The early morning breeze teased my hair, lifting it into the air and making it dance around my face. I blew the strands away, and they tickled my nose as they flew off out of view. I lifted my head and ran my hands through my hair, holding it in place while I positioned my head back onto the grass. Laying there with my eyes closed I could hear the heavy breathing of the enormous blond wolf beside me. I couldn’t help but run my fingers through his fur. It was luxurious and as soft as silk. He almost purred at my touch and I knew it wouldn’t be long until he shifted and had his way with me. He liked coming on runs with me and especially loved fucking me beside the river. Sex out in the open was our new thing, because we never got much time alone in the pack house.While caressing his fur, I found myself drifting off to sleep, with each rhythmic touch in perfect time with his deep breaths. Before I knew it, I was out like a light. For some reason I could have sworn I was still awake, bec
After feasting on the bucks, the pack’s bellies were full and one by one they all stumbled off and found a cool bit of shade to pass out in. Jesse and I strolled off towards our favorite tree. An enormous oak tree with plenty of coverage from the afternoon sun. We shifted and Jesse sat down, resting his back against the tree’s giant trunk. I shifted and settled down on the grass, making sure to snuggle up with my husband. I’d come a long way since finding out about werewolves, seeing them naked around the town and pack house had me blushing at first and the idea of ever being naked myself around everyone was a no go. Now, I was used to it and didn’t think twice about shifting and letting it all hang out. No one batted an eyelid and to be honest, it felt quite exhilarating.Curled up in the arms of my man was the definition of home for me and while listening to the rhythmic best of his heart, it didn’t take me long to drift off to sleep. As soon as I reached my subconscious, there he w
We'd all sat back down in our chairs to process and talk over everything, but I couldn’t concentrate. The gloop from the pictures had a dreadful lingering aftertaste and I couldn’t shift it. Drink wasn’t washing it away either.“What the hell was on those pictures?” I mumbled while rapidly trying to scrape the taste off my tongue with my fingers.It wasn’t working and the group were laughing at me. All except Jesse, who was trying to remove the taste with his teeth. Arabella picked up her backpack and pulled out a water battle filled with a bright purple liquid. She stood and made her way over to us.“Drink this, it will help,” she ordered while holding out the bottle.I snatched it from her hand. The bad taste was getting worse. It wasn’t like a hot spice or anything, it was more like I’d just licked the inside of a dumpster. I flipped the top of the bottle and guzzled the purple liquid as soon as it hit the pit of my stomach, I jerked forward and threw it back up, just missing Arabe
My rumbling growl deepened as she got closer to the house and Jesse placed his hand on my shoulder, urging me to calm down. It was pointless, I was beyond furious. After I’d managed to prevent my panic attack earlier, I made Jesse mindlink the pack, letting them know that the pack house was off limits until further notice. Under no circumstances was anyone to approach the house. Therefore, she shouldn't have had any reason to be confidently sauntering towards me. But it was typical of Blair. She thought the rules didn’t apply to her because she was the Alpha's ex-girlfriend. Admittedly Jesse had allowed her to get away with more than I’d liked, but I was sure he was only doing it to make me jealous. It worked too. The woman completely grinded my gears.“Calm down, Darlin'. She’s not worth it.” Jesse mink linked me, trying his best to seem concerned, but he forgot that I could feel what he was feeling and I knew he was enjoying my anger way more than he should have been. I could feel h
He looked utterly shocked by my outburst and for good reason too. I don’t think I’d ever spoken to him like that before, but I wasn’t feeling myself. My wolf was taking over and she was fuming. I’d been one with my wolf since being turned and we'd always agreed on everything. It was like she was using my hated for Blair as a way to control me. She was feeding into my every insecurity and her voice in my head was deafening. Her thoughts, fears and anger were becoming mine and I couldn’t think straight. I grabbed the sides of my head and screamed into the air, then squatted down.“Brie? What’s happening?” Jesse called out while sprinting towards me. “Darlin’ are you okay?”My body recoiled at his touch and I scurried backwards until my back hit the wall. I slid down it and sat on the floor, burying my head in my hands. The door opened and Shana instructed the others to remain outside. Closing the door behind her, she pulled Jesse aside and whispered a list of ingredients to him. I heard
Shana and my dad had introduced me to the elders. They decided it would be best if I moved in with them and went through invasive training. I’d been with them for three months now and my training was almost complete. I'd learned how to hone my skills and control my power, but I still hadn’t been taught how to track Chase. The elders wanted to leave that skill till last, because they were worried that I would quit my training once I’d learned how to find him and bring him home. They wanted me to be fully prepared so I could have the best chance at defeating Irene and her brothers. But, today was the day that I learned how to scry and I was nervous, to say the least.I hadn’t seen Jesse or my family since moving in with the elders and they were allowed to come and see me once my lesson finished today. That was the only thing that was keeping me from letting the anxiety take over. Jesse had bought a house close to the elder’s home so he could still mind link me and stay close to me, but
Seeing Jesse's vulnerability bought us so much closer as a couple. I wasn’t embarrassed by it and it didn’t feel weird to me. I understood how he felt. The thought of losing him was petrifying to me too. We also didn’t have a clue how to defeat the Soulderians and we knew we couldn’t run and hide either. I would’ve liked to have said that I hadn’t thought about running and wanted to stand and fight to the death for my family and packs, but running away was all I could think of. I felt so weak and helpless. If I didn’t have a family or pack, I think me and Jesse would have run away as soon as we knew they were coming. I wished the situation could have been different, but we had no choice but to fight for our lives.I buried my head into his neck and took in a deep breath, hoping his scent filling my nose would help calm me down. It worked a little and at least held back my tears. He had calmed enough to pull me in tighter. Laid there in his arms, I was able to think clearer. I decided
I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears, everything seemed to slow down and Shana's screams became deep and dragged out. I knew I had to do something but I had no idea what. Without even thinking about it, I ripped my hands away from my eyes and screeched into the air,“Stop!”Shana's screams ceased and all the cloaked men turned to face me. I glanced down at my hands and they had a glowing gold aura around them. Two of the men whispered to someone in a red cloak.“She's a Sentinel,” one said.“I thought they were a myth,” the other added.The red-cloaked man raised his hand to silence them, then approached me. When he reached me, he grabbed my face and turned my head from side to side, then stared into my eyes like he was looking for something.“Curious. You’re a very rare being, do you know that?”I yank my face out of his grip and slap his hand away from me. In a split second, he holds his hands up and red lighting shoots out of them sliding around my wrists and ankles like a
