Seraphina's POV

Sweetheart?

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 POVNearing dinnertime, I glanced into the living room to see Kit on his belly on the floor, coloring with Annika. She giggled and tried to stuff the crayon into her mouth before he took it away, telling her that crayons are not for eating. He redirected her with a little bowl of cheerios left out as a snack.My daughter squealed, tossing handfuls all over the floor excitedly. Kit gave her a disapproving look and made a game out of picking the pieces up before he rolled onto his back. Annika didn't waste a moment and jumped right on the golden opportunity.He lay on the floor, reminding me of a lounging wolf letting a pup climb all over him. Completely unbothered by her and she loved every moment of using him as a jungle gym. A sense of fullness unraveled in my chest. I rubbed at it, a smile curling the side of my mouth. For just a moment, I pretended Kit was Annie's father. Giving her everything she needed. Protecting her. Loving her as a father should. It w

    Seraphina's POVI stared down at his hands, fingers coiled through mine. The warmth in his hands soothed me. Rough callouses scratched my palms, but that only made it feel more real. My heart felt tight in my chest, throat thickened with words that seemed so hard to say.Words felt hard before, but now, my tongue felt swollen with the impossibility of it. I shook slightly, so afraid of hurting him."I-It's my business. Has nothing to do with you. It…I-It doesn't matter anyways," I stammered, withdrawing my hands to tuck them under my arms. Absolving myself of how his skin felt. My body whined at the loss of his warmth. I'd drag him down with me into the mess of my marriage. I…I couldn't do that to him.When I glanced up, his eyes clearly reflected the hurt. "How can I make you understand that's not true? How can I get through to you that it matters?" I couldn't look at him. Couldn't feel the way his kind eyes seemed to see right through me. I fiddled with my wedding ring,

    Kit's POVI didn't drive over the border to challenge Will because Sera asked me not to. That was the only reason. Her petite hands burned a hole in my chest, blazing blue eyes asserting authority over me. I had become so used to Sera's demure, shy tendencies that I had forgotten how fire-hearted she could be underneath all of that.Especially now that she wasn't talking around the elephant in the room. She would close her eyes and tense her jaw, thinking hard about what she was going to say, and then use those words with conviction. She could be bold, I saw it then.And my wolf loved it. Her touch quelled the rage, stifling it almost instantly like snuffing the oxygen for a fire. I was under the surface, bent to the whims of the beast, but she tamed him without much more than a touch.It took my breath away.I was falling hard. Faster than I thought I would. It was destined, sure, but sometimes mates could take up to years before they complete the bond. I already felt bon

    Seraphina's POVAnnika wouldn't sleep. She was exhausted, staying up way past her bedtime, constantly nursing to ease the pressure in her gums. The poor little thing was teething, but unfortunately, that meant I didn't get to sleep.I had just gotten off the phone with Kit when she woke up again and I climbed the stairs to nurse her for the eighth time tonight. Rub the numbing gel on her gums, hoping it would be enough to let her slip into a deep sleep.My stomach rumbled again, feeling empty. I thought about the takeout Kit was bringing over and I could have cried. This week had been hard with Annie cutting three teeth at the same time and going through her one-year sleep regression.I was nearly out of my mind. Sleep-deprived and starving. I also couldn't stop thinking about Abe's new letter. Decoded by Rosie before she left for a late-night inventory check at her storefront. Which left me alone all night, stuck in my head. William was sending spies to the Outskirts

    Kit's POVShe was right in front of me, dripping wet, long, damp blonde hair and pink cheeks. Plump lower lip sandwiched between her teeth. The smell of cucumber melon shampoo seemed to compliment the natural smell of her that kept breaking through the masking shroud.And, fuck, her legs. All I could think about was hiking them over my shoulders. Palming her creamy thighs and giving her ass a nice squeeze. She'd tremble against me as I drowned in her.Just that sweetwater scent she put off when she was turned on wafted over to me and I had to look away from her. I was two seconds from fucking her against my truck. My body felt tight, my shoulders stiff, and I felt so painfully hard.She was several feet from me, but I could feel her presence as if it were only inches.I could imagine her gasps as I devoured her mouth. The way her body would melt against mine like she knew mine would protect her. That towel would fall onto the ground and I'd pull her into the back seat of m

    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

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.
