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
Dustin's POVI punched the steering wheel fuming at myself for leaving her. Angry at her for putting me in that situation. The whole time she was touching me I was in heaven.Her delicate hands were so tender. The worry on her face would have made my heart melt if I had one. Over the time we have been together I have loved her.Me a demon who was never meant to love. I am made for destruction and chaos.I mean what more could I do to get that fucking woman to love me. I have stood by her all these years and did everything she has ever asked of me.When things got tough, I was there. No matter how hard I try to make her feel for me the way I feel for her she always pushes me away. I know she feels the heat between us. The roaring passion that we share.Hell, I never wanted to break up with her that was her excuse because we were getting too serious, and she needed and out.Like a complete fool I let her have her space. In my mind I knew eventually she would see we were meant to be toge
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
Marcus' POVMy mate was sound asleep curled up in my arms. I could get use to this every night. She was so perfect, so beautiful, and strong.I have never been so proud to have someone in my life before. I know our relationship is new and I could feel her fighting back against it, but I am determined to win her over.When Dustin had driven away leaving her stranded with me internally, I had been screaming with joy celebrating my victory. My wolf had wanted to claim her right then.I was not sure what her relationship was with him, but neither my wolf nor my vampire side liked it at all. Being hybrid made me stronger, faster, and more powerful; but it also made me more possessive, and animalistic.Just remembering the sex, had his cock jumping back to attention. 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.
Raven's POVEverything hurt. My body ached. My eyes felt glued shut. The beeping that was close by was driving me crazy.I moaned when I shifted my body and pain spiked down my spine. "Marcus!" I heard a woman scream."Marcus she is awake." The same voice screamed again. I forced my eyes open to find out who was screaming. It was making my ears ring.I was in a small hospital room the lights were dimmed and for that I was thankful. I still couldn't move my body, so I just laid still trying to adjust.If the Goddess could bring me back to life the least, she could have done was take this damn pain away. I know it's a selfish thought but fuck this hurt.
Marcus's POVShe was dying. She couldn't die. I held her limp body in my arms. She had said she loved me! My little kitten.She had fought so hard. I couldn't protect her. My wolf was howling in my head. I did the only option I had left. I couldn't lose here. There was no other choice for me.We were almost back to the pack Randy was driving crazy to get us to the back doctor as quick as possible. I was losing time though.I had to make the choice now or it would be too late. I just hoped and prayed that she would accept the decision I make.My head rolled to the side as my fangs slide out. Not thinking twice, I bite into the side of her throat that wasn't ripp
When I came to my head was splitting in two. My hand instantly went to the back of my head. When I felt something warm and wet, I knew I was bleeding."Fuck," looking around everything came back to me. Dustin was a demon and his father wanted me dead.I heard a familiar growl and my head snapped up so quick I could swear I got whip lash. "Marcus!" He was alive. How? 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. I looked back at Marcus.He had shifted. His wolf form was something I had never seen before. "He is a Lycan." I was talking mostly to myself, but Randy heard me.
Marcus' POVWe were just outside the location Raven was tracked too. The building had obviously seen better days. Parts of it were crumbling down. Rubble was scattered all around the perimeter."At least in the state of this building breaking our way in shouldn't be much of a task. I will set up the C4 at the main doors. Give me ten minutes."I nodded and sent the others to survey the surroundings. They didn't get far before we demons began stepping out of the shadows."Um Randy, I'm going to need you to make that five minutes.""Fuck," he ran to the door at the same time the shadows began a rushing us. I felt my body contort and my bones begin to reshape. The
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."
Marcus POV.My body was on fire. I felt like death. Images of Raven laying across my chest flashed across my mind. Realizing I still hadn't opened my eyes I attempted it.The room was dark, which I was thankful for, "Raven?""Hey, hey, lay back down." 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
Dustin's POVI could not look at them anymore plus I needed an excuse to leave and call off the attack. How dare she show up at my gate with that Lycan. 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. He wasn't much for things that didn't go his way. "I'm not
