My whole body trembled, and I don’t think I knew how to stop it. I knew I was likely in shock. Yet Noushka was a bundle of energy, alternating between whimpering and howling within my mind. So uncomfortable to hear, it was beginning to create a headache… I think she was so full of pent-up adrenaline from finally being able to take out all those years of anger on Dalton…But, did I actually think she would kill him? That I wasn’t sure of. I thought maybe Mason or one of the warriors may have had to step in… usually my wolf was so docile… a wolf was a wolf, I am sure most would say, but I was not one for killing. I hated when she would kill any small prey, and she had never been one for partaking in hunts that used to happen in our old packs. I disliked that element of being a wolf…And despite it being part of her nature, Noushka had always seemed to respect that. But today… well, she had taken me by surprise…
Seeing Killian touching Gianna made me want to rip my friend limb from limb. Despite the fact, I knew my friend was only helping her, and he had stopped her stumbling further down into the ravine and potentially hurting her. He was doing as I would expect him to do... No, this was getting out of control. I didn’t even know how this woman felt about me. And here I was ready to decapitate one of my oldest friends for her… I think I am officially losing the plot. I don't even think I was as protective of Brooke as this... was I?But then for Killian to call Gianna my Luna my heart fluttered. That sounded truly amazing… She would be such an incredible Luna. So kind. So strong. Having been through so much, I am sure she would be incredibly compassionate too. She would be perfect…But I saw the terrified expression pass over her face, and my heart felt like it was shattering. She didn’t want that. She didn’t want me, and she did not wan
That small smile is enough to melt my heart. I swear this girl could ask me for the world and I would give it to her. I wanted her. I wanted us. But her next words shattered that hope…“Well, I guess I could go overseas now…”I swallowed heavily at her words. She had been saving to go overseas. That had been what she was working at the bar for. It wasn't like she had hidden that from me. She had spoken to me about it. It had been her plan… perhaps her dream, for all I knew. It was what she had intended to do in order to get away from Dalton. I knew that much. Until she realized it wasn’t as safe as she thought. But it was safe now. Dalton was gone and there was nothing to stop Gianna doing as she had initially planned.Echo whimpered painfully. Despite being weak from healing my injuries, he was evidently paying attention to what was being said. The thought of losing Gianna hurt him as much as it did me.
Mason’s lips had met mine and all my doubts had vanished. I had already decided I had wanted to return to his pack with him. Even with the threat of Dalton now wiped out, I could not shake the thought of all the things Mason had offered me. They sounded so perfect.I missed the werewolf community I had growing up. I had only been fleeing it because of Dalton… And being part of a community that would care for me… protect me… well, that was something that would take some adjusting to, of that I was sure. It had been a long time since I had that in my life, but, I liked the idea. And the idea of having Mason around…Well… that was the thing that had pulled me right back to wanting to be here. Making me want to give a fresh start here within his pack a chance. Being within his pack meant I could see him more often... explore this connection that I was sure had been developing between us, and that was before I had e
I was ready to knock my friend out. This man is clueless and has no filter. He had done it again. Killian referred to Gianna as my Luna. Yet we had not even had that conversation yet. Fucking hell, we had not even agreed to be together yet. And considering the panicked looks upon Levi and Jaxon’s faces, they were thinking our friend had messed up too. They clearly sensed the unease from Gianna as much as I did.And that sheer terror I sensed from Gianna told me all I needed to know. She looked fraught with nerves, her eyes a little wide. She was not ready for this yet. It was all too much for her just yet, and rightly so. She had just escaped one controlling matebond. I did not want to drag her into another matebond where she felt she had no control. That could be how she was viewing the partial matebond she was currently sharing with me... assuming, of course, she didn't choose to reject me now that I was okay... especially with all the added pressure
My head felt like it was spinning. Going back and forth with what I thought I should do, but Noushka urged me to stick to what we had planned with them. Reminding me that the safety of a pack could never be replaced. She seemed so determined to make this work... it was so rare that I disagreed with my wolf, but right now I didn't know what was the right choice to make. But, I agreed to go to the pack with them despite all of my uncertainty.Hearing Killian call me his Luna once more had sent me on a downward spiral. I was not ready to be anybody’s Luna and I would need to make that clear to Mason if he so much as tried to put pressure upon me. I knew I had marked him, but that was not to make myself his Luna...‘He is not the same as Dalton’ Noushka warned me coldly. She seemed oddly attached to the man we had earlier marked. Perhaps the partial matebond was already beginning to affect her? She certainly seemed quick to defend him and urge me to stay
There was a slight delay getting into the pack with the line of cars that arrived in front of us. All the warriors that had been out to protect me and Gianna were now returning too. I saw her face soften slightly at the mention of there always being an offer of a home in my pack, so I hoped that meant she liked the idea and that it may be something she now went on to consider…“This guard is taking the piss, he could just leave the gate open and let us all through.” Levi grumbled. I had a feeling he wanted to get home. Could I blame him? No. I was ready for home too. "Not like we are trying to invade our own bloody pack. What is taking him so damn long?"“Think it is one of the new guys, he will be trying to be thorough. You can’t knock him for that.” Jaxon said, offering the guard on the gate a defense. Jaxon was always trying to be understanding. Maybe a little too much sometimes. He was especially protective of the warriors he he
My eyes were darting from window to window within the car as we made our way along the dark road within Mason’s pack. I desperately wanted to see the pack that I had been invited to call my home. But it was increasingly difficult in the dark light of the night to make much out, but I could see countryside, and a lot of it. So, Levi’s implication that their pack was a shit hole seemed unlikely. And I had to say, I think I already liked the small amount I could see.Noushka was beginning to gain excitement once again too, as I squinted my eyes to try to allow us to see more. So much beautiful land for us to explore… forests and fields for her to run around in. It had been a long time since she had that much freedom. I tried hard to allow her a run a couple of times a week while living within the human world. It should have been more if we had been able to, but it was always risky, and not always easy to find somewhere safe.And then, when I had been in
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
