Alpha Keen POV
My father and elder council member Matthew finally finished with briefing me on the knowledge they had found describing the Tai Jitu Wolves. Apparently they are a rare bonded wolf pair, and they haven’t been seen in over a hundred years. They both always have powers and due to their wolf spirits strength they are usually rulers of our kind, but not always a mated pair even though in most cases they ended up that way. This was something that both Matthew and my father kept bringing up, and not just the fact that usually they became a mated pair even if they weren’t fated. But they kept talking about the strength that the pair would have together.
After the last counsel meeting where my father and Westley seemed to be seething about West’s lost chance to be with me fated mate I could care less about the power their bond holds. West is not going to be getting any alone time with Gemma, because we all know how he
Alpha Keen POVWhoever was able to breech my security system was either someone who was a master at hacking, or one of the few people with access to the packs security system. I needed to keep this quite and close to my chest until I know more. This needed to be investigated as quickly and quietly as possible, and that meant that i had to rely on at least one other person to help me. Thinking about the possible suspect list was fucking depressing, because there were only five other people who had enough access to the security system to be able to pull this off.I knew if I slowed down to think about my mate being missing, or the possiblity of her being in the hands of another man it would send me into an Alpha rage. I didn't have time to deal with that right now, and I really didn't want anyone to know that my Rose bud was gone. Someone within this house took my mate for Goddess only knows, and anyone involved was going to pay with their liv
Gemma POVI awoke in a log cabin wearing black satin lingerie that showed off way more than I was comfortable with, and the only other person here was Westley. He was half naked too only wearing black satin pants that were riding low on his hips showing off his sculpted Adonis belt, but just thinking about someone putting us together as a couple made the bile rise within my throat. My head ached and was still a little fuzzy from whatever powder they used to get me here, and from the way that Westley is seething I don’t think he came here willingly either. Although at this point nothing would surprise me, because just a week ago I didn’t think werewolves existed.He begins pacing the room aggressively like a caged tiger that’s been agitated, and I brace my self for what he is about to say. “Gemma you have to know I had nothing to do with this.” He looks to me to see if his words are getting through searching my e
Gemma POVI drop the blanket from my shoulders and bound towards him needing to feel his soothing electric touch. “I knew you would find us Keen, I’ve missed you so much!” His arms open ushering me to be wrapped in his embrace, but there aren’t any sparks electrifying my skin. I try not to think about it as my mate stares at me with a gaze that holds a possessive protectiveness, but also a tender admiration which should be conflicting, but they aren’t.He doesn’t lean in to kiss me like normal, but when I lean into him reaching on my tip toes to meet his lips. I only brush my lips against his softly before pulling back to look into his eyes, and I can see his self-control snap in that moment. Before I can over think his unusual behavior he pulls me harder into his chest looking into my eyes with a lustful need I’ve never seen making my heart begin fluttering against my rib cage. The intensity his eye
Westley POVThe sun had slowly started to set when Gemma’s eyes locked onto mine peering deep within me like they had done before I had betrayed her trust. She was looking at me once again like I was her savior, filling the depths of my soul with a warmth that’s incomparable to anything else. I would do anything to have her keep looking at me in this way. “I knew you would find us Keen, I’ve missed you so much!” Her words should have felt like a slap in the face, but even though I knew she thought I was Will but she was still calling me by my last name.I knew she was only looking at me this way because the drugs had finally gotten to her, but her intense eyes didn’t have any less effect on me. The drugs that were being pumped into the cabin hadn’t had worked on me yet, but I didn’t have time to think about what that meant before she was sprinting towards me. The look of pure happiness an
Alpha Keen POVBy 8:30am my office is once again filled with all my elite members, but besides my Beta and his mate Jennifer no one knows the real reason were here. As I was setting up the meeting with everyone that we thought could be involved, the two of them set up the plan for how we could expose our rat or rats.I try to study everyone’s body langue as they enter my office trying to see if someone is acting differently, but besides being everyone being annoyed nothing seems out of the ordinary. My father and mother are the first to enter with my father acting like the arrogant Alpha he is by questioning Andy about what is going on. That’s normal though but my mother takes her place beside him with a sorrow filled expression that piques my interest, because that’s usually an expression she only has when he’s hiding something.The other two elite pack members enter like normal but looking more
Alpha William POV The minute my parents were out the door my Beta and his mate stormed back into my office. So much for a moment to myself to think about all the information I was just given. “What the hell was that about?” Jennifer demanded. I was not in the mood for this, but I knew for my Rose bud I need to keep my emotions in check. “That was me taking a fucking moment to see if my father was the lying bastard I thought.” I grumbled as I fell back into my chair, running my hand through my hair. My Beta laughed, “And?” Both of their eyes were boring holes into me, and I knew I needed a drink before I could keep going. I walked over to the bar pouring us all a shot and motioning them to join me. “That bad Will?” I nod and we all down a shot before I fill them in about my brother being an Alpha because of my father’s mistrust in me. His denial of having assisted Everett, and my mother’s cluelessness in thinking that Westley was
Alpha William POVThe Coven King and I stare one another down as we both contemplate our next steps in our pursuit of Gemma. The Coven King looks like he is ready to scorch the earth if I don’t hand him his “property” over, and to be frank I am sick of myself and everyone thinking of her as something we can own. In our pack we are raised to believe that our fated mates are ours not only to take ownership of, but to love and take care of for the rest of our lives. A long the way my ego took over, and I forgot that she wasn’t just mine to possess but to take care of by loving her the way she deserves.I’ve definitely been the shitty mate who only took ownership of the gift the Goddess gave me, I took advantage of our sacred bond one she had no clue even existed doing so without even giving one thought to how that would feel, and I all but forgot that while I may claim her as Mine I was supposed to allow her to tru
Gemma POVI can’t stop shaking as my mind begins to slowly intermingle the feelings I have for William and Westley carefully together making me feel that the person in front of me was Westley, but also my Alpha and fated mate. His eyes are peering into the depths of my soul that only he can reach, while they hold a lustful need within them that I can’t understand while my mind is circling frantically. He licks his lips slowly as I feel the anticipation within me building only stirring my arousal as I slowly forget why I’ve been holding back with him. He is everything I have ever wanted and needed.My once tense body begins to slowly relax as his fingers start to caress the bare skin on the back of my arms making a shiver run down my spine. I find my own fingers slowly making there way towards his bare chest running them along his hardened pectoral muscles before moving along the ridges of his six pack.
