~Lola’s Point of View~

I woke feeling like hundred degrees, like I was baking. I was nestled in a bunch of soft pillows and for a moment I completely forgot where I was, what bed I was in. I turned my head right into a giant face, snoring softly.

His huge arm was over my chest in a clamiing manner and I loved it. His big hand was holding my boob and I nearly laughed. He wasn’t about to let that go, even in his dreams.

We’d fallen asleep talking and I’d probably bored him to death with my childhood stories. The more we talked the more two things became glaringly obvious; I was definitely adopted and I was already in love with this man.

A man that couldn’t possibly be more different than me in every way. A man that a week ago I didn’t even know existed. A man that is still such an enigma to me in so many ways yet I really think I feel this whole mating bond thing, I feel it in my bones. If I was taken from him right this minute, even before I was marked, I knew without a doubt I’d

    ~Sawyer’s Point of View~ I reached around my sexy mate as we washed the dishes together. How the hell is a normal thing like this so hot? Oh yeah, we’re both naked and I can’t keep my damn hands off her. “Our first pup will be a little warrior girl. As a child I’ll teach her to hunt with a bow, she’ll be the most sought after female as an Alpha’s daughter,” I said, proud and excited. Remy was passed the fuck out, wimp. I’d need him strong for tomorrow to get us down south anyhow so I let him be. Lola practically dropped the plate in her hand and jerked her face back into mine. “We’ll name her after your sister. Or … if our first is a boy we’ll call him Corey,” she said, smiling. I scoffed, picturing Corinne’s nose turned up at me how she did when I teased her. Which was often. “She hated being called Corie. Hated it. Said she wasn’t a boy,” I said, taking the plate and drying it. “Well we’ll just see how you feel about it the first time you hold our baby,” she said, playfully.

    ~Sawyer’s Point of View~ I leaned forward in my chair, staring at the back of Jett’s head. It was a mixed bag of emotions for me, the last thing I wanted to do was rub my good fortune in his face. “The trip to the city will be good for us. It’s uhm, kind of a make or break situation for our relationship. We’ll be gone for about two weeks, maybe less. I have a few business meetings, about six of us are going. Rusty knows I’m Alpha but he doesn’t know shit about the rest of us. As far as everyone else is concerned outside of our pack there is only one. I like it that way,” he said, as I stood next to him and leaned over the railing. I didn’t speak, he was clearly in the middle of something. I wanted him to keep going. “Should something happen to me, we already have a great network in place. The Cove will go on. I’m not being melodramatic or anything, it's just a fact. I don’t trust these fucks for a second no matter who I take with me,” he said. Without thinking about it, I put my

  • The Alphas Of Black Cove: The Fight For Love   21 - Sneak Attack

    ~Lola’s Point of View~ How is this my life? I laid in a massive hammock, my beast of a mate underneath me as the sun set on the horizon. The mix of oranges, pinks and even purples were breathtaking and I was going to get to watch this every single freakin’ night. Jett had given us a more comprehensive house tour before I was basically tossed out so the men could talk. That lasted for THREE freaking hours. I’d get what I could out of Sawyer later on, especially if I was to have such a prominent role in the pack like they had explained. Tomorrow some of the locals were going to come by and show us around the area, I was excited and really … I hoped there were some females I could befriend. I missed my friends, I missed my mom. Just having all this new stuff happen, finding my soulmate … and not having a single person to tell about it was impossible. “Remy says he can talk to Eva now,” I heard, just in my ear. I’d felt her presence grow these last few hours but she wasn’t saying muc

  • The Alphas Of Black Cove: The Fight For Love   22 - Don't Help

    ~Lola’s Point of View~ A tear fell from my eye as I watched the forest burning, with nothing I could do to stop it. I’d watched as Remy and his men shredded several enemy wolves on the beach then ran off into the darkness. My only source of comfort was the woman to my side that I now knew as Luann. And the button down shirt she’d given me since I wasn’t thrilled to be sitting here totally nude in front of her fifteen year old. She could at least mind-link with others and while she told me I likely could with Sawyer as his mate I didn’t dare try. I couldn’t interrupt him, not now. It seemed like the fighting was pretty heavily concentrated back on the border, the Cove had successfully beaten them back and no more had tried to come down the beach. I was furious of course that this unbelievably special and amazing night was ruined but I could hardly do anything about it now. Shifting back was insanely painful, especially since Eva didn’t get much time on her own, couldn’t even run to

    *This is part two: Alice’s story* ~Four Days Ago~ ~Alice’s Point of View~ “You’re lucky as hell we got to you first. If the Cove freaks got ya, you fine females would be slaves,” I heard, making my skin crawl. “Eyes forward,” someone else shouted. I gulped and kept walking, trying to keep it together. We’d been walking on and off for nearly a day with no food or water. My feet and legs were cut, my wolf was too tired to properly help heal me. The silver cuffs on my wrists and ankles weren’t helping either. The Cove would make us a slaves huh? Worse than this? Cold wind whipped at my bare skin, making me wince and another female cried out loud. “Shh,” another said, trying to get her to shut up. You can’t show weakness. That much I knew, and right now I didn’t know a whole lot. About half a mile up I saw a gate, manned with at least four males. I gulped, thinking they were going to take us, claim us. This has to be our final destination. Venom. I’d much rather take my chance

    ~Alice’s Point of View~ *It’s not so bad, he fed us, clothed us. He’s not given us a reason to doubt him,* Maura said, as I stared at the ceiling. Rusty had left me with supper, and then disappeared for hours. I was hardly going to object though he had left a babysitter outside my door. Then some female, likely the one he’d been mounting brought me clean clothing, sheets and towels. She seemed like she wanted to rip my eyes out but was being forced to make nice. While I hated to admit it, he had been good to me … so far. But I couldn’t get over … something. Something I couldn’t put my finger on. He’d bathed me, and the water had been freezing cold, so his hands were a warm welcome. He’d touched me everywhere and made me bathe him. It tore something in my gut that I didn’t hate it. I couldn’t fully say I didn’t want his hands on me, I didn’t know any different. He was the first male I’d let touch me, and many had tried. Many lost their hands or other body parts for trying. I’d just

    ~Alice’s Point of View~ “Males are like whiny pups,” I scoffed as I used two knives to pry the bullet out of Rusty’s leg. *Be careful!! He’s precious,* Maura insisted. Sure. You keep right on believing that. “Fuck! Get me some booze,” he screamed. Outside was nothing but a sea of bodies, my mate and I were the only survivors of the attack. Surely his Alpha would not be pleased. “Got it,” I said, as the bullet finally appeared. Using a rag I grabbed it, tossing it on the floor behind me. Rusty groaned and whined, as I wiped my hands. “Have anything to stitch this up,” I asked. “I doubt it. Nobody’s ever dumb enough to fuck with us. Shouldn’t have been dumb enough to fuck with my mate, apparently. Where the hell did you learn to fight like that? Never seen a female do anything but scream like a bitch,” he said, still groaning. He’s damn lucky the bullet caught in the meaty part of his thigh, but it still should get stitched. “I’ve always done what was necessary to defend m

  • The Alphas Of Black Cove: The Fight For Love   26 - Rage

    ~Jett’s Point of View~ After receiving word my pack had been attacked, I was beyond on edge. I was nearly ready to tell this Rusty to fuck himself and go home to help my people. Hearing from Lola that things were okay enough gave me some reassurance, but not much. I had to get this shit done quickly. The trip would certainly be cut short. How could I look into the eyes of a male who was supposed to be here as a goodwill gesture … while his pack was invading mine? Honestly it had Alpha Digger written all over it, I wouldn’t be surprised if his Beta didn’t even know. I’d look like a fool out here cutting a deal with the devil while he was fucking me from behind. Little did they know I’d left two other Alphas in my absence. My men and I headed out to a small local sports bar to blow off some steam. I wasn’t doing so well in a small hotel room and a drink was always welcome. Though to be sitting and enjoying myself, making jokes while my people were suffering was hardly a good idea.

    ~Sawyer’s Point of View~ “That’s it, that’s it Jess, come on baby girl,” I said, cooing at my daughter. She looked at me with her bright green eyes and smiled. She put one chubby little foot in front of the other as she took her first steps … like she’s been waiting forever. Like she visualized it and had a plan. I held my arms out to her as she finally collapsed into me. “Ohh!!! Ohh god, I got it! I got it on video,” Lola screamed. My sexy mate was pregnant again, but she didn’t know it yet. I just picked up the scent yesterday. It was likely her wolf would figure it out today or tomorrow so I’d wait and let that happen. I was surprised it took this long to happen again but it was good we had some time between pups. It was damn hard for Lola to wrap her head around the fact that shifters have varying times for pregnancy. For wolf shifters it is usually 20-25 weeks. We had Jess at 21 and she was absolutely perfect. “Did I miss it,” I heard, and looked up to see Lola’s father. She

    ~Three Months Later~ ~Drake’s Point of View~ *That’s it baby! You got him,* Gage shouted at Helena through mind-link. Gage sat back on his hind legs and proudly stared at the beauty in the snow, who was devouring a large gopher who had given her quite a chase. Corinne was two and a half months pregnant and already growing quite tired from shifting, so this may likely be the last time she does it until after our twins are born. We’d had to start from scratch when her wolf came. It was as if Helena was a brand new wolf coming into her own, and we had to teach her everything. I couldn’t be happier to see her hunting skills were this good already. *That’s my girl,* Remy cooed, over mind-link, open to us both. I rolled my eyes. It was bad enough that Sawyer and I damn near came to blows over Lola, but now we were destined to fight over another female’s attention for all our days. Gage and I were desperate to be the ones to show Helena everything. To grow her abilities and be there for

    ~Corinne’s Point of View~ Despite Drake marking me, the full moon proved to be too much for his wolf. I caved and just told everyone to leave us be, leave us alone. But Sawyer refused. He saw right through me, and made them take Drake away. I had no clue what they did with him, but I wasn’t sure tonight would be any better. The pull of a full moon can last a couple of days at minimum. I didn’t sleep a wink, my body was crippled with spasms and pain that seemed not to stop. Why couldn’t I just sleep with him? Why hadn’t I just done it? *No,* I heard, making me pop out of bed. “Helena,” I said, barely in a whisper. *It needs to be special, not rushed,* she said. I fell back against the bed, my arms and legs splayed out in all directions. *Goddess I’ve missed you terribly. I’m so damn sorry. I’m so so sorry,* I said, tears streaming down my face. *I’m still so weak. But I think the next full moon, I’ll have it together. Go to mate now, the closeness to his wolf will help me,* sh

    ~Drake’s Point of View~ *Skin … creamy soft…* Gage purred. He demanded I touch her sandy blonde hair, it was damp and we wanted to run our fingers through it. I couldn’t possibly help myself despite knowing I had to tread carefully. Even touching Corinne before she was ready could be disastrous. I had no idea when the last time was that a male touched her, maybe the last time she had a pup but I just didn’t know. I’d already spent a lot of time speaking with the doctors about PTSD. It was hardly something I dared to ask her about, the female seemed to resent me and try to run away every chance she got. Gage liked at first, cat and mouse. But after a few days it just became depressing. I didn’t have the heart to just come out and tell her we were mates. Not to mention Sawyer told me to let it run its course. See if her wolf comes out just by being around me. Being around other strong wolves. If her wolf came, she would do wonders for calming Corinne, giving her reassurance. Judgin

    ~Corinne’s Point of View~ “Mama, I love your cuddles,” I heard, making me stir. I squeezed the warmth in my arms, it was my son Jakob. Oh, and Helena apparently. I really didn’t know what it was to sleep alone but it wasn’t as though I was able to give the kids all their own beds. I couldn’t even believe that I had slept, basically only because my body was THAT tired. That exhausted. I still couldn’t even believe it. Venom was no more. There would be no more cave, no more hole in the earth we called home for so long. But above all … no more males coming in the night and invading our bodies. In a weird way, I’d miss our little bunker. The only home my babies had known. We were now in a large cabin with tons of rooms. Tons of light and colors. Real furniture. A deep breath already told me someone was cooking and my stomach practically lurched me out of bed. I couldn’t believe how nice everyone was, maybe being the Alpha’s sister will have perks. Maybe they’re just actually n

    ~Drake’s Point of View~ *Fuck this is a long run, we need a drink,* Gage whined. We were exhausted but this was hardly the time to stop. He wasn’t wrong though. *There should be a few cabins coming up, we’ll stop there,* I promised him. I was getting mind-links from all over. Digger had attacked Belle and Lola, now he was on the loose. There were easily a hundred guardians already there on site but our lands were so damn big finding him wouldn’t be as easy as you’d think. They all believed he was heading toward the beach though, and everyone said Jett took Alice there. I knew he would take her to the ship, there’d be no chance in hell anyone could find them hidden away in the cove. It was a perfect hiding spot and likely how the ship ended up there in the first place. Then went to hide their treasure then couldn’t get back out. Everyone had theories. The first cabin we stopped at had a family in it, thankfully they had a bunch of chicken and rice left from dinner which Gage ate

    ~Lola’s Point of View~ Should have never agreed to go with Belle, all these damn kids in such a small space! But seeing Alice and Jett make eyes at each other constantly made me just feel awkward. I needed a distraction and I wasn’t getting it watching those two practically fucking with their eyes. It took some serious effort but Duncan was actually a massive help getting all the babies to bed. We’d had to make beds out of dresser drawers for the tiny ones, there was so little space. Belle and I were going to be sharing a cot as it was. I didn’t think Sawyer would want me snuggling up to a male. We’d gotten a mind-link earlier that our guardians had defeated Venom and everyone was on their way back. But it could be dawn before they’d be back. I’d gotten some weird feelings and sensations through my mate bond for the last couple of hours and I didn’t know what to make of it all. Sawyer was sad, but yet happy and relieved. I hated waiting to find out why but he was okay and that’s al

    ~Alice’s Point of View~ “Ohh right there yeah, Ohh Jett, you’re so deep, right in the middle ohh you know my spot,” I moaned. “It’s only the beginning, good thing you have four strong hands to take care of you,” Jett said, licking his lips. Damn, why does he have to be so impossibly good looking? Even just sitting there it’s nearly impossible not to shove him down and-- *There’s noise outside,* Maura shouted. Jett’s wolf must have sensed it at the same moment because he dropped my foot and leapt to the window. There were two guardians on patrol outside the house and I immediately realized that wasn’t enough. An awful kind of dread fell over me, and Maura was begging to shift. We had planned to stay holed up in Dane’s old cabin while everyone was gone, but I was too curious to see the infamous beach house and didn’t think it should sit empty. So we passed the cabin on to Belle and her pups, with Duncan going along. It would be tight for all but it was far enough in the south. T

    ~Corinne’s Point of View~ “Sa… Sawyer?” The word left my mouth, my heart raced but my mind… My mind tried to convince me I was hallucinating. Vivian took my hand, knowing his name. As many times as I’d told stories of how we grew up. How I’d had to lose everything to the same male who now held me captive. The babies were all scared and restless, having been woken twice in the night now. But this gruff voice in the dark, it was like a beacon of light and hope … more than I’d ever felt. The Goddess was shining her light on me, in my darkest hour. I handed my pup to Viv and took a step forward. She put her free hand on the small of my back as I began to shake uncontrollably. The last time I’d seen my brother’s face he was a contorted mess of anger, rage and half wolf. It was torture to have that as the last memory of my best friend. “Corrie! I’m here, I’m here. I’m real honey,” I heard. His voice was nothing like I remembered, it was so rough and he sounded so pained. Honey … that
