Stella's POV
After my lunch with the boys I have Thomas take me to get some wine. We talk about Hannah and how she has enrolled in school. She has a lot of catching up to do.
By the time we pull up to the cottage it's about 3:30. I head to the couch and pull out my laptop thinking I might as well get my grad school applications out of the way.
I work on the applications for a few hours and decide to give it a rest my stomach starts to rumble again. I head to the fridge to see what I can whip up. Spaghetti with garlic bread and salad it is.
I stat cooking when I hear a knock at the door and it's Devin. "Hey, I wanted to apologize for my over reaction earlier, you guys were just having fun," he says. I give him a stern look then a smile "apology accepted," I say putting my hand out for him to shake it. He has rough hands whcih means he works hard. I do like a hard-working man I think to myself.
"I am making dinner and I am all by myself. Do you want to join me?" I ask. "No, I'm fine I don't wan tot intrude," he replies. "No, I insist." I say as I grab his arm and pull him in the door.
He walks into the kitchen with me and grabs the veggies and starts chopping. "Don't even try to protest." Devin smiles. When we are done, we have what looks like a nice three course meal. I ended up making brownies for dessert.
I sit down and pour us some wine. I sit there thinkiing how nervous I am, and I never get nervous. Then agian, I never see men this drop dead gorgeous.
After dinner we end up cleaning up and decide to have another glass out on the patio. "It is so gorgeous here," I say looking into the woods. Lightning bugs float all around giving us an amaziing light show. Heat lightning in the distance lights up the sky as well.
"Yeah, you don't see anything like this in Chicago," he adds. "No, you don't, it kind of makes me miss living in Maine," I say sadly. "Is that where you are from?" Devin asks. "Yeah, we moved to the Chicago suburbs when I was sixteen,"I say sadly. He dosn't ask anymore questions. We sit around drinking more wine as he tells me about the pack.
I start feeling the wine after a while. Devin gets up to leave and I walk him to the door. "I had a great time Stella," he says. "I did too." I smile at him.
I look into those gorgeous green eyes and immediately I am taken in by them. I look down at his amazingly chiseled chest and arms.
Fuck it! I decide to make the first move. I grab him by the shirt pull him to me and kiss him. This wine is giving me the nerve. At first, he is stunned but then starts kissing me back. Our mouths moving together perfectly.
He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him. He inches towards the couch. "No bedroom," I say. He does what I say. He lays me down on the bed and starts to unbutton my pants.
Devin's POV
When Stella kissed me, I was stuned, but I was happy that it happened. My wolf Derrick was excited that we were about to get some action. It has been a while.
When she tells me to take her to the bedroom I do just that. I lay her on the bed and take off her shorts. There is a sexy white lace thong underneath. I roll her on her back so that I can get a good look. I start kissing and sucking on each cheek. Stella moans and my cock gets even harder.
I feel like I might bust through my pants. I pull her shirt off to reveal a matching lace bra. I uclasp it and let her perfect perky breasts fall out. I put one in my mouth and suck hard while squeezing the other, she moans louder this time.
I slide her panties off. I kiss my way down to her perfect pussy. It tastes so good and it's so wet. I go down on her pleasure spot while using my fingers to push in and out.
"Devin" she moans. "I want you now," she says. I unbutton my pants and let myself fall out She looks at me in awe. "Wow that is big," she says. "Can you handle it?" I ask with a smirk. "Lay on the bed," she says biting her lip I kiss her again as I lay down.
Stella takes my girth in her handand swirls her toung the tip. Oh, wow that feels amazing. She sucks on e while moving her head up and down. I hold her hair back so I can see the full glory of this beautiful woman. She looks up a me. I almost come when she does that.
Suddenly my phone rings. "Don't you dare answer that"! She warns. "I have to it's Cole," I reply
"Alpha what's up?" I ask. "I need you to go to the eastern ridge there was a rogue attack tonight and I need you to check it out," Cole says.
"Sure, I will be there in about an hour," I reply. I start putting on my clothes while still on the phone. "Are you really leaving?" She looks really beautiful laying there naked and dumbfounded.
"Who is that?" Cole asks sounding annoyed. "It's Stella" I tell him. "Why are you hanging out with the witch?" he adds. "Why not?" I huff. Cole hangs up. I am a bit confused at his reaction.
"I have to go there has been a rogue attack," I reply. "Maybe I should come," she states. "No, no you stay here. We will pick this back up later," I kiss her and she lays back with a sigh.
Cole's POV Two of my most powerful warriors are dead. Their heads ripped from their chests and turned to black sludge. Witches, I can smell them. Their black magic symbols hang in the trees and the stench of their maagic is heavy in the air. "What do we do here Alpha?" My Gamma Bryan asks. "We need to figure out where these witches are and destroy them," I reply. Anger overcomes me and I let out a loud growl. I begin to pace back and forth trying to control my wolf Stephan." "Hopefully, the witch I have hired can help us find the and get rid of them" I said. "You hired a witch?" Bryan asks. "Yes, a very powerful one," I add. Bryan looks at me intrigued. "Alright boys load them up we need to take them back home to thier families." I am not ready to lie to another family about how their loved one died. I know it is what I have to do for now until we figure out what is truly going on. I am ready to be home and meet this witch. I call Devin
Cole's POV I reach my office and swing open the door. I am so angry I throw everything off my desk. I roar into the air so loud that I am sure the entire pack could hear me. Devin walks in. "Bro are you okay?" he asks. "No, I am not okay, this is not good." I reply as I start pacing the floor. "I don't want a mate damn it! She's the witch, isn't she?" I shout. Devin looks at me with an expression I have never seen him give me before and there is a sadness behind it. "Her name is Stella." I really did not like the way he said her name, there was something going on. I swore I saw a flash of something in his eyes. I move on. "I am supposed to marry Alpha Leo's daughter from Blood Moon and now I have a mate," I yell. My wolf Stefan growls, he does not like my tone when speaking about our mate. Truth be told I did not like my tone either. Pacing around like this makes me think about her more. Her soft skin and those beautiful pouty lips. Damn I want her ri
"Cole Anderson that is not cool. You shouldn't call your mate a witch even if she's not that nice," Elise scoffs. "No, Elise she's a witch like an actual power wielding witch!" I exclaim. Her eyes grow wide "Really!" She is shocked. Elise looks deep in thought. "I would still like to meet her. The Moon Goddess does not make mistakes Cole, she was meant for you," she says. "You also know I have always been interested in magic," she smirks. "Absolutley not"! I snap. Austin runs in soaking wet. "Why are you wet?" Austin replies nervously. "Well, I took her out back to the guest house. She tried to leave to go see Devin. When I tried to stop her, she used her powers to throw me in the pool." I run out the back door. Anger and jealousy are all I can feel, my mate wants to see Devin. That can never happen. I can smell her intoxicating scent coming from the direction of the woods. I catch up to her a couple of yards in. I grab her and slam her up against a t
"Give me your hand." She doesn't hesitate giving me her hand. "Close your eyes and clear your mind. Think of a bright light surrounding you," I say. I lay my hand on top of hers. A warmth radiates through my body. The crickets get louder, and electricity grows thick in the air. I close my eyes and search deep within her mind. "He has blonde hair and crystal blue eyes," I tell her. "I can see him" Elise squeals. Suddenly we are standing on a pier. Elise is holding my hand. It is foggy out and I can hear foghorns from boats in the distance. Water laps against the pier. "This has to be somewhere in the northeast." I say. Suddenly he is walking toward us and Elise's body jolts. "Sebastian"! Someone says behind him. A girl runs over to him and grabs his arm. Sebastian smiles at her. Elise Growls "Oh no! He has found someone." There is panic in her voice."Hey little sister!" Sebastian says. I feel Elise relax. "Are you ready for your alpha cer
Cole's POV The next morning, I wake up. I ask Austin and Jane another warrior to bring Stella to the meeting place. I donât want to be close to her. When Austin pulls up, she jumps out of the car. What is she wearing? She has on some tight black yoga pants that hug her ass so well and a tight white tank that shows some cleavage. She finished off with a pair of hiking boots and a backpack. I catch her beautiful scent and I have to turn away. I notice all the warriors staring at her. âWhoa who is that hottie?â one of my warriors Chad says. He starts to walk over to her. I throw my hand out to block him. âDonât even fucking think about it, sheâs not for you,â I say growling. âSorry Alpha,â he says shrinking away. I feel like I keep inching my way towards her. Devin pulls up with two more warriors. Things between us have been tense since yesterday. âDevin"! Stella calls as Devin starts towards us. âMINEâ I growl. I grab Stella by the arm and
Stellaâs POV The next day Elise, Austin and I are on our way to Chicago to go dress shopping. Cole had told Elise to buy whatever we wanted. I look at my phone. Tyler had been trying to call me for the past couple of days. I guess while I am in the city, I will rip off the Band-Aid and let him know it is over for good. Even though Cole has been ignoring me as much as humanly possible, I knew I could not keep doing this back and forth with Tyler. Why do I have to have these feelings and why do I have to be mated to Cole? Every time he touches me, I feel like I am on fire. We finally arrive in the city. I told Elise to pack an overnight bag just in case we decided to stay. She had told me that her brother was adamant that we return after shopping. We will see about that I thought when she told me. We go from store to store trying on dresses. Elise keeps trying on dresses that cover her up way too much. âElise let me pick out a few options for you are kind of making you
Cole’s POVI am furious. I have been trying everything to avoid this girl and here we are again. Now I am furiously driving her home. I had just been full on making out with her in a bar five minutes ago. Who was that guy and why did she say she was breaking up with him? “Who was that Stella?” I ask not looking at her. She hesitates “He was my boyfriend well not really my boyfriend we were on a break. I was breaking up with him for good. He on the other hand wanted me to move in with him,” she says as if it is nothing. I slam on breaks. “You have a boyfriend? For how long?” I shout. “Calm down. You could kill us…..two years,” she looks at me nervously. “Two years? And you are just telling me this now,” I say. I am so angry I want to go back and kick that guy’s ass. “We are over, so it doesn’t matter. Why do you care? You don’t want me for your mate!” she snaps. I sadness fil
Two Weeks LaterStella’s POVCole and I have been working together closely for the past two weeks finding the dark witches. We have captured six so far. They do not give us much though. They are known as bottom feeders, so they don’t know anything. I feel happy and at peace when I am with Cole and I know he feels the same. I wish things could be different between us. Any time I am not with him I am wondering what he’s doing, and I fantasize about him. I keep having these crazy vivid dreams about the two of us.
