Chapter 42SelineI look down at the broken plates on the floor.“LACY, these were new"“Don’t!” my friend points a finger in my direction, her face red with anger.“Don’t you fucking dare.”I FALL SILENT. When Lacy curses, it’s never a good sign.“YOU’RE DYING, and you didn’t think to tell me?!”I WINCE as another plate smashes against the wall.“LACY,” I begin, but then I see the tears in her eyes.“I’M your best fucking friend, Seline! We grew up together!” She’s shaking now, tears falling from her pretty eyes. “And you hide something like this from me?”THE TRUTH WAS INEVITABLE. But I should have handled it better.WHEN LACY BROUGHT me back to the apartment and held me as I threw up so viciously, questions were asked, and I had no choice but to answer.“I’M GOING to kill that bastard.”LACY’S ANGER has calmed me down a little, enough to sort through my own battered feelings. “No, you won’t.”THE PAIN inside me is more than just emotional. It’s a physical pain, and I know it’s beca

Chapter 41Seline I spend the next two days stewing over this new issue.One thing I notice is that from the moment my shift begins, Jason, Ray, Seth, and Lexi take a table and sit there until the end of my shift. All of these men are in Austin’s inner circle of friends, and to have them watching me makes me unnerved. But I can’t kick them out because they buy a drink or something to eat every hour.Three whole days pass when Austin finally makes an appearance.It’s when the bar is about to close. I see Austin slip in, and his companions nod at him and leave. Seeing him after that night makes my abdomen tighten in need, and I look away, cursing my traitorous body.There’s only one other customer there who’s about to get ready to leave.“We’re closed,” I say loudly, making the old swan shifter nearly jump out of his skin, and I add, “Not you, Mr. Lopez. I’ve called you a cab.”Mr. Lopez gives me a grateful look, but Austin doesn’t leave. I walk past him, ignoring him as I pick up a ch

Chapter 50SelineI freeze. “Excuse me?”Jess wets her lips, looking guilty. “Austin didn’t reject you because he wanted to. If he chose you, he would have had to leave the pack. I don’t think he would have minded that. But the thing is that right now, the only thing standing between the pack elders and the females of the pack isAustin.”I already knew that the Stone Creek Pack was a little more traditionalist than normal, but Jess’s statement sounds a little bizarre.I push my plate away. “What are you talking about?”Jess looks nervous. “Things were fine when Austin’s parents were alive.They kept the pack elders in check. But when Austin went on his first run, we were invaded by another pack, and our Alpha pair were killed. Daston had decided to step in as the Alpha and installed his adopted son, Grey's on, as the pack hunter. Fortunately, Austin returned in time and took the helm since he was already an Alpha in training. He even removed Greyson. But then, our old pack hunter w

Chapter 49When I get to my shift at Benny’s, there is someone already waiting for me.“Oh, dear God!” I glower at Austin. “Did you put a GPS on me?!”“Why did you leave?!” He grabs my wrist and pulls me into a more private area. “Tammy told you to stay still!”“Well, funny story.” I yank my arm away from him, hissing, “I don’t have to listen to you. See how that works?”I can see a mixture of anger and frustration on his face, which I’m all toofamiliar with. “You are not safe right now, Seline! Why can’t you understand that?”“Oh, I know.” I give him a steady look. “One of your people showed up and tried to rip my eyes out of my head as punishment for not staying awayfrom you. He left me with a nice shiny scar as well, as you can see.”Austin’s expression tightens. “Who was it?”“A big ugly brute with scars all over his face and"“Grayson,” Austin breathes. “And you still stayed there?!”“He was dealt with.” I shrug, far more confident now than I was then. “But what I’m starting to

Chapter 48SelineMayor Hamrington wasn’t kidding about docking my salary and overseeingthe repairs. Old miser!I look at my pitiful paycheck for this month. “How am I supposed to eat from this? Or pay rent?!”He gives me an unbothered look. “I already provide one meal per shift and Idon’t know why you’re still paying rent when your mate owns the building.Sort it out with him.”My jaw nearly falls to the ground. “Excuse me? Say that again.”“Your mate bought the building.” The vampire looks at me as if I’m a particularly annoying fly right now.“When?!”“It’s been a while. He sent your previous landlord a very strong message.You should have told me that he was trying to extort sexual favors. That’s just inappropriate.”“I did tell you.” I scowl. “You told me to deal with it.”The old vampire looks surprised. “Did you? I must have forgotten. I guess old age is finally catching up to"“Oh save it!” I growl in frustration, halfway out of the room already. “And he’s not my mate! He do

Chapter 47.SelineIt’s the sound of beeping that wakes me up. Annoyed, I make to turn off the alarm clock, but my body feels far too heavy.And then, I hear the voices.“What do you mean she’s fading away?”That sounds like Austin. If Austin ever sounded anxious and all worked up.“Exactly what I said,” comes a female voice. “She’s all bones, which is bad enough, but her wolf is dying, Austin. I can pour some healing magic in, but not more. I can’t save her.”“You have to, Tammy. You have to save her. She can’t just die like this!”I’ve never heard Austin sound so distraught, and I wonder if I’m dreaming.“This is why you don’t reject a fated bond"“It’s not supposed to kill her, Tammy!” Austin roars.“Stop shouting in my ward,” Tammy says tightly. “And what did you expect to happen, Austin? Come on. She’s a hybrid. Of course, she was going to react negatively to the bond being rejected. God knows how much she’s been suffering so far. It mustn’t have been easy for her.”My mind is st

AlexThe scent of Olive’s arousal filled the room, and i found it to be the most intoxicating smell. My mouth watered, and as i broke the kiss,i trailed my lips down her neck, sucking on her pulse.Her legs wrapped tight around my waist, but i didn’t mind. Moving down, i licked across one nipple before sucking hard. Using my teeth, I created a burst of pain before soothing it out with a flick of my tongue.I did the same to the other nipple, going back and forth between them. They were so big that I couldn’t help pressing her tits together, and just working between both of them. They were incredibly tasty.She let out a whimper and thrashed about on the bed. I loved feeling her wriggle beneath me. It drove me wild, never wanting to stop.“You are so fucking sexy, baby,” i said.Kissing down her stomach, i knelt on the floor and sat back a little when i was level with her pussy. Lifting her legs up, i opened her wide, and the lips of her pussy were spread. Her slick clit was peeking ou

Olive. I paced the room before taking a seat on the edge of the bed.I didn’t know why my old pack alpha was here. Nick had looked rather smug the last time i saw him as he stripped away my dignity. After years of humiliating me, abusing me, hurting me, he had finally gotten the last laugh when I left. My hands shook as i waited for Alex to arrive.I ran my fingers through my hair repeatedly. Suddenly the door opened, and i looked up to see Alex standingin the doorway. He held the key in his hand. He closed the door, and i watched as he locked it.Standing up, i stared at him, waiting, unsure.“What did he want?”“I met your pack alpha and your mother.”“My step mother was here?”“Yes.”“What did they want?”“They wanted you back, Olive.”I shook my head. “No.”“Don’t worry. You are not going anywhere.” He leaned against the door. “They are afraid of you.”“Me?”“Yes. You see, they clearly see that with your power and how strong you are, it makes them weak. All those years that the

AlexOlive was once again in the pool, and i stood back, watching her. She floated on her back, looking up at the sky through the glass I had kept in place. I loved it when the moon was full and shining down on me. We had been training today, and i wanted to come and see if she was okay. I ha d made her attack me, to unleash the full force of her rage.I didn’t have a single bruise on me, but i saw a couple of hers that hadn’t healed just yet.My cock responded to the sight of her naked. She didn’t know i was there, or if she did, it didn’t show in the way she displayed herself.Her tits were so big, with large nipples that I just wanted to press together as i teased them with my tongue.She was a fuller woman, rounded in all the right places.Since I had caught her in my private room, she had been avoiding me, I knew. I rarely saw her around my home, and today was the first time i had to actually summon her to get her near me.Glancing down her body, i stared at the small patch of h

OliveI glanced into the basement where they kept the secured and locked rooms. For several nights I had been dreaming of this place, and it was driving me crazy. I looked behind me and saw no one else was watching. Closing the door, i kept the light on as i made my way downstairs toward the main doors.Each night I dreamed of Alex. Him holding me hard as he pulled me downstairs. No, not pulling, but leading me. I wasn’t scared either.His hand was always around my wrist, and within my dream i held a hint of excitement.At the last step, i looked around each of the rooms that were there for feral wolves. They were empty. Liz told me that we would all be alerted if there were feral wolves on the property. Glancing into each of the rooms, my gaze landed on the one at the back of the stairs.Alex hadn’t wanted to show me that one, and yet in my dreams this was the one that he led me to every single time.Standing in exactly the same position i did in my dream, i tried to peer inside, but

Alex. “You like her,” Carl said.I looked towards my opponent as Olive moved toward the dogs.I noticed she loved my dogs and they adored her, following her around the house and outside wherever she went. This time she was doing laundry with Liz. The other woman kept glancing my way, but i only had eyes for Olive. She wore a pair of jeans, much like the same she always wore. The large shirt hung down over her ass, and i hated how ugly it looked in the way it covered her up.She didn’t have much of a wardrobe, and after a few questions from Liz, i discovered Olive had one suitcase with her, and that was all. I didn’t like that. Her old pack had treated her worse than any dog. I wanted to find her pack and take each one of them out.“Yes, I do,” I said, not caring that my friend gasped. “Why do you sound so surprised? You asked.”“I didn’t expect you to be honest. You like her. This is awesome news. Does she like you?” Carl asked.“I don’t know. I would settle for her not hating me ri

OliveMy throat hurt from the crying, and i couldn’t bring myself to look at anyone as the shame was just too much. I had known he would been trying to draw out my wolf, to make me attack, to make me do something i didn’t want. But I hadn't expected him to go this far humiliating me in front of everyone. Today had been a bad day, a really bad day. Standing in front of the large swimming pool overlooking the night sky, I breathed in deeply, feeling my chest tighten from the pain. I couldn’t remember a time I had cried so much in my life. I had never been more embarrassed than right now.The water looked so soothing that I began to remove my clothes.No one had come near me since i lost my shit at dinner. Part of me wondered if i should risk being alone. Maybe death by becoming feral wasn’t such a bad thing.Once i was completely naked, i stepped into the water and sighed, loving the calm that came over me.Dipping down into the pool, i closed my eyes before coming up to the surface wi
