Strong hands grabbed my waist and pulled my nude body to his, I moaned into his mouth and he groaned in need, his hands moved lower and cupped my backside then stilled. I stared in confusion as Brock pulled away.
“Oh God” Brock wailed and I softly held his face. “What?” I said softly and his green eyes bore down on me, hard. “You shouldn’t have done that” he said, annoyance evident in his voice. “But I……..” “Shhhh” Brock cut me off, “I can’t do this with you” “Why?” I asked and he scowled at me. “You are Logan’s mate for Lycan’s sake, he will even kill me if he finds out I did this” he yelled and stormed off. I sighed, something was definitely wrong with me, I shouldn’t have done that. I grabbed my clothes now shredded to pieces from my shift and put on the ones I can. I jogged after Brock who had started yo hike back to our makeshift camp. After five minutes, we finally got to the wooden hut that seemed like home to me now. I stole a glance at Logan and sighed, he looked furious. “I am sorry” I said and Logan's green eyes met mine. He opened his palms and a small spark of lightning danced across his fingers. I watched in fascination as he hurled the little bolt of lightning at a log and immediately it caught fire and illuminated the night. “It’s not your fault” he finally said and lay on the ground, “Go inside and rest, I’ll keep watch outside” he said and I nodded, then stopped. “Aren’t you coming in?” I asked and he shook his head and waved me off. I shrugged but I felt hurt knowing he was avoiding me. I crashed into the soft bed made of peacock feathers and sighed in contention as my back hit the soft bed. What would Logan be doing now? Would he be looking for me? What would he have done if he found out that I kissed his best friend? The strange thing was that I tried to feel remorse for kissing Brock but it just felt right with him, I tried to keep my eyes open but sank into oblivion. “I love you Amy, would you be my mate?” Logan asked and I grinned, be an alpha mate, was he kidding, absolutely! I agreed and he kissed me, then Brock walked in and Logan pulled away smiling, but suddenly I couldn’t even catch my breath, the man in front of me looked divine, his green eyes were so piercing it seemed hard to stare at him for long, “Hey Brock, meet Amelia, we will get mated in a month’s time” he said and Brock nodded and stormed away surprising me, he kissed me again, but I didn’t even feel it all I could think off was the name; Brock._______________________________________ I woke up the next morning to a deep baritone singing and strumming something that sounds like a banjo, yawning and stretching. I opened the hut door to find Brock sitting cross legged and plucking the strings on a roughly made banjo. I just stood there awestruck at the passion with which he sang. “You can stop watching me” he said and I jumped, how did he know I was_____ Oh! Stupid werewolf senses. Brock set down the banjo and stood, dwarfing me with his height. “Go fetch your swords, we train today” he snapped and I stared at him in surprise. “This early?” I asked and he gave me a kind of predatory stare and I raised my hands in defeat. “Alright grumpy, I’ll go get them” I said and went back to fetch my swords, we ventured into the forest. Brock sauntered ahead not even bothering to check back on me. Was he still angry about last night? But damn it! It was hard to concentrate when you were on top of a hot nude guy. Brock suddenly stopped and I jogged up beside him. “What is it?” I asked and he turned to me briefly then pulled out his sword, I did the same. “Vincent boys” he said curtly and I raised my hands in frustration. “Who the hell is Vincent?” I asked and Brock tensed, he pushed me behind me and thrust out his sword in front of him, then so fast that my eye couldn’t track it he whipped his sword in an upward arc, I almost screamed as a head flew off a body. Brock face was stoic as if he didn’t just cut someone’s head from the body, he turned in time to block another sword thrust and countered with a stab. “Run!” He yelled, I took off but turned to see, rogue Quintus werewolves swarmed into view surrounding Brock, one stabbed in the abdomen and he roared “Brock!” I yelled in concern and he pushed back his attackers, he turned to me and I could see lightning dancing around his now yellow eyes. “Go!” He roared, his voice thick with his wolf, I turned and ran while behind me I heard an explosion and knew Brock has blasted them with lightning. I ran still I reached our makeshift hut and rushed in, Brock had built a fence around it that crackled with lightning, then kept invaders at bay, I reached to close the fence gate when a hand stopped me and pushed me back, I fell on my butt to see a Quintus rogue sneer at me. “You look fresh huh, maybe I’ll rape you then throw your body to the lions after I kill you” he growled and grabbed my arms and pinned me to the ground, panic flared up inside me and I almost screamed when Brock’s training kicked in. I slammed my knee into his groin and he cried out in pain, I used the same momentum to quickly get to my feet and pulled my sword. “Touch me again, and you’ll breath your last breath” I growled and he got to his feet and grinned and pulled out his sword, a big wicked serrated thing. “I’ll just kill you then, but before I kill I want you to know that your bodyguard beta is never gonna survive. I stared at him in fear, was he saying the truth, is Brock going to die. Hot fury rose up in me and I charged with one thing in my mind. Brock is not going to DieI woke up with a start, my head throbbing and my vision blurry. The pain in my skull was sharp, but the overwhelming sense of dread was sharper. I struggled to sit up, my hands and feet bound tightly, and tried to make sense of my surroundings. Dim light filtered through cracked windows, casting shadows on the walls of what looked like an old, abandoned warehouse.Just then, I heard a familiar voice in my head. Brock.“Amelia, where are you?”Relief and panic mingled in my chest. I focused on our bond, trying to project my thoughts clearly. “I don’t know the exact location. It’s a warehouse. It’s old and looks abandoned.”There was a brief pause before Brock’s voice came through again, calm but laced with urgency. “There are hundreds of warehouses around here, Amelia. But I can track your scent. Hold on. Logan and I are coming to get you.”The telepathic link went quiet, and I was left with my racing thoughts and the oppressive silence of the warehouse. The faint sounds of the city ou
As the minutes ticked by, the pain in my head began to subside, replaced by a growing sense of stubbornness . I wasn’t going to let Vincent intimidate me. Reagan’s life depended on me staying strong and thinking clearly. I could hear the faint hum of the city outside, a reminder that we weren’t completely isolated, even though it felt that way.Vincent reappeared, striding into the room with an air of confidence that made my skin crawl. He looked down at me with a cold smile. “Ready to talk, Amelia?”I met his gaze with as much defiance as I could muster. “I told you, I’m not giving you any information.”He chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re brave, I’ll give you that. But let’s not play games. Who did you come with?”I swallowed hard, hoping he couldn’t see through my lie. “I came alone, just like you told me to.”Vincent’s smile widened, but there was no warmth in it. “Is that so? Alone, all the way from your little village?”I nodded, trying to keep my expression neutral. “Yes.”He
We decided to leave for New York that night. The urgency of Reagan’s situation weighed heavily on me, and the fear of what could happen if we didn’t act fast was like a constant, gnawing presence in the back of my mind. Logan, Brock, and I piled into a black SUV, the kind that would blend in anywhere without drawing too much attention.Logan glanced at me from the driver’s seat. “You sure you’re up for this, Amelia? Going in alone is dangerous.”I nodded, trying to muster as much confidence as I could. “I don’t have a choice. If they see you two, they might kill Reagan on the spot.”Brock, sitting next to me, reached over and squeezed my hand. “We’ll be close by, ready to jump in if anything goes wrong. Just get Reagan out safely. That’s the priority.”“I know,” I said, giving him a small, grateful smile. “Thanks, both of you.”The drive to New York was tense and quiet. We went over the plan a few more times, making sure we were ready for anything. Logan and Brock would stay nearby, h
The sky was darkening, and the air was thick with tension. We could sense them before we saw them, the rogues moving in like a dark wave, ready to crash against our defenses. Brock stood beside me, his grip on my hand a reassuring constant. “They’re coming,” Logan’s voice was low but steady as he addressed the pack. “Everyone, to your positions.” We scattered, each of us moving to where we’d been assigned. Brock and I took up a position near the main gate, where we knew the fighting would be fiercest. My heart pounded in my chest, but I felt a strange calm wash over me. This was it. We were ready. The first rogue hit the gate with a deafening crash. The force of it reverberated through the ground, but our defenses held—at least for the moment. More followed, their growls and snarls filling the air. “Hold the line!” Brock shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. We fought with everything we had. The night was a blur of fur, claws, and blood. Despite our preparations, the rogu
The news hit us like a ton of bricks. Vincent's attack was imminent. The war room was a hive of activity. Maps were spread out, strategies were being debated, and faces were etched with worry."We have to be ready for anything," Logan said, his voice low and determined. "They could come from anywhere."Brock nodded, his eyes scanning the map. "We need to strengthen our defenses everywhere, not just the south."I felt a lump in my throat. This was it. The moment we'd been dreading. "We can't let them win," I said, my voice barely a whisper.Logan looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. "We won't, Amelia. We won't."Days turned into nights as we prepared for the inevitable. We trained, we planned, and we waited. The tension was palpable. Even the usually cheerful faces in the village looked grim.Brock insisted on ramping up my training. He argued that I needed to be able to defend myself, not just rely on others. I groaned and complained, but deep down, I knew he was right.Our t
My head was pounding. Everything felt like a nightmare. Vincent, that crazy guy, wanted me. Bad. Brock and Logan were trying to figure out what to do, their faces all serious. It was like we were in a movie, except without the popcorn. Logan was the first to speak. "We need a plan," he said, his voice low and serious. "Vincent won't stop until he gets what he wants." Brock, my knight in shining armor, jumped in. "Amelia needs to be safe. I'm her bodyguard, 24/7." My heart melted a little. He looked at me with those intense eyes of his, and I felt safe for a second.Logan nodded. “Agreed. We double the patrols. No one gets in or out without being checked. I’ll station more werewolf soldiers at the borders. We need eyes everywhere.”Brock’s gaze never left mine. “I’ll be her personal guard. Wherever she goes, I go.”I couldn’t help the swell of affection I felt for him. “Thank you, Brock. I feel safer already.”Logan’s expression softened slightly. “It’s settled then. Brock, you’ll be
