Chapter 11 : The Bar

Author: Claire Wilkins
last update Last Updated: 2023-07-01 14:04:15
Kit's POV

The noises Sera made on the phone the other night were living rent-free in my head. I've thought about it all week. Fantasizing about calling her again, just to listen to her. But I didn't. I took Rosie's advice and took a step back.

Sera needed to invite me. I shouldn't be the one coming onto her. As much as it killed me whenever I saw her name pop up in my recent contacts. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Even at work, when I was doing tedious jobs, my wolf would get all excited when my mind wandered off to her again.

It didn't help that tonight was a full moon so my wolf was a bit more restless than usual, but unlike other wolf shifters, it never bothered me much. Probably had something to do with my bloodline. I couldn't complain. While other wolf shifters were out making a fool out of themselves tonight, shifting and sprinting in the woods, I decided to use it to my advantage.

So when I decided to go out with my friends tonight, I didn't expect to see Sera. B

    Seraphina's POVRosie was really hitting it off with a guy at the bar, and while it would've annoyed me that she abandoned me, at least Kit was good company. To be honest, I almost forgot about her. Occasionally Rosie would stroll back over to the table to check on us.Even though she kept making bedroom eyes at one of Kit's friends, at least I felt comfortable knowing she was also keeping an eye on me. Kit and I must've talked for a few hours, not running out of things to talk about.Fun banter back and forth as he kept making me laugh and I'd give it right back to him. "Hey, there's something I want to ask you," I started. "And you can say no."Kit had switched over to water about an hour ago, seemingly fond of the sensation of having something to sip on. "I won't say no. What do you want to ask?"Warmth bloomed in my chest again as I fiddled with my sleeves. "Annie's birthday is coming up, and I don't want a lot of people there, but I was wondering if you'd like to come

William wielding a silver knife with a bone handle over my head. Runes were carved into everything, but the markings were warped. I couldn't read any of it.The same nightmare, but this time, we weren't in a ritual circle, we were on Rosie's farm. In her living room with uncanny chants from an unknown audience echoed in my ears. Not far from me the red-headed Berserker face down in a puddle of her own blood. Kit sliced to pieces. Pain eviscerated my heart, and tears spilled down my cheeks. No. No. No.They didn't look like my friends anymore, not the people who showed me kindness and welcomed me and Annie in their lives without question. They were just meat.My life would end how it started. Bloody and alone. Even the people who promised to protect me couldn't save me from William's bloodlust."Did you really thin

"You've been up all night, haven't you?""I couldn't sleep," I affirmed, accepting the coffee and taking a much-needed sip. "The nightmares came back."Her head slowly tilted to the side, kinship filling her eyes. "I'm sorry, Sera." She sighed deeply, chewing on a plain cake donut. "I knew this was going to come up.""Why didn't you tell me?" I asked."Would you have trusted me if you knew my best friend was related to the man that hurt you?" I shook my head, replying, "No. But that was months ago now. You had plenty of opportunities to tell me."She dunked her donut into her coffee a few times. "If I'm being honest, I've been putting it off big time. I figured it would come up in conversation with Kit anyways. His relationship with his brother is complicated.""He didn't tell me his

    Kit's POVA storm was coming. I could smell the rain. Thickness in the air.Brewing in the clouds. Dark gray and angry with lightning flashing in the distance. I grimaced, turning my attention back to sealing my client's windows. Last one of the day. Then I could go back to my apartment and drink myself into a stupor until I fell asleep and couldn't hear the thunder anymore.I hated the crack of thunder. It reminded me too much of my eighteen birthday when I was sliced to pieces by my brother. The thunderstorm came afterward and I could recall little snippets of Rosie dragging me through the mud, over the border before Will decided to change his mind and finish the job.When I was a child, I loved the sound of rain, but now, it makes my entire body tense. Even if there is so much as a change in humidity, my body went into survival mode.Pathetic. A grown man afraid of thunderstorms.My phone buzzed, but I didn't look at it. As badly as my fingertips itched to respond bec

    Seraphina's POVSweetheart? My chest hummed happily, warmth flooding through my veins. Enough to cut through the cold of being sopping wet, stuck in a thunderstorm. After I got off the phone with Kit, I called Rosie to let her know what was going on.How her car totally broke down and left me stranded at a gas station and that Kit was coming to get me. She then told me how Annie and her were watching a movie and to be safe on my way back.I felt a little stupid. There I was, trying to beat the storm and pick up a gallon of milk and a few snacks for Annie before the storm hit. And I would have too if Rosie's car didn't crap out on me. I didn't want to call Kit. I knew he was busy on jobs this week, but I didn't know who else I could reach out to. I didn't really know or trust anyone else. Standing in Diamond Beer and Wine, the owner had already called a tow truck for me to take Rosie's car into the shop. Everyone was so nice here. As each day passed, I found myself liking th

    Kit's POVMy heart was beating too fast.Sera was here. In my apartment, getting changed into my clothes. My wolf roused, pacing under my skin. He buzzed with unrequited excitement. Desire to be touched. The tether in my chest longed for her.While she changed, I shrugged off my shirt, putting on some fresh clothes before settling down on my loveseat, and turning something on the TV to distract myself. I could hear her heart beating, a bout of her scent breaking through the mask. It made my mouth water and hair raise on the nape of my neck. Like sweetwater. A rushing rapid over a rocky riverbank. My bathroom door opened and I tried to shake off the budding desire. How the realization that we were alone in my apartment made my cock thicken in my pants. I looked up from the couch and instantly, my mouth went dry. She was so unbelievably beautiful. Blonde hair tossed to one side of her head, cascading down the front of her chest like glimmering gold. My shirt was too big

Instantly, he stopped, removing his hands from my skin despite how badly I could tell he wanted to touch me. My thighs quivered around him, feeling how hard he pressed against me. Through our clothes, I could feel how excited he was. The thickness of his cock notched against me.Wetness pooled between my legs and my body became sensitive. Eager. His touch ignited a fire under my skin.My heart pounded, an ache permeating my entire body.I wanted him.I wanted him so badly, I felt like I was burning for him.My hands pressed up against his chest and it was just as hard as I remembered.I noticed the scars. I could see them everywhere. Claw marks. Punctures from teeth. Horrible injuries baked into his flesh. All I wanted to do was touch them, press my lips to them, and stroke my fingertips along them.He still looked so fucking good that I wanted t

    Kit's POVSera fit perfectly against the crook of my arm, her nose pressed against my collarbone. Her narrow arms wound around my neck, holding me tightly like at any moment, this would all be taken away. I felt the same way. Her breath puffed out against my neck, her heart pumping steadily. I smelled myself all over her and the only way that would feel even better is if I could smell that sweetwater again threaded through my scent. Combing my fingers through her hair, the thunderstorm felt like a distant memory. The rain lightening against my roof. I'd have to take her home soon. Back to Rosie's homestead, out of my arms. It felt difficult to even think about. I didn't want to let her go.Not when I could still taste her on my lips. Remember how she quivered and surrendered to me.Her words were still fresh in my mind. Her husband scarred her. Tore into her skin because he felt like she owed it to him. The thought made me really fucking angry. Rage simmered under the

    Seraphina's POVKit stepped inside my room, tossing his bag on top of my bed. My eyes gazed over his arms, the broadness of his shoulders. I ached with longing. A bead of heat flared between my thighs. I was hypersensitive to him, feeling his body heat flush through me.I missed him.I missed his arms around me.His mouth pressed against mine.I missed how he felt inside of me.Desire coiled in my belly. We had so much to talk about, but first I needed to have him. Reacquaint myself with his body. I needed to remind him just how badly I burned for him. Wetness gathered between my legs as my eyes raked down his back, the firm muscles bulging through the fabric.Despite how he claimed they didn't feed him on the packlands, he looked so much better than he did the night of the blood moon. Filled back out. Tall and strong, not gaunt at all. Of course, I'm sure that the boost of Alpha power helped.Kit always had power that buzzed beneath his skin, that called to mine, but n

    Seraphina's POVWhen I saw Kit's truck pull into Rosie's driveway, I almost didn't believe it was him. We had spent so much time apart, that it felt surreal to see him again in the flesh. We spent weeks pulling on the bond whenever we thought about each other…which was all the time.He'd call me every night to say goodnight to Annika. She'd share with him her growing vocabulary and he told her he loved her. After I put her to bed, we'd talk until the early morning hours. About how Abe slept on Rosie's couch at night and spent the day reconnecting with his wife after years of being apart. How I helped Rosie care for the homestead and I somehow didn't kill any of her plants yet. I would also tell him about how much Annika loved feeding the chickens and would go so far as asking to feed the goats at Reiner Ranch.He never talked much about what was happening on the packlands, but he sounded exhausted. It was like I was his escape from all the complications of bureaucracy and clea

  • The Rogues Forbidden Mate   Chapter 48 : Delicate Matters

    Kit's POVIt was good that Sera hadn't stayed. If the elders were this nasty when she wasn't here, I didn't want to think about how awful they'd be to her if she was. Weeks passed with council meeting after council meeting. They would try to hammer in ideologies that I didn't agree with. Not remotely. Old, outdated ways of thinking that benefited them, but not the pack. Frankly, it went through one ear and out the other. All the same bullshit.And in between those meetings, I had curious wolves who wanted to meet me. See their new Alpha face-to-face. Sniff me out to determine for themselves if I was safe. As was their right. I wasn't going to turn them away. I needed them to trust me. I needed them to understand that I served them, not the other way around. But it would take a lot of work to get to the level of trust we needed.I expected that. Thankfully, I had Xander with me as interim Alpha while all the dust settled. They trusted him. And he was proving to me how des

    Seraphina's POVI felt closer to Kit than I ever had. Like a direct line between our minds had been connected. I couldn't get enough of pulling on the bond. Every time I did, Kit beamed at me. I pulled on it when we got out of the shower.When he dressed me.Even when I saw the mark in the mirror. I expected a scar. Something as jagged as William's bite. But it didn't look like that at all. The scar William left me with was gone. Altogether disappeared. Now, I was left with a light, silver indention of Kit's teeth. Not bruised. Not at all painful.It felt like a mark of love.My fingers brushed it and a spear of heat shot right through me. I wasn't expecting it. Kit pulled an ill-fitting shirt over his head and raised his split eyebrow at me. "Can you…feel that?""I can," he answered, a little smile on his lips full of ardor. Distant whispers flowed through one ear and out the other. Like the buzz of a radio. It would come and go. "Why do I keep hearing buzzing?""S

    Kit's POVOne moment I had pulled a silver knife out of my side, overcome with the worse pain I'd ever felt in my life. Followed by darkness. Then, I awoke in Sera's arms. Her face mottled with tears. Eyes bloodshot. I didn't want her to cry over me.According to Xander, I was dead. I could hear it in the mind link. The chatter. The desperation. The uncertainty.The pack didn't know me. They hadn't seen me in over a decade and now I was just plopped into the role of their leader? Yeah. Like that'll go over well.Without Will's influence, they felt relieved, like a fresh gulp of air after being surrounded by smog. But, it was also overwhelming. After having a boot on your throat for so long, you miss it when it's gone.That's what this was.They missed the boot.Didn't know what life was like without it.Fuck, I had my work cut out for me. I gazed up at the moon, wondering what her plan was in all this. Frankly, it didn't matter right now. Right now, I needed to see Anni

    Seraphina's POVI don't know how long I sat on that stage, my white dress stained with blood, holding Kit's body. My head throbbed from how hard I had been sobbing. I couldn't hear anything outside of the pounding of my heart. My breathing was loud in my ears.I didn't feel it when Xander stepped up onto the stage behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. No flinching. No reaction at all. My throat was choked with grief. Insurmountable pain I didn't know if I'd survive. I could feel my heart crack in my chest down the middle. William had cheated. It was obvious to me and obvious to the elders who were panicked and whispering to one another. It seemed like without an Alpha, the mind link had also shattered. There was no Alpha to anchor it.I hunched over his body, my tears running out. I prayed to the moon, to the earth, to the devils and the angels to bring Kit back. Whoever would listen. To take this pain away. To feel like a part of me wasn't splintered.My magic thru

My shoulders bunched and tensed, preparing myself for the fight ahead.This past month I spent nights thinking about Sera, missing her. Wishing I could hold her. Reunite her with Annika. Protect my girls.Abe would kick over his rations, telling me I needed my strength more than he did. He was right. I used those rations to fuel myself while I grasped onto the iron bars over my head and pulled myself up.I needed to stay as sharp as I could, even if I was starving.Staring over at Sera, and seeing her chained to that fucking rock pissed me off. I may not be as strong as I would have been before I was put down into that cell, but I was strong enough to win this. Seeing Sera hold her daughter again gave me the strength I needed to end this.Her gaze felt like cool water rushing over me as we looked

    Seraphina's POVThe last month felt like torture. I spent my entire nights curled up on a filthy mattress, thinking of Kit's touch. Thinking of holding my daughter again. The anger inside kept me warm. I didn't know where Kit was, but I could feel him.The tether that bound us together only got stronger the more I missed him. I wanted to tug at it, hoping he could feel it when I reached out for him. But the bond wasn't solidified. He hadn't marked me. Every time I reached for the bond, it fell through my fingers. Visible and bodiless as smoke.I just wanted to tell him that I loved him. Show him how badly I missed him.My ring hummed with power as if it was filled to the brim, about to runneth over. I reached for the magic in my blood and the ring trembled. Close.But not enough to shatter the curse. I was still bound by it. The magic seared my flesh, with nowhere for it to go.

    Kit's POVEven if I wasn't connected to the pack mind link anymore, I could practically feel how unnerved pack members were at my appearance. They knew there was likely only one reason I was here, and they were right.I was here to challenge my brother. And when my sudden reemergence was linked to their missing Luna Queen, it only made it feel that much more complicated. Wait until they figured out she was my mate. If I had marked her, it would have made my claim much more potent, but I wasn't going to concern myself with it now. I also tried not to worry about Sera facing off against my brother by herself.My stomach turned at the thought of her alone with her abuser.The beast under my skin growled, vibrating through my entire body. It sharpened my focus. Made me see the whole picture.Blood Moon packmates wouldn't be any help to her. They were suffering under Will's influence. It tainted them with hate and violence.
