pork? Seafood?""Um Im going to go with beef." Why did it feel awkward saying that?We both laughed when I made a strange face after."Your smile is very beautiful." He quickly turned things more serious.O
ALPHA BLAIR'S POVI was feeling the pressure. It felt as though everything was crashing down on me at once. My un-marked mate. She is an omega. The rogues My home. I was carrying a weight on my shoulder that I know would break me sooner or later.Most especially these mate issues. I knew it that eo soon she will break me.I walked out of my office and headed back over to Rinah's room to find her. She wasn't there but the smell of her scent still lingered in her room. I walked downstairs and in to the kitchen to see Amara and Bridget sitting at the table."Amara, where's Rinah?" I opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of water."Um, I allowed her to go to her mother's house to get more clothing."She didn't sound to truthful, and by the sound of both of their racing heartbeats, I knew she wasn't."Where is she Rinah?" I asked again. I knew she couldn't keep anything a secret for long. Especially from me."I-I just told you, she went to her mother's house.""If she did, whose
It was a weird feeling not to work with the pack from sunrise to sundown. Instead, I stood on the balcony that looked out over the countryside. My room was one of the few that had a balcony with a view of the sprawling mountain range.Snow blanketed the peak, indicating that the entire mountain would soon be covered in the soft, icy grip of winter's mercy. Much like Saint, it was without sympathy, making roadways impassable, cutting the pack off from the outside world.The icy wind bit into my naked arms, sending my hair whipping against my face while I watched the sun setting behind the highest mountain. The thin gown I wore did little to keep the chill from settling in my bones, but I wel- comed the cold that burned my face, leaving it red from the freezing air.Already the pack was behind schedule, running around without no one leading them. The alphas had ignored Toralei's guidance, and even from the front balcony, I could discern that the lumber they'd accepted wasn't weathered o
"Monsters can hide in plain sight, with no one suspecting what lies beneath the surface. The world is filled with them, and most are human. Lucas was always a monster, but he hid it behind kind eyes and smiles. It was my job to find the demons and drive them out, and I failed. Maybe I deserved what I had endured since I'd failed the pack in spotting the monster within our midst. My father never hid the sinister nature he wore like a cloak around him. The pack was always wary of him, but they stayed because of me. Because of my legacy and the bloodline that I hold." Guilt washing over me that I was held in a prison of my own making. Not me, per second, but the blood rushing through my veins drove Fenrir wolves to our gates, where they'd become my responsibility to protect."It isn't your fault, Braelyn. What happened to you down there-it shouldn't have happened to anyone. Ever. Saint is coming. I'll call Douglas and secure passage. You figure out how to lose your guards." Tora's eyes f
It took days to fully heal from my injuries, even with copious amounts of vampire blood that had been fed to me intravenously. During that time, Saint had hovered. He'd been inside the room with me, trying to force conversation, which I'd ignored for the most part. There was a certain freedom in knowing someone else was taking care of the pack and that it wasn't up to me to oversee it all anymore.On the fifth day of being on bed rest, Saint finally slipped out of the room to deal with a disturbance. It left me alone for the first time since he'd shown up here and ruined my plans. Slipping into the closet, I dressed into a soft pair of jeans and a cashmere top.I slid my feet into a pair of knee-high leather boots and stepped out of the bedroom, peering up at Xavier, who leaned against the wall with his phone in his hand. He pushed it into his pocket the moment he noticed me."How are you feeling?" His kind, blue eyes met and held my stare. "Fine," I said sharply as his mouth tipped i
"Fuck off, demon. She's not yours to toy with and in no condition to deal with your games," Saint grunted, settling beside me in nothing more than a pair of loose-fitting shorts. "Inhale," he ordered, holding the joint to my lips. I licked my chapped, blood-covered lips, and he sighed, nodding to the men leaning against the wall, silently watching us. "She needs water, more blood, and that fucker's head. In that order, gentlemen." "I'll grab water," Phenrys announced, pushing off the wall."I'll get more blood," Bowen snorted, following him out of the room."I'll help Ezekiel convince Cole Van Helsing that we need his assistance to go hunting. Lucas couldn't have made it too far off this mountain," Sian stated, nodding toward Ezekiel, who continued staring at me."You're in agony, yet you don't make a sound. You are either very good at hiding the pain, or you've had lots of time to master it, little girl. How much pain have you known in your lifetime to hide that emotion from your pre
Saint entered the shower a few moments later, grabbing the shampoo to lather my hair. Eryx joined us, and they worked together, silently cleaning my battered body. Saint pulled me against him, turning me toward Eryx, who peered down at my body with a murderous look dancing in his gaze. "We find Lucas, and we return what he did to her tenfold, Saint," he growled, his midnight gaze sliding up to meet mine. "Agreed," Saint whispered, holding me carefully as Eryx used a soft cloth towash my body. They worked like they'd done this before, helping one another to ease the pain. My eyes closed against the dark blotches swimming in my vision.I gasped, screaming as Eryx washed between my thighs. Air refused to reach my lungs as I fought against him cleaning my sex, riddled in shallow cuts.His jaw clenched, and pain filled his eyes."She may have internal damage," Eryx admitted.Saint's hands tightened around my chest, and his lips brushed against my shoulder. He was prepared to subdue me if
BraelynI could hardly walk, but I wouldn't allow anyone to help me. It wasn't pride or something else forcing me forward. It was that I wanted nothing to do with any of them. Saint abandoned me in that container, choosing to give others the responsibility for my care. I thought Lucas was my friend, but I was so very wrong. He watched me being strung up to die, cut multiple times, and returned to continue the torture. The alphas I'd spent my entire life focused on protecting and providing for stood idle while I was left in a dark hole to die.We passed through the gates, and my gaze slid over the wolves that watched us with curiosity. After a moment, they turned, giving me their backs, albeit hesitantly. My heart clenched, knowing that whatever Saint was selling, they'd bought it. Turn your back on an alpha was a show of disrespect, saved for those who had betrayed the pack. Fuck them, too, then.My attention shifted to Toralei, who watched me with horror-filled eyes. I could imagine
Carleigh would probably help him free her so that she could get back into my bed. Hellhounds were territorial, and she'd made no secret about her inten- tion, even after I'd turned her down repeatedly. Hell, I'd even invited Eryx to join me with her, and she still hadn't gotten the message that we weren't exclusive.It took an hour and a half to reach the lodge, and the moment we landed, Toralei was there screaming at me. I watched her marching up to me, poking her finger into my chest as her rage filled the air between us. "Where is she?" she demanded, hair wild and messed as if she'd been run- ning her fingers through it in anger. I slid my gaze over her face, noting the way her nostrils flared, and her pupils dilated."Where the fuck is who?" I countered, watching her face turn a mottled shade of red. "Braelyn! What the hell did you do with her, asshole?""She's in her fucking room, Toralei. Point that finger at me again, and I'll fucking rip it off." "Liar! She is not in her fucki
Saint - A few hours earlierI stood in the hallway, outside one of the many medical wards that held families uniting with their loved ones. Eryx stood across from me, speaking with a medic that had spent countless hours in the last two weeks tending to the chil- dren we'd found on the mountain. I'd spent a week here when we'd caught a lead on another smuggling ring and handled it before preparing to head back up the mountain. I'd needed the time away from Braelyn to let the anger I'd felt dissipate. I knew what everyone wanted and what was required. Putting Brae down, though, the idea left me cold and dead inside.She'd known about the killing fields, which meant she'd fucking known it was filled with boxes of victims. Fucking children that were helplessly awaiting torture. It would be endless with their immortality kicking in; even as young as they were, they'd heal if their tormentors didn't take shit too far.It had knocked me back, knowing she'd been aware of the children buried i
Days went by, and still, no one came to get me out of the dark hole in which they had left me alone. By the seventh day, I'd given up hope of anyone coming to retrieve me. Did the pack not realize that I was gone? Or had Saint made them see what a monster I was? On the eighth day, I was lying on the floor be- tween the bodies when a blinding light disturbed the container.Lifting my arm. I tried to block out the light as someone jumped down, and then pain ripped through me. I gasped, rolling into a tight ball as a booted foot connected with my stomach. Something metal slammed into my head, and then consciousness faded away.When I awoke, it was to being propped up on something small. Opening my eyes, I stared at the shadowy figure in front of me. Blood coated my head, and I tasted it inside my mouth. I inhaled, trying to scent who was in the cart with me, but only the stench of blood and death filled my nose.Turning my head, I screamed as something sliced through my shoulder and thro
