LOGIN‘I tried to tell you the night of the ritual. Apparently you forgot that along with what love and consent was. Anyway, the White Wolf stood between me and your blood-thirsty wolves. One snarl from him and they tucked tail and ran.’‘It could have been someone from the Outlands Pack.’I shake my head. ‘He was no rogue or outsider. He screamed alpha to me. He looked at me with respect. He was huge and he could tear your pack apart.’“What did he do?”‘He stared at me as if he knew me.’‘Sugar, you were likely in shock. Your mind was playing tricks on you.’‘NO. It wasn’t. I was calm and ready to filet some wolves. I warned them. That wolf looked me in the eyes. I felt him the same as I feel you.’‘Don’t romanticize this.’‘Believe me or not. I know what I saw and felt.’‘Fine, but don’t follow him, if you see him again.’‘Excuse me, Frank. You sound like a jealous lover right now. You are the one who fucked this up, not me. I only wanted you. No pack, no title, just you.’‘I am not jeal
He growls and pulls me closer. “Frank, get control of yourself for just a minute and then you can go all caveman.” He doesn’t respond. Fuck it. I will let him take control, for now. Frank rips my clothes off as he nips at my neck. It hurts, but not badly. I fall back onto the platform. He rips his underwear off. His cock is standing at attention and fully engorged. This looks like it will be rough. Fine. His lips claim mine. He presses into me, more feral than he ever has. He grips my waist tightly, pulling harshly against him. But I like it. I feel my wolf stirring. My vision blurs as bits of gold light dot my vision. “Frank.”His eyes meet mine, but his are wild and clouded. My skin prickles as his lips find my neck. I surrender. I arch my back offering myself to him. His hands roam my body, claiming every inch. His eyes darken before he take a nipple into his mouth, biting lightly and sucking it. I moan as I fist his hair, pulling him in closer. His teeth graze my neck as my nail
Fine, I will play along. I walk out the front door. I stop and survey the area. Nothing looks out of place. I don’t smell anything weird, at least not yet. I turn and look at the wolves. ‘Fine, let’s get this ritual over with.’They stop for a moment before one of them uses his head to motion to the woods. I walk aimlessly. Periodically, I glance back at the wolves behind me. They growl and grin. More wolves appear. They are all growling and snarling. So much for the alone part. Jack needs put down! I look around for any sign of a path or hint of anyone I may know. I am met with darkness, trees, and wolves. One lunges out of the shadows snapping at my face. “DOWN! OR DIE!” It hesitates for a moment. I need to find a weapon. I sprint in the woods, trying not to fall. Wolves are nipping at my heels. They are hunting me. Well, this isn’t the first time I have been hunted in these woods. I create some distance and look for cover. I need something to mask my scent. I spot a huge patch of
‘You think I am here because of the mark?’ I sigh. ‘If you do, then you don’t know me at all. I didn’t want to leave you that night at Bob’s but my desire for the truth won out. I didn’t think I would be gone long. I planned to tell you everything too.Then fucking Armond! But no, no mark is controlling me at all. I am here because I want to be because I love you.’‘I love you too. It scares me. When you look at me, I see everything that I will lose.’‘I get that, but you went about it the wrong way tonight. You made me feel as if I was the problem, not a solution. You were like your pack tonight. You only want one thing and that’s for me to look pretty as I shut up and bow. You want me to smile and be your pretty Barbie Doll Luna. A fake and empty vessel. That’s not me, Frank. That won’t ever be me!’‘I want YOU. I want the real YOU.’‘Are you sure?’‘Yes, and know that I didn’t ask for this ritual. I know who you are to me. The Elders pushed for it. I thought they would drop it. I wa
He smirks, but there isn’t any amusement in his eyes. I know that this is serious, but I needed to try some levaty. “This isn't a game. I could lose all respect.”“Frank, you don’t understand. Since the blood moon, I have caught glimpses when I have touched people or things. I think some of that magic is still there. Jack is causing the dissension. He was the one who tred to get you to mark Scarlet so the could control the whole pack that way. I think he had something to do with your father’s death and perhaps mine too. I don’t know about that, but I will. I will learn to control this gift as long as I have it. I am not trying to disrespect you or werewolves. I am simply trying to convey what I see and feel.”He pulls me to him by my wrist. “Before I could figure this all out. Now that you are Luna it is different. You have to obey.” I try to break free. “You know that I am stronger.”I raise my chin. “Oh, I know, alpha. I don’t need strength. How about I just rip this dress off and w
He scoffs. “You came all this way not knowing about the ritual that awaits you?”“I came to bid the fallen farewell. After all, a funeral is about honoring the dead. So unless the ritual is something to honor them, it should wait. Shouldn’t it?” This guy is so disrespectful. He has to be the one who claims to have visions. “Then perhaps you aren’t ready and Frank hasn’t explained it,” he says. He doesn’t respect Frank. His tone is clear in that instance. He thinks he runs the pack. I feel sorry for Frank. He needs to overhaul this pack or give it up entirely. I have yet to find anyone who is genuine besides Frank. I just look at the Elder. He says, “You must spend the night in the forest. ALONE.”I internally laugh. Chances are, lately I have spent more time in the forest than him. I also guarantee he didn’t outrun vampires or fight them in the woods either. He continues in an effort to intimidate me. “It will end when Frank finds you. Your wolf can help, of course.” This guy needs a
