Jamari’s POV Once my Kings have dried me off, Levi carries me to his oversized bed, shivers of anticipation move through me as I watch Kenji following us out. Levi lays me in the center of the bed, red satin sheets surround me, sending shivers down my body everywhere it touches. My hands reach up to grab my breast as my need for release grows by the second. The lights go out in the bathroom, plunging us into darkness. My eyes quickly adjust to the dark as I lean up, beckoning for my King to come closer. Out walks Kenji from the shadows, completely naked, his cock already standing at attention for me. I lick my lips, anticipation growing within me. Suddenly I feel hands rubbing my breasts from behind me, sending delicious tingles down to my toes. I glance back and meet Levi’s grinning face, drawing my attention away from Kenji walking towards the bed. Hands reach up my thighs from in front as Kenji reaches us, his eyes black from his arousal. He places soft kisses as his hands
Ruth’s POV“Dad!” I brush his hands away from me. “I’m fine…” Whining isn’t my thing, but at this moment I could care less. I hate it when my father fusses over me. It’s embarrassing. Andrew chuckles from the chair next to the bed. I turn my head to glare at him, but he is unfazed by my silent threat, continuing to laugh at my misery. It’s been only two hours since I woke up in my bed back home in the Demon Realm and I am already ready to kill someone. “Just let me check you over.” My father reaches for me once again, I swat his hand away before he can touch my temple. Stupid Angels always trying to heal people! A deep sigh leaves my father as he places his hands back at his sides. “Fine, you win.” He tells me, holding his hands up in surrender. I eye him suspiciously. It isn’t like my father to give in to me so easily. This must be some kind of trick. Andrew begins to laugh harder in his chair as he leans over holding his stomach. I grab a pillow and launch it at his head. What I
Remiel’s POV “So, Levi found a woman he wants for longer than a night?” I turn to avoid her eyes, fluffing up her pillow and pulling her blanket around her. My heart picks up pace at the thought of the woman I’ve never met. Her scent was maddening the other day in Levi’s office. I haven’t been able to get her off my mind since I left. Levi’s weird behavior while I was there makes me all the more curious. He was trying to keep me from meeting this mystery woman as if he knew something I didn’t know. “Why the interest in Jamari Dad?” Jamari…what a beautiful name. My heart picks up speed as a picture of a woman with red hair flashes through my mind. Was that a vision? Could that be the face of the woman whose scent I smelled? Ruth eyes me suspiciously as she watches me carefully. Nothing gets by my sweet Ruthy. I let out a sigh, debating whether I want to tell my daughter about my secret obsession with a woman I have only smelled. “What’s going on Dad?” “When I was in Levi’s offi
Jamari’s POVToday is the day. The Blood Moon will be here tonight and the truth will be revealed. I stare at my reflection in the vanity mirror and sigh. Nerves are coursing through my body as fear grips me as I think about tonight.Memories from my eighteenth birthday flash through my mind as I try to fight off the feelings of not being good enough rising up within me. What if I go up on that stage in front of my family and my pack and once again nothing happens? I couldn’t live with more disappointment. And what about my parents? They have already had to suffer through the humiliation of me not having a wolf once, how will I face them if I put them through that a second time? It should have been me that was killed, not Samara. She was the Wolf Queen and a strong leader for our pack. ‘You sister was never the true Wolf Queen. It has always been you Jamari.’ My body tenses as my eyes flash around the room, looking for the voice that spoke. ‘Quit looking around the room like an idio
Ruth’s POV For the first time in my life I find myself fidgeting in my seat on Jamari’s bed. The bed dips beside me as Jamari sits down and places her hand on mine to quiet my nerves. I volunteered to come help Jamari get ready for the Blood Moon so that I could talk to her about mate bonds, but now that I am here I find myself at a loss for words. All of this is new to me. Aside from my father and Levi I have never cared about anyone before. Now I have Andrew and Jamari, but it is hard to pull myself from the cocoon I placed myself in all those years ago to protect myself from the pain of loss. Am I ready to expand my cocoon to fit in more people that could potentially leave me like my mother? Toughen up Ruth! You are second in command in the Demon Realm, not some stuttering teenager in love for the first time. Time to rip off the bandaid. I turn my head to meet Jamari’s eyes, deciding to dive off the deep end. “Can you tell me about mate bonds?” Surprise flits across Jamari’s
Kenji’s POV “Is everything ready for tonight?” I ask, not glancing up from the papers spread out across the Luna’s desk I have taken over. The sound of Beta Yuriko plopping herself in a seat in front of me pulls me from the report that currently has my attention. “What’s with you?” Yuriko looked like someone just killed her dog and she was formulating her revenge. Her eyes meet mine as she scowls at me. “He’s a fucking man!” She growls in disgust, her arms wrapping around her small chest. Yuriko was always smaller than the other wolves in our pack, but that didn’t stop her from beating her way to the top and into the position of my Beta. She is the fiercest warrior I have and I owe a lot to her. I stare at her in confusion to which she responds with an eye roll, letting out a huff of air. “My mate.” She grumbles. My eyes widen in surprise. Yuriko has found her mate, but why does she look so unhappy? Then her words from earlier register in my brain and I can’t stop the laughter f
Jamari’s POVI couldn’t stop the anxiety that washes over me as we step out into the courtyard. Memories from my eighteenth birthday flash in my mind causing me to pause at the entrance. I find myself stuck in my spot, staring out at everyone gathered around to witness my transformation. Or what I am hoping will be my transformation. I feel Levi grab my right hand and give it a light squeeze as reassurance that he is by my side. I grip his hand tighter, not wanting to lose the comfort his presence brings, as Kenji grabs my left hand in his. I glance down at our joined hands, taking a deep breath in to ready myself for what comes next. ‘You got this.’ Flits through my mind in the background as the familiar voice of my newly acquired wolf tries to calm my nerves. I lift my right foot and begin to descend the stairs, taking the plunge and walking towards the same stage that torments my dreams still. The closer my feet bring me to the stage the louder my heart thumps in my chest, nerve
Ruth's POVAfter leaving Jamari’s room I went in search of Andrew. Tonight is the Blood Moon and I have a good feeling that the moon will reveal that Andrew is my other half. I have already decided to accept him and Cody even if it turns out he isn’t destined for me, but I am still anxious to find out. Strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, my body relaxing into the familiar tingles that erupt everytime Andrew touches me. A content sigh leaves my lips as my arms wrap themselves around Andrew’s arms. “There you are gorgeous.” Andrew whispers in my ear, nipping my lobe with his teeth. My arousal spikes instantly as the scent fills the small hallway. “Careful little mate.” Cody growls in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. “There will be plenty of time for that later.”I turn in his arms, placing my hand on his chest. Lifting up on my toes my teeth nip at Andrews, well Cody’s, lips. “Looking forward to it Cody.” I whisper before dancing out of his arms and skipping down the h
