Jax POVI spent the last month following Riley's every order and I did it with pride. She didn't realize it, but she was awakening into her true Luna position. I explained the hierarchy and so much more to her already. I hoped it would click what she was meant to be to our pack, but she seemed mostly concentrated on protecting our son. In a few weeks we will merge our spirits and my wolf will split into two, creating a new wolf for her to possess. I was confident that when she became a full werewolf she would understand her true self, so I didn't push it. Instead, I eased her into the idea with little nudges.Liam was a miserable dick around us and constantly growling at our pack. Everyone feared him, but they also respected him as well as his power. Growing up in the supernatural world we all understood the overwhelming power we held. We also understood that Liam had much more than any of us to keep in check. We wanted his strength, but also feared it.Riley was feigning for his to
"The Queen of sealing a deal. The Queen Closer!" Brandon tipped his glass to my nonexistent one. "Why aren't you drinking?" He seriously asked me.I looked to my obvious baby bump and back to him. He didn't get the hint though. "How much have you had to drink?""Too much!" Barry took his cup from him. "Hey! I like drinking that. It makes feel all funny inside." Brandon pouted as he rubbed his chest. Barry watched him with eyes that wanted to feel his chest too. They were going to be so hot together."I think he is going to need a ride home soon. Promise to make sure he gets home ok." I asked Barry."Of course, Riley.""I don't need to go home." Brandon demanded like a toddler. Jesus, he was not getting the hint, again."Let Barry take you home, to bed." I winked at him. "Mmm, that is a great idea. Will you tuck me in too?" Brandon leaned his head to his shoulder. Way too obvious. He has no game when he is drunk."No!" Barry looked annoyed as he spoke, but lightly chuckled and didn't
Jax POVLiam stood behind Riley and I felt his growing arousal, as well as, smelt hers. I took Riley's hand and brought her to my office. As I closed the door I nodded for Liam to follow. He smirk at me with dark eyes."Are you ok?" My hand roamed over her belly, listening intently for my son's heartbeat. It was stronger than ever and made me feel so full of happiness. I always wanted a family, but now with a mate and a child so close to being in this world it was truly the only thing I wanted.I loved my pack, needed to lead them alongside Liam, but Riley and my children would always be my world."I'm ok, I promise. It felt good too." She smiled at me as she wrapped her arms around my neck. My door opened but neither us turned to look at the man that enter. We were lost in each other's eyes and it was the only place I wanted to be."I see you two are still disgustingly in love." Liam spoke with discontent, but wrapped his arms around Riley from behind. His hands soothed her growing
Brandon POV"That was fun!" I said with a stupid giggle. I knew I was drunk, but not black out drunk."Yeah, I think you had more fun than any of us." Barry put his hands on my waist and guided me to my bedroom. Goddess, I wished he would join me here tonight."Why didn't you have more to drink? You never just let go and have... fun." I said peeling my shirt off. His eyes raked my chest and I smiled inside. He was definitely checking me out, or at least my drunk mind was making me think so."I have three crazy sisters to watch over.""They are all adults." I chuckled kicking off my shoes."I should go. You are good, right?" He shot his thumb behind him. I grabbed my belt buckle curious if I was really making him uncomfortable or not. "I'm good. Actually, can you get me water? I would try to find my way to the kitchen but I might wake with a few bruises if I do." I bit my lip thinking how I would like to wake with a few bruises from those large delta hands and massive dick I know he i
Liam POVJax came home with guests and it put me in a fowl mood. I was already fuming how Riley denied me and now watching them all candidly speak as friends had my jealousy through the roof. I wanted to be with them, especially Jax and Riley, but I couldn't let go of this fear inside me.Jack spoke a long while with Barry after dinner too. I had a feeling he was going to choose him as our lead Delta. Another one of my pack members that is already too attached to Riley.I couldn't find sleep easily, especially knowing she was wrapped in Jax's arms, and I was here by myself. It was better this way though. I had an entire pack to protect and not a single clue how with all this weird shit going on.All month I stomped around the pack house in a bad mood. Lindsey was the only one that spoke to me as the others were too afraid. I wanted to take her body to release this tension inside me, but my desire for Jax and Riley was greater. I was going to explode and now I was beyond pissed Riley ga
Riley POV"Good morning, beautiful!" Jax's sleepy voice with a deep roughness hit my ears and I wanted to moan. I swear he got more sexier every day that passed."Good morning!" I said as I looked out the kitchen window."I don't like waking without you by my side." His arms wrapped around my waist and I felt his bare chest against my silk pajamas."Sorry. I had a bad dream and came to get some tea to help settle my nerves.""Wake me next time. I don't want to be asleep while you're in pain."I smiled as I sank deeper into his arms. How did I find this incredible man? "I'm not in pain, just confused. Today feels off.""What do you mean?""I don't know. I dreamt of my magic being ripped from me again, but this time my mother warned me. It was always the same dream, but last night as the white light burned my insides I saw my mother's face clearly in the light.""You never told me about this. How long have you been having this dream?""Since the first night I arrived here. I'm sure I m
Liam POV'The alpha Lycan is at our gates.' One of my guards told me through my link.'Let him through.' I approved, but I didn't really have a choice. "You ready?" I looked to Lindsey, praying she was as submissive to my orders to lie to Demetrius as she was in bed. I can't let him know of Riley."Yes, Master." She moved to my side and ran her hand over my chest. Goddess, I loved when she called me that. If I didn't have so much fear running through me, I would bend her over right here to let out some of this tension inside me. I fucking hated this man.I took a rough kiss from her mouth to clear my thoughts. I can't show my disgust to Demetrius. I knew he wouldn't kill me, especially since the sick bastard wanted my daughters, but he would make me do as he wanted one way or another.We walked out of the pack house just as his oversized SUV limo pulled into the driveway. "Demetrius!" I bowed my head to him as he approached. He was the tallest man of any I knew and his body was fill
Jax POVWe arrived home after dinner and the second we walked in the door Liam's arm were around me. The pack house was silent and I assumed he sent them all away."What happened?" I asked with a hard breath. He was more rattled than I thought he would be.Liam pulled out of my arms and leaned his head to mine. "Nothing!" He chuckled and stepped back."Nothing?" Riley said. "That can't be. I could feel his presence was coming and it would be devastating."Liam gave her a small smile then pulled her close to him. "He had a hundred sick ideas and I know I'm included in half of them, but today he didn't ask anything of me.""What of Lindsey?" I wanted to know what he agreed too. Liam turned Riley so her back was to his front and his hands roamed over her stomach. I knew how calming it was to feel her carrying our child."I told him I would mark her on the silver moon. We have to kill her before then." Liam said in all seriousness.Shock doesn’t properly explain what those words did to me.
