Unknown POVMy hand involuntarily flew to my mouth when I heard what was just said. What our dear little tramp of a Luna said to the others.“Are you saying you purified him of dark magic?”The question from Rodger hung in the air, and I wished I could risk looking in the room to see her definitive answer.But she already said she had burned the snake away, whatever that means. I assume it meant she burned away his magic. Since a snake was the symbol of his that found me. A snake seems to be his signature for his magic. If that isn’t a confession to a deeper source of magic than what she claimed to have before, I don’t know what is.I need to tell him. This was the sort of thing he wanted to know.I wish I could wait around and hear the rest of their exchange, but my nosiness wasn’t the priority right now. I needed to make a call. I’m sure this new ability will change things for what he has planned next.~Chloe POVI was feeling spent, but not from exertion from using too much magic.
Laura POV “He’s late,” I paced back and forth, gnawing on my breaking acrylic overlays. “We need to get him ourselves. He’s not coming.” “We can’t,” Jasper said firmly, his eyes roaming the treeline, searching for any sign of movement. “You heard what he said. If we cross the border, none of us will make it back.” Mr. Smith did mention something about the border of the pack being protected, or enchanted. Something stupid that I thought irrelevant at the time. I didn’t think there was a possibility of Boyd not coming. Again, I tried to mind link him, but was met with static. I could faintly feel the bond, but I hadn’t been able to mind link him for a few hours. Not since that happened. Hours ago, right as I was trying to mind link him for the dozenth time, I felt this searing pain in the bite mark on my neck. The burning was coursing through my mark. Not Jasper’s mark, but Boyd’s. I tried telling Jasper that something was wrong, but Mr. Smith assured him all was fine and to conti
Rodger POV I stood pacing outside of the pack house, waiting for Chloe’s return. She wouldn’t listen to anyone, even her mates, as they all urged her to stay home. No one except Estel was for her going on this mission, but she stood her ground until the end. I’m sure Estel’s suggestion that just she and Chloe take care of the problem was enough of a threat to keep Mick and Miles from pressing their point further. Chloe had proven twice now that she was capable of protecting herself. I’m sure she could put her foot down in the most uncomfortable places if she wanted. When I heard the rumbling of engines, I stopped my pacing and turned towards the forest. Several four-wheelers emerged from the overgrowth, followed by the warriors in wolf form. In the center, there were the two Alphas, one with my daughter on his back. The four-wheelers were the first to reach the pack house. One had a wagon-like trailer attached to its back. Inside was a giant man, with red hair and his body twiste
Estel POV “He’s touching us! He’s touching us again!” Ada was bouncing on her paws, feeling the sparks through me. “Don’t get too excited yet,” I kept warning her. Everything happened so quickly after he tried attacking us, we haven’t had time to talk to him. He had to relay everything that had been happening because of his ex-mate to Mick and Miles, and then we had to plan our attack. We haven’t had a moment to discuss anything or clear the air. “Don’t be a sour puss. Look at the way he’s staring at you.” Butterflies fluttered inside my stomach. My wolf was right about Boyd’s stare. I could feel his eyes on me. His hands and his eyes haven’t left me much since he came to in the Alphas' and Luna's room. His wolf was all over Ada, which had turned her completely. She’s forgotten all about the pain we’ve felt the last several days being constantly rejected by him. He’s not rejecting me now. That’s for sure. I’m still not sure that I’m ready to just give in to the bond like Ada is
“I think there’s a big misunderstanding,” he whispered softly, “because not once, not ever, did I think you were disgusting. Not once did I not think you weren’t the prettiest woman I had ever seen in my life.” “Bull shit.” “It’s true. Even when the darkness inside me was violently fighting it, I was attracted to you from the second I opened my eyes in that basement. You are the most… the most stunning woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.” He had to be lying. “I’m the complete opposite of Chloe and your ex.” A sad smile moved on his face. “That’s what makes you even more beautiful to me.” “SEE!” Ada huffed with a haughty air in my mind. My heart wanted him. My wolf did too. Every fiber of my being wanted this man, but my mind just wasn’t there yet. There was so much pain from before. “You said either,” I whispered numbly. “You said you didn’t want me either.” “No. I said you didn’t want me either,” he said slowly, like he was talking to a two-year-old. “I have never been the first ch
“I heard,” he started in a rough voice, then stopped to clear his throat, “I heard that you already know what it is I want to tell you.” I scoffed lightly, staring at my hands folded in my lap. “Want to tell me? Or what you are forced to tell me now that the cat is out of the bag?” “Chloe,” he said softly, the stress pressing in his voice. “That’s not it at all.” “Then explain,” I lifted my chin, trying to maintain my pride. “You didn’t want a porn star as a daughter?" "Chloe!" "No, that can’t be it. You could have said something the day I showed up at Broom StiXXX. You’ve known since then, right?” His stiff silence and the set in his jaw as he stared at me through his lashes, lashes and eyes that were so similar to mine was all the answer I needed. “You knew,” I whispered, almost in disbelief. Some part of me was still holding out hope that he might not have known right away. That maybe he figured it out over the year we lived under the same roof. Maybe it wasn’t until my magi
Boyd POV If I could describe this moment right now, it would be pure bliss. I felt like every hardship, every trial, every fucked up thing I have had to experience in my life was paying off right now. I have a mate. I have a gorgeous mate, with a feisty streak as red-hot as her beautiful hair. “You’re going to stare a hole in my head,” she laughed with a hoarse voice, her throat raw from screaming out during our mating. My mate is a screamer. A screamer. A growler. A pull my fucking hair and cuss me the fuck out-er. “You’re perfect,” I leaned over her, burying my face into her nape to inhale her warm, comforting scent. She smelled like warm sweet bread, like the Hawaiian rolls everyone eats on Thanksgiving. That was always my favorite fucking scent in the entire damn world. It has the nostalgia of filling meals eaten with all those I love and care about. It came with the feeling of being with family, which had always been my warrior brothers. Now I’m finding that warmth with
“So fucking much.” “I like to suck,” she declared in a raspy whisper. My eyes grew heavy watching her deeply suck my fingers in her mouth again, then releasing them with a satisfying pop. “I like to feel the pressure on the roof of my mouth. When something big and hard starts rubbing against it, it makes my pussy so wet.” “Yeah,” I curled my fingers inside her mouth, rubbing the roof of it before pulling her face closer to mine. “Show me.” She giggled darkly, then pushed my chest, so I laid flat on the bed. I watched as she crawled over me, working her way down my body, her movements smooth and lithe like a cat. When she got to my prized member, her eyes grew dark as she appraised my firmness. She licked her lush lips, pumping her hand up and down me a few times before sinking her mouth over my dick. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, the tingling pull in my groin sending shivering bursts of pleasure all through my body. “Yes!” I reached down to grab her hair from her face,
