My body tensed with fury. My eyes meet those of my friends. The Alpha here had a fucking nerve. He wanted this business deal completed, yet he planned to keep us waiting? The expression within the eyes of my friends told me all I needed to know. They felt the same. He was trying to imply he was the one in charge. He would soon realize just how wrong he was with that...

Having Hudson jump to the defense of the feeble one again irritated me. But, that was just who he was. Protective. Always has been. And, in recent years, he was the one stepping in to correct my mistakes when my temper got the better of me after losing my mate. It got us out of a few sticky situations, I have to say...

"Alpha decided to give you rooms within the packhouse, then you are close to the offices, and to the dining hall should you need food." Mari explained.

"Near the dining hall is always good." Sonny joked. "Is the food good?"

Mari chuckled lightly, making me turn to look at her. I watched as her face lighte

  • Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?   Chapter 117 - Carter

    A couple of days of me caring for Mari have passed. Would it be strange for me to say they seemed to have flown by? Other than a few awkward moments, I think the time had been easy. Comfortable. Even pleasurable. Shocking not only her, but me too. And, more importantly, I could see the strength returning within her and her wolf. Not only her wolf, but my own too. Within the first day of Mari’s stay alone, I realized that Draven seemed to gain a strength from being around the seemingly vulnerable she-wolf that came crashing into my life. A strength that I still cannot understand…Only as I continued to get to know Mari did I also come to realize that she is not quite as vulnerable as I first thought. The girl has so much hidden strength. Along with many hidden qualities. Spending this time alone with her has perhaps given me the chance to see that I had been far too quick in judging her. Yes, she had been a victim to far much more than she ever should have been, b

    “Alpha!” I groaned from my place on the bathroom counter top, my head falling backward, resisting the urge to grip at Alpha Carter's hair, and gripped at the sides of the counter instead. I wiggled a little at the sensation coursing through me, moaning out once more at his touch. The coldness of the countertop was a startling contrast to the heat rushing through my body. It was not a place I should find myself sitting, I didn't think. Nor a place I expected to find myself with my new Alpha, I had to admit. Things had become far weirder than I could ever have expected them to.Alha Carter chuckled, like he found my discomfort amusing. “Just sit still, Mari.” He mumbled, while running the first aid wipe he had over the area, making me wince again. I swear the fucker was trying to make me cry. "You make it worse my moving."“That hurts!” I hissed.“Yeah?”“Nooo…” I snarled sarcastically. &ldq

    Mari smiled at me again. That same gentle smile. “I said it is okay.” She whispered, resting her head upon my shoulder. “Just forget about it. If I am staying, we don’t need you feeling uncomfortable.”I faltered at her words. The fact she spoke up clearly meant she had sensed my unease once more and believed I was feeling uncomfortable because of me kissing her. I sighed. Maybe it was better for her to believe that than know the truth right now. She held so much hope her pack would put right the wrongs they had allowed to happen. Knowing what was happening would only make things worse for her...I nodded. “I’ll try.”She moved her head so it was right next to my face, and she was near staring at me. “No. You won’t try, you will do!” She hissed playfully, and that, combined with the creepy-ass staring she was doing, made me laugh.“Okay, okay. Don’t want you going all psycho on

    Shit. I kissed her. I fucking kissed Mari. A moment of madness came over me and I kissed the damn girl! Only as she seemed to move into the kiss did I snap back to reality and edge away, realizing just what I had done. I was trying desperately to avoid thinking of the fact that she had appeared to respond to my kiss. That was a whole other matter, and one I could not afford to process right now...But, instead, Mari and I were looking at one another awkwardly, as I stuttered at her. “Erm… I am sorry… I…” But the words I needed to find were lost somewhere between my brain and my mouth. All normal functionality seemed to have failed me, while Draven chuckled within my mind. I swear my damn wolf was out to terrorize me today. I would not be surprised if it was him that somehow forced me to kiss her…‘Nope, that was all you buddy.’ Draven chuckled again, clearly enjoying my discomfort.I shifted uncomfortably where

    I could sense a slightly different aura, I suppose you could say from Alpha Carter at my words. He seemed more calm. Gentler almost. There appeared to be almost tenderness within his eyes. Was that even possible for a man with no heart?Ruby giggled. ‘I think you are a little harsh on the man. He has a heart. It is just shattered. Into so many pieces, it may be irreparable. A little like a near impossible jigsaw…’ She began.‘The kind you do and then realize there was a piece missing all along?’ I offered, trying to understand what my wolf meant.Ruby giggled again. ‘Oh, so you are planning on doing him?’‘Ruby!’ I admonished, not expecting my wolf to twist my words that way. She was so bad!It was only as I felt color rush to my cheek, that I felt the curious gaze of Alpha Carter, or potentially even his wolf if he continued to linger, still focused upon me. I swallowed heavily, quickly turnin

    I paced the kitchen as I brewed the fresh coffee. My mind was awash with thoughts of the conversation I had just had with Mari. Of the sight of seeing her having a nightmare, and how vulnerable she looked. And, the worst thing of all... the feeling of longing as I released her from my embrace. The sense of loss as I craved the heat of her body against mine. Draven was once more pushed forward. His presence looming beneath my skin, though this time not in panic. He was curious about my reaction to how I felt. Though, truthfully, so was I…I did all that I could to focus on the task in hand, moving the mugs from the mug tree to the counterside. While desperately attempting to fill my mind with other thoughts. "Emails. Training. Discuss updates with Eldermoon pack. Call my parents. Speak to Hudson about how the pack is running..." I began to list the things I planned to do in the coming days, but thoughts of Mari continued to break through, and I released a heavy, frustra
