Chapter 12HadleyI am joining a cult. . .Food.That’s how they get you. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know who made it and I really don’t know who cleared my plate. I am slouched back in my seat, holding my stomach, my mouth is slightly open and I am catching my breath while looking at the surprisingly nice ceiling.“Are you okay?” Alec’s mocking tone came. “It was just so amazing.” I hear Alec snicker along with a few other people around us. Did I talk that loud? I think I feel a little hot.I might have felt self-conscience at the amount of food I scoffed down but then I saw Alec and pretty much every other person here eat three times the amount I did. I can’t remember the last time I had a proper meal like this. Probably before Jess… I sigh heavily as the sound of ringing brings me back to the present. I watch Cain get up and head out to take a call. Perfect ass.“Is this everyone living in town?”“No, many are working. We try to have a dinner like this once every week, it al

Chapter 14 Cain My little human came into the dining hall in a dress that showed off her figure perfectly while leaving enough for the imagination. My wolf stirred in my mind, wanting to claim her as ours in front of everyone, warding off any unwanted suitors. The dress reached mid-thigh showing off the very fucking sensual look of her bare legs and feet in only stockings. An image of her slowly taking off her clothes and walking over to me crosses my mind, my wolf nods furiously in agreement at the sight. She had her hair up showing off her bare shoulder and neck. The spot where my mark would someday be. My wolf’s mouth salivates at the sight of her. Being without a mate for so long had proved more difficult than I had originally thought. Most wolves find their mate within the first two years of their 18th birthday. I however have waited seven years. My wolf’s sanity weaning by a tether. Madness has consumed us during the heat of battle before. Alec has received many blows shield

Chapter 16 Hadley Avery envelopes me in a hug. I feel overwhelming emotion running through me, but somehow the happiness overwhelms the need for tears to spill. Smiling would have been the way to go but my face rather resembles a deer in headlights. I don’t know what to say, my mind has always been a little overly busy, I can convince myself out of buying anything I actually need. But now it’s blank. Just nothing. I stare at Cain a good while too long and he smiles softly. “You once asked why I was healed, I told you earlier that I heal faster. That was not a lie, in fact, we all do. You have helped us twice now, you shared your secret with us and now I will tell you ours. Cain turns on his heel to leave my bedroom, he stands in the hall and folds his muscular arms over his chest. “Might want to grab something warm, we’ll be going outside.” I look to Avery and she gives a smile and nods at me before shooing everyone out, so I can grab something from the closet. I get dressed in t

Chapter 18Cain“I will try!”“You will not!” My wolf growls through my words, the thought of her in danger and being anywhere near those rogues, has my wolf pushing for control.“I am not letting you anywhere near them.”“Cain, this might prove useful. We have been searching no man’s land for weeks. We cannot find them. They have never worked in groups nor have the attacks been so frequent. They grow more confident after each successful raid. We are losing warriors.”Alec defends Hadley’s offer of help. I want to remind him who is Alpha but my wolf beams with pride at our Beta defending his Luna.I look to Hadley and her desire to be of help is clear. She has done enough at this point, but I need a reason to keep her with me.“Alpha, we have…there is a situation.” Border patrol calls out through the link.“What happened?”There is a long silence over the link, “Speak!”“It’s rather unique Alpha, I think it best if you see it for yourself.” I growl before standing, I am not fond of be

Chapter 20 Hadley Climbing up that slope I immediately recognised Zylith’s voice, she was my best and well truth be told, only friend. Getting to the top I see four large men looking down at her, the scar-face man was there as well, pinching the bridge of his nose, clearly annoyed. She is poking one of the towering men in the chest while giving him a piece of her mind, curse words used as punctuations. The men look on in bewilderment at her fearless verbal assault. The man receiving the poking has his hand up in almost surrender, they are all too scared to make a move or to touch her. The men looked surprised to hear me call to her and she pushes past them to hug me. I am overjoyed to see her, and so relieved that she was okay. “Thank you for finding her and keeping her safe,” I say looking at the four men. They seem surprised at my gratitude, and simply gave a nod of acknowledgement. They look up at the tall figure behind me and I know it’s Cain without looking, they share a si
