August's POV : Attitude my ass!. I looked at Alpha Ian's border angrily then at Sharon who was busy pressing her phone. I get what the alpha meant by having her with me, but I hated it. I wanted Lexi! Everything was so damn fucked up. Yesterday, I could hear her mating with the twins and that only opened my eyes. There was no way she would like me, yet I still enjoyed her company. Why Moon Goddess, why wasn't I mated!. For years I perfected my skills, at least that's what I thought. I did everything to prepare myself for my mate and that included me being kind to others and hard working. "Are you seriously going to be on the phone even now?" I asked her seriously. "Yes." She answered without glancing my way. "I hate your one word answer and so we are clear, the pack is right in front of our fucking eyes." I pointed out getting her attention. She frowned then cleared her throat. We could see a few people close to the entrance looking at us. When we got closer we saw their
Sharon's POV: "Put me down, asshole!" I screamed, ignoring the beautiful tingles I felt as my mate walked upstairs. I couldn't believe he was treating me like this! "August! Save me!" I screamed through our mindlink when he walked into a room. Immediately, he put me down. I raised my hand and slapped him across the face without thinking. Fear washed over me when he stood still, without moving an inch or reacting. What was he? My slap was meant to inflict pain on him, yet he acted as if it was nothing. "I... I..." I stuttered. "Relax, I won't hurt you. I just want us to talk," he whispered softly, while he moved his hand to his cheek and gently rubbed it. I frowned and took a step back when my wolf growled at me furiously. She had hated him a second ago, but now she was hating on me for hitting him. "I'm really sorry, but if I did something you didn't like outside, I won't do it again. So please be at ease," he said softly, then dropped his hand. My heart was hurting badly.
Logan's POV: I wasn't going to risk it. Fuck no, and I'm glad that I didn't. When I saw everything play out in front of me, I was furious with the beta for touching my mate, yet on the other hand, I was willing to overlook everything because I was scared of being rejected by her. First of all, I was in bed with another woman before her arrival. Although it wasn't intercourse, it was still oral sex. Me rushing to her side after picking up her amazing scent was a mistake that I couldn't help. Secondly, I acted so possessive over her that it almost made her uncomfortable. When she slapped me hard across my cheek, my wolf and I kept our cool because we truly felt attracted to her and needed her. I saw how the twins, Alpha Ian, as well as Neo, almost messed up their chance of being happy. They acted all high and mighty when, in truth, they were sad and so alone. I wasn't going to go down that road no matter what. That's why I was going to win my mate over and convince her in just a fe
Sherry's POV : True happiness was what I was experiencing for the first time. It didn't matter if I couldn't see my mate or Maggie, to me as long as they were on my side. The past weeks that went by I got to meet a few people who where working under my mate and that included his Beta. The day we first spoke I came to learn a few things and among those things was his undying love for Damon. He was like his biological brother and he reminded me so much of how Ian and Neo were. "What's wrong?" Damon asked besides me as we slowly walked. "It's nothing, I'm just happy that we are taking a walk together." I answered with a smile then inhaled deeply taking in the scent of flowers. "Of course, to begin with I was against the idea of you staying couped up in the room for days. You need to take a walk around everyday with either me or maggie." He answered then gave my hand a light squeeze. "Are there flowers around us?" I asked softly. "No, we are just surrounded by trees, the flowers ar
Damon's POV: I looked seriously at the two men who were surrounded by my warriors. I could tell that one of them was a warlock, while the other was a fairy. They had no weapons on them, yet that didn't mean they weren't dangerous; they were still capable of using magic. "Turn back now, or else things will get ugly," I commanded coldly. They both looked at each other, then looked at me. "Alpha Damon, we apologize for crossing your border. It's just that we are in need of your help," the warlock said as I raised a brow, studying his every movement. It was obvious that the bastard took me for a fool. How could I help them when I knew nothing about them? Yet still, they could be working for my first mate. "I'll say this for the last time, so listen carefully. Go back now and never, ever cross my pack's border again," I said, then turned to walk away. "Please, we beg you," the fairy said loudly. When I turned back to glance at him, I was taken aback. The warlock was kneeling with
Sherry's POV: Felix, the purebred vampire, was a name well-known in Ian's pack because of how close she was to him. Back in the pack, I had met her a few times, but that didn't mean we talked. From what I could gather from Ian, she was a very powerful and capable ally one could ever have. If these men were truly her friends, then it was good to have them on our side. Who knew what the future held? They could one day be needed for assistance. Damon was definitely against it, but I wanted him to be in their favor. "So tell me, what help do you need from me?" Damon spoke seriously. "I come from a long line of warlocks and charm casters," Lee answered. "You mean witches," Damon asked in a correcting tone. "Yes, I do. Not so long ago, I received a letter from my parents who requested my presence immediately. When I went to that side, I discovered that our family crest was stolen by someone. No one had an idea who it could be because it was kept as a secret and only a few people kne
Sherry's POV: "I swear to the moon goddess, if she doesn't wake up soon, I'm going to fucking kill the both of you, do you hear me? I'll rip you into pieces!" I heard Damon's loud, furious growl, which was followed by a very pleasant scent that made my heart flutter and my mouth water. I groaned in pain and moved my hand to my forehead, gently rubbing it. I had a terrible headache. "Oh, Sherry. Thank goodness you're awake," he whispered in relief, then gently grabbed my hand as I frowned. The tingles I felt were unlike anything I had ever felt in my life. The pain I was experiencing instantly subsided, and my body relaxed. "Damon, water," I forced out the words. "Right away," Maggie's voice came through. As Damon helped me sit upright, I could hear movements and loud heartbeats coming from my left side. "Where are Lee and Chase?" I asked in a husky voice. "We're here," Lee answered in a sad tone. "Oh," I whispered, then took a deep breath. The scent was alluring and filled t
Ian's POV: What sort of nonsense was I witnessing? It was absurd to think that the simple private wedding had already taken place, yet we were still being asked to stay back! My mind was back with my pack; it had been a long time since I left Neo in charge. "You know it's a happy day, you don't have to look like you're attending a freaking funeral," Felix whispered softly. She was sitting comfortably next to me, with a glass of tequila shot in one hand. "Remind me again why you're here?" I asked sarcastically. "Well, for once, Uncle is like a father to me, but besides that, I wanted to be a part of this," she answered, then chuckled nervously. "Did Chase go somewhere?" I asked seriously. "Yes, he went out with Lee to find out about a stolen family crest," she answered and took a shot. "That answers it all. It was shocking enough that you would come here looking all lonely and shit. Like, who could have guessed you really were?" I mocked. "Ian," Amelia called in a cold tone.
