Bare walls surrounded me as the half-moon shinned into my open window. Its crocket smile taunting me, shaming me for my unforgettable actions, the dream I had last night. This time it wasn't a full moon so I didn't except to have any dream.My mom's words were the only ones currently flowing in my head. Even after telling that I was fine here in the pack, she still insisted that we should escape and so soon.I stretched on the bed with a loud yawn and tried to get my bearings. "Hell yeah", I stretched out my neck to look out at the window. With my eyes opened ,l listened to the forest outside. Everything was cool but my inner part wasn't. I had my mom's words in the head still running and I had the heat issues.I needed to work on this heat again. This time I had the solution for it. I had my dildo, I got it from my mother's place.I reached under my bed. I gripped the sued straps of my duffle bag and pulled it from under the bed. Unzipping the small hidden pocket inside of the bag
"Dammit Rinah, do I have to wake you up every morning?"I rolled away and pulled the blanket over my tired frame to drown out the scintillating sun and the voice of the intruding red head Amara. The moment, I showed her my kind side she totally became a problem in my life. The past days, she made me regret why I let her become my close friend. "No, just let me sleep in today." My hand emerged from under the blankets and flagged her away."Come on, its training again princess." She snatched the blankets from over my body. She should thank the goddess that last night I opted to put on pajamas all because my heat was done.I gave in and sat up. I knew it was going to be difficult to actually get her to leave me be. I shot her a viscous glare. She smiled, seemly uninfected by my look.I began to regret my room being so close to hers.....After some time, I emerged from the bathroom. Fully clothed in my training gear, I ran my fingers through my hair before I tightened it into a ponytail
The moment I entered in my room with all the anger I had in my body, I went straight to the bed.Jamie really wanted to provoke the beast out of me. If it wasn't for her Alpha to save her, I would have beaten the hell out of her.She really needed to learn a pretty good lesson.I kept my eyes on the ceilings not until when I heard my door being opened with a lot of energy. Whoever entered made me to freeze immediately. It was him.My mate. I could feel his anger and dominance off him. His aura was cold and I could feel his harsh gaze at me. Silently afraid, l didn't dare to open up my eyes. I didn't know what he was going to tell me. "I know you wake", He soon enough deadpanned , his voice deep and dark. It reverberated in the room the thing which made my heart to beat more in my chest. "It's good that you know, say whatever you want and get your ass out", I harshly snapped back at him. I didn't care at whatever he was. I wasn't ready to obey him. "Whom are you talking to like tha
"Know where you belong, am not a whore like you", Finding it unbearable to control my anger, the words furiously escaped out of my mouth. "Have you just replied to me like that", She sneered back a bit shocked."I can do more than that", l confidently hissed out."Take her right now back to her room", Alpha Blair roared at the guards. "Keep on keeping me here and you will see the worst of me", l snarled at him too before the guards dragged me away.As soon as the door was closed by the guards, l dropped down on the bed and a loud scream fall out of my mouth. This is what l really hated. I didn't want him as my matefor heaven's sake."Better tell that Alpha of yours too let.... ",I instantly trailed off in mid sentence when the door out of the blue burst open. He was here again.."So it seems as though you forgot the rules", He burst out as soon as he closed the door behind his back. "All you forgot was that am an omega not like you upper class....mother fucker. Let me go back to my m
BLAIR'S POV.I knew it that she would break at one point. I was done being the nice man . I knew it that it wouldn't be long before my inner beast took over like it always did and teach her a lesson. The only thing that kept me from ruining her before was now gone. It was time to ruin her defiance.I have been publishing her severely but I had no conscience or guilt whatever. And I couldn't help for the moment to wipe her defiance right off her fierce face. I wanted her to surrender completely to me and know that she was mine , the one chosen to be my mate. All l knew was that she was fucking mine. Omega, weak or whatever she was mine, the only person who was chosen to give birth to pups in the whole pack. At the sight of her , l minimized her but the only thing that shocked me was that she wasn't what I thought she would be. I always considered omegas to be weak but she wasn't. She was the only one who had defiance in her eyes clear and sharp. I ordered for her punishment, put her
RINAH'S POV"Leave me alone", l screamed out as soon as the bodyguards held up my hands. Yes this time I screamed. I didn’t do anything wrong and he ordered the guards to take me."Take her to the cells", I heard Blair groan out again. "Fuck you son of a bitch", l shouted as the guards dragged me towards the hallways. Just like a criminal, they dragged me mercilessly then threw me into a dark room.This time the cell was different not the one, I was in before. It was a round room with chains hanging on the wall. With angry growls, they quickly chained my wrists . They walked out after and closed the door behind their backs. A few minutes went by before l heard keys turning into the lock. Shockingly that was accompanied by whines and cries from a girl on the other side .The door flew open and someone threw a tiny figure in the room. She landed on the floor and l gasped in disbelief. "Whitney", l gasped out and then I quickly slid my hands from the hoops and crawled quickly to where
BLAIR'S POV I walked towards my chambers with my mind fully occupied with thoughts. It was already very late, past midnight. I had work to do but my mind was filled up with Rinah. I didn't mean it when I ordered the guards to kill her. I just wanted her to be tortured again but again she fought the guard and ran back in her room.Her courage, stubbornness, defiance was driving me crazy. The yearning for her was becoming unbearable. Without giving it a second thought I made my way to her room."You lastly learned a lesson", l spoke as soon as I entered in her room. "I will not learn until I am dead", Her response shocked me to the core. I had a thought that she was already asleep but I was wrong. It was already late but she was awake looking up at the ceilings. Due to the fact that she was chosen by the moon goddess, all her wounds healed within few hours and she was again defiantly plotting another idea in her head. She wanted to run away from the room."I know what you thinking abou
BLAIR'S POV .Meaning it ,I reached for her hand but she flinched. She didn't take it and then walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in , staying as close to the edge of it as much as she could.I smirked when she did a karate chop move down the middle of the blankets. She was trying to draw a boundary line. With the smirk still on my face I got back in the bed under the blankets. I intentionally slid over and obliterated her Berlin Wall then climbed up on top of her. I pinned her wrists above her head and nuzzled into the crook of her neck then ran my nose up the length of her neck until my mouth was on her ear. She smelled amazing. She smelled like me , she smelled like vanilla. My wolf couldn't take it anymore.Her hair smelled flowery. Her throat smelled like vanilla and chocolate . Of all things she stiffened under me and I lost it all. I felt my nails enlongatening together with my canines. As much as I didn't want it, my wolf was taking control.RINAH'S POVHe was run
Jackson's hands moved over his heart, and a roguish smile covered his lips. "Never call it such. Daisy Dame," he laughed. "I better go fix the jukebox before Floyd gets here and starts beating it again." "He does love his music," I muttered, turning my attention to the door as it opened.Royce and Bryce, regulars at the bar, entered, shaking the snow from their jackets as they removed them. Grabbing a pitcher, I tipped it to fill for them and took the $20 bill he placed on the bar, breaking it into change for them to play pool. Once they headed off, I started mixing the drinks we'd serve for the special.People began filing in as the clock ticked on, and the music got more bois- terous. I'd finished mixing the drinks for a group of women who were slumming it, their words, not mine. Jackson worked beside me, moving through the orders for the kitchen while I focused on the drinks.I was pouring another pitcher of beer when the doors opened, and a man entered. My senses screamed in warni
BraelynStepping out of the shower, I peered around the small cramped room. It was hardly big enough to turn around in, but it was clean. We'd rented a new apartment in a high traffic area, close to work, once we'd noticed the wolves around the one Douglas had chosen for us. It would have been more dangerous to be around wolves, especially considering Saint had left me in a precarious condition.I dressed in a pair of soft, stretchy jeans and pulled the camisole top over my sensitive breasts. Turning sideways in the cramped room, I looked at the gentle swell of my belly in the mirror. It was noticeable now and hard to hide that I was pregnant. Groaning. I grabbed the sweater and slipped my arms into it, shoving my hair into a messy bun before I left the room. The stale scent of takeout food made my nose itch, hating that it wasn't the fresh food we'd had on the mountain. I missed the mountain and the protection it would have offered me in my current condition. I hated waking up every
Zayne killed the feed as I moved to grab Chaos. I didn't even know what to say to him since I wasn't able to process what I'd seen. I'd accused Braclyn of helping Harold, and she'd been his primary victim. Why hadn't she said any- thing? Why hadn't she tried to reach me with the truth?"That's why she was so sad all the time," Chaos whispered, his eyes swim- ming with unshed tears. "She tried to hide it and pretend not to be sad, but I sensed it. I caught it once when she was trying to pretend she was happy." He sniffled, and I frowned at his words.I swallowed down the sick feeling as I tried to recall Braelyn ever acting like a victim. "How the fuck did we miss this?" I asked myself, but it was Chaos who answered."You had to watch her when she didn't think you were. Fear is an emotion. and so is pain. We control our emotions, and only we allow people to see them." He handed me a phone, and I stared at it. "I saw it because she seemed sad, but she's Braelyn. She is only sad when no
Nausea washed through me, knowing exactly how much pain was involved when skinned alive. The entire room watched as Harold tossed the knife aside and spoke to the camera, with no volume, as per his usual shit. It wasn't until someone else entered the room, his face obscured by a mask, that the camera was adjusted, and the volume came to life. I didn't relish the idea of hearing her screams or reliving the tortured memories they'd bring back to life."Nothing yet? She's a different breed, Harold," the masked male an- nounced, and even though he was wearing the mask, we all knew it was Lucas."There is that sadistic fuck, Lucas. I can't believe he was under our noses all this time, and had been the one to help Harold in his torture session. But why wear the mask?" Eryx gripped his fists and shook in rage.My eyes slid back to the woman, noting her head was covered, and I was willing to bet she was probably gagged beneath the sack. It helped Harold and Lucas to dehumanize their victims.
Saint-Three Months LaterI watched Cole Van Helsing climb out of the Blackhawk helicopter, shield- ing his eyes as he moved toward me, shaking the snow from his heavy coat. Tat- tooed fingers righted the collar of his jacket, and he smiled upon seeing me. "Van Helsing," 1 announced, running my eyes over the tattoo that covered his brow and his temple to vanish into his hairline. "Kingsley, pleasure as always," Cole said in a heavily accented tone that most women would fawn over. "You are causing quite the issue for us. I hope your mate is worth it," he concluded, nodding at the other helicopters that were coming in as Cole's took off to refuel."She is, and I believe she's pregnant with my child," I announced, watching his face pinch with distaste."Seems to be in the water lately," he grumbled. "Someone needs to invent some immortal-proof birth control.""You too, huh?" I asked."No, not me." he said in a tone filled with anger. "Rhys is going to be a daddy, but he's rejected his mat
"You should run until you reach the furthest exit. It should have anyone trailing Braelyn's scent on your tail while we head in the opposite direction. They aren't expecting her to go through the river, and the rafts will make it near impossible for Saint to catch her scent on the wind. Once you get to the end of the tunnel, Tyler, get on the bike and toss the nightgown over the cliffside. It should have them searching for her until nightfall, leaving us enough time to put some distance between them and us." Douglas dropped the nightgown into Tyler's hand, watching as he took one last long, heated glance at Tora, who smirked wickedly at his interest. "Go, you two can hook up much later once we're off this cursed mountain. The snow is coming, and once it does, we'll be easier to track."We watched Tyler vanish into one of the many caves. Douglas sprinkled the pepper over the entrance of others, including a light dusting at the one where Tyler had disappeared. Moving to where Tora and I
I'd dressed in a soft pair of jeans and flat, leather, thigh-high boots with multiple buckles covering the top of the leather, curving and hugging my calves. The jacket I'd chosen was army green, with soft fur lining that heated against my arms. Tugging the jacket up tighter, I zipped it while walking the perimeter of the courtyard with Phenrys, my unlucky babysitter for the day.He was silent and vigilant as we moved through the mostly empty yard. I paused, inhaling the crisp air that threatened snow as it stung against my nose and cheeks. "It's cold as shit out here," he grumbled, rubbing his hands together while studying the way I moved. "We're going back inside momentarily because I'm over the cold.""I need to light the candles inside my mother's crypt. They've been ne- glected, and I'd like to do so before we go back inside."Phenrys dropped his head, rolling it back to look at me before sliding his gaze to the crypt that sat a few yards away from the newly built ad-on. Nodding,
"Oh, this will be fun." I turned back to him, noticing how his eyes skimmed over my bare skin."Hey, they're at least excited to meet you from what he told me. But there are other Alpha's in the city and the meetings with them aren't going as smoothly without me. They're on edge, and some of them might be secretly against me. There's a lot going on.""Something is always happening in the world. They just all seem to be happening to us right now." I gave him the closest thing I could to a comforting smile, one that wasn't a mask. I needed to be real with him. "Luckily, we can handle your wolves with little interference.""Our wolves, you mean." He corrected and my brow pinched together. "We're mated now, officially. You bear my mark and I'm the Alpha. That makes you their Luna by wolf law."I rose from the bed, setting my feet on the cold floor and closing my eyes as I steadied myself. "Apollo, there's still a chance we won't make it out of here alive. The wolves, that's easy in my min
Saint climbed into bed, naked. He didn't move the pillows, choosing to slide beneath the covers. Before I could guess what Saint intended, he'd yanked on the blanket, lifting it, sending all the pillows shooting into the air, raining down around the bed. He pounced, capturing my wrists above my head, smiling down at me.“No more walls, woman. You and me, we have to figure out a balance so that we can live together. I know you're struggling because I can feel your turmoil through the link. I can feel your need to run, to escape me, and that isn't happening. I know you, Brae. I know you because you live within in me, inside my fucking soul.""If you really knew me, Saint, you'd know I would never be involved in anything that would hurt this pack." I whispered, struggling to get out from beneath him.He allowed me to wiggle from his grip as he settled in beside me. His attention moved over my face before he softly exhaled. "At night, when they'd put us back into our cells. I dreamed of y
