I rested my forehead on the warm window, closing my eyes and letting the sun melt away my troubles. He wasn’t my dad. I kept thinking it over and over in my mind, our conversation replaying on a loop. You’d think that I would find some sort of joy in discovering I wasn’t related to him, but he was still the man that raised me.
The man that was biologically my father was another matter altogether. Very briefly I pictured what life could have been like with a loving father and a mother that didn’t have to hide. I could see us standing in front of a brilliant white house with blue shutters complete with the white picket fence. The perfect family.
But that wasn’t reality.
Reality was that my real father terrified my mother so badly that she ran from him. Even went as far as to erase her and Liam’s past. What puzzled
He molds his lips on mine and suddenly my body ignites, heating up with every passing moment. He grabs my waist, pulling me closer until I’m straddling his lap. Nothing could ever compare to the feeling of when I’m with Zak. Nothing could ever make me feel so complete, so whole.His tongue grazes my lips and I part them, granting him entrance. He explores every inch of my mouth causing a small moan to escape my lips. A growl comes from him and suddenly he flips us over without breaking the kiss, hovering on top of me as I lay on the warm rock. I arch my back, needing to be closer to him, to touch him.His lips move from mine, sucking and biting the soft skin of my neck. I could feel the ache between my legs grow the longer he touched me. His lips moved lower to the top of my breast. His eyes flicked up to mine for a moment as he breathed
As if reading my thoughts he kissed me quickly, releasing me from my staring. “Don’t worry. I’ll be gentle.”I nodded, drawing in a deep breath as I felt him situate himself at my opening. Slowly he eased himself inside me, stretching me to the max. The pain wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, and I wondered if it was because my body healed itself. Whatever it was, I was grateful.He eased himself in and out a few times at an agonizingly slow pace, giving my body time to adjust. I could tell he was restraining himself, by the way his body shook with his calculated movements. The pain subsided quickly, leaving only slight pressure and an immense amount of pleasure. He rocked back into me, a little harder this time and I moaned in response to urge him to keep going. Seeing I had adjusted, he quickened his movements, letting out low moa
As we busted through the woods and into the clearing, I realized we had already made it back. It felt like only minutes had passed since we left. Several people were outside, trying to help with the commotion where they could, but it didn’t seem like anyone was fighting. I saw a few injured people, being helped inside by others and quickly pushed down the pull of my ability.Zak’s mother greeted us outside, holding a pair of clothes. I hopped off of Zak and watched with the same amount of amazement as he shifted back into a human. I wasn’t sure I would ever get used to it.“How bad is it?” He said, taking the clothes from his mother and hastily covering himself.“There’s several injured, but most are just superficial wounds.”
“It’s not possible. Alpha Killian has said multiple times he couldn’t father any children.” James says with a firm shake of the head.“Look at her, she looks just like him. Black hair, strong facial structure. It would explain why she doesn’t smell like a werewolf. She’s a Lycan.” Luke sits on the other side of me, making me more uncomfortable than I already was.“There hasn’t been a female Lycan in, what, seventy-five years?” Gabriel says.“As unlikely as this is, if she tries to confront him-” Damien inputs.“He will kill her.” Zak finishes, wiping a hand across his face. My heart picked up its pace as yet another person wanted me dead just for existing. “He won’t even
The next evening, Zak and I sat in the car outside of a bustling bar out in the middle of the woods. We had driven nearly half the day to get here. I sized up the building, noticing it looked run down and kind of small. Not at all where I pictured a Lycan King might hang out.“This is it?” I ask, scrunching up my nose.“Looks can be deceiving.” Zak chuckles softly before taking a more serious note. “You remember everything I told you?”“Yes sir.” I said, saluting him.“El…” He groans.“I remember Zak. Just trust me, okay?”Zak had gone over werewolf etiquette with me, explaining how to approach an Alpha
My feet move faster as I look at the time on my phone. I cringed thinking about all eyes on me walking in late to class. I quickly open the heavy door leading into the small school. Two more months of this place and I was free. Free from this school, free from this town, and most importantly, free from my Dad.I jogged down the hall as the last bell rang, managing to squeeze into class just before everyone had taken their seats. Relief washes over me now that I can blend into the back of the classroom where I was most comfortable. I hated attention. I just wanted to coast through these last few weeks undetected. At the end of summer, I was leaving no matter what. Of course I’d have to get a car first, but I’ve been working at the Diner for almost a month. I calculated that by the end of July, I would have enough money to have my car and my freedom.
When lunch came around, I thought I’d finally gotten a hold of myself. My plan was to turn down Ryan and avoid him and Zak at all costs until the end of the school year. I’d thought everything through. The only problem was around them, my brain seemed to not cooperate.I went to grab my tray of food from the counter in the cafeteria, but large hands already had a hold of it. “I’ll take that.” Ryan held my tray just out of my reach. Ryan was also tall, but not as tall as Zak. I was only five-foot four, making it easy for him to hold the tray up high and out of my reach. He smiled down at me as he played his game, but I was not the least bit amused. I put my hands on my hips and raised an eyebrow. “You’re sitting with us.” He stated.I laugh. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Ryan sta
ZakIt took everything in me to not follow her after school. I wanted to know where she lived, who she lived with, where she worked. I wanted to know everything about her to be able to better understand her. I parked my Explorer in front of the large building and walked inside the packhouse. My mother greeted me with a kiss on the cheek as she always did.“How was your first day of school?” She beamed, looking so excited to hear all about it. I didn’t understand why they insisted on me going, but they assured me it was for my own benefit and would help me when I took on the role as Alpha. I had hated the idea of school up until I saw her. Now I couldn’t wait to go back.“It was good. Not at all what I expected.” I said honestly, though I couldn’t tell my Mother about El. Not
