LOGIN“Oh, fuck.”Alaric says something, but I don’t hear the words. I can’t concentrate on anything beyond the pressure building inside me. Higher and tighter. My breathing turns ragged. The room seems to shrink around me until there’s nothing beyond sensation and the frantic beat of my heart.“Alaric…”
** Poppy’s POV **I’m heavy and weightless at the same time. My entire body relaxes in the best way as the heat finally eases. Alaric’s weight shifts on the bed, but I’m too blissed out to even open my eyes. The entire pack could march in right now, and I don’t think I’d be able to care. “You’re so
“Bas…”“I'm going.”Poppy moves slightly against me, and Bastian’s eyes flash again.His hand wraps around the door handle. But before he opens it, his gaze meets mine again. There's more in that look than I can unravel right now. Desire, struggle, and something dangerously close to fear.He’s not s
** Alaric’s POV **Goddess, help me.How can I say no to her? How can I ask her to wait when she feels this good? When she burns for me like this?Bastian and I had discussed how we would handle this, and at this point, the plan is FUBAR. The moment Leo said she was asking for us, we crumbled. And h

** Paige’s POV **The house falls quiet again.Parker is still upstairs with Jax, and Ryder is brooding silently at the kitchen island.“What happened out there?” I ask, sitting next to him.Ryder doesn’t answer right away. He lifts his gaze to meet mine, and then his eyes drift to my neck. I don’t
“Then when I’m ready, I’ll let you know.” I smile.“I’ll be ready,” he whispers, pressing a kiss to my temple. “No pressure, but just so we are clear, I am not even going to try to pretend I'm not insanely jealous that Remy mated with you."I know now that this is no longer a matter of ‘if’; it’s a
“Don’t worry. We’ll be back before you know it.”I watch him walk away. Feeling a pit of dread open in my stomach. Ryder is hurt, and I don’t know if he will be the only one injured. Why can’t the hunters just leave them alone? Why can’t they take a moment to understand that the people they hunt are
** Paige’s POV ** Parker kisses me again, this time with less hesitation. His hands find my waist, then slide down to my thighs as he lifts me effortlessly.
