Mick didn’t answer. He was still viciously glaring at Miles. I could feel the waves of hostility and defensiveness. He wasn’t going to let Miles near me, and really didn’t want him looking at me. I was getting worried about what this Alpha would do. “Mick,” I whispered, placing my hand on his tensed back. He twitched, then started to relax under my touch, the sparks traveling between us. “She’s mine, Miles,” Mick stated. “She doesn’t want an Alpha and I don’t want to share. If that’s going to be an issue, we will just leave.” “Oh, shit,” Billy muttered, looking between Mick and Miles, then his eyes landed on me, appraising me. He let out a low whistle, “So much for calling dibs.” Miles growled, showing the first signs of hostility, but it was aimed at Billy and not Mick. “Mickey, Rodger said she would be safest here,” Beau said. “We can’t just leave. This is where he’s expecting us to be. Cindy is heading this way tomorrow, and the others soon after.” “Who’s Cindy? Is she hot? D
Chloe POV“What was your username on Horny Fans?” Billy asked. “You know, just for reference. Gotta cover all our bases.”Mick and Miles growled at the same time, in complete unison. Mick narrowed his eyes at his brother and the Gamma, then squeezed my thigh possessively, making it tingle with delicious and poorly timed sparks. The more tense the room became, the more I craved to retreat somewhere with Mick, to hide from all this stress and de-stress together. That would have to wait until later, but I was still reacting to his touch.“I’m just kidding,” Billy held his hands in the air, a playful smirk on his face. “Just trying to lighten the mood.”The room had gotten so much more tense. More so than before when I was explaining how Cameron discovered where I went after I left Fire Moon Pack. I could feel the judgment being aimed at us. Not just me, but also towards Mick, and even Beau, Jamie and Boyd. We were selling sex at Broom StiXXX. Plain and simple. There was no way to dress t
Mick POVKeeping calm was no longer an option for me in regard to Boyd. I tried to keep my cool this entire fucking trip, even at his worse, because I knew Chloe didn’t want another possessive Alpha. When he called Chloe a slut though, that was it. I wasn’t going to play nice any more.“I can find the way out myself, Mickey-poo,” Boyd said, using the degrading nickname he knew I hated.“Just making sure you don’t lose your way,” I muttered, biding my time until we were outside. Fighting in the packhouse isn’t something I’m willing to do. Only the Alpha has the authority to fight in here, and I don’t want any claim over the Alpha title with my brother. Once this threat is gone, I plan on taking Chloe and leaving, making a life somewhere else far away from the brother I was never able to measure up to. I’m not losing her to my brother too. She’s my miracle. He’s an Alpha with a wolf and a pack. He can take a chosen. Chloe will be it for me. I don’t want anyone else. Ever.We got to the
Miles POVI had to touch her. The urge was getting out of control. Ivar was ready to throw me out of my seat and drag my body to her himself.Fuck, I felt murderous. Hearing about the shit she went through with her first mate, and the desperation I could hear in her voice to be free and never be tied to an Alpha again crushed my soul. Everything else became background noise. I heard everything, every detail, but all I could think about was getting my hands on this Alpha Cameron and inflicting every ounce of pain she must have felt back on him before taking his last breath.The more and more she talked, the more I saw her closing herself off. She wasn’t going to open up to me, and that made my rage towards her first mate grow so much more. I was ready to rip out of this room and find him before he could find her.I needed to touch her. Just one touch and I could calm all this rage inside of me. I was sure of it, and then I could think rationally again. When Mick left the room with the
“You may be able to protect me from just Cameron, but his entire pack is a different story. All the males in that pack are violent monsters. The Alphas and ranked members were always assholes, so all their underlings got away with everything.”“Hmph,” he huffed, burying his head in my chest.I laughed softly, combing my hands through his silky hair again. “It will be okay.”“No it won’t,” he mumbled against me.“Why not?” I was having a hard time keeping the humor out of my voice, seeing him act so childish. I never expected this kind of attitude from him. If he showed me this side to him sooner, I would have easily fallen for him even before the mate bond hit us.He sighed and lifted his head. “I don’t want to stay here. Miles always got everything. He got all the love of the pack and all our parents' affection too, all because I didn’t have a wolf. I don’t want him taking you from me too. You are the one thing I don’t think I could survive losing. Not after I made you mine.” He move
“Chloe,” a deep voice purred in my ear. “Mi ecciti.” His blue eyes were searing as they gazed at me. I groaned lustfully as his gruff voice whispered words I did not understand but couldn’t get enough of in my ear. “Sono pazzo di te.”My insides were throbbing, my pussy leaking with need. His words were coating my skin with excitement. I could feel them prickling the goosebumps on my skin.“Ti adoro, cara mia,” Mick pressed his lips to the sensitive flesh behind my other ear. “Sei il tesoro più prezioso che ho trovato e che vorrei custodire per sempre.”I was mewling, thrashing between both sets of warm bodies. Hands were caressing me; groping me. One set was holding me steady, kneading my breasts with sensual touches and the other was teasing my clit, rubbing slow, torturous circles over it. “I’m going to fuck you here, Chloe,” Mick husked, his voice like velvet. A hand was moving between my cheeks, his middle finger rimming my ass and making it pucker. “You’re going to melt as I st
Mick was quiet, quieter than ever while we showered. I tried to give him space, sensing his mood was more off than before and feeling guilty about my dream and the thoughts creeping into my mind about his brother, but he insisted I stay with him. I was still washing my hair, scrubbing all the slobber out of it as he stood under the water stream when he pulled me closer to him. I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch as he finished the job for me, rinsing my hair clean, then turning my body to face him.“You okay?” I asked, not knowing what else to say. I could sense his unease and his worry, but didn’t know where it was coming from. His grandma’s chaotic entrance into his bedroom? His return to his pack?.... Or was he sensing my wayward thoughts towards his brother?“Are you okay?” he turned the question around to me, softly stroking my face. “Are you ready to run for the hills after that? The offer still stands. We can still run away. Just you and me.”I smiled shyly. “Your nonna w
Miles POVThe atmosphere at the table was tense. Some of the warriors who had already eaten decided to slip out and the omegas who had been actively serving us made themselves scarce.Chloe and my brother were sitting as far from my parents as they could. Mick had wanted to flee. I saw the look on his face, just as Nonna and Chloe did. Nonna was able to make him listen and come in to eat. Chloe gripped his hands, whispering reassurances to him. I was thankful to her, because I didn’t want him leaving me and the pack. Not again. Not when there was so much left unsaid between us.My heartbeat would quicken every time Chloe looked at me. It happened often, and I noticed it was when Mick would tense up the most. It was like she was pleading with me for help to protect him or to fix something. I wanted to do something to ease this for my brother, but I know how badly my parents wanted to make up with him. I have seen the effects Mick’s absence and the guilt has played on our father’s heal
