AMBER TRIGGER WARNING
I can do this. I can do this. In the past week, I have been kidnapped, almost sold, and face to face with death. I can ride on a plane to an unknown destination at four in the morning... Sure.
The flight attendant offers me another sweet smile as she passes me, but I don't return it. I'm too emotionally drained to even fake happiness. Dad wouldn't even tell me where I was going. He just rushed me to the gate and kissed my forehead. And when I had given him a hug, he had crushed me to him like we would never see each other again. Which, for all I know, we won't.
I decide to curl up in my seat and stare out the window even though the sky is still too dark to see anything. Drifting off in uninterrupted thought seems like a nice escape.
Especially since dad took my phone, he claimed anyone could track it. He had handed me a large envelope with bundles of hundred-dollar bills instead and told me to purchase everything I need with cash. He even told me to avoid all my typical shampoos and fragrances. He said it would allow them to find me easier. Ken's going away folder was smaller than mine. Dad had just opened him a bank account to use while he was with Aunt Michelle. Apparently, we both had substantial savings accounts before this all happened.
When I asked dad when he had prepared all this, he told me as soon as the police station called him from Kentucky, saying they had me. That's why he wasn't home when I got there; he was still out making arrangements at midnight.
As time passes, my exhaustion begins to take over. I slowly allow my eyes to close, trusting that at least for the plane ride, I will be safe.
LUCIAN
"What did you say," I roar as Agent Tran stutters through his findings of when he got to the Gavens' property.
"Alpha Bishop, please try to understand. This is a simple case of a father protecting his child," the imbecile says, and my fist makes a perfectly round hole in my desk.
"So not only is his daughter an expert with fire...so is her father," I snarl, and the line falls silent.
"Alpha Bishop, I will check with the Office and see if Senator Gavens is in...Maybe the fire at his residents was purely accidental," Agent Tran finally says in a perfect customer service tone that makes me want to reach straight through the phone.
"As far as your further involvement, Tran........it isn't needed. In fact, if I were you, I would go into hiding. Not only do I plan to bury the SNCA in paperwork, but I also plan to locate my mate. By whatever means necessary, Agent Tran. If I were you, I would alert your superiors to the rampage I am about to unleash on the unsuspecting human population. One of my pack females has already been a victim of my mating fever, Tran..... I don't plan on having another werewolf victim," I threaten before slamming my office phone down on its receiver.
"KOHN," I shout, and I hear my Beta's feet instantly running up the stairs.
"Yes, Alpha," Kohn immediately says as he opens my office door.
"You and I are going to Senator Gavens office. Ruben and the team are to go to the Gavens estate. According to Agent Tran, they will find nothing but embers...but they have to start somewhere. I'm thinking the old man shipped her off somewhere. Tell the IT team to start hacking the airline companies. If they don't find anything, try the buses. I am activating our sleeper cells! She will be found. You have five minutes to be ready to leave," I order, and Kohn bolts from my office after bowing.
"JOLENE," I roar as the mating fever begins to fight against the sole mate cuff I kept on.
I hated how weak I felt with both on. And since I foolishly assumed my mate would be back in my possession today, I took one off. Now, if I leave this room without being satisfied, every female downstairs is vulnerable.
"Yes, Alpha," Jolene comes running in as my eyes go yellow gold.
"Come here," I order, and she comes towards me without a hint of hesitation.
Lust begins to sparkle in her eyes, and I instantly unzip my fly. She goes to kiss me, but I block her attempt. I spin her around chest to the desk. I rip her ass, hugging shorts down, and plunge into her already sopping wet heat.
She screams as I growl viciously. My teeth descend a bit, and I clamp my jaw on her neck. I don't mark her by piercing the skin, but my mating fever is raging enough to behave as if she is my correct mount.
"Yes! Alpha, Mark me as yours! Allow me to receive your knot," Jolene screams, and I growl threateningly.
I pick up my pace to bring my climax closer, and she whines at how brutal my thrusts are. Right as she thinks I will mark and knot her, I pull out and deposit my seed on her ass.
"Alpha," Jolene asks with a hint of desperation in her voice as I zip my pants and head towards my door to leave.
"I have no plans to mate you, Jolene. And a knot can only be produced for a wolf's true mate...if you were a male, you would know that," I growl as she gasps.
"I held your neck to keep your pussy where I wanted it. Your communal vagina is nice, Jolene, but all you are is a whore for my pleasure," I admit while buttoning my blazer and stepping out in the hall.
I need to grab that other cuff before we leave the house.

Kohn pulls my red Camaro into the parking lot, and I growl as I see a vehicle in Senator Gavens parking space.
"If this idiot is here," I say not even caring to finish my sentence.
I unbuckle the pointless belt I have to wear so human police don't pull us over and get out before Kohn has even turned off the ignition. I stride into the satellite building the senator and a few other agencies use in this state with one thing on my mind......... murder.
Senator Gavens scent is pouring from behind his office door, and I smirk as I break it down with one kick. His receptionist screams, but I ignore her because behind a glass wall is my prey.
The offices here are all set up the same, wooden door to the main hall with a plaque to indicate whose office it is, a small desk just beyond that with a receptionist, and then a glass office that holds whatever pompous self-entitled human whose name is on the door.
"Kohn restrained the bitch," I snarl, and my Beta immediately grabs the hysterical skimpy dressed human.
I rip the glass and steel door from its henges as I enter his little hovel. I watch him begin to shake uncontrollably as he looks from me to Kohn.
"Hello, Senator Gavens...How is your morning going," I ask sarcastically as I come to stand in front of his desk?
He gulps but manages to reduce his tremors.
"I am not doing that well. Last night my family was victimized by a hate group," he says, and I laugh.
"A hate group? How sad? Where any of your children injured," I ask as I grab his computer monitor and throw it.
I need to break something, and it can't be him just yet.
"Luckily, my oldest is actually out of state, and my youngest is being held by some local law enforcement. She ran away at the start of the week," Gavens says as sweat begins to bead on his forehead.
I growl before holding my hand out towards Kohn. He immediately shoves the crying woman into my waiting palm.
"That's wonderful. Now...Senator...why is your receptionist dressed so provocatively........Have you already moved on from your wife? Ovarian cancer, was it not," I growl as I yank the female in front of me.
Senator Gavens's face looses what color it has left, but anger flashes in his eyes.
"Do not speak of my wife! Ever," he says, and I lift my lip to show off my growing teeth.
"Or what," I snarl, and he blanches.
I wait a moment before reaching forward and ripping the woman's blouse in half. Her chest falls out for Gaven to see, but he doesn't even spare her a glance. His eyes are locked on me.
"I will make you a deal, Gaven. You give me my mate, or I show you what happens to a werewolf in mating fever. I can promise you your little girlfriend here won't like it," I snarl, and he glances at her briefly.
As I watch the conflicting loyalty battle in his eyes, I know he won't break without at least some blood.
I shove the sobbing woman forward so hard her face smacks against Gavens's solid wood desk. But now, she is bent over it just like Jolene was bent over mine a few hours ago.
"Kohn, remove my cuffs," I order, and he immediately lifts my pant legs.
Gavens's face begins to panic as my eyes shift to yellow and my body starts to expand as it shifts into my stronger form.
"Last chance," I growl before I lose my voice completely.
But just as a true father would, Gavens doesn't crack. He locks eyes with the receptionist he has clearly been banging.
"I'm sorry, Angela....but my daughter means the world to me," he whispers, and I sink my claws into her back.
She screams, and he attempts to grab my hands, but Kohn is on him quickly. All human thought leaves as I begin to scent the room in hopes of catching Amber's smell. My cock grows into a massive solid rod, and my attention drifts down to the warm female shivering and struggling before me.
My wolf head tilts as I bend down to smell her. She isn't mine, but she will do to milk the cum from my balls. She will do in curbing the desire to have my mate underneath me. My claws exit the flesh on her back, and I tear the tight skirt away to reveal her commando state. I growl approvingly as I begin to rub my tip against her.
"Please no," she cries, and I snarl at her disobedience.
She should feel lucky to have an Alpha. She isn't my mate, but she should still feel honored.
I grab her hair and growl before plunging into her. She screams, and the human male in the corner begins to struggle. My attention only briefly shifts to him. He isn't a threat. Even while rutting, I could kill him.
"I could cuff him... Save her sweet little pussy from further damage. All you have to do is turn her over," I hear my packmate say to the human.
Rage bubbles within me as I remember my mate isn't with me but lost. I begin to rutt harder and faster, not caring about my claws and how far they are digging into the female in front of me.
"AND SUBJECT MY DAUGHTER TO THAT MONSTER! NEVER," the human male yells, and I roar at his tone.
"She is his mate. She will never suffer like your precious Angela is. He could never physically hurt her. He is like this due to his fever. This isn't how wolves normally fuck you stupid swine," Kohn growls, and I grunt in agreement with my Beta.
My balls begin to tighten, and I waist no time in spilling my seed. My packmate instantly approaches me while I am still wedged within her pussy. He places cuffs on my ankles, and I feel my body get weaker.
I allow the female to slide to the floor as my mental capacity returns to normal. My body begins to decrease in size, and Gavens eyes me with open disgust.
"Kohn, your turn," I order as soon as I can speak.
Kohn sends me a brief look of reluctance, but he knows this is about breaking Gavens. I need my mate, and Kohn knows our pack will never be complete without his Luna.
"In wolf form," I order to make it easier on him. He can turn his human mind off and go beast just like I did.
"Oh please, no. Show mercy. She is unconscious and bleeding all over," Gavens pleads, and I place a fake smirk on my face.
"Oh I know...but this isn't gonna stop until you tell me what I want to know, Senator," I snarl before grabbing him like Kohn had.
I even position his head to where he can't look away from Kohn grey beast form. Although I hope my statement makes him break, I have no intent in following through.
If Gaven doesn't spill while Kohn is raping her, then there is no need to continue. If he doesn't sacrifice Amber's location at the thought of it continuing, then he won't sacrifice it at all, and I will have to begin his torture. ........
Which will permanently drive a wedge between my mate and whatever relationship we can ever have.
AMBER When I get off the plane, I am pleasantly surprised to see a man holding a sign with my name. Dad really did think of everything. "Hi, Umm, I'm Amber," I say self consciously while adjusting my backpack. He meets my eyes and nods but doesn't utter a word while producing an oversized jacket from his own backpack. He hands it to me and grunts like an animal. I throw it over my arm, but alarm bells are going crazy in my head. This guy is weird. "Umm, thanks...Where am I," I ask cautiously, and he tilts his head as if he doesn't understand English. We both stay frozen for a moment before he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper with my name on it. He hands it to me, and I awkwardly shift the jacket to read it. Dear Amber, Hey Baby girl. I hop
LUCIAN "You better have good news, Ruben," I snarl before turning to look over my haggard appearance in my bathroom mirror. Nearly a month of searching while cuffed has been awful. The constant silver on my body is affecting the color of my skin and my appetite, but at this point, if I remove the cuffs, every female in the house will be in danger. My beast form will rage and attack anything with a vagina. My mating fever is so far gone Kohn can't even venture into my room for too long. I have to be near her soon, or I will have to forfeit my Alpha position. "I do, Alpha. Our sleeper cell in Alaska has had their eyes on a Lone Wolf for years. Recently he has taken up with a human female. But according to reports, the female didn't match Amber's description...with no other leads, I came up North to check for myself...Alpha...It's her. A lone male wolf has her out in a cabin in Alaska. He dyed her hair dar
LUCIANThe pathetic mutt bit me. ME! I can't remember the last time someone landed such a devastating blow to my body. Ruben and Kohn grab him as I recover and the sight of them pinning him makes me grin.I'm going to enjoy ripping his puny intestines out, especially since I can still smell his desire for my mate over the blood from our brief fight. But before I can reach my prey, my dark-haired little mouse bolts in front of him with her arms out. Which stops me dead in my tracks. Shock, anger, and jealousy roll through my body as I watch the female that is supposed to be mine defend another. She should be happy to see me! She shouldn't be protecting the packless wolf. He is weak. She should be throwing herself into my arms and kissing me with those perfect lips."Please don't. If you let him live, I will never try to escape again.....If you kill him, I will try every chance I get
AMBERI've been awake for at least an hour now, and the fact that the monster hasn't spoken or even acknowledged me is unsettling. He has just been sitting in his chair by the window drinking. His eyes haven't shifted to me once, and I know that for a fact because my fear won't let me take my eyes off of him.I want to ask about Thatcher and my father, but I'm too scared to learn the truth. Plus, opening my mouth at all might make him focus his attention on me....and that's the last thing I want.Finally, he moves to stand, and my body, of course, tenses. He places his glass of liquor down on a small round side table before facing me."For the next five minutes, you are to listen to my every word. If you don't, there will be consequences. Do you understand," he growls, and I nod my head."Answer me by saying Yes, Alpha or No, Alpha," he growls, and I swallow the spit that
LUCIAN (R-rated) Trigger Warning I growl again as I pace outside my spare closet that now houses my mate. Her sobs haven't stopped since she has been in there, and guilt is tearing me apart. A tiny sliver of me is happy I hurt her, while the other part....the bigger part of me, feels physically ill. Watching her break wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be, and Kohn's constant glances of disbelief made me feel like crap. Towards the end of her torture, I had wanted to scoop her up and rock her. I had wanted to beg for forgiveness, but I had held firm by picturing Lucifer smiling. I grab my hair and pull it before heading for the whiskey I was sipping earlier. I need to distract myself from her pain. I need to focus on my own. I grab my glass and toss back its contents. I swore revenge. I promised it while holding my brother's body, so no matter how tempting my little mouse is,
LUCIAN POV "She heard me put Jolene in her place," I growl as soon as Kohn finishes reading our refineries report. "How did you put her in her place," Kohn immediately asks, and I lean back in my chair while sighing. "Jolene showed me disrespect, and I rutted her to put her back in her place," I snarl, and Kohn falls into my other office chair. He groans while shaking his head. "You have a mate now, Lucian. Rutting to show dominance isn't an option for you anymore," Kohn says as if he is talking to a teenage pup. I growl to show my displeasure, but even to my ears, the growl sounds weak. "It's how I have always kept the of age females in line. But after the anger faded and my instincts vanished, all I could focus on was her crying.....Why the fuck did I get a human,"
AMBER POV "Why hasn't she woken up? The healer left over an hour ago. She needs to wake up, Kohn. I am seconds away from going on a rampage," The monster snarls, and my brain immediately responds by becoming scared. All my senses go on full alert, and I do a quick evaluation of my body while they talk. I mentally focus on each part of myself from my feet up. The only thing I can find wrong is my head. It hurts, especially in the back. I must have fallen when I fainted. "She is weak, Lucian. He said it looks like she hasn't eaten in about three days...pair that with the blood loss, concussion, and stress..... Wait, you hear that," the guy named Kohn asks, and I go cold. "Yes! Little mouse, open your eyes," the monster orders, and I immediately want to shout no. I want to shake my head and stick out my tongue, but instead, I comply.
LUCIAN POV ( rated R) How fucking dare she talk to me like that. First, she calls me a monster, and then she blatantly refuses to eat? She must have a death wish. "Ruben," I call, and feet sound on the floor below. He runs up the stairs quickly, and I look him over. He reeks of the servant, Dany, but I don't comment. Now that I know my third's story, I feel ashamed I hurt the girl... A feeling that is becoming more and more frequent now that I have Amber. "Gather everyone. I have an announcement to make," I order, and he nods his head before spinning on his heel. Irritation is coursing through me as Amber's face remains the focal point in my mind. She has found a weak point in my armor, that's for sure. How do I force a human to eat? I need her healthy...she is my mate. I hate seeing h
"Please, Selene, slow down. Where are we going," I ask as the Goddess in front of me practically sprints down the wide corridor? Selene makes no sign of hearing me and presses forward at the same speed. Forcing me to run to keep up with her. It continues like this for a while until she reaches a door that looks like it has been carved out of the night sky. Stars included. "Wow," I breathe out in amazement. Selene stops and brushes her hands over her long white dress before finally looking at me. The stark difference in her Goddess appearance and her mortal appearance is still a little unnerving to me, but I am adjusting. Gone is the brunette hair and blue eyes I met in the fairy pit. In their place is nothing but black. Black hair. Black eyes. The angelic face is still the same, but the colors are all wrong. But I must admit I have grown to like the pitch-bl
LUCIAN POV "What was mommy like," Octavius asks as he skips next to me excitedly. I look down at my five-year-old son as thousands of memories begin to play over in my mind. His light blue eyes stare up at me, waiting, and I gulp before answering him. "She was wonderful. She had a kind heart and cared about the wellbeing of others more than she cared about herself," I manage to whisper, and he gives me her signature smile. "I wish I got to meet her," he says, and I smile at the innocent wish before continuing down the familiar path. "You did meet her. You just don't remember her. You and her were both very special to the werewolf species, so she had to leave us after bringing you into the world. But you did meet her, son," I explain for what seems like the millionth time. He nods, already knowing my words are true
LUCIAN POV "I don't know, Kohn. She's only nineteen. How can her body do this? I mean, have you seen Mouse. She is tiny. I don't like it. I should have never knotted her. She can't do this! And if my child kills her, I will never be able to love it," I growl as I pace back and forth in my office. All my fears over the past few months are exploding out of me. Something about the labor is terrifying me. I don't know if it's the pain she will experience or something else. But I am scared of my pup coming. I glance over at Kohn and grit my teeth. He is watching me sympathetically, but he is just like all the others. He has held off having a pup with his mate, just so his wouldn't be born cursed, just like all the other members of my pack. They are all excited to have my Little Mouse go through childbirth. They don't care that it has been a difficult pregnancy for her. They don't care that her
AMBER POV I can't stop pacing. Three minutes has never felt so long. I mean, it's only 180 seconds. Why does it feel like I have been pacing this bathroom for an hour? Probably because I have. I mean, it took me at least an hour just to work up the courage to take this damn test. Another fifteen minutes to convince my bladder it was okay to pee. Then another thirty minutes for me to drop that pee on the test. I glance down at my timer and groan when I see that I have 36 more seconds. I need to know now. I need to know if the miracle that will free all werewolves is growing inside of me. "Knock, knock," Marie says from the other side of the door, and I pull it open. She quickly slides in and shuts the door behind her. "Does he know," I ask, and she shakes her head. "I told him you we
AMBER POV R-Rated My hands slide over the small silky piece of fabric I chose to wear tonight nervously. I can't believe it's happening. Tonight the ache in my chest will be connected to Lucian. We will experience the same type of connection Lupin had with his mate. We will become one! A special bond meant to repair all future werewolves. I meet my own gaze in the mirror and smile. My graduation makeup has held up pretty well, and my hair still looks nice. I can do this. I can accept my mate's knot and get marked. I have experienced being marked before, and Marie said that when it happens, you are too consumed with pleasure to feel the pain. I can become a true Alpha female. I have trained for this position. And it isn't like Lucian, and I haven't touched and kissed before. This is just the next step. The rightful step. "Mouse, are yo
THIRD-PERSON "I can't believe my baby sister is graduating," Kenny yells as he grabs Lucian's shoulders and shakes them excitedly. Lucian grins but keeps his excitement to himself. Today his mate finishes high school. Marie graduated last year, so Lucifer isn't here to enjoy this moment with his brother, but Lucian is happy about that fact. He has been waiting for this day for two years, just as Senator Gavens has. Gavens didn't have any faith in Lucian's self-control for one second during these past two years. He thought his daughter would graduate mated to a werewolf, but he was wrong. Lucian held true to his promise to wait, and that fact has built a good foundation of friendship between the two. "She looks so grown up down there," Kenny squeals before screaming out Amber's name and waving. Lucian smirks as he w
AMBER POV My leg is bouncing up and down faster and faster as my excitement builds and builds. I can't believe I am about to see my dad and Kenny after all this time. I knew I would never see my dad again, but I thought Kenny was lost to me as well. "Excited," Other -Amber asks from the backseat, and I nod before looking back towards her. "Very. I know to them it's only been five days, but for me, it's been three years. I am so excited to see them I could dance. I am worried about Lucian explaining what he did...but don't worry, my dad is amazing, and my brother, Kenny, is a sweetheart. All their anger will be directed at these two," I say, gesturing towards our two quiet mates, and she smiles. "Telling your father the truth is the best option. The two of you completing your education is important, and if we are to see you every day....your father n
LUCIAN POV How could I have ever harmed her? She looks so fragile. She can't weigh more than one hundred and fifteen pounds. All it took was an hour in her presence for me to come to my senses. This little female is mine. She was made to be mine. No matter if she is a human or leopard. Yesterday I was cursing the Goddess for giving me such a young human for a mate, but now none of that matters. I only had to be around her for an hour for me to feel nothing but compassion for this tiny creature. How could I have possibly hurt her? How did I stand to make her cry? Even if I lost Lucifer, I shouldn't have been able to stand it. It must have been because I met her while I was already grieving. But that doesn't matter now. She is mine. Her timeline doesn't exist. Her timeline has vanished, along with my lust for anyone but her. I can't even imagine touching another female now that I have
AMBER POV "After you made me eat, my friend, I wasn't able to eat anything, so I got real weak. I guess I freaked you and Kohn out because you actually called a human doctor here to check on me...The next part is a little rough, but it was the turning point in our relationship," I say softly as I meet Lucian's eyes again. His deep brown eyes lose a little bit of their hardness, and I sigh before continuing. "I don't know if it was Kohn or you, Lucian, but after the doctor came, you decided I needed to see the house and learn about werewolves. You wanted me to meet the pups to properly understand where you come from also. So Kohn explained how Selene cursed her ex-lover, Lupin. And then he took me on a tour of the house. During the tour, I met Jolene and Tabitha. Your little bed partners...they growled at me, and you attacked Jolene. I begged you not to kill
