Xander Her wolf seemed bigger as she stood between Quinn and myself. Her eyes were locked with my brother, almost as if she was communicating with him. That couldn’t be possible! “Stand down!” Jaxon demands. “Tell this twat to leave the pack.” I snarl back “I’m not going anywhere. Look around Xander, half of your pack is already siding with me.” As my eyes flicker across the crowd. I couldn’t help but notice how many of the pack were behind him. So many of them looked at me with disgust. Like they had a new found hatred for me. “Your plan was to take over the pack!” I spit in his direction. It was just like Jaxon had said. Quinn worked against whoever was in charge, somehow turning everyone against their Alpha. “What did you offer them?” He grins at me like a lunatic, “Something that you couldn’t.” “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” “Exactly what it sounds like. No one wants a spoilt brat running a pack.” “And what about me?” Jaxon murmurs as he makes his way towards u
Blue“Why are we running, Jaxon? I don’t understand. Black Moon is yours. We defended it against Quinn and whatever plan he has!”He keeps his eyes on the road in front of him. I knew we were going to Red Moon, but things just didn’t make sense. Plus I was still mad with Anika. She killed so many.“I’m doing this for you.” He mutters.His knuckles are white as he grips the steering wheel. His eyes flash up to the mirror to check that Xander was still following us.“Blue, are you sure you didn’t kill all those people in Midnight Pack?”He is having a laugh, right? Anika mutters“I was a kid. I couldn’t even shift!” I sounded like a whiny child. But I was shocked that he had even asked me.“Blue, you killed more than Xander and I put together, you wiped out an entire pack.”“Anika did!” I snap back, turning away from him.He sighs at me. “I’m sorry, Blue. It’s just a lot to process. But we have to leave. Quinn will likely bullshit everyone. But even if we were to defend ourselves, we s
JaxonOphelia and Carla had stopped arguing. But they both sat with frowns on their faces. Their arms tightly folded around their bodies as they looked in opposite directions.“Did you know?” Xander pushes.“Know what?” I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.“That she is royalty, if that’s what you want to call it.”“Why the fuck would you think that I would know that?”“She spends more time with you. Who knows what she is telling you!”“Xander, did you not see her face? She didn’t have a clue either!” I snap at my brother in annoyance.“Guys, just shut up and let me think.” Carla yells as she leans forward. “Does Quinn know?”“Does he know what?”“That Blue is Royalty? Xander said in the car that Quinn wants her for himself, so does he know?”“If he did, he didn't say anything to me.” I mutter“Carla has a point though. Remember, he told Blue that he knew more about her than anyone else. That he has been researching wolves like her since he first met her.” Xander’s blue eyes
BlueI was half asleep, but I knew what I wanted. I wanted him!The water cascaded down over us, cooling my flaming skin. Suddenly, I didn’t care about the marks on my body. I just wanted him and nothing else.He pulls my hips closer to him. He was already hardening beneath me. Instinctively, my hips grind against his. Jaxon tilts my chin up, forcing me to look at him. The gold flecks in his eyes looked as if they had been electrified.His lips meet mine. They were harder, more forceful than before. He wanted me as much as I wanted him.His fingers lock in my hair as his lips move from mine to my neck. He quickly sinks his teeth into the mark he had already given me. Unlike before, where it had turned me into a giggling mess. It makes the fire within me roar.His rough hands trace over my body. There was no fear. I felt safe with him. Anika felt safe with him.As his fingers skim my hardening nipples, he tilts me backwards. The cold water hits my chest and my senses seem to explode.
JaxonCarla gives me a small smile. Her hazel eyes drop a little as she focuses on her hands. “I just thought you should know.”“And I know you, Carla. You’re not exactly truthful. Long before you were mated to us, you were causing problems.”“I shouldn’t have done that.” She sighs, “Look, I lost my friends too.” She turns to look at Blue. “I know you killed them or your wolf did which I don't fully understand, but it's all because of Quinn. I’m just saying, Ophelia is not telling you something.”“What do you think?” I ask Blue.“It won’t hurt to speak to her.” She shrugs her shoulders and the bed sheet that is wrapped around her slips a little. Her hands fumble to keep it hoisted up.It wasn’t even seven in the morning and already I could tell that this was going to be a shitty day.Blue gets dressed in silence, no longer hiding herself from me. Though she refuses to look at me. Keeping my mouth shut, I let her carry on. Watching her in silence as she pulled leggings on and a blue sw
BlueI was furious with Xander. I hated the way he played these games. I had tried so hard to follow my feelings for him. Unlike Jaxon, he had this strange way of making me feel wanted and rejected at the same time.“There you are!” Ophelia comes to a stop in front of me. Immediately, her arms go up over her chest. Her green eyes lock on to me.“I haven’t got time for this.” I roll my eyes, trying to step around her to get into my room.“What’s Carla been saying about me? I saw her come into your room earlier.”“She was just asking questions.”“Who’s the liar now?” She snorts, shaking her head. “Bet she was trying to turn everyone against me.”Because she’s such a good girl. I feel Anika roll her eyes.“Ophelia. I’m sorry that Anika killed your sister.”No I’m not. She hurt our friend!“My twin.” She spits back“Your twin.” I correct myself. A tiny wave of guilt washes over me. “But don’t you think we have bigger things to worry about right now?”“You’re not going anywhere until you
XanderI couldn’t stand to hear anymore of it. Watching the way they bowed to her. They didn’t even know Blue. They had no idea who they had chosen as their leader.“OPHELIA!”She sticks her head out from around the corner as I storm through the house.“What?” She snaps“She has been made Luna.”“I heard.”“Why were you not out there with the others?” “I could ask you the same thing, Xander?” Her green eyes lock onto mine. “It isn’t just me that is hiding stuff, is it?”“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I mutter, defensively.“Really? I know you and Carla had a thing when you couldn’t get Blue.”“Carla is my ex mate.” I don’t deny or confirm that I had let Carla blow me.“So, if you can’t get your own way with Blue, you go to her.”“This has nothing to do with Carla. Besides, she is too busy sucking up to Blue. Are you working for Quinn?” I was done with playing games, it was time to ask her straight.“No.” Her eyes shifted away from mine and I knew she was lying.“You some
BlueIs he actually being serious? Anika mutters. ‘How the hell am I supposed to know? We all know he plays games.’Then tell him to fuck off!“You’ve lost the plot, Xander.” I mutter, turning away from him.“If I was to grab hold of you, the way my brother does. Would you freeze up or would you feel comfortable?”He has a point?“It’s different with Jaxon. It’s gradually happened.” I try defending myselfHe reaches a hand out and my body automatically moves back a step. He was doing it to prove a point.“You would be happy if I rejected you? Like truly happy?”“I’m not sure if it would make me happy. But I think it’s for the best. Watching you together brings out something in me that I don’t like.”Pussy!“What if it doesn’t work?” A woman had never been the one to reject a mate bond.“There is only one way to find out.”I look back to Emilia’s body. Some of her final words had been about my mark from Jaxon. And the other phrase she used ‘open your mind.’ I still didn’t understand i
