JavierI got up and dressed before the others did. Zale was tucked around Amanda and Bo was curled up on the bottom of the bed like some great loyal mutt. I knocked on the side of his head until he opened an eye and glared at me. I motioned with my head to follow and the brute stretched before plodding after me."What's the big ideal?" He whined."We have to go. Unless you plan to be the last one home to enjoy your new mate?" Bo snarled. "You know I'm not letting you get back first, Javier. Besides, I don't have to go as far as you. Let me get some more rest. Who knows how crazy things will be by the time we get back.""All the more reason for us to get going," I pointed out. "But whatever, Bo. You like to make the same piss-poor judgments all the time. I'll be sure to spend any extra time with those two while you're still carrying out your mission. When Zale asks where the fuck you are, I'll tell him you got bored and decided to fuck her old pack.""Fuck you, Javier." I grinned. "
BoIt was fucking cold. I didn't have too long to go to get to the barrier and where the land of summery warmth awaited me, but I hated being out in this weather for even an instant.OH well, at least Javier's ass was suffering. That alone brought a smile to my lips. If I couldn't be nice and warm and in bed with my Luna and Prime, I could at least warm myself by the thought of my fellow mate suffering through this fucking cold. Maybe Zale would get off his ass and put his power to use and end this stupid weather. I was sick and tired of having my damn nose frozen off every time I poked my face outside. With Amanda in position and Zale's power completely unlocked once we took care of the issue up north we could have a real summer again. Besides who wanted to raise cubs in this?I held myself tight to fight the chill and strode forward through the high snowdrifts. Fucking Javier. If it wasn't for him I would have slept in today. I didn't even want to go investigate Amanda's hellhole
BoI raised a brow. What was up with this wolf? "I'm not about to go out of my way for anyone but my Luna. You have a suicide wish, go find someone else."She shook her head at me. "You don't understand," she whimpered. "Fine, I'll kill you, but you've got to help me first." She cocked her head at my words. "You're going to tell me how to get into your pack without being noticed. I've got some business with that piece of shit Alpha of yours."Her head dropped to the ground, nose almost brushing the grass. "I can't," she whimpered."Useless," I snarled. "Then get out of my way. I've got a mission to fulfill."The wolf got to her feet, limping to get into a position between me and my pathway. "You have to help me.""Woman, I don't have to do anything. You're not my Luna nor my Prime."She gave me one of those confused looks again. "I know what a Luna is, but I have no clue what a Prime is.""It doesn't matter, you won't be alive long enough to meet mine." I turned away from her, scann
Bo The Amanda clone stared dumbly at me like I'd grown another head. "Please, you can't, I'll talk but..." she stopped talking, looking away from me. "Out with it," I ordered. "You're not going to believe me." I scoffed. "I think I'm the one in charge of what I believe or not. You want to get off your high horse and come back to reality? I'm not asking again Answer my damn questions or I'm going to grab your hand, and I'm going to bend your fingers back one at a time until they snap." She whimpered, falling to the ground and writhing at my feet in the dirt. "My name is Clara." "That's not what I asked," I snapped. I grabbed her arm, lifting her off the ground with it. "I warned you." "No!" she struggled against me. "Please!" I ignored her cries, grabbing her index finger and slowly pulling it back. "I'm her daughter!" I let her finger go. "What?" I demanded. I couldn't have heard right. I gave Clara a little shake. "I can't believe you're still lying to me after I warned you
BoThe first wolf, the biggest of the lot, pounced at me from a fucking tree. I stepped to the side and my hand shot out, grabbing him by his throat. The wolf yelped but regained himself a moment later, snapping desperately at my hand."Seriously?" I chided. "There might be more of you than me, but just from this attack I can tell you guys are pathetically trained."Clara stood off to the side, watching us but not interfering. She trembled, holding her stomach tightly, her eyes bouncing back and forth between me and what I assumed were her brothers.My wolf let me know of an attack from behind us, and I whirled, tossing the captured wolf at the new threw. The two combined with sharp yelps and hit the ground with hard thuds.I was tired of playing with these boys. Another dashed at me, trying to snap at my tendons and force me to the ground. I did a rabbit leap over him, slamming my palm down as he went and hit his back. The force slammed him into the dirt."Any more?" The remaining
BoThe confidence in Abe snapped. "What?" he demanded.I grinned. "You heard me. Why would I walk away? I've won. All that's left is for me to kill the last three of you."The two wolves beside him whimpered, pressing hard against their brother. They weren't even growling anymore."No balls anymore, huh?" I demanded. Worthless. "Don't think this act of being a pussy is going to stop me. You're dead no matter how much you beg."The air around me went cold, colder than the Vermillion Kingdom even. It attacked my nose and lungs. It made me feel like ice crystals were attacking my insides. I put a hand over my mouth and pulled it away with blood dripping from my fingers. What the hell?"Murderer," boomed a voice from all around me. It echoed and pounded into my head, forcing me to my knees."No!" Clara's scream was faded, out of range almost. What was going on? She was standing not even ten feet from me. Why couldn't I hear her properly?"Murderer!" The booming voice screamed again. I g
ZaleI was pissed about having to abandon my plans. But Ares had shifted inside of Bo to protect his ass. Why?I looked past Bo and a strange woman, I'd find out whoever the fuck that was later. My sights were focused on the creature striding towards us. "Bo, get your ass inside now," I snapped.It's not like Ares gave him a choice. My wolf forced Bo to jump through and I nodded to the guard, watching the magic climb up until the barrier was complete. I turned back toward my enemy and grinned. "Well, aren't you an ugly fucker. You look like someone locked you in an oven." His skin was stretched tight across his skeletal frame. His flesh was blackened with bloody crusted cracks across his face. "You," the voice boomed around me.I lifted a brow. I hadn't felt this type of power in ages. Not since the last Prime walked this land. "I'm in a good mood, turn around and leave and you can walk away."The thing grinned at me. Its teeth were blackened and sharpened like a predator's maw. "N
AmandaI crumpled to the ground, holding a hand against my heart. My strength had just flowed out of me. What the hell was going on out there? I whimpered, struggling to my feet."Are you okay?" the servant that had been left for me crouched at my side, his soft-green eyes studying me with concern. "Luna, you shouldn't push yourself."I shook my head. "I'm fine." I'd stopped trying to correct his usage. "Something's wrong out there. I should go see."He put a hand out, holding me back. "I can't let you do that. I have to keep you safe." He bit his lip before turning away from me and walking over to the coatrack, grabbing a pair of thick heavy parkas. "Here, take this. The Prime would kill me if I let anything happen to you.'I ducked into the furry coat. It would help combat the chill from outside. I'd been without my mates for the space of a day, and it was enough to make me ache. Were bonds really this strong? "I thought you weren't going to let me do that," I teased.He ran a han
AmandaI wasted no time in cornering Teniv when we returned. "Okay, how do we do it? You can't just summon a Goddess and they show up."Teniv chuckled. "Oh? But isn't that what you did for me? You called, and I came."I rolled my eyes at his flippant attitude. "I'm being serious. This isn't the time to joke. I need to put a stop to Saabi. I won't let her have her way.""Ah, I suppose you're right. She's not about to show up if you call her, though she might send one of her celestial wolves instead."There had to be another way. "What about her followers? Do only the wolves follow her, or is there more?"Teniv tapped his chin as he hummed in thought. "There have been rumors she's taken over the place of quite a few Gods but I can't really confirm or deny any of that. I've been busy keeping my eye on the Primes." he shrugged at me but his eyes danced.This God could be irritating. "Then what do we do, Teniv? I have to put a stop to her. Tell us where to go. I want to put an end to this.
ZaleShe trembled before me, staring up at me with her big expressive eyes.Eyes I normally wanted to lose myself in."Talk?" she whispered the word.I bent down and took her into my arms, cradling her against my body. The others got to their feet, prepared to go with us until I glared at all of them. "I'm going to have a private conversation with my Luna."Her damn hounds growled at me. I appreciated the extra protection she had with them around, but I was really getting sick of them getting in my way all the time. "It's okay, guys," she whispered from my arms, and one by one they dropped their guards and let us stroll through.For some reason, instead of being relieved that they wouldn't be around to bother us, it only irritated me. They would have to be reminded of who was really in charge here.I turned on my heel and ventured out of the room and towards my own. My thoughts clouded my mind like poisonous clouds of vapor. How could she think about sacrificing herself?Was I happy t
AmandaI wasn't sure what to expect from the deity in front of me, but I dutifully followed him out of the room. My hounds scrambled before they too joined me.There was no fear in me when it came to Teniv. We had a connection, though I'd be hard-pressed to explain what it was. I had zero doubts I could trust the god. "Is this going to hurt?" I asked.Teniv glanced over his shoulder at me, eyes warm with concern. "Yes, you're melding your conscious with that of your mates and all of the pain will be yours until the process is complete. One final chance to turn back?""No," I answered with a shake of my head and a hand on my stomach. He didn't need to keep giving me outs. I reached for him, placing my hand on his back. He stiffened beneath my touch and twisted around to study me. "I'm choosing this. If this is what will bring her downfall, everything is worth it.""So be it." Teniv inclined his head and paused in the large living room. "Sit down," he ordered.I took a seat, and the god
AmandaBy the time everything was done and I'd been with each of my hounds, my body was a quivering husk.Raul chuckled and kissed my cheek. "Don't get too comfy, it's already morning."I groaned at the reminder and was tempted to grab a pillow and lob it at his face, but my current pillow of choice was Jesse, and lobbing the man wouldn't be easy. Instead, I glared at Raul and cuddled closer to Jesse. "I need sleep.""I know, but we need to protect our future," Tyler gently chided me. He yawned, breaking part of his serious effect. "Sorry, someone kept me up too late wanting a back rub."'It hadn't been that late when we started, and it was my fault he didn't stop until the wee hours of the morning when I was already knocked out. "Not you too, Ty, you can't be betraying me."His only answer was a chuckle and a ruffle of my hair. "You're something else, mate."I smiled before leaning closer. "I really don't want to get up.""I get it, but we have to," Raul scolded again.Sighing, I rol
AmandaI was stuck on Raul, contrary to his words, his knot did not go down, in fact, it only seemed to swell with every thrust Jesse made against me. Raul held me steady, peppering the top of my head with soft kisses of encouragement as I took the other hound's pounding. Tyler grunted, the head of his cock slammed into the back of my throat as he got closer and closer to his own relief."Wait," Raul ordered him.Tyler panted but stilled. "What?""We all have to finish inside of her, she's our mate, this is important. If you're getting too close, just wait."Tyler let out a keening little moan, his hips still working against my mouth but nodded. "Yeah," he agreed.My eyes widened as Tyler pulled free of my lips and I swallowed. "I have to take more of those?" I could take a lot, my body has proved that with the rough nature of Javier and Bo, and somehow, I loved it. The sensation of being stretched almost to the point of breaking, for my entire body to tremble as I pushed it more an
Zale There was something almost beautiful about Bo and his movements. his long hair spilled down his back as he submitted to me. I ran a finger down his spine and he shuddered beneath me, desperate for me to fill him up. I grinned and ground my hips against his sweet ass. With my other finger, I prepared him for me, I should have been slower, it had been a while since I'd gotten to enjoy his body, but there was no time for that. Or rather, I didn't wait to wait. I slipped another finger in him and scissored them in and out, stretching him. It wouldn't be long until I sunk inside of him. I leaned down and bit at his ear again and a long sexy moan tore out of him. The rougher I was with him, the more he responded. Bo had always been my desperate little slut, loving every touch from me, and I more than loved giving it. I pulled my fingers free and grabbed my hard-as-a-brick cock and pushed it against his tight little hole. "Scream for me love," I whispered as I slammed inside of him in
BoWhatever was going on with Amanda shot through me like a never-ending stream of fireworks. She was being well taken care of her by her hounds, and I was jealous."You need to calm down," Zale scolded, closing the door behind us. "Because if you don't, I'm going to be forced to punish you."I bit my lip. Lust spiraled inside my stomach. Zale had a way of pulling that out of me. "I don't like having her out of our sight, not after what happened before."He snorted at me. "Do you really think she's going to be taken away from us again so easily? I'll rip apart anyone that dares. Besides, those hounds are her mates just as much as we are, I'm tired of having to press that onto you."I understood his reasoning, but it didn't mean I had to like it. "I can't stop worrying," I confessed with a sigh.Zale came behind me, running the tips of his fingers up and down my arms and nibbling on my shoulder. "Oh?" he pressed pushing his erection against me. "I think I can help you stop worrying if y
AmandaMy words were the only barrier keeping them away from me. Raul pressed firmly down on my thighs and his tongue slowly slid into me, teasing my clit and making me gasp and writhe against the bed.Tyler's fingers found my sensitive pussy lips and he pulled them apart so Raul had better access. I cried out over the deeper touch and he leaned over, capturing my lips with his and silencing any more moans from me.Jesse continued to torment me from behind. "Do either of you have any lube?" he asked. "I'm wanting to get her nice and prepared for all of us, I'm sure you wouldn't mind that, right Amanda?" he purred into my ear.I shook my head back and forth, but Tyler followed after me, his tongue darting over my lips and making me whine beneath him.Raul didn't pull away but he snapped his fingers and pointed at my nightstand. Tyler leaned over, still holding me completely exposed to my mate, and grabbed a small vial from the drawer. He motioned for Jesse to hold out a hand and he squ
AmandaThere was no hesitation left in me. I followed my hounds to one of the bigger rooms and took a seat on the large bed, watching as the three of them turned to me.Now that it was this moment, my pulse raced and I couldn't get it to calm down. From the moment they marked me, I knew this would eventually happen, but I hadn't realized how nervous I would be."It's okay," Jesse offered, taking a seat beside me. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me against his warm body before gently kissing the top of my forehead. "We can take this as slow as you need, or just cuddle if that's all you want, Luna.""Amanda," I corrected. "We're all mates. There's no reason for you to keep that up."Raul chuckled and took a spot on the other side of me, nuzzling his nose in the crease of my neck. "A-man-da," he sang my name out and his warm breath tickled me. "Thank you."I stared down at my hands. I wasn't sure what to do anymore. It's not that I didn't want to take the next step forward, but my
