All Chapters of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

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 did not want to feel, and ways I did not expect to feel. It scared me. It intrigued me. But I wanted her, and was not about to let the damn girl go. I was not about to let Mari walk out of the door. Not now. Without even thinking, I had stopped her leaving and had her in my arms. She was pinned against the wall, and my lips were on hers.Time seemed to have frozen, and somewhere in that moment her clothes had been ripped hungrily from her body. Everything was happening so fast. With such a sense of urgency. And now Mari was within my arms, once again pinned against the wall in nothing but her lacy, black underwear. Her tongue teasing at mine, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

My whole body was dripping with sweat, and rippling with pleasure and exhileration. Being with Mari had been everything I had wanted and more. She had satisfied my every need, and left me hungry for more. Yet my mind was repulsed. Shocked. Terrified. Not at what had just happened between the two of us. No. I had enjoyed every damn moment of that. Hearing Mari begging my name had done things to me. Things I could not explain. Feeling her hands upon me had much the same effect. But, the final result had been, I was disgusted with myself. Or maybe more so, my wolf?As my body shuddered its release against hers, I wanted nothing more than to hold Mari as we were both breathless. Tell Mari how wonderful she had been. How much I had enjoyed it. That I wanted to do it all again. But something within me, or within my wolf had taken over. And that had ruined everything...I was all set for marking the damn girl. I know it had been a long time since I had done anything of this s

I have never felt so disgusted with myself in all of my life. But a small part of me stopped myself from hunting Mari down. The girl deserved better than me. I was broken. Admittedly, so was she, but she deserved someone who had the potential to heal those wounds, not add to them. Not make them worse. And, sadly, I was not sure whether that was me. I had to keep away. So, despite the twisting inside my gut, I continued to walk...As I stalked through my packhouse, ignoring every passer-by as I moved, my mind drifted to one person. Mari. Wondering hopelessly if she was okay. Wondering if she hated me. Guilt tore through me. Pain. Unease. But I had to do it. I had to keep away. I stormed into the office without so much as a word, earning raised brows from both of my friends. Yet neither one said so much as a word.I could sense the glances passing between them when I sat down at my desk. I had no doubt they were sharing conversations through our pack mindlink as I sat th

I walked through the hallway of the packhouse having left Mari to continue on with her walk. She seemed quietly content. Which is what we wanted for her when she came here. That and for her to be safe, of course, but, I hate the idea she is yet to know her father has returned home. Truth be told, I hate the thought of the many things we are being asked to keep from her. The refusal of Carter to even discuss anything to do with the girl has me puzzled.I have known the guy since we were small. And he has never acted like this. I know his senses have been out of whack since losing his mate, and the frustration that had brought upon him had confused him, but something else did not feel right, and it only seemed to have worsened.From that first day we met Mari, she seemed sweet. One of the good ones. And learning the shit she went through and then witnessing her hearing she had lost her fated mate before he had the chance to save her from the hell her life was… shi

I had no clue of what was happening. My peaceful walk through the forest had been abruptly brought to an end. A pack announcement had rung through the mindlink, and a sense of dread had torn through my body. Any plans to seek solace at the lake had quickly shifted. Those eyes that I sensed between the darkness of the trees had soon begun to close in upon me and I knew that I was in trouble…The moment the lock-down of the pack had been announced, I knew that the only chance of safety for me would be to return to the main areas of the pack, and I began my hasty retreat in that direction. At least there, there would be others. I was far from a strong wolf. Ruby was still relatively new to me, and as strong as she may be with the Beta blood that ran through her, I did not wish to find myself in any fights, least of all unsupported.My training was minimal. And, despite the additional training I had received since my arrival at Obsidian Storm Pack, I was far from confident within my own a
