MORDECAI
"Ahren!" The lead female warrior's voice echoed through the large room. Tabitha was a tall, muscular she-wolf that leaked intimidation. Orion had taken me to training this morning. The sun wasn't even up yet and he was already wide awake annoying her. She already seemed rather unfriendly towards me and his behavior just made it worse.
MORDECAIEat, train, eat, shower, school, and sleep. That was how the last four days of my life had gone. Ashton and Mira hadn't returned. I had a feeling that for some reason Elias was purposely in charge of keeping them away from me.I also hadn't heard from or seen Gideon during that time. His scent was st
GIDEON"Cadenfucking Wright? That's who's party we're going to?" I stared at him incredulously."Is that a problem?" Mordecai tucked the new phone I'd given him into his back pocket. My eyes fo
MORDECAI"God Alison is such an asshole. I swear she only came here with Jarrett to get back at me for kicking her ass during training," Jennifer fumed in front of me.Brody plopped down next to me on the big living room couch. He groaned loudly," just kick her ass twice as hard on Monday. Jarrett's not worth
MORDECAI I awoke with my head pounding, my limbs feeling sluggish and heavy as I tried moving. My eyes listlessly looked from the black bed sheets over to Gideon who was shaking and sweating with his back to me. He had the sheets completely tossed off him and was stripped bare. I had to work hard, but eventually was able to touch his skin with the tips of my fingers.
MORDECAIBy the next day I had been scrubbed until it felt my skin couldn't take it anymore. They'd left me to bathe, only for Max to end up scrubbing me down a second then a third time. Elias ended up coming over to give me some ointment that was supposed to mask my smell, and brought Ashton and Mira with him.Mira had clung to his side like a lovesick puppy, and Ashton didn't stick around for long. The moment he stepped through the door he made a beeline for what I'd learned was Tempeste's bedroom. I found it odd, but chose not to comment. Instead I just chose to be happy my companions were enjoying the time they'd been in the pack.Everybody was friendly towards me. All
MORDECAI "Holy fuck, who did that?" Brody grilled me as I tried walking to class. Even after a day of healing my neck looked awful. Almost every inch of skin was covered in bruising. The back had clear fingerprints marks, and beneath my jaw were two from thumbs. "The old Alpha," I spoke quietly and tried ignoring everybody's stares. Ahren had taken it easy on me today, but Gideon's entire family was watching me like a hawk and I hadn't been able to talk to any of my friends until now. My heart ached everytime I thought about my mate. Today his emotions were a lot calmer and I wanted badly to just go sleep next to him to get some comfort. Gideon's family was doing a good job at making me feel at home, and Gerwulf had been banished from the house the remainder of my s
GIDEON"I've never... done this before," Mordecai spoke timidly and had me halting my actions. I pulled back, hitting the sheets and staring up at him. The bruise around his neck was starting to fade from the small magick I could conjure up to give him. Either training was rough or something bad happened.I needed to ask him with a clearer mind."Ever?" The simple question came out. My mind was shot and packed full of all the hedonistic things I wanted to engage in with the younger man.Mordecai hesitated before nervously smiling," I've never, uh... er-.... sex, yeah. Never h
MORDECAI The next morning I woke up with an ache on my chest, only to discover where Gideon bit me yesterday had bruised. I was disappointed to see he'd already left the bed and hurried to get showered to find where he'd gone. Opening the door, the smell of cooking food caught my attention. Dusk started pacing around and I practically ran my way down to the kitchen in excitement. Gideon was nodding his head, music playing loudly through speakers on the wall in the kitchen. He was in the middle of plating up food when I knocked on the door, and his head snapped to the side with an expression that would make somebody cower. I swallowed down the fear and gave him a half
