Zach quickly led me to a large tree and we hid behind it, even though it didn’t hide much.
“You can lose your shoes babe, you won’t need those,” he said, licking his lips, his eyes focused on my cleavage. I wasn’t fully gifted in the boob department but the girls gave me a hell of a push up bra.
I kicked off my shoes and looked back at him for the next direction. He grinned wide and pulled down his shorts. My eyes instinctively looked away but he grabbed my face.
“I can’t tell you what it means to me that you fixed your hair. I mean the pink was hot but I want you pure,” he said, kissing my forehead.
I felt my body heat up all over at his praise, his touch and I felt … helpless. Suddenly a mist surrounded
~Ridge’s Point of View~It was the day of Zachary’s party and I was nervous. I couldn’t pinpoint it, and I never get nervous. I prided myself on having confidence at all times. I never appeared like I wasn’t in control of myself. But something had me on edge. I had to confide in Pike about it since he noticed I was off, and he thinks it’s a sign from the Goddess I’ll get my mate tonight.I sure hoped it was but after nearly a decade of waiting, I had to imagine nothing was going to be that easy. For him though, it was … he just locked eyes with a girl and that was it. She jumped into his arms, came home with him and that was that.“Is that what you’re wearing,” Mindy said, gaping at me over lunch.
~Zachary’s Point of View~The party was already popping off, and my little minx of a mate was looking hot as hell. Just about two more hours, and I’d be ripping off her dress with my teeth.“Are you sure I look okay,” Tyra asked.I snuck up behind her and put my head on her shoulder. I’d had to be away from her most of the day which was probably just as well. I was so close to jumping her I could hardly stand it.“Baby you look absolutely delicious,” I said, growling and kissing her neck.She giggled and it was the sweetest sound. Just then there was a knock at the door, Ryan … I could tell by the scent. I swung the door open and he was there with a bunch of our w
~Ridge’s Point of View~We’d been running for about half an hour, and I helped her catch a little rabbit. Forrest was elated at how quick she was, how curious and how easily she picked up on hunting. She seemed very athletic and I loved that. I was kind of a fitness freak, well an Alpha should be.We’d rubbed against each other several times and I was desperate to talk to her. I couldn’t mind-link her since she wasn’t marked and she wasn’t in my pack yet.We’d touched so much though that her scent was all over me, and I was simply in heaven. I thought about taking her back to my tent tonight, and that suddenly didn’t seem good enough. Not for a Luna, my Luna. Maybe she had a bed in the packhouse? It wouldn’t be too private but it was better than a t
~Zach’s Point of View~What the hell did I do wrong to deserve this? I was told my whole life basically that Tyra was my mate, and I never even remotely questioned it. I spent my every waking moment, and a lot of my dreams fantasizing about her. I had people follow her, take pictures of her, ensure she was safe. Even though she hadn’t wanted to see me, I took care of her in my own way.Now the Goddess gives me Beth, who has no concept of any of this and who is totally innocent and good. Logic tells me I can’t have them both, but I don’t care. Seeing Tyra with another, with a fucking ALPHA no less, makes me blood absolutely boil.People have always looked at me in shock that I’m not my father, they wait for me to lose my temper, to be the brute that he is and it doesn&rsquo
~Tyra’s Point of View~I was in a large kitchen, and there was a she-wolf making me some hot tea, which I hadn’t even asked for, but now that I smelled it I wanted it.“Here you go sweetie,” she said, putting the mug in front of me.I quickly took it, grateful for something to hold onto. It was somehow comforting.“Thank you,” I said, wondering what was going to happen now.I heard heavy boots hitting the floor, someone was walking quickly, with purpose.“Where is she,” I heard from the hall. Tyson… shit.He came into view and he was dressed just like the
Morning came quickly, although I slept until nearly 11am by the clock on the side table. By the time I got up, Tyson was gone and a blonde she-wolf laid in his bed.“Good morning,” she said, beaming as I sat up.She was breathtaking, pure blonde hair and a perfect curvy body I kind of envied. Her face though, she was familiar…“Do you remember me Tyra? Ellie,” she said, sitting up.I gasped, holy crap it was Ellie! Ridge’s sister… and the girl that my father took as a hostage and made to swear a blood oath to marry Tyson. What the hell was she doing here?!“I take that as a yes,” she giggled.I threw off the covers and
“Baby this is Chance, he’s a Shadow Warrior and he’s going to take you to see Zach,” Ridge said, leading me outside to a yard. Obviously my mate was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen … but this guy … was … exotic? He was tall, clean shaven head. He was dark tanned almost golden, his eyes were almost … purple. He wasn’t extremely tall, maybe six feet, but he was a solid mass of muscle, he looked like he could pick up a car and throw it. He wasn’t a wolf, but he was mouth watering sexy. “What … what are you,” I asked curiously, not being able to help myself. I held Ridge’s hand. He grinned, a huge mouth of perfect white teeth. “I’m a weretiger,” he said, beaming with pride. “Whoa! Can I see sometime,” I asked. I
~Ridge’s Point of View~ “Dude what a fucking mess, I hate it for you,” Pike said, sitting down next to me. I was sitting on a dock at our lake, my feet were dangling over the edge, in the water. “I mean, she clearly wants me, especially finding out it’s all fake with him. I think seeing him again will actually be good for her, it’ll just make it more obvious what she has with me is not even close to whatever she feels for him,” I said, turning to look at Pike. “So is there a challenge or not,” he asked, confused. “I don’t even know. I want one, it’s the only way a guy like him is going to get it through his head,” I said. “Uhh, well when you're done he won’t have a head,” Pike laughed.
