MasukHours had passed, and the business deal was more than well underway. Having sat in the smaller conference room we had been assigned, papers were passed out, and plans made, I realized it did not need me and both of my friends to attend. Yet I had not trusted myself to travel alone. And Alpha Aaron had been adamant he wanted to work with me. But, he was doing very little as he sat in his seat, spending the greater amount of his time looking at his phone. I could not help but wonder what the ne
The moment Mari and I walked through the packhouse doors, we were met with the irritating, amused faces of Sonny and Hudson, both of whom were grinning. “Late again I see...” Sonny offered with a wink.Color flooded Mari’s face, but I knew the moment of lust-filled madness upon the staircase was not something she had regretted. Not in the slightest. The girl was not wearing panties. Just as I had suggested. And as she parted her legs enough for me to see that I knew we were not leaving the house.I shrugged. “I am the boss, so sack me.” I gave them a grin, hooking Mari’s hand through my own, loving the expression upon my friend’s faces. ‘I think I may need a round two...’ I told my mate through the mindlink, and her eyes darted to meet mine, a hint of surprise there, but a flicker of anticipation. This girl was the best... In the six months since making her my mate, she and I had truly come to know one another, in more ways than one. And, we were loving every moment...“I will just ge
6 months later... I stood, leaning upon the doorway of the bathroom as my eyes drifted over the man in front of me. His eyes were lingering upon his reflection within the mirror, though I did not think they rested upon his handsome face nor his perfect body as mine did, they fixed upon his matemark as they so often did, a smile teasing at the corner of his lips. A proud smile that seemed to symbolize the shock I had ever marked him, yet a sheer exhilaration that we were mates now...“See something you like?” Carter’s deep voice disturbed my peaceful and pretty damn perfect view, but his words made me giggle. I didn't doubt that he would have known that I was there. We always walked through the pack to work together, and I may occasionally slip in the opportunity when it arose to perve upon the man I was now blessed to call my mate... I mean, he was like a god in werewolf form, who wouldn't? Not me, that was for sure!I could feel his eyes upon me now. An amused smile upon his lips. I
I had marked Mari. The world had not ended. She had offered me her neck, and I had marked her. It felt like fireworks erupting around me. Within my mind. I felt feelings I cannot describe. But, I felt whole again. Complete. And Draven? Well, he felt like he had never left me...I sighed the heaviest of sighs. A sigh that felt like it had been weighing me down forever. The weight of the world felt like it had been lifted from my shoulders. “Are you okay?” Mari whispered gently, realizing the significance of what had just occurred between us. I smiled. That had to be the easiest of questions to answer. I responded by nodding.“I thought you regretted it.” She muttered, her voice barely audible. "I thought you wished you walked away like you did the first time..." Her voice seemed to flatter at those words, and my heart twisted. Ached. She should never have been made to feel that way.I tugged her closer to me. The two of us were still naked, and laid upon the bed. How could she ever thi
We were here again. Mari was beneath me, her hair surrounding her head upon the bed like a disheveled halo. A halo of darkness. My fallen angel perhaps... all innocence and sweetness to everyone else, but for me, she was anything but...I was fine with that. I liked this side of Mari being just for me. I liked knowing that she was mine. So, the instant that she nodded, I needed no further signal, and I eased myself inside of her. Her wetness enveloping my length with every small thrust I took to allow her to adjust to me. I had thought of this moment since that first night. Imagining it... reliving what had passed between us... wishing it would happen again... but nothing matched up to the reality. Nothing matched up to Mari. She was perfect...I surrendered to the girl. Allowing my body to be exactly what she needed it to be. Her hand gripped into my hair, snapping me back to reality as I became lost in thoughts of her. Thoughts of us...Looking down to her, Mari looked back up at me
In a movement worthy of a romance film, Carter took me in his arms and with no more words he had carried me up the stairs. I could feel his heart pounding against me as he did. And with one easy movement, his boot had kicked open one of the many doors that we had passed, before walking into a cozy-looking bedroom.“Our new hideaway...” Carter's voice was rough and full of emotion, making my heart pound within my chest more than it had. My body buzzed with anticipation for him, as my eyes darted around the room, I could already smell the scent of furniture polish and freshly laundered bedding within the room, and now added to it was the heavy scent of arousal...I tried not to smile. This moment had been a long time coming since our first night together. And Carter had wanted to ensure this time was special. And he chose to bring me here. His home. It seemed while Carter may not still live within his home, he still ensured it was well taken care of.In a gentle movement, Carter laid me
I sat upon the edge of the bath watching the water cascading into the tub. The bubbles I had added increased with the ever flowing water, but rather than focus on the luxury of being able to relax with her, my mind drifted to Mari and the way she had been acting. She looked on edge again, and that was the last thing I had wanted. I had wanted her to return here and be happy. Something had gone wrong somewhere...I heard the padding of her feet as she approached, and I turned to look in her direction. She was still dressed, her hair twisted up upon her head in a loose bun. Her eyes were continuing to display that same uncertainty that I had noticed earlier. “You don't want to be here?” I found myself asking with my heart twisting at what I would do if she were to say no.Mari's brow raised as if pondering my question. “With you?” She asked. “At the pack? In the Alpha suite?” She threw questions at me yet never provided the answers. Dr
Dealing with my father being back in the pack was becoming tiresome. He may not be free to do as he pleased, but he was still as much in my head as if he had been. His mere presence was enough to bring me down. And his constant demands to see me were slowly driving me insane…He believed he could i
Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. The werewolf Council had descended upon our pack and all hell had broken loose. On top of that, we had learned that there had been a rogue attack upon Obsidian Storm Pack, and Mari had been wounded within the attack. That fucking Alpha had gone against his wo
Draven’s feet came to a skidding halt next to the fallen body of Mari. I was only able to see through his eyes, but I needed to be able to check her over and was unable to do so in his form. The agony coursing through me as I witnessed him nudging her desperately with his nose in a bid to s
Passion had taken over. There was no other explanation for it. Passion and the need for her. I had sworn after losing Gabrielle that I would be alone forever. That I would never want another. But, there was something about this she-wolf that called to me, and god-damn, did she call to me. In ways I
