Fucking mate bond. It’s got me so confused. Spend twenty-five years with one mindset of who I am. Then I meet André and everything changes. I know Cardinal thinks I’m focusing on the wrong thing. And that’s easy for him to say. I’m just still confused.
And the more I’m around André, the closer literally and metaphorically I get to him, the more confused I get. Part of me is drawn closer, the bond pulling me to him like a magnet. But there’s still part of me that can’t fully accept this sudden change.
I think space is probably the best thing. Then maybe I can reflect and really think this through. I’m an analytical person. I need to think things through. To analyze all the pros and cons.
‘Fuck pros and cons. I have your list. Pro of being with André, he’s our mate, and we get to be complete. Con of being with André, NONE. Pro of not being with André, NONE. Con of not being with André, we die slowly from heartache.’ Cardinal rolled his eyes.
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday. Did someone get past Alexander's team while they were more focused on the larger Madonie group? And someone, get a muzzle for Clement.
I folded my arms, standing at the end of Ivan’s bed glaring at the behemoth. “How did you get here? I mean, I know how they brought you. But what caused the need for you to be there? And why didn’t anyone tell me before they dared move you?” I growled my questions aloud. I didn’t like this. I didn’t like any of this, damn it. My head turned as the door opened, and my Zio and Alexander stepped inside. “Is someone watching Silvano? What was he doing at the patrol office this morning? What was he doing alone in this room when I arrived?” I questioned. Zio held both hands up. I guess my words and posture came off more aggressive than I meant. “Sorry, Zio. I’m not angry with you. I just don’t like this whole situation.” I apologized, frowning. “It’s alright. Your papa would be just as in my face if not worse, and I’ve been his best friend my whole life.” Zio assured me with a smile. I suppose that did offer me some relie
If you want a Delaney with a short temper and who will mouth off to an authority figure, you call Azriel. That’s never been me. I was never the one with a discipline problem. Cardinal and I have always been on the same page about that. We take things in stride and don’t lose our cool. I got pulled into this room just to have accusations thrown at me. Doubt cast upon not just me but my pack’s alliance with Incubi. Insinuations that I would leverage André’s attraction to me to betray him and his pack. To say I was pissed was probably an understatement. But what really riled me was Damon calling André’s judgment into question. To have Damon stand here talking about André as if he’s some child rather than the acting Alpha of this pack. ‘How fucking dare he disrespect our mate. Put him in his place!’ Cardinal was snarling in my mind. He wanted to take control, and for a brief moment, I let him, partially, when André gave me the approval
“Today proved that we need to improve our nonverbal communication with Incubi to succeed in this war. Tomorrow morning at sunrise, we will all report for training with the Incubi warriors. Training will be led by Alpha André, Beta Alexander, and Miss Zoe. I expect everyone to be on time and to behave themselves.” My eyes landed on Clement, narrowing. “If you step out of line, if you disrespect our hosts, you will be punished. You represent Bloodmoon. You represent our Alpha. So when considering an action, first ask yourself, would Alpha Logan kick my ass if I say/do this? If the answer is yes, don’t say it and don’t do it.” I warned. There were a few snickers, some nudging Clement, who grumbled. “You are all dismissed for the evening.” I have questions, and Collin’s going to answer them. “Collin, I want to speak with you privately.” I dismissed the warriors gesturing for Collin to follow me. Collin smiled and followed me without a word. Though tha
Darren standing up to Zio Damon and Alexander yesterday was hot. It took a lot of self-control to not go to Darren’s room and have my way with him. I honestly should be rewarded for my self-control. I’m serious. I don’t want some cookies. I want him, naked in my bed. But I managed to hold out, excited to see him for morning training. My mind was already set. He was going to be my sparring partner. I am all for getting to touch him, and Duilio is eager to get a better and more personal look at Darren’s wolf. Maybe a proper introduction to his mate. My eyes went to the doors as the Bloodmoon pack warriors walked in. They were in two straight militant lines. I should expect no less with my mate in charge of them. I smiled when I saw the ever adorable Isis walk in, positioned in line behind Darren and in front of Kurt. Lucky girl. Not a bad sandwich to be in the middle of. Not that I’m saying I want Kurt. He’s all hers. And he
It took him a moment, but he got to his feet, coughing up blood. I didn’t give him time to catch his breath. As soon as he seemed steady enough on his feet, I landed a roundhouse kick to his face sending him back down. This time he didn’t try to move. “Alexander, check him.” I nodded to the limp boy. Alexander hurried forward and checked for a pulse. “He’s unconscious but alive. He should be taken to the hospital. I think you broke some ribs with your first kick.” Alexander explained. Alexander motioned for two medical staff we always have on hand for training to come over and take Clement away. Once he was taken away, I relaxed my posture and smiled at the crowd. “Now then. As you can see, running your mouth gets you nowhere but the hospital. So moving f
I usually have better control than this. Since I was seventeen, I haven’t lost control over Cardinal, and he didn’t like the way Beta Wade, now Sub-Beta Wade, talked to a newly shifted she-wolf. If my brothers hadn’t been there to pull me, or rather Cardinal back, I’d have gotten a worse punishment. I got off light with a night in silver for disrespecting a Beta. I know Knox would have given me something worse if I’d actually fought Wade. André stopping Cardinal only saved Clement from dying at my hands. It actually put Clement in a worse fate as he was hauled off to fight André. Unlike back then, it wasn’t me who was being saved from a worse fate by someone else stopping Cardinal. ‘Little fucker is lucky he’s only going to the hospital and not the afterlife. How dare he speak that way about our mate.’ Cardinal was still grumbling as I watched Clement get carted away. My attention was quickly taken by André as he conf
“I’ll hold you to that, Tesoro Mio.” André smirked, licking his lips as he reluctantly got off my lap. Oh, that smirk should worry me. ‘It doesn’t worry me. I’m excited to see where this goes.’ Cardinal smiled. I rolled my eyes and got to my feet. “Is there any stash of clothes near here?” I questioned. I have no issues with being naked, but being naked and horny isn’t really a look I want people to see. “Yes, but I like you like this.” André teased, sashaying to the other side of the clearing. I rolled my eyes and followed him as he reached into the hollow of a tree and pulled out two pairs of shorts. “Here, if you must hide the view.” He sighed, pushing a pair of shorts into my chest. The moment the fabric was secure in my hands, André’s hand slid down my chest. Unlike last time I didn’t move fast enough, and his hand wrapped around my half-hard cock. “Next time we are alone, it will be uninterrupted, an
