(Elias’ POV)
“Fuck!”
I leaned against the wall outside the entrance to the cells and closed my eyes. I didn’t know how long I was going to be able to deal with that infuriating woman. I could still hear her shouting obscenities at the guards. All I wanted to know was where her husband was and that she was willing to co-operate and then I would let her go, under watchful eye, of course. This whole pack was a mess. Three months in and I still doubted almost every single one of them. There was maybe a handful who I felt confident to recruit. The rest of the pack, well, they would have to be dealt with in the usual ways.
I heard a beep and looked down at my Rolex and sighed. I had a meeting with the Kirby woman right now. I was all set to deny her request for entry into the territory, especially since the first request included her boyfriend, Aaron Jacen. It took me a while to remember where I knew that name from.
(Harper’s POV) “Nathaniel, I swear to the goddess if you phone me back right now I am going to…” I didn’t know what I was going to do. But I did know one thing, I was getting the hell out of this place right now. I was almost home after running out of the meeting. I had phoned Nathaniel five times and Aaron three times. Why wasn’t anyone picking up their damn phones? I got to the house and ran upstairs to where my suitcase was stored. I pulled it out of the closet and opened it up on the floor. I then went into the bathroom to collect my cosmetics I had used this morning. I was just collecting them when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw it was Aaron. I pressed to accept the call. “Aaron, thank the goddess!” I exclaimed. “Harper!” he called down the phone. “What’s wrong?” “I can’t do this, I can’t, I have to get out of here, please come and get me,” I was close to a panic attack, the first real one in y
(Harper’s POV)“Sorry darling” I said as I brushed past him and walked out into the street, knowing he would be following on my heels “I have no plans to follow through with that shit show of an idea”. His hand circled my wrist, and he yanked me around to face him. I was expecting it and threw my weight into it to pull him off balance. But he was also waiting for my move and laughed as his grip on my wrist tightened and he pulled me into his chest.“Dammit,” I whispered more to myself, and his grin widened.“Don’t worry princess, I got you. Wouldn’t want any damage to come to my new Luna now, would I?”“Not your fucking Luna,” I hissed and pulled away from him, trying to twist out of his grip on my wrist.“You can take that up with the boss, not my place,”“What the hell is going on out here?” I heard
(Harper’s POV)Owens continued to trap me with his eyes for a few moments longer before he broke the contact. He glanced at Katie behind the bar, and she shrank back in fear.“Bar is closed for the night Miss Harsen, go home” Katie glanced at me and then back to Owens before bowing her head. Owens was already back looking at me.“Yes Alpha,” she whispered, and she disappeared into a room behind the bar and came back out with her bag and jacket. She headed round the bar towards the exit and then back to Owens, looking petrified.“Erm… well…” she hesitated while Owens didn’t even acknowledge her, “I was just wondering if I would still get paid for my shift, but if not then that’s ok too. Oh, I’m sorry it doesn’t matter, I shouldn’t have said anything” I grimaced as she was getting more flustered the longer she spoke. Yet Owens still
(Harper’s POV) The pack house came into view as we drove up the driveway. Owens pulled the car up to the entrance and jumped out and was around my side of the car before I had even managed to get my seatbelt undone. He opened the car door and offered me his hand. His face held the blank expression that I was starting to think was more of a mask. The big, tough bad boss, showing no emotion as he ruled his empire. I took his hand, and he helped me out of the car. He kept my hand in his grip as he turned to walk into the house. I half turned at the sound of another car and saw Tommy driving up the driveway. I stopped and waited until he pulled up behind Owens's car. He got out of the car and met my eyes for a second before heading around the back of the car and opening the boot. He came back into sight, holding my suitcase and my bag. I hissed at the sight, traitor! Owens nodded to an omega, and he ran up and took the suitcase from Tommy and
(Harper’s POV)“I can’t!” I said, shaking my head as I backed away from Elias. He stood up from the bed and I held my hand out to stop him from coming closer.“Harper, please,” he pleaded. “I don’t understand,”“You were going to mark me,” I cried. “I mean come on, it’s been less than twelve hours and you think you can lay claim on me just like that” Elias looked shocked and then horrified. He stepped forward, and I shook my head.“Harper, please listen to me,” he held his hands out, as if he was trying to talk me off a cliff edge or something, “I swear, I had no intention to mark you. I wouldn’t, not without your consent,”“Well, don’t expect that, ever!” I spat. I could feel tears burning my eyes. I knew I was overreacting, but I couldn’t seem to get a grasp on mys
(Harper’s POV)I looked around the room as everyone watched me, probably waiting for me to make a move. The former luna smiled at me as I considered backing up out of there.“You know what,” I said. “I suddenly don’t feel so hungry after all” I glanced at Colton, who smiled when our eyes met. “In fact, I feel quite nauseous.” Colton’s face fell again as I scowled at him.“Nonsense!” Marcus said, pushing me further into the room, “You are not a coward, so grow a backbone.” I glared at him, but he just grinned in response and grabbed my hand and pulled me around the room, passing Colton on purpose, until we got to the other end of the table where Elias stood and held out the chair next to him.It wasn’t lost on me that it was the chair that the Luna used to sit in and I glanced at her as I stood there. She was already watching me and smiled
(Harper’s POV)I glared at Elias and that smug look on his face. I took a deep breath and turned around and started walking down the path again. Fuck! How the hell did he know I was going to be there.“Hey!” He called after me, but I didn’t stop. I felt his hand on my arm as he pulled me to a stop and then pulled me against him. He ran his nose along my hair and whispered in my ear.“Wait, don’t go.” I closed my eyes and tried to focus on anything other than the feel of the sparks that danced along my skin. He let go of my arms, running his fingers down them before I stepped forward out of his space.I turned around to look at him and smiled. I was aiming for sweet and innocent, but the look on his face told me he wasn’t buying it.“I was just walking,” I said innocently and batted my eyelashes. He raised an eyebrow while Marcus fake coughed back at the buildin
***********Trigger Warning******** Details of sexual assult included in this episode (Louise’s POV) ***Three Months Ago*** I screamed as the orgasm ripped through me and I transcended into complete bliss, my whole body alive with the fires of passion. I looked down at Tommy as I continued to ride him, not wanting this perfect amazing moment to ever end. Tommy’s hands held my hips in a firm grip as he guided me over and over. I could tell he was lost in his own ecstasy too. Eventually I collapsed on to his chest panting and sweating and happy. Tommy’s arms circled me and he growled contentedly into my ear. “Fuck me baby, that was amazing!” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “Don’t call me baby,” I res
