GUNNAR POV
"She is the Rebirther," the doctor whispers, and my head snaps in his direction"What the hell are you talking about," I growl"Her file....she is a known hybrid. Her Government knew her family history, Alpha. Her mother was the only daughter of the King," the doctor explains like that solves my question."What the hell does REBIRTHER mean," I roar as Vanessa's chest beams even brighter."I forget your father failed to teach his children our history...Well, Alpha, during times of imbalance, a royal is born with the creator's powers. She can make more wolves. I have been watching every Royal child born for the past 30 years.....Alpha, why do you think there are so many desperate wolves, why hybrids are on the rise, why your sister gets sent out to handle the hordes of rogues searching for mates, or why mate competitions have become a regular thing? Our population is low. Mates are harder to find...We needed the Rebirther. (the doctorVANESSA POVI have never woken up naked next to a man. Better yet, I have never woken up cuddled up against a man while being naked. Until now!His scent is agonizingly addictive. His body is emitting the perfect amount of heat. His muscles are sinking into every dip of my body as if we are puzzle pieces. Puzzle pieces that were meant to be connected. I can't seem to force myself to move away from him.Him. The man thatpurchased me. The man who devalues me. The man who sees Rosy as discardable trash...Him. Him, my mate. Every cell in my body is screaming that this man is mine. Mine to touch. Mine to kiss. Mine to hold. Mine to punish. Mine!I have no idea if this is a side effect of the changing process, but my feelings are scaring me. My senses are very overwhelming. I can hear his heartbeat perfectly. I can smell so many things that I shouldn't be able to. Like......female scents.Finally, the haze breaks. Anger and hurt fill whatever bond
VANESSA POVThe moment I step into his restroom and close the door, I freeze. The girl looking back at me isn't the Vanessa I know. This Vanessa is taller. This Vanessa is toned. This Vanessa has vibrant brown hair that looks like thick silk. This Vanessa has tropical rain forest green eyes instead of pine forest green.I pull his shirt off, and a gasp leaves my throat. My body is........well...it's fucking sexy. Myhips, my breasts, my stomach.....I had a nice body before, but now......I freaking look like a maxim model. My boobs are completely filled, and my butt is lifted like I have spent months in the gym.I turn back and forth, admiring my new form. Well, I guess if I get to look like this being a wolf isn't so bad.......I snicker at myself for being so shallow, but it is hard not to be pleased. People spend years working out and dieting to look like this, but I guess we are even. I did go through two hours of the most excruciating pain imaginable.
VANESSA POVI feel like I was just ravished. My lips are tingling, and my body is craving him. The moment his lips had hit mine, something else had taken over. I have never kissed anyone like that before, but nothing about it felt wrong or forced—nothing like the passion-less kisses I have given or received in the past.When Gunnar endshis phone call, we both avoid each other's eyes. As soon as he begins to walk, I follow. I want to say something, anything, to reestablish my plan. Nothing but the feel of his lips is coming to mind, though, so I stay silent.When Gunnar opens the door to outside, I remember something.......it is cold here. Much too cold for a shirt and tank. The snow and brisk breeze are definitely present, but It doesn't really bother me. I smile, and a small chuckle comes out of my mouth."What is funny mate," Gunnar asks, looking at me with curiosity.My mood changes are probably throwing him for a loop."I guess bei
VANESSA POV"Rosy," I say in a shaky voice.I have never felt this alone before, and I know I just lost my only companion."NESS," Rosy exclaims, jumping out of the man's lap that was holding her complete attention.She launches herself into my arms, and I hold her whilestaring at the smiling wolf. He smells nice, like fresh rain, but I hate that she is covered in his smell. I inhale deeply, finding her citrus-like scent that I smelled last night."Ness, can you believe it?!?!?! I have a mate too," Rosy says, breaking our hug.She grabs my hand and turns around with a huge smile."Jax, this is my sister slash best friend that I have told you about. We have lived our entire lives together. And I am pretty sure she is the reason why I was able to survive becoming like you last night," Rosy says while practically bouncing on her feet.Jax dusts himself off while climbing to his feet. His smile seems genuine, but I still clut
R-rated language and matureGUNNAR POVI slam into my den, still in wolf form. I fling her gorgeous body onto our bed before shifting. Her eyes follow me as I pace, naked and infuriated. Every time I turn to saysomething to her, only growls emerge.Finally, when I can't take anymore, I climb onto the bed. I position my massive body over her seductive one."Do Not Go Anywhere Underdressed Again," I growl in a firm Alpha command.She nods quickly. Her green eyes are enormous and filled with fear. My rage immediately calms, and my instincts tell me to comfort her. I lift my hand slowly, making sure to show her my movements, so she doesn't startle. I let my fingers brush her velvety cheek while watching her eyes. Surprisingly the fear fades. It fades only to be replaced by lust and confusion."What did I do wrong," she asks before wetting her lush lips with her tongue."You showed my unmated males what is mine,....only mine," I grow
VANESSA POV"mmmm," I sigh as I devour some sort of protein bar.I have no idea where Gunnar is, but I'm so glad I have the room to myself. I need time to repairmyself. I can not believe I broke down in front of him like that. And I can't believe he comforted me. I wish I had Rosy to confide in, but she is probably with her new mate.A soft knock breaks me from my thoughts."Enter," I say, and the door swings open to reveal a couple of maids and a few men carrying boxes."The Alpha wants his den redecorated. You need to leave or find a corner to stand in," the grumpy older maid says while not meeting my eyes."Fine," I grumble. I hate having zero space to call my own.I wrap myself in the blanket I'm covered in and make a beeline for the bathroom. I had forgotten when I said to enter that I was still naked. Hopefully, I can find some clothes in the bathroom. If not, then it looks like I'm stuck.GUNNAR POVA knock
VANESSA POV One week later"You have to be able to take a punch," Hilda snarls as I struggle to regain my footing."I am aware," I mutter before sinking into the defensive pose she taught me.She lunges, and Iblock. She is like lightning, and her punches are like thunder. Her punches come so unexpectedly that I never block the right portion of my body.She lands another brutal hit to my side, and I stumble. I grit my teeth and remain standing. I watch her feet as she moves to hit me again. I duck and land a rib shot of my own. She flinches but smiles."Good," she says while retreating a few feet.We return to the starting position, and the cycle begins again. After another hour, Hilda calls it a day, and I am very thankful. If I weren't a werewolf, my body would be black and blue.Hilda and Gunnar both have been relentless. They keep telling me that all the females coming to compete are Alphas and that I have a long way to go. S
VANESSA POV R rated.I can practically feel his rage through our linked hands. Something about his jealousy feels nice...I know I shouldn't, but I really like it when he calls me "his." I know it's the mate bond calling my body to his, but I can't deny...Gunnar ishot.Maybe we can have what Rosy has with Jaxon. She seems super happy. I have no family and no other friends to go to. If I win the competition and leave, where would I go? I'm not being mistreated. Gunnar is kind to me. The other wolves aren't friendly, but they aren't unfriendly either. They seem to be waiting to judge me, probably waiting until I prove myself. Hilda is a great mentor. She isn't necessarily pleasant, but she isn't hateful or condescending either. It really seems like she is on my side when it comes to the training.....so maybe, just maybe......This could be my home.Gunnar clears his throat and breaks my inner monolog. He stands to his feet and scans the room: his jaw clenches,
