Alpha Mars' POV I hear a knock on the door signaling that my squad has arrived for our nightly briefing. As I glance up, I notice little Theodore joining us. He walks into the room hand in hand with his mother. As he lets go of her hand, he runs over to me. I pick him up and begin blowing raspberries on his belly.“Uncle Mars, that tickles!” He giggles out. “Daddy! Save me! Punch Uncle Mars in the nuts!”“Theodore! Who taught you such language?” Antonia takes him from me to put him on the couch.Little Theodore looks at his dad, then at me, then back at his dad again. The little fucker points at me! “Well, Uncle Mars told Daddy that he would punch him in the nuts if he ever did something again, but I don’t remember what that something was.” Antonia gives me a dirty look and starts what I am assuming is cussing me out in Spanish. Theo hastily hugs her to calm her down by purring into her neck. I can see her visibly relaxing in his arms. “Let me help you put your feet up, mi amor. You
Alpha Mars' POV We finished our meeting fairly quickly and now it is close to 10pm. I hop in the shower. The hot water jets shoot directly on my shoulder muscles, helping me relax.Asher pushes an image of CJ through my mind and my dick instantly stands to attention. Without much persuasion, I grabbed my shaft and slowly stroked it to relieve some of the tension. I imagine her on her knees in front of me, rolling her tongue on the head of my cock while water is dripping on her face. “FUUUCCKKK,” I growl out. Her beautiful, smokey gray eyes looking up at me as she wraps her plump, kissable lips around the shaft. I start stroking faster as more images of CJ doing naughty things with her mouth drive me insane. I let out a moan, and an explosion of cum shoots all over the shower wall. Dammit, this isn’t enough to satisfy me, but I ignore my male urges and decide to just go to bed instead. I wash my body quickly before getting out of the shower. I wrap a towel around my waist and walk int
Alpha Mars' POV She leads me to her bedroom door when I notice a scar on her leg. 399 roughly cut into the back of her leg. Who the fucking hell hurt her? My wolf is growling in anger that someone hurt our mate. I can feel the prickles of rage rolling up my spine. I force Asher to calm the fuck down before we accidentally shift inside the house. We reach the kitchen on the first floor, and she directs me to sit on one of the bar stools at the large center island. “Beer? Water? Juice? Soda?” Her head is in the refrigerator and I am getting a great view of her lovely round ass. I drool slightly at her beautiful curvy body.“Beer works.” I have to adjust myself in my sweatpants, so my bulge doesn’t show its alive and ready to fuck. She pulls out a beer for me and a large flowery print container.As she is making up my plate, I try to come up with a conversation. The scar on her leg is continuously gnawing at me. The war of knowing and not knowing is battling away in my mind. I try to t
Alpha Mars' POV I grab her by the waist to lift her into my lap. She straddles me as we sit on the barstool face to face. Her breasts pressed up against my muscular chest. Our lips are locked in a tangle of lust and desire. She wraps her arms around my neck to pull me closer to her.I can smell her arousal, and it’s starting to kill me with the need for this bombshell of a sexy goddess! I grab her plump delectable butt cheeks and squeeze roughly. She whimpers against my lips. I push and pull her hips to slowly start grinding against my hard groin. “Oh, fuck baby girl!” If I am not careful, I am going to take her right here in the kitchen.I let my hand trace down the side of her body and under her shirt. Holy shit, she isn’t wearing a bra. Why didn’t I notice it when she was showing me her tattoo? I cup a plump breast to knead and palm it with my rough callus hands. Moving my fingers over her pebbled nipple, gently squeezing it. She drops her head back and moans out my name. “Owen!”
Ciara’s POV ‘Ciara, I need you to wake up.’ My eyes flutter open to the sound of Alpha Radar in my head. I picked up my phone to check the time. The light of the phone blinded me through my sleepy state. I see it’s only 2:00 am. I groan. What the hell? Didn’t I just fall asleep about an hour ago?‘Ciara, wake up; I have a mission for you and Maximo.’ Alpha Radar echoes in my head.‘Yeah, yeah, I am awake now. What’s going on?’ I sleepily mind-link him back. I roll over and see Owen sleeping peacefully next to me. For a moment, I had forgotten we decided to snuggle in my bed. We spent most of the night just chatting, before we fell asleep. His arm curled around my waist. The warmth of his body threatens me to fall back asleep. His features are relaxed and soft. The scowl gone; he looks so much younger when he is asleep. I want to kiss and touch his face, but Alpha Radar is ruining the moment with his stupid voice.‘I received an urgent message from the Meadow Lake pack that a group o
Ciara's POV “Axil, did you figure out how to get into the main house?” the scratchy voice guy asks.A throaty laugh reaches my ears from another voice. “Piece of cake. Fuckers didn’t even realize I entered the building. The house has three stories, all the family lives on the third floor. The kid’s room is the third window from the right. The one with the smaller balcony. Best part. No security alarm on the balcony doors. We can easily enter and exit through there.”“Good. The extraction team is already about 10 minutes out. We can use the tranquilizer needle to knock the kid and any family members out.” Scratchy voice guy says.“Did you ever find out what the boss wants with the kid? This seems like a lot of work for a fucking stupid 10-year-old.” Another voice speaks.“Don’t ask questions; just do what you are told.” Scratchy voice guy barks.What do they want a kid for? This isn’t good. Maybe they are holding him for ransom? Maybe they are human traffickers! I read about the types
Ciara's POV “Ciara! Open your eyes, child!” A slap on my cheek shakes me awake from the depths of my mental brain fog. Through blinking eyes, I see Alpha Radar and Maximo standing over my blood-covered bear form. “Shift!” Alpha Radar booms at me. I comply, still laying on my back, naked as a baby bird.I sit up groaning, still not in my right mind. I try to lift my arm to rub my eyes, but I don’t feel anything. Damn, did I lose my arm! Will I be a three-legged animal for the rest of my life? I look to see my injured arm and shoulder dangling motionless against my side. The numbness is keeping me from moving properly.“The doctor is on his way to take the bullets out.” Maximo hands me a large shirt and shorts. He helps me slip them on before pulling me to feet.I look around and see warriors from the pack standing out conversing over what happened. The bodies of the military men piled up along the road. Then I remembered. “What happened to scratchy voice guy?”Maximo hands me a bottle
Alpha Mars' POV It’s been over two days since I last saw Ciara, and now, she isn’t answering my text messages or calls. Normally, I wouldn’t give a shit if a woman contacts me. This stupid connection with Ciara is something that is becoming difficult to ignore. The chemistry between us, I have never felt with anyone. We spent one night together, and I am thinking about her non-stop. We didn’t even have sex! I just enjoyed her company.Why am I so irritated that she isn’t answering her phone? Isn’t this a good thing? Cutting ties now rather than later? Asher growls in anger at the idea.‘Or! Maybe you are getting attached to our mate.’ Asher snickers at me. I roll my eyes. I refuse to argue again with my wolf over the mate bond. I haven’t accepted the mate bond, nor will I accept it.For the last two days without CJ, I've been strolling around the Summer Moon Festival with Hazel, begrudgingly being her date. She's been chatting non-stop for the past two fucking hours about the mating
Third Party POV – Five years Later“Daddy!” A four-year-old little girl with blonde wavey hair and striking smokey gray eyes wandered through the halls of the packhouse, paying no mind how loud she is. “DAAAAAADDDDDDDYYYYY!!!!” She yelled again.“What’s the matter, Isabella?” Beta Hunter strolled out of the packhouse kitchen munching on a bag of chips.“Uncle Hunter, Uncle Hunter” The little girl runs up and stands on her toes in front of him, hoping to make herself taller. “Where Daddy? They do it again!” She points her little finger in the direction she just came from. Her plump little cheeks red with annoyance.Beta Hunter couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. This was a normal grievance from the little princess. “Oh, dear. Did you tell your mom?”Isabella crossed her arms with a huff, “No! I want daddy! Mommy say they playing, but nanny says they will break their necks! Wolves keep feet on the ground!” She rushed through in one big breath. She looks back down the hall and n
Ciara’s POV (several months later)That’s it! Its official… I think the moon goddess has changed her mind and decided to finish me off with an unknown disease. She has played a cruel trick on me. Giving me high hopes of the perfect wonderful life then snatching it away with a virus. I finally got my mate; I am Queen Luna, and I am surrounded by people who love and cherish me. Now I am hugging the porcelain throne of waste as if it is a lifeline from a sinking ship! Goodbye cruel world! Hello field of endless sleep…After my Luna Ceremony and the coronation of the new King and Queen, life at the Blue Eclipse pack turned into a pretty good routine. Alpha King Mars went back to his duties, and I took up the role of nontraditional, ass-kicking warrior Queen Luna.Owen and I had a big lavish wedding, to which all the pack leaders were invited. Our honeymoon was a cross-country ride on our motorcycles! Owen had my stuff and motorcycle shipped over to our pack as soon as my trial was over as
Chapter – Dear DiaryCiara’s POVDear Diary – Sorry I haven’t written in a while. My therapist and Owen had to remind me that writing will help my PTSD and help me cope with the memories of my time with the Dark Alpha. It’s been a crazy few months of learning to accept what I can’t change and to not blame myself for the past. I will admit the nightmares have gotten better since I started sleeping next to my goddess given mate. Being able to sleep has really helped the healing process, but when I do have a nightmare, Owen has to remind me I am no longer bound by the magical commands.Benji is getting better as well. She finally has some color back in her face and she no longer looks like a corpse. She is even able to take small walks with me around her garden, but it won’t be for a few more months til she’s able to go back in the medical lab doing what she loves. Each day she gets better and better, but I still sometimes find her sitting by the window with a far-off blank look on her fa
Alpha Mars’ POVI hug my mate then taste her sweet lips with a soft sinful kiss. Every hurdle, every roadblock, are destroyed and our path to forever is completely clear. I purr into her mouth, “Now you come home with me, and I get to touch your body until the break of day. I am going to kiss every inch of you, maybe even taste that beautiful pussy of yours, but no sex til you are 100% healed.” Without anyone noticing, I pull the blanket over her breasts so no one can see my hand, then flick and play with her nipple with my fingers.She moans then suddenly breaks away from my hold as if she just discovered something important, “Benji!”I look at her confused, “What?”“I want to go see Benji.” She looks at me with such pleading eyes that I groan. I rest my head on her shoulder. My cock throwing a tantrum over being so close to our mate and she throws a wrench into my sexually frustrated plans.“Seriously? You haven’t seen me in months, then you were unconscious for weeks, almost dying
Alpha Mars' POV We watched as the men and women of the elder council filed into their chamber. It wasn’t until the last robe disappeared behind the door that I finally felt like I could breathe. In a couple of strides, I was next to Ciara’s wheelchair kissing her sweet plump lips with everything my soul could give. The audience slowly filed out of the court room around us, but I wasn’t paying attention. My eyes were glued on my mate.“Fuck, I don’t think I could handle listening to your story much longer. I was ready to go to war with a fucker who is already dead.” I cupped her cheeks and stared into her smokey gray eyes. Her dark lashes fluttered her tears away as she smiled up at me. Goddess, I missed her smile.“What happens now?” Ciara says.“Well, they bring me their decision, and I fight it. But if they want to pursue it further, they can overrule my decision or go to the Magical Creature Council. But I don’t think it will come to that. I watched their reactions to your story.
Alpha Mars’ POVIs she out of her mind!?! She’s supposed to be resting and recovering from nearly dying! Not fucking being wheeled around by my warriors. And that pissed me off even more! The three warriors who were placed to guard her, brought her here to the courtroom and didn’t even bat a fucking eye on going against my command.I look over at Hunter who is smiling like a fucking idiot, secretly holding two thumbs up in approval at his mate, Freya. She smiled widely at him then blushed. Fucking, dammit!“What is your mate doing here? Shouldn’t she be resting? What if she gets sick again from the cold? What if something bad happens to her? This isn’t safe…” My mother fussed in my ear, but I waved her away. Those same thoughts were running through my mind, but what could I do? Ciara is a stubborn thing, but I loved her for it.“I hear you are trying to decide what my fate should be.” Ciara’s voice is calm and collected, just like a powerful Luna should be. “It’s considered rude to ta
Ciara’s POV Every inch of my body was stiff like a pole was shoved up my back. My muscles refused to work, my brain was foggy, and I am pretty sure my bladder was about to explode. A numb tingling feeling like when my foot falls asleep was crawling all over my skin. Basically, I was miserable. ‘Ember are we dead?’ I whined through our link. I started wiggling my toes and fingers slowly getting some sensation back. Every slight movement was a small blessing. I guess the moon goddess wasn’t going to make things easy by letting me magically rise from the dead like a phoenix… Nope she had to go the zombie route. Snort. ‘You aren’t dead, Frankenstein, just stiff… You need to keep moving your body. I’m working on healing you…’ Ember was a wonderful sight to see in my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Ember, is it weird without our friends with you?’ She nodded, ‘yeah it’s a bit lonely without their presence, but at least we have the memories.’ I smiled at that…. ‘Now open your eyes, I
Alpha Mars' POV Ciara’s beautiful smokey gray eyes squinted up at me then fluttered in and out of focus. She tried to adjust her position on the bed, but she was stiff from laying still for weeks. She let out a soft groan but couldn’t get any words out. She tried to speak again, but her eyes widen in realization instead, clutching at her throat in panic. Shit that fucking tube in her mouth… She was struggling to breathe! I just got her back and now she’s going to die from fixation from a fucking life-support tube!“I’ll get someone to help!” Artemis ran out of the room while Freya stood motionless crying, and my sister Olivia just looked uncomfortable since she has never met Ciara before.I pulled my chair closer to Ciara, “Its ok, Baby… someone will be here soon to take that fucking thing out. Keep your eyes on me. That’s it, baby… Look at me… I got you!” I smiled at her still holding and kissing her fingertips as I continued to whisper sweetly to her. “I am not going anywhere. You a
Alpha Mars’ POVI stare at my mothers’ retreating back in complete confusion. “What the fuck just happened?” My mind couldn’t handle another fucking thing to worry about. Wasn’t only a few months ago, my mother was calling Ciara some no-name whore? Now she’s fussing over her blankets, checking over her, and warning me about the fucking council? Plus, she admitted to her mistakes in her own way?“Boss, I think we need to take heed of her words about those sneaky old bastards.” Hunter pulled out his phone from his back pocket, working over the screen with his finger. “There’s nothing on the pack calendar for a meeting, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t meeting in private. I need to get a hold of Elder Mayfield. She’s always been on your side and will know what’s going on. I’ll be back shortly.” Then he rushed out the door without another word.Theo patted my shoulder as he stood as well. “I better get back to my family. Antonia will bring more food later. No te preocupes, Ok? No worries
