Ana POVThe three of us ran as fast as we possibly could. Although he was younger and a little shorter than Geegee and I, Tyson led the way to a cave for us to hide in. Near the cave was a waterfall that cascading into the body of water that sat in front of the pack house. The jagged rocks outside the cave held as a deterrent for any intruder. The air was damp and smelled of mildew and stagnant water. I wrapped my arms around myself as I tried to rid myself of the chill in the air. “They won’t find us here. Between the waterfall and the smells from the cave, there’s no way they will be able to find us.” Tyson explained. We sat huddled together for what seemed hours. Finally, after the sun set and all of us were chilled to the bone, we decided to make our trek back to the house. The walk back was difficult with no sun in the sky to guide us. The trees above made it almost impossible for the light of the moon to filter through. How we made it back without tripping or falling, was beyo
XAVIER POVI patted Sarah’s back as she weeded her way into my embrace. “No one is taking your place Sarah. And just because Louise and Des chose Ana to be Tyson’s godmother, doesn’t mean your friendship with them has changed.”“I just don’t want Ana to take my place.” Sarah sobbed. Here it was again. I was not ignorant to the fact that Sarah wanted to be more than friends. I, however, had made it clear years ago that I did not see her that way. By how she was acting, I had a feeling I needed to remind her of this. I grabbed Sarah’s shoulders and moved her away from me. I had been sitting in my room reading a contract for an upcoming project when Sarah had entered without knocking. She had sat next to me before the water works had begun. “Sarah, I need to make some things clear. Ana is not taking your place. Your place is as my friend and advisor. Annette is my mate. My soon to be Luna.” Sarah’s bottom lip quivered as I spoke. “When we arrive at the next pack, I think you should t
ANA POVI felt like I had been transported into an episode of Gilmore Girls. The small town of Englewood was the epitome of the picture-perfect small town. Small mom and pop shops lined either side of Main Street that ended in a rotary. Finely manicured lawns and shrubs made the brick exterior of the building standout. I had no idea why Xavier looked so concerned that we were stuck here for several days. It seemed like the most ideal place we could have ended up.A cute coffee shop named, Oh, Beans! caught my attention with its silly looking coffee bean business sign. I looked over at Ethan who sat up front with the driver before leaning in between the two front seats. “Ethan, could we possibly stop for some coffee?” Geegee perked up at the mention of the “c” word. The girl was more obsessed with coffee than I was. She nearly head butted me when she too put her head in between the two front seats. “Yes, baby Beta, please stop for some coffee.” Ethan groaned at the nickname. “I don’
ANA POVI stripped out of my robe, leaving me completely naked, and climbed into the hot spring. A moan escaped me as my body was submerged in the hot water. I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the moment. My body felt weightless in the water as my mind felt weighed down from all of the emotional turmoil going on in my mind. I wasn’t sure how much time passed before I felt myself begin to doze off. I jerked awake and put on high alert when I heard someone speak. “I see you found your way, pup.” A familiar rugged voice echoed. The strikingly handsome man from earlier, came out from under the awning that covered the door into the spa. I looked around, feeling slightly frazzled. I hugged my chest, covering my naked breasts, and sunk my body more into the water. “Uh, ye-yes, I did. I wasn’t expecting company…” I stammered out as I met his hungry gaze. His jaw clenched as he moved his eyes from my head down to the water where the rest of me was covered by the dark depths. “I
I had just rounded the corner of the hot spring area of the spa when I saw Annette wrap a towel around her wet naked body. My cock twitched in my pants at the sight of her gorgeous curves. However, the moment was ruined when I remembered why I was down here. Annette put her safety at risk by going down here by herself. I could hear Annette’s heart beat pick up after I asked her if anyone had been down here with her. I helped her into the plush robe.“A staff member from the spa came out here to ask if I needed anything.” Her voice didn’t waver as she spoke, but I could tell that she was lying.‘Someone could have seen her!’ Thane roared in my head, which only added to my growing frustration. I crossed my arms on my chest.“Is that so?” Ana mimicked my stance. “Yep. And now I'm headed back up to my room.” I took a step towards her. I loved the thrill it sent through me at Ana’s obvious growing discomfort. “Great, I will join you.” Ana rolled her eyes before storming off. Oh, Prin
After making Annette cum on my tongue and finger three more times, we took a small nap after giving her one of my shirts to put on. I had refused Ana on reciprocating pleasure. “Today is about you and your pleasure. I fucked up and want to prove that you are the center of my world.” I had explained. I lay in bed with Ana wrapped up in my arms. I was in awe of this woman. She seemed to continuously prove how different she was from Ambrosia. A lamp in the corner of the room created a golden glow. I’d closed the black out curtains to give us privacy. Annette’s milky skin was soft under my fingertips as I traced my hand up and down her stomach and thigh. The sound of her deep breathing as she slept was like a lullaby. It calmed me and made it easy to just be in the present and not stress about all my responsibilities. With much dismay, I untangled myself with Ana’s body and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After sliding on a tee and sweatpants. I left the room to ask the concierge
Ana POVI looped an arm around Xavier’s waist to help hold him up. His large frame dwarfed my already small stature. A figure in the shadows took out the enemy, right before we became a wolf’s dinner. They removed their hood. A stunning tawny-skinned woman with black tight curls stood before us. Her gold eyes took my breath away. “Seline?” Xavier coughed out. I knitted my brows together while I looked at him and the bronze beauty. Seline took several deep breaths as she tried to catch her breath while putting her hands on her knees. “Shit, Xave, I haven’t done that in forever.” She placed her hands on her hips and gave us a bright smile. “Felt so damn good!” Xavier chuckled before a coughing fit started. Seline’s brows furrowed. “What’s wrong with him?” She rushed towards us and wrapped his arm around her shoulders while her arm wrapped around the other side of his waist. “I don’t…. I don’t know. He mentioned something about his drink tasting weird.” Seline cursed under her breat
XAVIER POVAs soon as my team of guards and healer got to the hotel, I felt like I could take a deep breath. With the mixture of fluids and mixes of herbs, I was feeling almost as good as new. ‘Thane, you good?’ I asked my internal counterpart.‘Just fucking peachy.’ He growled. ‘Well good morning to you too, princess.’After a couple of hours of sleep, we were on the road and headed to Cliff Edge. It had been quite some time since I had last visited. I had Ethan stay back with Charles and a couple other guards to continue the investigation into the attack.I let out a curse as we passed the Welcome to Cliff Edge sign. I felt like we had traveled into an alternate reality or a poor country. Gone was the picture-esk town, and in its place graffiti marked, abandoned buildings stood. Overgrown brush filled in the cracks of parking lots, and metal bars protected the windows on the remaining businesses that were open. I didn’t like the feeling of this place. It was evident that I wasn’t
