Chapter Two
(Wilder POV)
Her mouth wrapped around my cock has my eyes closing and a soft growl escaping my lips. Her movements are sloppy and seem inexperienced for someone who is the pack whore. I wrap my hand through her hair and help to guide her down feeling as I hit the back of her throat and she gags slightly. I lick my lips tasting the sweetness that still remains there from licking her pink pussy. Her pussy had felt so tight when I had slid a finger inside, I had thought about giving in and fucking her. The thought has me so close with just a few more thrusts I empty myself into her throat.
The sound of a painful scream has my eyes flying open. I am no longer in my room. I am in a dark dungeon. “Why?” The question comes out as a cry. The golden eyes filled with tears peer at me from over her shoulder before squeezing shut as the whip I hold lashes her back.
I sit up from my nightmare, sweat coating my body and my heart racing. I glance at the clock. It's 530am I barely got any rest. Elena and I got in just after 1 am and fell into bed. I would attempt to go back to sleep but I know it is useless. He slowly untangled himself from Elena and stepped into the bathroom to shower. As the warm water cascaded over me my mind won't quit replaying the nightmare.
'Maybe we should say sorry.'
'She tried to give us a potion and claimed to be our mate. I wasn't even 18 and neither was she. How did she think she could get away with that?'
'What we did though…'
'I know Zander, we had to play our part so Bug could save the pack.'
'She was part of the pack that needed saving.'
'She didn't have to lie and scheme.'
'I'm not saying you should trust her but maybe if you apologize we could learn her reason.'
'We heard she was power hungry. You know the reason.'
'I can't explain it Wilder but I think there's something missing. You can't deny you feel protective around her and her scent…'
'Her scent stirs bad memories and it's not protectiveness, it's fear of what she'll do.'
'If you say so…'
I feel Zander cut the link and decide it's time to get out. I throw on some sweats and run my fingers through my hair. I open the door standing there with her blond hair a mess, mascara smeared with a lil pout on her lips is Elena.
"I was hoping to join you."
"Sorry babe." I wrap my arms around her, lifting her up. Her legs wrap around my waist and I kiss her passionately. I feel myself hardening against her core and her arousal wafts to my nose. We only pull away when the sound of a glass breaking is heard from the kitchen. I sit Elena down sliding her body down mine. "Go shower, I'll make breakfast." I peck her again on her lips and give her a slap on the butt as she enters the bathroom.
I exit the bedroom and when I enter the kitchen I stop in my tracks as I see Spencer cleaning up a broken glass rubbing at her chest.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
She turns at the sound of my voice, sadness flashing in her eyes. "This has been where I am staying."
"Not anymore. This is my apartment. You can move down to the second floor."
"With the unmated warriors?" Her voice shows a hint of anger.
"Yes. You should be what you're used to. You should feel at home."
"At home where?" Trey's voice sounds from behind me.
" I guess I am moving to the second floor." She responses annoyed before pushing past me and walking to the room across from mine.
"Why is Spencer moving?"
"I'm sorry Trey but I can't trust her in my apartment."
He looks confused, "why not?"
I thought you knew but when I visited your old pack and you were on patrol she tried to use a potion and tell me I was her mate."
He sinks down onto the sofa with a look of shock."she said that? That you were her mate?" I nod in response. " Is that why when I returned you had left and she was in the dungeon?"
I cross my arms feeling justified. "Yes."
His face changes to one of fury and before I can think it was on my behalf he is in front of me and his fist connects with my face. I am caught off guard and stumble back. "Do you have any fucking idea what they did to her? The way I found her?" I am perplexed by his reaction.
"Enough Trey. I am fine." Trey turns around and I look past him at Spencer standing there eyes glossy with tears tugging at her sleeve with a stern look on her face.
Zander reminds me to apologize."Look Spencer." I walk and pour a cup of coffee, taking a sip and can't stop a moan of appreciation that leaves my lips. "I can't trust you after what you tried to do. But I am sorry for how bad the punishment was."
"Look Wilder save your half assed fucking apology it can't fix what you did to me. Also throw out that coffee you're drinking. I made it." She turns and leaves the apartment.
Fuck, I reluctantly pour the coffee down the drain. Really hating to have to do it, it was the best cup of coffee. "Look Alpha Wilder, out of respect for Spencer I am gonna keep my opinion to myself but I just want you to think what made you trust my old Alpha over Spencer? What made you think her character was below his? I'll go pack?"
"Pack?"
"Where Spencer goes I go."
I feel a weird uncomfortableness bubble within me at the thought of them together. "I didn't realize you two had something?" I struggle to keep the bitterness out of my voice.
"Something?"
"Yea I heard she tried to sleep her way to the top, I guess Beta wasn't enough. Sorry man."
He lets a humorless laugh out "you sound just like my uncle and cousin sounding better than everyone else." I growl at his disrespect. "You know as a Beta or future Beta it's hard going against your Alpha especially when their family. But I did it for my family, for Spencer. That young woman you shunned like a common nothing, she didn't need to sleep her way to the top. She was already there just treated as nothing. Spencer's my cousin, the late Alpha's daughter." He turns back to his room.
Alpha's daughter? How is it possible that Alpha has a hybrid daughter?
(Spencer POV)
I adjust my duffle bag on my arm as I pause on the landing to look out the window. Could I just leave? Walk into the forest and never turn back? My people were safe now, maybe it was possible to just forget it all. I didn't have my wolf yet. Maybe leaving him would be easier and eventually I wouldn’t even think of him, of who he is to me, or what he did to me.
“Spence, what are you doing?” Turning away from the window and notice Paxton climbing the stairs.
“Thinking about running away.” I state jokingly but truthfully nonetheless and find it hard to lie.
“You might want to wait for it to be dark. Less likely you will be seen. Also you might want to travel lighter.” He motions to my duffle bag.
“That is true. What are you doing here Paxton?”
“I came to say hey to Wilder and hopefully bump into you.” He walks up and bumps his shoulder into mine and I tense.
“Well your mission is half way accomplished. If you will excuse me I need to move.”
“Move?”
“Your Alpha has requested that I move down to the second floor.”
“Fuck that.” He grabs my bag and walks back toward the apartment, me following after him. He doesn’t knock, he just walks in. Wilder is sitting at the table with a she wolf sitting next to him, holding his hand eating an omelet. How long did I look out that window? “ Look Wilder, Spencer isn't moving to the second floor."
"Spencer? The Spencer?" The she wolf questions looking at Wilder. He gives a tight nod before her eyes turn to me in a glare. My hands clenched into fists.
"Well hello Paxton and she's not?"
"No, she's moving into my parents' cottage."
"Don't you live there?" Wilders voice comes out as a growl.
"I do and now so does Spencer. Go pack the rest of your stuff Spence." I turn and head in the direction of my room.
"Well that works out better. I would be uncomfortable with her in the pack house Wilder." I fight the urge to gag at her words.
I quickly begin to pack my things, texting Trey quickly. He responds stating he is coming with me but I shut down his suggestion. I hear the door across from mine shut and decide it's safe to exit. I am halfway down the hallway when I hear him speak "why are you insistent on this Pax?"
"She's important, Wilder. I am sorry if you can't see it." My heart warms at his words.
"I told you what she did! You're my best friend."
"Wilder, do you feel the bond with Elena? The sparks the draw to her? If not there's a reason."
"Yea we haven't had her ceremony yet."
"That shouldn't matter if you accept her. Now quit acting jealous over Spencer."
"I'm not." He growls out
"Whatever you say, quit sulking before Elena notices." Paxton chuckles.
I take this as my opportunity to enter the living room. "Pax, I'm ready. Thank you for this." I state as he grabs my bags and we head out of the apartment. I can feel my mates eyes on my back as we leave.
Chapter Three(Wilder POV)I swiftly put on my shorts as I take the steps to the porch of the pack house. I wipe the sweat from my forehead quickly before wrapping Elena in my arms when she exits the pack house. I breathe in her scents in hopes that it will calm me but I still have a sense of unease. I gently pull away and wince at the pain in my shoulder.“Are you hurt?”“I’m fine, I probably just pulled it while fighting.” I give Elena a quick kiss on the forehead before turning to look out into the crowd. My eyes begin searching the faces and I feel my unease continue to grow as I don’t find what I am looking for though I don’t know who that is.“Q
Chapter Four(Spencer POV)The tension in this hospital room is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Sylvia, Alpha Chris’ daughter has come to visit me. She helped to tutor me in math so I could graduate high school even if it was late and I had to go to summer school. She has become a friend and she came to bring me my diploma. She is usually chatty, like literally I wonder how she even breathes sometimes. However for the last 45 minutes she has sat on the couch in silence staring at her hands only looking up occasionally at Paxton who was pacing the room."Enough, I'm going to find that doctor and see when we can leave." Paxton declared before taking one last look at Sylvia before leaving the room.Sylvia continued looking at
Chapter Five (Wilder POV) I hate this feeling, it’s like I have no control over myself. My anxiety makes me ache to shift but I don’t allow myself to. For two days anytime I shift I would find myself at the edge of mine and Riverbend pack territory. I tell myself it is natural that I want to make sure someone that saved my pack members was okay but I can’t explain this empty feeling away. I was happy yesterday when Sylvia came to visit, I couldn’t wait for her to meet Elena. Like with everyone Elena made fast friends with Sylvia. I just watched them banter back and forth not talking about anything really with satisfaction. I truly love her and watching her happy always made me happy. I kept glancing down at her stomach, anxious to see it grow with my pup. However, that wasn’t t
Chapter Six (Olivia POV) I just lay Erik down when I begin to hear it, there is a calling in my mind almost like a mind link but it is faint. I gasp out at the voice that I hear. “What’s wrong darling?” Christian wraps his arms around my waist. “I think…I think I heard my grandma Lily.” “But I thought she died?” “She did.” I respond but then I hear it again, my grandmother's voice and a tear comes to my eye. ‘Go to her.’ “Maybe you’re just missing her.” “No, she says to go to her.” “Her?”
Chapter Seven (Spencer POV) “Freedom Pen, freedom.” The fight leaves me at Izaiah’s words in my ear. How could I have lost sight of the ultimate goal. I allow him to lead me toward the clearing in the woods. He sits down amongst the tall grass pulling me down to sit with him. “That was him wasn’t it?” I stop running my hands through the grass and look at Izaiah. “Yes.” “What happened Pen. He didn’t seem to recognize you as his mate which means he can’t have rejected you.” “He knows I’m not 18 yet.” “Does he know you’re his mate, does he know what you are?” “Know what I am, no, know that I am h
Chapter Eight (Wilder POV) Sitting next to Elena in her hospital bed an ache begins in my chest causing the worry for our unborn pup to grow. The bleeding has stopped, a nurse performed an ultrasound and we are just waiting on Dr. Alex to come in with the results of the tests and ultrasound. Zander starts to whine in my mind in pain and my anxiety increases. ‘What’s wrong? Is it the pup?’ ‘No not the pup. It’s something else. Something I can’t explain but it hurts.’ The ache in my chest increases as does Zander’s whimpering. I feel as he pulls back further into my mind and the whining lessens but not the ache in my chest. I look over to Elena and see the worry in her eyes. “Whatever happens
Chapter Nine(Elena POV)“Dear Goddess, she's half vampire Livie. What do we even know about Vampires let alone werewolf vampire hybrids.”“I’ve done my research have you?”“I was up most of the night. So far what I know isn’t good. Some High Lord of a clan of Vampires by the name Sanderson picked a fight with werewolves he couldn’t win, wanting to be the master of the supernatural world. It didn’t end well; now vampires are mostly extinct.”“So history that is all you learned so far?” Olivia lets out a laugh.“Well I do have a pack to run and a Luna ceremony in a couple of da
Chapter Ten(Wilder POV)The scent of blood has me jerking awake and I feel myself shift back to my human form. I look around in a daze and realize I am on Paxton’s porch. As I look around my eyes zero in at the source of the blood. Elena is lying unconscious on the ground, blood coming from her head. Spencer is approaching and about to reach her. A growl erupts from me in warning as I rush forward and shove Spencer as far away from Elena as I can, sending her flying about 10 feet into a tree trunk. She lays there unmoving as I pick up Elena and rush to the pack hospital. How could this happen, why was I even there?I got Elena to the hospital and they put her in a room. Dr. Alex arrives and begins to run some tests. I am really starting to hate this place. The doctor finally enters
