Chapter Two
(Wilder POV)
Her mouth wrapped around my cock has my eyes closing and a soft growl escaping my lips. Her movements are sloppy and seem inexperienced for someone who is the pack whore. I wrap my hand through her hair and help to guide her down feeling as I hit the back of her throat and she gags slightly. I lick my lips tasting the sweetness that still remains there from licking her pink pussy. Her pussy had felt so tight when I had slid a finger inside, I had thought about giving in and fucking her. The thought has me so close with just a few more thrusts I empty myself into her throat.
The sound of a painful scream has my eyes flying open. I am no longer in my room. I am in a dark dungeon. “Why?” The question comes out as a cry. The golden eyes filled with tears peer at me from over her shoulder before squeezing shut as the whip I hold lashes her back.
I sit up from my nightmare, sweat coating my body and my heart racing. I glance at the clock. It's 530am I barely got any rest. Elena and I got in just after 1 am and fell into bed. I would attempt to go back to sleep but I know it is useless. He slowly untangled himself from Elena and stepped into the bathroom to shower. As the warm water cascaded over me my mind won't quit replaying the nightmare.
'Maybe we should say sorry.'
'She tried to give us a potion and claimed to be our mate. I wasn't even 18 and neither was she. How did she think she could get away with that?'
'What we did though…'
'I know Zander, we had to play our part so Bug could save the pack.'
'She was part of the pack that needed saving.'
'She didn't have to lie and scheme.'
'I'm not saying you should trust her but maybe if you apologize we could learn her reason.'
'We heard she was power hungry. You know the reason.'
'I can't explain it Wilder but I think there's something missing. You can't deny you feel protective around her and her scent…'
'Her scent stirs bad memories and it's not protectiveness, it's fear of what she'll do.'
'If you say so…'
I feel Zander cut the link and decide it's time to get out. I throw on some sweats and run my fingers through my hair. I open the door standing there with her blond hair a mess, mascara smeared with a lil pout on her lips is Elena.
"I was hoping to join you."
"Sorry babe." I wrap my arms around her, lifting her up. Her legs wrap around my waist and I kiss her passionately. I feel myself hardening against her core and her arousal wafts to my nose. We only pull away when the sound of a glass breaking is heard from the kitchen. I sit Elena down sliding her body down mine. "Go shower, I'll make breakfast." I peck her again on her lips and give her a slap on the butt as she enters the bathroom.
I exit the bedroom and when I enter the kitchen I stop in my tracks as I see Spencer cleaning up a broken glass rubbing at her chest.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
She turns at the sound of my voice, sadness flashing in her eyes. "This has been where I am staying."
"Not anymore. This is my apartment. You can move down to the second floor."
"With the unmated warriors?" Her voice shows a hint of anger.
"Yes. You should be what you're used to. You should feel at home."
"At home where?" Trey's voice sounds from behind me.
" I guess I am moving to the second floor." She responses annoyed before pushing past me and walking to the room across from mine.
"Why is Spencer moving?"
"I'm sorry Trey but I can't trust her in my apartment."
He looks confused, "why not?"
I thought you knew but when I visited your old pack and you were on patrol she tried to use a potion and tell me I was her mate."
He sinks down onto the sofa with a look of shock."she said that? That you were her mate?" I nod in response. " Is that why when I returned you had left and she was in the dungeon?"
I cross my arms feeling justified. "Yes."
His face changes to one of fury and before I can think it was on my behalf he is in front of me and his fist connects with my face. I am caught off guard and stumble back. "Do you have any fucking idea what they did to her? The way I found her?" I am perplexed by his reaction.
"Enough Trey. I am fine." Trey turns around and I look past him at Spencer standing there eyes glossy with tears tugging at her sleeve with a stern look on her face.
Zander reminds me to apologize."Look Spencer." I walk and pour a cup of coffee, taking a sip and can't stop a moan of appreciation that leaves my lips. "I can't trust you after what you tried to do. But I am sorry for how bad the punishment was."
"Look Wilder save your half assed fucking apology it can't fix what you did to me. Also throw out that coffee you're drinking. I made it." She turns and leaves the apartment.
Fuck, I reluctantly pour the coffee down the drain. Really hating to have to do it, it was the best cup of coffee. "Look Alpha Wilder, out of respect for Spencer I am gonna keep my opinion to myself but I just want you to think what made you trust my old Alpha over Spencer? What made you think her character was below his? I'll go pack?"
"Pack?"
"Where Spencer goes I go."
I feel a weird uncomfortableness bubble within me at the thought of them together. "I didn't realize you two had something?" I struggle to keep the bitterness out of my voice.
"Something?"
"Yea I heard she tried to sleep her way to the top, I guess Beta wasn't enough. Sorry man."
He lets a humorless laugh out "you sound just like my uncle and cousin sounding better than everyone else." I growl at his disrespect. "You know as a Beta or future Beta it's hard going against your Alpha especially when their family. But I did it for my family, for Spencer. That young woman you shunned like a common nothing, she didn't need to sleep her way to the top. She was already there just treated as nothing. Spencer's my cousin, the late Alpha's daughter." He turns back to his room.
Alpha's daughter? How is it possible that Alpha has a hybrid daughter?
(Spencer POV)
I adjust my duffle bag on my arm as I pause on the landing to look out the window. Could I just leave? Walk into the forest and never turn back? My people were safe now, maybe it was possible to just forget it all. I didn't have my wolf yet. Maybe leaving him would be easier and eventually I wouldn’t even think of him, of who he is to me, or what he did to me.
“Spence, what are you doing?” Turning away from the window and notice Paxton climbing the stairs.
“Thinking about running away.” I state jokingly but truthfully nonetheless and find it hard to lie.
“You might want to wait for it to be dark. Less likely you will be seen. Also you might want to travel lighter.” He motions to my duffle bag.
“That is true. What are you doing here Paxton?”
“I came to say hey to Wilder and hopefully bump into you.” He walks up and bumps his shoulder into mine and I tense.
“Well your mission is half way accomplished. If you will excuse me I need to move.”
“Move?”
“Your Alpha has requested that I move down to the second floor.”
“Fuck that.” He grabs my bag and walks back toward the apartment, me following after him. He doesn’t knock, he just walks in. Wilder is sitting at the table with a she wolf sitting next to him, holding his hand eating an omelet. How long did I look out that window? “ Look Wilder, Spencer isn't moving to the second floor."
"Spencer? The Spencer?" The she wolf questions looking at Wilder. He gives a tight nod before her eyes turn to me in a glare. My hands clenched into fists.
"Well hello Paxton and she's not?"
"No, she's moving into my parents' cottage."
"Don't you live there?" Wilders voice comes out as a growl.
"I do and now so does Spencer. Go pack the rest of your stuff Spence." I turn and head in the direction of my room.
"Well that works out better. I would be uncomfortable with her in the pack house Wilder." I fight the urge to gag at her words.
I quickly begin to pack my things, texting Trey quickly. He responds stating he is coming with me but I shut down his suggestion. I hear the door across from mine shut and decide it's safe to exit. I am halfway down the hallway when I hear him speak "why are you insistent on this Pax?"
"She's important, Wilder. I am sorry if you can't see it." My heart warms at his words.
"I told you what she did! You're my best friend."
"Wilder, do you feel the bond with Elena? The sparks the draw to her? If not there's a reason."
"Yea we haven't had her ceremony yet."
"That shouldn't matter if you accept her. Now quit acting jealous over Spencer."
"I'm not." He growls out
"Whatever you say, quit sulking before Elena notices." Paxton chuckles.
I take this as my opportunity to enter the living room. "Pax, I'm ready. Thank you for this." I state as he grabs my bags and we head out of the apartment. I can feel my mates eyes on my back as we leave.
Chapter Three(Wilder POV)I swiftly put on my shorts as I take the steps to the porch of the pack house. I wipe the sweat from my forehead quickly before wrapping Elena in my arms when she exits the pack house. I breathe in her scents in hopes that it will calm me but I still have a sense of unease. I gently pull away and wince at the pain in my shoulder.“Are you hurt?”“I’m fine, I probably just pulled it while fighting.” I give Elena a quick kiss on the forehead before turning to look out into the crowd. My eyes begin searching the faces and I feel my unease continue to grow as I don’t find what I am looking for though I don’t know who that is.“Q
Chapter Four(Spencer POV)The tension in this hospital room is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Sylvia, Alpha Chris’ daughter has come to visit me. She helped to tutor me in math so I could graduate high school even if it was late and I had to go to summer school. She has become a friend and she came to bring me my diploma. She is usually chatty, like literally I wonder how she even breathes sometimes. However for the last 45 minutes she has sat on the couch in silence staring at her hands only looking up occasionally at Paxton who was pacing the room."Enough, I'm going to find that doctor and see when we can leave." Paxton declared before taking one last look at Sylvia before leaving the room.Sylvia continued looking at
Chapter Five (Wilder POV) I hate this feeling, it’s like I have no control over myself. My anxiety makes me ache to shift but I don’t allow myself to. For two days anytime I shift I would find myself at the edge of mine and Riverbend pack territory. I tell myself it is natural that I want to make sure someone that saved my pack members was okay but I can’t explain this empty feeling away. I was happy yesterday when Sylvia came to visit, I couldn’t wait for her to meet Elena. Like with everyone Elena made fast friends with Sylvia. I just watched them banter back and forth not talking about anything really with satisfaction. I truly love her and watching her happy always made me happy. I kept glancing down at her stomach, anxious to see it grow with my pup. However, that wasn’t t
Chapter Six (Olivia POV) I just lay Erik down when I begin to hear it, there is a calling in my mind almost like a mind link but it is faint. I gasp out at the voice that I hear. “What’s wrong darling?” Christian wraps his arms around my waist. “I think…I think I heard my grandma Lily.” “But I thought she died?” “She did.” I respond but then I hear it again, my grandmother's voice and a tear comes to my eye. ‘Go to her.’ “Maybe you’re just missing her.” “No, she says to go to her.” “Her?”
Chapter Seven (Spencer POV) “Freedom Pen, freedom.” The fight leaves me at Izaiah’s words in my ear. How could I have lost sight of the ultimate goal. I allow him to lead me toward the clearing in the woods. He sits down amongst the tall grass pulling me down to sit with him. “That was him wasn’t it?” I stop running my hands through the grass and look at Izaiah. “Yes.” “What happened Pen. He didn’t seem to recognize you as his mate which means he can’t have rejected you.” “He knows I’m not 18 yet.” “Does he know you’re his mate, does he know what you are?” “Know what I am, no, know that I am h
Chapter Eight (Wilder POV) Sitting next to Elena in her hospital bed an ache begins in my chest causing the worry for our unborn pup to grow. The bleeding has stopped, a nurse performed an ultrasound and we are just waiting on Dr. Alex to come in with the results of the tests and ultrasound. Zander starts to whine in my mind in pain and my anxiety increases. ‘What’s wrong? Is it the pup?’ ‘No not the pup. It’s something else. Something I can’t explain but it hurts.’ The ache in my chest increases as does Zander’s whimpering. I feel as he pulls back further into my mind and the whining lessens but not the ache in my chest. I look over to Elena and see the worry in her eyes. “Whatever happens
Chapter Nine(Elena POV)“Dear Goddess, she's half vampire Livie. What do we even know about Vampires let alone werewolf vampire hybrids.”“I’ve done my research have you?”“I was up most of the night. So far what I know isn’t good. Some High Lord of a clan of Vampires by the name Sanderson picked a fight with werewolves he couldn’t win, wanting to be the master of the supernatural world. It didn’t end well; now vampires are mostly extinct.”“So history that is all you learned so far?” Olivia lets out a laugh.“Well I do have a pack to run and a Luna ceremony in a couple of da
Chapter Ten(Wilder POV)The scent of blood has me jerking awake and I feel myself shift back to my human form. I look around in a daze and realize I am on Paxton’s porch. As I look around my eyes zero in at the source of the blood. Elena is lying unconscious on the ground, blood coming from her head. Spencer is approaching and about to reach her. A growl erupts from me in warning as I rush forward and shove Spencer as far away from Elena as I can, sending her flying about 10 feet into a tree trunk. She lays there unmoving as I pick up Elena and rush to the pack hospital. How could this happen, why was I even there?I got Elena to the hospital and they put her in a room. Dr. Alex arrives and begins to run some tests. I am really starting to hate this place. The doctor finally enters
I slipped so far from who I used to be, who I was supposed to be. I was once a hybrid that wanted nothing but the betterment of his people and those of the werewolves. I sacrificed my father and oldest brother to obtain the goal and unfortunately sacrificed my vampire half and my memories. Memories lost of her, my mate that was killed by the King’s men before I can fully claim her. My anger and burning need for revenge is what causes me to keep up this facade of loyalty until I find the right time to strike. Chapter One (Sebastian) I am trying to complete some work prior to the wolves arriving for the training. I begrudgingly offered my pack for the future Alpha, Beta and Gamma training camp for the next month. I say begrudgingly because it came at the request of the king himself and as much as I would like to have said no however, it is a good opportunity for me to scope out the new leaders of packs that I may be up against. I let out a loud breath as I look at the picture on my
Chapter Sixty Three(Spencer POV) I feel him hardening still deep inside me and I rock my hips a moan escaping my mouth. My hands fist in his hair bring his mouth to mine and I nip at his bottom lip and he grants me entrance into his mouth. Our tongues fight for dominance wanting to taste and explore each other's mouths. I quickly relinquish dominance admitting to him and myself that he is My Alpha. I continue to grind my hips into him as he slides his length in and out of me. The feeling of stretching around him as he creates friction within my pussy has my eyes rolling back in my head. “More…Please Wilder…more” He knew exactly what he needed. He sat up on his knees, never pulling all the way out of me, his hands trailing down over my legs, hooking them on my calves and placing both my legs on his shoulders. He leaned forward, thrusting into me harder. “So fucking good, tight, wet just perfection.” He reached up with his right hand and began to play with my hardened nipple. The or
Chapter Sixty Two(Paxton POV) I collapse to my knees, my hands covering my face sobbing when I spot Sylvia walking into the clearing. My legs are unable to hold me up as disbelief and overwhelming joy fills me as I catch sight of my mate. She reaches me, her scent surrounding me as she sinks down on the ground in front of me and takes my hands in hers pulling them from my face. Tingles run through my body where our skin touches. I launch myself at her, wrapping my arms around her and clutching to her with everything that I am. “I’m here, Pax. I am home and I am not leaving.” I let out a sigh at her words realizing that I have also been filled with fear that she would leave again. I have so many questions but I won’t waste this time to ask them. I cup her face and kiss her the way that I have wanted for so long. She tastes just like the memories that have haunted me for years. I could never look at another the way I had looked at her. I know the elders had wanted for us all to c
Chapter Sixty One(Wilder POV)Around 5 Years Later So much has changed in all these years. The vampires and werewolves live mostly in peace. A surprising number of the vampires have been mated to werewolves. There were so many that we had to hold a large mating ceremony because individual ones would have taken months. There had been hesitation on both sides to accept their mates as they had lived separately for so long. Living as enemies but with the acceptance and encouragement of those of higher rank slowly but surely the bonds grew. Reestablishing the packs and combining some sadly took over a year. There is a different hierarchy now and despite what I thought most didn’t oppose. Golden Moon is the ruling pack now, I will soon become the King. The Guardian Pack is just that, the pack that guards all others. They are the Kings guard. I rule over all the other packs but I am the High Alpha of Golden Moon and them. Alpha’s have been designated for other packs but overall I am a ro
Chapter Sixty(Wilder POV) The sun is high in the sky when I finally untangle myself from my pups and the love of my life and venture out into the living room. I take in the faces out there, their red eyes and tear stained cheeks but more than the faces out there I take in those that are missing. I rush to my sister who is crouched next to the sofa rubbing Erik’s sleeping head as tears still stream down. When I near her she stands and throws herself into my arms. “Bug?” “It hurts so much. He’s gone Wilder. Christian is gone.” Her legs give out and I guide her to the ground where I just hold her as we both cry. I look up at Trey who is looking down at me sadly. He must read the question in my eyes because he speaks. “We won but we lost so much more. Ezekiel, Aria, Sylvia.” Paxton lets out a strangled sob from the doorway he was entering before turning and leaving. “Monica.” The names go on and each is like a stab wound to my heart. So many people I loved are gone. “Christian, he wa
Chapter Fifty Nine(Wilder POV) I’d been wandering through the woods for a while when I saw her sitting there on the ground with her eyes closed tightly and I was confused. She looks like a dream in her linen dress, sitting cross legged, running her hands through dirt and grass. I had been in these woods before and I had expected to see my parents and family to share some comforting words but instead I found her. When she said that I was here to say goodbye. That I wasn’t dead it took long seconds for what she said to sink in. If I’m not dead but we are here to say goodbye that can only mean one thing. The memory floods me as I hold her to me. The sound of her voice in my mind, the words that she spoke. My weak attempt to fight accepting her gift. A betrayal begins to creep in, not betrayal at her and her leaving but betrayal at myself. I don’t know how long we stay there holding each other crying before my voice finally finds me. “You saved me? You sacrifice yourself for me. Wh
Chapter Fifty Eight(Spencer POV) Pain rips through me, that's what happens when the soul is ripped from the body. For most it lasts the briefest of moments not even registering to the person that it has happened. But for me, because of what I am, who I am, the pain seems never ending. I can feel the soft grass below me vaguely with my eyes clenched closed, my body curled into a ball, my hands clutching at my chest at the memories of how I ended up like this flash through my mind. I’m fighting with the King trying desperately to end him and get to my grandfather and end this all. I keep sight of Wilder fighting in my peripheral vision as he attempts to take down my grandfather and his lackeys. My patience is slipping and it’s time I channel Lily and let her help me. I know I can’t shift anymore but I can still feel her there in the very back of my mind. It is something that I have tried really hard to hide. I was happy when she didn’t truly leave me but I have felt on edge these las
Chapter Fifty Seven(Wilder POV) I wake up in a tent lit only by a lantern with pain working its way through my body. I feel my back breaking and a scream leaves my throat. I see three she wolves rush into the room. I instantly recognize Luna Astrid, Athena and the pack doctor. Another snap in my femur has me screaming, “What’s happening to me?” “You need to quit fighting it.” Astrid states. My knee cap displaces and I curl up in a ball. “Fighting what?” “You're shifting. First time in a long time.” Astrid’s words make sense as I haven’t felt pain like this since my first shift. My eyes find Athena who has tears in hers. “What are you doing here?” “Helping.” She replies before coming to before biting her wrist and placing it to my mouth. “Drink, I'm a royal, it will help with the pain.” I merely look at her. “Do it!” Astrid shouts as another wave of pain hits me. I do as instructed and latch my mouth to her wrist and take a drink of her blood and the pain subsides by half. I t
Chapter Fifty Six(Spencer POV) It’s been a week since that scream ripped from my lungs, the sudden onset of pain too painful to hold in. I had maneuvered through the previous pain willing myself not to give anything away but that went out the window a week ago. My grandfather hasn’t given me a moment alone since then. I expect him to grill me and try to find out what happened even though I suspect that he knows. However, he seemed pleased when I asked to bump up my union ceremony with the King. So tomorrow I will finish this union and with a new plan in mind I head down to the dining hall. There are several members already in the dining hall. I really have to fight a grimace when I see Landery seated at the head of the table with Mira at his side. It turns out that Landery was supposed to be my chosen but at the last second changed his mind and took Mira as his chosen, even though they hadn’t completed the bonding. It seemed odd to me since she had always followed my grandfather
