“What do you mean?” Beau looked confused. I had all eyes on me, and by Lenny’s slight nod, I could tell I was coming to the same conclusion as him.“If she was fully mated to her Alpha, she wouldn’t have been able to use you three and Boyd the way she was. She would have had no enjoyment in it.”“But she was mated.” Alexi looked at me like I was crazy. “We all saw them. They marked each other in front of the entire pack.”“A marking doesn’t form a full bond. Not when another has already been formed between wolves on a spiritual level, or if their emotions connecting a fated pair are strong enough.” I looked at Mick. “You need the spiritual bond and the connection to fully become mates. I think that’s how Chloe was able to take Rome and give him to you. Her spiritual bond with Rome was so strong, even though her emotional one with her ex was nonexistent.”“Is that why Chloe never had any problems sleeping with others?” Darren asked. “I didn’t think it was possible when she first asked
Chloe POV“Eat. Eat!” Nonna scolded me, pushing a spoon to my lips. It was soup with small meatballs and the smoothest, aromatic broth, but my stomach was full already. Too full. I couldn’t take another bite.“I really can’t,” I tried to say, but as I opened my mouth a little wider at the can’t, Nonna shoved the spoon in my mouth, and I was forced to chew as the meatball fell into my mouth. The broth was spilling from the sides of my lips, and she was quick to dab at it with a tea towel.Taylor was watching me from the end of the hospital bed, seemingly amused. She had been recruited to help Nonna carry in several containers of food from the kitchen and stayed to watch Nonna force-feed me everything she could over the last half hour.“I think she’s had enough,” Luna Gail said, flustering over her mother-in-law. "Maybe we should let Chloe rest now. The boys should be here soon."“Nonsense,” Nonna waved her away. “She hasn’t eaten in three days and all she's done is slept. She needs mo
Miles sighed, dropping to sit on the bed beside me. “Okay. We’ll talk about this later.” I grimaced, not agreeing, but not refusing out loud again. Not with their mom, grandma and others listening in. Mick helped me up from the bed, and Miles stood with his arms crossed, a deep scowl on his stoic, handsome face. Their mother had already brought me clothes to change into when I woke up in a hospital gown. Leggings and a comfortable cami. As I was sliding shoes on my feet, Nonna had Taylor at the table putting lids on all the food. “Um, what are you doing with all that, Nonna?” I asked warily. “Packing it for you to go.” I sent a panicked look towards Mick and Miles, then mind linked, “Get me out of here fast.” They exchanged a look, then Mick stooped down, lifting me into his arms and taking off out the door, shoving past Rodger quickly with Miles right behind. My arm bumped into Rodger’s as we went past, and this surge of energy traveled between us. It made me gasp, and in the sp
Rodger POV“Stubborn girl,” I muttered to myself. “Headstrong, reckless, stubborn, stubborn girl.”Why would she refuse to be safe-guarded so adamantly? Why does she not treasure herself the way she should?Her mother was so similar in so many ways. She had herself captured and killed by trying to handle things herself. If she had just woken me, I could have saved her. That horrible, haunting night, if she had just cried out once or told me she hadn't rejected her pack, I would have done whatever I could to save her. Our daughter is just as stubborn, unwilling to be selfish enough to cherish herself.Her mates may be unable to change her mind, and I doubt I can either, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stand by and do nothing.I marched back to my sister’s cottage, fuming the entire walk, muttering to myself about all the things frustrating me, including myself. I couldn’t do anything when that cursed wolf tried to take off with my daughter. My power didn’t touch him. It was unlike
Emily leaned over my chair again, clicking on another program on the computer. “Most of our employees' salaries are listed in these computer files, along with any requests for time off, bank information, and their evaluation reports conducted by their supervisors each year, but for the employees that have been working since the beginning of Alpha Dario’s reign, the bulk of their files are still in paper form. We didn’t switch to paperless until about fifteen years ago. You also have access to the other pack employee files through this system, like the hospital, school and warrior center. Even the restaurants and shops. Billy handles the warriors, but it will be your job to decide Christmas bonuses and stuff like that.”“Do I get a bonus?” Jamie asked from the couch in the corner of the room. “I am a warrior now, aren’t I?”He and the others, all of them from Broom StiXXX, have now joined the pack. Most of them have been working hard as new warriors, except Winnie and Cindy who are sti
“Well,” Emily stood up slowly, stretching her arms over her head. She didn't look tired at all. I think she was acting. “I’m going to go take a nap during lunch. I’ll see you guys later.” “Have a good rest,” I smirked, trying not to let it show I knew what she was really going off to do. “The rolling pin is in the drawer on the far right when you pass through the kitchen,” Jamie said, clearly not giving a fuck. Emily’s cheeks turned a brilliant red all the way down to her neck. “Shut up! I’m just taking a nap.” “Sure you are,” Jamie winked at her. “Baby power is good for after. We don’t want our Beta unable to sit the rest of the day.” She growled and stomped off. I noticed she was walking towards the kitchen and not the opposite direction to the main stairs though. “Beta Desmond might not be making it back to work after his nap,” I chuckled. “I’m jealous,” Jamie sighed. “Maybe I should go hunt down a certain feisty Nonna.” “I think you need to leave Nonna alone,” I glowered. “
“You smell so fucking good,” Mick growled against my skin, kicking open the bedroom door. “Are you wet for me, cara mia?”“So wet,” I moaned, gripping the hair on the back of his head. “Can you hear it?” I moved my hips, grinding my center against his firmness. You could hear the lewd sounds of my moist pussy.“I want to taste it,” he husked. “Fuck, Chloe. Mi ecciti.”“Shit,” I groaned, my body vibrating with dirty needs. I fucking love it when they whisper Italian words in my ear. He could have just told me he needed to poop, and I would still get so fucking hot.“Voglio fare l'amore con te,” he said in a raspy deep whisper while carrying me to the bed. “Ti farò urlare.”“Yes!” I cried, arching my back as he glided down my body. His hot breath left a trail of aching tingles down my center.He stared up at me with heat in his blue eyes, drawing me into his spell as he unfastened my jeans and began to pull them down my legs. He buried his nose between my folds, inhaling deeply as I wat
Miles POV“You back with us, Alpha?” Billy asked as I groaned, leaning over the table with my head in my hands.“Fuck off,” I growled.I was so fucking pent up. Mick offered to come lead this meeting and let me be the one to take Chloe to lunch, but I insisted on coming instead. I have so much regret, the bulk of it bulging painfully against the zipper of my jeans.“How rude,” Billy grumbled.I tried to ignore him. I’ve been unreasonably testy for the past few days. Chloe not accepting guards to watch over her was only a fraction of the reason for my frustration. The biggest part is the lack of finishing during sex. Not the lack of sex. We are still having it whenever we know she wants it, but neither one of us has finished inside of her since she woke up. Because I’ve become too much of a pussy to talk to her about it, since I didn’t want to start another argument like with the guard thing, I’ve had to resort to faking it most of the time.We can’t get her pregnant right now. Not on
This is now complete! Thanks for sticking around through it all. Lenny and Jamie will be getting their own book in the near future. If you felt unsatisfied with the way Jamie left, I did it for a reason! I’m excited to start his story soon. I have many other books, and the two others I have available on here are LOSING MY SIREN LUNA and BUILD YOU UP. If you enjoyed this, check those out. Thanks for reading!
Six years later….“Mama!” Emanuele came running up the hill with a small purple flame in his hands. “Look what Pop-pop taught me!”“Very pretty,” I grinned, tucking Sage’s hands under my arm so she wouldn’t reach out to touch her brother’s flame.“Me! Me!” Emilio came running with a sphere of water in his violet-glowing hands. “Pop-pop said mine was better!”“Did not!”Emanuele threw his little ball of fire at his brother, and Emilio deflected it with his water. The water burst from the impact, soaking Emilio’s shirt. He let out the cutest little growl before pouncing on Emanuele.“No fight!” my two-year-old daughter yelled, then turned her face up to me. “Mama, no fight!”“I know, baby,” I smiled, smoothing back one of her thick curls. “You two heard her. Stop fighting.”“He started it!” both boys yelled at the same time.“What’s going on here? Two seconds ago, you were both all smiles.”My dad came up the hill from the pond with a big basket of different herbs and magical instrument
“Look at them,” Gail gushed, running her finger down Emilio’s cheek. “They’re perfect.”Labor was fast, or at least that was what I was told. It felt like fucking forever to me.When my baby boys were placed on my chest, all the bad just faded away. All I felt was pride and unending love for the two little lives me and my mates created.“Emanuele is hungry,” Miles brought our other son over to me.Gail lifted Emilio from my chest before Miles placed Emanuele in my arms.“I have a question,” Jamie raised his hand. “How do you feed them with your tits pierced?”Dad backhanded him across the chest at the same time that Mick and Miles snarled at him.“I know, I know,” Jamie raised his hands. “Get out. I know.” He headed for the door.Dario was glaring after him too. Jamie was really pushing it today with all the Alpha men.“Poor Jamie,” I smirked, putting a blanket over my shoulder, so I could feed my hungry baby. “He needs my other babysitter to help keep him in line.”“I miss your other
Four Months Later….“Try this, nipote,” Nonna gingerly set a plate filled with pasta in front of me.I eyed it skeptically, second-guessing my craving for peanut butter and jelly spaghetti. Mushing a glob of jelly between the prongs of my fork, I gagged instantly.Running to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth, I heard Jamie mutter under his breath, “Not again.”“Poor bambino. The little ones don’t want this either, it seems.”This fucking sucks. Two days of only eating peanut butter and jelly with everything, and now these little parasites are taking that from me too.After emptying the contents of my stomach, I glared down at my belly while wiping my mouth on the back of my hand.“You two have outstayed your welcome.”I sat on the cold tile floor, shooting daggers at my monstrous-sized gut with thoughts of eviction in my mind when deep chuckling from the doorway sent my anger flaring again.“What are you doing, Cara Mia?”“None of your business,” I snapped.Mick laughed, then gr
Rodger POV“Deal with it, but that mother fucker’s life here ends.”Alpha Miles was firm on one thing. Cindy had to go. After what happened with my daughter, I needed to take responsibility for this one thing more than all my other mistakes I had made throughout her life.Cindy betrayed us all because of me. Because of some warped sense of possessiveness he had over me. I was the cause, the reason for his betrayal. I needed to be the one that dealt with this.No matter how much it would hurt me.Cindy was tied to the floor with a coarse fiber rope. Usually a rope wouldn’t be enough to hold one of them down, but Cindy had been given wolfsbane to cut him off from his wolf. He didn’t even fight the dose. He sat with his head down, looking completely defeated once I woke up in that clearing.He was never much of a fighter, even with his wolf, and never aggressive. Never had I seen any side of him showing any hint of malice. I still can not believe that the broken young man that showed up
Chloe POVThe pressure. The endless amounts of pressure pushing in from all around me, like something was about to explode. Like I was about to explode. That was the first thing that I noticed as I was drifting in the abyss.Then it hit me. The scents of spicy musk, bourbon and vanilla.“You’re going to crush her, you giant mutt,” an aged, nagging voice reached my ears.Driana.“They’ve gotten a lot clingier since they found out,” Jamie laughed.Even with my eyes closed as I came into consciousness, I could feel the energy in the room. There were many people here, but the suffocating feeling pressing in on me was undeniable. The fur tickling my face and the heavy, deep breaths I would recognize anywhere.“Are they ever going to shift back?” Driana said in exasperation. “She’s buried alive in fur. And those overgrown pups won’t let anyone get close.”“Their father was the same way when I was with child,” Luna Gail said in a far more upbeat tone. “Remember honey? Your wolf would come ou
Mick POV“He’s getting away!” I bellowed inside Rome.“Not this time,” Rome tossed a Fire Moon warrior off our back, then bolted for the retreating monster our mate’s ex had become.Rome was hurting, seeing the nightmare his former counterpart had become. I could feel the turmoil tearing him up, the compassion he felt for the bastard. I understood it. His love for our mate overshadowed everything, but there was a time that Rome loved his first human.His first human wasn’t even human anymore. The Cameron he once held such high hopes for was replaced by the creature we were hunting now.Miles started to follow, but Rodger, still clinging to my back, yelled at him to stop.“Tell your brother to keep searching for my daughter!” Rodger yelled into Rome’s ear.“Keep looking for Chloe. I can handle her ex.”Miles’s bloodthirsty wolf snarled, but turned to do as we said. “You better fucking put him down. This ends today.”“This ends today.” Rome chased the monster of his former human, not w
Chloe POVCortina and the vision around us swirled into a dizzying blur, and then disappeared as the tacky bedroom reappeared. Cortina groaned as her consciousness joined with mine again.Time was still stopped, Mr. Smith, or Asmodeus, whatever the fuck his name was, was kneeling in front of me, just like he was before Cortina broke free.I blinked, shaking my head slightly to clear the fog from the magic-induced dream-like state. As my powers settled inside of me, the world turned on its axis again and time resumed.“Breed with me, my goddess, and fulfill my destiny.”“What?” I leaned back, confused and disgusted by Mr. Smith’s request. Then I remembered the bullshit he was spewing before Cortina showed me the truth.“You saw it yourself,” Mr. Smith continued on, unaware of all I knew. “You saw how we were meant to be.”He leaned closer, brushing his fingers over my nape, dark eyes tightening at my mate marks. Cortina snarled loudly in my head at his close proximity. My skin felt col
Cindy POVI needed to get out of here. I’ve tried to stay out of sight since leaving that room, so I could think about what to do next, but time was getting more urgent.The scent masker was beginning to fade. This was the last place I wanted to be when the rogue stench started to pour out of me. Most of this pack already looked at me like I was a bug, but I was a useful bug before.Now, I was worthless. That snake bastard made it abundantly clear.My wolf was snarling, already feeling lost and alone. We were rogue before at Broom StiXXX, but not like this. There, we had a community. A family.Now I have nothing.I wanted to blame Chloe. Goddess knows I do, but I know I have no one to blame but myself right now. Why did I think I could trust these people? I can’t trust anyone.Not anymore.With a twisting gut, I covertly moved through the halls, trying to avoid the crowded room of the bunker as I moved towards the entrance. I was almost there when a deep, raspy voice startled at me fr
