Maverick's POV

Her head rests on my chest, soft, warm breaths fan my chin and neck. Her warmth surrounds me, those magical little tingles dance along my body everywhere we touch. The light weight of her body feels good, the bond courses between us with a new life, full and complete; raw, intense, and powerful.

Even in her sleep, I can feel her mind now. It caresses my own with thoughts of her undying love for me.

It's alarming.

Shocking.

It's overwhelming, and my heart stutters.

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 102

    Maverick's POV I've never seen this many people visit the pack. Everyone seems to be here, and all the attention is on me. I don't like it. I don't like the attention. I'm used to being alone. I'm used to everyone being afraid of me. I'm not used to so many people knowing about Shade, and I'm definitely not used to so many people excited to meet him, or excited that I'm here. I feel their eyes on me constantly; I can't get away from their stares. The ones with enough guts approach me, and the ones with almost enough guts linger close by, and gawk. It's annoying. I don't like it. “Maverick, my man!” A hand slapped down on my shoulder, and I stiffened. I looked down at the hand, raised a brow, then slowly turned my head and looked at Maddox. The Alpha simply flashed me a smile. Why are the Andersons so… Happy... All the time?! “That's an impressive hound! What kind of abilities do you have?” His eyes held curiosity, his grin held nothing but mischief. “Hm?” He wiggle

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 101

    Maverick's POV The stage groans under the weight of Shade’s true form. He stands at his full height, eye to eye with Grayson. The king's lips twitch, tugging up into a smirk before stepping forward and approaching Shade. “I'm sorry for electrocuting you,” Grayson said, and Shade huffed a breath out through his nose, blowing Grayson's hair back. My hound is still a little resentful for being electrocuted, and I'm not particularly proud that I mumbled “mama” just before I passed out. “Go. Let them see they're safe with you.” Grayson nudges his chin toward the crowd before turning to face them.“See for yourself. Shade will not hurt you.” Grayson said just before Shade stepped off the front of the stage. The crowd moved back further, but Shade didn't move once he stepped off the stage. He waited for Grayson to calm the people further. The fear in their eyes said they'd run if he attempted to walk any closer.“Don't be afraid. I give you my word, you're safe with him. Shade is going t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 100

    Coal’s POV I've never seen Maverick scared before, and I don't like it. I wish he trusted our people, but I suppose it's hard to trust after what he's been through. And Reid isn't helping. He trusts me and my judgment, but he doesn't truly trust Maverick, at least not his future and what he's capable of doing if he ever should answer the gate. But he doesn't see what I see. He doesn't feel what I feel. I don't know how to explain it. I just know deep in my bones that he'd never hurt me, or anyone in this pack. I don't know if it's intuition or the Goddess whispering to me, guiding me, and telling me, I don't know. I just know Maverick would never hurt us… The word spread fast about tonight's announcement, and the pack is bustling with excitement that we may have a new shifter. Speculations are running rampant, lions, tigers, mountain lions, and the list goes on. They've guessed everything except what Maverick really is. At least I got Noah to contain himself until after the ann

    Maverick's POV Her head rests on my chest, soft, warm breaths fan my chin and neck. Her warmth surrounds me, those magical little tingles dance along my body everywhere we touch. The light weight of her body feels good, the bond courses between us with a new life, full and complete; raw, intense, and powerful. Even in her sleep, I can feel her mind now. It caresses my own with thoughts of her undying love for me. It's alarming. Shocking. It's overwhelming, and my heart stutters. It's hard to believe someone could love me so deeply, so wholly, so unconditionally and without end. It's hard to believe that my flaws never caused her feelings for me to waver, not even in the slightest. Sure, I scared her when I tried to chase her away by showing parts of me, the scary parts, the parts I thought would surely chase her away, but it only made her more determined not to let me go. A small smile tugs at my lips, and I look down at her beautiful sleeping face. So stubborn!

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 98 A whimper

    Maverick's POV It was hard not to rut against her knee. How embarrassing would that be? Her eyes watched me like a hawk as her hand moved lower. I couldn't move or speak, I was afraid that if I did, I'd lose control and do something I'd regret. I don't know what I would do if I hurt her. I'd never forgive myself. I couldn't stop the small jerks of my body from the jolts of pleasure her knee brought me each time it rubbed against my length the right way. She never missed a beat. Her leg continued to move, grinding against me at a sweet, torturous pace. My eyes snapped to her lips when she finally released her lower lip from the restraints of her teeth. I immediately noticed the teeth marks and wanted to lick it to make it better. My mouth opens with intentions to lick her lip, but her knee presses harder against my cock, and a sound I've never heard from myself escapes me. Her heart nearly stops, and for a moment, she's not sure she really heard it, but she knows she did. It was t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 97 A devil in disguise

    Maverick's POVThe shower was soothing, but she was more soothing, and I couldn't wait to get back to her. I didn't spend a moment longer in there than I had to. I cleaned my body, dried myself, and pulled my boxers on as fast as I could. When I opened the door and looked into the bedroom, I was stunned by her beauty. I know she's an angel, but she looked ethereal sitting on the bed in a pale pink gown that reached mid thigh, a book in her hand, as the evening's sun shone in through the window on her.Her red hair looked as if it were on fire where the sun shone on it. Her pale, porcelain skin was flawless, and her natural, red lips looked as if she were wearing lipstick on them, even though she wasn't.Her beautiful, natural, flowery scent greeted me as soon as I stepped into the room, and it brought peace over me in an instant.Her eyes lifted from the book, and she smiled as she closed it and placed it on the nightstand. She pulled the sheets back beside her and tapped the empty sp

    Kyle's POV My parents were gone by the time we came out of my room. It was kind of nice to have the entire apartment alone. It made me realize that it's time to move out.

    Kyle's POV My cheeks felt hot as I turned to look at Kevin, but I melted when I saw the smile on his face. His hand again touched my face, but this time, instead of watching his fingers, he watched me, as if looking for my reaction to his touch. His touch felt amazing, and I closed my eyes and lean
