LOGINLincoln's POVI don’t know how long it’s been. My coffee’s gone cold, and I’ve made four trades and answered countless emails when I hear the cracking of bones and look up to see Marcus and Jasper shifting back.They dress, then come back over. Thor is now stretched out in the sun.Jasper and Marcus look dejected as they approach.“Nothing?” I ask.Jasper shakes his head. “Nothing. Wouldn’t even reply.”Marcus huffs and drops back into his chair. His eyes find Thor again, and his face tightens.“How’s Aiden getting on in Blood Moon? How’s Zahra?” I ask, trying to distract them. My tongue feels thick as I say her name, but I think it comes out alright.Jasper sighs, straightening slightly. “He’s getting on alright. They’re giving her space to heal. I don’t know much, really. Just that they’re taking things slow. I think physically she’s alright now.”Something tight I didn’t even know was there loosens in my chest, and relief settles through me. Thor sits up and looks over at us.“Good
Lincoln's POVI can feel Lex in the back of my mind, snoring away. My leg feels much better, but it still aches. I look down, avoiding Thor’s gaze that I can feel burning into me.I’m naked, as I was when we returned to the cabin yesterday. My leg looks clean, but I can see the red, raised indentations from the silver teeth of the trap. I flex my foot up and down. It twinges through my calf muscle, but otherwise it’s not bad.I slide to the edge of the mattress and put my feet down, the wooden floor cold against my bare skin in the early morning.I gently push my weight down and wince. It still hurts, but it’s manageable. As I stabilise, it eases slightly. Thor rumbles behind me, but I ignore him.I push up slowly to standing, taking most of my weight on my good leg. Once I’m upright, I try to even it out. I can manage about half my weight before it starts to hurt, so I don’t push it. Instead, I limp into the bathroom.I turn on the shower and step in. The warm water wakes me up, and
Lincoln's POVThe pace increases. Zahra’s bobbing becomes frantic. Tobias’s tongue moves faster, his kisses more fervent. The sensory overload is total. The room is just dark shapes, hot skin, wet mouths, and those two scents—jasmine and coffee-leather—twining together, becoming one scent that feels like mine.My stomach muscles clench tight. My thighs tremble. A high, desperate whine builds in my throat. I’m right there. On the very edge.Tobias feels it. He lifts his head from my cock, his mouth now at my ear again. “Let it go,” he growls, the command vibrating through me. “Give it to her.”Zahra’s hand on my base squeezes tight, a final, perfect pressure. Her mouth sucks hard, her throat constricting around me.That’s it. The spring snaps.My back arches off the mattress. A raw, guttural shout tears from my lungs. The release isn’t a trickle; it’s a flood, a surge of white-hot pleasure erupting from my core. I feel it pump out of me, into Zahra’s waiting mouth. She takes it all, sw
Lincoln's POVWarm hands caress my chest, my neck, my abs, trailing lower, making my body thrum and my blood heat. I open my eyes with a groan of pleasure—they feel so good against my skin. I blink. The room is dark. There's a figure above me, on the bed. Hair fanning around her, like a goddess. She smiles down at me, her jasmine scent filling the room.“I need you,” Zahra breathes, as she leans forward and runs her tongue around my nipple, laving at it. Then she sucks it into her mouth. Fuck. That feels good. My cock responds, twitching against my stomach. Her mouth runs down my body, kissing every ridge of muscle, over my Adonis belt, down my happy trail, and to the base of my cock. Her tongue swirls around the base, then up my shaft. I suck in a deep breath. Fuck, that feels amazing. My eyes roll back.“Fuck, baby,” I moan, as her lips kiss gently against the tip of my cock. Her hand grasps my base firmly, and I watch as she opens her mouth and swallows me down. Her dark blue eyes
Lincoln's POVThe pain in my leg keeps making me black out, the movement of the RTV as it bumps down the mountain sending blinding agony through it.They’d all agreed to leave the trap in place until the medics could remove it back at the Task Force, in case it bleeds excessively or the bone is broken.To be honest, I’d have rather they just pulled the damn thing off and bandaged me up. I’m sure once the silver is removed from my body, Lex will return and heal me, but I was overruled.I don’t know how much longer we have to travel before we reach the cabin.“Take me back to the cabin first,” I order the Task Force warrior driving the RTV.“Orders were to take you to the hospital, Alpha,” he says, not even looking at me.“I know, but I want to go to the cabin. I need to make sure Thor is back there before I leave.”I see his eyes cloud over as he links someone, and I hope they reach the right conclusion.I close my eyes and grit my teeth against the pain. The wolves have fanned out int
Lincoln's POVI skid to a stop as we approach the fence line. There are fewer trees here, the warriors having cleared them to put up the fencing, so I stop just inside the tree line for a bit of shelter.Thor is standing and staring out of the fence, his hackles raised, his body puffed up, tail high and stiff. He is fucking growling like anything.Dread hits my stomach, and I fear the moment he turns and I see the redness back in his eyes. It’s been gone, fully gone, for days, but now emotion clogs my throat.'I don’t think that’s it.''What? He’s clearly having an episode. What do you mean?'I start thinking about the best way to approach. He’s not been violent towards me before, but maybe if he’s feeling trapped, perhaps I should back away and give him space.Thor snarls, breaking the constant rumbling, and jolts forward, legs and body stiff like he’s trying to intimidate something. I scan the fence again, but there’s nothing there until the wind shifts slightly, carrying a faint st
Zahra's POVZanthe stirs suddenly, sitting upright in my mind. I pause mid-step, my chest tightening with a strange warmth and a low thrumming I’ve never felt before.‘What’s that?’ I ask her, unsure why my pulse has picked up.She just shrugs, her energy restless but uncertain. ‘No idea.’We step
Zahra's POVIt’s been a strange five days. On one hand, it’s wonderful to be home — to see everyone again and be back in the pack. I’ve trained hard with Greg and Austin, and even though they made us run the lake trail and swim again, it wasn’t as cold as it was three years ago. I even beat Henry b
Zahra's POVElodie and Renee are with me in my room, chatting while I pack — mainly, I think, to give Zach and Mara some privacy to say a proper goodbye. Barf.“So you really don’t know anything about this course?” Elodie asks, even though I’ve told them about a hundred times.“Nope.”“Then why wou
Zahra's POVHenry joins us a few minutes later.“Hi, ladies,” he says, his deep voice rumbling slightly as he drops down on the lounger beside me. When he stands to take off his shirt, I can’t help but look.I’ve seen Henry shirtless plenty of times around the pool at the academy. He’s strong, like
