Levi's POV
Her cheeks were once again bright pink, but even with the kitchen empty, she still wasn’t facing me. Her eyes were glued to the floor, seeming to try and look anywhere but at me. I let her have, whatever time she wanted. I didn’t mind just being with her. Alone. Her scent wrapped around us like a warm blanket and her wolf's aura - powerful, but submissive - was something my wolf very much enjoyed. Hell, if I could bottle the thing, I would be sleeping wrapped in nothing else.
I just wished she wasn’t so uncomfortable…
I didn't want her to fear me. I wanted her to---
Finally, she looked up. Her cheeks were a flaming red color, which made her emerald green eyes stand out. Her dark, raven-black hair looked like silk, and I ached to find out if it felt as smooth as it looked. I wanted to let my fingers glide through the strands, wrap them in my hand and force her head back to kiss me. I---

Dina’s POVASK HIM!!!My wolf was furious. She was moping, growling, and huffing around like a first-class bitch. If I didn’t know any better I’d say she was jealous! But no way was I going to open that can of worms. I gritted my teeth and forced myself to keep my eyes on the scenery outside the window. The alpha was a free man. He could do whomever he wanted! I wasn’t bothered by him having dumped me at his house for several days so he could hook up with his fuck-dolls.Nope!Not bothered at all...Yet, the image of that she-wolf across his lap, made my heart clench and I felt like I was about to have a heart attack. He'd been ignoring me for days now and I'd been worried, wondering if it was something I'd done. Well, after today, the message was pretty clear:He wanted me out of the way so he could fuck around.A hurt part of me wanted to
Dina's POV“Did I cockblock you?” I asked, feeling a little bolder this time. Which again earned me another chuckle from the alpha.“No,” he answered with a shake of his head, just as uninterested as he looked. “I'm honestly tired of random hookups. I just---” He paused, glancing at me once before turning his gaze back to the road. “Want something else, I think.”“So, you haven’t---?” I asked, only to realize that I had no idea how to finish that question. I wanted to ask if he'd slept with her. But then he looked at me, with his eyebrows slightly raised in question and a smug sort of tilt of his lips, and I suddenly remembered who I was trying to question. Mentally, I pitched myself, hoping to wake up from this nightmare.Shit!What was I doing?!“I mean---I-I…!” I tried to explain, but with my heart stuck in my throat I f
Dina's POVI gulped before I slowly turned around to face him. He didn't necessarily look pissed, but the "seriously?"-glare I got, had my lip automatically on pout mode. Seeing it, his eyes momentarily flashed black, before they returned to normal, and he stalked over to me, like a hunter having locked on his prey.“I didn’t mean to say that out loud,” I excused myself, and despite the alpha towering above me, I wasn't afraid of him. Levi Stone would never hurt me. I knew that as surely as I knew the moon and the stars in the skies...“I’m gonna make you pay for that,” the alpha promised in a low, dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine. Stupid alpha and his sexy voice!“You're not going to ask me to bake something are you?" I questioned while also teasing him a little bit. "I'd burn the house down.""I'm sure you would," he deadpanned, but the amused gleam in his eyes had turned t
Levi’s POVI laughed!Hell, I couldn’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. We were all seated on the now-trashed kitchen floor. In the middle was an electric grill, with white bread and sausages on it. Mick and I had a beer each, while Dina stuck to sparkly water. The extension cord was laid across the floor because Mick accidentally cut the power when he tore down one of the walls. We were all, head to toe, covered in dust and sweat and the house looked like a tornado had been through it.But I was happy...For one, I could finally really enjoy those stolen glances that Dina threw my way.Guilt-free!Dina wasn’t Mick’s girl and my wolf took full advantage of that. His every thought was about her. Even when she teased me about my red locks, he perked up and demanded that we spank her. At this point, any excuse to get her naked and ravish her. To get back at her, I took off my T-shirt wh
I didn’t give Mick much of a choice.I just attacked!“I’d taken on bigger bullies,” I muttered and gave a nonchalant shrug. It hadn’t been much of a fight either. I just gave my wolf control and let him do his thing. He got badly wounded, but he didn’t stop until the rogue wasn’t moving anymore.Once the rouge was dead, we'd turned to Mick. Demanding submission. He’d taken on the challenger. It was his right! Mick lowered his eyes and exposed his neck. And soon the pack followed.I was the alpha!And it suddenly hit me that I never really appreciated my wolf for the times he protected the people we loved. He never gave up in a fight. He was difficult to control, sure, but there was a reason for that. I’d just grown accustomed to always having to fight him, I had forgotten to appreciate his reason to fight…He protected us.All of us.“Shit!”Dina&r
Dian’s POVSometimes I hate my life!I frowned, walking in the cold night, cursing myself for having forgotten my jacket in Alpha Stone’s car. I’d been late for my study group, so by the time I got there, they were all pissed. Understandably. I would have been too, in their shoes. So I made my apology and after explaining things to them, we started working on the project. Not that explaining gave me any extra points. They were all werewolves and hearing that I'd spent the day whelping the alpha and beta, put a weird gloom on their expressions. But I chose to ignore it and instead focused on my homework.We finished about two hours later with the group agreeing that I should finish it. And despite my protests - because there was more than half the work left to do - they still decided to ignore me. And that’s when they decided to break out the drinks. Acknowledging defeat, I took a glass, sipping on it sourly. But
Dina's POVLess than a second later, there was a fist flying at my temple. I reacted more than put any conscious thought into it and let my wolf take over. I sidestepped the attacker, grasping his arm and using his own momentum against him, throwing him onto the street. He crashed into a fence that buckled under the impact.“Bitch,” the wolf growled, scrambling to his feet. I grinned. Well, I wasn’t my mother’s daughter for nothing. And considering my dad had been an Elite, they’d both made sure, I knew how to defend myself.I took a fighting stance, quickly sizing him up. He was big, but not very muscular. He sort of looked scrawny and underfed. As if someone had been mistreating him. And he smelled awful. Like sewage and rot! I'd never met anyone smelling this awful! I'd only ever heard one creature being described as smelling like this but----What the hell was a rogue doing here?!And how
Dina's POV“Levi Stone speaking.”Hearing his voice, sent a flood of relief throughout my body. so powerful and strong, I felt myself sag in relief. Unable to hold it back, a sob escaped my lips and I felt tears pressed against my eyelids.“Dina? What’s wrong?” he growled, and I realized that his voice was full of anger and concern. “Why are you crying?”I closed my eyes and forced myself to concentrate. To breathe and calm down, so I could tell him what had happened...“Alpha---,” I breathed, trying to get a hold of myself. But the second I heard him, my voice started trembling again. My throat closed and I couldn’t speak.Shit! How pathetic is this? I thought I was stronger than this…“Deep breaths, love,” Levi cooed to me over the phone, his voice kinder and gentler than I’d ever heard before. “Where are you? I&rsquo
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
