Jax POV"Where are we, Liam?" I looked over the little apothecary shop annoyed. He wasn't going to torture Riley with magics. I knew in my soul she was pregnant and that it was our child. From the second I read her name on her resume I felt a connection to her. She was something special, and she belonged with us. I can't understand how Liam constantly ignored that."An old friend's. Calm your wolf, Jax." He warned me.Riley nervously shook by my side the entire time. She barely spoke and when she did, it was just pleads to let her go home. I wanted to see that confident woman I knew her to be, but I also understood she was teetering on losing her mind right now. The best I could do was show her that she would have a good life here, eventually. She just needed to adjust to her new life and see she belonged here with me and Liam. I also needed Liam to stop being an asshole. He always pushed people away, especially when they tried getting close to him. Even myself, I rarely saw him le
Liam POVI growled at both of them. I didn't want to harm my child, but it wouldn't be something that could live in this world. The second the Alpha Lycan found out, he would kill us all. I also knew this baby would kill Riley. I didn't want to care, but a part of me didn't want to lose her."She will be dead in a few months and you will all regret this decision." I said to them."She won't die. She was meant to be here, with us." Jax yelled back to me.Before I could respond Star turned sadly to Jax and knelt to the girl again. Her fingers brushed through her hair. "I'm sorry Jax, but it's impossible for a human to survive the birth of a supernatural. Too much magic will flow through her, and her body will give out. You should plan a c-section a few days before she is due to protect the child.""No!" Jax shook his head looking to Riley. "She won't die. It was impossible for her to get pregnant, yet she is. She can handle it." He demanded, but the tremble in his voice I knew he didn'
Riley POVStanding in the hospital, watching Liam beat Jax bloody sent an odd calmness over me. I wasn't afraid and I needed to protect Jax. I knew I wasn't strong enough to stop Liam, but I knew his wolf would never allow our child to be harm, despite what he said earlier. I reached my hand to his shoulder, letting my emotions pour out of me. I prayed in my head for Liam to see what destruction he was causing to his best friend.Jax looked to me with a smile and reached his palm to Liam's chest. I didn't know how but we were both trapping the unruly Alpha in our hands. For a brief moment I thought we got through to him. Liam softened and I could see his body relax. It didn't last long though. As he spoke to the men in the hospital his anger kept spiking. Then he stormed out of the hospital on a mission to punish a little girl. I didn't understand this world, and I don't think I wanted to. I didn't have a choice anymore. I was trapped her until I gave birth to some supernatural ba
Liam POVI spent the past week avoiding that girl and witch as much as possible. I didn't eat with my pack or wonder too far from my bedroom or office. Lindsey took care of anything I needed so it wasn't making me slack much in my duties. She also reported any issues among my members as well.They all feared me, but loved Lindsey. Oddly, the Alpha female was fearing me less and less too. I could see her determination to please me and she knew I hated that others quivered in fear around me. I wanted to find solace in her, but I couldn't. Despite avoiding my mate and the mother of my child, I could smell them all through the house.Her arousal hit me like a strong wave and I growled ferociously at Lindsey who was updating on pack business. I mind-linked Jax to get information from Star before I locked the little witch in a cell. He thought I was currently with the girl and came rushing to me. I could smell Riley all over him and I wanted to rip his throat out as I fucked him hard. I se
Jax POVI ran to Liam's office, expecting to find him forcing himself on her and found a very different scene.I was pissed at Liam for taking advantage of her, but I was also painfully hard. All week I wanted to take Riley in bed, but something kept holding us back. We both knew it was because of Liam and it pissed us both off.Watching her cum in his mouth as he worked her ass sent waves of lust through me. My wolf no longer cared what was right or wrong. We both wanted our Alpha."See, she loves it." Liam said with a sly smile. I looked between the both of them. Riley was practically naked against the wall, her dress torn, hair a mess, legs barely standing in those heels, and my strong Alpha was hard against her body."You can't resist her." I said, tilting my head to him. He was longing for us just as we were for him. That is why he stayed away from us. We were cracking his steel wall to let us in. "This isn't some revelation, Jax. I want to fuck her and you. You're my mate and
Jax's POV"Don't!" Liam shouted, quickly moving Riley and himself away from me. My dick pumped out a few more drops as I ran my hand up and down my shaft."What the fuck was that, Jax?" Liam looked at me pissed. My body vibrated with a dark possessiveness to take them both."You're mine! You're both mine." My wolf was in a frenzy to mark them."Control your wolf or the fun is over." Liam warned me.I growled again then moved to the desk to clean off my dick. I shook my head, trying to push my wolf back. He was usually fair and understanding, but this new dynamic with Riley had him pushing his Alpha power to take the lead more and more. He didn’t believe in Liam to keep his true family safe. We can't have Liam yet, but Riley. I looked to her with a smirk, then my wolf retreated as I agreed. She was barely standing on her own and Liam gently lifted her in his arms. "Sorry, I never fucked you before. It felt exhilarating and I lost control." I cracked my neck then looked to Liam holdin
Liam POV"Fuck!" I shouted, throwing a chair at the wall. I stormed out of the bedroom, naked and all, making my way through the house. Every object in sight I broke against the walls, but it did little to repress the anger I felt.My chest was squeezing in pain and my wolf was clawing at my insides to take what was mine. I pushed Maverick down, which only infuriated him more. He wanted control, but I denied him. "Alpha!" Lindsey eyes were wide to me as she scanned over my bare body. My muscles twitched in aggravation and my dick was hard as nail needing to ram himself inside a tight ass. I prefer Jax's or even Riley's, but they just signed their death sentence. The rage I felt for those two was unmeasurable."You! You should be fucking mine." I threatened as I approached the little Alpha female. If I just take her as my mate it would make everything easier. Maverick growled at me in warning. He wanted to fuck anything with a tight hole, but he was too hurt right now to mark another
Jax POVI watched my perfect woman sleep peacefully by my side. I cleaned her body and tended to her soreness, but she healed faster than humanly possible. Another sign that not only was she carrying a pup, but her body was accepting my mark.It was a risk, but some how my wolf knew she would survive. Not just survive, but that she needed this, I needed this. We were meant to be together and I knew that more than anything else. It is very rare a wolf is mated with a human. When it does happen, it is a lowly omega with not much strength. Never was there a story of an Alpha, Beta, or Delta marking a human, and never when they weren't fated.For now, if she accepts my mark, she will grow stronger. When she wakes, I needed to bring her to Star for more answers. There was so much uncharted territory we were all heading into we need as much information as possible. Now that she is my mate Liam can't keep her from me either.My fingers brushed over face. "I'll take you everywhere, love. We h
Liam POV“I think I'm going to love this life a thousand times more than I thought possible. I can feel Riley's pride in her wolf, something I knew she was ashamed of before. I know this was because of you." Jax finger's ran over my neck, then hers. "You claimed her as yours.""It was only a few months ago. We wanted to wait for you, but then she went into heat and raped me.""I did not!" Riley smacked my shoulder. I grabbed her hand, kissing it sensually."I remember being thrown to a bed and attacked with that slutty pussy.""Attacked!" Her eyebrows rose to me."Mmm, yes, attacked! Jax is right though. You need to be reminded who is the Alpha here.""I'm a Lycan!" She countered."In the bedroom you're our little slut, and you know you love it." I spun her around and forced her chest to the bed. "Be a good little slut and bend over." I demanded. Her body relaxed and legs parted with ass in the air. She knew she loved it. Jax moved beside me. "She is a Lycan, which means she can take
Liam POVI remained behind my mates as they walked hand in hand to our bedroom. Riley had been glued to Jax's side since he woke and I loved seeing them together. I was reluctant to claim him so openly because this relationship between us was so new. We hid our bond for years, then a few days after accepting each other publicly he was cursed asleep. Also, I was afraid it wasn't going to last. I knew it was him, Jax was really here and seemingly unaffected from the spell he was under for so long. I prayed that was true, but worried somehow Allura or Mildred added some twist to his awakening.I sat in a chair to the side of our bed and listened to my mates argue. Even red eyes and screaming I was filled with joy watching them together.Riley filled Jax in about Claire's disappearance and her blood vow to Allura as she changed into her pajamas. She acted like it was all nothing, but Jax was pissed, as I expected he would be. He tried laying down orders to Riley and I chuckled how she sho
Liam POV"So how did you wake me?" Jax crossed his large arms over his chest. Maverick was in a frenzy watching him all day. He ate five plates of food just for breakfast and all while talking and joking with all our kids. Jackson took ten minutes to warm up to him, then wouldn't leave his side. Jax fit right in like he had been here every second the last few years. Riley was glowing, watching him naturally being one of us. Honestly, I was never worried we would need an adjustment to when he woke. Our kids loved him just as much as they loved Riley or me. They saw him everyday and knew his life through stories we told them."I'll let our gorgeous Queen explain that one." I side eyed Riley, happily hanging her out to dry. I was happy as fuck she woke him, but I didn't agree with the terms."Maybe we should discuss this later." Riley tried brushing it off when Sophia and Dylan walked in."Later? Seriously, Riley?" Sophia was not happy and a fairy was not a pretty thing to see upset. "
Liam POVThis fierce goddess of a woman just did the dumbest shit possible. I wanted Jax awake more than anything, but this was a mistake. I could feel it in my bones that giving Allura life, hundred of years to plan and manipulate, would eventually be our undoing. Allura moved swiftly to Jax. Her hands moved over his body as magic poured out of her hands. Her sickly sweet voice, full of lies and deceit, circled around us in an echo. My body tensed and I couldn’t move. My eyes moved to Riley, my gorgeous mate clenching her hands in a tight fist as her body shook in anticipation. Her wrist had a deep cut where her blood vow to Allura would remain until one of them died. Fuck me! Jax is going to be so pissed I let this happen. He will quickly see that there is no taming a Lycan though, especially when that Lycan is Riley. She is not the same woman he once knew. She was more powerful than any now, and she knew it. My head shot to Jax as a soft moan escaped his lips. His eyes squinted
Riley POV"I'm the mother of the woman that spelled your mate, and I want your protection before lifting this curse. A blood vow or he stays asleep forever." The smile that crept on the old woman's face was pure evil, just like her blackened soul. She was definitely related to Mildred, the resemblance was clear and I knew her scent. I looked to Jax, then to Liam. He wasn't convinced and neither was I. She could break the curse, but at what price?"Agreed!" I stepped towards the woman and Liam grabbed my arm."Are you insane! You don't even know what vow she is asking for.""I don't care. She wakes him or I kill her. I prefer to come to an agreement and see our mate again, but one way or another her blood will be shed." My eyes heated as I let my Lycan come forward. I didn't want to hurt Liam and he knew that too. He also knew I would do whatever it took to get Jax back."What are you terms?" Liam said with a clenched jaw. He didn't like this, but he knew I wasn't backing down."I wan
Liam POVI watched my gorgeous mate as her belly grew each day. For this pregnancy I decided to take a picture and measurements every day to record for Jax. Brandon got me a damn baby journal because he was my mate's best friend, so, of course she told him everything. I mean everything too. The most intimate details that little omega knew and it annoyed me. "Why are you growling?" Riley smiled at me, knowing my anger was at the man I stared daggers at. I placed the picture in my book and slammed it shut."Nothing!" I turned away from Brandon and Barry feeding their little hybrid demon a vile of blood. Vampires were savages and these two idiots were trying to raise one. I thought Claire was bad as a hybrid, we haven't seen anything yet with Isabella."Daddy, Daddy!" Four little voices came running into the kitchen and nearly tackled me. Three Lycan girls and one Alpha boy. Soon Riley won't be the only one that can kick my ass. "There's all my babies." I rubbed over their backs and ki
Liam POVI spent the last two years obsessing over finding a way to wake Jax that I forgot to give my mate proper attention. Riley was so understanding of the pain we both felt that she never pressured me to be better either. She held it inside and now she was a damn time bomb. A sexy as hell bomb I couldn’t wait to watch explode.The second I pushed her into the bathroom I knew she was in heat. She took a suppressant, but that was made for werewolves. It was only a matter of time before it stopped working, and now that it's been so long, it would take days to calm her. That dark wine and cherry blossom scent had every fiber of my being in tune to her needs. She needed to be satisfied, but revenge was deep inside her too. Whoever this old boss was, he hurt her in a way she wanted him to pay. I let her handle him by herself, knowing a human was nothing to my Queen. I didn't expect her to actually kill him though. My little demon girl had some true evil inside her. "Strip!" I demanded
Riley POVI followed Liam back to the little party our company held at an upscale restaurant. Men were dressed in their finest suits and women their most extravagant dresses. It was a beautiful venue bathed in white with silver sparkles everywhere. I watched Darrel with heated eyes waiting for the perfect opportunity. I wasn't sure what Liam was planning, but I was sure it ended with death. I couldn't let that happen, but a part of me did. We needed Jax to tame us both. "You ok?" Sophia looked at me with worry."Sure." I took a long sip of my wine."I can feel your Lycan begging to come out. What did Liam do this time?" "It wasn't Liam, someone from my past." "Ooo, I smell death. I like it!" Sophia's eyes shined purple as her hand rubbed over her baby bump. She was on child number six and I didn't know how she did it. That woman was always pregnant and usually with more than one."My baby is going psycho." Her husband wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Does my wife need a le
Riley POV"Brandon!" I squealed, leaving Liam's hand and running into his arms. A few months ago they adopted their first child and I've seen very little of him. She was a gorgeous little girl that needed a lot of care. Her hybrid of wolf and vampire was already present and it required a lot of training to keep her not only happy, but in control. Isabella had the best two dads to help her grow and learn who she is meant to be though. "My Queen!" He teased me."Please stop me calling me that." I smiled at him as I shook my head.Many bowed to me, but I was a just a normal person. I didn't even feel like a werewolf most the time. Mainly because I never let my wolf come out, or she didn't want to. I wasn't sure anymore who was pushing who away. "But it's true." Liam added, giving me a wink then extending his hand to Brandon and Barry."Well, I don't feel like a Queen and we are all friends here." I smiled at them. "Well, you two are more lovers, goddess you reek of sex." "Barry is an
