MYLO
The run did nothing. Absolutely, fucking, nothing. As soon as I entered the house her scent enveloped me and stirred up Kai all over again.
I dismissed Alderic immediately, watching as she hesitated to turn around and face me. Seeing her with her back turned to me was even harder to resist, Kai imagined her as the perfect prey. Our little unsuspecting mate, with her golden hair, was swooped over one shoulder exposing her neck. What I wouldn't do right now to slide my hands down her sides and leave my mark on her neck. I could hear the echoes of the gasp she would make, the rush of pain that would be forgotten as the intense pleasure of it all would hit us.
'Mine.'
I had to adjust myself before she turned arou
MYLO I still couldn't believe Dahlia was actually here. Being away from her was painful, but walking into the house and being surrounded by her scent was instantly calming. She was in the bedroom fixing Nora up for the day, unaware of just how beautiful she was as she pushed her hair behind her ear so it wouldn't get in her way. "Would you like to get out of the house for a bit?" I asked, setting some piece of cloth she asked for on the bed as she was changing Nora. "Doing what?" She skillfully wrapped the cloth around her and Nora, effectively holding Nora to her chest without the use of her hands. "A walk," I locked into her eyes that seemed more blue than green today and she nodded. We travelled down
DAHLIA Silly me, I thought this walk was about getting to know me and spending some time with me. Apparently, it was just to butter me up for information that Mylo wanted. Mylo tried to give me a rundown on his siblings, but once we entered the clearing trying to remember all of that became a task. The clearing was gorgeous, and a beautiful notion that I tried not to get too swept up in wishing would be part of Nora’s future. The way he confirmed he wanted an heir sent a familiar chill through me. I thought maybe I could expect more, but it was naive to think he was any more than tolerating Nora for my benefit. I was alone here, more so out in the middle of the forest in a spot where no one dared trespass, being so personal to th
MYLO “You’re perfect,” I tipped her chin up and revelled in her perfect features, “more than I imagined. More than I remembered.” ‘We have an incident at the east tower involving three trainees, one of which we’ve called the pack doctor for.’ I stepped back from Dahlia, feeling the anger pulse through me as Kai battled with me to stay. He could sense Dahlia lowering her defences with us, and to him, this was the perfect opportunity for us to mark her. I tried to remain calm as I stepped away from her so she wouldn’t misconstrue where my anger was being placed. I wanted to stay, but being Alpha meant there was more than one person who needed me at any given time, and as much as I wanted to mark Dahlia for my own at that moment, I also wanted it to be her c
DAHLIA I stretched out in bed as I woke up, careful to catch a glimpse of the rest of the best with my eyes half open first. Part of me always expected to find Mylo in here when I woke up, especially after the confusing turn of events last night. We had a moment, didn’t we? I could smell breakfast being made, but I could still practically taste his sweet breath pass over my lips and feel my desperation for him to kiss me, for him to claim me against all my reservations. For a moment, I thought he realized the only thing in the way was Nora, but the more I dwelled on it last night, the more it was obvious he was upset that he had to leave. He was so gentle with her when he left, and I wanted things to work out badly enough that I hope it isn’t clouding my judgement, but he’s been trying to make time for us, t
DAHLIA My entire body was wrapped up in Mylo’s scent, granting that permission as I pulled him into a deeper kiss, letting his tongue enter as it pleased. He pushed my underwear to the side and it felt too good to make him stop as he slid a finger into me. I moaned into his mouth, gripping him closer and running my hands into his hair as he pumped into me, slowly adding another finger, and then circling my clit with his thumb as I rocked against it. The orgasm hit me quickly, tensing my body and making me cry out as he slowed down his pace and pulled his fingers from me after a few minutes of milking me completely. “Fuck,” he moaned as he brought his fingers to his lips and slid them into his mouth. His forehead was still leant against mine as he slid his hands down, gripping himself through his clothing, “y
DAHLIA“Guilty,” Miah raised her hand swallowing the last of the pastry, "I already warned her once and-""Miah!" Octavia scolded, "YOU already warned her once? YOU left a gash in her face?""She should be grateful, I threatened to take her eye… and I left it for her. What did you want me to do? Tell Mylo? This was when," she motioned circles in the air between her and Octavia and made a face that said 'you know', "Mylo would have killed her for sure."I could feel the tension building in my chest as I tried to take in Nora's scent for comfort. I've always known Mylo was dangerous but hearing his sister casually talk about how a flair in his temper could end in someone's death wasn't easy to hear.
MARIEGoddess my parents were still disgusting. They truly didn’t care who was all around them, and normally I’d be ignoring them, like my entire childhood, but Kalia was still easily riled up. It hasn’t been easy, and even sitting here with my new sister-in-law's played with my emotions. Dahlia might be trying to fight it, but I could see all over her face when she arrived with Mylo how much she adores him, and Mylo wasn’t hiding his intentions at all, making sure everyone knew she was his. He looked at her with a deep longing that I ached for, but all I was met with was a cocky jokester who let me leave.“I came to talk to two of you,” my dad’s voice snapped me back to reality, “but it seems I need to talk to three,” he looked at Miah, and no matter how good she was at covering her emotions, I could see the
ALDERIC For advance training today I brought in my dad. The guards would forever have the utmost respect for him and Kallan, not to mention that they could still outmuscle ninety-five percent of our elite guards. Today was to give our existing guards some more advanced training, and Goddess knows my dad always had some random shit to teach them. 'Master your best talent but never stop training in others.' That was the line he gave to them. The line he gave to me growing up, however, was to be the best at ALL talents and not to stop until I was. I was the Beta of Timber, and though I could never fight a battle for Mylo, I had to be capable of defending against any other Alpha. Worst-case scenario training became a regular thing here after Octavia w
MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol
BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.
BRIANNA Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face. Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack. The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.
MYLOSomething happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy.My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna.“I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu
TERRANMylo tried to prepare me for meeting their royals, and although they were something to take notice of, they clearly didn’t have the same effect on me as they did on everyone else. Marie was already wound tighter than cramped roots over everything that was going on, but when they walked in, every hair on her body stood at attention. Once they were in front of her, her energy shifted again as she dropped into a calm state that I hadn’t been able to get her to since the Marcus and Izzy incident.The kings were just how they described them, beastly in their appearance, dead inside if their facial expressions were any indication. Other than a side smile to the Luna, they were basically emotionless, standing by like psychopaths just waiting to be unleashed by their queen.When the heirs were introdu
DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat. Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is
DAHLIAI was a nervous train wreck even though I tried not to let it show. I held my head steady as we walked into the packhouse, every wolf we passed looking at us with caution as we passed by.‘Your instincts are correct,’ Mylo linked me as he squeezed my hand slightly when we entered the dining area, ‘but you are safe here, so try to enjoy yourself, Luna.’‘That was definitely not the impression you just gave to Terran,’ I linked back as I caught sight of his parents. After he was done re-explaining things to Terran, I felt as though I had been given the child version of his warnings.&lsq
MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in. Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours. Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front.I pla
MYLO “Is she pissed?” Alderic asked as I stepped outside to wait for Dahlia. “No,” I shook my head, “but you’re lucky SHE was the one who submitted you.” “Yea that one’s on me,” he shook his head, "all this Alpha energy is making Leto brazen. You'd think he'd be the opposite, I mean he's no coyote," he looked at me and laughed lightly, tucking his hands into his pockets, "but he's used to being around it, we've done things like this since we were kids." Leto had a history of trying to outrank other leaders so it didn’t come to me as a surprise. What mattered most to me was that he was already tempering Leto before Dahlia made him submit and that I knew when it came down to it that he would lay down his life for her and Nora.
