Riley's POVMy dreams were filled with the sexy man I laid next to. I never been so satisfied in bed before and I knew I never would again. I watched this large, strong man sleep peacefully by my side. He was flat on his back sprawled out on the bed and head tilted towards me. My body pressed close to his side, my feet rubbing slowly on his leg, while my fingers traced his impressive eight pack. How much did he work out to keep these bad boys? I still felt a strong need to please him. It was so strange to feel this way, but I had a plane to catch and I couldn't stay any longer. Besides, I've been caressing his body for an hour and he barely stirred. He would be passed out for most the day. I should be happy that he didn't wake up so we didn't have to have the awkward "I'll call you sometime" moment, knowing in reality we would never speak again. I gave him a small kiss on his lips then peeled myself from his side. I gathered my clothes and couldn't help but imagine what it would b
Riley POV"Is everything ok?" I asked sheepishly. I didn't want to cower down to this man, but his presence demanded it."Fine! Why are you giving my employees treats Ms. Parker?" His voice was all commanding to obey his every request."I just wanted to say... thank you! For being so helpful." My eyebrows furrowed and then my courage came back with vengeance. What the fuck is wrong me lately?"Is there a problem with me saying thank you, or for Brandon doing his job. A job I believe you instructed him to do. Sir!" I added the sir, but my annoyed tone and arms crossed tightly around my chest showed I didn't approve of this conversation.Brandon's eyes shot wide open in surprise. I could tell he was searching for a way to save me from being yelled at by his boss. My eyes darted from Brandon back to Jax who slid a devilish smile across his face."No problem, Ms. Parker. You are correct, I instructed Brandon to help you and I'm happy to see he has done an excellent job at that. I've been
Liam POVI ended up missing my flight from Chicago to Seattle, but the delay allowed me to dodge my mate a few days, so I was happy about that. If I could just get that sexy nympho out of my head I would be on cloud fucking nine. "Alpha you have several pack members waiting to speak to you. Will you be seeing anyone today?" My delta asked me. He remained at my doorway, standing a good twenty feet from me with his hands wound tightly behind his back. He knew of my strength as well as my unstable mood since returning, he was quivering in fear.I didn't mean to exert so much power but it naturally rolled off me. You would think after all these years of being their Alpha they would realize I don't just randomly attack my pack members, at least not anymore. Their wolf was too intimidated by mine that it made them cower in fear and submission to me."Yes, I will see them. Thank you Conner, you can go now." I waved him away annoyed how he desperately needed to get out of my office. Was my p
Liam POV"Goddess, I hate this place." The grey stone mansion surrounded by fairytale foliage was coming into view and although it was a mystical place full of beauty it held nothing but ominous warnings to me. "It's not my favorite place either." Jax sighed. "Are we all caught up with the do's and don'ts of an Alpha? I mean it's not like I'm the all powerful leader of the strongest pack or anything.""You're an asshole, that is what you are. We are caught up for now. I do need you in the office in two weeks though. Since pack law requires all ownership to be under your name there are few contracts I need you to review and sign. Brandon will have everything prepared for your office. I just hired a few new staff members as well. It would be good to get to know them a bit."I grunted at his request. I hated going to the human city. It was bad enough my own pack members feared me. I didn't need the humans pissing themselves in unknowing fear of me too. "I guess, but you would owe me a f
Liam POVI spent the last four hours drinking myself into a fool, but it didn't help. How was I supposed to accept this woman as my partner, future Luna, and then just take her home to fuck her until she was pregnant. I wandered the long hallways of the mansion staring at each portrait of the Lycan's that lived before. Each painting had a short passage about their life and accomplishments. It sucked to think that these Lycan's entire existence was summed up to one picture and four sentences. Was that all their life was for? It seemed pointless to even carry on in this world."Alpha Liam." Fraya was hiding in the shadows of an open door to a dark room. Normally I would be scared shitless to approach her, but after everything that happened with her daughter I didn't think she would show me any harm."Fraya" I nodded in respect to her."Please come join us a moment." She opened the door more and all I saw was darkness. I probably shouldn't enter, but with all the liquid courage I consum
Riley POVTo say I was nervous walking along the immaculate sidewalks of Seattle headed straight to a twenty two story building, where my new job would be, was an understatement. I wore my black power suit, red cami paired with my red silhouettes for an extra confidence boost but I don't think it was helping much.Not only was everything all new; from the town, to the people, to my job, but I had this stupid anxiety knocking in my chest. This morning I second guessed even wearing a skirt to work because of all the bullshit with Darell. I brushed it off and wore the suit anyways, but in the back of my mind I thought maybe I was over doing it. I shouldn't feel uncomfortable and never had before. Even Becky's voice saying "you always wear those tight outfits..." rang through my head.My clothes weren't tight, my skirt wasn't short, and my cami didn't show any cleavage. What I wore was appropriate, but also fabulous. I pitched my head up a little higher and walked through the front door
Liam POVThe drive back home was excruciating. Jax sat beside me continuously letting growls out. It was becoming the way he breathed. Lindsey sat across from me with her hands folded at her lap, back straight, and face neutral. She didn't show fear or apprehension, but I could smell it rolling off her. The idea of an Alpha mate was pleasing to any wolf. With her being an Alpha herself and me the strongest of all our kind I know her wolf was glowing in pride. It would be easy to just let our animal side take over. We could not feel any moral obligation to another. Just pure animalistic need to rule, dominate, and fuck. I wanted to let go of my human side after this weekend. Become lost in pure instinct, but my conscience nagged at me. Could I really just take this little Asian wolf across from me as my mating partner? Let her run the pack as Luna during the day then break her body in new ways every night. Maverick growled in approval, but when I forced images of our mate in my he
Liam POVJax didn't budge one inch from Maverick trying to force his submission. After all he only submitted to me when he wanted to. Being his Alpha made his wolf want to more often than he liked, but not right now."I'm done with this Liam. Have your mating whore and have your Luna, but you will be finding a new Beta. Release me!" He demanded.I stumbled back at his words. I would never let him go. "No!" I growled back at him. "If you make her your Luna I will break our bond. I don't care how much it will hurt our pack. Either let me go or I will force you too." He stormed out my office, slamming my door behind him."Fuck!" I roared, sending my chair threw my window. I knew I would have to let him go eventually. I had to make Lindsey my Luna. Losing my best friend would be devastating, but losing my pack would be unthinkable. I couldn't sacrifice their lives for my own selfish needs.Lindsey was smart, witty, and already showed me she could be a Luna my pack needed. This was the wa
