All Chapters of The Wolves Howls Of Sin: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ODESSA:I'm pacing in my bedroom when I hear the shouting start downstairs. Damon has been back barely six hours and the pack has already been turned upside down.At first I try to ignore it because I don't have the energy to deal with pack politics right now, I'm still reeling from the day's events, but then I hear Damon's voice rise louder over the others and my hands ball into fists.How dare he come out of nowhere, after being gone for years and immediately start acting like he owns the place.I move closer to the door and crack it open slightly so I can hear what they're saying better. Their voices are coming from outside, probably on the front lawn where the elders usually hold important discussions. I can make out Elder Thomas's voice and Elder Margaret's, and they're both arguing with Damon about something but I can't quite hear what they're saying over each other."This is not how we do things," Elder Thomas says loudly, his voice strained, he sounds exhausted and I don't b

ODESSA:I'm running through the forest, and I can hear Kade laughing somewhere ahead of me, his voice echoes through the trees. The sun is warm on my skin, and everything feels perfect and light and happy in a way that I haven't felt in so long."You can't catch me!" he calls out, and I can hear the teasing in his voice."That's what you think!" I shout back, pushing myself to run faster.I break through the tree line and suddenly we're at the lake, the one where Kade first told me he loved me. He's already in the water, swimming lazily on his back with a huge grin on his face. His dark hair is wet and plastered to his forehead, and he looks so young and carefree that my heart aches."Come on, the water's perfect," he says, splashing at me playfully.I don't hesitate, running straight into the lake until I'm deep enough to swim over to him. He catches me around the waist and pulls me close, both of us laughing as we swim together. "I love you," he says softly, brushing wet hair back

I sit up straighter, my heart racing as I watch his face. His eyelids flutter and then slowly open, revealing those green eyes that are so much like Kade's but different at the same time.He blinks a few times, looking confused, and then his gaze lands on me."Odessa?" His voice is rough from not being used.I freeze. Nobody except Sarah has called me by my real name since I joined this pack. It was always Luna this, and Luna that… "You're awake," I say stupidly."How long has it been?" He asks. "Three days."He tries to sit up but winces in pain and falls back against the pillows. "What are you doing here?"That's a good question. What am I doing here?"I don't know," I admit. "I just... I couldn't leave."Something shifts in his expression as he stares at me. "The mate bond.""Yes. The stupid mate bond that won't go away like you said it would.""I know."We look at each other for a long moment and the tension in the room feels thick enough to cut with a knife. I should leave now

DAMON POV:I can still taste her on my lips.We're running through the forest in wolf form to check the western border. I should be focused on the mission but all I can think about is Odessa pressed against that stable wall with my hand down her jeans.What the hell am I doing?Marcus runs beside me and keeps glancing over like he knows I'm distracted. I probably look like an idiot, so I force myself to focus on the path ahead and not the memory of her body pressed to mine and the sounds she made when I touched her.Kade has been dead for six days. Six fucking days and I'm already touching his mate and planning to take her to bed.But she's my mate too now. The bond is real and it's not fading like I told her it would. If anything it's getting stronger every day.I don't know how to deal with this, I loved my brother. I left five years ago specifically so I wouldn't do something stupid like fall for his mate, and now here I am doing exactly that anyway. Except it's worse because he

ODESSA POV:I'm lying in bed staring at the ceiling, trying to catch my breath.That was incredible. That was so good that I don't even feel guilty about it, and I probably should, but I can't bring myself to care right now. My whole body feels like it's singing with satisfaction and I can feel the throbbing of my cunt, deliciously sore from the workout. There are bruises on my hips and wrists, and they’re in the shape of Damon’s hands. He's lying next to me, one arm thrown over his eyes, breathing just as hard as I am.I need to get out of here before this starts feeling like more than it is. I told myself this was just sex, and I meant it, which means I can't stay and cuddle or fall asleep in his arms or do any of those things that mates do.I roll out of bed and grab my robe from where it landed on the floor, pulling it on quickly."Running away already?" Damon's voice comes from behind me, and I can hear the amusement in it."I'm not running away.""You literally just jumped ou
