LOGINShoving.
Pushing. Snarling. Breaking through this crowd in any way I can to reach that strawberry and cinnamon scent. She’s here. Why the hell is she here? “Move!” I snap, shoving a boy out of my way. Axel’s the impatient one. But right now, I’m not focused on manners. I’m focused on her. When I spot Clarrisa’s familiar inky hair, something in my chest tightens. She turns to me, her cruel smile faltering. “Hunter.” She greets, all annoyed like I’m about to ruin her fun. “Where’s Olivia?” I snap. I’m not in the mood to deal with Ryker’s evil fuck buddy. “The human? Right here.” She says so innocently, it grates on my nerves. She steps aside, and sure enough, Olivia’s tiny frame is folded up against the wall. My heart lurches as fast as my feet. I kneel, pressing my ear to her chest. I wouldn’t put it past Clarissa to murder her for fun. Thankfully, her erratic heartbeat is there. Even passed out, she’s fucking terrified. “What did you do?” I growl, turning to Clarissa. She pouts like I’m being boring and unreasonable, then raises an empty red cup, “I was just trying to get her to lighten up.” My body clenches, “You gave her beer?” “What? She’s an adult, isn’t she? Or should we ask the parents she doesn’t have?” People snicker in the crowd, only making my anger grow. I lift Olivia bridal-style, and she somehow manages to cling to me. Her soft hair brushes my chest. “Party’s over,” I announce. “Everyone out, please” There’s a collective groan, but I keep staring at Olivia. She’s fucking shaking. “I SAID EVERYONE OUT!” They rush for the door like I set the room on fire. Only Clarissa dares to come close to me, tiptoeing toward my ear and whispering, “If you want to know who really started this, talk to your Alpha.” I gawk at her as she blows me a kiss, then sashays after the fleeing party-goers. The fuck does she mean? “H-Hunter?” Olivia whispers, silencing any other thoughts I have. “Olivia,” I press her closer. “Where ammm I?” She slurs. “At my pack house. What are you doing here?” “Rykerrrr invited me.” She mumbles, then hiccups. Of course he did. “You need to lie down.” Olivia giggles, “I am lyinggggg down silly.” My brows furrow. I know humans have a low tolerance for werewolf alcohol, but this seems extreme. I carry her upstairs and shoulder into my bedroom, then gently lay her on my covers. Axel will kill me for letting her stay, but I would kill myself if I left her alone at her dorm and someone took advantage of her. I’ll sneak her out tomorrow morning. Easy. Olivia flops over, lying on her back and accidentally opening her legs so I can see the thin fabric of her panties. The urge to drag my cock over her underwear makes me blush. I face away as my cock shoots up. “Don’t hideeee from me.” She slurs. She can’t just be drunk. I take a deep breath and turn back to her. Olivia stares at me with shiny, blown-out eyes. Fucking hell. “Clarissa drugged you.” Olivia smiles slowly, “I likeeeee being drugged.” “No, you don’t. Lie down, I’ll get you water.” “Ouuuuuuu,” she coos, then chuckles, “Daddy Hunterrrrr wants to take care of me.” “Daddy Hunter?” My lips twitch. She nods lazily, and for some insane reason, she starts trying to stand. “Whoa.” I wrap a hand around her waist just as she flops to her feet and laughs. “Olivia. Lie down.” “Oliviaaaa, lie down.” She mocks me in a low voice, and I can’t help the ragged laugh that bursts out of me. I didn’t think she’d be funny. Her scent spikes, crawling into my brain and making my dick jerk. How am I horny at a time like this? Her eyes darken in a way that has me asking, “Olivia?” Her fingers dig into my back, and her slurred voice goes sultry, “I feel… fuck.” “You feel what?” My heart hammers, and I press her back on the bed to see if it’ll help. It doesn’t; her breathing becomes shallow. She drips her cinnamon and strawberry scent. Whimpering, but not in pain. Is she sick? Poisoned? Where the hell is Ryker, and why didn't he protect her if he invited her? Goddess, I'm going to kill him. My mind fires back to Clarissa, “That drink she gave you. What did it taste like?” Olivia bites her lip, thinking, “Sweet. Burning. It… fuck, Hunter.” Fuck is right. Clarissa didn’t just give her any drug. She gave her a sexual stimulant. “Hunter.” Olivia moans again, looking up at me through thick lashes. I stifle a groan. My name sounds so desperate on her tongue that it takes everything in me not to kiss her. She wraps her legs around my waist, and I'm so caught off guard that when she yanks me, I fall on top of her. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. “Olivia.” It’s supposed to be a warning, but my husky voice betrays me. Her breath hitches, and slowly, she runs a hand down my abs. My cock jerks in response. I need to leave before I cave. “Hunter,” she whispers again, before latching her fingers into the waistband of my jeans, and saying the magic words that send my brain straight to hell. “Fuck me.”Axel 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
The door closes behind them, but the threat rings in my ears.*Trust me, human. I haven’t even begun with you.*All I wanted was to meet Talon, and the person who was meant to introduce me to him just walked out with the wolf that assaulted me.My chest constricts with panic. What if there is
This was a mistake.Someone pushes his girlfriend behind him, growling at me like my disgusting human genes will corrupt her.But his hatred doesn’t even match the one from the large, tattooed Lycan standing in front of me. We lock eyes.“Human.” He snarls, making goosebumps flare over my skin. W
Fuck, she smelt so good. “You’ve outdone yourself, Rye!” Clarissa shouts over the music. We grind in sync with other couples on the dancefloor. I control her hips, bucking against her ass with my hardened dick. But she’s not the one I want to sink my erection into. Olivia. It doesn’t make sen
“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
