Okay. I asked to see her again. Was that the worst move in the world? Gianna evidently thought so, as she ran out of the restaurant quicker than a horse out of the racing blocks. Perhaps it was too soon? I am so shit at this. So out of practice. And this time, it had cost me. Because I was now alone. I messed up...

‘No shit, Sherlock.’ My wolf, Echo, very unhelpfully piped up. As I stood to go and pay the waiter, who I was damn sure had one hell of an irritating smirk upon that annoying face of his. What frustrated me more was Gianna had thrown money down for her meal. I asked her to join me. Did that not indicate I was paying? I did not expect her to give me money for the meal, and the fact that she felt she should made me unsettled.

‘Well, consider it an excuse to see her again, and apologize for being a blathering fool.’ Echo said kindly. Wow, my wolf was being ever so supportive today. Just what I needed.

But maybe he did have a point. I could try to at least catch her up and pay

    I returned home to the apartment as quickly as I could, ensuring to take a couple of diversions in case I was being followed. I know I am beyond crazy. Likely overthinking. But, with a crazed ex on my tail, and having been chased out of a restaurant by a guy I ran out on, I think today, more than ever, my mind over-running may be more than valid. And I was not ready to risk my safety. Ever since I had been told that Dalton had reappeared, I had been taking diversions on my way to my new home, just to be on the safe side.I couldn't help but think back to the mess tonight had turned into; only coming to the conclusion that I should have done the sensible thing and never listened to Noushka. I should never have been sweet talked into going to dinner with Mason. No matter how handsome or charming he may be. He was not someone I needed to be getting involved with right now. In doing so, I had landed myself in an awkward situation. But it is so damn hard to say no to him! The way he looke

    I knew, even coming off the phone with Tavi, I had no chance of sleep. She knew that too, so we decided to continue chatting. It was something we had done so many times before when we lived together, sitting chatting into the early hours of the morning. We always found things to talk about, and she was an appreciated distraction. Making me smile at the strange things she spoke of...I went to the wardrobe, pulled out the storage tin from the back, under my holdall, and walked back to the floor of the lounge. Sitting down cross-legged, I pulled off the lid of the old metallic tin, and tipped the contents out on the floor. My savings. Everything I have worked for since my arrival here. My escape funds...A large pile of notes lied around me as I began to count just how much money I had. I have been saving since the moment I ran from Dalton and our life within the Galcier Shadow Pack. Any jobs I had, I kept the minimum amount to live off, and the rest I would save. My final goal was alw

    I loved my pack, of course I did. I was the Alpha, after all. Yet today, I had been reluctant to head home. Reluctant to leave town with the situation unresolved with Gianna, but no way of fixing it. So, returning home seemed the only thing I could do, with the plan to bury my head in paperwork. I walked back into the packhouse only to walk straight into Levi. A knowing smirk upon his face. “Oh, so you are alive then?” he said accusingly. “We were about to send a search party out for you.”I rolled my eyes at my friend. He was cheeky fuck. It wasn’t like I hadn’t let him know I was headed out. I had literally asked him if he was okay to cover duties for me. “You knew I had stuff to do.”“Dancers to chat up, you mean?” he said with a grin, and I looked at him with a frown.“What gave you that idea? I said I was out on business.”Levi chuckled. The expression upon his face said so much without saying a word. My friend was an ass. “The business of trying to get that dancer into your be

    I had somehow managed to sleep, once I had come off the phone to Tavi, though the sleep was fitful. Dreams of Mason interspersed with flashes of Dalton. Even a mixture of the two. Fears they were involved with one another in some form or another, though I had no real reason for that logic…Yet somehow, I had made it to the morning. Relatively refreshed, and got myself showered. It was late morning by the time I had refreshed myself further with multiple mugs of coffee, and watching brain-numbing morning TV before I was ready to head out of the door. Ready to head to work for another shift. I couldn't help but wonder if Mason might turn up.Though first I had to get there, and that thought alone filled me with anxiety. Each day since hearing Dalton had found me, I dreaded going out of the place I now called home, with the fear he would be there waiting for me. But thankfully, that was yet to happen, and hopefully, he had taken Tavi’s lies as the truth and believed I had moved away…Fra

    Sitting in my office with a stack of paperwork to deal with was far from ideal when my mind was definitely on other things. I had not slept well, and the excessive amounts of coffee I had drunk only added to the unsettled sensation pulsing through my body.Levi had chosen to come and irritate me for the past hour, and I didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a hindrance right now, as he was most certainly not helping me with my workload. And his incessant wittering was beginning to give me a headache.“Do you think Jasmine would agree to…” he began.Jasmine was his mate, and I really did not want to imagine where this conversation could be headed, because Levi truly had no filters, and was more than willing to discuss all aspects of his life with me. “Dude, I do not want to know what Jas will or will not consent to. She is your mate, you go and ask her.” I interrupted him, earning myself a knowing grin, telling me my guess had likely been right on the money.“I am not sure why your

    I sat patiently waiting now for Jaxon to update me with what he had overheard. Was it a bit inappropriate that he had been listening in? Yes. But, curiosity had got the better of me, and I was desperate now to know what had been said, so it was going to be a case of letting that case slide for now.But, just as Jaxon was about to enlighten us with the information he had overheard, he had received a phone call, and we had been placed on hold. Nothing like bad timing, and nothing like putting me on edge! My mind was working overtime with the possibilities of what he may have overheard that he felt I needed to know so urgently that it would require him to call me on the way to a business meeting; and quite honestly, none of the potential scenarios my frazzled, caffeinated brain could conjure up were good.“What were the chances Jax would bump into her?” Levi asked with a smile. Maybe even a little smugness behind his smile. “You think she would have recognized him after spending so long

    I had not been able to shake the fact that it was likely Mason’s friend who had been standing right behind Tavi and me in the queue in the coffee shop, and more than likely listening in to our conversation. I am sure that was who he was. I had thought I recognized his face the moment he walked into the coffee shop. But, while his face looked vaguely familiar, I had been unable to place it, because the night I had seen him my main focus had been Mason. But, the more I thought of it, I was sure it was Mason's friend. And, I was more and more sure he had heard more than I would have wanted him to. No, I think it was almost a certainty that he was listening in, considering he almost choked at Tavi's inappropriateness.My mind had been distracted all the way through my shift, unable to help myself but ponder whether his friend would have told Mason what he had heard. And when that wasn’t on my mind, my eyes were back and forth to the door, wondering why Mason hadn’t decided to come and vi

    That heavy grip upon my arm pulled me back, and with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach I raised my gaze to meet the eyes I had hoped never to see again. “I thought it was you.” his voice was angry. "The fact you were walking as fast as those pretty little feet could carry you was another giveaway."His voice was every bit as cold and sadistic as I remembered. He hadn't changed, not that I would have expected him to have. And my whole body trembled in fear. I had thought I had got away from him. I was hours away from our home pack, and had traveled from town to town over the months since leaving him in a bid to avoid his detection. But, it seemed like my worst nightmare had finally found me.“Dalton…” I began, my voice trembling, instantly indicating my fear, causing him to smirk. As always, he was getting a kick out of my terror. Sick fucker that he was. He had loved every moment of my fear since the initial effects of the matebond had worn off. I could feel the weight of hi

    1 week later.I looked down at the dark-haired bundle of joy sleeping within my arms. He was beautiful. So perfect. And he was ours. Zane, our gorgeous little boy. A spitting image of his Daddy. For so many years I had resigned myself to the idea of never having children, yet here I was holding my very own son. A son I had carried. A son made with love. And I truly felt blessed.I placed a tender kiss upon his head, and he snuggled deeper into my embrace, making me smile. I look back on everything now, and can't help but wonder, perhaps I had to go through the hell that I did to find my little piece of heaven. Had I not been through all I did with Dalton, then I would never have found myself working at Midnight Moods, and I would never have met Mason. I would not have had my heart won over by his charm and his sweetness, not to mention his handsomeness... and I would never have found myself a part of this wonderful pack. Nor would I have the family I had so desperately craved. I have

    1 year Later I rolled over in bed to see my beautiful mate, smiling as I looked at her sleeping. A sight I would never tire of waking up to. Who would have thought all that pain I went through in the betrayal of my fated matebond, would, in the end, bring me the most perfect of chosen mates? The mate I think I was meant to be with. For the feelings I have for Gianna far outweigh anything I ever felt for Brooke in a way I cannot explain. The way she brings happiness and contentment to both me and my wolf is something I hadn't experienced before, and it is something I do not want to lose.Our closeness had only developed further in her time within my pack; and the matebond strengthened to one I believed was indestructable. She was everything I could hope for in a mate, and a Luna. Walking into the bar that night, albeit reluctantly, seemed like it may have been the best decision of my life; because it meant I met Gianna. It brought me the greatest blessing in my life, even if I had to

    Gianna, on top of me, was unexpected, but heavenly. Her body moved with such grace as she took every inch of me, deeper and harder. The pleasure was evident on her face. And I got a front row view…The feel of her tight pussy around me as she moved harder and faster was sending my body into meltdown. The way her breasts bounced with her movements had me mesmerized. My hands sat upon her hips, as I began to thrust to meet her, allowing me to go deeper inside of her.And the pleasurable moans that came from Gianna told me she liked that. I liked being able to turn her on. And having her on top, seeing this view was something else. I was enjoying exploring all the ways we could enjoy one another, and could not wait to see what was to come…Gianna began to move a little harder, increasing the pressure with which she moved, her breathing becoming more erratic, telling me she had to be close again. I could not help but smile. I moved my finger to her clit once more, knowing this was what ha

    Feeling myself inside of Gianna was everything I had imagined and more... and jeez had I been thinking of it alot lately... sometimes without even meaning to as well. But actually being with her? Well, it was something else. So much more than I could have imagined. I wanted this forever. Her touch sent me to places I don’t think I have ever been. And the look of her body coming apart under my touch, and feeling her pussy tightening around my cock had tipped me to the point of no return.Pleasure surged through me. My whole body trembled as I reached my release. The heavy gasps of Gianna’s breathing, matched by my own, as I felt Echo pushing forward, I could feel my canine’s elongating. God-damn, my wolf! He wanted to do this now. He did not care for taking our time and not rushing her.I wanted it too, but I didn’t want to push Gianna. Didn’t want to pressure her. Yet, to my surprise, as I looked down at her, she was offering me her neck…I was not about to rush this yet though. I had

    The moment I had whispered those words against Mason’s lips, I felt him smile, and he lifted me as he stood, his hands resting under my butt, before he placed me softly in the center of the bed. He wasted no time in removing his pants. Releasing his already hard cock from the restraints of the fabric that had been holding it back.Mason now stood in front of me naked, and my eyes could not help but travel over his body… his toned, perfect body… I was not going to be disappointed, I knew that much. And as I brought my eyes back to his, he was smiling. “Like what you see?” he teased, as he knelt himself on the bed, parting my legs swiftly with his hand. My whole body trembled with anticipation. I think, little did he know, I had waited for this moment since that first kiss we had shared...Already my heart was pounding, and the wetness increasing between my legs, as Mason’s fingers found their way there once more. His eyes didn’t leave mine as he teased, seeming to like watching the re

    Seeing Gianna fall apart at my touch, looking so vulnerable… giving herself to me so fully did something to me. And as I looked down at her, I was unable to hold back my words. But the shocked expression upon her face told me I may have said too much. Had I said too much too soon?Shit… things had been going perfectly. We had been enjoying being with one another. And now I think I may have just ruined the moment. My heart pounded heavily in my chest as I looked at the woman laying in front of me. The woman I was certain I was falling for, if I hadn't already fallen for her... I think I fucked up.‘No shit Sherlock.’ Echo muttered. Wow, even my wolf was in a mood with me. And he was all for marking her not that long ago! Now he was acting like I was the crazy fool for asking if I could make her mine?!Gianna lay looking at me, her chest rising and falling so rapidly as her eyelashes fluttered nervously. Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity. Fuck. I messed up. And I don't even know how to fix it...I e

    Things seemed to have gone from zero to way past zero in no time at all. The moment Mason stood in front of me my heart was racing, my mind went blank, not helped by Noushka going crazy. And then, when he touched me, just briefly, my whole body went into meltdown; and I knew I wanted more. I wanted to see how his touch felt. I had experienced a little of his touch, but I wanted to know more...His kisses were so sweet… the touch of his hands upon me felt different somehow, in a way I can’t explain. But every kiss, every touch was increasing my need for him. And as I hooked my arms around his neck, collapsing backward onto the bed, I knew then that my earlier doubts were evaporating rapidly, and I didn’t want things to end. I just hoped he felt the same.Mason came down onto the bed with me, but rested his elbow upon the bed so he didn’t crush me. The look within his eyes told me everything I needed to know. He was wanting this as much as me. His hand stroked back my hair in the way h

    I quickly cleared up the bathroom, giving Gianna the privacy she needed to change. I chose to check in with Jaxon and Levi as I did, to ask them to ensure it was arranged to have some clothes dropped here for Gianna by the morning. But despite trying hard to keep myself occupied, my mind kept wandering back to the thought of her right now in my bedroom, half naked and how badly I wanted to be there with her…Echo was giddy at the thought too. But I knew I had to be a gentleman. I could not rush this. She had had a difficult day. I was still recovering from injuries… injuries Gianna had saved me from. Saving me in such a way that has resulted in the mark upon my neck. A mark I am unsure if she truly wants to be there, if I am honest. But one I am so desperate to reciprocate…I knew the spare room was always made up, so I did not need to check in there. I had avoided telling her about the spare room, or even showing her to that room before her shower. Perhaps I had hoped she would want

    Mason’s words had touched me. He was truly the sweetest. Did I want to be his mate? I honestly couldn’t say. Surely it was too soon, wasn't it? I knew I enjoyed his company. That much had become evident the first night of meeting him. But, did I want to be with him? Yes, I think I may… but being with him meant so much more than simply being together. Him being an Alpha made things so much more complicated than I think I was ready to comprehend right now.‘Do not do this.’ Noushka warned. ‘He already wears our mark. He was willing to defend you, likely even die for you. What more do you want? Alpha or not, he is more than worthy of being a mate. And, I think it is what he wants too. Why would you intentionally hurt him?’I felt guilt flooding my body at the mere mention of what he had suffered because of me, combined with the prospect of hurting him. I hated seeing him lying there earlier, unconscious, absolut
