***POV: Trent***That didn’t go the way that I wanted it too, but lately nothing has. Amara saying I don’t love her, that I’m not capable of loving her… how dare she? She doesn’t know what my feelings are, what I am thinking. At least she has the capacity to understand. Heather is not even capable.Being around Heather makes me feel like I am actually losing brain cells. She is not an Alpha, she is just not capable of understanding me. And now I am stuck with her, thanks to my pup growing inside her.
***POV: Imogen***After a lengthy brainstorming session, we split up and Violet took me to see the kids. I wanted to check in on them, but wanted to give them a chance to get reacquainted with their parents after being apart for so long. It was good to see them and they are definitely settling in.So now we are getting ready to go out as a group for the night. The big buzz is the ball that will be happening in a few days. Apparently they have already had a few off colony guests portal in, and it’s apparently a big deal.
***POV:Amara***If he keeps this up much longer, this entire room is going to be able to smell my arousal. Trent keeps looking over at me, sending me these knowing, smoldering looks. He is propelling me back into memories from the other night and all the things that he did to me. I am completely lost in the reverie of his intoxicating smell and his tantalizing touch. I am vaguely aware of the discussion happening amongst the council members, but all I can really focus on is wanting to feel this beautiful man inside me again.Suddenly my father snaps at me, trying to get my attention. I look at him, defiantly, the great Alpha Carlos doesn’t scare me. I find him making the connection, looking back and forth between Trent and I making eyes at each other across the table. I should care if he figures it out, but I really don’t, in fact I hope he does. We are in a Council Collective meeting with every pack, coven, and group leader and their heirs or second in commands. I really should be fo
***POV:Amara***It’s the day after the Council Meeting and thankfully all is calm. My mother thankfully did not broach the topic of Trent at all yesterday, and judging from my peaceful day so far, she must not have shared with my father the compromising position she found us in yesterday. I hear a knock on the door and my heart skips a beat. I wasn’t expecting him today, but one could hope. I open the door and find Trent standing there, looking rugged, and perfect. He gives me one of his sexy crooked smiles and pushes his way in. I close the door and he immediately pounces on me.He grabs me from behind and pushes me against the wall forcefully, and I am already turned on.“Trent, what are you doing?” I ask full of needy anticipation.“I’ll show you..” he says.His hands start touching me everywhere as he attacks my neck and earlobes, kissing, nipping, licking, all while keeping me against the wall with his strong toned body. All the sensations his touch is causing sending ripples of
***POV:Trent***I spent entirely too much time at Amara’s today, but damn if I just can’t get enough of her. I rushed around speaking to as many Alpha heirs as I could in the 2 hours of daylight I had left to make it look like I had at least attempted to have a productive day. I finished up talking to Alpha Peter and his son and future heir Pablo and headed home. Looking over the petition paperwork, I realized that somehow, I managed to get enough signatures for approval today.I head back home after a long day, looking forward to relaxing a bit. I needed another shower after spending more time enjoying Amara after our shower this afternoon. I jump in and immediately start to relax, letting my mind go blank. I get dressed in sweats and a t-shirt and get ready to settle in for the night with some leftovers and good movie. I warm up some lasagna and sit down ready to watch a classic action flick. As I finish my meal, my best friend and future beta, Cyrus mind-links me.“Hey, uh what are
***Amara’s POV***I pull away from him slowly, I force myself to stop. I can’t keep doing this, giving in to him whenever it is convenient for him. He is slowly breaking my heart with every day that we keep our relationship in hiding.I sigh, and turn my face away from him, willing my tears to stop. He turns my face back towards him gently.“Ok love, I will speak to my father about us, damn it all to hell” he says quietly, causing me to stop breathing for a second from the shock.I can hardly believe his words! “Are you serious? We are really going to do this?”“Yes, I am serious, just give me a chance to speak to him before you speak to your parents. I don’t want to live a half-life with you anymore. I am all in.” he places his palm on my face, cupping my cheek.I am over the moon, elated, tears coming back now, but this time they are tears of joy. I look up at him, his face looking determined and content. He looks down at me and gently presses his lips on mine. I deepen the kiss, le
***POV:Trent***I walk towards our pack house, both nervous and excited at the same time. I am nervous about how my father will react, but I am so ready to be done hiding. I do love her, at least I am pretty sure this is love. I don’t want to be without her, and I certainly don’t want her to be with anyone else, if that’s not love, what is it then? I approach the pack house, taking a few deep breaths, preparing myself for what will inevitably be a long confrontation. I open the door and walk in, and I am immediately overwhelmed by the multitude of people in the main living space, all gathered around the long meeting table. My alpha father is seated at the head of the table naturally, with all the seats around him occupied by his closest advisors. Beyond that, our fiercest and strongest wolves are gathered around, standing room only.“Trent, nice of you to finally show up, we have been waiting on you all morning.” He says sardonically.Damnit, of course he is going to make a big show o
***POV:Trent***I hear some loud vibrations around me and I wake up pissed. What is all this racket? I just wanted to get a couple of hours of sleep. I look around and remember I fell asleep on the boat, and then I realize we are moving. What the fuck? I get up and scramble up to the deck and look around. The whole team is here, Cyrus included, and we are out in the middle of the water, no land in sight.“What the hell is going? Where are we?” I ask looking around.“Hey Sleeping Beauty, you are finally up. We are about 1 hour from our target, we made good time today.” Cyrus says to me with a smile.“What are you talking about man? An hour from target? I was supposed to go talk to Amara, I closed my eyes for a few and now we are almost there?” Panic courses through me.Cyrus looks perplexed. “Wait, so you didn’t go see Amara? I figured when I saw you on the boat that you had handled your business and just came back to crash, so you’d be ready to go.”This is terrible. I can’t mind-link
