Love, Gone in a Gust
"When will you finally be willing to love me?"
My Alpha, Jack Newman, pins me beneath him and asks in a hoarse voice. His tail brushes lingeringly across my waist, sending a shiver through me.
This is the seventh night we are tangled in bed together, our bodies bare and inseparable.
Seven days ago, he returned from the battlefield, carrying the scent of bloody slaughter and long-suppressed desire.
One year ago, I became his Luna. But I never truly open my heart to him. My wolf, Hannah, refuses to acknowledge the man who takes me by force.
But over this past week, under his repeated, forceful confessions, my defenses crumble bit by bit. I think he loves me desperately.
After he once again takes me tirelessly, I finally admit, "I love you..."
He smiles in satisfaction and leaves his mark on my neck. A month later, the doctor says I am carrying a pup.
I think this is the beginning of my happy life.
Just as I decide to accept him wholeheartedly, his first love, Isabella Boyd, returns. Dressed in a set of armor, she is seen alongside Jack at the border training grounds, stirring rumors throughout the pack.
He comes back at dawn once again. As I look at his handsome sleeping face, I quietly go to the council of elders and submit a request to dissolve our mate bond.
