CHAPTER 9 “NEW REALITY” Bridgette’s POV: I woke the following morning to a dull throbbing in my head. I reached up and touched my forehead and as I did, felt a slight pinch at the base of my neck. I froze as the memories of last night fluttered into my mind. Had I passed out? Everything was a blur until I took a deep breath and caught that overwhelming scent of bergamot and realized I was laying in the arms of my mate. “This is not good.” I whimpered to myself as I contemplated what to do to wriggle out of this man’s very strong arms. I slowly turned, rolling onto my back, putting me nearly nose to nose with my captor, yes, that was how I felt like referring to him this morning. If it had been up to me, I would have been on the first flight back to Scotland this morning and I would have simply forgotten that I had flown to America in the first place. He ceased to wake but latched onto me a little more tightly causing me to freeze as he readjusted his
CHAPTER 10 “DAUGHTER OF THE KING” Lucca’s POV: I desperately needed some answers. I wanted to get back home to my pack and naturally I wanted to take my mate with me. However, somethings were needed to be answered before I could introduce her to anyone, like why my mate glows when she is angry, and who she is frankly. I had her first name and that was it. I could tell she was foreign, and I knew she had a strong Aura, but hell, even a human could tell those things about her. We only had a few blocks before we reached the I-Hop restaurant and I wanted to learn as much as I could in these few moments, especially about her electric blue glow before we walked in. That type of magic was not anything I wanted overheard, especially in a human town. There were somethings I didn’t want anyone to know about my mate. Bridgette was staring ahead watching the scenery when she finally answered me. “I am a Lycan.” She said softly, still refusing to look at me and wat
CHAPTER 11 “THE JAMES BOYS” BRIDGETTE’S POV: I was so very thankful when Lucca agreed to lend me his car. Although I had simply made up the fact that I had forgotten something, I needed to get back to the hotel, and quickly. I could feel the heat flushing in my cheeks as I maintained a running walk into the parking lot. As I opened the door of the sporty black BMW, I caught another man staring at me bizarrely. I paused and caught the unmistaken scent of menthol cigarettes and out of the corner of my eye, I watched him flick the butt away as he closed the door to his red Porsche. He was tall and blonde, a handsome man with a thick mustache and piercing blue eyes. His nostrils flared as he caught my scent, a disturbing smirk filtered upon his face, and he methodically began walking towards me. I watched in horror as he advanced. I panicked, this had to be another Alpha, and I could tell simply by the way he moved that he was dangerous. I hurriedly opened the car
CHAPTER 12 “AMBUSH” LUCCA’S POV: Luckily my Uber was outside of the restaurant as I walked out of the I-Hop, carrying my array of food. I was fuming after the interaction I had with Evan and his father, nasty pair of males. Both were out of their minds, and I now was sadly wondering if the multiple complaints of these men raping their many pack members was actually true. The thought sickened me, and I felt an honest fear and helplessness. I rode in the car in silence, tapped the tip button on my phone, and after leaving a generous tip to my driver, nodded and exited the car. I was back at the Hampton Inn, and I saw my car parked next to a beautiful blue challenger. As I walked into the lobby, I could vaguely smell my mate, and my worst fears were confirmed, she was coming into her heat, and we would need to keep her under lock and key, because any unmated werewolf male that caught wind of her would come circling around. Some would detour from her becaus
CHAPTER 13 “TWO SOULS” Bridgette’s POV: I watched my mate walk out of the hotel room, leaving me alone to struggle with my own mind and my wolf. Aurora was howling with despair, wanting him to return as quickly as possible, meanwhile, my mind was in torment. What was I going to do? My hormones were raging to the point I as having a hard time focusing on anything but being touched by my mate. It was frustrating and honestly a little frightened. All of this was happening so quickly I felt as though I didn’t have time to process my own thoughts. “I think my body was waiting to do this to me.” I muttered as I backed away from the door and took a seat on the end of the bed. When Lucca had walked into the room, my instincts were high and had he not left, I would probably be mated by now. I fidgeted with my fingers and took a deep breath, my body felt like it was in a furnace. I took another deep breath and frustratedly picked up my phone, it was nearing 5pm here in t
CHAPTER 14 “THE MEETING” Bridgette’s POV: I had never experienced such a blissful night such as this in my life. Lucca and I made love over and over, and true to his werewolf stamina, he never seemed to tire. My heat was no longer raging, it had calmed to a mild warmth, calming, almost comforting, and being in Lucca’s arms only made it feel even more right. Lucca, at some point had put out the Do Not Disturb sign, and thankfully so. After another round of truly mind-blowing sex, I laid back onto my pillow and lazily stared at the ceiling. “It’s nearly 4pm, we have been in this bed nearly 24 hours.” My mate spoke as he glanced at his phone after picking it up from the night table. “I think I should order us something to eat. Any requests?” Lucca asked as he reached over and brushed a tendril of hair away from my cheek. I turned my head and smiled at him warmly, searching his bold beautiful dark eyes. “Not really.” I murmured happily. “I just feel so c
CHAPTER 15 “REALIZATION OF EVIL” LUCCA’S POV: I walked into the den of my packhouse once I had escorted most of the meeting members out. Only Alexander and Hudson had remained, lazily sipping on my favorite scotch, deep in conversation as I approached them. “This is going to be one huge mess if the kidnappings and murders are indeed Evan’s doing. And if one coroner gets his hands on a she-wolf before we do…” Hudson shook his head while he spoke, turning his attention to me upon noticing that I had entered the room. “I honestly never thought that he would go that wacko.” I said slowly rubbing the back of my neck. The other Alphas nodded in agreement. “He could singlehandedly expose us all, expose all supernatural’s to the human world, and I think the council has more fear of that then the kidnappings and killings. Wallace was less than pleased when he heard that woman was found by the river. Thankfully she was a human.” “Yes, but a human rap
CHAPTER 16 “THE DEAL” LUCCA’S POV: I could feel my heart fluttering in my chest as I raced back to the Hotel, Enzo was on a mission to reach our mate before anything could happen to her. This would be the last time I ever left her alone, ever, without being protected. I was furious with myself; how could I be so daft! Enzo raced through the forest as our mate’s life was dependent on it, however I had no idea if Bridgette needed us or not being we had still not established a mind link. I felt myself beginning to panic as the urgency to reach out to our mate began to rise, however I could feel myself begin to calm. I could sense Bridgette struggling to cease my panic. Although it was futile on her part, as my speed didn’t diminish, nor did the urgency to reach her. As I arrived within the city limits, I was careful not to be seen. A large black wolf would certainly panic the local population. I heard a giggle in my head, which forced me to pause as I reached the
