Alpha Mars' POV ‘Asher, let’s skip dinner and go for a run.’ I need a run to release the built up anger I am feeling towards this whole situation with Hazel and the fucking contract.I mind-link Hunter and tell him to lead the dinner with the new members and I’ll meet them another time. I just needed a run.Hunter sighs through the mind-link. ‘Alright, but Gregory is bringing his new mate, Benji. I thought you wanted to talk to her about her research?’‘Fuck, that’s right. Let’s do this, push back dinner one hour so I can get a run in. I need to let out some frustration because of fucking Hazel.’ I ran to the front of the packhouse.‘Damn, what did she do?’ Hunter asks.‘The bitch tried to whore herself at me! We went back to her suite to chat, then next thing I know, she’s fucking half naked rubbing herself all over me. I feel so disgusted by that woman’s behavior. She’s supposed to be the next Queen Luna? But, enough of that. I’ll see you guys shortly.’ I cut the mind-link and shif
Benji’s POV“This is it. I can do this! I know Science. I know Medicine. I can do this!”A hard knock on the bathroom door startles me from my mantra. “Benny Baby? Are you planning on coming out any time soon? Babe?” Gregory’s voices muffle through the door. The sound of my mate’s new nickname for me fills me with such giddiness.With a few deep breaths, I unlock the door and walk into his guest room. “Sorry, I was still getting ready.”Gregory looks at me up and down with lust-filled eyes. I can’t help but blush. Because I spend all my time in the University lab or at the hospital, I’m usually in nurses’ scrubs. But today, I decided to dress in business rocker attire for the Blue Eclipse Pack private dinner for new mates, so I could make a good impression. Dark blue suede skinny jeans, a white fitted t-shirt and a blue casual blazer along with my favorite 70s leopard heels that Ciara found at an online thrift store. I even took the time to straighten my pink and blonde shoulder-length
“As Gregory may have told you, I have been doing my thesis research project on the effects of Wolfbane on warriors and trying to find a way to combat the effects. Whether it being an antidote or a vaccine.”“Don’t we already have an antidote for Wolfbane.” Hunter asks.“Unfortunately, no, Doctors are using a form of saline and other chemicals to flush the warriors’ system, which can take several days to weeks to remove any traces of wolfbane, even with our rapid healing. An Antidote is a medicine that counteracts the poisons.” I pull out a blue and purplish bell like flower out of a small container. “Do you know what this is?” I ask.“Why did you bring THAT into the presence of the future king and my family!?” Theo asks as he slowly rises to his feet to stand in front of his wife and son. His eyes change; his wolf right on the surface to protect his family. Everyone but Alpha Mars have scowls on their faces like I have just committed one of the seven deadly sins! Their low growls frig
Ciara’s POV“Good afternoon, baseball fans! It’s a great day here in the eastside ballpark for our two teams who are fighting for a chance for a spot in the championship! We are on game 3 of the series.”A male voice enters into my subconscious. What is that? My fuzzy brain can’t comprehend where I am.“As many of you know, first baseman, Jason Madaldy, just recently came off the injured list after six weeks of physical therapy for his shoulder.” What? Who?“That’s right Todd, he isn’t the only one we are welcoming back after a long break. Outfielder, Freddie Dickerson is back from his recent trade that apparently wasn’t a good fit.”Who the heck is Freddie? And what’s wrong with his dick? My mind is even more confused the more I listen to these unknown voices.I continue to listen to the male voices in my head. “Strike three! Chris Lowe is out! Jimmy “Thunder arm” Johnson is on a roll! His earned run average is probably one of the best we have seen in a long time. 2.25 ERA.”“I agree
Ciara’s POV I walk along the lake’s water edge in my bear form during the early morning daybreak, the day after I woke up at Maximo’s home. The sun peaking behind the tops of the surrounding forest trees and the cool summer mist on the lake still hangs just above the still waters. The mystic fairytale beauty of my surroundings matches my melancholy mind. My dark autumn fur contrasts to the greenery surrounding the soft, clear, reflexive colors of the lake’s crystal waters.‘Ember, Can I ask you something?’ I reach out to my wolf. She padded forward from the depths of my mind; with a single nod of her head, I know she is urging me to continue.‘Are the others, okay?’ I watch the sun continue its assent from behind the trees, waiting for her response.‘CJ, remember we feel what you feel. We can tell your heart is shattered.’ she says quietly. ‘But I will say this, they seem to have faded deep into the recesses of your mind at the mention of the Dark Alpha. They are scared. I think the
Alpha Mars' POVI watch the deranged bear as it disappears into the woods for a few more minutes before turning back to Gregory. “Nancy’s mate is going to pummel you one of these days. That crazy bastard will murder any man who looks at her funny.” Goosebumps run down my arms at the thought of Nancy’s mate. He’s a crazy motherfucker when it comes to Nancy. I grabbed the gym shorts I was carrying during my wolf run and slipped them on.“Dr. Nancy is going to get such a kick out of Benny’s research. Can’t wait for those two to meet.” Gregory picks up another rock and throws it.“Where is Benjamina anyways? She didn’t stay late after our talk about her research,” I picked up another small stone and skipped it across the lake.Gregory smiles like a lovesick puppy. “She had to go to the university administration office to work on her transfer to the university in our area then she was going to the lab. I won’t see her until tonight.” He spoke without looking at me. His eyes were fixed on
Ciara’s POV“What is your problem, woman!” Owen growled in my face. He had some nerve after he hid the fact that he had a girlfriend!“You! Are my bleeping problem!” I tried wiggling out of his hold but to no avail. He had my arms pinned under his muscular thighs while he gingerly sat on my abdomen. “The word you are looking for is fucking. You are my fucking problem. If you are going to be fowl, do it properly.” He chuckles. I can’t believe he is laughing at me! “Now, once you have calmed down from whatever PMS issue you are dealing with, I will grab you some water from over there so we can have a conversation on why you disappeared on me with no explanation that night.” He pointed in the direction of my shabby garage, where the mini fridge was tucked into a corner.“Well, isn’t it your lucky day!” I say snarky. “Auntie Flow didn’t come to visit! Just a pure pissed-off female because you lied to me! You…You… Two-timing, male-equivalent to a hussy!”He cocks his head to the side and
Alpha Mars POVThis she-wolf is going to be the death of me. One moment, she’s attacking me like a raging bull and the next her beautiful smokey gray eyes are making me want to bend her over and fuck her until she submits to me – mind, body and soul. Dare I say, even her heart. I should be focusing on breaking the marriage contract with Haze. Instead, I am here with Ciara, I don’t want to stay away from her anymore. I crave her. The idea of having to reject her in the end is stirring emotions I have never been able to understand. But… My plans of being the lone Alpha King and not needing a mate are becoming less appealing because of Ciara. She’s warming my heart.“Will you turn around for me?” I think I liquidized Ciara’s brain from all of my kisses, because she just nods sluggishly. I gently let her legs down before turning her to face the garage wall. “I am going to remove your shorts.” Thunder echoes around us, but I ignored its call. My mind is completely focused on the beautiful
