Bite Chapter 161: Talon
The funeral takes a day. I’d always known Ricklan was legendary, but I thought after he was kicked off the council, people would have forgotten just how important he was. But the hall for his wake was so filled that some people had to sit with others in their lap. Many stayed outside to honor the man who raised Olivia all those years. So many people had stories about him, about how incredible he was. At the burial, me and the boys get to stand in front of the church with Olivia in the middle of us. She has always been small, but today, she looks fragile. Breakable. She rests on Hunter’s shoulder as Ricklan is lowered into the ground, and I want nothing more than to be the man holding her. We all sit at the grave, Olivia quietly crying as we try to comfort her. It’s when the sun is finally setting that she mutters, “We can go.” Hunter runs a finger over her shoulder, “You sure?” “Yeah.” She says, sounding tired as she wipes her eyes again, “I’ll come back.” “Will you go to yo
Bite Chapter 160: Olivia
Step after shaky step, I head over to Ricklan’s hospital room.Talon and Hunter are flanked on either side of me, while Axel and Ryker walk ahead, as if they’re clearing a path for me.I’m sandwiched between the four tallest men in the world. I should feel safe, but all I can focus on is my wild beating heart.“You’ve got this,” Talon whispers by my ear, but the only thing I feel like I’ve got is his arm. If not, I’d have hit the floor by now.I can’t do this. I can’t face my father dead.“Livvy.” Hunter’s gentle voice joins the conversation. “This will be good for you, for us. Closure and all.”We get to Ricklan’s room door, and I stare at him. His blue eyes swirl with unspoken emotion, and it hits me that he’s also grieving.Chest tightening, I pull my hand out of his and rub a hand down his chin, feeling the prickle of stubble growing in. “Oh, Hunter.”“Don’t worry about me.” He smiles sadly, pressing his cheek into my hand. “This is about you and Ricklan.”I don’t know what I did
Bite Chapter 159: Olivia
Every time I wake up, I’m on a different boy’s shoulder. Talon. Hunter. Ryker. Axel. Talon. Hunter. Ryker. Axel. Talon. Hunter. Ryker. Axel. Each of them caring for me in their own unique but wholehearted way. If my eyes didn’t sting from weeping, and if I didn’t feel so drained from all that has happened, this would have been paradise. This time, it’s Ryker, mindlessly running a hand over my hair, sitting with me on the bed while the rest of the boys have a quiet conversation in front of us. “Are we alive?” he mumbles into my hair. No. Not really. But I’d never break his heart by telling him that. “As alive as I can be right now.” “That’s more than enough for me.” I muster all my energy to try and joke with him. “You know, for a premium fuckboy, you’re really good at this whole caretaker thing.” Somehow, his touch becomes even more gentle. “Oh, trust me, darling, my fuckboy days are in the past.” I shouldn’t look into his eyes—seeing any emotion in them makes me even more
Bite Chapter 158: Hunter
I come into the room, kissing Olivia’s forehead, and frown—her skin is burning. “Grief fever,” Axel grunts. “The doctor prescribed her some ibuprofen.” I nod, going over to the single metal chair in the room and slumping into it. “And you? What were you prescribed?” “Painkillers, mostly. You?” “Same.” He looks up at me. “You threw that shit away, right?” “Of course. I’m not making my parents pay for painkillers. I can handle some pain.” His lip twitches, hiding his smile. “Same.” We stare at each other for a moment. He looks as he always does, maybe with some bags under his eyes. I, on the other hand, must look like shit. He turns back to Olivia, muttering, “It suits you, you know?” “What does?” “Being Alpha.” I sit up, shock coursing through me. “Axel—” “I’m not giving you shit,” he insists. “I mean it, and I think deep down you know it too.” I gulp, not sure if I want to run from this conversation or use it to distract myself from Ricklan’s death and Oliv
Bite Chapter 157: Hunter
Leaving Talon felt cruel, but I don't think Ryan Darlington would have wanted to see me right now if he knew what his son and I have gotten up to. I barrel down the white halls, the rose in my hand, with a single destination in mind—my dad’s room. But as I'm about to enter, a woman bursts out, looking paler than ever. I do a double take. “Mum?” Diane West’s eyes land on mine, and my heart breaks the second I see her worried brown eyes. “Hunter!” She breathes out the heaviest sigh of relief, wrapping me in her arms. “Baby, I was so worried about you. I got the message about what's been going on.” I'm a whole head taller than her, but I bend down and return the hug as tightly as possible. I rake my hands through her bobbed hair. “I’m sorry we scared you.” She pulls me back, eyes boring into mine. Anyone else would have yelled my head off. In fact, she should yell my head off. But my mother doesn’t have a single angry bone in her body. “Is Ricklan really dead?” she asks
Bite Chapter 156: Talon
Hunter and I freeze.My father stands at the door, looking as intimidating as ever: the top three buttons of his shirt are undone, showing the swirl of his tattoos and a bulk of muscle I fear he may use to pummel Hunter.His bulging eyes flit between us. He didn’t actually see the kiss, but I think our position says enough. Hunter’s hand is still clutching my cheek, and I’m sure my lips look freshly wet, just like the boy sitting across from me.When my dad regains his voice, for the first time in my entire life, it’s quiet. “Hunter. Excuse us.”Hunter nods jerkily, shooting me an apologetic look. He grabs the rose from under my pillow and darts past my father, who shoots daggers at the world’s golden boy.The door closes behind him, plunging us into a tense silence.My father stays facing the door, his chest heaving hard. My throat has never felt drier. My fingers curl in the bedsheets until I pull them out of the bedframe.Lowly, my father asks, “Are you okay?”I take a deep breath.
Bite Chapter 67: Olivia
“I hope you grabbed everything, dear?” Theresa tells me outside her door the next day. I decided it’d be best if Talon spent the day in his house, calming down from everything that happened. Now it’s the next morning, and we’re both stable enough to return to our unstable lives. “I think so.” I sm
Bite Chapter 9: Axel
Cinnamon and strawberry. Every time I blink, I see her. That creature. That… that thing. Staring up at me with those brown eyes, trying to seduce me into forgetting how evil the humans are. I will never forget, not after what they took from me during the war. “Axel!” Ryker cries,
Bite Chapter 30: Olivia
Hunter’s mouth is magic against mine. My whole body goes hot; my lips, my nerves, my core. Everything. He pulls away as quickly as he bent down and I gasp, “Hunter.” I can already see some sort of apology building in his mind, but I shake my head, pulling him closer, “Don’t. Please, kiss me
Bite Chapter 1: Olivia
Fuck my fucking life. I stand in front of Lycroft College, my heart pounding so loud I’m worried all the werewolves inside can hear. “Don’t just stare.” Alpha Rick commands, yanking my box after me. “You didn’t tell me there would be so many wolves,” I say back, and he heaves the heaviest sigh
