LOGINIn 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
Absentmindedly, I started humming a song and stopped as I recognized the song. No, not that one. Not tonight. I finished the scrambled eggs and turned off the burner. I checked the timer. I pulled out trivets for the skillets. I pulled out cooling racks for the cookies. "Are you done hurting me, Kane?" I asked. I set the skillet with the eggs on the large trivet and moved the skillet with the sausages to the small trivet. "What?" He looked shocked. I repeated my question. "Are you done hurting me?" He shook his head. "Little Wolf, it was never my intention to hurt you. I..."I raised my hand, "Intentions don't always align with outcomes. Your intentions don't matter. You made me think about my past, you fed my wolf more information for her to hurt me, you made me sad and lonely tonight. You forced me to make my friend leave, when he would have given me comfort without expecting anything from me." I paused. "You hurt me Kane."
I took Tim's hand. I wanted to show Kane that he didn't scare me. I worried that he would go after Tim. He followed us to the elevator. "No Kane." I said it softly. "Do not follow us. You can wait here. I will be back after I see Tim to the lobby." "Celia..." Kane started. I held up my hand. "Stop Kane. You are making my friend leave my home. I will see him to the lobby and then return. You will not follow us into the elevator, you will not follow Tim. You will promise me that you and your people will not touch him." Kane held up his hands. "Celia, I promise no harm will come to your friend." I nodded. Tim squeezed my hand. The elevator doors opened. Tim and I stepped in. As the doors started to close Tim said, "Cel, I'm worried about you being alone with him." Kane growled and I glared at him until the doors cut off the view of his face. "I'll be fine, Tim. He won't hurt me. He wants to...ow
Kane looked at Cel like she was a delicacy that he had never been allowed to try and he wanted nothing more than to have a taste. I understand the appeal, Cel is smart, witty, friendly, sweet and fierce. She takes care of everyone around her. She doesn't let anyone truly take care of her. It's taken me years to get to the point where she completly drops her guard when we are alone. I know she will never be mine and I've accepted that. I'm glad to have what she offers, a friendship that is strong and a little flirty. At this point, even if I won the pool game, I wouldn't hold her to the stakes. It's just something to tease her about now.Kane being in the lobby hit her hard, I saw her hands shaking. She wasn't scared of him, but she was more on edge than I had seen in a long time. Not since the two guys showed up from her hometown during our Senior year of college. They weren't aggressive, but they did demand she at least speak to them. They promised her they wouldn't tell anyone back
Thankfully, the prison transport went smoothly. Eve's solution kept the men groggy and passive. Their wolves suppressed. None of these six had willpower to do anything. As soon as we landed, the prisoners were moved to three waiting vehicles. I had elite Red Dawn Warriors in each vehicle. There wo
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
