Dylan POVI closed my eyes and took a deep breath, as much as Kendrick and I were getting along with him, we were still enemies, at least in that respect. Two Alphas competing for a woman's attention, each of us with our own pros and cons."I'm not sorry I'm trying to win her over." Kendrick's sentence made a shiver of anger run down my spine. Sin was wanting to let loose to challenge that man and honestly it was so strange that from a conversation about both of us being concerned about Hope and that it had now come to this."If she chooses you, I will leave her alone and even if she chooses you, I will continue to protect her, even if she doesn't want to and doesn't realize she needs it."I pulled away a little, to try to get the scent of the two of them out of my mind, but it was impossible, as Kendrick was holding my mate in his arms."Hope is my mate, that may not be important to you from the SilverRage pack, but it is to me. It means that she is mine and I am hers, that our soul
Kendrick POVI laid Hope down on the bed, seeing that her eyes were unfocused as she mumbled half-words and that there was no feeling between them. Her tone of voice was completely different than I remembered from all the times I had spoken to her, maybe...."It's the same tone she used before she was 8." I commented in a low voice, it made sense now, at the time I didn't think anything had changed about her, but now, listening to that timbre I knew that yes there had."We need to take blood samples and also analyze the darts that were thrown at her." I looked at the doctor in front of me."I have already asked Kaiden to bring the accessories, but as far as I know it is a very light mixture of wolfsbane, silver, mercury and some other ingredient to dilute the potency of those ingredients." I looked at Dylan who was on the other side of the bed, putting on a t-shirt and a pair of tennis shoes. His expression clearly showed his conflicting feelings."It's the same stuff we use in traini
Hope POVDon't these two realize that I don't want any serious relationship? That I already have enough to worry about? Of course not, because they only think about themselves. I twisted my mouth and rolled my eyes, honestly I would rather be hitting someone right now than dealing with this kind of situation."Hey! Hope!"I heard Kaiden's voice and turned to him, I rolled my eyes again, another one? I always knew he wanted to have something besides what we have, ever since Melvin died."No, I know that face..." Kaiden reached over and wrapped my left arm around him, beginning to pull me out of the hospital. "I'm satisfied with what we have, don't worry.""Did you happen to learn how to read minds?" I joked and smiled in relief."No, but I know you. The expression of disgust, of one who would rather be in a fighting arena than here." We started walking through the white corridors."It's the same expression you made when Beth declared herself to you." I shook my head remembering the s
Hope POVAs soon as I finished training with the recruits I felt Dylan holding me by the arm, somewhat forcefully."We need to talk." His tone of voice was meant to leave no room for contradiction."Dylan, if this happened a month ago, what do you think would have happened?" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to send you to the infirmary, and the gods know I don't want to reject you." I spoke low, a whisper, but I know he can hear, surely he realized the difficulty I was having controlling myself. "Yes, we need to talk. But no, that's not going to happen now or in the next few days. So how about you leave me alone until I'm ready to talk? Because honestly, my current thoughts are to attack you and send you to the infirmary, attack you and kill you, or reject you. Do you really want to test my patience now?""You want it or not, Hope. I'm part of this too, do you think it's easy for me not to attack you too? Not attack the people you kiss?"
Hope POVI looked at Dylan's back and took a deep breath, closing my eyes, feeling my body shaking, yes, I am afraid, I can feel this feeling going through my veins like a poison that I could intoxicate myself... But there is a very big difference, because my fear was not for me, I know that in the end, Caronte is waiting to take me to the Judge.That's my ending, well, actually everybody ends up like that, but... My point is, this will happen long before I can start a family. Dylan and Sin is a perfect match, Dylan is calm and controlled, while Sin is the out of control wildness and the two are perfect for me.Slowly Sin began to let go of my cravings and my lust and now I could see that he was accepting of who I was. My soul is yearning to accept him, to become one with him. The shadow on my neck pulses, it is the place where Dylan and Sin's mark would be if he ever marked me."I can't."I whispered and opened my eyes, realizing I had stopped shaking, I ran my hand through my hair,
Jenny POVThere are things that I can't say, that even Benny, my partner doesn't know... You know, these things don't necessarily have to do with secret missions, after all I am a soldier. I am a Gamma, meaning that I was born to fight, I have a great sense for fighting, missions and all that.Not that the others aren't good too, but Gammas have a natural predisposition for these things. I didn't start training at the age of 5, like Hope, but that didn't stop me from having excellent results.In the beginning I was more alone, I preferred to train alone, even today I am like this, that's why I usually take solo missions... But in training you learn to fight in a group as well.I saw Hope training from afar and at first I didn't understand how she liked to train so much, how she laughed when she got hurt or made a mistake. That was her fun, beyond childish pranks, she had fun in the training arena.In the beginning it was very natural to see Hope laughing at almost everything, having f
Kaiden POVI walked into my room, the light was off, the curtains closed, almost impossible to see if I wasn't a werewolf. The smell of strawberry in the air, soft, from Hope's shampoo and soap permeated the air, as did a faint smell of burning, almost off.I took a deep breath and shook my head slightly, Hope as always trying to do things on her own, I walked over to the bed, seeing the female silhouette lying on her stomach, tired. Her breathing was soft, as if she was sleeping, but I know full well that she is not."Hope, you shouldn't do that, you know," I commented and went to the bedside table, opened the drawer and pulled out a bottle with a greenish liquid in it. It was a healing oil that I always ordered from our pack."Grhan..." I let out a low chuckle hearing her grunt and climbed onto the bed, trying not to let my eyes roam the naked body of the woman I most desired."I know you, I know there is something you don't want to tell." I commented and then opened the bottle and
Hope POV - Monday afternoonI let my body fall onto Kaiden's, still hard inside of me. I know that if we didn't have practice now in the afternoon we could stay in here the whole time until he finally got tired. Advantages of being a Werewolf."Kai..." I whispered in a languid tone, closing my eyes, I felt him lift my waist affectionately and I could feel our fluids oozing out of me. Many people would be afraid to get pregnant, I wasn't, because, I knew it was impossible for that to happen to me."Hope..."He responded by arranging me on his chest, letting my head rest on his shoulder, stroking my back gently, until I heard him grunt."We have to go, kitten." He spoke, placing a kiss on the top of my head. "Kendrick just link me to come to his office as soon as possible."I lifted my head and looked at Kaiden's face, seeing that he was quite upset about the situation. I bent down enough to brush my lips against his, without involving our tongues, just to show my feelings toward him."
