Masuk'In for a penny, in for a pound.' I thought. 'Might as well tell him.'
I bit my bottom lip harder. I sighed. "Yes, Arrik. I was taken by rogues, I had just met my fated mate, I wasn't of age yet. I mean, I knew him. We grew up together, we went to the same school, but we weren't friends, we didn't hang out with the same people. My birthday was less than two weeks away. My wolf had just surfaced, my mate had confessed he loved me, neither of us had said we were mates. I went running*Kane's POV*Blaze raged in my head. 'She is hurt! He hurt her! She is ours! No man should touch her and no one should hurt her!'I was torn. I wanted to go to her, to comfort her, to hold her close and ease her pain. I also wanted to shred Arrik for hurting her and Tim too while I was at it. I had heard her say to Denny to remove Tim and Arrik from her approved entry list. This meant the elevator would not open when they pressed the button unless they stopped at the front desk and called up to her residence for permission first. If she removed them, they had hurt her!There was pain evident in her voice as she called herself a cruel woman. I can't imagine her being cruel to anyone least of all Tim or Arrik from what I have seen between them. I stood there in the hall, in front of the elevators for what seemed an eternity. I realized if I walked down the hall and knocked on her door, she would most likely ignore me. I got back in the elevator and
I walked out of Arrik's house and slowly to my Bronco. I slid in and started my car. There were tears in my eyes but I refused to let them fall. I needed to be away from Arrik's before I mourned his loss. Kane was parked across the street and I knew he was going to follow me. I dialed Tim. "Hey Tim. I'm heading back to my new clinic in about an hour. Just enough time to run home and pack. Sorry to ditch out on you, but I just can't today." I took a deep breath."Cel, honey. You don't sound good. What's wrong?" I pulled over a couple of blocks from my condo. It wasn't smart for me to be driving while talking to Tim. Kane drove past me. "Long story. Short version, Arrik won't be in my life after today. I'm going to miss him a lot. But he's right and it's not fair of me. I'm a horrible person and I don't mean to be cruel, but I hurt people." "Cel, you are the best of people. Anyone that knows you knows how good you are." Tim said. "I'm heading to
'In for a penny, in for a pound.' I thought. 'Might as well tell him.' I bit my bottom lip harder. I sighed. "Yes, Arrik. I was taken by rogues, I had just met my fated mate, I wasn't of age yet. I mean, I knew him. We grew up together, we went to the same school, but we weren't friends, we didn't hang out with the same people. My birthday was less than two weeks away. My wolf had just surfaced, my mate had confessed he loved me, neither of us had said we were mates. I went running to clear my head, to think."I sighed again, remembering how chaotic my mind had been trying to figure out how I felt. "I was supposed to go on a picnic date with him that day. When I wasn't there when he arrived, he looked for me. He raised the alarm and started searching. The rogues had me for a few days, they beat me pretty severely. When they realized my pack was searching for me, they questioned me about why the pack would be mounting such a large search for me, an unranked girl. I
In preparation for Cel's arrival, I had Alpha ordered all my men out of the house. My time with Cel was rare these days and I wanted her attention all to myself! My men all loved her, respected her and if they were here, they'd want time with Cel too. I wouldn't share her today!I went in the kitchen and got out orange juice, cranberry juice and glasses. I mixed Cel's juice, I carried the glasses into the dining room. I returned to the kitchen, I grabbed plates and napkins and a jar of my Mom's extra spicy salsa. Cel was sitting at the dining room table. She was putting breakfast burritos on the serving plate I leave on the table. I could tell she had freshly made them and they were still piping hot. My Girlie is a great cook and baker and everything else too. Goddess! I love seeing Cel in my house. Aisling, one of my sisters, loves Cel too. Every time she calls, she asks, 'Have you sealed the deal?' And I have to laugh and say again, 'No, Cel is not mine.' It kills me. As the Alpha
Alpha Kane's POV*"You love him." I said. "You never said his name. Do you worry I would challenge him for you?""I don't say his name because if I do my wolf gets nasty about him. I don't want to hear her spew lies about him or his wolf. Her opinion is hers but I don't agree and I try to avoid feeding her hatred." Celia sighed. "If you knew his name, would you seek him out? Would you challenge him?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I didn't answer. Blaze said, 'Yes! We would challenge him. We would end him. We would clear the block and she would recognize us as her mate.'She smiled sadly. "You would. I don't need you to say it. I'd tell you to leave him alone, but you wouldn't listen to me. Please Kane, hear me. Even if he were dead. Even if he rejected me. I wouldn't choose to be with you, Kane. You will never have me, unless you force yourself on me." She closed her eyes and bit her lip before she continued, "And I will never forgive you if you touch me. Is that rea
*Kane's POV*Her scent was changing as she moved the cookies off the cookie sheets. Her delicious tangy citrus and rich honey scent now had the added edge of sweet, fresh berries and cinnamon. I wanted her! And now she was responding physically to me. Blaze encouraged me, 'She desires us! Her wolf is showing her we can take care of her needs! We can have her tonight.'I stood and moved around the counter. I was inches away from her when she finally turned to me. "Little Wolf." I said her nickname in a rough whisper. "Oh, Little Wolf, I can smell your arousal. Your scent is enough to drive a man crazy without the addition but with it... please Little Wolf. Let me pleasure you." I stepped closer. "Kane! NO!" She yelled at me as she moved back and hit the counter. I knew she could see my desire in my darkened eyes. Her mouth was saying no, but her body was saying yes! I stepped closer. I wanted to claim her! She was mi
My wolf was upset. While Carson and I had been kissing on the couch, Eckley had been trying to talk to her. She was saying, 'See this is what talking to the Luna did! Eckley can sense me now! He is trying to talk to me. He is whispering to me, 'Love mate. Protect mate.' Ugh! Gross!'Were you scream
I woke up drenched in sweat. My body felt like it was burning from the inside out. I thought I had the flu last night when I laid down, but this is not the flu. This is madness. My breasts are tender to touch, my core is throbbing as if it has its own heartbeat. What is happening? I feel hungry,
After class, I started to head to the cafeteria. Carson called my name and I turned. He waited as a couple of students scooted around me. "Celia. I overheard Jax say he wouldn't mind going to the lake with you. Did you tell your Dad about this morning?" "Yes, Carson. I told my Dad and he is worrie
Jax towered over both of us. Three months ago, he had a massive growth spurt right before his wolf came. Jax said, "Would you even hear it if she said no before? You talk so fucking much." He reached out and pulled Ang's ponytail lightly. "Hey, hands off sasquatch!" Ang said loudly as she rounded
