Carson POV I was pissed that Marly was so obedient as to bow to Jenna. I knew this was a problem, and I had no idea how to fix it. Marly would need to be stronger, if she were to take over as Luna. But Jenna would fight all the way to retain the title. It was no secret that the Elders wanted me to take Jenna as my mate. Now that Marly was here, I could not see myself with anybody else but her. It was fucked up. How did I end up mated with an Omega? Anything else would be easy to defend, but an Omega was going to be a challenge. But I loved a challenge, I thought with a smirk. “Marly is not going anywhere,” I found myself saying. I felt like everything was getting away from me. I wanted the chance to see what could happen between Marly and me. I also did not want to hurt her. I knew she had her own doubts in who she was. It made me want her more. Made me want to show her what I saw, when I looked at her.
Marly POV We had spent most of the morning getting me registered for school. They sent my transcript over so we would have a copy. Carson looked at the transcript and then looked at me. “This is incredible,” he murmured, as he looked back at the document in front of him. I had to admit I had a sense of pride at his comment. I had worked hard and had never received any acknowledgement from my family for my efforts. Mind you that just motivated me to do better with my eye on the target of leaving. Now I was away from them, I was one step closer to realizing my dream. “I have some IT work, I would like you to take a look at,” Carson stated. I looked at him in surprise. “You must have a team who does that work?” I questioned. Carson nodded, “I do, but we have had an issue lately that my people cannot seem to figure out,” he admitted. “Like what?” I asked, my curiosity now getting the better of me. “I
Carson POV I cringed at the voice that we encountered. Elder Timothy. The Elder trying the hardest to push me to accept Jenna as my mate and Luna. “Timothy,” I acknowledged, as did Jeff. “And who might these women be?” Timothy asked as he looked down his nose at both women. Pausing, Jeff introduced Sarah. “This is my mate, and our Beta Female,” Jeff said proudly. Timothy stood a little taller, “I hope she is prepared to handle her duties,” the Elder stated rudely. Jeff tensed as Sarah looked visible taken aback. “She is more than prepared for her duties,” Jeff stated angrily. Timothy’s view slowly landed on Marly. I could feel her try to hide behind me. I gently pulled her forward, “I heard you have a mate, Carson. Surely, this is a joke?” he demanded. My anger rose, as I felt Marly shrink in front of him. “No joke, Timothy. And none of your business,” I replied, as I made a move to step around him.
Marly POV My heart raced as I waited to see what Carson’s reaction would be. I was an amateur at hacking, but I had quickly found the discrepancy in the code. What perplexed me was how Carson’s IT team had missed it. Or had they ignored it? I had no idea, but I was anxiously waiting for his reply. “How?” he asked tersely. I looked up at him, as he continued to monitor the screen. “Do you see these letters here?” I asked as I pointed to a particular section. Nodding, “Yes,” he confirmed. “That was built inside the system. If someone were to hack your system, I would see their fingerprints, if you will, in the code,” I summarized. “What happens if you delete it?” he asked. I held my breath for a moment, before slowly releasing it. “It will take us back to whoever’s computer created it,” I stated. “Will you be able to find out who is hacking our system?” he asked. I looked at him, “If someone is in fact hacking it,
Carson POV I felt the bullet slice through the flesh of my skin. It was only a flesh wound, but the feeling of silver in the bullet left a trail of burning flesh. I moved forward, grabbing the shooter by the throat and ripping his head from his body. I should have waited to kill him, but I knew there were others nearby. I waited for the others to call out clear, waiting for Jeff and Sarah to respond as the final team. I heard scuffling and a man shout out in pain. I moved towards the back of the house, to see Jeff and Sarah dragging a man with them. I did not recognize him but would get to know him intimately very soon. Jeff shoved the man towards me, and he fell to his knees. “Why?” I demanded. The man simply laughed at me. I backhanded him, watching blood spurt from his lips. He looked back with a smirk, like he was high. Blood was staining his teeth. “Who are you?” I asked, moving closer to the man.
Marly POV I felt the pain in my head. Throbbing, making me feel nauseous. I tried to sit up, but I realized I was tied down with something. I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were heavy. Like they were weighted down. I tried to connect with Layla, my wolf, but I was met with silence. “She should not wake up for a couple hours. We are fine to leave her alone,” the voice said. I struggled to open my eyes. I was certain I recognized the voice but the fogginess in my brain was preventing me from putting my finger on who it was. Why was the voice so familiar and why did a chill run down my spine? I must have passed out again from the pain. I woke again, feeling a bit better. I was not feeling sick anymore, and I felt a little more alert this time. I slowly peeled my eyes open and was met with a room that was darkening. There was a window in the room, and I could see that the day was turning to night.
Marly POV “How long have I been here?” I wondered. I had not had any food or water. I had only seen the Gamma a handful of times. I wondered if he was just confirming I was still alive. I did not feel like I would be much longer. I was weak and my arms and legs were numb from having been in the same position for so long. I heard voices, and I strained to see what I could hear. I heard mumbling, and the voices were clearer as they got closer to the room where I was being held. I held my breath, afraid of what was on the other side of the door. The doorknob turned and I felt my breath expel quickly. Alpha Luke stood at the door entrance, a smirk on his face. “Aren’t so cocky now are you, Omega?” he taunted. “I was never cocky,” I rasped out, wanting to beat him, but with my hands tied I did not know how it would or could happen. “Of course, but you did not hesitate to leave when you had the chance,” he commented.
Marly POV The pain piercing my flesh was unbearable. I continued to scream, until I felt the Alpha ripped from my body. He took a piece of my flesh with him. Tears were streaming down my face, and then there was another body looming above me. I started to scream again, afraid of what was to come. “Marly! Marly, sweetheart, it is me. It is Carson,” I hear, but his words are not making sense to me. It is a trick. To try and get me to cooperate. It makes me more frantic and even with my arms and legs restrained, I am making it difficult for the man above me to touch me. “Marly!” he yelled, as I started to whimper in fear. Where was Carson? Would he get here in time? I felt the man touch my face, and he brought his face close to mine. “It is me, Marly. I am here, baby,” I heard again. I looked to Carson and scanned his face. “Carson?” I whispered. “It is me, baby, I am here,” he said as he quickly untied my arms and l
Marly POV I could not open my eyes from the pain in my head. What had happened? I had been hit, and I blacked out. But not before I saw her. I was still confused about what had happened, but I needed to open my eyes and figure out where I was. As I opened my eyes, I realized it was pitch black. I was trapped in something. I paused and listened for clues as to where I was. I was moving, but the air was stuffy. I could hear people talking but could not make out what they were saying. I groaned as I tried to focus. I felt the movement slow down and then speed up again. A vehicle. I am in the trunk of a vehicle, I realize. Where are they taking me and why? I cannot sit here and wait for them to stop. I need to try and get out of here. I feel around, trying to feel for a weapon or something I can use if they stop suddenly. Finding nothing, I realize I will need to be the weapon. “I am with you, Marly,”
Marly POV Making love with Carson was the best experience of my life. I had not known that being close with your mate would be so special. It was more than I could have hoped for, and I wanted to do it again, and often, I thought with a chuckle. Carson looked up at me with a questioning look on his face, before his face changed and I could see he was mind-linking with someone. “Fuck!” he muttered, as he moved me gently off his body. I instantly felt cold and alone, “What is wrong?” I asked, getting out of the bed with him. “Rogues,” he said, as he turned to look at me. “You stay here. I will go and see what is going on,” he suggested, as I shook my head. “No, I want to go with you. We both know I am stronger than we thought. I can help,” I said, moving to throw one of his t-shirts over my naked body. “Marly, it is too dangerous to have you shift until we know what is coming at us,” Carson cautioned. I simply stared at him
Carson POV “Yes?” I asked, wanting to confirm what I had heard. Marly smiled shyly, “Yes” she confirmed. I bent down slowly and kissed her lips. They were so soft; I nibbled at them as she moaned against my mouth. I slipped my tongue between her open lips, sliding it against her tongue. Tasting her essence. I felt Marly’s hands move tentatively from around my waist up towards my chest. Her small hands were creating a ripple affect over my body. I felt a heat in the path of her movements. Her fingers went to the buttons of my shirt. She broke our kiss and kissed where she had opened the first button. She continued this as she moved down towards the bottom of the shirt. Standing, she licked her way back up my body, causing my heartbeat pick up in anticipation of what was to come next. She pushed the shirt off my shoulders, and let her fingers move across my body. “You are amazing, Carson,” she murmured as she moved closer
Marly POV I felt sick at the thought of not being who I thought I was. I did not see anything to indicate who my real parents would be. And could I take this as truth? Was it a made-up story in Alpha Luke’s mind? But if I believed that, then nothing I had seen was accurate. I had to believe that what I had seen was real. There were too many details to not have been real. “What do you mean?” Carson asked with concern. “I do not know any more than that. Just that my parents are not my real parents,” I shared. He took me into his arms, “We will figure this out, sweetheart. We will go see your parents, and get to the bottom of it all,” he promised me. I nodded, as we moved away from the Alpha’s body. He was gone and could not hurt me anymore. We walked into the fresh air, and I took a few deep breaths to clean my lungs of the smell of death. Carson pulled me closer, “What do we do now?” I asked softly. “No
Carson POV I felt a chill roll down my spine. Figured what out? We had only figured out what I suspected was one piece of the puzzle. As the cell door opened, we moved towards Alpha Luke. He was still hanging from the silver cuffs attached to the wall, and I could see exhaustion in his body. Holding your weight by your arms was exhausting. Doing so while being beaten, was even more so. Marly started to move forward but I put a hand on her arm, “Wait,” I suggested as she paused to look at me. “The sooner I do this, the sooner we can leave,” she replied, calmly. I knew she was right, and I was proud to see this confidence in her. She stepped forward and moved to touch Alpha Luke’s arm. “Do not touch me!” he scowled, as if knowing what was about to happen. It was too late; she had already touched him. I watched as she slipped into something of a trance. It was like she was watching a movie. Her eyes were closed but you c
Marly POV The woman sat there with tears filling her eyes. “I have a sister? I cannot remember her,” the woman stated. She was upset by this information, and I felt guilty at having to be the one to tell her. “You never knew her. You were separated at birth,” I continued, telling her what I had seen. “What?” she asked, not clear what I was saying. “That is not possible. I knew Cara and her parents,” Carson stated, sounding doubtful himself. “I can only tell you what I saw. I have no idea any other details,” I admitted. “She is lying, Carson. Can’t you see? She wants you for herself. She has done some type of voodoo on you!” the woman cries, looking to Carson. Carson looked conflicted. “I am sorry sweetheart, I am having a really hard time understanding this,” Carson said to me. “Do not believe me – it makes no difference to me. I do know, this woman is not who she claims to be,” I stated confidently. Something was fi
Carson POV I took Marly’s hand in mine and led her back to the woman claiming to be Cara. We walked into the room, with Cara asking for me. She stopped asking when she saw me. Her face lit up until she saw me holding Marly’s hand. “What is this?” she whispered. “Who are you?” I countered. “Carson, you know who I am,” she replied, hurt lacing her words. “I am afraid I do not. There are no sparks between us. I spoke with an Elder who advised the only reason that would be is if you were never my mate to begin with,” I shared with her. I saw her eyes fill up with tears. “I do not understand,” she replied, as tears rolled down her cheeks. I was not immune to her pain. The woman I was looking at was identical to my first mate. I hated to see her in pain, knowing I was partially the cause. But I had to remind myself that she was somehow involved in this trickery. “I do not understand either. I am hoping yo
Marly POV My chest hurt. It hurt to breathe. I had known I was right and nothing would change. To everyone I was a useless Omega. Someone who did not matter. I rushed towards the door, eyeing the exit with hope. I needed to get some fresh air. Something to allow the pain to wash over me. I knew Sarah had wanted to follow me, but I had held my hand up. She had been wrong. Nobody wanted me here, and nobody would care if I disappeared. Just as I was about to reach my goal, I felt a warm hand take my arm. I instantly felt the sparks between us, and I felt betrayed. I whipped around and slammed my fist into Carson’s chest. I knew it would not hurt him, but I was angry at the circumstances. Before I could hit him again, Carson had wrapped his arms around my thrashing body and carried me to an empty room, shutting the door behind him. He simply held me while I cried in frustration. Frustration at the situati
Marly POV I had been working on my studies, trying to remain distracted while I kicked myself in the ass for not going with Carson. The truth was I was killing myself with all the what ifs. At least if I was there, I would know what was happening. I had reread this last text five times and still had no idea what I was supposed to be doing with it. I heard a soft tap on my door, and my heart leapt in my throat. Was Carson back already? I moved quickly to the door, opening it widely. My smile froze as I saw Jenna standing there. “How did you get up here?” I demanded as she stood at the door. “As Luna, I have access to all areas of this pack house,” she stated. I simply stood there, refusing to invite her into my room. After the last experience, I did not want a repeat of that. “What do you want?” I asked. “I wanted to let you know that just because you were safely returned to the Full Moon Pack, you will not take over the r
