(ELYN) I looked around elder Elizabeth's cottage, noticing the paraphernalia around. Glasses. Beakers. Pipettes. "You made your alcohol?" I asked, quite surprised by the fact. She gave me a big smile and nodded. "A small hobby. Here, have this bottle. It is Ale. The best one I made yet." She handed me a big bottle. That small act of kindness moved me. I had never received kindness from anyone, let alone a stranger, who was also a Lycan. "Thank you and good night, Elder Elizabeth. I will come meet you whenever I can," I whispered. She gave me a wrinkled smile so full of kindness and opened the door for me. "Bye, girl from nowhere." "I like it that way," I said as I walked out, motioning her to close the door. I hugged myself as I walked back towards the pack house. The night had become darker, and there was a strange stillness in the air. I leaned against the big cherry tree, and the scent of the flowers filled the surrounding air. I sighed. I could still hear voices coming from i
(ELYN) "Food can't help me with my hunger. You know that, don't you?" I looked down at him. I saw the fire burning in his eyes. I knew he wanted what I wanted, but he persisted. He had more willpower than I ever had, and that was such a shame. I stared at him, my mind made up. I had been playing this game for two weeks now with him. The ball was literally in his court now. But I didn't want to back down. I had never liked losing. I loved winning my games. This was a game, and my prize was just underneath that dented pants. If this was a poker game, Ares would surely lose. All his cards were open for me to see. To feel. His erection was softly pressed up against my thigh as his eyes trailed up my body, searching. "No strings, Alpha." I crawled away from him and stood up, and as soon as my body was away from him, I felt the chill in my blood. It was as if he was my personal campfire in wolf skin or something. "It is your game now. Your rules." I raised my hands and his eyes were glu
(ELYN) "The game isn't over yet. It will be fucking over when I say it is over," I growled closer to his ears as he tried to unlatch my arms from around his neck. I held on to him, stronger than before, as he tried to buck me off like a fucking horse. "Do not act like a child. I have enough problems as it is." "You have enough problems that you wanted to add one more problem on your list by kidnapping a woman. A future Alpha at that?" "If they had kidnapped the right woman, I think my life would have been easier. You are crazy, you are unpredictable and I didn't have time to-" He twisted around until I fell to the ground with a thud. I groaned as my butt made contact with the cold floor. I glared up at him and he looked like he was trying so hard not to laugh, a palm pressed against his mouth. But his eyes gave it all away. "To what?" I growled out. "And do not laugh. If you laugh, I will punch your teeth in," I said with a vicious glare in his direction. "To help you with whate
(ELYN) Elyn was too close to me. Too close, I could almost feel the lines of her body. Lines I couldn't forget. She was fully clothed now in a long-sleeved shirt and a rough leather pants, but I could almost feel her nakedness, her warmth along my body. "I wanted to Kill you, kiss you... do other things... but now... well, not really!" I jerked back with a frown. I never knew what to expect from this woman. I also hated the way she had been laughing with Everett when I first saw them talking with each other, from inside the trees. They looked cozy, and it sent ripples of anger inside me. Everett was my good friend next to Kai, and I was not a jealous man, not much, but I realized she was waking up the sides of me I hadn't known existed. "Well, she is waking up all the sides of us, and here you are... if I can put you to sleep-" "I know you will gladly do it and take her, Storm," I said with a frown before I turned to my guys. I narrowed my eyes at William... he was one of t
(ELYN) The sun was warm on my skin, and the breeze was toasty. I could feel Ares's look on my back, piercing me as I walked away. He was almost burning holes in my fucking head, and I had an itch to turn back and show my middle finger, but I didn't. My legs felt weak. I didn't want to go. I knew that there were even cruel, terrible things outside the Turquoise Falls and that was why I stayed there. Because... I knew. I had tried walking away from Turquoise Falls once, and it didn't go as planned. If it wasn't for one brutish, hot-tempered stranger, I would have long been dead. My heart burned and my eyes, too, and I didn't know why I was so angry, or why I felt like stomping through the woods, but I did. As I walked further into the woods, I took in a deep breath, trying so hard not to scream or sob or march back and rip Ares's throat out. "Stop thinking too much about that idiot," I thought to myself as I walked further inside the waiting arms of trees, until I was surrounded
(ARES) I should feel happy. She was finally gone. This was what I had wanted the moment I realized she wasn't the woman I wanted, she wasn't my revenge, and yet here I was... staring straight into the woods where she had disappeared into a few hours ago, my heart twisting in confusion and panic. My stomach was made of tight knots that just wouldn't unknot. It wasn't like we were around each other every minute of every day. In fact, I had tried to avoid her most of the time. But now knowing she wouldn't be there stuffing her face with whatever Carella had made... or watching Dragons making love in the TV like she owned the whole pack house... it didn't feel right. Nothing did. It felt like someone was sitting in my stomach, digging a big pit. I poured a glass of Wolven bourbon and took a swig, and winced when the hot liquid burned my throat. Warm wind messed my hair. I had things to do. I had to pay the vendors, put in the order for new weapons, calculate the budget for next month.
(ELYN) Dorrian grabbed me by my hair and dragged me deep into the alley. I dug my heels in and tried to shake him off, but he was like a fucking bull. I felt like my hair would come right off my skull. It stung and my eyes watered involuntarily from the pain. The pain was unbearable... but it was the fear... I knew this alley was rarely used, and for the first time since this psycho pressed his knife against my throat, I was truly scared. The first time was luck. I didn't think I would have the same luck now. Especially now that he had vengeance in his eyes. It had been three years, and why did he have to find me right now, right when I was alone? Was this some kind of sick fate? Fuck me for getting into this situation. I should have kept my mouth shut and stayed in Ares' pack. I mean, I knew for all his bark, he would never bite. "Stop resisting, you fucking bitch, you are not going anywhere, and no one is coming to save you," the bastard growled out as he shook my head, my hair
(ARES) She sat there for a long time, staring at Storm, her hand pressed against his fur, in the surrounding silence. He was content just sitting there with her. "I want to shift," I said to Storm. Usually, the shift worked perfectly well when Storm and I were in perfect sync, but when the wolf didn't want to shift... it was usually a big problem. "I think I would like to be here with her. She is already shaken, and I don't want you to mess it up anymore than it already is. So I think I will stay with her for a while," Storm said with a sigh as she ran her fingers through his fur, still shuddering. I could feel her body shaking. She had stopped crying, but she wasn't fully alright yet. "I am not an asshole. I will not talk about that right now, at least not when she looks like she eats wolves like us for breakfast," I said with a wince. She had long red, bloody lines along her cheek, and I remembered the time I called her powerless. This woman here was not powerless. She looked p
