Dina’s POV
Was Josh trying to mark me?!
Over my dead body!
I breathed in deeply, preparing to scream at the top of my lungs. But he efficiently cut me off by slamming his lips on mine. I gasped, but it came out as a muffled moan; almost encouraging him to continue. Now panic really sat in. I tried to turn my face away and push him off, by kicking my legs.
“JOSH, STOP IT!” I yelled between wet slipping kisses, while I kicked and screamed. Mentally, I cursed the sexist idiot who gave male werewolves their unbudgeable bodies. Because try as I might, I was trapped underneath him; not even my unusual strength could get him off. As if something had possessed him, Josh quickly grabbed both of my wrists with one hand and held them down. He continued to kiss my skin, nibbling the spot, where my mate would mark me, while his other hand moved lower,
Dina’s POVI don’t know why, but my wolf somehow decided that this was the perfect time to remind me of all the erotic visions of this situation that Rita had put into my head. I gulped, yet my mouth remained dry as a dessert. My heart felt like it was trying to break my ribs and a shiver crept down my spine. And worst of all? It wasn’t a bad kind of shiver…“If you punish me,” I somehow managed to whisper. “Dinner will be late.”His expression changed from mischievous to confused in a matter of seconds. His eyes went wide and his brows furrowed. I don’t think he expected that and, to be honest, as for excuses went, that was a rather lame one…“Oh, what do I do?” he replied sarcastically. “Dinner or punish you?”I shrugged, hoping he’d go for the former. He just sighed and shook his head, before walking over to me. His dark eyes trailed over
Dina's POVIf memory served me right, he hadn’t hit Josh, so he must have gotten those before he rescued me.“You need some ice for that?” I offered while wondering what had happened. Without waiting for an answer, I took the towel and icebag out of his hand, and as carefully as I could, I wrapped it around his hand.“It’ll heal,” he gruffly grunted and tried to shake me off. Mentally, I rolled my eyes at him."Hold still, you big baby," I huffed and grabbed his hand again, carefully avoiding putting too much pressure on it. This time he let me, despite the displeased growl that made his chest vibrate.“What happened?” I asked to distract him. I reached for the other hand and carefully gave it the same treatment I'd given the other one. I knew he'd heal in no time, but there was no need for him to be in pain while it happened.Macho alpha bullshit...“Tres
Dina’s POV“Dina!”I turned around and saw Alpha Stone leaning against the doorway to his office. The white tee clung to his body perfectly, and his jeans hung loosely around his hips.Goddess, he looked heavenly…“Yes, alpha?” I replied and tried to stop myself from ogling him. But my wolf kept encouraging me to eye-rape our alpha, which made that mission rather impossible. He looked so---He didn’t reply but motioned for me to follow him into his office. But instead of sitting down, he stood by his desk with that irresistible smirk of his. For a second, I wondered if I was in some kind of trouble – or if he’d changed his mind about last night and had decided to punish me. However, to my surprise, he pointed to the artwork I’d made on his wall.It was a small collection of stick figures gathered around a lake, that was the huge patch. On the patch were du
Levi’s POVI shut off the alarm but remained in bed for some reason. Usually, my wolf wasn’t a morning wolf--- or ‘any time of day’-wolf actually. My mornings usually started with me having to fight him for control because he wanted to kill the alarm – literally!But not this morning...He was quiet.And for once, I actually felt well-rested. And I’d even slept well.I felt amazing!And it worried me.Was my wolf planning something?I took a deep breath and let my mind wander…I lost control of my wolf yesterday. When I'd seen that son of a bitch on top of Dina, I'd lost it! My wolf surged forward and ripped him off her before I even had a chance to fight him. But I didn’t go on a killing spree like usual. Hell, I hadn't even killed the fucker who'd attacked her. Instead, my wolf had been focused on her. I'd seen the way she gasped for air and I r
Levi's POV“Don’t fuss about it," I tried. "That’s how I wake up every morning.”She spun around so fast, I think that even the air around her got whiplash. Her face was red as hell and her look could kill ordinary men.I gulped.OK, so--- not my best move? “You know it’s rude to point it out, right?” she barked, narrowing her eyes at me. And while I was the alpha in this situation and had several inches on the raven-haired beauty, I felt about an inch tall all of a sudden.“I was trying to cheer you up,” I confessed, not feeling at all too alpha-ly right then. And all because of a she-wolf? And no comments from my wolf?! Other than the huge grin on his face, hoping she’d been dreaming about us?What was wrong with that dog lately?!“Comparing your morning wood with a girl's wet dream, isn’t cheering her up,” Dina s
Levi’s POVShrek!That’s it!She reminded me of that damn cat in that Shrek cartoon! The way she’d always pouted her red lips and made those huge emerald green puppy eyes sparkle in the light. Making her look so innocent and sweet, even my beast had a hard time being mad at her.I groaned in annoyance and leaned back in my chair, knowing I had better things to do than to fantasize about my maid. That girl could make kings grovel at her feet - including yours truly! - and she didn’t even know it. She was so pure and innocent, yet didn't come across as naive or childish. she was just genuinely a really kind and sweet person, with no amount of sass lacking.I tripped my pen repeatedly against my desk, growling more and more annoyed with myself. But no matter how desperately I tried to push her out of my mind, the second thought that entered my mind was about her as well. I felt like she had me whipped
Levi's POV“Her brother?” Mick asked again, just as he got another text.My wolf growled.“That wouldn't surprise me,” I shrugged, trying not to let him see me gritting my teeth. Dylan’s two weeks had long since passed and just as Dina predicted, he didn’t show up. And none of my trackers were able to find even a shred of evidence that he was still alive. Not that I minded. I liked having his sister as a maid. And that wasn’t going to change any time soon. One, because if she was a target, I could keep her safe by keeping her close by. And second, the second Dylan stepped foot back into my territory, I was going to kill him for what he'd done to his sister. My wolf growled in agreement.What kind of man hits a woman?!And his younger sister at that? He was supposed to take care of her but instead---“Have you tried asking her? Perhaps she knows something?” Mick suggested
Dina’s POV“You and Michael?” I exclaimed, while my best friend was giggling like a hyena. My jaw was still located on the floor somewhere, as my best friend delivered the news of the century. I mean, sure, I knew they were dating. The guy had practically moved onto campus since I gave him her number and he was always with her whenever I was around. Like, literally, I saw him more than I saw the alpha. They spent every waking moment together and I could see how much she cared about him. Hell, she was falling for him faster than I usually cheated on my diet. But going from that to---MATES!Apparently, Michael had asked her to be his mate and she’d said yes. After less than two months of dating. That was a big step for wolves - really BIG! Bigger than getting married for humans. Luckily for werewolves, commitment really wasn’t a problem. We were social animals, more than humans ever could understand
This chapter includes violence – you have been warned!Several hours earlierLevi’s POVThe plan was rather simple:Find Dina!Kick Mick in the balls!Kill anything else!The tracker recovered their scent in the city and located the building that the vampires used as their clan. It was a typical vampire fortress. A skyscraper office/apartment building with a lot of human employees – easy lunch. But it went just as deep underground as the top floors.I surveyed the building with a couple of my top warriors, who, in human terms, would be my generals. We were discussing the attack. They were trained for situations like this, so this was nothing more than a walk in the park for them. Until one of them pointed out an obvious problem.“You can’t get in, unless you’re a vampire, Alpha,” he said. I wat
This chapter includes scenes of sexual assultDina's POVI asked, confused at first. I looked up and saw the vampire glancing down at me, a sinister smile creeping across his features.Mother fuc---!“YOU KILLED HIM!!!”I launched for him -aiming to rip out his throat. But he easily anticipated the move, catching me. With strong hands, he gripped my arms, pinning them against my back, and walked me back up against the wall. I screamed. Anger and pain coursed through my body.But the worst part?My heat was reacting to the male touching my body. The warmth and sensation from his touch dulled the pain in my core, making it hungry for more…“Yes,” he simply hissed close to my ear. His hot breath sent shivers down my spine. “And I will kill your precious alpha just as easily if you don’t start to cooperate!&rdquo
This chapter includes scenes of sexual assaultDina’s POVThe Vampire King and Dylan were gone. It was just me and Michael left in the darkness.“Are you a Dire Wolf?” Michael questioned suddenly, eyeing me carefully.“No,” I answered truthfully. Or at least I think it was---? “I don't think so,” I confessed, not really knowing what to think anymore. “My wolf is amazing and all, but pretty average--- I think.”“You think?” Michael echoed, confused.“She was bigger than Dylan’s wolf when I shifted,” I explained. “And really strong too. Dylan hated it, so after our parents died, he forbade me to ever shift in front of anybody. I guess it’s been a while since I could compare her to anyone else.”“How big are we talking?” Michael continued, now clearly interested. I rolled my
Dina's POVMy heart dropped and my blood ran cold.“Please tell me you’re talking about Las Vegas and not the actual Sin City,” I questioned, feeling a cold shiver creep down my spine. But the genuine fear on his expression said it all.Well, shit!“What would The Vampire King want with us?" I asked, feeling dread slowly creep up my spine. A wolf never wanted to take on a vampire alone and I definitely didn't want to take on a vampire while my wolf was MIA. Sure, a werewolf was stronger than a vampire, but they still had speed and agility on their side.Qualities that were handy in a fight...Only an alpha could ever face a vampire alone and match its speed, but Levi had been the only wolf I'd ever heard of that could take on several of them alone. But then again, Levi's wolf was Bloodlustled and was probably in a deadly league of his own."You don't suppose he'd into burned p
Dina's POVThis had to be some kind of joke, right? Why would anybody want to kidnap me? I was--- well, me! I was as interesting as a sack of potatoes! Hell, I still couldn’t fully wrap my head around what the hell Levi saw in me, but---“You can’t be that surprised,” Michael rolled his eyes at me, unable to believe how incredibly gullible I was. “This isn’t exactly the first time they’ve tried to kidnap you.”Ok, true!But that was because of Dylan, right? Levi said that--- Oh, wait! We never actually finished that conversation…“But-but---,” I stuttered, still trying to wrap my mind around it. “Why?!”“That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out for months now!” Michael groaned. “Why are you the target?”“I-I don’t---,” I began but
Dina’s POVIf I ever see a vampire again – In. My. LIFE! – It will be too soon!My vision was blurry from whatever they drugged me with, and my legs felt like jelly. Scratch that! My entire body felt like gelatin! My brain was woozy and even my wolf was acting like she was high on something. Nothing coherent came from her and I decided to block her out before she gave me a headache.I looked up and noticed I was in some sort of cell. It was dark; the only light coming from a small window on a door on the other side of the wall. I tried to get up, but my body was still sluggish and weak.Which was strange!I could feel my wolf, so why was my strength---? I tried to get up again, but with the same result. I then tried to mind-link Levi, but nothing! The only thing I managed to get was a howl from my wolf, who was acting like someone had lit her tail on fire. She was in pain one moment and
Levi's POVI blinked.“Tattoo?” I echoed in disbelief. Even my wolf was curious now. I’d seen her body naked and bare, and I’d never seen a single spot on her that indicated she had any kind of marking.“She has a tattoo on her back,” Rita continued, unphased by my skepticism. In fact, she was smirking, happy that she knew something that I didn’t: “One that can only be seen in moonlight--- some witchy shit! Scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it.” She shrugged. “She said it was a gift from her mother when she turned 12 and shifted for the first time.”12?!Normal wolves didn’t change until 14! Unless something traumatic happened and forced the wolf; like in my case.“Did something happen when she was 12?” I frowned, not really knowing what to do with this information. It said in her file that she shifted at 14.Was
Levi’s POVI’d been trying to get along with Rita, but all that effort seemed to have resulted in more reasons why I didn't like her. Sure, I knew, I didn’t have the gentlest temper around, but seriously! My anger was in the red zone the second she opened her mouth. She just had an attitude I couldn’t stand.And my wolf straight out hated her!He blamed her that we had to keep away from our mate for so long. If Dina’s scent wasn’t mixed in with hers, we wouldn’t have thought that Mick was seeing Dina.And YES!That was ridiculous, I knew that. But I couldn’t seem to move to pass it!We walked in an awkward silence back to the packhouse. Neither one of us could get there fast enough and, hopefully, Mick would join us soon. So far, he’d been acting as the middleman between us. Otherwise, I think I would have rejected her as my Beta Female already.I
Dina’s POVIt was so painfully obvious that Dylan was the culprit, that I almost felt embarrassed for myself. Who else had been an expert at sneaking in and out of the pack, without anyone noticing? He knew the routine, the shifts, the training… Everything! He knew this pack borders like the back of his hand. And if there was some sort of secret passageway to get in and out of the pack, I know he knew about it! I’d heard him brag about it more times than I cared to remember.And he was the one who helped the vampires and the rogues to get in and out.I couldn’t believe that my brother would sell out his pack like that. The “why” didn’t really matter to me. If there was money in it, it wasn’t below Dylan to sell out his own mother to get rich fast.Thank the goddess that they weren’t around to see what their son had become…My wolf was pissed!Our
