“Cozy?” Zand mind links me as he walks in and notices Liberty peacefully reclined against me.

“She was a bit emotional. Not sure why, but she seems a better now.” I hear the sigh of relief he breathes out across the room. No doubt thinking the same as I did, she must be feeling the bond more if she is looking to us for comfort.

“Zand, move your arse, it’s starting.” Lottie calls to him impatiently. Considering the veritable stockpile she managed to carry on her own, it’s amusing to watch Zand trying to juggle four drinks.

“Grab a few blankets from the other ottoman before you sit down, Lottie has put this one out of action.” I bite back my laugh, knowing he must feel a pang of longing, seeing Liberty so close to me. I know I would if the roles were reversed. Its new territory for both of us. When I knew he was in the shower with her earlier Max almost lost his shit. I know deep down that Zand is better with emotions and has a knack for seeing things through the eyes of others. I a

  • Twin Alphas' abused mate    Nightmares

    Liberty’s POV“You see what I have to do, you selfish, useless, little whore.” Kendrick’s scarlet, snarling face is only a couple of feet from the bars of my cage as he spits his venomous words in my direction. His angry purple cock is gripped firmly in his hand, the head of it bending crookedly to the side. The nightly routine runs through my mind with such clarity, I can taste the fear in the air. Another one of his maids kneels before him, her red blotchy face, steaked with tears. Each night is a different girl as he cycles through his victims. She knows what is coming, there is no way the rest of the pack house don’t hear the cries, or notice when one of them goes missing. The same as every other night. He grabs a fist full of her hair, making her scream as he yanks he head back. He has snapped more than on neck as I watch in horror, bars preventing me from doing anything be spectate.“Please Alpha..” she begs, but her pleas fall on deaf ears, instead he takes the opportunity of

    The mattress breathes and groans as the men either side of me stir. I’ve shifted in my sleep and am now laying on my back, a heavy arm from either side lays across my chest pulling me into the mattress, its soft form moulding around me. Each of the twins have one of my legs wrapped up in theirs, keeping me from being able to close them and the t-shirt I’m wearing has ridden up around my waist in my sleep. I keep my eyes closed, not ready to wake up just yet, I can’t remember the last time I had a restful sleep, my greedy mind wants more but it’s no use, I’m wide awake. Tingles run up and down me left leg, coaxing the nerves to life under my skin. Sparks fizz and flow in waves up my other leg, the two sensations meeting at my core, causing an unfamiliar warm pressure deep in my tummy. A few minutes pass and I’m resigned to my fate, being pinned to the bed until the guys wake up. I tried to lift their arms, but the dead weight was just too much for me, especially from this angle. “Goo

    “Yes?” he asks. I manage a small nod, expecting Zander to break away. He does no such thing and Christian disappears from sight. The bed dips near my legs and I’m momentarily distracted by Zander rolling one of my nipples between his thumb and finger, he pulls my leg further to the side with his own leg. Sparks rush over me as Christian lifts my other leg to the side, spreading me before himself. I feel heat rising in my cheeks, I know he is looking right between my legs, I can feel his eyes wandering over me, examining me in my vulnerable state. Rough stubble grazes my sensitised skin and his warm flat tongue strokes a blazing trail towards my leaking core. Zander kisses from my mouth, down my jaw, back to my neck, lifting and bunching the top before swiftly pulling it from under me, and off over my head. My fingers slide into Christian’s hair, it’s a feeble attempt to stop his advances. How can I want to feel his mouth there but not want it at the same time? My other hand grasps at

    Zander’s POV“She is so tight, I don’t think he touched her like that.” Christian’s puzzled voice fill my head. He leans in to kiss her, his chin and lips glistening with her sweet nectar. Caleb is going mad inside my head, Our turn to taste little mate, she smells so good and comes so beautifully. He is practically drooling at the thought of her taste on our tongue.“Thank the Goddess for small mercies. Do you think she has another one in her?” I ask silently, grinning over her shoulder like an idiot.“Only one way to find out.” he pulls away from their kiss, the smug bastard looks me straight in the eye, knowing he owns her first orgasm. It was clear from her hesitation and the embarrassment we both felt from her that she has no experience. Christian may have single handedly stolen her first climax, but I will be the first to feel what it’s like to be buried inside her. Something we both thought wouldn’t be possible after putting two and two together about her past. We really ne

    “Let go baby, you don’t need to stop it, we’ve got you.” I encourage her, lifting my head to watch as she comes undone. My thumb takes over rubbing her clit. My other hand lays flat on the soft flesh above her mound and I push down gently, the fingers inside her, curling and thrusting up against her sweet spot. My hand on her moves slightly as my fingers thrust harder and deeper, her pussy clenches and her hips buck as she gets closer to the peak. Watching her skin blush and the way her back arches, pushing her firm, round breasts into Chris’s hands, causes a bead of precum to spill from the tip of my cock, seeping into the tight fabric restraining it. Feeling her pussy spasm and hearing the pause in her breathing, I thrust my fingers harder, deeper and quicker, adding more pressure with my other hand. A strangled moan bounces off the walls as she climaxes, warm jets of her release squirt up my arm. I keep my fingers deep inside, roughly stroking her sweet spot, my palm presses agains

  • Twin Alphas' abused mate    Kiss is better

    We manage to get the three of us clean, it takes a little juggling of limbs and imagination, and our little mate is soon tucked snugly back in her bed. Christian curls around her, pulling her back close to his chest and I lay in front of her, unable to drift back off. I decide to mind link Gabriel and Uriel, mine and Chris’s Betas, to let them know we need to see them in our home office at seven am. Neither of them are happy to be woken up, or be called to such an early meeting, not that they would ever voice their displeasure. Gabe and Uriel guessed the meeting has something to us finding our mate, they felt her mark us through the pack bond, but they are clueless about her circumstances or the fact she has been here for almost a week. It’s not that we don’t trust them, we decided to play our cards close to our chest in case she was a rogue, or spy from another pack. If that had been the case, we would have had to approach the whole situation differently. Knowing she is our mate we w

    “Show me where else.” He licks his lips again. Memories of his lips on me flood to my mind and I can feel his arousal pulsating through our bond. I wonder if Zander can feel it too? I trail a finger up the back of each thigh. He lifts my legs higher in his hands so he can lean under to pepper soft pecks all the way up each leg. When he reaches the very top he stops and his tongue traces intricate swirling paths over my delicate skin.“Stop Christian, that tickles.” I laugh as I try to push his head away. He looks at me, the corners of his eyes crinkling, his mischievous smirk hidden against my rapidly dampening flesh. He lifts my legs higher still and tips me onto my back.“Show me where else you are sore my love.” He remains kneeling but towers above me, my legs draped over his shoulders, my heels brush against his back. My face burns and the thought of where I should point next. To say I am embarrassed is an understatement. Christian takes hold of my wrist and places my hand at th

    Zander’s POV“I’m back baby. That was quite the show.” One I certainly won’t forget for a very long time. “Sorry, I didn’t think…” she starts trying to explain herself.“You don’t need to apologise little one. We are both your mate, what happened is natural, I’m just glad I got to see the grand finale. Although we are going to have to get showered and ready quickly, I heard Lottie crashing around in the kitchen when I saw the guys out.” of course today would be the one day Lottie crawls out of bed before ten. The three of us managed to get showered and ready in under thirty minutes. I was fairly impressed to be honest, Lottie not so much. She is itching to get her retail therapy fix, and happier still that she has Liberty to corrupt. We take on of the pack vehicles, knowing Liberty needs absolutely everything, from clothes and shoes, to toiletries and little bits and pieces to call her own. We found her with not even clothes on her back, and Christian and I are determined to giv

    Twin Alphas' Celestial LunaChapter TwoLottie’s POVRosaline warned me that coming home would be overwhelming and my ties to this place and the land, would be empowering. I believed every word she said, but I didn’t realise how much more power I would have access to just by being back on home turf. I can feel it moving under the ground, spreading from root to root until it channels up through the earth and into me, its willing conduit. I think some of what just happened was probably fear and survival instinct, but it’s not like I was just lighting candles from across the room like I did under Rosaline’s guidance.I’m telling you, those flames must have been ten feet high. I wouldn’t be surprised if I looked in a mirror and saw that I have no eyebrows or eyelashes. My powers might be impressive to an onlooker, but I find them intimidating, especially after the couple of mishaps I had back at the beach house. The less said about that the better. I’m not sure I’ll ever live it down, and

    Twin Alphas' Celestial Luna. Book Two of the Twin Alphas' trilogy Chapter One Liberty’s POV “We will cross that bridge if we come to it.” Christian is here, his voice carries a bit of a warning and a lot of fear. I can hear his words but feel like maybe it’s a dream, or a memory. His presence, regardless of form, soothes me. The salinity of Marcels blood wakes my taste buds, and my mind slowly rouses further. It’s definitely not a memory. Not a conventional one anyway. I have taken the place of Luna Serephena and my mother in my vision. Everything has come full circle and I’m laying here on the damp forest floor being fed the same blood that once sustained my mother, and in turn, me. I’m surprised to notice the blood trickling past my lips is cold, tepid at best. I didn’t think it would be cool on my tongue. I mean, I never really gave much thought at all to what blood would taste or feel like, but I certainly would have expected it to be warm. I tentatively swallow as more of th

    Marcel’s POV Liberty leaps off Zander’s lap and reaches her office door in one single movement. “Where is she going?” Hunter looks at the door, quizzically, then everyone in the room seems to realise at the same time, she has just run off on her own. I know it can’t be because of what I showed her. Nothing about that would have her sprinting from the room like the devil is nipping at her tail. “I have no idea.” I stand but am almost immediately knocked back down by the two hulking Alphas who jump to their feet and make a beeline for the door, hot on the heels of Hunter. Gabriel and Uriel give each other a weary, knowing look, Gabe rubs his chin between his thumb and forefinger and Uriel scratches at the back of his neck. The two of them obviously have no idea what’s happening. “There are wolves at the beach, near The Rocks. They have already taken the lighthouse.” Esme’s flat, emotionless tone is chilling and she sits, staring vacantly into the middle distance, her eyes glazed over

  • Twin Alphas' abused mate    Mind dive

    Liberty’s POV If I have gained any insight from the last few months, it is that holding on to the past is like trying to swim against the tide, with other people's choices dragging you down. It takes a tremendous amount of energy and courage to let go and move on, but it is necessary for our own growth and healing. I’m done with all the anger and sense of personal loss. This is about so much more than me alone, and it is the others like me that I fight for. For my pack, my pups and all the young women who never made it out of that room alive. Justice has been a beacon of hope in my mind throughout this entire journey, giving me strength and courage to push forward even when times have felt impossible, especially during the moments when Kendrick's haunting presence invades my nightmares. I have been blessed with the opportunity to truly live life on my own terms, something that I never thought was possible or even wanted before. I won’t allow anyone to taint it. Averson has fucked

    Imelda’s POVMy family is small and scattered across the world, but most beloved of these is my only grandson Hunter, who I last saw when he was a baby. Afraid of his untapped powers in the wrong hands, my daughter and her mate pleaded with me to bind his powers and help hide him from the magical world, his Alpha blood and magical heritage would make him a target for his entire life. I did as they asked and bound Hunter's gifts so he could live his life safely and happily. It was a difficult decision to make, yet necessary in order to keep him hidden and protected from the dangers of the mortal world and power hungry shifter rebellion.They both agreed that when he came of age, I would lift the binding and protection ward, and he would travel to the far lands with me to learn how to use his gifts, something his mother would have taught him as he grew into them naturally in normal circumstances.Over the years, I kept a close watch over Hunter despite physical distance. From afar, I ha

    Hunter’s POVI don’t remember if I ever saw my mother shift, I must have, I can’t recall any time in particular, but then, I don’t remember much of my younger years at all. I have maybe four or five clear memories, none of them good, but all the little details are lost to my struggle for survival after a left the pack.I knew I wouldn’t have any semblance of a life if I stayed there. The way my mother was treated showed me that. I understand now. Ever since the truth came to light about my identity, when Esme helped me fill in the blanks, I would have been next in line to be Alpha. Not that I could prove my parentage, but the threat was obviously real enough for them to take extreme measures to make sure the truth never came to light.She was different, no matter what they put her through, she always had a smile for me at the end of a long, hard day. She would sing, and tell me stories of brave men and women, their struggles and triumphs. She never hid the savagery of the world from m

  • Twin Alphas' abused mate    Running out of time

    Liberty’s POV When Esme told me she wasn’t coming to The Rocks with the rest of us, I was surprised. I may have only recently got to know my aunt again, but it became obvious soon after her arrival that she likes to insert herself into all and every drama. Everything was put right in the world a couple of minutes later when she pulled me discreetly to one side and told me that someone would arrive here whilst we were all gone. Obviously I was reluctant to leave her on her own to begin with, but she assured me that she would be perfectly safe. She said she knew who was coming and they are no threat to us. In fact, they are here with Averson and have been expected for some time. Averson was on the beach with Gabe and I was itching to get the answers to many questions. I have had his name weaving between everything going on in my head for days now. Up until yesterday I had no idea who he is, why he would come here, or what his arrival means. So I did the only thing I could think to do.

  • Twin Alphas' abused mate    Family drama

    Averson’s POV This is precisely the dramatic affair I had hoped to avoid. Coming face to face with the family that had once thought me dead and I had happily allowed them to live in ignorance of my plight. The son I was taken from and great niece I never knew and couldn’t protect, are now on their way to pass judgement on me. I can only hope their minds are open to the reality of what I have to tell them. When news reached me of my former pack’s annihilation I spent several long months in the mountains, riding the cusp between somewhat sane and feral, torturing myself with the what if’s. I knew I should have returned home sooner and taken my place at the head of the pack. I could have warned them all about what was going in so close to our doorstep. I escaped two years one hundred and thirty seven days after the rebellion captured me, but I chose to stay away for over two decades. That is on me, and it’s a burden that has grown in weight every single day since. When Alderian stepped
