LOGINAxel and the other wolf collide, feral against feral.I jump back against the force of them. Axel claws and snarls, sinking his fangs into any place he can. The wolf tries to retaliate, but he’s a bloody mess after just a few animalistic bites.This isn’t some clean fight; it’s messy, savage, and just the kind of thing that happens when you let a man like Axel Parker off his leash. His huge fangs latch onto the other wolf’s ear, and Axel yanks with a growl. His opponent whines as his ear and blood come flying apart.In my shock, I yelp Axel’s name.His stormy eyes flit to me, glimmering with violence. When they meet my wide gaze, they soften dramatically. But I shouldn’t have distracted him. I might have thought the other wolf was too injured to keep fighting, but the moment his eyes meet mine, lowering as if I’m the target, I know I was wrong.With shocking effort, he pounces my way. I conjure hasty flames, but I’m not fast enough to send them flying before I’m knocked to the ground.
It all hits me, brick after brick.The Parkers’ big family mess.I might be destined to ruin the town.And now the people are coming.The bad news is the entire hall is in chaos: people screaming as other wolves try to calm them down, a mass of fearful creatures scurrying around looking for a place to hide. At least two tables get overturned.But the good news? Chaos is the only thing that takes me out of my head. And after being told I might be destined to ruin a town, I think chaos is just the cure.I whip around to Hunter, who’s already looking at me with that protective stare.“Do you trust me?” I yell at him over the noise of the hall.“Well, not when you start a sentence like that!” he cries.“Get the people upstairs. Do everything you can to make sure that, if Nester’s army makes it in, you’ll protect them. Okay?”“Olivia…” Talon starts warningly, but he’s cut short when a chair goes flying and Ryker slams him out of the way as it crashes into the wall.Heart slamming, I scream
No. No, no, no… Dad’s milky eyes watch Alex as she stands in front of him. The silver in them seems brighter, like he’s looking at her through a dream, or through time. “Alex…” he breathes her name, and I think maybe he does think he’s dreaming her up. This daughter who is meant to be dead. “Dad.” The word is bland in her mouth, tasteless. Maybe she’s sick of dads, from evil Nester to the man in front of her who gave up on looking for her. They all failed her. “Al—” Dad stumbles back, nearly knocking into a group of people. He blinks a couple of times, tears and confusion crowding his tired eyes. “He doesn’t understand what’s going on, and he’s too drugged up to make proper sense of it.” Alex steps closer, her hand stretched out like she’s trying to tame a wild animal. “Shhh, it’s okay. Come closer.” Warning bells ring at the very centre of my mind. “Alex, he’s calm now. Maybe we should leave him.” But she doesn’t hear me. I’m sure she doesn’t because all her focus
I wake up feeling more rested than ever. I’m under a pile of my sexy, sweaty mates, drinking in their pheromones and peace. What more could I ask for? But I can’t sleep forever. “Okay,” I sigh, shoving the closest sexy man. Ryker stirs before sinking deeper into my chest. I feel him. I want nothing more than to snuggle into his chest. But this has to end now. “Come on, guys. We have work to do.” Ryker opens his eyes grudgingly. They’re completely shadowed for a moment before he blinks and brings them back to their glinting green. “Work?” he mutters, looking down at me. “Haven’t I done enough work on your body today?” I will kill him. Whatever face I make causes him to sputter a laugh. Then he leans in and kisses me gently before wriggling out of the pile and shoving his pack brothers. “Come on, boys. Our mate said it’s time to fucking wake up.” They all groan their disapproval. Only Talon stands, somehow looking as perfect as ever. He grins at me before Ryker pulls him up.
Talon puts his hands on my shoulders, looking down at me. His white hair falls around his face like an angel’s halo, and I can’t help but find that funny, considering what we’re about to do is anything but angelic. “You okay?” I whisper, even though he’s already pulling his pants down. He nods, “More than.” His cock pops out deliciously. The head is red and swollen, veins popping down the length of his shaft, and I have to hold myself back from just stuffing him in my mouth like a mad woman. He strokes his hand along the length of it, and all the while, I check how he’s feeling through the bond. He’s had sex in front of Hunter, but that’s different. If he feels hesitant to do this with Axel and Ryker watching at all, then I will stop it here. But I don’t feel his hesitation; I only feel his need to have me. I open my mouth, waiting for him. A growl rumbles up his throat, and he taps the head of his cock on my tongue. The salty tang of it makes me press my knees together.
Yes. Oh goddess, yes. Axel’s lips are hot against mine, just the way I like them. I press my naked front into him, not caring about the blood anymore. He groans. His hands roughly trail up my hips, my waist, before resting on my back. When he starts caressing me I feel it jolt all the way to my core. I needed this. To be touched by my mate one more time before I run head-first into danger. Axle pulls away, “You don’t think the people downstairs can hear us?” “We just have to be quiet.” I yank him back to my lips. We walked about two flights of stairs to get up here. Unless Axel plans to make me scream I don’t think anyone will know what we’re doing. So that might be a problem, because he is the king of making me scream. He strips off his shirt, putting his delicious tattoos on display. Like the sick animal I am, I get on my knees, looking up at him through my lashes. Then, I lick his body all the way up. His stomach tightens as I go, and by the time I get back to his
“We’re here,” Dillon says brightly. He pushes open my dorm room door, and if I weren’t so tense, I might have admired my new space. There’s a small bed pushed to the wall, a sturdy-looking desk beside it, and a large window overlooking the whole setup. It’s nothing special, but I'm just grateful
Predators. That’s what I’m surrounded by. No matter how nice this office is. No matter how pristine their suits are. I cannot forget that with just one bite, all four members of the council have the power to end my life. And they will. Or… most of them will. One offers me a sympathetic smil
Nothing makes you limp-dicked quicker than hearing a beautiful girl is going to die. Olivia gives me one last steely look, and then she walks through the principal’s door. “You have to leave Mr West.” Receptionist Marley tells me kindly. I smile at her, but inside I think I’m about to explode.
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
