Hunter’s POV Finally, it’s the night of the Alpha Ball something I have been waiting for my whole life. Tonight, I will become the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, the largest and most respected pack in the state. I had given up most of my childhood to be where I am tonight. My father had pushed me to become a worthy successor for his position as Alpha. After countless days and nights of training as a pup he sent me off to the most prestige school for Alpha training. Then after that I was enrolled into a warrior program taught by the top warriors in our country. My father had provided me with the knowledge and the physical abilities to protect the people of our pack, but it also came with a price. I had not been home in over eight years, and I was without a mate. The pack needed a Luna just as bad as they needed an Alpha. It was brought to my attention by Beta Jacob that the Crescent Moon finest unmated she wolves were out in full force tonight to bag themselves an Alpha. To their
Ella’s POV As sunlight beamed through the window, I started to squint my eyes. I turned over and tried to open them, but everything seemed blurry. I rubbed the corner of my eyes with my fingertips and finally everything became focused. I looked around at my settings and shot straight up in bed. I was in a bed but not my bed and I don’t know who’s it is. The room looked masculine with grey walls and two black dressers one tall and one long and short. The bed was the biggest bed I have ever seen with a huge headboard that almost went to the ceiling. A desk sat on the far wall in front of a window with a chair and a small black leather couch sat on the wall beside the desk. I was definitely in a male’s room but who’s. The events of last night seemed to be foggy in my mind. I remember going to the Alpha ball with my parents and meeting Chance there. We danced and hung out with Samantha and Seth and then Hunter. Oh, my goddess and then Hunter and I were alone in his office. I pulled the b
Ella’s POV When we were miles away from the packhouse I finally started to relax with my arms wrapped around Hunter’s waist. The scent of worn leather from Hunter’s jacket mixed with his scent of sandalwood and lavender intertwined calmed me from within with every breath I took. My heartbeat started to slow down and fall into beat with Hunter’s as I pressed myself against his back laying my cheek flush between his shoulder blades. My wolf purred with contentment being in such close proximity to our mate and I could easily tell that she had chosen Hunter already. It was becoming harder for me to keep her hidden because every minute I am near Hunter she grows stronger. The mate bond between Hunter and I is growing stronger even though we aren’t mated. The pull I feel towards him is overwhelming and I fear I won’t be able to withstand it much longer. If I’m being honest with myself, I don’t want to fight it because I still had strong feelings for him. The feelings I had for him as a chi
Ella’s POV A loud boom made me jump closer into Hunters arms. “We have to get back to the cabin.” Hunter said before he let go of me and started to strip to shift. Hunter lowered himself once again for me to climb onto his back. I quickly got on his back with no hesitation this time. I grabbed ahold of him a little tighter this time in fear of the storm. The sound of thunder rolled through the valley and scared me once again. Hunter took off towards the cabin once he thought I had a tight enough grip on him. The rain started to come down faster causing it to sting as it hit my face. I buried my face into the back of Hunter’s neck to shield myself from the sting. “Hold on tight Ella. The ground is getting slick with mud and wet leaves.” Hunter linked to me as I tighten my hold like he asked me to. I felt Hunter slide a few times, but he recovered quickly. I trusted Hunter and his wolf neither would let anything happen to me. My teeth began to chatter as the cold rain soaked ev
Hunter’s POV The sight of Ella in the dripping wet clothes drove me nuts, but the sound of her teeth chattering brought me back to reality. I had to get her a change of clothes quickly. I knew I had a stash of clothes in the dresser in my bedroom. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bedroom, and I stood her next to the bed. I took the flashlight, and I went into the bathroom and grabbed three towels two for Ella and one for myself. I handed Ella two of the towels and put one over my shoulder. I then went to my dresser drawers and started to rummage through them trying to find something that would somewhat fit Ella. The best I could do was a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt for her as I grabbed myself a pair of sweatpants too. I handed the ones I had picked for Ella to her and told her I was going to build a fire and left the room before I lost control of my wolf. Ever since the run my wolf has been trying to push me to mark Ella. He wants her for a mate just as much as I do
Ella’s POV What Hunter had just done to my body was orgasmic. Never had I ever imagined that it would feel this good. I mean yes, I was innocent, but I had sex education and read countless romance novels. The mate bond was also intensifying the sensations between us. The pull from the bond to let him do whatever he wanted to me was undeniable. Plus, the wine was definitely relaxing my nerves and giving me help to let me submit to my own desires. My wolf though was not satisfied and wanted to show our mate pleasure too and I had to agree with her. Hunter’s moans of ecstasy while he was pleasuring me was what drove me to my edge. I loved how he enjoyed giving me pleasure and I wanted to experience what it felt like to give him what he desired. Hunter was now laying on his back waiting for me to give him these pleasures and my wolf was begging for control. I knew that if I was going to be able to please him the way he needed pleased I was going to have to hand over some control to h
Chance’s POV I woke up this morning worried about Ella. My wolf was telling me something wasn’t right. Samantha told me that Ella texted she wasn’t feeling well last night and that she went to lie down. I figured she would be in one of the guestrooms, so I got up and started looking for her. All the rooms had been occupied by someone else or empty. I walked down the hall that led to Hunter’s office and found the door shut. I knocked hoping he was inside but there was no answer, so I opened the door to see if he was just ignoring me and walked in. I looked around the room since no one was here. I walked over to Hunter’s desk and flipped through some files he had laying on top of his desk. What an idiot I thought to myself. I would never leave these files just sitting out like this. Moving to the other side of the desk the scent hit me, cherry blossoms. The scent was faint, but Ella had been here recently. I pulled my phone out and called Hunter. His phone rang and rang before fina
Ella’s POV Umm… I curled in closer to something warm. I could feel heat radiate from whatever it was. Then I felt the tingles radiate through my half awaken body. Realization hit me that I was wrapped up in Hunter’s arms like a cocoon. This was going to take some getting used to but I’m not going to lie it felt amazing laying here in his arms. I closed my eyes and snuggled into his arms and started to think about what happened yesterday and how amazing I felt this morning. Yesterday was like a fairytale for me with a happy ever after ending. My childhood prince charming became my real-life prince or should I say my Knight in shining armor. Between whisking me away on his motorcycle, to riding his wolf through a crazy storm my first day with Hunter was eventfully to say the least. But none of that even remotely matters compared to what happen last night between us. I started to blush thinking about it and how the wine had to of given me the strength to give into my desires. I want
