[Rosalynd]
One moment I was standing next to Axel, ready to hear Michael’s news, and the next thing I know I am on the ground with Alexa looming above me, a claw at my throat. Her stale breath smells like old coffee and mint gum and the irises of her eyes are glowing red.
It burns as her nail scrapes across my neck, drawing a thin line of blood. I don’t dare look, not wanting to break our gaze.
“Alexa, stop this!” Axel screams. He tries to pull her off, but Alexa turns and growls, spit flying.
“She’s challenging us,” Willow b
[Evander] The first part of our plan worked better than I expected. Gideon and I couldn’t tell Axel, because he would have most likely resisted what is good for him, but assuming I understand wolves and women as well as I do, Axel and Rosalynd will be well on their way to finalizing their mating bond by now. I left her so hot and bothered she’ll be eager to jump at that poor unsuspecting wolf. I am happy for them. I know that having Axel at her side is essential for her happiness and that to share her with the rest of us, Axel needs to feel secure in their bond. Now that we have that taken care of, we can focus on what is important. Usually, I am more patient than how I am behaving right now. I wouldn’t rush pieces into place, especially with someone so dear to me.
[Axel] Rosie looks a little shocked by Rafe’s question. “I…um…well..” she stutters, struggling to find a response. “You see I…” My father and I start laughing. “I think you will have to wait for that, Rafe,” I clarify. “Rosie and I aren’t quite ready to get married and have pups.” His little face falls. “Oh. I just thought that’s what happens when you meet your Luna.”
[Rosalynd] “Axel, what are you doing?!” I kick and squirm as he picks me up out of his truck, fireman style, leaning me over his back, my bottom raised in the air. “Carrying you inside,” he chortles. “Now stop wiggling or I’ll swat your bottom.” “You wouldn’t dare,” I growl. He smacks me. “Never dare an Alpha,” Willow laughs at me. “You think this is funny?”
[Gideon] Jasper drops his fork, breaking the plate with a loud shattering clank. His eyes stare blindly, milky white, as an otherworldly voice speaks through him. “Evander is hurt. North Campus. Hurry.” Juniper screams as her brother’s head hits the table. Blood trickles from a surface wound on his head from a shard of the plate. Everyone scrambles, rushing forward to assist but Juniper raises her hand to stop them. “Go!” she shouts. “I’ve got him. You need to go find Evander.” “I’ll stay behind,” Marigold declares, standing up and finding her mortar and pestle. “My magic is mostly defensive anyway.” She admits, “I&
[Axel] Kissing her sweetly, I set Rosalynd down on the edge of the bed. The sun is high, not quite evening, so we should have a couple more hours before the rest of the pack arrives. Tonight, when we descend the stairs to join everyone, we will be a newly mated pair. Despite all my big talk downstairs, my hands are shaking. I didn’t know I could feel so intensely until I met her. Rosalynd leans back, breaking our kiss. She unbuttons her jeans and I help her slide out of them. She is completely bare from the waist down, not a scrap of fabric to hide her from me.
[Rosalynd] “Shouldn’t. We. Get. That.” I can barely speak as Axel takes me from behind, the sound of the phone ringing again punctuating his movements as our bodies slap together enthusiastically. “No,” he grunts. “Not a chance." His pace begins to quicken, becoming more demanding. "The boys. Promised. Uh. No. Calls. Tonight.” “Ahh…Axel,” he has me so close to going over the edge again. I want to enjoy it, but I have a feeling that this might be more important. “Ahh…Axel…we.ah.should.answer.it…ah damn! Axel! Ah!!” I release as he pours inside me again, finishing together. We haven’t stopped going at
[Rosalynd]I shake my head. We only just mated. I doubt he could have gotten me pregnant.But we also didn’t take any precautions.“I think I should probably go on birth control.” I say out loud to myself. “If it isn’t already too late.” I did not need to have a baby right now.“You probably should have thought of that before,” Willow muses. “But you were just too horny…”“Damn it, Willow! You aren’t helping.”She starts roll
[Axel]After completing a few sweeps of the grounds and not finding any signs of intruders, I rushed back to the house to get changed for the barbeque.By the time I returned, Rosalynd had already changed into the clothes and shoes that my father left for her, relics from my childhood that instantly bring back memories of my mother wearing these items to official pack functions. Seeing them on my mate makes my heart swell. It's like my mom is here with us too, approving of our union.When Rosie turns, the violet undertones of her gray eyes make them appear almost lavender as the purple lace dress draws attention to them. She has pulled her hair off her neck, using two pearl combs, putting her fresh mark on display, and from each ear dangles a matching teardrop earring. She is wearing a pair of my mother&
