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
Leo rolls away from me. The loss of his body against mine is immediate and horrible.“Where are you going?”“To get them.”“No. Don't leave.”He stops.Damn it. I screw my eyes shut and clench my fists. This is ridiculous.“Sorry,” I breathe. “This is so confusing. ”“Don't apologise,” Leo says soft

** Ryder’s POV ** I still feel like this is all some crazy dream. Maybe I hit my head, and I’m in a coma, and any minute now I’m going to wake up. It doesn’t feel real, sitting on my couch, Xbox controller in hand, my son beside me. My son. A living, breathing little person who looks like me and s
“Sh*t,” I hear Callen breathe as I storm off towards my house. When I get home, I slam the door closed and lock it behind me. With my back pressed to the door, I slide to the floor, finally allowing myself to break. Fat tears roll down my face as the last bits of hope for Ryder leave my body.
