Emotions are getting real. Both our leads are not used to this, so they are struggling. We are in for more "fun" in the coming chapters! Thank you for reading and leaving comments and reviews, and also tons of gems! Feel free to throw more our way!  âĄ
LUCY. We stayed hugging each other for a long time. My tears had calmed down and so was the pain inside my heart, but I was scared that if I moved, something would snap inside him and would make him leave again. "Letâs go home." His hand smoothed over my hair before he withdrew his body away from mine. I just nodded my head, biting my bottom lip as I slowly tilted my head to meet his eyes. I knew I shouldnât. I should have learned by now not to look him in the eyes, but I couldnât stop myself. A weak smile tugged on the Alphaâs lips before his hand went to cup my cheek, his thumb trailing slowly on my lips, and I knew this was too early, but his action made my pussy throb in an instant. "Do you need to take anything with you?" "Just my backpack. Itâs my only property." I pulled my body away from him and turned around to grab my bag because I was sure if I stayed longer to enjoy his touch, he would soon smell my arousal and it just was not appropriate at this moment. But then I
BETA COLLIN.Laira and I, together with the Gamma couple, Kingston and Lena, were sitting on the steps of the packhouse, waiting for our Alpha to come home. We had no idea what had happened between them, and Laira was worried that the Alpha might have blown up his anger with Lucy.I had to remind Laira that no matter how pissed off or irritated Alpha Adan was, he would never lay a hand on a female. But my smart mate reminded me that she was not concerned about the physical abuse but more about the words that would come out of Alpha Adanâs mouth.And I think she was right. Through the years, Adan had changed tremendously. Gone was the calm and peace-loving man I grew up with.He grew more distant and more broody over the years. I guessed it came from the fact that he had no one to channel his energy through. I didnât believe a man or his wolf could go feral without a mate, but I think Adan was a living example of that.A part of me was hopeful that the Omega was his mate. I knew many w
ADAN. I was in my office waiting for any sign that Laira and Lena were done introducing themselves to her, but it had been too long already. So in the end, when I couldnât wait anymore, I mindlinked Laira and asked her to bring Lucy to my office. It didnât take long before a knock came, and I let her in. Lucy stepped in and walked towards the center, her eyes roaming around my office, and I was wondering if she liked it or if she thought the room was boring. I suddenly wished I had more color than black and brown. Lucy stopped in the middle of my office, right in front of my big desk, while I sat on my chair, elbow propped on the armrest with my head resting on my knuckles. "Stop staring, Alpha," she said, biting her inner cheek, which made her look innocent, which I knew she was far from. "Why? Last time I checked, I had the right to look at anyone I wanted to look at." "Youâre making me meltâŚ" She said it in an almost inaudible voice, but I heard it. And she caught me off gua
LUCY. "Are you even a fucking shifter?" My heart felt like it would jump out of my chest at Alpha Stoneâs question while he surged forward as if he would attack me. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. His face was deadly, and his eyes were dilating, indicating Beastâs desire to emerge as well. Was he mad too? I seriously had no idea what I had done wrong. Did they find out I have demon blood? Shit! I shouldnât have let him cut my palm. I tried to explain and reason it out, but it felt like the Alpha was not listening at all. His lips were attacking my neck, kissing and nibbling on my soft spot. And despite the danger I felt from my identity being revealed, I couldnât help the moan that escaped my lips the moment his fangs grazed against the skin of my neck. "I want you, LucyâŚ" His voice came out needy and it made me melt in an instant. He had no idea how much I wanted him. I bit my bottom lip, arching my hips up and letting my front rub against his erection. I was
LUCY. I was expecting the Alpha would call for my attention, but he didnât. I walked home toward the packhouse with him trailing behind me. The house was deserted when we came in, and I was grateful for that because I didnât know how to face Laira and Lena. I wanted to ask Alpha Stone where I would be staying for the night, but I didnât want to start any conversation with him at the moment. So I just walked ahead up the stairs. I saw him switch off the main lights and turn on the dimmed lamps all over the ground floor before he followed me up the stairs. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he walked past me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the shower, and I just slumped my body down on the single sofa. More than my body, my mind was tired from everything that happened in the last twenty-four hours. And I was hoping to have a good nightâs sleep, but it still depends on the Alpha. After what felt like an eternity, the bathroom door opened and Alpha Stone stepped out, f
LUCY. Two days turned into four, and then into six. By then, I was already in misery. I have never felt so unproductive and useless as I felt at the moment. Although my body was functioning, my heart and my brain werenât. I miss Alpha Stone. And even if the Beta and Gamma Females told me that Alpha Stone could handle himself well in times of danger, I couldnât help but worry for him and hated myself for ignoring him before he left. If this was how it felt to be away from him for just a few days, what more if he asked me to leave for good? I had no idea how many times I asked Laira if she had gotten any messages from her Beta, but she always had the same answer, nothing yet. And although I could see the longing in her eyes, she was handling herself well. Maybe she was already used to this. I spent my days training to increase my stamina. Lena was giving me a personal workout plan, and I didnât need to hide my own strength this time after Laira told me I was bluffing about being
ADAN STONE.The last six days went draggingly slow, and although I was able to keep myself busy and focused during the day, the nights left me restless and unable to sleep. I missed my stubborn Omega.I wish I hadnât left without saying goodbye. I knew she was awake while I was trying to touch her, and because she was ignoring me, I thought I would teach her a lesson. In the end, I was the one with a lesson learned - I liked her, and it looked like I would be the one giving in to her whims.But I didnât fucking care at the moment. I wanted to see her.So when we finally rounded up the whole area and made sure there were no more illegal settlers and that all the ruined buildings where they were camping were totally demolished, we finally prepared ourselves to travel home. And the men with me mirrored the excitement I felt. But unlike them, I tried to mask my real emotions. That was the reason I remained seated in my car even after I put it to a complete halt. I wanted to look at her,
ADAN STONE. My hand coiled around my erection as I slowly jerked my cock, watching as she seduced me with her dance. Lucy continued dancing, but she was moving forward to where I was seated, and I couldnât wait to get my hands on her, but I waited. She dropped to her knees and placed her hands on my inner thighs, parting them wider as she looked me in the eyes. "Tell me, Alpha. In the six nights that you were gone, were the females you spent time with able to satisfy you as I do?" Bold and brave. A smug smirk crept onto my lips as I leaned my face close to her, cupping her cheek before pushing my thumb into her mouth. She began sucking it hard and loudly, making my cock too fucking hard already. "Tell me, Omega. Do you think after I tasted your sweet pussy, my mouth would want to taste another?" Her arousal swirled around me as a seductive smile curled on her lips. She pulled away from my thumb and, without a warning, dipped her face in between my thighs. Her wet and warm mout
