로그인Aiden's POVI pace up and down the tiny hospital room they’ve shoved Tobias into, counting tiles just to keep from losing my mind.The good news is they can’t find any trace of poison and he’s finally stopped seizing. The bad news is he’s still unconscious, and just because they can’t find anything doesn’t mean he hasn’t been poisoned. This isn’t a pack hospital. They don’t have specialist werewolf equipment or proper toxin panels for our physiology, so there’s every chance they’ve missed something critical.I feel sick with worry. Thor isn’t responding to Ajax, Jace or Milo, no matter how hard our wolves push through the link, and I’m terrified something’s happened to my Alpha’s wolf that we can’t see.The hours crawl. I’m pretty sure I’m wearing a groove into the tiled floor.I called my dad and updated him as soon as the doctor finished examining Tobias. He’s assured me the medical team are on their way, but it’s a five-hour flight, plus transfer time. They’ll take at least six hou
Aiden's POVEverything turns into a blur of motion.People are talking, feet are pounding, doors are opening and slamming, but it all feels like it is happening underwater. My focus is narrowed down to Tobias’ limp, shaking body in Daemon’s arms and the pounding of my own heart in my ears.We spill out onto the drive. Daemon lowers Tobias carefully onto the back seat of one of the SUVs. I yank open the driver’s door and climb in, slamming it shut with more force than necessary. Daemon throws himself into the passenger seat. In the mirror I see Marcus and Jasper dive into the second car behind us, Jasmine climbing into the back with them, still wearing my shirt and her jeans.I barely wait for the gate to finish opening before I am flooring it out of the drive.The satnav on my phone glows in the cup holder, route to the closest hospital already plotted. I follow the flat, calm voice of the directions while my own pulse feels like it is going to punch through my throat. I ignore speed
Aiden's POV 🌶️🌶️Jasmine’s long chestnut hair is spilling from her half-finished updo, dark strands sticking to the damp skin of her neck. The dress she spent an hour choosing is a puddle of silk on the floor. I am the reason for both.I couldn’t help myself. Seeing her like that, nearly ready, had been a special kind of torture. The elegant lines of the dress had hinted at the body beneath, and the focused, determined set of her mouth as she fixed an earring had made me want to ruin that composure completely. Now we are going to be late.Fuck, I can’t get enough of her.My hands dig into the soft flesh of her hips, guiding her rhythm as she rides me. Every downward stroke is a hot, slick slide that makes my vision blur at the edges. Her tits bounce with the motion, a beautiful, hypnotic jiggle that has my full attention. I slide my palm over the curve of one, feeling the weight of it, then I brush my thumb across her nipple. Its hard bud puckering further under my touch.A sharp ga
Zach's POVFuck, this has to be the most boring lecture so far. Conflict resolution. Of course. And the old werewolf teaching it has the most mind-numbing, droning voice I’ve ever heard. Combine that with the stifling heat in the lecture hall and I’m done. I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone pay attention.The guys either side of me are all on their phones. I am too.My beautiful mate has been messaging me all afternoon. Goddess, I miss her. Camp’s been hard since we mated. Normally, being away from your mate even for a day once you’re marked is rough. We’re here for eight weeks. Alpha Lucas claims it’s character building and will strengthen our bond. To me, it feels like torture.Last night I snuck off to a cabin in the woods and had an amazing FaceTime session with her. Just the memory has my cock twitching. Xander shoots me a look from next to me. Shit. He’s definitely caught the scent of my arousal. Given the spikes of pheromones wafting around the room, I’m not the only one
Tobias's POVAfter five hours in the air, we finally touch down in the fae kingdom and are greeted by another convoy of cars. They take us through the city and out toward the palace. The streets are lit up, banners hanging from balconies, music drifting on the air. Clearly there has been a festival today ahead of the ball tonight. Everyone is celebrating their new prince.We crawl through the traffic, inching forward, but eventually we reach the sprawling house Aiden has rented for us. It is big enough for all of us and looks comfortable. A large modern mansion, all white render and glass, with sparse trees and precise planting along the drive, and what looks like either a long, thin swimming pool or a fountain running the length of the back garden.Inside, it is large, minimalist and very white. Aiden hands out room keys in the entrance hall, and I grab my duffel and suit bag, then head upstairs to shower and change. We only have a couple of hours before we are due to leave for the b
Tobias's POVI’m still riding the high from last night. Zahra voluntarily touching me feels like the win of the fucking century.My dreams were vivid again, and when I wake, the sticky residue of my desire for her coats my stomach and sheets. I really need to get a grip. Thor only rumbles smugly in the back of my mind.After a long, cold shower, I head into my kitchen and make myself a protein shake. I need to fit a workout in before we leave for the fae realm this afternoon. Once I’ve finished drinking, I jog down to the gym and take it out on the bag for an hour, fists pounding until my knuckles ache and sweat runs down my back. Then I hit the treadmill for another hour, letting my legs burn, before I move to the indoor pool and knock out a hundred lengths.By the time I am done, my muscles are pleasantly heavy and my head is clearer. I head back up to my suite, shower again and start getting ready to leave. I’ve just finished zipping up my weekend duffel when there’s a knock on my
