“Where am I?” Iris asks as light blinds her.She remembers her and Joey in the woods, under the full moon for her first shift.“I want to kiss my perfect mate,” Joey smiles at her, running his fingers through her dark black hair.Iris had smiled sweetly and leaned in, so their lips touched effortlessly.Their tongues massaged each other as their hands explored each other’s bodies.He had seduced her by kissing and sucking on her marking spot. She can still feel his fingers as they fumbled inside of her preparing her for him. As her eyes adjust to the light, Iris hears his voice.“May I make love to and mark my perfect mate?” Joey’s calm breathes increased her desire for him.“Yes, make me yours forever,” Iris whispered back.They quickly undress. Iris thought he would be gentle, but he was not.She wasn’t ready when he took her virginity, but it started to feel good after a few thrusts.“Iris, you are amazing,” Joey whispers to her. “You feel so good.”He sped up, making her moan.“Joey, I think it’s time,” Iris moans and opens her neck.She thought he was marking her as she exploded in pleasure, but now, she is in a meadow, bright with sunlight, blinding her.She forgets her perfect memory. She guesses she passed out while he marked her and now she is dreaming.“You are dead,” A tall, slender woman with silver hair and dark skin tells her pointedly.“No, I was with my mate, he marked me,” Iris protests harshly.The woman scoffs. “No, the prick you felt wasn’t his canines, it was a needle. He injected you with wolfsbane and silver. He killed you at the height of your orgasm. See.”She points to a pool, where Iris sees Joey still naked, but not alone with her. He and her stepsister Ingrid are laughing as they throw a naked and lifeless Iris into a hole.“With Iris out of the way and Darius dead, you and I will be the new Alpha and Luna,” Ingrid runs her hands through Joey’s hair, making him hum in pleasure at her touch. “I know what you had to do to get her guard down. Want to make love to a real woman?”Iris turns away as Ingrid and Joey have passionate sex on the ground near the hole Iris’s body lays in.Iris feels sick as the sounds of their passion increase to a fever pitch.“Yes, Joey, YES,” Ingrid cries and Joey grunts. “Mark me, Baby.”“Will you mark me?” Joey’s voice once soothing and loving, now grates Iris’s ears.“Yes, my love, oh, YES,” Ingrid moans.Iris peeks as her mate marks her stepsister. She sees the satisfying look on Ingrid’s face. Ingrid’s eyes actually wonder to the hole where Iris lays. Ingrid smirks before biting into Joey.“Why is this happening?” Iris asks the silver haired lady, while crying a fountain of tears.The woman laughs. “You believed that Daria and Ingrid were meant to be your saviors. No matter how many signs I sent your stupid father. Now you and he both have paid the price. Only, I brought you here. Your father on the other hand, well he has to work his way here.”“What are you talking about?” Ingrid asks.“You are part of a game,” the lady starts, but is interrupted by a familiar voice.“Can you two pull away from each other long enough to help me with this Alpha idiot?” Daria’s sweet angelic voice draws Iris to look back.Daria, her stepmother, who had cared so much, who had loved her so well, is dragging Iris’s father, Daris, to the hole in the ground.“Sorry, we marked each other,” Joey kisses Daria’s cheek. “I would have carried him for you, Baby.”Joey then drags Darius to the hole and throws him in. When he turns back, he draws Daria to him by sticking his finger in her cleavage and pulling. Their lips crash as if they had kissed before.“We need to test the theory that chosen mates can’t feel betrayal,” Daria smirks, stroking Joey knowingly.“Do I have to watch?” Ingrid asks bored.“You can or you can turn away. The only thing we care about is if can you feel it,” Daria pulls Joey to her.“Is he going to…?” Iris asks, her stomach turning.Soon, the sounds of passion fill the space again.Iris actually throws up, realizing Joey and her stepmother are having sex.“I know, disgusting,” The woman holds Iris’s black hair back and rubs Iris’s back.“Why? Why is this happening?” Iris asks again, screaming and choking on tears.“It’s a little complicated. I’ll tell you what I can. You get three chances to make it right. I am sorry to say I agreed to a game with the god of the Sea. He says his creations are stronger than mine. Daria has already been re-born once. If she fails twice more, I win. So, you get to go back,” the lady tells Iris. “You get three chances. If you can’t defeat Daria and Ingrid, then I lose, and you stay dead.”“What if I can defeat them? I don’t want Joey back. He is sick,” Iris shutters.The lady laughs. “Okay. I can’t promise it will be easy, but I promise to find you a love they will write legends about.”“If I win, will Poseidon be angry with me?” Iris asks.The woman thinks, “Most likely. So, I will give you a mate who can defeat him if needed. I think I know? I know just the guy. Oh, and I am giving you an old wolf, Zaphyra. She is ancient, like my rivalry with Poseidon. She will be with you as soon as you are reborn, but no one will sense her. Not until you turn 18. She will just be there to guide you.”“You are Selene?” Iris asks, her eyes widening in shock.“The very only one,” Selene smiles showing off her perfect smile. “Poseidon has been angry ever since humans claim the moon controls the tides. I’m sorry he chose your pack.”“So, what does Daria failing look like?” Iris asks, wiping her eyes and preparing for the battle ahead.“You and your father alive and her dead,” Selene tells her. “Now the rules say I can only send you back three months and other than giving you a strong wolf, I can’t enhance you at all. So, when you get back you have to enhance yourself.”“Daria will never allow me to train,” Iris says, rolling her eyes. “I’m too delicate.”“You will have to find a way. If you defeat her twice, then you win, we win. And I promise you a happily ever after.”Iris takes a deep breath. “Okay, let’s do this. Take me back three months ago.”“Any news?” Huck asks Teresa. She is behind the front desk of Killin It Gym. Huck is all sweaty with his hair falling into his face.“Your hair is sexy as hell like that,” Teresa tells him. Huck has just finished his work out. “Sawyer thinks so too,” Huck jokes. It looks like a lot of humans are finding werewolf mates,” Teresa reports and shows Huck a new article about young women being kidnapped and returned after a week with a bite and completely in love with a new man. “The humans don’t know what to make of this.”“What are you two talking about?” Sawyer asks joining them. “This,” Huck shows him. “Wolves?” Sawyer asks. “Yes,” Teresa tells them. “So far none of the girls are crying about mistreatment.” “I thought wolves treated their mates like queens,” Huck raises his eyebrows. “My concern is when its females who cant be away from their mate,” Teresa tells them. “You guys have fragile egos.” “You think a woman wanting to jump a guy is a turn off?” Huck smirks.“This one lo
“I told you so….” Collins teases a very pregnant Iris. “Teresa says Sawyer and Huck are a regular couple. All love, hugs, kisses, and everything.”Iris leans back with her eyes closed, clearly not thinking about the humans and their problems.“I am over here spilling tea and you are ignoring me. Hello,” Collins snaps his fingers at Iris.“My contractions have started, shut the fuck up,” Iris tells him, breathing deeply.“Oh, is it time for Titan, or should we be waiting a while longer?” Collins sits beside her and rubs her belly.“I mindlinked him. He and Adrian are finishing up and then he is heading this way. We have time. They are about 20 minutes apart,” Iris tells him.“Well, I will stay with you, hold your hand, feed you ice, rub your back, whatever you need,” Collins smiles at her.“Right now, I want silence,” Iris tells him.Collins bites his lip, “I’m just gonna go. We both know I can’t to be silent. But I will send Sil in here. She loves Silence. It’s her thing.”Collins run
When Huck and Teresa make it to Sawyer's townhouse, they are both exhausted.“Still love me?” Sawyer asks, answering the door in only pj pants.“Ask me after sleep,” Huck leans in and they kiss.“Show me a bed and leave me alone,” Teresa mumbles.“Upstairs, first door on the left,” Sawyer tells her.“Move the cargo before bed?” Huck asks, and Sawyer nods.They park the car in the garage and move all 2000 rounds into Sawyer’s gun safe.“My retirement papers went through. I am officially retired in 30 days,” Sawyer tells Huck as they close the safe.“Wow. We need to organize a party. Is that on me?” Huck asks, pulling them close together.“When did you become my wife?” Sawyer smirks, kissing his lips.“When you showed me how good a dick in my ass can feel,” Huck laughs.“Oh really, it felt good?” Sawyer teases.“I’m so tired. Let me catch up on sleep and you can bounce on my booty cheeks for hours tomorrow,” Huck offers.“Only if you bounce off mine too,” Sawyer teases as they walk up th
March 1, 1692“John, you cannot judge innocents of witchcraft. You know the craft has no devil in it. But you will bring the devil to it,” Ruth Hathorne tells him. “I am coven mother. Will you condemn me?”“You are a natural born cast, as our children are. Not practitioner of the devil's work,” John Hathorne stands ready to go question the pastor's salve.“You will draw falsehoods from them John and you will be condemned by the coven. I will have to denounce you in front of the coven. My coven will have to go into hiding. You are cursing us,” Ruth tells him again.“Send our son Samuel to live away. He is your heir. When he or his descendant returns, they will take over the coven,” John tells Ruth, who nods.Only hours later, Samuel Hathorne, a seven year old boy, is hurried away to a carriage.“I give you my child and order you to protect him and his line. One day, he or his descendant will come back to Salem to take over. Keep him away from here until this evil has passed us. Keep yo
“Babe, are sure you want to know?” Sawyer asks, before he boards the plane.“I would like to know. Do you care if it's true?” Huck asks.Sawyer shows his boarding pass and badge to the ticket counter and they wave him on.“I don’t personally care. I love you no matter what. But, if you want to know, I want you to know,” Sawyer says as he sits in his seat. “I love you, Babe.”“I love you too, Baby. I’ll call you when I know something. If you are in the air, I will leave a message,” Huck offers.“Perfect. I’ll call when I land,” Sawyer makes a kissing noise into phone.Huck gives a throaty laugh and mirrors the noise.“Talking to you boyfriend?” Wilkes sits down next to Sawyer.“I can’t get away from you, can I?” Sawyer asks.“Well, you see, I am flying to New Mexico to talk to you as well as everyone else. So, we can get our part done on the plane and I can leave you alone when we land,” Wilkes smiles and starts the recorder. “Can you tell me what lead you to Jeremy Whit?”Sawyer clear
“So, why are you flying to New Mexico?” Sawyer asks, putting his book down.“My client could be charged with crimes here. He confessed to the killing of girl here. I’m going down to request extradition after your case is concluded,” The man says. “I’m a DA. Your boyfriend is Finnley Huck right, Detective?”“Yes,” Sawyer nods. “Whit would be his case.”“He requested leave, it was transferred to his lieutenant. Lieutenant Hummer has the case now. He thinks Whit’s guilt is open and shut. Your boy going to be a problem?” The man smirks.“If you piss him off, yes, he will be a problem. Huck isn’t going to like his case being transferred. What is your name?” Sawyer asks.“Assistant District Attorney Wilkes,” Wilkes leans back.Sawyer dials Huck.“I get we said I love you, but don’t you think you are being a little too clingy,” Huck chuckles.“Babe, do you know an ADA named Wilkes?” Sawyer asks.“I know of him, but I have never met him,” Huck answers with a question.“He was the guy on the s
Huck and Sawyer look at each other. They nod and Huck opens the door. Teresa has her hands up.“Hi, I was sent here to spy on you, but I want to talk about your mission and how I can help,” Teresa pushes past them. “Nice robes.”She walks to the kitchen and makes a cup of coffee. The men watch her as she sits at the table, waiting for them.“Teresa?” Huck asks as they sit down.“Yes,” Teresa smiles at him as she sips her coffee. “I was told to become your girlfriend, but I can see that will be difficult.”Sawyer huffs. “Have you ever had a steady girlfriend?”Huck thinks and shakes his head. “I have fuck buddies, but no one I would say I dated.”Sawyer smirks. “He was gay and didn’t realize it.”Huck scratches at his unshaved face thinking, only to realize Sawyer is right.Huck takes Sawyer’s hand. “Want to be my first relationship?”Sawyer stops mid bite to stare at Huck. “What?”Huck leans closer, “I know your age means your ears are going, so let me ask again,” Huck raises his voic
“Checking in, man,” Sawyer says, breaking the three-hour silence between him and Huck as they enter Huck's kitchen.They have been at Huck’s apartment for a while and Huck hasn’t spoken.Huck doesn’t say a word, he just hugs Sawyer. Sawyer feeling fatherly, hugs him back. Well, that is until he feels small kisses on his neck.“Huck?” Sawyer asks.“Shut up,” Huck says, locking their lips.Sawyer kisses him back with force and passion. Huck reaches between them and unbuttons Sawyers jeans. Sawyer mirrors him and does to same.“Lube?” Sawyer asks.“Bedroom,” Huck answers.It’s hot, messy and satisfying for both of them. Neither one wants to stop kissing the other as they explore how they want to relieve the tension between them.As the sun goes down, Huck falls forward onto Sawyers back in almost exhaustion.Sawyer lets out a moan as Huck strokes him to finish.They both lay back on the bed, filled with evidence of their afternoon’s pursuits.“We need showers and to change these sheets,”
Collins is chuckling, knowing he is annoying Iris, when Mars stands in the foyer.“Titan Anderson!” Iris reprimands him. Mars gives her a wolfy grin. “Mars, don't make me get Zaphyra involved!”Mars whimpers and gives Titan control. Titan stays crouched down while a laughing Gavin throws him a blanket.“Huck, what do you think of Mars?” Titan asks, throwing the blanket around himself.Huck looks at Titan, with whom he has worked on a few cases.“I know that wolf, he has been outside my house,” Huck answers. “Why?”“You were getting close to learning the secret. I had to make sure you weren’t a supernatural who would hurt my pack. I cleared you” Titan smiles. “But now I see you are threat. That doesn’t make me or Mars happy.”“And what is your plan on that?” Sawyer asks.“Depends on yours,” Titan answers. “Agree to only go after violent rogues who hurt humans and you can leave here in peace and friendship.
