LOGINGwen Even in the darkness of the mill, I saw the pain and confusion that flashed across Amelia’s face. “Is it true, Fre?”“Yes!” Freya admitted, saying the word like she was admitting to some crime. But even as she spoke the word yes, her head was shaking in a negative answer.Amelia saw the contradictory motion, but Hades had his eyes fixed on Hunter and Amelia.“You see! Looks like you can’t get rid of me that easily,” Hades gloated.“Did he hurt you, Freya?” Amelia asked as she took a step forward, but in the next moment, Hades moved quickly and pulled Freya in front of him so that his hand was around her throat, and he grabbed a hammer on top of the crate. “Don’t come any closer bitch. I swear one move from anyone, and I will rip her throat out.”Freya made a whimpering sound, and everyone froze, including me. “What do you want, Hades?” Hunter spoke, his words coming out even and calm like a man trying to negotiate with a terrorist. “All I want is what is rightfully mine! That
Gwen “You know this is a setup, right? He only came and uttered that stuff to you because he wanted you to follow him.” I followed Freya as she walked down the hallway. I wasn't sure where she was going until she turned down the corridor that led to the gym house. I had to jog the whole time to keep up with her. Freya didn’t stop until she reached the heavy door to the gym. She turned with her hand on the handle and tipped her head at me, “Yeah, I know.” I huffed, “But you are going anyway?”“Well, you’re right!” She gave me a cocky grin before she opened the door and flipped on the lights. She was so beautiful in her confidence, but it scared the hell out of me too. Hades might be her fated mate, but I had known him for years. I knew all too well what a monster he was and how ruthless he could be. My blood heated with desire even as my heart grew cold with fear. I loved Freya; the idea that she might get hurt was too much. “I’m going with you,” I declared even though I was one h
Hades My little defiant mate thought she had me by the balls, but she had no idea what I was capable of. I shrugged my jacket over my tee and went to her room, but even before I reached the white door, I could hear voices on the other side. Gwen was in my mate’s bedroom. I couldn't help but smile. It didn't get any better than that. I raised a fist and knocked firmly on the door. It only took a moment before Freya yanked it open, her lovely face flushed with annoyance. One look at her and I felt the desire start to coil deep in my center. “What do you want now?” She snappedI looked over her shoulder and into the pink and yellow bedroom and saw Gwen sitting on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. If it hadn’t been for her familiar scent, I would have doubted that she really was the person I had known almost all my life. She had cut her hair, and she was wearing a pair of black leather shorts with a tight-fitting halter top. She was looking extremely sexy and goddamn gorgeo
FreyaI went down the hall, rubbing a towel through my sweaty hair. I had just come out from the gym, and I hadn’t yet reached my room for a proper shower. I paused near the door to my father’s office when I heard Hades’ voice from inside.“This is extremely urgent, Alpha Jones. I have a man on the inside, a member of the council, who told me that Hunter is planning to strike tonight.” I shifted position so that I could see my father sitting behind his imposing desk. His face was fixed in its emotionless mask. “Why would Hunter attack Starlight pack? We have a long history of peaceful and mutually beneficial relations.”Hades stood up from his chair, and I knew by the way his eyes cut to the door that he had sensed me there. “I should think it was obvious; Hunter wants to claim Starlight for himself. And since he has Amelia by his side, he feels he has a right to your pack. He can't risk that; I will rise again victorious.” “If Hunter has marked Amelia, he may have a legitimate righ
Amelia The day of Hunter’s Alpha ceremony will be forever embedded in my brain. It was as though not only his title was restored, but his soul as well. He looked so handsome, confident, and strong, and yet he remained the same humble man that I loved. The ravages of grief had taken their toll on his body, but in the past few months, he had made a truly miraculous recovery. The bony hollows had filled in with taut muscles, and he didn't even break a sweat as he carried me up the stairs, straight to his bedroom, and laid me in the center of his bed. He crawled over me so that his knees were straddling my body. My hands played over his thighs, squeezing his quads before coming up to his slim hips. “Alpha Hunter,” I purred and reached for the hook of his suit trousers.“Luna Mel,” he growled back and placed his hand on either side of the pillow and leaned down to kiss me. I opened my mouth eagerly and started tugging his shirt. I was supposed to unbutton it, but my impatient hands coul
Hunter I was a little stunned as I climbed the podium with Amelia’s warm, soft hand clutched mine. As if she sensed my hesitation, she turned her head and flashed a beautiful smile at me. Although I tried not to compare Amelia to my first mate, I couldn't help but notice the difference. Hera was small and fragile, a lovely but delicate flower that always needed protection. I knew that Hera couldn't help it; being petite and submissive was instilled in her DNA, and I had loved her completely. I never wished for her to be anything other than what she was. But Amelia.. She was so strong, not only in body but in mind and heart. She stood tall beside me, her blonde, wild curly hair spilling around her shoulders. Her head held high, her emerald green eyes danced with love and life. Her expression held a deep promise. No matter the circumstances, she would stand and fight at my side, as my equal always. I squeezed her hand and then turned to look upon the expectant faces of my people. The
