Gaia POV.Waking up, feeling the strong sense of arousal. I moan as I feel the tingles all over my body. My nipples harden as my core pulses to it’s own beat. My fingers travel down my shirt. When my eyes snap open.Jolting up, I look down. How did I get back here? Who the fuck changed me?“Kodiak, are you awake, girl?” I ask my wolf, who groans out as she stretches in my mind.“I’m up. What’s up? I was having a delicious, sexy dream. You with four men. Girl, it was so fucking hot.” She pants and I shake my head at her horniness.“How did we get back here? What do you remember?” I ask her as the tingles become stronger. I climb out of bed, my legs are shaking as my breath comes out in pants as I stagger towards the bedroom door.“I don’t know. All I remember is being in the club, then nothing.” I clutch the door frame as a moan leaves my lips. This isn’t heat. This is something else.“What do you mean, then nothing?” I ask her as I breathe, trying my best to shake the need to fuck som
Leo POV.Gaia will learn. She may be a dominant female, but I’m the dominant Alpha male and I won’t stand for her defiance.“Sooo, what do we intend to do with her when our fiery little mate returns?” I turn and look towards Gabriel with a smile as I kiss him on his lips.“Well, I’m thinking she needs to learn who the real Alpha is in this mate bond.” I tell him as he chuckles, shaking his head.“It’s your funeral. I will say some lovely words in my eulogy.” He scoffs as I hit him in his chest and he grunts before erupting into laughter. Just as the door to the living room opens and in she comes.“Gaia!” Calista and Jake both exclaim together as we all stand and walk towards her when she holds her hand up, stopping us in our tracks.“Give me a moment, please.” She says with a sigh as she walks past us and over to the bar in the corner.She holds a bottle up and shakes it in our direction, and I frown. Does she always drink? Well, that will stop.“No takers?” she asks over her shoulder
Gabriel POV.Standing looking over the balcony as the wolves and humans dance on the dancefloor below. My gaze settles over the bar where I spot Gaia. She is hammered with no fucks given.I know this mate bond business is hard on her, but she needs to get over it because we aren’t going anywhere.“What you looking at?” Leo says from behind me, my gaze not leaving her as I watch her stagger towards the centre of the dance floor, swaying her hips as she moves. He growls as he watches her. He moves to follow her when I grab his arm, shaking my head at him.“Leave her, let her blow off some steam, besides Jake is there and so is Calista. She won’t cause any trouble. Not after her spanking.” I tell him with a slight chuckle as he moves back to my side. His bare arms are placed on the railing as he leans forward, watching her.“It’s not her I’m worried about. It’s the unmated males and the humans. The way they are looking at her makes me want to mark her in front of them all.” He growls out
Gaia POV.Kissing Calista is everything and more. We land on my bed in a mass of tangled limbs. Not breaking our kiss, I moan into him as I wrap my legs around his waist. My hands going to his shirt as my claws slip, reducing his shirt to shreds.“Gaia, maybe we should wait?” I growl as I lick and kiss his muscular chest. How I have wanted to do this for so long.“No, we should do this. I want to do this. Wait. Don’t you want to do this?” I stop and look up into his eyes. He smiles at me as I blink. Goddess, I’m so fucking stupid. Unwrapping my legs, I push him back as I move to bring my knees up to my chest.“Gaia. It’s not that I don’t want to…” I scoff as I look away.“No, it just seems that you prefer them. After all, while I was asleep you had your mouth wrapped around Leo’s cock. But hey, it’s fine.” I fight back the tears. What the fuck is wrong with me? He is meant to be my mate and want me as much as I want him. But I feel like a complete fool.Moving off the bed, I walk towa
Calista POV.Fucking perfect timing. How the fuck did they get down here? I climb off the bed and move towards Gaia as I scoop her up and she buries her face in my chest as I walk her back towards the bed.“Calista, I don’t feel too good.” She says as her eyes roll and she goes slack in my arms. I climb onto the bed and place her flush against my chest. Grabbing the quilt, I pull it up and tuck it around us. Ignoring the looks from the three stooges, that gate crashed hell.“What are you all doing here?” as I look down at her on my chest. Her breathing is even as she sleeps.“We came to find you both. Didn’t realise you two would be having sex,” Gabriel says with a chuckle and I groan out.“Well, yes, we were, but she … she freaked out before you all came barging in here.” I snarl out as Gaia whimpers and I rub her back, purring as I do. She relaxes further on my chest.“What do you mean, she freaked out? What, couldn’t she handle you?” Leo asks with a chuckle as I growl.“Oh, she cou
Gaia POV.Hearing every word Calista just said was like a knife straight to my heart. I never knew he was rejected long ago, and I have been acting like this doing everything I could to get them to reject me. He is right; I am selfish.Walking out of the room, I go in search of him. I need to apologise to him and tell him I will try.“Words don’t mean shit, Gaia. Actions are needed. You are costing me my mates and I will take over if I have to. Diablo and Calista are right. You promised you would try to and so far you haven’t. Don’t you care you will die? Because it’s not just you that will die, but me, too. So sort it fucking out.” I stop as I listen to Kodiak’s words. I go to retort when she blocks me out. With a sigh, I look towards Calista’s room, when I turn and head towards the kitchen.“What, no come backs?” I ignore Leo as I walk towards the kitchen and make a start on my coffee.“What’s the point? He is right. I’m selfish and stubborn.” I mumble as fresh tears threaten to spi
Gaia POV.Walking with a purpose towards the prison that is under the palace. Hand’s grip me from behind and lifts me as I scream as I’m placed on a shoulder. Fucking Leo!“Put me down, you asshole. I have work to do.” I hit his muscular back as I pound it. He laughs as he swats my ass and I go still as I sink my teeth into his back. He winces and drops me.“You bloody savage!” I pull myself up and wipe down my clothes as I look at him with a smirk.“You only just figured that out? Look, Leo, as much as I would love to do this now. I can’t I have to go and speak to someone.” I say as I walk past him when he stops me again and I growl. He needs to move. I haven’t got time for this shit.“Let us help you. We are your mates.” I roll my eyes. He is starting to sound like a broken fucking record.“Look Leo, I know you are all my mates. I need to do this. This isn’t a game. People are in danger and I need answers from the only one who will know what is happening. I appreciate the offer, but
Calista POV.I know something is wrong, and there is something more than what Gaia is telling us. Whatever it is, I will get to the bottom of it.“Will she be ok?” Jake asks and I sigh as I turn to look at him.“I don’t know. But whatever she has just found out, she isn’t telling us the full truth about.” I say turning my attention back to the retreating figure of Gaia.“She will tell us when she is ready. We just need to be there for her and show her that she can trust us enough to tell us,” Gabriel says, and I nod as she vanishes. No doubt on her way to see Selene.“We have another problem, though.” I look at Leo when it hits me. Shit!“Selene won’t say anything to her about what happened that night. She wouldn’t risk Gaia’s wrath.” I tell him as we walk towards the door leading up into the palace.“Calista, who is the soul that escaped?” I blink. There is no harm in telling them, right? I’m sure if there was, then Gaia would have said not to tell them.“A dark witch. Her name is Mor
