LOGINChapter 2
Jared’s POV
The alarm is brutal but this morning it is absolutely needed. After coding for hours to close the gapping insecurity, I had to make up my late night at work to my wife. Her support is everything.
I was raised in an Omega household with 15 siblings, including an almost identical twin. So basically, I was just one in a crowd. The scholarship to Cambridge was everything. I got out of my village in Finland.
For two years I thought about nothing but getting to America and rising above my Omega status. Then I scented her. She had braids that were long enough to cover her back. Her eyes, pools of brown and gold, her lips full and lush, her smile froze me and heated me up at the same time.
I roll over and her pillow is cold. She needs sleep but I hear the shower. I look over and her bonnet is hung up. She is washing her hair. I lay back down, she is going to be a while.
Two years ago she lost the braids and decided she wanted natural hair. Since then she has kept it short and styled. I love it. When she steps out into the bedroom she moves around quietly.
“I’m awake My Love,” I announce making her giggle.
“I was planning on you sleeping in. I already had your assistant clear your morning,” She tells me as she covers her magnificent breasts with the torture device known as a bra. She slips into the matching panties and I can’t help the drool that silds out off my mouth. “Don’t you get more fluids on my sheets. I have to get the housekeeper to change them. They are dry right now.”
I laugh and lay back on my pillow. “I love you. But I have to get up and get to the office.”
Crystal rolls her eyes. “You do you, but I think you need to rest. It was a late night for you.”
“You made it a late night for me. That body you got, damn I can’t stop myself,” I jump off the bed and grab her by the waist.
I kiss her neck where 8 years ago I marked her with my canines. My wolf howled in my head that night. She moans from the kiss the same as she did that night in her dormitory on sheet that likely cost more than my rent at the time.
I was broke, a scholarship Omega, a dreamer with the outline of a security protocol. When she marked me I knew I had to work to deserve her. I would take nothing from her or her family. I would take my outline and make it real.
I pull her back to bed, on sheets we paid for, still expensive, but ours.
“I have to get to work,” She giggles in the fakest protest I have ever heard.
“Are you saying stop?” I ask sliding on top of her.
“I have never, nor will I ever say stop,” Crystal smiles up at me.
“Torn or take them off,” I tug at her panties.
“Tear them!” She moans loudly.
I rip her panties and toss them. I’m naked because after round three last night, I didn’t have energy to dress.
I push inside her loving how wet she is.
We move with a rapid speed. Our lips fighting for a deeper connection. I move my fingers between us and glide them along her clit, realizing I’m not going to last long. My dick slides in and out of her as we both reach our climax.
“Not the best orgasm you have ever given me, but not the worst either,” Crystal’s smile and giggle make me laugh.
“I had wolfsbane in system that night,” I remind her. “I got it up, that was impressive in of itself.”
She holds me close as we roll to my back. “I wish I had known about the wolfsbane that night. Delaying treatment almost killed you.”
“Almost doesn’t count. It was you,” I move a strand of hair to behind her ear, “You knew something was off and you got the care I needed.”
She looks down at me with saddness in her eyes.
“I only knew something was wrong because the sex was bad. I should have felt it, I should have known.”
“Baby, don’t blame yourself. Blame the one who did it to me,” I sit up with her straddling my lap. “It’s okay now. We know to look for signs and we know what to do. It was like most things, a learning experience.”
She smiles and kisses my lips again. “Yes it was. But I am glad it’s over.”
I hold her close and chose not to remind her we still have no idea who poisoned me.
“OH!” She jumps off me and grabs her phone. “Do you know anyone named Amiee?”
“No,” I shake my head and look at her phone. “Who in the fuck?”
“It’s one of Jason’s affairs. Did you know he was using your identity?” She asks me.
“No,” I answer truthfully taking the phone and reading the texts. “I didn’t. Why in the hell would he say he is me? Everyone in the world knows I’m married to and obsessed with you.”
“Well someone didn’t get the whole message. Because Amilee wants you to be only hers,” She bats her eyes at me and smiles.
“Amilee can go suck the devil’s dick, she will never see mine,” I say throwing the phone away. “She must be human. Any wolf would know you would feel betrayal.”
“I think the same. And clearly she is not his mate. He would have told him who he actually is. It’s almost impossible to lie to your mate,” Crystal staddles me again.
“It is impossible,” I smile at her as she takes my dick inside her again.
Whatever good thing I did to convince the moon goddess I deserve to be Crystal’s mate, I thank her for finding it worthy. Crystal is everything I dreamed a mate would be, with the added bonus of more of all of it.
When we are cleaned up and dressed, both having abandoned arriving at the office on time, we leave our apartment and head down the elevator.
When we pull out of the parking garage onto the busy streets of Atlanta, Crystal wants to talk more.
“Will you say anything to Jason?”
“I haven’t decided what to do Baby,” I tell her honestly. “Any ideas?”
“Let it go, let her hang herself. Keep receipts of where you are so that if she ever decides she is done being a sidepiece,” Crystal leans back in her seat. “Honestly, she is going to be completely devasted. I would feel sorry for her if she hadn’t taunted me. I would let this all go, sit her down and tell her about Jason. But she chose violence. She chose to send me pictures and taunts. She gets nothing from me. No respect, no sympathy. Nothing.”
I take my wife’s hand and kiss her fingers. “Understood.”
Chapter 81Nick’s POVRaija leads me to a creek and stops. Raija-Where are Mom and Dad?Me-They are waiting where we left them.Raija shifts back into human form and I do too. We stare at each other completely naked for maybe 30 seconds before we each take a step closer. “I wanted you,” She says with a smile.“Earlier you did say Mate didn’t you?” I ask he sure that is what I heard her whisper.Raija smiles. “You were so close and you kissed my forehead. When did you know?”“October when I came home,” I answer honestly. Raija smirks. She steps closer and so do I. There is only a few inches between us now.“So all the stupid things you have been doing is because you knew I am your mate?” She puts her tongue in her cheek to stop laughing.“When you knelt down on your knees in front of me at Christmas I got so hard I had to take a cold shower,” I reach up and brush her hair. “Never again,” Raija presses against me. “We are going to make every fantasy a reality, aren’t we?”I sm
Chapter 80Raija’s POV“So you go to sleep tonight, 17 and when you wake up in the morning you are 18,” Sean explains at dinner. “When does your wolf wake up?”“I hope soon. I have the headache from hell and Dad says it’s my wolf coming through,” I say as I start rubbing my head and Mom rubs my back.“It will get better,” Mom hugs me tight. I try to eat but every bite is like eating glass. I drop my fork and look at my Mom. “Honey,” Mom looks above my head and smiles. “She has a headache.”Then I feel a cooling relief on either temple. Two fingers on either side of my head are moving in circles around and around.“I’ll give you 30 minutes to stop,” I say knowing it’s Nick. “You did this for me five years ago. It’s the least I can do for you,” His voice makes my heart jump. He is rubbing cooling gel into my head . “Now this will work better is you let go and just let me do it.”I smile and try to decide if I want to be cheeky or not. I decide to be cheeky, “Is that what you pl
Chapter 79Raija’s POV“Why has Nick not come home for Christmas?” I ask my parents Christmas Morning.“I’m here,” Nick comes around the corner, his dark hair is falling into his face. “I just wanted to stay at a hotel for privacy.”“Bro got a girl?” Sean asks with a huge smile. “No, just weighing my options. You know I am supposed to take over as Alpha after graduation. I just wanted some space,” Nick says but I see sweat on his brow. Dad claps Nick’s shoulder and gives it a squeeze. This is Nick’s first trip home since October, even then he didn’t stay here.I smile at him and he smiles back. He goes around the room and hugs everyone. I wait for him to get to me. I miss his hugs. Nick looks pained as he gets close to me. We hug and I lean into him. I feel safe, protected, comfortable in his arms. We pull away and Nick sits as far away from me as he can. He and Mom talk pack matters as we open gifts. I can’t wait until Nick gets to mine. I found it last month and almost
Chapter 78Nick’s POV“Why do you hate me?” Raija screams as she stomps away from Mom and Dad.I walk to them in the den and see them holding each other. “Why do you hate her now?” I ask putting my bag down. “We don’t want her dating. She is so close to 18 and her mate could be in the pack, we just don’t want her dating,” Mom explains with sigh. “Mom she has like 6 months,” I sit down and try to relax. There a scent in the den that has me restless. “Fuck.”“Langage!” Mom pops the back of my head.“Mom I’m 23 and graduating in April from college. I need to talk to Dad alone. And I need Dad to promise not to kill me.”“Are you serious?” Dad asks seeing where I’m going.“I’m guess Raija just sat here,” I look up at him. “Oh this perfect,” Mom smiles. “You can tell her not to date.”“Yeah I’m not doing that. And I’m not sleeping here. That would be crazy. I’ll get a hotel off pack and we can have lunch tomorrow the three of us,” I say grabbing my bag. I sense her coming up an
Chapter 77Jason’s POVI take in my life. Thirteen years ago I was chasing skirts and having wild sex every night. I was pretending to be Jared to catch the best chicks. Now I am preparing for Nick’s graduation from High School.I’m a straight-laced father of five. A noted scientist as well. My wife has become the power broker in Georgia when it comes to agriculture. She is nonsense and sexy as hell in negotiations. The number of times I have bent her over a conference table after we are alone has become an imaginary number. “Dad,” Nick comes into the living room. He asked to not take over until he finishes college at Clemson University. “Yeah,” I stand up and look at him. It’s like looking at Dillion and that doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. “So we are heading to the school. You coming?” He looks at the photo album in my hand. “I don’t think I thanked you and Mom for the yearbook page. You included my birth parents. Thank you.”“Keesha and Dillion are t
Chapter 76Nala’s POV“Please sit down,” I say to Sean for the millionth time.“Butt in the seat and do not move,” Crystal barks and Sean freezes. I look at her down the row and blink.“I’m only a boy mom, I have the boy mom voice. You have three girls, you still have that soft touch,” Crystal snaps her fingers at Patrick who straightens up. “Fair point,” I say and turn back to the stage. In a few minutes I will watch my mate get a Nobel Prize. He held to his stance and didn’t tell his parents. So it’s Jared, Crystal, the seven kids and me, here to support Jason. Jared is a shaky bag of nerves. Crystal is try to calm him but he can’t stop.“What has you so nervous, Uncle Jared?” Nick asks.“One day when Sean is about to standup in front of hundreds of people you will understand,” Jared says making Crystal laugh. Nick looks down the row at Sean. Nick smiles. “He is more than my brother, he is my Beta.”Crystal puts her finger to his lips to remind Nick to stay quiet. Nick no
