LISA POV
I double-check the supply truck. Most of all, the lumber has arrived, and I have enough hands to get this job underway. Alpha Emmett has faxed Scott three layouts for the small family homes. He wants 20 homes built, and we are to rotate the designs between the three blueprints.Mature chapter. My first ever mature scene. Bare with me.EMMETT POVLisa and her workers did not eat lunch in the packhouse today. I was extremelydisappointed, but I understand. She feels like sheneeds to protect her crew. I still can't believe Alpha reacted that way yesterday.Time is passing by so slowly. The paperwork is a jumbled mess in my mind, and nothing has been done for hours. All I can do is sit in my office and wait until 5 pm. I have waited five years for my mate, and now that I know her, I don't want to waste another second. Her honeysuckle wood scent is all over the territory now. And Alpha is in scent heaven.Finally, it is 4:45, and I can head to the job site. I make a stop in the restroom to check my appearance. Last night I had decided to shave off my well-maintained beard. I wanted to see if she reacted to my change.Seeing my current state in the mirror is disappointing. I have faint blue ba
R RATED CHAPTERLISA POVOne minute he is just a customer with a sexy body who has a thing for me. The next, my body is exploding with fire and desire. The minute I touched him, tingles had flared through me, and I was shocked at the mate bond.Is this what he has felt towards me since we met? Is this what my mother felt and the reason she chose to walk away from us?Every time he pressed his body on mine, my heart rate would increase. My body had craved his.When the haze of lust cleared and I realized what I had just done with our biggest customer ever, I panicked. I have never been intimate with a man of any species.I compete against males in every area of my life. I have never wanted a romantic relationship, and I never had the desire for sexual activities. But Emmett has just awoken something primal.I don't know how I made it home, but I did. Currently, I'm hiding in my room. Scott is still at Max's, probably enjoyi
EMMETT POVLisa's scent isn't with her crew this morning. I wonder if she will show up today, considering what happened last night. I can't believe we went that far. I shouldn't havepushed her. I know the bond is now stronger between us, which I'm thankful for, but I don't want to push my human mate.When the Goddess gave me the information about my mate, I chose to learn more about humans. I know humans aren't as sexually driven as we are, and I also know humans like relationships to build. Wolves move fast once we find our mates. I promised to move at a slow pace for my human. To woo her and build love up with the bond.Flashback Emmett 10 yrs oldEmmett- Where am I?Voice- You are in my realm, child.I look everywhere for the voice. And spot a beautiful woman standing in the grass. I instantly know it is my Goddess.Emmett- Hi goddess. Am I in trouble?The Goddess laughs at meGoddess- No child
LISA POVEmmett's office is nice and completely organized except for the hole in the wall where a window was. I can't believe rogues attacked his land while my crew was here. Ididn't even think about that danger when we took this job.I had told my crew to head to their safe room, but I couldn't go. My entire body was calling for Emmett's. I was sick to my stomach, thinking that he might be hurt. I've known this man for two and a half weeks, but it feels like years. The pull I've felt since last night is impossible to wrap my head around.When a big wolf tried to drag me to the safe room, I snapped. I immediately hit him with two jabs to the nose. Blood had splattered, and the wolf had let go. Mike had burst out laughing at the other wolf. I would not leave to some safe room like some scared little girl when he was out protecting all of us.Finally, the office door opens, and Emmett walks to his desk. He pauses for a moment at the hole
ALPHA POVI wake in the morning to Moira's small knock on our door."Yes, Moira. Come in," I say, standing up in yesterday's shorts and dirt."Breakfast is ready, Alpha," she says before stopping in her tracks when she sees me."Alpha, did you sleep while dirty," Little Moira asks while chuckling at me.I glare at her. Of course, I did. I needed rest, not cleanliness. Being clean does nothing to help you survive. She begins to laugh hard at my expression."Stop laughing," I order immediately.She stops and smiles at me. "Alpha, please shower. The pack expects you to be clean and presentable. They will already be worried that Emmett is not in control," she says reasonably and respectfully.I nod my head at her words. She is entirely right. The pack will be worried.I shower and dress our human form in workout clothes: breathable shorts and a tank top. I want our body on display when we see Lisa again. I will make our mate drool wi
R rated chapterALPHA POVI walk into our home and smell lunch. Moira is going to make a great housewife for someoneone day. Emmett growls at my thought."Alpha lunch is on the table for you. I have already eaten. I am going to let Molly run," Moira tells me with a little head bow."Stay away from the border," I order her as I pass to the dining room."Yes, Alpha," Moira says, heading out the door.Alpha- patrol, Moira is running in wolf form. No rogues will enter our lands while our sister is alone.Patrol- yes, Alpha.I eat the massive ham sandwich Moira made me in five bites. I wish Emmet would eat more in human form, but we never have time. I gulp down the fresh lemonade. Our small omega, Cinthia, enters the room almost immediately after I finish with my dishes."Are you finished, Alpha? I am about to wash dishes," little Cinthia asks me with her head bowed."Yes, little one," I say, standing from my sp
LISA POVI am antsy for five 'o'clock to get here. I need to apologize to Emmett. Hopefully, his wolf part won't be in control this time. However, his wolf is somehow calming to me.He is straightforward. He explains Emmett's and his emotions without hesitation. His explanation has me hating myself, though. Emmett has been nothing but kind. When he overreacted with Wayne, he apologized in front of his pack, which was incredible for an Alpha.My crew's progress today is steady, and we are back on schedule, even with the rogue delay from yesterday. I am hoping that will ease Emmett into forgiving me easier.Finally, 4:45 arrives, and we pack up. I shoot Scott a text about meeting at the gym and wait for Emmett. I try to control myself, but my eyes scan the road for his fantastic form over and over again. Scott doesn't message back, which I find to be weird. He usually replies immediately, almost in a creepy twin way.Finally, I see someone approaching the
EMMETT POV"Alpha, EMMETT," Moirayells while shaking my arm.Alpha answers her with aloud growl."Alpha, it's Lisa. You need to link Mike," Moira says quickly with a bowed head.I shove Alpha back and take control of our body. Before linking my Delta.Emmett- what is it, mike? Is she ok???!!!!Mike- yes, Alpha. Abby disrespected Luna tonight. I am bringing Abby to you. Luna .....beat her...pretty bad.Emmett- (growls) what did she say?Mike- she called Luna a disgrace and made a sexual comment about you. Luna didn't seem surprised, but her rage was......... it's hard to describe Alpha. I will let you see Abby first.Emmett- .......hurry.Does Lisa know about Abby? And how can she have put that tone of fear into Mike's mind? He sounded genuinely fearful for his sister, even though a few bruises should heal in a couple of days.Alpha- that slut. I turned her down today while you were recovering. She must hav
R RATEDTHIRD PERSONThe vampires move so fast. Splitting through the wolves, killing as they go. Rogues and Warriors alike, they don't care. Alpha shouts loudly, barking orders to the inexperienced wolves.Riverstone has never had a vampire as an enemy."Go for their hearts!" "Form circles!" "Protect each other!"Lisa and Moira are put in the middle of a very protected circle. Lance, Mike, Clint, Scott, and Alpha demolish attacking rogues with ease. The vampires seem to be targeting the confused wolves first. One female vamp approaches quickly, but Clint rips her heart out. A male Vampire screeches in pain.He moves at heightened speeds going for Clint, but Alpha blocks him. He does an elegant spin move avoiding Alpha's huge hand that reaches for his heart. He lands in the circle dashing towards Moira.Scott growls loudly. His arms are full. He has a struggling rogue in wolf form by the neck. The vampire doesn't slow down. He shots his hand out to rip Moira's precious heart out of her
LISAPOVThis morning felt quiet, calm, and eerie. Lance, Clint, Mike, Scott, Moira, Emmet, and I ate breakfast quietly. My skin is crawling with unease. We had all woke up exceptionally early, almost as if we could feel the threat approaching."So to pop the awkward bubble, everyone can feel it, right," Mike asks with his cheeks filled with sausage."Yes," I say, sipping my coffee squeezing Emmett's hand.This is the first time I have had to calm him constantly. Alpha is pulsing under the surface. He wants out. He wants to run his border and confront whatever is coming. But the plan is a group battle in the training field, not scattered battles in the trees."I've had constant contact with Craig all morning. The entire pack is feeling what we are feeling," Lance sa
R RATEDEMMETT POVHow can she be so perfect? So strong? She stands there getting congratulated by three strong Alphas and has over 700 wolves all admiring the ground she walks on.My manhood twitches. This perfect creature is ours. Suddenly I don't want her around anyone. Jealousy and lust pricks at my skin. She is standing primarily naked in front of hundreds of eyes. I can smell many unmated males' arousal, and it makes Alpha growl in our head.Lisa meets my hungry gaze with a knowing smirk. She can feel my arousal through the bond. The knowledge alone has me repeating history. I grab her and fling her over my shoulder. Riverstone wolves erupt into cheers."Emmett, my butt is showing," she says with a smile in her voice. I growl and shift her into a bridal hold.
EMMETT POV"I, Alpha Karen Gray, Challenge you, LunaLisa Matthews, to the death, for the title of Luna to Riverstone pack and the right to mate Alpha Emmett Stone," Karen says with a sneer.I growl loudly. She wants to be my mate..... she wants to strip Lisa of her rightful position. My wolf will have to honor the bond if she defeats my love. But if she loses, Riverstone gains her entire pack.My whole pack growls loudly. Mike and Moira are trembling with rage. Clint's fists are clenched, and Scott is smiling. Full-on smiling."I accept your challenge, Karen. You will never have my mate," Lisa spits the words. Loudly."Do you realize my sister has killed two wolves in like two months Bitch," Scott suddenly yells. "Oh, and she has only been a full werewolf for...oh
LISA POVI can't believe a slutty little wolf thought she could touch my brother. Alpha Karen's she-wolves must be completewhores.And I can't believe Little miss Alpha Karen thought she could undermine me and speak to my mate so informally. Linda has taught me Alphas arealways called Alpha, except by family members or their mates. Shoot, even Clint, Mike, and Lance call Emmett Alpha. And they are his closest friends."Let's go for a run, love. We need it. Then after you can go work on school work. Take some time and relax. We will have couples gym time tonight," Emmett says, stroking my hair lovingly."A run sounds amazing. Linda is extra energetic today," I say, pecking his waiting lips.I loved how he hadn't spared Karen even a glance when he sided with me
SCOTT POVIt's been a weeksince our group discussion at the table. All the allied wolves are here, and Riverstone is overflowing.Training has been intense—two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The difference between our wolves and the others is quite noticeable. All of our wolves, down to the omegas, have stamina and strength. But most of the visiting warriors can't keep up. A couple have even lost sparing matches against Riverstone Omegas.Lisa and Moira constantly train together. Moira can now land solid punches, and Lisa has gained some of Moira's quickness. And may I say my little mate is sexy when she is sparing. I now understand the reason those guys liked watching Lisa fight that she-wolf.My sword work is actually pretty impressive, but I prefer daggers. The daggers aren't he
EMMETT POVI sigh as I drop into my chair. Alpha feels drained from having to end Ryan's suffering. Lisa rubs my shoulders with steady hands."She named their pup Joel," I say, wanting to talk about something positive but finding nothing."That's a good name. You said he gets a family," she asks with a curious tone."Orphan pups are quite rare for our pack. The last rogue attack was when I was 18 and Moira was 15. But even from that attack, we only had a few orphans. There are about 11 mated couples that just absolutely adore kids. So we set up a system. We rotate the couples and place children when they need it. I prefer that then an orphanage. Now, if we ever get an abundance of orphans, of course, we will have to change the system," I explain while rolling a pen around on my desk, enjoying her massage.
R RATEDMOIRAPOVScott's hands constantly find me. He either touches my hands or my hair every time he passes me. He has been on the phone for hours, pacing back and forth. The construction on the second location seems to be very stressful. He has run his fingers through his hair multiple times.I finally stand up and lick his mark. His entire body goes as stiff as a board, and I almost giggle. That got his attention."I'm going to go make us lunch," I say, blushing at the new look he is giving me.He actually slaps my butt as I walk away, and this time I do giggle. It's a nice feeling to be wanted. I do feel a little guilty. Just yesterday, I had kissed Mike with a massive amount of passion and desire. I know for him those feelings are still raging, but for me, th
SCOTT POVI wake up early. Honey and cinnamon have filled my room. The smell is intoxicating, and it is pouring from the delicate flower in my arms. I feel strange. All my senses are heightened. The room looks clearer. I can hear Lisa in the kitchen, and Ican even smell her.I untangle myself from Moira slowly, kissing her forehead before my feet land on the floor. I pull on a pair of sweatpants and exit my room as quietly as possible. Once I am in the hall, I am hit with a masculine presence. I sniff the air and find a strong pine scent mixed with honeysuckle.My instincts immediately tell me who the scent belongs to, Emmett. Shit, I'm dead. I walk to the kitchen silently. Preparing for my death. Lisa is the only one I see, so I slowly relax."Morning Lis," I say curiously. Lis is rarely ever here in
