MARCUS’ POV

I closed my phone and took a deep breath. About an hour ago I started feeling Raven’s arousal. She probably didn’t know what she was doing but I felt her pulling at my wolf.

The other Alpha’s had been in the middle of reporting to me their encounters with the plague killing off their ranks and the local human communities when it hit me.

I thought I wasn’t going to make it. When the arousal was replaced with terror, I ended the meeting and called her.

I figured she would refuse to invite me over, so I didn’t bother asking. Hearing her voice over the phone did little to calm the beast inside.

I didn’t know much about how the mate bond would affect a human but our bond was new and still fragile, and emotions could easily be overwhelming. My wolf wasn’t going to rest until we made sure there was no threat to her. I needed to get to her and see for myself what was causing her distress.

My mind, however, kept wandering to Dustin. I knew he still had feelings for Raven, but

    Stepping out of the vehicles we burst through the entrance. Ghouls were standing around in their sleep state until we began firing. The gun fire brought the hell hounds running in out of nowhere. I could hear my men calling out, but I was focused now. Dustin was at my eight in tactical formation we made our way forward taking ghouls down one after the other. It was as if there was no end to them. My gun clicked catching me off guard. "I'm out." I threw the empty gun down pulling out my blades. Ghouls came at me mouths open arms outstretched as they ran at me moaning in hunger. I kicked the closest one away from me stabbing the one behind it in the head. Twirling around to stab another. I could hear Diez and Jack yell out clear as they came towards me and Dustin making our way towards the stairs. I watched the last ghoul drop and sprinted towards my group. I lead the way down. It was dark and I could hear water dripping somewhere nearby. Using signals, I held them up as we came to th

    In the blink of an eye, my demon had me held tightly against his chest. I felt his chest muscles ripple against my back. He tightened his arms around me, growling fiercely. The rumble of it was doing things to my body I had not felt in a while. It took everything I had not to throw my head back against his shoulder and close my eyes in pleasure."Damn it let her go!" Dustin's angry tone brought me back to his situation. I could hear the tension and pain and knew I needed to take care of him. Pushing against the hold on me had me feeling like a child."Both of you stop it." I finally freed myself, but I knew it was purely because he allowed me to. I finished taking my belt off. Not waiting to ask for permission, I shoved it into his mouth and wrapped my fingers around the exposed claw, pulling it from him.He threw his head back, biting down on my belt, a loud growl coming from him. It sounded eminently animalistic. His eyes were closed, and his knees seemed to shake a little. Not want

    After Dustin left me to fend for myself, I was taken hostage by Marcus. I say that because, usually, when someone refuses to go with you, you decide to ignore them, throw them over your shoulder and run away with them at blinding speed. That is usually categorized as kidnapping.It did not take long for us to get to Marcus' home. It was a large, extravagant mansion. One of the only structures standing around here that seemed like it had been left completely untouched by the last several years of war.Marcus yanked on my arm to follow him after finally letting me walk on my own. I rolled my eyes, getting tired of being treated like a doll. In the past, I never would have put up with this type of treatment. Yet, looking at the man leading me into his home, I just could not find it in me to fight him off. He was going to be my undoing if I did not catch a grip."Alpha, you are back." To the left a tall, attractive blue-eyed man in a pair of jeans and a black shirt approached, bowing his

She had been in her own rights just as animalistic as him.The knock on the bedroom door had my eyes glaring daggers at whoever was on the other side disturbing my peace with my mate. Being an alpha did not grant me a reprieve

    I woke up to pure agony. Rolling onto my back I tried to ease the way my skin felt so inflamed, I tried to piece together where I was. The dark grey walls and glass doors next to the massive bed was a dead giveaway that I was not in my small closet of a room back at the compound.Flashes of violet eyes had my body coming to life. I could not even think straight when the flames of desire began burning through me, scorching me. I moaned and withered, tears escaping my eyes as shame washed over me.Placing my hand between my thighs to rub the still swollen flesh of my sex I knew this was not going away any time soon.I have already humiliated myself by having sex with not just a stranger but my own enemy."I'm here, kitten." His voice came out of the darkness to tower over my withering body. When he walked into the light coming through the doors, I noticed for the first time his body was covered almost completely with tattoo. The artist had obviously taken his time and poured hours into

    It only took us two hours to come rolling up outside my compound's gates. As soon as they saw us the guards began firing."Stop the truck!" I screamed from the back seat at Lucion. He sent the Truck screeching to a halt as I came bursting out of the back door waving my hands.The large concrete gate opened slowly, and Dustin came walking out with Halister and Diez at his six. None of them looked happy to see me except Halister who started to approach me with a smile until Dustin thrust his arm out stopping him."Traitors are not welcome here. You are lucky we do not just take you out now and be done with it." He seethed at me. If this situation weren't life or death I don't know if I would be a crying mess at the way, he was treating me or beating his ass for forgetting who the fuck he is talking to.I chose to try and reason with him. "I understand where you might be getting the wrong impression, but did you happen to inform them that you are the one who left me stranded there alone.

I wanted so much to hate her, but every time I saw her it was like she could do no wrong.I wanted her to be happy, I wanted her to have everything that she could possibly want. If what she wanted was me.I was walking through the corridors of the compound headed towards my room. I pulled out my phone. Calling my father, I knew that this conversation was not going to end very well."There's been a development.""What kind of development?" He was pissed.

When I felt something warm and wet, I knew I was bleeding."Fuck," looking around everything came back to me.

I stood up the best I could determined to get to him."Raven," turning to look behind me I saw Randy, running toward me. He was covered in blood, but it didn't look like it was his.

    Oh my God, it was hot today, hotter than usual. Mike was going around the camp, laughing and joking. Trying to lighten all our moods.He even started flirting with Marina. I was surprised because I thought I'd never grow up enough to do it. I'd watched them tiptoe around each other for the past three months."Hey Raven chief fast if we could go out and catch a deer for the banquet?" I smiled up at Dustin. He was always trying to find ways to get some alone time with me ever since I had met him a few months ago.I didn't mind he was growing on me. Honestly at first, he was overbearing. He changed though. I always felt like there was a darkness surrounding him. Spending more time with him I have seen him lighten up."

I hadn't even made it off the bed before Randy was next to me pushing me back down.Blinking a few time my sight was clear enough to see all the people sitting in my room looking like they were attending a funeral. I wasn't dead, but I didn't see, "Where is Raven?"They shared a look between each other not saying a word to me. "Answer me.""It was an awful ba

    The truck comes to a stop. Looking around, we were stopped in front of an old, abandoned factory. "Where are we?" Fear started taking hold, "Where have you taken me?"The whole situation started making less and less since. When he stayed silent, I knew."Dustin, answer me.""Why couldn't you have just stayed with me?" he sounded so calm and collected. It was more frightening than if he would have been screaming at me."Why did you have to go with him? All these years I have stood by you and been there for you, I have loved you. I do love you." he was glaring at me now. His hand shot out grabbing the back of my neck."Dustin, I understand going on. What have you

    "Are you ready, Raven?"Marcus's voice was nothing more than a seductive whisper. It made me breathless. "Yes."His violet eyes wandered down my body. "Are you sure you can handle it?""Yes.""All of it?"I shot him an exasperated look. "We're no longer talking about the ride, are we?"He let out a deep full laugh. It did wonderfully sinful things to my core. "No, but we do need to get going soon."Marcus gave the order in the form of a subtle nod. Instantly we were on our way. The moment I sat down behind closed doors I felt the weight of all the insanity begin to rest heavy on my shoulders. As if sensing my unease Marcus pulled me into his lap."Marcus . . ."Chills spread through my body as his tongue licked out over my exposed shoulder. Turning into hot burning kisses. Until he got to my neck and began nipping at the spot that sent hot liquid pooling between my legs. His mouth and breath warmed my skin. This man was
