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
Liam POVAnother growl left my lips so I turned and walked out, slamming the door behind me. Jax’s very clear act of defiance and disobedience was making my wolf claw at my insides. I felt like I had no control left in my pack or personal life. I was losing everything, when I barely had much to start.I walked the halls of this building, not speaking a word. Most scurried away from me, but the few brave ones that tried speaking were met with my wolf. A wolf no one wanted to know.By the time lunch came around I was ready to boil over. This was ending today. I stormed in the conference room, ignoring the light laughter from Jax and his three omega, one human, and one hybrid new hires. I didn't personally mind them intermingling, but the implication could be devastating, especially to my pack."I want the female and abomination gone. Brandon, remove them from this building." I was no longer the friend or business partner. I was their Alpha speaking. The omega's bowed their heads while
Riley POVI have been working for two weeks proving myself more and more with every account. Jax was still in a foul mood, but he rarely let it out on anyone. I felt bad that something was eating away at him. I had no idea what it was or how to help though. My coworkers still seemed to be giving me the cold shoulder, but they didn't disrespect me. I didn't want to be loved by everyone so it was fine by me. As long as my staff did their work and listened to me, I was ok with not being their friends.Brandon was here everyday, we even regularly got lunch together, and I was happy to have met him. I still didn't understand how he had two jobs and seemed to do them so well. Since both of his jobs involved being close to me I wasn't going to complain. The past few weekends we spent getting completely wasted at the bar, after dancing half the night away. I was enjoying this little rhythm we had. My father had called everyday and soon he would start his treatment. I nearly ran back home w
Liam POVIt was amusing watching Riley try to ignore the man's comments while also pitching ideas to help his business. Alpha Danny was a brute and didn't hide it. He, of course, wasn't nearly as rough as he normally is simply because I was there. He wasn't sure if I was protecting this human girl or not, but everyone was careful not to piss off Demetrius. Alerting a human to our ways was the best way to get your head taken off."So, let me get this straight." Danny adjusted his body in his seat. "You think my business is a failure and I need to stop making handcrafted works of art from these very trees surrounding us, and start making piece of crap furniture that would break just from touching it, or I'll lose everything?" Oh, he was about to explode. Riley actually presented herself very well and avoided any harsh comments about his truly failing business, but Alpha Danny has been told this same story for years. "No sir, that's not what I'm saying. You can still make anything you
Riley POVThe second we hit the elevators my body started to calm down, allowing my brain to take back control. Holy fucking shit, we did not just do that, and not in Jax's office.The whole ride down Liam was back to his smog asshole attitude. God, I wish I could be so carefree. How is it that a man can fuck a woman and feel like a king, but a woman feels like a dirty whore. Oh my god, he even called me that. I squeezed my thighs together, then bolted out of the parking garage. We didn't need to say goodbye. We didn't need to say anything, ever again.The second I got home I jumped in a long shower, then soaked in the bath. Fuck, he was right! I was going to be sore tomorrow. Shit! I'm sore right now. He did have a very thick cock and he did pound hard into me. I couldn't complain because one; I begged him, and two; even now just the thought of it was making me want him again.I sank my head under the water, trying to hide from my embarrassment. Why did I lose myself so easily to him
Riley POV"I see you spoken to Liam. Did he play nice." Jax smiled at me and all my anger disappeared.He looked much better today, and sexy as hell in a black suit with a blue dress shirt. His eyes were like a clear sky just after it rains."Yes, but I left him wanting." I shot my head back in Liam's direction. His glare darkened as if he could actually hear me."I see. He seems to be quite angry. Maybe we should head to lunch to let him calm down some.""I would love too, but I didn't get any work done. The dictator had me and Conner sifting through his paperwork all morning.""Well, I'm sure your boss won't mind. At least one of them." He nodded to Liam and I swear he was ready to explode. It was impossible he could hear our conversation, but I swear his eyes turned just about black as Jax spoke. I didn't care though. He was an ass all day, let him be in a bad mood. Maybe he won't treat everyone below him like ants to squish for fun."Ok, let's go!" My face lit up as I ran back to
Riley POV"Ruby, coffee!" The tyrant ordered.I wanted to spill the burning hot coffee all down his hard body, burning those ridiculously delicious abs. Then I could lick... fuck! I can’t even hate the man without wanting to fuck him. I don't believe in magic, but I swear I'm going to find anyone that claims to be a witch to de-spell me of this beast."You're coffee sir." I smiled sweetly to him as I set his cup down. I chose the black mug everyday just like his soul. I know, I'm pathetic. Liam's golden caramel eyes threaded with hints of green peered at me over his mug as he took a slow sip. I could feel the tension in the air and I hated myself for staring back at him. I hate myself even more when I lick my lips, but they were dry, very, very dry."This is disgusting. Almost as disappointing as you. Go to the cafe in town and get me a real one." His gaze was all hatred as he spoke to me.My jaw clenched at his request. I needed to get my real work done and I didn't have time for t
Liam POV"What was that about Liam?" Jax was pissed and I kind of loved it. All the shit he gives me he deserved to get some in return."I don't know what you are talking about." I twirled my pen in my hand smiling at my Beta. He stood rigidly in front of me, making my wolf perk up to challenge him. He was my Beta and best friend, but I was also his Alpha. I had a slow burning itch to make him submit to me. To make everyone submit to my wolf's power.He spent hours grilling me about the dangers of pursuing a relationship with a human, especially one so intermingled with our pack. Most of our members found a respect for Riley since she helped so many. I don't think she was aware of it, but she had a natural way of comforting and solving other's problems. It made me love breaking her down even more when we were alone. I heard her packing up for the night and knew this was my last chance to get the three of us alone. "I think we should speak with her. Try to clear the air between us."
