AmandaI jumped on his words"Then that means you still belong to the Primes. Your loyalty should be with them."Luke chuckled at me. He bent down and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up at him. "It doesn't work that way. Our loyalty now is only for Master Aren. We've never been fed as well as we have with him.""Wait, Luke?" Raul interrupted again and was glared at by the other man. But Raul didn't stop. "If she's telling the truth, I think we should be following our Prime. They were good to us."Luke scoffed. "Good to us? It wasn't the paradise we enjoy now because of Aren. The kills we're allowed to bask in. Don't tell me you're going soft, Raul. You know what we'll be forced to do if you betray us." Two of the others shifted positions closer to Luke. The battle lines couldn't be more obvious. Raul growled in the back of his throat but lowered his head in submission.Luke chuckled and his hold on me tightened. "Master might be awhile coming. And in that case, I think it's impo
AmandaThe power surged through me and I welcomed the transformation as the powerful wolf took over. I wasn't sure where Zale was, but I wasn't defenseless anymore. The ball in my mouth was bitten through and the leather straps tying it around my face were split from the force. Luke backed up but didn't look scared. He clenched his fist and his flames surged. A warning for me to back down.But my mate was close to me. Nothing would make me stop. I could even face HIM with the power of Ares at my disposal. "Stop right there," Derek ordered me. He shot out a plume of his ice blue flames and the caught me in an ever-shrinking circle. "Drop the transformation. It doesn't matter if you have back up, they'll still be outnumbered.""He's the Prime," I spat. "Your rightful master."Luke shrugged. "Did you forget that we were guardians to Primes? Do you really think that those wolves would accept protection from those lesser than them?"I growled at him. "But the Prime was your master. Guar
Zale I found her. My woman, the one that belonged to me and existed for me. Ares had forced her to shift to protect her, but now that I was here, I would rip out the spines of anyone who stood in my way. I didn't recognize the four men around her, but the creature facing her I recalled. Hell hounds? I had thought those creatures were extinct. "Zale!" Amanda screamed my name and our bond throbbed with her relief. "Get away from her now," I ordered, my Alpha tone resonating through the air. Two of the hell hounds fell to their knees and bowed to me. The three others though continued to glare at me. The one in beast form slowly moved in front of Amanda and blocked me off from her. "This woman belongs to my master. There's no way I'll let an imposter like you take her away," he sneered. Black flames rose off his body and he opened his mouth wide before a jet of flames erupted from his mouth and toward me. I ducked the attack, the heat hot enough to make even me take notice. If tha
ZaleThat idiot. A bone-head move like that was something I would expect from Javier. Not from the caliber of demon that had teamed up with me. All of the men stared at me their eyes multi-colored and burning with inner flames. What hounds I might have been able to sway to my side were taken away from me now and it was all thanks to this asshole.The demon scoffed and pulled his blade free from the dust that was left. "What? Did you truly think I would allow my life-sworn enemy to acquire weapons such as these to use in your fight against us? Not a chance." He pointed his blade at the hound that stood staring at him, black flames traveling all over his body making him bigger than before. "You're next."Amanda got to her feet and took a stance in front of the two men. I really wished she would get away from them. She was far too close to those useless lumps of flesh. I didn't care if the hounds belonged to me or not, she was the one that existed for me. The only one I needed. My mate.
AmandaThe object of my nightmares appeared in the middle of us, but all I could focus on was Javier's still form. My bond was still there so he wasn't dead, but he'd suffered. There was so much pain coming from him."Monster," I spat.Aren turned to scan me. His lip curled in a sneer. "Come now, Alessa. I warned you plenty of times what would happen if you tried to fight against me." He held Javier up and then tossed him down into the middle of the hell hounds. "Transform and devour him, boys." He turned his attention back to me and held out his hand. "Come," he ordered.Zale snarled. When Ares and him merged together it was a sight to be seen. He was a massive wolf and his muscles quivered with his rage beneath his sleek coat. He took a protective stance in front of me almost shielding me from view. "Enough," he glanced back at the hounds behind him. "Shift," he ordered.Without looking at Aren the three hellhounds on our side transformed one after the other with their respective fl
Zale I tried to keep my focus on the battle but that was turning out harder than ever when all I wanted to do was confront Amanda and find out if it was true. Could she be carrying my child? Or was it a bastard whelp from her past? But that's not how it felt to me. Once the words were given form, I believed them without a doubt. My mate was pregnant with our child. A future for my people was already established. A vicious growl came from one of the hounds and it opened its mouth unleashing a stream of orange flames straight at my mate's kidnapper. Killing him once would never be enough. I needed to pull every bone out of his body and stab him through the eyes with it. Once the flames hit, Aren was knocked back like he'd been struck by a sledgehammer. He hit back first into one of the trees and grunted, his body falling forward like a rag doll. I would be the one to end this pathetic creature's life. It was my woman he'd taken. My life he'd tried to ruin. "Pull it together,
AmandaI stared at the carnage in front of me. Aren wasn't coming back from this, and neither was Luke. Both beasts turned to study me and I found myself frozen. For a second panic blazed through me but I pushed the emotion away. My mate had just saved my life."Fuck, Zale, did you have to be so brutal? You shocked our little Luna." Javier pulled me back against his body. He groaned from squeezing me too tight.The moment my skin met his I whirled around in his hold so I was facing him and I cupped his face in my hands and searched his eyes. "You idiot," I scolded. "You could have been killed." I gently touched his bleeding lip. He was healing from his bruises, but it was slow going."Idiot?" Javier snorted. "You mean sexy. You know you're ours," he growled into my ear. He clutched me closer until his heat threatened to scorch me. "Once we get you home, we're fucking you so hard you won't be able to walk for a week. You're in big trouble."Instead of being afraid at his words a risin
ZaleAmanda stared at me her mouth open as she was stuck somewhere between a laugh and a yelp. She swallowed. "What?" she whispered to me when she regained use of her voice."You heard me," I growled into her ear. "Javier, take that cat girl somewhere else. I've been without my mate for too long and now that I know she's carrying my legacy, I want to celebrate." Ares had kicked in and taken responsibility for hearing her back to normal health. I wished that stupid Aren guy had still been alive so I could make his death far more painful. He had gotten away with far too much. I slipped a hand into her shredded dress and palmed her full breast. I brushed a thumb over her erect nipple and she bit her bottom lip to stop her moan from escaping. "None of that," I scolded.She took a deep breath and stared at me. Her limbs were quivering. She knew what she was in store for. "Zale, we need to rescue the others," she whispered.I ignored her and slipped the dress completely off her body leav
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
