Masuk“You’re either really dumb, or you have some seriously big balls, although I am not sure I want to find out which one,” Darren told me with a laugh. I knew that the other guards had been talking about me ever since I started acting possessive towards Becka. I wasn’t the only guard to find my mate among the inmates, but all the others cut ties with their mates completely after rejecting them. They knew better than to mess with Alpha Kennedy’s plans, but Darren was right. I was either dumb or brave because I wasn’t just planning to defy the Alpha’s plan, I was planning to dismantle his whole criminal network.“I’m not sure I want to find that out either,” I replied. I picked up the tray that was meant for Becka and slipped a few extra portions of fruit and strips of bacon onto it. Becka needed to put some weight on before I broke her out. Even for a werewolf, she was much too thin, and I was worried about what would happen when I marked her. ‘As I keep telling you, she’s an Alpha. She
It was the last Saturday of the month, which meant my mom had come over for her usual afternoon visit. Usually, it was something I looked forward to, but today was different. Eddison didn’t work on weekends, and I was disappointed that I wouldn’t see him for a couple of days. I tried to hide my sadness behind a smile and a few jokes, but my oldest sister had always been good at seeing through me. She waited for our mom to go to the bathroom before dropping the magazine that she was casually flicking through and dragging me over to the corner of the room. “What the hell do you think you are doing, sleeping with one of the guards? Don’t you know what they say about us behind our backs?” She growled, her eyes turning red, showing that her wolf was close to the surface. “Eddison isn’t like that.” “Oh, really? Just because he doesn’t join in with all the crude jokes doesn’t make him a good man. He still agreed to take the job, knowing exactly what kind of place this is, and he certainl
Present day“Good morning, sweetheart,” Eddison purred as he carried my breakfast tray through the door with a far too cheerful grin on his face.Ever since he recognised me as his mate almost two years ago, everything changed. He is now pretty much the only person I ever see. He hasn’t taken a single day off, and he won’t let anyone else come into my room, even for a second. He acts as though I still belong to him even though he rejected me, and I hate it almost as much as I hate him.I tried to ignore him at first, but there is only so long you can go without human interaction before it starts to affect your sanity. At least that is the lie I told myself when I let my walls begin to crack. I wasn’t weak, I just needed someone to talk to. It didn’t mean I had to be nice to him, though, did it?“Good morning, d
Two years agoThe whole room hummed from the electricity that passed through the walls. I guess it took a lot of electricity to run a prison facility, and even though my room looked like it was part of a normal house, it was still just a fancy prison cell.My mom had tried her best to make the place look homely. She had made sure I was provided with a desk and a comfortable seating area in addition to the utilitarian bed and bathroom my father had arranged for me to have. I appreciated her efforts and tried the best I could to keep my spirits up, but it was hard not to feel bitter about being kept inside a cage for all of my life.It didn’t help that since my wolf awakened a few hours earlier, the humming in the walls seemed so much louder, and the lack of fresh air made my wolf anxious. It was infuriating.Further down the corridor, I could hear one of the doors opening, causing my heart to beat faster in excitement. I knew that it was probably only a couple of the guards coming to g
I had never felt particularly comfortable in a cocktail dress, high heels, and a face full of makeup. But today was special, today was my Luna ceremony. I had tried to tell my mates that it wasn’t necessary as I had already been doing the job for nearly five months, but they wouldn’t listen to me.They said it was because the pack needed something to celebrate after all the problems we had with Alpha Kennedy and the council. However, I had a feeling that they were also looking forward to showing me off in front of the whole pack, especially now that my bump was starting to show.When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was worried. We hadn’t planned to start a family so soon, and we still weren’t sure if our plan to rid ourselves of the council had been completely successful. It had taken a lot of reassurance from both of my mates to convince me that everything would be fine.As it turned out, I hadn’t needed to worry too much about the council. Shortly after we allowed the counc
The next few hours passed by me in a blur. Mason and Dominic brought me some food and blankets and placed me in a comfortable seat in the corner of the room while they dealt with the aftermath of the council’s takeover bid.I felt a little bad for making the two of them do all the work while I was huddled in the corner. They had only had a little bit more rest than I had over the last few days, and they were probably just as exhausted as I was. There wasn’t much I could do about it, though. Every time I tried to do anything, they would escort me back to my corner and instruct me to rest, and I didn’t have the energy to argue with them.“How long does it really take for a werewolf and a witch to bond with each other?” Dominic complained while rubbing the back of his neck. I could see the weariness in his eyes even though he was trying his best to hide it from me.“I have no idea what witch bonding rituals are like, but I am certain that I don’t want to find out,” Mason replied while gr
This was not going according to plan. I was meant to be delaying whatever scheme the council had planned for us for long enough for Raymond’s ex-mate to complete her spell. It had been going so well, but I hadn’t counted on them threatening Dominic’s family, even though I probably should have.The
Mason was good at preventing his emotions from showing on his face, but he hadn’t quite gotten the hang of masking them within the bond he shared with Brianna and me. There had been an undercurrent of anxiety coming from his end of the bond ever since he had contacted his Beta back at his p
The last three days had passed by as a haze of constant sex interspersed with a few hours of rest now and then. It had been amazing, but I was beyond relieved when my heat finally broke at some point last night, and I was able to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. I wouldn’t quite go a
I waited for Raymond and his ex-mate to gather what they needed and leave before letting a low growl leave my throat. I couldn’t understand why everyone around me couldn’t comprehend why I didn’t want the worry of what the council would do next at the back of my mind throughout
