Zeke POV
"So, how was it?" I asked, knowing my sister May had been out with a 'friend' last night. I had meant to call her first thing, but with Sky's arrival, I had gotten a little sidestepped.
"It doesn't matter now." She muttered. However, I got the distinct feeling it did. She had agreed to go on a date with a guy, and I knew last night was the big night despite her trying to hide it from me; I had heard about it through the grapevine.
"You mean, the man you pay to watch her?" Payne grunted.
"Yes." I replied unbothered. I didn't like that she had hit 'that age' when dating was not just socially acceptable... but expected. She was all the family I had, and I wanted to wrap her up in cotton wool, mainly to save me from having to break pack members' legs for mistreating her.
"Z." She moaned, letting me know I was not paying attention.
"Sorry." I chuckled and returned to doing my big brother duties of listening to her recount her disastrous date. And like every big brother who had to listen to how his sister was mistreated, my fury grew with each word.
"He spent the entire night talking about you, Z," May expressed, her voice tinged with frustration. "It was like he didn't care about me at all. He just wanted to know everything about you and your job. He didn't even ask me anything personal. It was like I was just a stepping stone to get to you."
"Who was it?"
"Does it matter," she groaned. "I am going to start dating a tinder like the humans or some shit."
"Language." I cautioned. She may be old enough to swear, but she would always be my baby sister, and I didn't need or want to hear that foul language tainting her lips.
"UGH!" she giggled dismissively. "My point is. He was using me. I am so fed up of being your baby sister." I clenched my jaw, feeling the familiar protective anger rise.
"That's unbelievable. Sweetpea, you're amazing. Any guy would be lucky to have you. The fact that this jerk used you like that makes my blood boil." I heard her sigh and knew she was relaxing just a little.
"I know, Z. But it still hurt. I thought he liked me for me, but he was just trying to get closer to you."
"Give me his name," I instructed, my voice stronger than before. "I'll make sure he never bothers you again."
"No, Z. I know you. You'll cause trouble. I can handle it." She, like me, was
determined to make her own way, and now, I had asked, she would only dig her heels in. May was always resolved to handle her own shit. But it didn't mean I couldn't try."Please, I love you. You're all I have. Tell me," I begged, needing to protect her. As I walked past the Alpha's floor where Sky was staying, her scent penetrated me completely. It was a mix of wildflowers and rain, something I could never forget.
"Are you still there?" May sighed, bringing me back to reality.
"Sorry, Sweetpea, I'm here. You have my attention," I tried to refocus, but Sky's door flew open, almost knocking me off my feet.
"Mate." Payne screamed instantly as she stood there, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Who are you talking to?" she demanded, jealousy evident in her tone. She made a grab for the phone, and for a moment, I considered explaining it was just my sister. But seeing her like this, seeing that she cared, made me hesitate. Instead, I let her jealousy fuel my own amusement. A dick move, but if it thawed that cold heart of hers, did it matter?
"Easy there," I said, dodging her hand. "You're truly curious, aren't you?" sucking in a sharp breath as the very unique and addictive scent of Sky's arousal wafted from her room. I felt Payne fight for control of my body. Never had he wanted anything as badly as he did Sky right now. And as much as I wanted her to, I knew better than forcing her hand and letting Payne and Evie take over. She would hate me more than she did now, and I would stand no chance of winning her back.
"Z, I asked you a question." she snapped furiously. Sucking in another long breath, I held her gaze as her lips pursed into an adorable pout. Fuck she was beautiful when she was angry.
"Don't play games with me, Zeke," she snapped, her voice sharp. "Who is it?" I knew she was furious as she never called me anything but Z; I was always Z to her. Unless she was mad... and given the way her cheeks were puffed, her voice tight, she was indeed pissed.
"Just a friend," I replied, keeping my tone light with difficulty as her unique scent filled the hallways and invaded my senses.
"What was she doing?" Payne demanded to know why she smelt of arousal.
"I can guess." I announce with a smirk. She made a grab the phone again, her fingers brushing mine. The contact sent a jolt through me, and I couldn't help but feel the heat rising between us. Unable to hold back, I grabbed at her hand, pausing to look at it. My lips twisted with delight seeing her fingers still coated in what could only be her sweet honey.
"MATE!" Payne howled in my mind, demanding that I claim her. I might not be able to claim her, but I could make a move and force her to react. Lifting her fingers to my lips, I took a hard sniff of that deliciousness.
"Well, what do we have to hear?" I asked, holding her hand steady despite her fighting my grip. Without another word, I lifted her sleek digits to my lips and sucked them clean. My eyes locked on hers, mischievous intent swirling in my hues.
"You still taste so sweet, little demon," I mused, dropping her hand. Now, why don't you tell me who you think it is?" I challenged her, wanting to see just how much she cared. Her eyes narrowed, and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I don't care who it is," she fibbed, her voice trembling slightly, her breathing still hard from the shock of my move. "I just don't want you causing trouble." she lied.
"Trouble? Me?" I teased, stepping closer. "Why would I do that?"
"Because that's what you do," she shot back, not backing down. "You cause trouble." I smirked slightly, hearing the tremble in her voice. My eyes narrowed on hers, showing the pure white hues of Evie.
"Well, hello there, beautiful." I acknowledged her wolf like I always had. I leaned in, the scent of her arousal driving me wild. "And perhaps I am, but only for you, Sky," I whispered, my breath hot against her ear. "Only for you." She shivered, and for a moment, I thought she might melt into my arms. But then she pulled back, her walls going up again.
"Don't flatter yourself," she declared coldly. "I don't care who you talk to."
"Sure you don't," I replied in jest, watching her closely.
"Whatever. Just stay out of my way, Zeke." She rolled her eyes, clearly not convinced. With that, she turned and walked back into her room, slamming the door behind her. I sighed, turning my attention back to May on the phone.
"Sorry about that, Sweetpee. Where were we?"
"Sounds like you've got your hands full." May chuckled.
"Yeah," I admitted, my mind still on Sky. "You have no idea."
SKY POVLeaning back against the door, I took a few deep breaths to calm my racing heart. Bringing my hand up, I looked at it; the tingles from where Zeke had touched me were slowly subsiding. I had forgotten how powerful those sensations were, how they shot through me like electricity. Slowly, I relaxed, hearing him walk down the corridor, still on the phone to his mystery girl. A girl I claimed not to care about."You know you have super hearing, right? If you had just piped down, I could have given you the answers without the theatrics." Evie, my wolf, funnelled into my mind."And where's the fun in that?" I retorted with a snort that was anything but dainty, which earned me a sigh from Evie. "You still have feelings for him," she stated matter-of-factly. "Feelings? Like indigestion?" I shot back, trying to deflect with humour. Evie wasn't having any of it. "More like the heartache you pretend doesn't rip through you every time you hear his name."I pressed my lips tightly toget
SKY POVA dull throb started to knot between my legs as I waited for my conditioner to wash out. I tried rolling my neck back and forth, hoping the water would ease my frustrations-."Like that will help!" Evie snorted somewhat aggressively. "There is only one thing that will relieve the persistent hunger growing inside you," she added with a scoff."Fuck it." I whined as I slowly slid one hand down my burning flesh. "Is the shower really this hot?" I moaned, checking it quickly, only to hear Evie chuckle like a clown. "It's you." She laughed as my hands continued their trail down my suddenly scorching body and between my legs to the source of my irritation. Reluctantly deciding to finish what I had started, and Z found so amusing. I touched my bare pussy for just a moment, relishing the thrill of Z potentially knocking on the door again and catching me in the act. "Maybe he will join us!" Evie called out to me from the back of my mind. Although, her voice was barely audible over th
SKY POV "Well..." Evie probed as I chewed my lip, letting my words and fears take up more room in my brain than they should right now. Now, I was about to get off, and if Z was the image that was getting the job done, I seriously needed to focus on the job at hand and switch my overthinking brain off. "Good girl." Evie praised sarcastically as I let my right hand wander up and down my stomach, touching lightly at my boobs in the process. "Fuck you!" I laughed, a smirk playing on my lips as the heart began to smoulder between my thighs again. Squeezing firmly on my right breast, I let out a little cry as I gripped the nipples between my forefingers and thumbs and began tweaking my rock-hard nipple. "I seriously do have a great rack." I laughed as I looked down at the girls; they were large and perky and fell just in the right place. I had a tattoo; it was some sort of mandala tattoo that sat perfectly between my breasts. A chain followed the curve under my boobs with little gems an
Neo POV Sitting in the dim light of my room, the only glow came from my laptop screen, flickering images of discipline and control from a site not known to the softer souls of our world. "Reform and Remold," the website promised, a place for werewolf alphas to send their wayward sisters, daughters, and female pack members to learn obedience, far from the forgiving eyes of their families. The camp, masked as a reformatory institute, was nothing short of a prison, its programs designed not to nurture but to break.As I scrolled through the testimonials, a twisted part of me lit up with a perverse satisfaction. The descriptions of the camp's regimen detailed a tortuous journey through rigorous physical trials that pushed the inhabitants to their limits, breaking them down to rebuild them as submissive members of their packs. Mentally, the training was even harsher, with techniques that bordered on psychological warfare, stripping them of any defiance or personality traits deemed undesir
Sky POV"He isn't going to thank you for this." Evie warned as I sat on my bed and listened to Neo's voice filtering through the door. I knew it was him without even needing to see his face or hear his voice—the desperation was like a signature scent. "He is such an insufferable dick, though." I muttered weakly. I couldn't help but feel a wave of disdain wash over me. "Do you not think he is trying?" Evie questioned as he reminded me of the time, again. "Nope, I don't trust him, not with his polished Mr. Nice Guy act." I explained because this crap he was pulling barely concealed the machinations underneath."I hope you're wrong." Evie expressed, but I could tell from her tone that she agreed with me. To make him think I couldn't hear him, I turned on the hairdryer, the loud whirring sound filling the room. I wrapped myself in a towel, my hair blown out in loose waves around my shoulders. Checking my phone, I smiled, seeing I had two minutes to get dressed and go down the stairs.
SKY POV "I said I don't want to talk about it, Neo!" I sighed, pulling my legs up under me as I watched the world whizz by through the passenger side window. "I didn't wanna drive three hours to get your ass out of trouble again, but shit here I am, sis! So how about you drop the attitude and start telling me what the fuck is going on?" Neo scoffed, his eyes briefly leaving the road to check my reaction. "Damn, big brother, how long has dad been dead, three months? And already you are sounding... just. like. him." I muttered, squeezing my legs tighter to me and rubbing my sore wrists. "Sky, look..." "No, you look, Neo, my boyfriend just had me arrested on some bullshit charges that meant I spent hours in that shit hole, being strip searched and questioned, only for the bastard to drop the charges and demand I was released. So how about you let me sulk a little while longer." I snapped moodily."We are wolves, Sky; we see each other naked all the time." His only reply and it inf
SKY POVLuckily, the remainder of the three-hour car ride had been painless. Neo had remained silent, no doubt sulking over the fact I wasn't jumping for joy at being dragged back to the pack, and I had imagined hundreds of ways I could kill my big brother. Things had always been like this between us. I was the annoying little sister he never wanted and certainly didn't ask for; he was my big brother. Who, until I left, I had idolised and wanted to spend every minute with. My father and I were close growing up, and I did not doubt that if I had gone to him and told him about Z being my mate and Neo's offer, he would have kicked Neo's ass and demanded we be allowed to find our way. But honestly, the second Z paused even for a second to contemplate my brother's offer... I was done. I knew my worth! At least I did back then!"I truly do just want what is best for you Sky!" Neo relented as we pulled up to the packhouse. Scoffing, I turned to look at him through strained eyes and nodded
ZEKE POVI stood on the porch watching Sky and Neo walk towards the packhouse. She was just as sexy and spirited as I remembered, although her beautiful brown hair was now a stunning shade of soft pink. Seeing her again was like a punch to the gut. My wolf, Payne, was instantly in awe of her, demanding I claim her and forget the past. But I knew Sky well enough to know she wasn't the sort of girl to take demands well. I felt my lips twitch at the corners as they walked; my eyes couldn't help but follow the sway of her hips and the curve of her ass. She was going to be the firecracker the packhouse needed, that was for sure."Mine!" Payne growled low. "I am not so sure about that, bud." I sighed, my eyes still glued to her ass."Mine." Payne, a wolf with a limited vocabulary, insisted again with a growl; this time, however, I felt the growl rip from my throat, the sound catching the attention of Sky and Neo, who turned to face me, neither looking impressed."Down, boy." Sky taunted,
