KAIDEN Faith was gone when I woke in the morning, and I got dressed quickly, taking the amulet from the wall safe I had and placing it back around my neck. I wasn’t even sure she realized I hadn't been wearing it, but having it back around my neck felt odd. If she had noticed it was off, she hadn't said anything. Still, it felt like I was betraying her by putting it back on when I was only doing my job. If I left it lying around, anyone could take it and her away from me, and I refused to let that happen. Surely, she wouldn’t hold it over me that I was looking out for what was best for my pack and her. A knock sounded at the door, and I called for them to enter as the guard informed me it was Juliana. I pulled on my shirt quickly before turning to face her. Juliana shoved the door open, looking annoyed as she held out a plate for me. “I’m not your maid or your servant, so don’t get used to this kind of treatment. Now, eat.” I looked down at the breakfast burrito and smiled at
FAITHIt was odd to have the guards usher me back to my room. Dinner was brought up to me, but the pack was under lockdown until the situation was contained. They were expecting the worst in retaliation for Cain’s armory being blown up, and it was terrifying. It took a long time for me to feel comfortable enough to climb into bed instead of staring out the balcony doors and even longer for me to fall asleep. I could see movement as the pack swept the area, either searching for the intruder or confirming there had only been one. It was nerve-wracking, and I wished for my wolf back so I could join the pack and get updates on what was happening through the link or help them search. At the very least, it would be nice to be able to shift in case there was an attack so I could defend myself.Before falling asleep, I decided to ask Kaiden the next morning if I could start training, anything to get my body moving and active. Physical health was important for mental health, and I needed
FAITH“Good answer,” I said, stopping before him. Kaiden leaned forward, placing his hands on my hips as he sat up, and I put mine on his shoulders. He leaned back slightly, pulling me forward as if expecting me to straddle him, but was taken by surprise as I dropped to my knees. I wanted to fuck him again, but not yet. First, I wanted to reward him for including me in everything today. Even if I didn’t like our situation or the circumstances that brought and kept me here, there was something more intimate between us after he had made an obvious effort for me.“Faith,” He groaned, lifting his hips as I undid the button and zipper on his pants and pulled them down. While he was kicking them off, I reached up, grabbed my bra, and pulled it down below my chest, pushing my breasts up. They didn’t need to be out, but I knew he would like a view, and I secretly hoped he would play with me a bit while I played with him.“You are so perfect,” Kaiden said, and I laughed. He released a lo
FAITHIt was mesmerizing, watching him work. He ran the room and conducted meetings like a king, and everyone was ready to bow at his feet.I sat through meetings with his Beta, Gamma, Delta, Nova, and Juliana. I even sat through a meeting with his commanders, even though they kept sending me sideways glances, confused as to why I was there. I sat in his office through it all, trying to pretend I wasn’t listening to his every word and taking a sneak peek of all of the screens and papers each time something new was shown or discussed as I flipped through the magazine in my hands.Through it all, Kaiden was strategic, strong, and confident, and it was killing me. I had never been turned on by someone being so controlling and powerful before. That trait had never mattered to me, but the longer I watched, the more turned-on I became. The magazine was useless as a distraction. Still, I flipped through it mindlessly, even though nothing was taking my mind off Kaiden. I was trapped, s
KAIDEN“…A report was filed for the missing bazooka, but by the time we located it…” Jackson said, but my eyes were glued on Faith and Nova. I loved that they were friends, but I also felt like it would come back to haunt me one day. They were going to gang up on me, and I would be powerless to stop them. “They are scheming,” I mumbled, interrupting whatever Jackson had been saying before my eyes widened, and I turned to him in horror. “Wait! Did you just say a bazooka went missing? How the hell did a bazooka go missing?”Jackson smirked, and I glared at him. I had left him in charge for one week. One week and…“Nova issued the boys’ punishment, and it was returned. Cain is currently handling the forest fire, but it seems to be only partially contained at the moment. The explosion from their armory and the fire spreading burned down about a third of their homes, too.” Jackson defended quickly, and I raised my eyebrows. It was bold, stupid, and absolutely brilliant. I had considered
FAITH It was odd having been unconscious the entire week Kaiden had been gone. It was like he never left, and I kept finding myself staring up at his office window as I sat in the courtyard after breakfast. He hadn't joined me for food. Instead, he had gone straight to work, grumpy and frustrated… I think we both were.The pack had sent me several curious and worried glances, but no one spoke to me or asked if I was okay. Then again, like Kaiden said, I was not a part of their part.“This is sad. The two of you are just pining. It's getting pathetic. Why don’t you guys just kiss and make up?” Nova asked, coming to sit next to me. I looked away quickly, even though she had already seen me watching the glass for Kaiden. There was no hiding that I had, in fact, been pining after her brother. I bit my tongue, not wanting to snap at her to mind her own business even though I was tightly wound. Nova didn’t deserve my anger to be taken out on her, but her father was fair game. My gaze l
