(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
(Louise’s POV)I looked over at Alpha Daniel who was staring at the other Alpha, the look of fury on his face. A large man walked into the room and handed something to the Alpha. He looked down at it as pack members began to panic. I watched as the warriors were quick to reseat anyone who looked to be standing up or causing trouble.“I’m still waiting for your response,” the Alpha said to Alpha Daniel, without looking up from the papers.“Who the hell do you think you are?” Beta Eric bellowed and I glanced down the table as he and my father jumped up. My father moved in front of the Luna and myself, as if to protect us. The Alpha finally looked up from the papers and sigh. He looked positively bored of his surroundings.
(Harper’s POV)“You will stay in sight of one of my men or in your room at all times,” I twirled my hair, quickly getting bored with Elias’ conditions for Louise’s release, “You are not permitted access to a computer with internet access, mobile phone or any other method of communication at any time.”“Okay we get it,” I scowled at him “she’s still a prisoner, yada yada,” and Elias scowled back at me, “I have agreed to have lunch with the Luna-”“Former Luna!” Elias interrupted me, and I rolled my eyes.“Former Luna. I want to take Louise with me,” I said and Elias shook his head.“No, not this soon,” he looked at Louise, “I need you to stay here right now,” and she nodded.“Why?” I asked. I didn’t want to leave my friend on her own after she had spent three m
(Harper’s POV) I glared at Colton as he rubbed the now reddened skin on his cheek where I had just slapped him. “You disgust me!” I spat, “And I don’t care what you threaten to do or say, I will never do anything that will remotely benefit you ever!” I was furious. Who the hell did he think he was, to think that he could even suggest that. After what I had just found out. I didn’t care what he wanted. I wasn’t interested. I turned to walk away from him and heard him chuckle. “Never say never Strawberries,” he called after me. “It might have been ten years ago but I remember when you not only didn’t say never, but you begged me to take what I wanted and more. You begged me to claim you!” “Yeah, well, feel free to say never now,” I called back without looking, “because that girl is dead!” “Do you know what your new dear mate does to people who disappoint him?” I felt Colton following me down the hall. “Do
