Benji’s POVMy legs felt a little wabbly walking down the terminal as I exited the plane. It had been a long flight, and I was needing to get my bearings from finally being on solid ground again. The time difference wasn’t helping either. Every part of me ached from sitting for so long and I knew the only thing that could cure this was a good strong cup of coffee. My team and I gathered together and started walking to the luggage pickup area, each grumbling softly to our own selves. We were all equally tired and needed a good rest.We had arrived in the North in the beginning of morning, and outside the airport vast windows the sun slowly rose, uncovering the darkness blanketed everything it had once touched. There was something old world about the North; an untouched space in a historical timeline from modern development greeted us.“I am freezing already, and we haven’t even made it outside yet! Bee! I need a wolfy cuddle!” Bennet pushed down the long sleeves of his sweater over his
Benji’s POVWe drove away from the airport in the two black SUVs to our destination in the Northeastern Territory. It didn’t take long to feel like we had stepped out of reality and into the fantastic pages of a fantasy novel. Large multi-colored trees towered over the winding roads like guarded sentinels to the beauty of the looming mountains in the distance. The giants of rock and earth with their jagged peaks rose into the mystic clouds to see the heaven like stairway to the gods.I couldn’t catch my breath from the multitude of hues before me. Everywhere I looked it was something new to see. A paint and canvas of field of wildflowers, rows and rows of farmlands, groups of cabins all scattered around the vast lands. Was the North frozen in time by some magical spell preserving its beauty?“Twenty more minutes and we will be at the capital packhouse…” Our driver said breaking the silence of the vehicle.But I couldn’t comprehend anything but what my eyes were seeing. Massive fields
Conrad’s POV“Alpha Conrad, we don’t expect anything but food and shelter. We are here to do a job at YOUR request, not be wined and dined. Now we will be leaving here in just a few minutes and should be at your pack in about….” There was a short pause, “in about two hours. Is that satisfactory to you?”Who the hell did this Sherlock person think he was talking too like that? I am the Alpha! Yeah, I insinuated that he was expecting some glamorous welcome. Dr. Mason was an arrogant ass, he better be worth all of this fuss. We know nothing about this doctor. He could be a fake for all I know. This was the first time we have spoken since Doc said they were on their way from the states to the North. Ok. Yes, I dropped the ball on my duties to reach out, but I have been a little busy, so I left that task up to Doc.I was stunned by his snarky attitude, but if I retaliated there was a chance he would turn around and leave. Doc would kill me if that happened. I would have to grin and bare it
Conrad’s POVI enter the pack house through the Omega staff entrance on the far side of the building. I didn’t want to come in through the front doors. I wanted them to think I was waiting for them, not off doing my duties. I cross through the long hallway to find my Delta Canice standing impatiently pacing. He must have known I’d come this way. When he sees me, he lets out a sigh of relief.“Hey, they here?” I say as I rush by him. Our boots’ footsteps echoing on the wooden floors as we sprint to the front of the packhouse. I hate being late. There’s a rule I always like to follow: if I am on time, I am late, if I am early, I am on time and if I am late, why did I even bother showing up?He nods as he follows close behind me. “Yeah, they are in the living room waiting to meet us. Shamus is already there with Sean.”My wolf, Titus, starts to pace back and forth in my mind. Lately he has been agitated, but never explains why. He is growling and snarling close to the forefront. ‘What i
Benji’s POVThe nurse leads Artemis and I to a door marked with “Chief of the Hospital” in big black letters on the frosted glass. She knocks and a low voice answers. We walk in and see a man with dark rimmed glasses sitting behind a single desk. He’s a typical werewolf male, tall, well-built, and handsome. He has short reddish blonde hair which styled to one side and deep blue eyes. He looks up from his desk and eyes us curiously like he wasn’t expecting to see us.“Dr. Lancon…” The nurse bows and exits the room. I look around at the walls of the office and see several diplomas and certificates neatly framed along the walls.Artemis moves forward and decided to start the conversation. “Good afternoon, Dr. Lancon. I am Artemis, Head warrior from the Blue Eclipse Pack.” She reaches out her hand and the doctor shakes it. “This is Dr. Benji Mason. You requested her assistance with the recent epidemic.”Artemis steps out of the way so I can offer my hand, but the doctor doesn’t move to ta
Bennet’s POVI wake up to the sound of knocking on my bedroom door. The sun is not fully up above the mountain view, I look at the time and groan in irritation. I have only slept about three hours and this sexy gay man needs at least 9 hours to function without pulling out my bitch card and slapping someone with it.Another knock… Dammit I hope it is not the Alpha again. He has been giving me a look I can only describe as confusion and uncertainty. While Benji was off doing her superhero Sherlock thing at the hospital last night, the rest of the team and I went to have dinner with the Alpha and his squad with a few of their warriors who were assigned to us. He requested I sit next to him at the long Alpha table. He periodically would glance up at me from his dinner plate which sent a shiver up my spine. Not the kind that make your dick get up and sing the praises to the Cum Gods, but the one that makes you wish you had bought stock in pepper spray. Don’t get me wrong, he is drop dead
Bennett’s POV“Well, well, well, Isn’t it the human who always came in second place…” Hazel smiles a toothy grin as she gives me a sneering look as if I am something disgusting that needs to be taken out with the trash. Her blonde hair swinging with the sway of her hips. Her tight skinned dress is tackier than my grandmother’s couch. ‘Probably made out of the same material.’ I think to myself.What in the hell is she doing in the North anyway? Wasn’t she supposed to be back in the Crystal Lake Pack with her parents, demoted to Omegas? After what happened with the Alpha King of the States, I thought she was band from traveling. Does Ciara and Alpha Mars know she is here? Shit. I should call them. I move to stand closer to the woman’s bathroom; hoping Hazel’s destination isn’t the same. “Well, isn’t it the skank who’s been around more times than a Merry Go Around at the state fair.” I smile back as I cross my arms. Hazel and I have been enemies since middle school… debate enemies. We
Conrad’s POVMy morning has been complete shit since the moment I woke up. First, I didn’t sleep well because of my avoidance behavior situation with Hazel. I knew she was going to try and come to my room last night for sex, and since I THINK I potentially met my mate... Very Male... mate. I didn’t want to do something stupid like sleep with her. Do humans feel the pain of betrayal? I didn’t want to find out and every time she is near me with her floral fragrance, I lose all control of my senses and my dick has a mind of its own. So, I did the only thing a strong Alpha like me could do at that moment. HIDE. I hid in my kids’ room. Hazel wont come near my kids. When I woke up stiff and irritable from sleeping on their floor, I realized I was running late and wasn’t able to meet Dr. Bennet and his team before they went to the hospital like I was hoping too. I wanted my wolf to get another good sniff of him, maybe he got the whole mate thing wrong?‘I smell mate.’ Is all Titus keeps tell
Text Message ConversationsBenji: Conrad? Are you busy? For a quickie?Conrad: Hey love, never busy for you. For a quickie huh? I’m always up for a quickie. Do you want me to come to the lab or do you want to come to the packhouse?Benji: Can you click on the link and meet me in the secured chat room?Conrad: Oh, So you want to do some dirty talk first without anyone knowing huh? Benji: And can you send the link to your squad as well? The password is Saved by the BellConrad: Wait… What? You said QUICKIE! And Why didn’t you put that whole thing in one text message? You got my hopes up… and something else up as well. I haven’t seen in you in over 24 hours, my dick is hard and disappointed.Benji: Ew Perv! Now click the link and meet the team in the chat room with your squad.Secure Chat roomBenji: Bennet why did you call Conrad a perv? And I never told you to tell him Quickie! I said Quick-LY! As in time sensitive. Sorry Conrad, I gave Bennet my phone to text you for me since I was
Benji's POV “Why not? Telling him what your family said and how you feel will change… Oh…” Then it dawned on me. Why he wouldn’t tell Bennet yet. Knowing Bennet, he would tell him to chose his family. Family is so important to Bennet since he was adopted. Dean nodded his head.“I made my choice and I don’t regret it one bit. Even if he doesn't accept me, I can't be with a family that would abanded me so quickly just because of who my mate is.” Dean’s eyes met mine and even though there was some sadness in his dark orbs, there was also hope. “Now just need to win him over.”“OH NO! You are not being in charge of the trivia cards again! I can’t be stuck in a room for the next Goddess-knows how many hours listening to you rant and rave about 80s and 90s pop culture!”We heard Ashley yell at Gray through the door. I laughed and Dean looked mildly amused. “This is going to be interesting, isn’t it?”I smile warmly at him, “Yep…” Then a thought occurred to me. “When Bennet does accept you,
Benji’s POV (Forty-eight hours prior to Alpha Meeting)“I am going to send maintenance to come clean up the mess, and then I am going over to meet some of my warriors so we can get to the bottom of this. Ok?” Conrad’s words gave me no comfort as I continued to look down at the frozen image of the man on the screen. I was pretty certain I had seen him before, but I couldn’t quit put a finger on it. I simply nodded my head, but I was already formulating plans of my own in my head as Conrad and his men left the lab.I can’t believe someone would destroy the lab. I mean, this isn’t the first time someone tried to stop us from solving a mystery, but it was never to this level of intent. The broken glass, destroyed computers, books shredded, our lab equipment… all just gone. This just solidify my thoughts that the illness was man-made and I needed to get to the bottom of it. With new determination, I looked around the room at my team. If I was going to get them back to their A game, I am go
Nathaniel’s POVI can hear my phone buzzing uncontrollably for the last ten minutes, but I ignore it. I am too busy right now to be bothered with whoever is calling. The caramel blonde sucking my cock is getting a jaw workout as she bobs up and down on my hard member. “Yeah, Benjamina… That’s it… suck like a dirty slut you are.”Pictures of the beautiful doctor litter my desk. Pictures of her leaving the packhouse, at the coffee shop, walking into the hospital. One of Davis’s spies sends me daily updates on her just like I requested. Fuck I want to see more of her, especially with her underneath me while I plow deep inside her. I wanna see tears run down her cheeks and fear on her face. I want to see her body covered in bruise marks and my bites all over that pretty unblemished skin. My dirty thoughts tighten my balls causing cum to explode out of my shaft. My hands push down the female’s head so I can shoot my load down her throat. She struggles some, but I don’t care. I am getting m
Conrad’s POVBenji and I haven’t spoken much in the last forty-eight hours unless it was through text message about the break-in at the lab. We also haven’t had a chance to talk about why she woke up sobbing. Did I do something wrong? Was I mistaken in thinking that our night together was perfect? She was full of passion and responsive towards my touch but then fell asleep so suddenly afterwards. It made me slightly disappointed, but I could feel through the bond how exhausted she was. She is working so hard to figure out this strange illness and I guess her body just gave out. Holding her through the night did bring me the peace I truly needed. With every intake of air I took, her scent filled it. I knew at that moment when we both fell asleep in each other’s arms, I could never let her go back to the states. She is mine. My future, my luna, my mate.After Bee got the mind-link from one of her staff members, we rushed over to the hospital to find everything at the lab in complete chao
Benji’s POV“If you want me to stop… I will stop…” Conrad says as he pulls me close to his hard chest, giving me warmth I didn’t realize I needed. His callous fingers caress the small of my back as I listen to his rapid beating of his heart. He’s waiting… Waiting for me to make a decision. “I can see you hesitating, Benji Love. If you say stop… I stop…” I raise my head just enough so I can see his eyes. Those beautiful icy blue orbs express the things I need to leap forward. Hope I will give him a chance. Patience for my reluctance. Love for his mate. Everything I need is in his eyes. So, I leap.Rising up on the balls of my feet, I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his lips. “Take me…” The sensual words leave me as barely a whisper. The heat ignites between us. His arms wrap around me tighter, deepening the kiss, letting our tongues explore and fight for dominance. He lifts me up and places me on the bed. His large body towering over me. Tingles electrify my body when his lips
Benji’s POVBefore I knew it, we had reached the double doors of the hospital. My mind was so consumed with everything that Regi and Holly had shared at lunch. Why did I feel so uneasy about what I saw between Hazel and Conrad today? Sure, it was a trick to keep her distracted, but couldn’t there be other ways they could have used? I mean from my experience, Hazel is pretty easy to distract with shiny things. Hand her a Credit card and call it a day…“Bee, I… uh… Have to ask Dean something, I will meet you up there ok?” Bennet says after looking down at his phone with a frown. I nod my head and keep walking towards the elevator, letting my thoughts continue spacing me out.Stepping out the elevator onto our floor, I accidentally bumped into a hard wall of chest and blue fabric. An older gentleman, maybe he was a janitor, grabbed my arms to steady me. I tried to see his eyes so I could apologize properly, but he wore his hat extremely low while averting his eyes downwards. He did seem
Benji’s POV“That Bitch!” Bennet hissed close to my ear as I stared at Conrad and Hazel getting cuddly with each other. The dining hall was buzzing with chatter about the two being all lovey dovey with each other. But the whispers didn’t bother me, it was the neutral expression that passed between us that broke my heart. His eyes briefly met mine, giving nothing away before he looked back at Hazel with a smile. A world wind of questions popped into my mind. Was he under her spell again? Or was this for real? Did he really want her and was using me? I sniffed the air and smelled a faint scent of floral, but it wasn’t as strong as before.“Fucking look at him!” Bennet threw out again. Seeing my mate nuzzle Hazel’s neck made the bile rise in my throat. So, this is what rejection feels like? He hadn’t said the words, but we both knew the truth. Dehlia howled in my head, her pain flooded my body. He is choosing Hazel, but I couldn’t say I wasn’t completely surprised. Just caught off guard.
Bennet's POV “First things first, how are you feeling?” I asked, looking at my cousin’s pained expression when she maneuvered her body in the bed. After the former Alpha and Luna left, I helped Benji change her clothes which didn’t go down well with Conrad. His overprotective growl of me touching his mate made me want to bop him on the nose and call him a bad dog before putting him in timeout. I don’t care if he is my cousin’s mate, I don’t put up with that kind of behavior. I am a doctor, I have seen my fair share of naked people, my cousin being one of them. Plus, I am GAY, DUH!Bee smiled up at me once she was settled comfortably in her bed, “Better… I hate being stuck in this bed. I really need to get to the lab.” I could tell she was feeling better since there was some sass in that whine of her. She even looked refresh after a good washdown with a washcloth and a fresh pair of clothes.I propped her leg up with an extra pillow, making sure the bandages weren’t wet or needed to b
