Ana POVThe world around me seemed to move in slow motion as I began to tumble towards the rocky terrain. The momentum of the fall caused me to roll several times before I was finally able to stop my body. As I tried to find something to put my foot on, I was met with the ugly truth that nothing, but a 100-foot drop was below my legs and waist. I dug my fingers into the rocky edge of the cliff so hard that the skin began tearing from the sharp edges of the rock. “Xavier!” I cried as I tried to pull myself up. Stupid wolfless girl. Why couldn’t I have werewolf strength and claws? Those would surely come in handy right now. I tried to swing my leg up towards the side in an attempt to get my foot on top of the ledge. Instead, as my leg fell, it made one of my hands slip. I clenched my eyes shut and prepared for my demise. Just as my other hand slipped from the blood that was oozing from my fingertips, a strong arm grabbed mine and hauled me back on to safe ground. The sound of Xavier s
XAVIER POVMy mind kept going back to the morning sexting session with my kryptonite. My cock at half-mast the entire day. My side was feeling better than it did yesterday. Even with Lycan healing abilities, with the injury I had it would still take time to fully heal. As I put on some gym shorts and a t-shirt to get ready for my patrol walk, I mind linked Ethan to find out where Ana was. I wasn’t pleased to find out that my girl was locked up in my old-time out room. But I would deal with my mother later. When I made it back to the main house, after checking in with the patrols, I headed into the kitchen to grab something to drink. I was surprised to see no one was in there except for Sarah, who was drinking a glass of white wine and reading a book. A sense of disappointment hit me in the gut when I saw Sarah and not Ana. ‘Ethan,” I mind-linked.‘Yes sir?’ He responded instantly.‘Please get Ana out of my childhood room and bring her to my quarters.’‘But your mother–’ I cut him
Xavier POVAnnette was radiating happiness as we walked into the crowded amusement park. A smile that met her eyes was plastered on her face. Her eyes filled with wonder and excitement. Her blonde hair was up in a high ponytail which swished in the air as she walked. Today we were dressed more casually to not stand out even more while going on rides. I opted in for a plain white tee, jeans, and boots. While my princess wore white sneakers, faded jeans that highlighted her ass perfectly; a green, silky camisole and a black cardigan. I could get addicted to her happiness. The way it warmed my entire being was a high I had never expected after losing Ambrosia. I squeezed Annette’s hand and gave her a bright smile in return. “Xavier, this is incredible!” She let out an adorable squeal of joy and bit her lower lip. I wanted to latch my mouth onto hers and steal her lip that her teeth had the pleasure in capturing. I let go of her hand and stood back as Annette slowly turned around takin
Ana POVI can’t believe I almost let Xavier fuck me on a Ferris wheel! I guess that’s one way to make losing one's virginity memorable. I was confused and embarrassed by the situation so much so that I didn’t speak to Xavier for the rest of the night and went straight to my room when we got back to the palace. Today I would do the same. I was already embarrassed enough; I didn’t want to make things worse by him trying to talk to me about it. I just wanted to move on. The next morning came too quickly. I stared up at the ceiling trying to find the courage to get out of bed. We would be leaving soon to go to our first destination, Dark River Pack. We would be visiting six packs in the kingdom, along with several cities sprinkled in between, to strengthen our alliances along with assessing the local areas for any threats. Dark River was over an hour and a half drive. We would be staying within the Pack’s territory for three nights before heading to our next destination. Instead of
Ana POVMy face flushed. “Um...no not yet. Hopefully soon.” I stammered out. Before she could continue to ask any more questions or give me any more advice with double entendre, I stood up and gave the ladies a slight bow of my head. “I do apologize ladies; I am feeling quite tired from our travels and feel a headache coming on. I think I am going to head back to the pack house to take a little rest. Do you mind if we continue this advice discussion a little later?” Louise gave me a worried look. It was hard to tell if she was genuine or if she mimicked Sarah’s insincerity. “Oh, course dear, are you okay to find your way back?” I nodded before turning around and walking away. My thoughts on Louise’s intentions were made clear as I heard the ladies cackle behind me and murmuring to one another.I'm no stranger to that sensation when folks are whispering behind your back. But I once believed that changing my pack, changing identity would be a surefire escape from it all. But things n
Xavier POVI stood next to the floor to ceiling windows of Desmond’s office in the pack house. The back of the house overlooked a stunning view of Dark River, a massive body of water that divided Desmond’s territory from Black Claw. Creating distance from the rebellious pain in my ass, Alpha Lawson. Outlines of mountains could be seen in the distance. I took a sip of whiskey out of my crystal glass. Desmond sat in an oversized chestnut colored armchair behind me. “So, my King, how are things going with the future queen?” I could hear the knowing smirk that would be on his face. And sure, enough as I turned around, Desmond had a shit-eating grin on his face. I sighed before scrubbing a hand down my face.“That good, eh?” I shot him a glare making Des chuckle and put his hands up in mock surrender. I sat in the matching armchair across from Desmond and rested my forearms on my thighs. “Things have been…” I didn’t know the right word to describe mine and Annette’s relationship. “...
ANA POVA feral growl left the red eyed beast’s mouth before it lunged at me. I squeezed my eyes shut as sharp claws raked down my side. I let out a scream of pain, hoping someone would hear me. The sound of fabric tearing, snarls, and my sobs echoed in the room. Out of nowhere a tingling sensation began to spread from my chest to all of my limbs. I must be losing too much blood and hallucinating because I could have sworn, I saw white light surrounding myself and the wolf that was towering over me. I briefly lost consciousness and woke to the sound of a whimper. On my side was a young boy, no older than twelve, curled up in a ball with his eyes squeezed shut. His chestnut brown hair clung to his forehead from sweat and blood. It took a moment for me to realize he was whispering to himself. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it.” Pain radiated in my side as I rubbed the arm of the boy. “Hey, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay.” I soothed. The boy opened his eyes.
Tyson freed his hands from the swaddle I created for him. “She healed me!” He yelled, making everyone stop to look at me with questioning stares. My heart pounded in my chest as the young boy tried to stick up for me. Tyson wiggled out of my grip and stood in between the skeptical guests and the two of us. I didn’t question the boy. Something in my bones told me that Tyson was right. Lousie barged into the room with Sarah. Both panic stricken. Louise made eye contact with me and then to her mate. “Wh-what’s going on?” she stammered. “Mom please make them listen!” Tyson pleaded. His eyes filled with unshed tears. The boy’s eyes met mine once more. I brushed a lock of hair that was covering part of his eye. “It’s okay Tyson. Go to your parents so they can make sure you are alright.” His bottom lip quivered. I gave him a slight nod of encouragement. He pulled the blanket tighter around his torso and walked over to his parents, who were now in a heated hushed conversation with Xavier.
