Chapter 8
Leila POV
All the kids from the pack are gathered out in the backyard, sitting in a semi-circle on the lush green grass, staring up at the big hulking man perched on a stool in front of them. I can tell he’s uncomfortable, and his gaze flits up and around the adults sitting at the edges, watching. My eyes drift around my pack members, and my hackles go up when I see three women, who I know don’t have any kids, giggling as they check out my mate. His thick beard and dark hair are longer now, and it suits him. He rests his elbows on his thighs as he leans forward to speak to the children, who are hanging onto his every word. His forearms are bare, and I can see his taut muscles flexing under his tanned ski

One year later Marcus POV The glimmering light flashing between the tree trunks tells me I have a visitor long before I hear the rumble of the engine. The familiar red pickup creeps up the long driveway to my cabin and music blares from inside even though it’s well past midnight. “You’re trespassing,” I call out as the driver’s door swings open and the tall wolf steps out. Ethan leans one arm on the roof of his truck and raises an eyebrow at me. “Good to see you too, neighbor,” he laughs, completely unfazed by my surly mood. I growl quietly and fix him with my most unwelcoming stare, hoping he’ll get the message and just leave. “You’re not my neighbor and I saw you in Taaffe’s a couple of hours ago. Whatever it is, it can wait till the morning.” I make no move to stand as he climbs my porch stairs and eyes the chair beside me pointedly, his way currently blocked by my feet perched on the porch railing. He smirks and raises a six-pack of beer at me as a peace offering. I would lik

Leila POV The packhouse is normally a hive of activity, but today it is eerily quiet. As well as my entire family, there are anywhere between 30 to 40 wolves living there at any one time. Instead of just the Alpha’s family living there as if the norm in a lot of packs, my parents dedicated the first floor to single bedrooms for the unmated members of our pack to live in, if they want. Wolves are social animals, so we want to live in close proximity to others. The fact that our pack’s principal businesses are construction and hospitality has allowed us to pass the arrangement off to the local human population as accommodation for seasonal workers, or construction crews working away from home on projects. I creep downstairs from my apartment on the top floor and into the kitchen, raiding the fridge for leftover dessert, before heading into the communal living area. Still nobody. It doesn’t make any sense, but I’m not complaining. I fling myself onto the large sectional sofa, snag the r

Marcus POVI am out at the scene of a car crash when I get a call from old Jack Miller, Grey Ridge's oldest resident, and the friendly local neighborhood watch.As soon as he tells me he's heard a commotion near Hayley's house, I realize that her ex has come for her.When he mentions a gunshot, my blood runs cold. Hayley came to me when she first arrived in town, telling me the story of her abusive ex-boyfriend who had been stalking her and her family since she left him. She is lying low and trying to rebuild her life but feels that inevitably, he will find her. She needed someone in her corner who would take her seriously if and when that happened.He sounded like a nasty piece of work and my protective bear immediately took her under our wing. She didn't have anyone to look after her until she found Cooper, that is.Cooper and his brothers will do everything they can to get to her before something bad happens.I tear down the road,

Marcus POVI pick her up easily, and she automatically wraps her legs around my waist, fitting her slim body against mine perfectly. Her core is pressed up against the raging hard-on I've been trying to ignore since we got into the truck feels insanely good, and she must agree because she rocks her hips slowly against me, enjoying the pressure and the friction. I sit her on the tailgate and press my cock hard against her, and she gasps, the sexiest little noise right into my ear, sending shivers of delight down my spine."Jesus Christ Leila."I squeeze her breast gently through her black top, rubbing my thumb over her nipple before pinching it lightly. They're the perfect size, filling my large hands as if made for my touch. She arches into me, silently begging for more as our tongues tangle and her grip on my hair tightens, sending tingles dancing across my scalp. I haul her forward so that her feet hit the floor without breaking our kiss. I flick open the butt

Leila POVI can still see in my mind the exact moment when Marcus finally cracked and gave in to the unbearable sexual tension between us. His brown eyes flashed to black in an instant and his bear was in the driver's seat when he shoved me against the side of the truck and kissed me senseless. And I loved every second.Despite being an alpha female, there is something incredibly powerful about knowing your mate was so turned on that he couldn't hold back for a second longer. I've never felt so desirable. When I bared my neck to him in submission, handing over control, it hadn't felt like weakness; it was empowering.And I know his bear loved it. I could feel the rumbles of approval vibrating through Marcus's chest into mine.His brown eyes were black with lust as he used those big, rugged hands to make me come. That we were outdoors, in the dark, in nature, had made it even hotter. Just thinking about it is enough to get me all worked up again, but

Marcus POVSlamming the door to the station shut behind me in temper, I turn too quickly and spill hot coffee all over my shirt and scald my hand. I resist the urge to throw the disposable cup at the opposite wall as hard as I can in temper. Instead, I kick the trash bin beside me, sending it careening across the floor into a desk, before landing on its side and emptying balled-up bits of paper all over the floor. My attempts at writing up a draft report earlier on the attack were a complete waste of time because my head was all over the place. My bear is out of control, and I know exactly what has him on edge, or who.“I get it, big guy. You like her. And I fucked it up,” I mutter out loud to him as I stomp through the small rectangular sheriff’s building to my office at the back, turning on lights and opening blinds as I go. I toss the almost full cup straight into the sink as I pass the kitchenette, watching the remaining contents splatter on the s

Leila POVMy heat is making me crave him like oxygen. My self-induced orgasm isn’t close to enough to satisfy this need. It’s physically painful to be this near to him and not be touching him. He could give me all the relief I need in an instant.“Leila, what were you doing?” He asks in a husky voice, taking uneven, ragged breaths.“I’m house-sitting,” I say, opting to play dumb, as my cheeks flame, thinking about what he must have just seen.“I… fuck, that’s not what I meant, sweetheart. Were you were touching yourself? You called my name, and it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” He stares into my eyes, before he steps back releasing my wrist, and looks me over from head to toe and back up again, swallowing deeply and clenching his hands into tight fists over and over again.“Correction, it’s the second hottest thing I’ve ever seen. Leila, you&rsquo
The Alpha's Inferno Chapter 16
Marcus POV This woman is going to be the death of me. As I watched her come on the bed, dark tousled hair spread out messily around her, olive skin still rosy from her bath, and a satisfied smile on her face, my bear surged forward. He is begging me to take her and mark her as ours. It is both terrifying and exhilarating. He keeps insisting that she is our mate and that I am a fool for not taking her right now and claiming her. This was why he brought me here. He drove me mad until I relented and came into town to check on Hayley’s house. I thought maybe he sensed something was up, that an attacker was back, that maybe there was more evidence out there that we hadn’t found yet. But it wasn’t any of those things. He is just a horny bastard. His enhanced sense of smell must have picked on something that quite hadn’t registered with me. Until I got to the porch, and the most heavenly smell on earth reached my nostrils. I couldn’t have stopped myself from walking through
