Yesterday, Lorcan was a completely different person all over again. He’d been avoiding me all day, and he wouldn’t answer our mind-link. I thought perhaps he was angry with me because I’d been picking herbs to make medicines. Instead of taking that anger out on me, he ignored me, which is just fucking childish!
Lorcan isn’t too keen on me picking herbs in the forest. He did tell me that I couldn’t because there could be dangers out there that I’m unaware of. I understand that, but he won’t let me out, and I can’t hang out with Harper and Katy.
All I wanted was a little freedom; how can he believe that’s wrong?
However, Lorcan yelled and called me names, names that hurt like hell. I argued the point with him, and I yelled back that he had no right to treat me like the enemy. I could see him gritting his teeth, a
“You okay there?”“Huh?”Harper smiles at me with a raised eyebrow.“Sorry,” I mumble with a smile. “I was miles away.”“I couldn’t tell,” I roll my eyes at her sarcasm, but she winks at me, making me laugh. “Seriously, what’s up?”I like Harper; she and Katy have become my friends since we started training together. I had my doubts at first, but I see them as my best friends now.Sure, everyone in the pack is friendly now, but these two are my best friends. It makes me miss my friends back home, but I’m glad that I have the two of them.I drop down on the bench, wiping the sweat from my brow with the towel Harper handed me. Lorcan didn’t go th
I jump out of my seat and rush towards Mason. Emily and Mike are hot on his tail, and if they catch him, they’ll kill him.Lorcan is going to flip his shit!“Stand down!” I yell while crashing into Mason. His arms wrap around me protectively as he snarls at Emily and Mike.The feeling of Mason’s arm around me is all too familiar. It’s like curling up in a warm blanket on a winters day.Goddess, I have missed him.“Get away from our Luna!” Harper yells from behind me.“All of you back off!” I yell. “He’s my friend.”I notice Harper share a look with Emily and Mike, but all three take a step back.I see a smirk creep across Emily’s
I struggle to keep up with Lorcan’s strides; I’m practically running.He opens the door to our bedroom and pushes me inside. I fall on my arse and scramble away from him.I want to fight back, but Lorcan is so much stronger and faster than I am. If he were to beat me for what Mason did, then I’ll take it and move on. But I hope that Lorcan doesn’t resort to that when we’ve been doing so well of late.I don’t want Lorcan to fall back into old habits. But he looks so angry that I’m terrified he’s about to rip me apart. He feels betrayed that I let Mason touch me, even if it was just a hug. No wolf wants to smell another man on their mate; each one will lose their shit.My stomach is turning over horribly because I thought we’d moved past all of this.
I cup Lorcan’s cheek again and rest my forehead against his.“No,” I tell him honestly. “I wouldn’t have left with Mason.”I lift and look Lorcan in the eye.I want to be honest with my mate; I need him to know that I won’t lie to him.“Since Claire attacked me, even though some days you’re a moody arse,” He raises his eyebrow, and I giggle. “You have done everything in your power to show me that you care about me.“You’ve made me laugh when I thought there was nothing to laugh about. You pick me up when I’m feeling down, and I smile whenever you’re near me. You spend time with me, and you listen to me. Hell, you’ve made me so happy these past few weeks.“We make love,
Gianna sobs in my arms and I can do nothing but hold her while she cries.I wasn’t expecting Gianna to tell me that she didn’t want me to reject her. Over the past few weeks, we’ve become close. Our relationship has solidified and become something even I didn’t expect. I’ve learned to control my temper around Gianna by walking away. However, ignoring her hurts her deeply, and I hate that. But I have to do something so that I don’t take my anger out on my mate.I’ve even taken an interest in her hobbies, watched films with her, and even baked bloody cookies because she enjoys it.I’ve made love to her, held her while she sleeps, and woken up to her, smiling at me. Goddess, that smile warms my cold heart.We’ve come to an understanding, and our relationship has been perfect. Probab
I lift her into my arms and lay her down on the bed. “I want you so bad,” I mumble around kisses to Gianna’s neck.“But I’m all wet.”I chuckle and look into her eyes. “You’re always wet for me.”Gianna bites her lower lip, and Goddess knows what that does to me.She places her hand on my cheek and smiles. “Then take me, Lorcan.”I don’t give her time to change her mind; my mouth presses against hers in a heated kiss. Gianna groans and rips the towel from my waist.I have to have her now; I’m so hard I could pound nails!I tear the towel off her sexy body, and my eyes drink in how perfect she is.I’ve fucked Gianna many time
“Speak,” I tell Katy as she sits beside Mason in front of my desk.After Gianna woke from her nap, in which I watched as I held her, we showered and dressed. I have some business to attend to; I’d mind-linked Katy and told her to meet me in my office with Mason. We have things to discuss. I need to know what they intend to do now that they’re mates.Ideally, I want them off my territory. I know Gianna sees Katy as a friend, and I won’t stop them from being such. However, I cannot have Mason joining the pack. It would never work; he’s touched my mate, no matter if that was before I came along.I know that I have nothing to worry about now that he’s found his mate. He’d never touch Gianna against her will, and I know my mate would never betray me. But I don’t want him here for any reason.
I woke up this morning wrapped in Lorcan’s arms, and there was no place I would rather be.It’s a strange feeling, wanting to be with him the way I do, especially when I tried so hard to get away from him. But the past week has been fantastic. Not once has Lorcan raised his voice to me, nor has he ignored me. He’s so considerate of my feelings, and each time he speaks to me, it’s with love and respect.We haven’t said those three words to each other yet, but I feel them each time he kisses me. Something changed the day Mason came to Silver Paw, and that something was Lorcan. Every night I fall asleep in his arms and wake up in the morning the same way.Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night to Lorcan, stroking the skin on my back. His eyes are always closed, well, until he senses me watching him. Then he smiles and cracks ope
“You know why you’re all here, don’t you?”“Yes, Daddy.” Eight out of nine of my children answer.“Why are you here?”Sienna is the one to reply. As always, the rest have appointed their older sister spokesperson.“Because Angel went crying to Mummy.”“I beg your pardon?!” I yell loud enough for all eight to whimper. “How dare you, Sienna?”“I’m sorry, Daddy.” She sighs.“Angel did not go crying to anyone. Your mother figured out what was wrong! I must say that I am very disappointed in all of you.”Each child hangs their head in shame.“Angel is three years
“It’s Daddy and me. I wanted to give it Daddy for his wall like the others.”I smile while trying not to cry.Each one of our older children has at some point drawn a picture of themselves with Lorcan. For each drawing, Lorcan framed and hung it on the wall in his office. Angel wanted to do the same, and I have to wonder why she didn’t give it to him.“Why didn’t you give this to Daddy?”“Dean said Daddy don’t want drawing from stupid Omega like me. I just want my picture on the wall.” She sniffs back her emotions. “Why Daddy don’t love me?”Holy fuck, I can’t breathe!“Oh, baby girl, your daddy loves you so much.” My heart shatters.I lift my
Eight Years Later“Hey, baby girl.” I smile while taking a seat next to my three-year-old daughter.Angelica, or Angel as we call her, is the seventh of my nine children. Lorcan and I are expecting our tenth in three weeks.After Sienna was born, we were blessed with twins, Dean and Damon, born ten months after Sienna. Then came Trystan, Aaron, and Allen, all born within three years of each other. Angelica, and lastly, our second set of twins, Corey and Caden, are now eighteen months of age.Baby Alessia will be with us real soon, and she is our last. When I said this to my mate, he laughed, but he finally realised that I was serious. Ten children in eight years are enough for anyone.Lorcan and I have the most children in the family. Lilly and Leande
I cup Lorcan’s cheek, drawing his eyes from a burning Nancy and to me. He blinks, clearly shocked by what he just witnessed me do.The thing is, I don’t even feel slightly guilty for setting that bitch on fire. Sure, she was alive when I did it, but it was no more than she deserved.I meant what I said to the pack; no one will ever get away with hurting my mate again. It drove me crazy the past couple of days, thinking about that cunt and what she almost did to Lorcan. I couldn’t bear it one more second; that’s why I had this whole thing set up. I wanted to make an example of Nancy in front of the pack. I hadn’t a clue at first that Anja had taken it upon herself to draw Victor out.When Anja came to me an hour ago and told me that she’d found Victor, I was shocked. Of course, I asked Anja how in the hell she managed to do what
“Are you sure? Like, one hundred per cent? No mistakes?”Luther chuckles while clasping my shoulder.“I’m positive, Lorcan. Though I’m not happy that Mum did what she did, no one is, to be honest. But Mum would do anything for us, and for you, she brought Victor in. It’s the truth, I promise you.”I nod my head, thoughts rushing through my brain at high speed.My mother took it upon herself to find Victor, incapacitate him, and kill his followers.How the fuck did she manage that in the two days I took off to be with Gianna and Sienna?I sent warriors to search for Victor, told them not to return until they found him. Once they had, they were to bring him to me, dead or alive. Of course, I would rather have him alive, but I knew
I knock on Harper's door with the back of my hand and wait for an answer. Yet none comes, making me wonder if Harper is really in there.This can't go on. Whatever Harper is thinking, she's wrong because none of what happened was her fault. I know Harper well enough to know that she's in some way blaming herself for my abduction.I sigh when I still get no answer, but I won’t give up. If Harper is in there, I’ll find out; that’s why I twist the doorknob. Luckily, the door isn’t locked, so I walk inside and close the door behind me.Harper is sitting in a white rocking chair next to her window. She’s holding her baby son, who is wide awake, looking right at his mummy. Harper hums to Cyro while stroking the back of his head. Cyro is beautiful with soulful brown eyes and fixated on his mother.“You a
I blow out a nervous breath as I stand outside Harper's room. I shouldn't be anxious to see my best friend, but I am. I haven't seen Harper since I returned two days ago.Okay, it's partially my fault; after falling asleep with Lorcan that first night, we decided to spend the following day as a family.Lorcan, Sienna and I spent the day getting to know one another. There were no interruptions on Lorcan's orders, and everyone listened.The three of us spent the whole day together, and I love watching Lorcan with Sienna. The way my mate interacted with our daughter was something to behold.After we got ready for dinner last night, there was a moment that stopped my heart. I walked out of the bathroom after fixing myself in there. I only did so as not to choke Sienna with deodorant and perfume. I
“Where is this, Wendy now?” Lorcan asks once my story comes to an end.I rush to sit up in front of my mate.“Lorcan, please. I know that Wendy helped Victor take me, but she didn’t have a choice; her son’s life was on the line. Just imagine what you would do if someone had Sienna. You and I both know you would have done the same in Wendy’s position.“Wendy never hurt me, Lorcan, and she helped bring out little miracle into the world. Not only that, but she brought Sienna and me home just in time for Sienna to save you. If Wendy hadn’t, we wouldn’t be together like this. Please don’t hurt Wendy. Please, Lorcan.”Lorcan tips his head to the side, regarding me closely. My eyes are darting all over the place!Lorcan lifts his head with a s
After Lorcan and I stopped crying, we returned to our room and got dressed in PJ’s. Now we’re on the bed, side by side with our backs against the headboard.Lorcan checked on Sienna, and I thought he’d be bringing her back to our room. But he returned without our little girl, saying she was fast asleep.I’m not sure I want to be without Sienna so soon; I don’t think I could settle. Lorcan said that he’d collect her as soon as we’ve talked things through. I could do nothing but agree.“I don’t know how it happened,” I entwine my fingers with Lorcan’s and pull his hand to my chest, kissing his knuckles. “I was feeling a bit out of sorts, missing my parents.” I shrug my shoulders.“I went to our garden for some fresh air. I let the guards know to tell y
