The comforting warmth of his body against mine lulled me to sleep so quickly, much sooner than I had anticipated. The mere fact I was comfortable enough to sleep so easily was a bit unsettling. This was not my home, and yet at times I felt more relaxed than when I was at the compound. His body tensed against mine while he caressed me softly and lovingly, taking great care to heed my warning about sensual touches. A smile pulled at the corner of my lips knowing he was so on edge about the situation. He held me close to him even though he put a pillow in between us, no doubt to be a backup in the event he was unable to control his urges. No, I did not truly believe he only pursued me for physical reasons. I knew the feelings he held for me. Perhaps this test was just an excuse to keep him close. Even though I gave him a bit of ease, I was not ready to open up completely. Still, with him, I felt safe and protected and cared for, all feelings that had been so foreign to me, things I never

I woke up alone to memories of what happened only a few hours earlier. It seems as though the wolf had snuck out of bed leaving me to sleep peacefully, not that I was complaining. I had been tired, and he had a lot of things to attend to. It was his birthday and today he would become alpha, after all. A very fitting day. Naturally, there was to be a great celebration to the ascension/birthday of the new alpha. From what I had heard, it would be a grand event. I had no doubt in that, especially knowing what I knew. We would be having some event crashers in the form of a witch, a vampire, and an alpha wolf. Honestly, it seemed comical at this point. I could only imagine the looks on some of their faces. I know some would not be happy, some may be impassive, and others that cared for Alpha Ezekiel, like Luna Ximena, would probably be accepting of the situation. But I could care less what anyone thought, honestly, not even Alpha Ezekiel himself. I did what needed to be done, in my opinio

My chest heaved heavily as I struggled to catch my breath. I looked at the faces around me feeling the many eyes looking back at me in return. Never would I have ever imagined being in a room like this so conflicted on where my loyalties lie. Ezekiel lie still on the ground with Araya beside him. She looked frustrated and defeated emotions I rarely recognized on her. Luna Ximena was in the corner obviously upset. Acelin and Alpha Adrian leaned against the far wall with their brows furrowed seemingly in deep thought. I stood by Atlas attempting to calm him. He had a thin layer of sweat on his brow and his powerful aura that had once filled the room finally was starting to dissipate. Manix and Wolfe’s wounds had begun to heal. Their eyes darted from person to person but they still seemed to be confused. So much had happened in so little time. I should not be so surprised. This was not the thought-out plan it should have been. Although my feelings had seemed to change and perhaps, I was

Atlas’ POVHolding back my grin around her was becoming one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. She made me smile like no one else could. I knew I pushed her fucking buttons. It had become a favorite pastime of mine. She got worked up so easily and it was pretty entertaining, but somehow things had gotten easier between us, smoother. This was starting out to be the best damn birthday of my 26 years of life. I wasn’t sure what was to come after this, but I could only hope it would be one of many spent with her.Yeah, I took a big chance fucking with her in front of her people. Normally she was a bear you didn’t want to poke. But after the generous kiss we shared last night, I was feeling lucky. Even with everything happening around us, I couldn’t get that kiss off my mind. One that I didn’t have to steal, because she gave so willingly. Although there was so much more I wanted to do, I held back, needing to be patient and not willing to push her over the edge. Slowly but su

“Just the pair I was looking for,” Ezekiel’s face lit up when he saw me and the wolf walk into the room. My eyes darted to Luna Ximena who stood off to the side. Like her son, she wore her emotions on her sleeve, and it was very evident something was upsetting her. Now was not the time to be falling apart. Within a few minutes, the stooges would advance on us, and without knowing exactly what Ezekiel’s reaction would be, on top of not being able to calculate for all mishaps, we were treading in dangerous waters. Araya would be able to mask their presence, but once inside, once in the room, there was no telling how long it would take for her to fix this issue. How long would we have to hold others at bay? We had enough man power, two alphas, two vampires, one spat out straight from hell, a disheveled luna, and a witch, but still things never go quite as planned. Perhaps my negative outlook on life was tainting my perception. As much as I tried to calm the wolf, I was also on edge about

Somehow things had finally began to calm down in the room even though my heart still beat rapidly inside my chest. The space was solemn, quiet, a little too quiet for my liking. The wolf was obviously distressed. He sat on a chair with his elbows on his knees and face in his hands. Oh, how I missed his annoying and lighthearted humor at that moment. It seemed even he was not in any mood for pleasantries. Ezekiel still lied under the watchful eye of Araya even though she had completed her task. His affliction was no more. We all breathed a heavy breath of relief, but his body had sustained abuse, so we not so patiently waited for him to regain his strength and awaken. Acelin and Adrian eyed and glared between me, Manix and Wolfe, apparently still very unimpressed with the way their mate had been flung about so recklessly. I matched their glares unwilling to put up with their pettiness. But the confusion and question on their faces very evident. To put it simply: what exactly was I do

Atlas’ POVWhen an opportunity presented itself, I took it, because I was an avid believer that things happened for a reason. So when my beautiful headache of a mate stayed back to speak with her brother, after I got Dad settled in his room with Mom, I backtracked and caught up with Alpha Adrian and Araya. They were kind of funny, actually. He was a prick alpha, not much unlike me, and she was this small thing, yet she held so much power and it was pretty damn obvious she had her mates wrapped around her fingers. I should know, Onyx had me entrapped the same way. “Hey, wait up.” I called to them from behind eyeing some stragglers who looked their way curiously letting them know it was time to keep it moving without even saying a word. They quickly sped past me in submission. I wasn’t surprised that everyone might be a little on edge knowing a witch, an alpha from another pack, and even another vampire was in our presence. I’m sure some of them could even surmise as to who they were, b

“This one will look great on your ass.” I jerked my head to Araya as she dug into the closet pulling out dresses for tonight’s celebration. Why would she be looking at my ass?“I do not see why that is a concern of yours.” I retorted with narrowing eyes.“I’m just trying to help you out. Make sure you’re looking great for Atlas later.” She winked at me again. That was about the fifth time that day, and it had begun to grate on my nerves. She was fighting for the top spot of those who annoyed me, closely tying with the wolf. I sighed deeply realizing she had a point. It was obvious the attraction he felt for me, but even still, tonight was a night of great celebration. It very well could be my last with him, because I was unsure of what tomorrow would bring. So, yes. I did want to look good for him. I loathed the fact she was right.She laid the black revealing dress on my bed beside some other options she had chosen for me. For someone’s services who had not been requested, she was ver
