[Rosalynd] “Well then,” I grabbed two big handfuls of Axel’s hair, bringing him closer to me. “What are we waiting for?” It takes him about 3 seconds to process what I just said before he grabs me and slams me into a tree, kissing me with the ferocity of a starving man devouring his first meal. The redwood bark is rough on my back as he presses us both into the trunk, his signature scent, like redwoods, warm honey, and home blending with the surrounding smells of wet earth and pine. Wrapping my legs around him, I hook my feet for stability as I begin to grind my hips into his groin his hand reaches up my t-shirt, grabbing my left breast as he squeezes it roughly, eliciting a yelp of excitement from my already swollen lips

[Axel] "Who is that girl!" Alexa is screaming at me as if she had a right to. She’s not my Luna anymore.  "How DARE she talk to my son. I saw her, I saw what she did. Are you sleeping with her, Axel?” It would be so easy to shut her up if I used my Alpha power on her, but after my display a couple of days ago, I’m afraid to let my anger get out just in case I do something I might regret. "What does it matter to you, Alexa," I snap back, folding my hands over my chest. “You’ve moved on, so can I.” “But Axel…” the whites of her eyes are turning red as she p

[Evander] The first part of our plan worked better than I expected. Gideon and I couldn’t tell Axel, because he would have most likely resisted what is good for him, but assuming I understand wolves and women as well as I do, Axel and Rosalynd will be well on their way to finalizing their mating bond by now. I left her so hot and bothered she’ll be eager to jump at that poor unsuspecting wolf. I am happy for them. I know that having Axel at her side is essential for her happiness and that to share her with the rest of us, Axel needs to feel secure in their bond. Now that we have that taken care of, we can focus on what is important. Usually, I am more patient than how I am behaving right now. I wouldn’t rush pieces into place, especially with someone so dear to me.

[Rosalynd] “Axel, what are you doing?!” I kick and squirm as he picks me up out of his truck, fireman style, leaning me over his back, my bottom raised in the air. “Carrying you inside,” he chortles. “Now stop wiggling or I’ll swat your bottom.” “You wouldn’t dare,” I growl. He smacks me. “Never dare an Alpha,” Willow laughs at me. “You think this is funny?”

[Axel] Kissing her sweetly, I set Rosalynd down on the edge of the bed. The sun is high, not quite evening, so we should have a couple more hours before the rest of the pack arrives.  Tonight, when we descend the stairs to join everyone, we will be a newly mated pair.  Despite all my big talk downstairs, my hands are shaking. I didn’t know I could feel so intensely until I met her.  Rosalynd leans back, breaking our kiss. She unbuttons her jeans and I help her slide out of them. She is completely bare from the waist down, not a scrap of fabric to hide her from me.
