Resisting The Mate Bond 57
Reece felt Breeana melt against him as he kissed her. She felt warm, soft and small against him. He felt his protective instincts flare up. He would protect her at all costs.Breeana pulled away and looked at him as though he was a dream made manifest.He dropped one more kiss on her lips and another on her forehead unable to help himself where she was concerned.Breeana grappled for words and he felt her emotions along the bond. Surprise, disbelief, want and then an odd sense of shame came upon her."But how could you love me?" She sounded combative now as though he was joking. "I betrayed your trust. Cheated with someone else, the pack mistrusts me and want you to take a consort because any child I have with you wíll be suspected of dubious parentage."Tears streaked her cheeks. It would seem that she really believed that she had cheated on him.Reece paused, his mind racing."Did you really cheat on me with him? Did you sleep with him?"Breeana turned away from him as though in pai

Breeana didn't know how exactly Reece has guessed it so easily but she knew he knew what Ariana had done.His face transformed with rage so bright and furious that she felt an echo of it in her chest. It was the mate bond. She could now feel his emotions.Did it go both ways? From all she had heard about the mate bond, it most likely did. Was that how he'd discovered the truth about Ari?Reece let her go and opened his wardrobe and pulled out a shirt to put on looking more than a little angry."Reece. Reece, where are you going?"He pulled the shirt on ignoring her and started towards the door. Breeana blocked his path."Answer me for goddess sake, Reece!""Where do you think I am going? She assaulted the Luna of her pack, for this kind of capital offence there only suitable punishments are death or banishment. I have tolerated Ariana for far too long, today, she will get her comeuppance. Let me through, Breeana."Breeana shook her head as she balanced on unsteady feet. After all she

Reece was absent from work again. Alex sat in the seat opposite Reece's empty one as he worked on the reports. It meant his sister was still in heat. None of them went to see her because they knew it was only her mate who could reduce the pain for her but he had seen Ari leaving Reece's office the other day with pink-tinged cheeks and Reece's scent on her skin.Then he'd confronted her."What do you think you are doing, Ariana? Our baby sister is in pain and you are trying to make a move on her mate?"Ariana hadn't always been like this. She had been soft and compassionate once upon a time. It would seem like that time was so far gone that he couldn't trace it.Ariana looked like she was considering denying his accusations but then pushed right through like she couldn't have cared less about his opinion."And so what? I have been in pain for years and no one cared about it. She definitely didn't care about my pain when she went off to mark my mate."She shrugged off his grip and walke

Reece woke up with his mate in his arms and realized that he could get used to this. To the warm press of flesh against his, to her event mingling with his, to the little sounds she made while she slept. He inhaled deeply, her scent making him feel warm all over.He wanted nothing more than to stay in bed with her but he had to get back to work. He had left the running of the pack unattended for too long. He must have troubled Alex and Allen a lot.The problem was that now he had to decide on what he would do with Ariana, the treacherous snake that was his mate's sister.Reece disentangled himself from Breeana and went to take a shower, his mind moving rather quickly as he thought of the ways he could punish Ariana without causing Breeana any grief. His mate was a good person. He wished she weren't so good. It would have made making this decision much easier.He was pulling on his clothes when she woke up.He wasn't looking at her or even actively monitoring the mate bond. He just kne

Sarah felt like a trap was constricting around her. If she tried to kill Ariana in her house, the scent would be damning evidence. The pregnancy had reduced her flexibility. Her ankles were swollen enough that she couldn't run much less drag a body.No. Her plan to get rid of Ariana would require a little more finesse.She had been up most of the night thinking up a storm on how to keep her hide safe.Pacing, she placed her index finger in her mouth and bit her nail. She would have used Ariana to acquire the information she needed to keep herself alive if only Breeana hadn't gone into heat.Everything was so messy right now and it was that Breeana's fault. Sarah would break her back coming up with great plans only for that girl to come in and ruin everything. Unintentionally at that. How insulting.There was nothing to be done. She had to do this through the dangerous method that she'd pushed off as a last resort. She had no choice but to take the bull by the horns.Sarah took a showe

Breeana exchanged glances with her mate then they both looked at Allen whose face was coloured in embarrassment although he looked like he wanted to go after Sarah.Wow. That had been… unexpected. Sarah and Allen. She had thought that Sarah was still grieving Damien but then again she of all people knew how unpredictable love could be. Although this seemed more like a fatal attraction to her."So…" Reece said, his eyebrow arched."So…" Breeana said, hers arched even higher."Nothing." Allen rubbed the back of his head looking rather uncomfortable and as though he was looking for a way out. He cleared his throat."I came to tell you that Callie and Nelson are back."Breeana's eyes widened in shocked delight and she squealed. They were back! All thoughts of questioning and teasing the hell out of Allen fell to the back of her mind.Why hadn't Callie sent word about their imminent return? Probably to surprise her. Well, she was more than duly surprised."Reece, I have to go and see her."

Reece woke up with a jolt. He hadn't been asleep for more than a few minutes. There was a breach.Breeana sat up next to him blearily."Reece?"He was already standing up from the bed."Get to the safe house. We are under attack. The rogues just hit us."Breeana gasped lightly and straightened, picking up her discarded clothes in a hurry."The safe house? Like hell, I'm going to hide. I'm coming with you."Reece pulled on his shirt over his shorts. "I have alerted Allen and Alex. Allen is gathering the women and children of the pack in the safe house. I need you to go there."Breeana came in front of him, her eyes sparkling."Don't ask me to do this, Reece. Not again. The last time…"Shawn had happened.Reece inhaled deeply and pulled her close, dropping a kiss on her forehead before embracing her."Please baby, do this for me. The rogue's numbers are the highest we've seen in a really long time. I need you to keep our people safe. If you fight next to me, I'll be unable to focus on a

Ivy stood opposite Breeana on the platform. She looked cocky. Her father was an elder, she had probably gotten training since before she could even walk.Breeana on the other hand had been more medically inclined and been coddled by her father since she was his last pup. Her father who was currently guarding the safe house while Ivy ran her mouth.Breeana went at her so fast that Ivy did not expect it but she quickly got her feet underneath her. She lunged at Breeana. Breeana sidestepped it, her movements fluid and loosening up, her leg stretching out to kick out her feet from beneath her.Ivy saw the move coming and leapt back to avoid it then came at her even harder, her claws out as she moved into a partial shift. Breeana centered her core as they moved around the podium.Block, strike, duck, strike. The only sounds Breeana could hear were the sound of their breathing and her pulse racing out of control.Reece was fighting, dying and all she could do was trade blows with an immatur
