SHANE KINCAIDShe has done one thing since we got reunited.And that’s put me in my place.Brutally. Devastatingly.Hit after hit. I’m surprised I’m not rotting in some shallow muddy grave.I deserve it but still. I can’t take anymore hits, not with Sage breathing down my back and certainly not with the overwhelming pressure to find this Levi Shaw guy.Part of me wishes to find the bastard, kill him secretly and lie to River that we are still looking so she won’t leave us and go back to her human world.She’s dead wrong if she thinks she’s leaving me again.Cry and insult me, but don’t leave baby.Hate me, but don’t leave.“Do you love her?”The woman standing next to me on the other side of the house asks.I gaze out to the patio, out to my own backyard and watch River run around with our kids laughing and smiling so much than I’ve seen her in days.“Yes.”I mutter.Iridian looks at her daughter through the glass floor-ceiling window and smiles a little.“You hurt her; you know? Whe
RIVER BROWN“You want that one?” The heavy timbre of his voice contrasts to the situation.Shane points at a puppy that looks too sad and wounded to be adopted by Niko.Niko is a menace, if that puppy lands in his hands, he will torture it.Kneeling on the ground, the material stretching over his muscles in a way that makes even the woman who owns this shelter fan her face every five minutes, Shane Kincaid looks delectable.Delectable enough to kill though.It’s not like he was staring at me the whole ride here and I could tell he wanted me to jump in his lap while he drove.Just like old times. Except this would never be like old times.“Mommy?” Niko asks me.Shane’s eyes fall on me and I huff.“Fine but if anything, and I repeat anything happens to it, you will be responsible young man”, I scold.Niko grins.Shane still gazes at me and I fix him with a glare.“Alright then, you can have Bolt. He’s a bit shy but all he needs is a home”, the woman with the name tag ‘Hannah’ says openi
RIVER BROWN“Get your filthy hand off my son’s arm!”The douche in the suit looks at me and Shane’s secretary before his eyes land back on Cal and the puppy barking at the said douche near his feet.“Mommy!” Cal sobs, his blue eyes.“Everything is okay, baby.”Shane’s secretary steps before me talking to the man in the awful grey suit that still has his fingers lodged in my son’s arm.“Alpha Malcolm, if you can please-.”“If I can please what? Teach this pest a lesson? You are its mother?”“Let go of my son”, I growl.Gypsy’s ready to leap out whether or not Cal will see us shift.“Now.”He chuckles.But it’s a sadistic laugh that stretches for a minute before he lets go of Cal.My baby comes running to me and I hug him.This so-called alpha Malcolm doesn’t stop there though.He shoves Shane’s secretary out of the way standing before me with his height eating mine by a few inches.I don’t cower.I’ve faced assholes before. With or without my wolf.“Who do you think you are talking to
NEO KINCAID“Yes. Yes, after you and the Luna visited, they sent a different omega with a contract for us to sign. You changed our lives because they pay for our wine instead of taking it.”“That’s great, Harry but do you have any sort of contact with them?” Britney asks.The geezer who happens to be the chief of this small village thinks for a minute and I can see Con’s patience draw back thinly.This Harry guy talks slower than my grandmother and I don’t even have a grandmother for fuck’s sake.I’m pissed we’ve been here for days going in circles. At first, Harry was attending some chief’s meeting so we had to wait for him. Then, the special welcoming party that was meant to welcome us into their snazzy village.Connor’s pissed because he’s far away from River. He’s lucky because River will be waiting for him with a smile on her face and possibly horny as fuck for him.I’m unlucky because I get to hear them go at it all night pretending, I’m not dying to go on my knees and taste h
RIVER BROWNThe weight of his words pilfers through my skin and even in my disoriented very mad state, I still hit his back.Neo doesn’t ease up. He grabs my ass like he owns it and my thoughts go back to that bar.Ria came with her friend, Jane and together the night was headed to a fun trajectory about my kids and two of Ria’s kids when she asked me about my mates.Then Jane had purposefully butted in about how Neo came to her when he was mad about my departure.From another woman’s eyes she looked harmless but from eyes, I saw her and her bitchiness from a mile away so blame it on the booze or the jealousy but I attacked her.She attacked me too.I don’t understand why he is defending her and not me.Is she better in bed than me? Does she kiss better?I continue hitting him with every step of the stairs we take and my willpower to fight dims like the swirling in my head.My eyes are glued to his butt. The butt that moves against his jeans every time he moves and I remember how fir
SHANE KINCAID“What’s the word on Levi Shaw?”“Can’t track the guy unless we track the pack too. Tracing the pack helps kill two birds with one stone. We find Levi, we find Osiris.”“You believe we’ll find him? And if we find him, are we going to walk in blind because a myth of a guy happens to be River’s father? For all we know he could be insane.”“Maybe”, Connor smirks, his expression hard, “But if there’s something I know. I’m going to dice that Levi motherfucker to pieces for touching Sadie whether Osiris is a myth or not.”Not surprised by the violence lacing his tone.It’s the same violence licking my veins when I imagine Sadie crying out for help.“I heard you slashed Alpha Malcolm?”“He touched Cal, hurt River”, I comment, Connor’s wet palm slaps my bare shoulder with pride.“You did good, I hated that posh prick anyway.”“We lost an investment from Britick because of him.”And I would lose thousands of investments from my company if it meant killing and pummeling the guy to
RIVER BROWNMy ears ring and the incessant pounding of my headache doesn’t stop.Neither does my heartbeat stop accelerating.I can hear it in my mouth.I can feel the pulse behind my eyes draggling my tears but I’m too far to stop.“Little one”, he groans in his sleep.All the courage I had when I got up from bed, untangled myself from Shane and Connor and walked naked to the bathroom piecing everything that happened yesternight, vanishes into thin air.I can’t do this.But I want to.I need to.I gave them my worse and they all but listened.And perhaps, a woman does need her men. Even if said men aren’t perfect.The alcohol is no longer in my system but the worse thing is, it didn’t take the throbbing between my legs.I churn for them.I throb for them.Neo’s fingers clamp down on my naked ass, holding me in place.His eyes flutter open and icy blue eyes meet mine.Breathless, shy, not sure what to say other than the fact that I’m straddling him and rubbing myself against him like
RIVER BROWN“I want to watch my come leak out of this tight cunt.”“A bed would be better but we’ll take what we have.”“Damn, baby. You killing me here with how tight you are wrapping around my length.”“Just like that, princess. Call me by my name …just like that.”“So pretty. Freaking pretty.”Walking downstairs feels like a feat, Shane, Connor and Neo offered to carry me downstairs but carrying me downstairs raises questions from my kids and I can’t answer all their questions right now.Not after their fathers wrecked me to the point of, I’m too sore and out of breath.“You need to eat”, Neo whispers behind me as we make our way down to the foot of the stairs and all the way to the living room.“I’m fine”, I lie.Sadie, Niko and Cal come running to me, hugging my legs.“Mommy! Bob destroyed the fort.”“You found Bob?” I ruffle his hair as Sadie holds onto a teddy bear.The same teddy Shane showed up with when we re-met.“Mmmhmm, he was in the kitchen”, Niko says and I feel pity fo
