Third Person's POV Luke felt incredibly awkward with this man who claimed they were mates, sleeping on the couch in his parents' living room. Every time he was home, he couldn't escape his intense gaze. It caused his heart to palpitate and butterflies to dance in his stomach. Every time he sees the man, he wants to climb in his lap and bury his face and his neck… It was a strange feeling, and he didn't like it.Once he was certain Benjamin was in the bathroom, Luke snuck out of his room. He took that opportunity and sprinted down the hall before quickly leaving the apartment. The Omega didn't stop until he was banging on his best friend's door. Rose smiled as she opened the door and stepped back, allowing the Omega to burst inside their apartment. It's become a habit of Luke's for the past two weeks.Luke burst into Joey's room and shrieked before backing out and closing the door behind him. Rose looked down the hall in concern before she started giggling when she realized what happ
Third Person's POVRose gasped when the front door opened, and she saw her son in tears. “Joey! What's wrong, baby?” Rose asked as she jumped to her feet and ran to her son. She immediately noticed the way he was holding his right arm. As Luke explained what happened, Rose moved Joey's left hand away and gasped when she saw the large ugly bruise on his wrist. An angry growl vibrated behind Rose when Nick saw the large bruise on his son's arm. “That idiot thought he was in there trying to watch them. I don't know how he could be so stupid and thick-headed! He knows Joey is afraid of Alphas!” Luke said.Rose looked up when Nick stormed out the front door. She looked at Luke, whose eyes were wide. The Omega was tempted to follow Nick. He wouldn't mind watching someone put that big idiot in check, but he knew his best friend needed him, so he stayed. “Come on, let's get some ice on this,” Rose said as she guided her son to the couch. She quickly disappeared into the kitchen, grabbing i
Third Person's POV Benjamin couldn't get over how night and day Luke was with him now. The Omega that once ran from him now can't keep his hands off him.Luke giggled as he straddled Benjamin's lap on the couch. His right arm wrapped around his mate's neck, and his left hand tangled his fingers in his hair while he tasted his mate's kiss. He couldn't get enough of Benjamin's magical kiss. His tongue felt like heaven wrapped around his. He loved the way Benjamin's tongue searched his mouth and the way his hands caressed his body. The two lovebirds were so lost in each other they didn't hear footsteps walking down the hall. Noah came to a halt, stopping his mate in his tracks, when he saw his son making out with his mate on the couch. He was surprised he wasn't angry and even more surprised by how happy he was. He supposes maybe it's because, for the last two weeks, everyone has witnessed Luke's desperate attempts to avoid Benjamin. “He finally feels the bond,” Michael said through t
Third Person's POV Lexon carefully watches Ezra as he uses his abilities, looking for flaws in his execution and fighting ability. The Elder is impressed with his fighting skills. He was impressed with his abilities until just a few moments ago. Ezra almost seems confused and frustrated as he rapidly switches between abilities. He growls in frustration as the swarm of enemies begins to overpower him. He growls again as he slaps his hand against the light switch and grabs the forehead of the closest vampire, not only electrocuting the one he's holding but the ones touching that vampire. His focus intensifies, and the lights flicker as he draws more power from the light switch. He focuses on the electrical current; Evelyn jumps and covers her head as the light bulbs above begin bursting.When Ezra lets go of the light switch, the bodies of all five enemies fall to the floor. “What happened there?” Lexon asked as he focused on the last vampire and watched as he ripped his own heart ou
Third Person's POV Tate enjoys the warmth of her body pressed against him. Their legs tangled, her head resting on his chest as her fingers delicately trail along his body. It's a soothing sensation, but he can't wait for the day he can feel tingles under those fingertips when she touches him. “It's getting closer… are you afraid?”“No,” Tate replied.“I am,” She said quietly, and he kissed her head. “Don't be scared,”“How can you be so certain?”“Because I love you! Because I think about you all day long. From the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep,” Tate said, but the very next moment, he was surprised when his mind drifted to those blue eyes and the adorable way he tilted his head. He could almost hear the sound of his giggle, and his lips tugged up.“What are you smiling about?” Chloe asked as she rested her chin on her hand. “Nothing, just a thought from earlier. Stop worrying your pretty little head. We're mates. We wouldn't feel this strongly for each other if
Third Person's POV Ezra sat reclined in the snuggle chair with his Dad. Only these days, instead of being wrapped up in his dad's arms, his dad is wrapped up in his. Many books lie in Ezra's lap, ones Julian hasn't read yet. The one he's currently reading is held in his hand. As Julian flips the page, Ezra glances down, and his lips tugged up at an old book his dad tried to sneak into his pile of books to read: Good Night Moon. The book is old and raggedy, but his dad still loves it. “Oh, I love this part!” Julian exclaimed excitedly as he nuzzled in against Ezra. The soon-to-be vampire King smiled as he wrapped his arms tighter around his Dad. He rested his head atop his dad's as Julian continued reading. Ezra closed his eyes and enjoyed their snuggle session as he listened to his dad read. Reid paused as he entered the room, and his heart swelled at seeing his mate snuggling with their son. Each time he witnessed it, he cherished it, afraid it might be the last. He never knew wh
Third Person's POV Everyone spun around, taking a fighting stance, but relaxed at the sight of Vincent. “Jesus!...For fuck sakes!” Vincent whisper-yelled as he grabbed the wall with one hand and held his right hand over his heart, trying to collect himself.Vincent turned, giving Lexon a look that let him know he wasn't happy that he scared him half to death, before looking at the two kings. “Fucking A! It's been a long time since I've seen you guys! You little Rugrats grew up into young men!” Vincent said as he eyed the two young men he hadn't seen in nine years. Ezra stiffened and wanted to crawl out of his skin when the stupid vampire pulled him into a hug and nearly squeezed the life out of him. “Damn, look at you! You're almost a king! Shit, buddy!” Vincent said as he slapped the King's back. Ezra's body jerked, and his eyes widened when Vincent slapped his back a little too hard for his liking. “Anyway,” Vincent said as he pointed at Grayson. Grayson raised an eyebrow and
Third Person's POV The ice dancing in the wind around Grayson fades as his powers slip away. The wounds he has sustained are proving to be too much for the soon-to-be Alpha King, and he stumbles before falling to the ground as they pull him down. The sound of Grayson screaming in agony causes Ezra's blood to run cold. He feels his brother's panic and fear and stumbles before growling and swinging as fast as he can. His fear of losing his brother, and the fear of losing this opportunity that they have chased for so long, is consuming. It twists and swirls inside him, churning and building. That fear quickly turns to rage, and it begins to build, causing immense pressure to build within Ezra. His chest heaves and his eyes burn bright. His aura becomes so thick it almost consumes all the air in the room, causing all the enemies to slowly back away in fear. His eyes move throughout the room, landing on each face of his enemy surrounding him. His snarls of rage grip his enemies with fe
Third Person's POV The Beta carefully studies the board, looking at all of his enemies' pieces. Each move is critical. One wrong move, and he's dead. His jaw clenches, and his fist tightens as he tries to decide the best to move. The Beta makes his choice, and he's certain it's the right one. It will bring him just out of the enemy's reach, so he makes his move.A smirk rests on the Beta's face as he sits back, satisfied with his move. His eyes snapped to his enemy, who snorted before laughing. Coal looked at the board, trying to figure out what he was laughing about. His eyes narrow, watching the guard make his move. The Beta's mouth hangs open when he's put in check. He forgot about the stupid night. He took everything into consideration but the damn night! “You're falling asleep over there, Alpha!” Maverick teases, and Coal glares at him. The Beta with Alpha blood was ready to reach through the bars and smack Maverick. He was tempted to throw the board down the hall and burn ever
Third Person's POV Grayson had just finished cleaning his body, but the hot water felt too good to step out just yet. He lays his head back and lets the hot water beat down against his chest as he goes over the events from 17 hours ago. It was a long drive. Even without stopping to sit down and eat, only grabbing fast food to eat in the car once at lunchtime, and refueling when needed, it still took 12 and 1/2 hours to get there and 12 and 1/2 hours back. Everything about the trip there and the attack was last minute, so there was not a lot of extra time. They arrived just outside of Ella's pack around 5:30 p.m., allowing them to sleep in wolf form outside their vehicles for 2 hours. When they woke up, they had just enough time to eat and go over the attack one final time before heading to Ella's pack and surrounding it. The attack itself was quite easy. They never saw it coming. With a pack of just over 850 people, Grayson and his 400 warriors quickly secured the pack, but that w
Third Person's POV Sebastian didn't understand why Grayson had to leave so soon after his heat was over. No matter how many times his mate told him it was important and he would be back as soon as possible, it still hurt. It was his first heat. The first time he was so vulnerable in front of his mate, just to have him leave the very day after it was over. It made the Delta feel like he did something wrong. It was a knife to his heart, but he hid his heartbreak.He tried hiding in his room, but his new best friend wouldn't let him. His brother-in-law was knocking at his door only a few hours after Grayson left. Kyle kept him company all day and even spent the night. They camped out in the living room, eating junk food and watching movies until they fell asleep. He was thankful for Kyle. He wasn't sure how he would have gotten through the night without Grayson alone.Unfortunately, once morning came, Kyle had to go to work. That left Sebastian with nothing to do. The daycare didn't nee
Third Person's POV Her beautiful scent surrounds him as she lies back against his chest. She rests just off center to his left, with his left arm draped over her shoulder. She holds his hand as it hangs over her shoulder, playing with his fingers as they lazily watch TV. The room lies in disarray; nearly everything is broken. It looks like there was an invader, or they were attacked. There must have been a wild fight. A fight to the death, perhaps. But no… there was no fight to the death, no fight at all… at least, not that kind of fight. The scent of sex still lingers in the air strongly, as if they just had sex. They may not have just finished their first round, but it was their final round for now. Nadja's eyes roam the room, assessing the damage. His lips curl up in amusement when he realizes the destruction they left their room in. The only thing left standing untouched is the TV, and that's because it's mounted to the wall. Not even the bed is intact anymore. It rests at an
I want to clear up a small confusion with knots. I had two people think my characters having knots is new to the series with the last chapter, and that's not true.Dominant males having a knot has been in my series since book one. I don't recall if I mentioned Thaddeus's knot, but I definitely mentioned Michael's on several occasions. Noah whimpered because it hurt when it tugged on him each time Michael moved. Also, there is a chapter where Asher accidentally knots Michael. I believe that is in the book River Pack. It shocked both Alphas since a dominant mate doesn't normally knot another dominant mate.Knots are NOT strictly an Alpha thing, either. It's any dominant male when their mate is in heat. If their mate is not in heat, their knot will not bloom. I can't remember every instance, but I do have this one that wasn't an Alpha. In Harris's book, chapter 79, Brian is a dominant Beta, and he knotted his Omega, River when he went into heat.Another knotting instance was in Claudiu
Third Person's POV “Mmmm… you're so wet. Your body is so ready for me. You're dripping, so eager for your Alpha. Look how ready your body is,” Aspen said as he pressed another finger with ease. It pleased the Alpha wolf to see how ready and eager Darien's body was. He pumped his fingers in and out of Darien's eager hole, watching with fascination as the slick leaked out around his fingers. He looked down between his legs and found Darien's neglected cock, leaking onto the bed. “Look at you… Your body is begging me to touch and play with it. Do you want me to touch it? Do you want me to play with your cock?” Aspen asked, his voice somehow thicker and deeper. It vibrates at the end as it turns into a deep growl. The sound has Darien's body reacting to it, sending a jolt of pleasure down his spine and forcing the slick out around Wyatt's fingers. Darien couldn't believe how he was acting and how his body responded to the way Aspen was talking to him. He thought he should be embarras
Third Person's POVMovement beside Wyatt slowly woke him. When he woke up, the first thing his senses picked up was a delicious mouth-watering scent. Wyatt blinked his sleepy eyes, rubbing them as he tried to figure out what was going on. Once the haze of sleep faded, he realized Darian wasn't in his arms where he should be. He looked to his right and found the source of movement that woke him. Darien was asleep, but he was covered in sweat and rutting against the bed.Wyatt rubbed his eyes again before reaching over and trying to shake Darien awake. The Alpha assumed his mate was having a kinky dream. What he wasn't expecting was for Darien to go from sleeping to being wide awake and growling at him like he was a midnight snack. The sleep was barely out of the Alpha's eyes when his mate pounced on him. The only sound that managed to escape the Alpha was a muffled grunt before his lips were attacked and a tongue thrust into his mouth, hungry tasting him.Darien rutted against his A
Third Person's POV Ezra couldn't believe how hot Roman's body was. His body was like a little inferno as he squirmed under him. His natural tan skin looks like caramel under the warm light. It glistens with sweat, and the scent of his slick is the strongest he's ever smelled. It's consuming all of his senses, turning his mind to mush with only one thought left in his head… Roman! The taste of his essence still lingers in his mouth as he licks his lips. One orgasm was nowhere near enough for the Omega. His hungry eyes bore into his soul as he climbed his body, tasting it as he moved higher. “N-Need you… in me…now!” Roman pants, his head lifting off the bed as he chases Ezra's lips. Roman's legs wrap around the king's waist as his tongue dives inside his mouth. His hands are desperate as they move across Ezra's body, trying to feel as much of him as possible, tugging at his skin and pulling him closer. He moans into Ezra's mouth as the king's large hand glides up his thigh, caressin
Third Person's POV Roman didn't last long at Grayson's pack. Within 30 minutes, the Omega was unconsolable; he needed to be near his nests. All the Omega could think about were both of his nests and the fact that they were neglected. One sat alone in the woods, and his little mind began to think of every horrible thing that could happen to it. Someone touching it, removing his mate's scent, or worse, someone destroying it. What if they got to the one in their bedroom and destroyed that too? Both nests were vulnerable in his absence. He began whimpering as tears rolled down his face. “I'm so sorry! I wanted to be here to see you lead your first full moon run, but I can't. I have to get him back to his nest,” Ezra said as he adjusted the Omega in his arms.“It's okay, go on. Get him back to his nest,’’ Grayson said, and just like that, his brother was gone. Grayson smiled down at Sebastian, who was nestled against his chest. He smiled as he combed his fingers through his hair. He didn
