Adea

I couldn’t help the feeling of helplessness as it rushed through my body. I knew he wasn’t the same as when he first did this. I knew he said he wouldn’t hurt me but… I… I relaxed my body. I needed to seem accepting. I needed to come off as wanting this. I ignored the little voice that whispered how much she wanted it.

The water sloshed around us and I tried not to peer over my shoulder at him. I didn’t want to see what he was doing. As much as I wanted to know, I kept my eyes on the trail leading away from the pool.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t what happened. When his firm hard hand connected with my left cheek, I cried out. It hurt and tears rushed to fill my eyes. My vision blurred as another slap sounded and pain spread out where his palm landed.

I grunted and gripped the grass. This wasn’t my first time being hit, Ethan had done it but it hadn’t been like this, it hadn’t been this hard. Shane groaned, his breathing came out rugged as he massaged the are

    AdeaMy gaze lingers on his chest for a minute too long when I look up Shane is reaching for the door. If he notices where my attention has been he doesn’t show it. Tucking my chin in, I dip my head down before hopping into the backseat. The air condition is cold and damp clothes have me wrapping my arms around myself in a poor attempt to keep myself warm. I couldn’t stop thinking about the tattoo on Shane’s chest.Had I set everything into motion by coming here?Shane hops in next to me and pulls me into his embrace. Not only was I by the man who has killed my mate in the past, but I was also in the arms of the villain that knew he won in the end. Was this whole plan doomed from the beginning?The car shakes side to side as Shane hops in next to me. He pulls me into his embrace and as much as I don’t want to, I accept the warmth his body gives me. His hand slides down my arm and when he feels the goosebumps he tells Liam to turn up the heat.I refused to speak first and Shane didn’t

    AdeaThe crunch of the gravel under their feet was a sign that Devin and Liam were following close behind us. Shane held my hand tightly as we headed towards the packhouse. As soon as we were inside, Shane spoke.“You’re dismissed.”He didn’t look back at them, didn’t show them the least bit of respect they deserved for being loyal to him. He kept his eyes on me as if I were the only thing that mattered in the world.As we crossed through the sitting room and headed for the stairs, I realized how tired I was. When we made it to the second floor, my feet ached and my body was itchy. The wet material clung to my body and I was ready to get out of this dress.I hadn’t really slept last night and I didn’t eat until he took me out to the Iron Pot. It was late and I wanted nothing more than to hop into bed. Would I be sleeping in that dressing room or would I get my old room back?I didn’t really care which one I got. I was looking forward to knocking out and not having to deal with my pani

    AdeaThe water bounced off his well-defined body and I did my best to keep my eyes above his waist. He didn’t need to see me come in to know that I had walked in. Shane leaned over and got two pumps of shampoo in his hand. I watched as he straightened and lathered it between his hands before lifting his muscular arms and running it through his hair. Turning towards the downpour of water, I got a look at his broad shoulders and back.Despite the marred skin, Shane had put in work, he was all muscle. Before my eyes could dip any lower, I turned away. I was thankful for the loud noise coming from the water and let out a shaky breath.I wasn’t wearing anything under this dress ad before I could question my next move, I slid one strap off of my shoulder, followed by the second strap. My fingers tremble as they grab the hem of my dress and I take a deep breath as I commit.I pull it up and over my head, discarding it on top of Shane’s shorts in the hamper. Turning back to the shower, I watc

    AdeaI’m not fooling anyone, we can both see my chest rising and falling, and I know he sees my hardened peaks. I don’t know when it happened but I’ve taken a few steps back. When my backside pressed against the cold tile, I cry out. It’s still sensitive from the slap and Shane’s hand is on my hip pushing me back into the wall.I try not to look but it’s hard not to. Something long, hard, and intimidating is pointing at me. My body is hot as my hips move with the rhythm and something I don’t name starts building.Shane doesn’t let me squirm away and my mind goes blank as he picks up the pace. He finds an unforgiving rhythm as his fingers rub harsh circles into my clit. I can’t help the whimper that falls from my lips as my body starts to wriggle under his touch. I reach out to grip his wrist in hopes of stopping him. He doesn’t bat an eye and his fingers still keep up their fierce torment.“Shane,” I plead.Shane’s gaze leaves my spread legs as he looks up at me, his hair cascading do

    AdeaWater streamed down my face and into my eyes blurring my vision. Shane’s chest expanded and retracted with his labored breathing. Peeking up through my lashes, I stare at him through the bubbles.“What?” I asked.“As much as I want your pretty hands wrapped around my dick, or see you on your knees in front of me, Ady, we’re not doing this. The moment you touch my cock, with your hands or with that sweet mouth, is the moment I bend you over and fuck you until you’re screaming my name. I’ve waited so long for that that my restraint is holding on by a thin thread. So please, for the love of the Goddess, please do NOT touch me unless you’re ready for me to take you hard and fast.”“I never said that I wasn’t—”“Don’t try and bullshit me, Ady. I may not be a gentleman, and I may have done some unforgivable things in your eyes but that’s not what I want to do now. I know how I’ve been with you in the past. That’s not how I want us… that’s not how I want to start things with you now aft

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Death

    EthanI’d spent way too much time scouring the city looking for her. It was around mid-day when I realized there was no way she was here. I kept kicking myself over not leaving earlier. She told me she hadn’t left and that she wouldn’t leave but even as she said the words I knew she was lying. Deep down, I knew she was doing something.I couldn’t stop wondering how long she’d been planning this. The insecure part of me thought she gave up on me and left me. After seeing that prick at the meeting, had she changed her mind about me? Could a mated wolf even do that? I felt stupid for questioning it. There was no part in wondering because I should know better. My Adea wouldn’t do that.Knowing she was away from home, unguarded, kept me going. I worried for her safety and I wished she would have talked this through with me. When I couldn’t find her in town or outside of the pack lands, I started to panic.Elijah wanted me to shift so we could run. He thought it would be quicker but we need

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Deny deny deny

    Ethan This whole scenario didn’t make sense. I shook my head. My Queen wasn’t making any sense. It wasn’t just rejecting me because she didn’t love me. It had to be because she was sparing me. She has no reason to do that unless… My mind was racing and I sat up straight in the corvette. Had she tried to reject me and break our bond in hopes of saving me from her death? That was ludicrous. She was too young to die. Had she set out on this, with the thought of it being a suicide mission? Had my mate decided to die? Was she being that stupid? There’s no way she would. No, wait. I needed to look at the facts before going to her defense. Was she being that stupid? No, there’s no way she would. We had agreed on the plan we had set into motion. I wanted to deny deny deny but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Not only had she left her warm bed, but also left the security of her back, and journeyed alone without her bodyguards to enemy lines. She walked straight across e

    EthanI wasn’t going to sit here all day wallowing in self-pity. She may not know that I’m here but she was counting on me and I wasn’t going to disappoint. I didn’t care that she’d left me, I didn’t care that she had crossed enemy lines and I didn’t care that she was with him. Adea was my mate, my Luna, and my Queen. I was going to take her home and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Not any of these pathetic excuses for warriors and definitely not that waste of space who thought he was an Alpha now.Disregarding my fears as much as possible, I pushed the thoughts are far back as I could, I ignored the painful pang in my chest and the possibility that she wouldn’t want me. Looking to the skies, I impatiently watched the sun as it slowly started to set over the horizon. The cool breeze that only night could bring was melting into the hot humid air of the day.The closer the sun got to the horizon the more anxious I became. My Beta was supposed to be here by sundown but I coul

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Epilogue

    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

  • The Forbidden Alpha   I love you

    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

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Over

    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
