Alpha Mars’ POVI was frozen. Frozen in place as I watched Ciara collide with William who was holding a silver dagger ready to stab me in the fucking back. They tumbled over the barrier, and I didn’t do a thing. I couldn’t move, couldn’t comprehend what was happening around me. Shock had taken over leaving me paralyzed thinking one of my warriors would attempt to kill me.But I couldn’t only think about William’s actions, my mind was reeling with questions on what I saw during the battle. Ciara, my beautiful CJ, was there one moment, fighting off some rogues, then a BEAR! A fucking Bear was suddenly beside me, protecting me so I could have a few minutes to heal! Ciara shifted into a fucking bear! I know she has a wolf… Wait!... Wasn’t there also a fox? Did she shift into a fox as well?!?! HOLY SHIT!After the remaining rogues ran off, I quickly put on some shorts I had in my Harley satchel bags and went towards Ciara. I needed to speak to her, needed to understand how she was able to m
Ciara’s POVI scurried through the tall grass as quickly as I could to reach the lake. I reach the pack border and lower myself to the ground into a large bush. I search for any sign of patrols by sniffing the air. A few moments later, three large wolves ran passed my hiding spot. I recognize two of them as part of our pack, but the third is a royal patrol guard. The royal guard stops momentarily and sniffs the air. I wiggle deeper into my hiding spot, holding my breath. I sigh with relief when he continues on his way. I tip toe through the shadows towards the lake; trying to keep my body as small as possible so I won’t be seen.‘What do you think Owen will do, once he learns the truth, Ember?’ I whisper in my mind to my wolf.She pads forwards slowly; I can see she is tired from the night’s events, but she refuses to rest in support of me. ‘I don’t know, Ciara. But whatever happens, I will be here for you.’ She lays down with her head on her front paws.Owen was waiting for me by the
Alpha Mars’ POVI held Ciara in my arms for what felt like an eternity. She has suffered so much by the hands of bad people, and it seems she is still suffering. Thinking over what I have learned, I start putting the pieces together. Ciara not going to Hazel’s celebration, never seeing her at the festival events, her training grounds away from the rest of the pack, Maximo saying there aren’t any female warriors, the Meadow Lake attack missing details, Beta Leon saying he doesn’t have a daughter… It all makes sense now why she is always saying ‘it’s a long story.’ Her Alpha is keeping her hidden, but why?“Ciara, I need you to answer one question honestly, ok?” I pat her hair and feel her nod. “Why is Alpha Radar keeping you hidden?” I can feel her stiffens under my hold.She lowers her head away from me before speaking. “Alpha Radar needs me safe and for me to protect the pack. If any of the other packs found out, then they may want to kill me, take me away, or it could cause a war.”
Ciara’s POVMy eyes flutter open after feeling like I have slept for days, even though I am pretty sure it was probably just a few hours. I smile. WOW… that is the only word my brain can muster up at the moment. Every part of my body felt different, was I even in my own skin anymore? My muscles were tired, and my core felt like it was shredded in two. My virginity was given to my goddess given mate and it made my heart swell. What was this feeling that encircled me like a warm blanket? Was this what the mate bond felt like? No. This has to be more than just the mate-bond. I closed my eyes as I cuddled close to Owen and let my mind remanence of what just happened. The way he took my body and molded it with his. The way he stretched me, so it fit his length. The way he caressed and took care of me left me craving for more. Goddess, I never realized the bliss I would feel after having sex with my mate.A thick mist had settled over the lake’s water and the coolness of the evening was wa
Alpha Mars' POVHoly shit! She fucking loves me! I smile as her words are permanently repeating in my mind. Asher is howling with excitement. ‘She loves you, she loves you! She really, really loves you!’ He sings over and over. I can’t help chuckle at his yipping and prancing. I look up between the trees and the sun is already close to being overhead. “What time is it?” I ask.She pulls her small bag over and pulls out her cellphone. “Looks like about 9:30 am.” I nod my head and kiss her passionately again. Goddess, I can’t keep my hands or lips off of her. In a perfect world, I would stay here in the forest for the rest of the day, enjoying the beautiful nature around us and letting our mate bond strength until its unbreakable, but I have responsibilities I have to take care of. Plus, I want to call my parents and tell them the contract with Hazel is void. I found my mate and I want her.“Oh no!” Ciara frantically searches through her bag and around the area as if she had lost someth
Ciara’s POVI watched as Owen takes off down the road on his Harley towards our packhouse. My heart is still flipping somersaults with the realization, my mate wants me! I can barely breathe! ‘Can you believe it Ember! He loves me and he wants me!!!’Ember stretches out her body in a long lean downward dog. She wiggles her toes then stretches out her back, ‘Well, duh! If you would have listened to me from the beginning, we could have been with mate ages ago!’ She saunters towards the front of my mind with a smug look in her eyes.‘Ember, we have only known him for a few days, if you don’t count those days we were in la-la-land after the mission fiasco. But I am glad it was a slow burn love. I like that I got to know him before realizing my feelings.’I run the water for a bath and add some lavender and eucalyptus oils to the water to help relax my sore aching muscles. The warm water sooths not just my body but my soul. Is the moon goddess finally on my side? Has she finally seen my har
Prince Liam’s POVThe crunching of the gravel on the deserted road was all I could focus on as I slowed my Maserati down to a crawl. I didn’t realize driving down the darkened trail in the dead of night alone was how I was supposed to make my meeting. I figured a nice five-star restaurant or even a low-key bar with easy women would have been the meeting spot, not some godforsaken location in the middle of nowhere! I would even take brunch at that shit Crystal Lake packhouse if it meant I was around civilization.I reviewed the coordinates once again on the GPS. I should be close to my destination.I abruptly slammed on the breaks when a pair of glowing neon green eyes popped out of nowhere. “Shit!” I yelled as a massive black panther was stalking back and forth in the middle of the road in front of my car. I didn’t realize black panthers were native to these parts. Its dark fur seemed to shimmer against the light of my headlights.Tap, tap, tap, startled me when a body was standing nex
Prince Liam’s POV“Now that we have taken your arrogance down a few pegs and you know who is in charge, we can have our talk...” The man relaxed back in his chair, releasing his aura against me.“May I ask you a question, my… my…?” I was stuck. What do I call him? Rogue King? Dark Alpha?“Since you like the word ‘Master’ so much, you may address me as such…” I knew he was referring to my role as Dom in BDSM. My dearies and playthings called me ‘Master’, but for a Dom to call another ‘Master’ was leveling myself to a submissive role. His devilish smirk actually frightened me. His eyes reminded me a pure evil. It made me wonder what was happening beyond those eyes, how his mind worked. How could one person have so much evil power radiating from him just by sitting relaxed in an office chair?“May I ask you a question, Master?” The words tasted like vinegar in my mouth, but I had to submit to this man. I kept my eyes down cast, afraid to look up. This man was not someone to take lightly.
