Gabe’s POV
“I want to play,” Olivia murmurs. I have her full attention and I swallow the lump in my throat.
I stare at my mate as she looks up at me. All the different things I could do to her and Felix practically purrs in agreeance.
I lean back against the chair and thrust my hips up. I watch as my mate’s body jerks up and her hips start grinding against me. Lifting my hips again my mate’s hips start rolling against me.
I continue my rhythm and watch her cheeks flush and her mouth slowly drops. She’s lost in the feeling I’m giving her when my hips stop. I bite my lip to stop the laugh that threatens to escape.
Her eyes snap open and a look of confusion spreads across her features. “Why did you stop?” Her lust-filled eyes stare back at me.
I touch her chin, my fingers trailing her lips. “As much as I want to keep going. I’m going to s
Adea Getting in the shower, I washed quickly, eager to cuddle with Ethan. Not being near him was driving my wolf and my senses crazy. When I got out of the shower, I wrapped the towel around me before sticking my head out of the bathroom door. He was laying on the bed next to the clothes I had pulled out to change into. He looked up and smiled when he saw my hesitation. Lifting my chin up, I walked over and picked up the clothes. His eyebrow lifted as his eyes trailed down my body. Breathing in, I inhaled his intoxicating scent. My nerves felt like they were on fire, every fiber in my body trying to pull me to him. Magnets pulling towards the other. I couldn’t stay away from him. Dropping my towel, I got dressed quickly, and ignored the groan behind me. Ignored the way he made me feel. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and after about five minutes, the door opened.
Doors slammed and Ethan held the door open. for me. The walk to the trial was eery and quiet. Beta followed behind us, with Gamma Olivia and Gabe trailing closely. The trial was taking place at the same place the ball was held. I held my breath as we walked into the building hand in hand with Ethan. His touch giving me the comfort I needed. Before I dropped my head, Korurged me to lift my head as we walked over the threshold. One long mahogany table is lined up at the far end of the hall and smaller mahogany tables line up adjacent to the long one. Ethan squeezes my hand before heading over to the long table where he sits on the largest of six tall wooden chairs. Wooden vines swirling up towards a wooden crown at the top of the chair. Two wolves on each side of the crown and the armrest changing into claws. His hand pulled me down into the chair beside him. After we were all seated, Alpha Joshua and Lun
It’s been a couple of days since the trial. The Half Moon pack and all of their pack members left, not including Gabe. Mavyand her parents left after the trial, I didn’t get to say goodbye but I think it’s better that way. I know things won’t be the same but that doesn’t stop my stomach from churning.Ethan is busy during the day but we get to share dinner together. At night we cuddle, we haven’t done anything yet. I’ve started getting used to seeing him when I wake up in the morning. I know he wants me though, I feel him every morning.Kor wants me to jump his bones and ride him until kingdom come. I haven’t seen Gamma Olivia and Gabethough. Odis is around but he keeps his distance. I’m not sure what he’s thinking but I would like to get to know him better.“Adea?" Kor asks her tone sounding lighthearted.“Yes,
His hand traveled to between us traveling lower and lower. The urge to rock my hips was excruciating. I wanted nothing more than to see him come apart under me. Could I bring him there?His fingers rubbed the length of my slit with his fingers. Thick wetness on his fingers would have allowed him to slide his finger into me effortlessly if it weren’t for my underwear.Our eyes locked on each other as he quickened his movements and my insides squeezed. His fingers pulled the thin fabric to the side and before I could protest his fingers glided into my wet pussy.He didn’t give me any time to adjust as he thrust his finger inside of me. He was merciless and his eyes clouded with lust. My eyes were locked on his sexy chiseled face. I reached for his briefs and pulled him out. His eyes watching me, waiting to see what I’d do.Pre-cum glinted at the top of his thick fat cock.
Ethan pulls me into his side as we walk out of the elevator. He’s warm and the feeling of his hand around my waist is sparking a fire in me. I blush, yes, another fire. The hall is busy and I notice everyone is here. I see a lot of faces I know and a few that I don’t.Some are sitting together and some are walking around. Everyone seems happy here, safe. Someone has some slow jams playing, which makes me want to dance.Ethan’s hand trails up my waist and I know my face has betrayed me when he lets out a low chuckle. When we walk into the kitchen, I stiffen when I see Sasha turns around and sees us. Her long red hair is in a braid down her back, she’s wearing a mini skirt and a low-cut blouse.She gives a low bow when she greets us and turns to get our plates ready. Ethan doesn’t pay her any attention and leads me to the table. Odis walks in and Ethan flashes him a smile. Be
I was sitting up in bed the next morning, thinking of my day with Ethan yesterday. The bed dipped, “I could get used to this,” Ethan said before he kissed my shoulder.Off in the distance screams filled the air. Every single one of my hairs stood on end, and my eyes shot to Ethan. His eyes glazed as his mind linked someone. When the link was cut, he jumped from the bed and hurried to get dressed.“What’s happening?” I asked him, hurrying to his side.He shook his head, as he threw a shirt on and hurried to put on some shorts. The screaming only grew louder.“I need to know what’s going on Ethan!”“Stay here!” He told me, looking into my eyes before he ran out the door.“Ady!” I could hear Gabe’s voice yelling my name.“Adea, I think we
We got to the hall safely and the kids shuffled over the threshold and inside. There were a few people inside the hall and relief washed over me when crying children were united with their parents.“Are you okay?” Gabe asks.I nod.“I am. That was… I wasn’t expecting to kill anyone today or ever.” I say nervously.He wraps me in a hug. “You did good Ady. You protected yourself and this little one. You’re going to be a great Luna,” Gabe says and I blush a little at the compliment.“I’m going to check how many people are here and see if there are any injured,” Gabe tells me before heading off towards the crowd of people.The child in my arms trembled and my eyes met green eyes. The litt
I’m sitting on Ethan’s lap, Gamma Olivia and Beta Odis are standing across from us on the other side of Ethan’s desk in his office. Gabe stands by the door, unsure if he should be here.Silence fills the room and all I want is to get away from his lap. His hands tighten around my waist as if he can hear my thoughts. He leans forward, his chest touching my back, his forehead leaning down on the top of my head.“Beta, do we know how they gained entry onto the territory?” Ethan asks and I just know he’s trying to keep his feelings in control.“No Alpha, they weren’t seen until they got closer to the school but I have a hunch that there’s been foul play,” Odis reports.“As in?” Ethan asks.“I think someone is working with the rogues but it’s just a hunch right now and I don&rsq
The first month back at Desert Moon had been hard. Not a day went by without us fighting. Ethan rejected Mavy as his mate before we came home. A part of me knew he was hurt about it, missed her like I missed Shane. I felt like he was only with me because I was his Luna, because of obligation and duty. I didn’t know why he wanted to be with me. He didn’t know why I was with him when I loved Shane. We were at our lowest. We were ugly, we were at our rawest. It wasn’t until month two that we finally talked about everything. We talked bout what happened and we talked about the past. The one that I remembered and by this time, the one that he remembered. It was hard, facing the man I loved in this life and the man I hated in the past. He wasn’t him anymore, he hadn’t been him for a long time. We dug into the past and were completely honest with each other. He fell to his knees and apologized for what he’d done even though I told him it wasn’t him, that wasn’t him anymore. He asked me if I
Mavy fell back as if she’d been physically struck. She collapsed on the couch, her eyes watering. She didn’t look back at me, she kept her gaze focused on Ethan. I watched as her world crashed around her again for the second time in five minutes.“Where does that leave me?” Mavy asked. “I’m… your…” she shook her head and turned to look back at Ethan. “That’s not possible. I’m… I can smell it. I can feel it. Can’t you?” Mavy whispered. I heard the desperation in her voice.“I don’t care what you think or how you feel. I am already mated and my mate, my partner, my love, MY QUEEN sits in this room. Don’t disrespect her again.” The emotion in his voice caused me to choke up. Mavy bit into her lower lip and tears streamed down her cheeks. She dropped her head.“Yes, Alpha,” she said submissively.“I killed your Alpha,” Ethan said. “I’ve killed your brother.”“Yes,” she murmured.“Will you fight me on this?” Ethan asked.“As the next in line, I submit to you,” Mavy whispered.Ethan dismiss
The voices were getting louder, my head was hurting. I wanted to roll up into a ball and disappear from the world. Instead, I closed my eyes and tried to drown it all out, trying to ignore everyone. I wasn’t ready to deal with it.“She’s in shock…”“She’s confused…”“Enough!”A door slammed and footsteps paddled quickly towards me. Soft frail arms wrapped around me. Tears soaked my cheeks and my neck as Mavy cried. Did she know? She had to know.“Are you okay?” Mavy sobbed.I wrapped my arms around her and nodded. The tears started up again and streamed down my cheeks. Her t-shirt bunched in my fingers as I held her close. We cried and held each other.She inhaled deeply and froze. Slowly, she lifted her nose into the air and took another deep breath. Turning from me, she tried to follow the scent. She stopped, her gaze locked on someone, I turned and followed her gaze.I should have known, expected it but I’d been so caught up in my feelings that I didn’t think. I don’t know how it w
I didn’t have an answer for him and I don’t think he would have liked what I would have said. Hell, I didn’t know if I liked what I thought or how I felt. Instead of hurting him and cutting myself open for him, I didn’t say anything. I remained quiet. My world was crashing around me and my ears were ringing. I lowered my head and the tears flowed of their own volition.Ethan leaned down and I flinched as his arms wrapped around me. They were strong and broad. His embrace was warm and promised I could lean on him. I attempted to get to my feet only to fall. My face twisted from the pain and I wanted to cry and wallow in my own self-pity. Standing, he pulled me up and held me as my body gave up. I collapsed against him.I wanted to get to Shane, needed to. As if on cue, the weak mate bond snapped, and just like in my dream, it was gone. Only, this time, the pain I was feeling was because of Shane and not because of Ethan. The world was cold, the warmth I’d been able to feel from Shane f
Did what I do to him last night not bother him? I betrayed him. Did he not care that I came here to hurt him? Did he not care that I chose Ethan? I wanted to cry and scream. I wanted to run into his arms. I wanted this to stop. I wanted them to stop fighting. I wanted it all to stop. I screamed, it was painful and gut-wrenching but I screamed. I cursed the Goddess, damn her, she was useless in all of this. She sat up there above the clouds and did nothing to help us. Did she enjoy watching us suffer? When I couldn’t scream anymore, I inhaled deep breaths of air. I looked up and froze as Shane stared back at me. The way he looked at me told me he knew he was going to die. The look in his eye told me he knew he lost but for me, there was a small spark as if he wouldn’t just lay down and take it. I watched Ethan punch him. It was as if he was moving in slow motion. He hit his jaw and Shane’s head snapped back hard against the ground. Shane’s body tensed and he punched Ethan in the gut.
For a moment in time, they stood glaring at each other. The sun was blaring down on us. My gaze darted back and forth between the two. Shane’s eyes wandered away from Ethan and landed on me. “Look at me, mutt. You don’t get to look at her after what you’ve done,” Ethan spat. “I’m not so weak that you can look away from me in the middle of a fight.” “What have I done?” Shane taunted. “You’ve touched what’s mine,” Ethan growled. “I haven’t done anything other than touch what is mine. I haven’t done anything but make love to what is mine. I’ve claimed her. She may not wear my mark, thief but she is mine. Don’t claim her as yours. She was mine, she was always mine. She doesn’t belong to you, she never did.” A look came over Ethan’s face as if he knew as if this was confirmation as if he was reminded of something he’d forgotten. “You’re the one who touched someone who wasn’t yours. You are the one who took what was mine. Don’t try to play the victim. Don’t pretend to be something you’re
No.Not Odis.“Devin,” I gasped.Devin heard me but didn’t stop. He didn’t look up at me, didn’t even hesitate as he continued to stomp Odis into the ground. Blood spurt from Odis’ mouth and I think I heard his ribs crack. I took a step closer to stop it, to stop him. In a flash, someone was on top of Devin. Strong arms held Devin’s prisoner in a headlock and his legs wrapped around Devin’s abdomen.I wanted to scream but it quickly died in my throat as Odis and I realized the man in front of me was Gabe. Gabe. It was Gabe and he was on top of Devin. Well, he was wrapped around him like a python ready to suffocate his prey. Gabe grunted as he continued to squeeze Devin’s head, blocking his airflow.I wanted to cry out happily but I couldn’t. Gabe was here. Why was he here? He wasn’t supposed to be here. Things were going differently since he was alive. He was standing, breathing, his head was still attached to his body. Maybe things were turning out differently.Maybe Gabe was safe, ma
“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Odis asked. I couldn’t find the words to speak, so I nodded. “Good,” Odis said as his grip on me loosened. “Why don’t you let her go?” A voice called out to us. Looking up, I searched for the source of the voice. My eyes widened as I found Devin watching up. His gaze locked around Odis’ arms that were still wrapped around me to his hands that gripped my arms. “I promise I’m more fun,” Devin teased. I know what it looked like. It looked like I was being held back from moving. It looked like Odis was stopping me from helping Shane. It looked like I was stuck between two packs, two men. The situation I found myself in was precarious. I was now stuck between two Betas who were supposed to protect me, despite their conflicting thoughts regarding me. I hadn’t had much time with Devin since I’d been back. He hadn’t been the nicest, shit, I don’t think he even liked me. That didn’t change the fact that Devin was Beta of Half Moon pack. Shane was his
I didn’t have an answer and I prayed I didn’t have to make the choice. Not only had everyone stopped moving but it had gone deathly silent. For a moment, everyone and everything froze. There wasn’t a whisper of wind in the air, the trees stood still, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It was the calm before the storm. It felt like someone had pushed the pause button and all at once the play button was pressed and all hell broke loose. As if planned, the two of them ran toward each other. I looked past Ethan and my gaze landed on Shane’s chest. The sword had been taken out, a gaping hole was left in its place right next to his heart. Now that it was gone, I could see I had barely missed his heart. If I’d been one inch to the right, he would have died. How had I missed that? I didn’t kill him. Was I not paying attention? Why hadn’t I looked at his heart? I had aimed, hadn’t I? Had I meant to miss it? No, I had meant it, or else I wouldn’t have stabbed him at all. I tried to
