Chapter 28
I knew it wasn’t answering his question outright, but I wasn’t wrong. I didn’t know him enough to know if I should be scared of him, did he want me to be?
He seemed content enough with my answer to let it be as we sat in silence for at least another hour. It was already dark, and my emotions were exhausting, darting back and forth between wanting him completely and wanting nothing to do with him. I knew Echo longed for her mate, she trusted that bond above all else, but I knew better than to blindly trust someone when the mate bond also left us vulnerable, and at risk for the most pain we’ve ever experienced, if it went badly.
I tried to catch site of the moon above as we drove, hoping somehow for everything to turn out, for the Moon Goddess to guide me and help me be strong for whatever came my way once we reached our destination. I must have fallen asleep against the window because the next thing I felt were sparks, sparks radiating happ

The more I opened drawers and fanned through the back of the closet, the more I noticed a theme. Lingerie, lingerie, lingerie, oh look, more lingerie, and some of them were missing some pretty big chunks of fabric. Not a nightgown or pajama set in sight.I tried not to think about the implications of Kallan telling me to pick something to get changed into when these were the only options. I wasn't sure he was even aware of what the closet was filled with when he had told me he asked Eathen to arrange this, and Eathen was clearly trying to make things happen with all of his comments to me, not that I would expect less from his Beta.Either way, there was no way I was wearing any of this, and none of the shirts in here would work being as form fitting as they were. There were no sweaters, and limited options as bottoms that mainly consisted of jeans and skirts. I huffed as I left my closet, I couldn't stay in the clothes I had on, and if I didn't decide on somethin

He lifted my chin sending sparks down my jaw, and I opened my eyes which immediately locked into his. He leant into my face and hovered a few inches away, his breath passing over my lips as his voice pierced me, stern and monotone."You will beg me for it little mate," he paused and his face tensed, “as soon as you let go of your little play thing.”“My plaything?” My eyebrows furrowed and I looked at him in confusion, my eyes narrowing and searching in his own. His face was much too close to mine still, it was hard enough to keep Echo at bay when he was across the room.He let out a low chuckle, and brushed his cheek against my own as he whispered in my ear, “You don’t think I missed how your old Beta looked at you, do you my love?”That was all it took for Echo to be done waiting, his lips sat so close to my neck that she was fighting me to take over. Everything else took precedent to her, she was ignorant to ho

I snapped around to face whoever it was, part of me was scared it would be Kallan, and the other part of me hoped it would be.There sat Eathen. His face was indifferent as he sat there looking at me, and I was lost for words as I stared back at him. I wanted to know what happened to Kallan, to me, but my voice refused to even try.For the first time I had a chance to really look at him, he was fairly large but not quite as big as Kallan, and his eyes were more of a dull blue color. His hair was dark and longer all over, except where there should be a beard, only stubble was present.Without a word, another she-wolf came into the room, she was older and was carrying a small bag in her hands. She looked at me with caution as she approached me with a certain purpose behind her steps. I had no idea who this woman was, what the hell happened to me, or why she was here.I scooted back on the bed away from her, but her voice came out soothing."Hi
Timber Alpha Chapter 32
I tried to take in Eathen's words slowly, the pain of them was becoming too much to bear. I couldn't help but feel I wasn't living up to mate expectations, not that it was all on me, I didn't expect my mate to be the most dangerous wolf alive.“He would never hurt you Octavia,” Eathen's words came out like he could read my mind, before he raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side a bit like he was thinking to himself, “Sabre however, probably would have killed Rowan and brought you back his head had he managed to break through.”My eyes were opened all the way, I was searching his face for signs that he was joking. He wasn’t. Eathen's jaw tensed and his voice returned to being rigid."I'm going to ask you something... you need to be honest." My chest felt heavier but I nodded, I wouldn't lie, that wasn't who I was."Are you... pure... Octavia?" His words were monotone as he searched my eyes for any sign that I was abo

When I peeked out of the door Elle was waiting for me, as were two other men who I assumed were guards. She made an 'aww' face at me as she walked slowly down the hallway,checking to make sure I was following.It seemed much larger in here than I had noticed last night, the walls were all painted a soft white color with grey edging, it made everything look crisp, clean, and high end. It lacked a certain decor aspect I was used to, but it had a more relaxed feel to it, other than the guards who kept following us. Elle smiled as she caught me glancing their way, slowing her pace to match my own and walk more even with me.“Don’t mind them Luna, they have to follow you.”They have to follow me? I went from being locked up all the time, to being followed all the time, great. We walked down a few flights of stairs and took an immediate left into the kitchen. There were multiple fridges and stoves, at least one walk in pantry, and a co

When I looked back at Elle, she stood from her chair without even glancing my way, took a few steps back from me and looked at the ground just as the guards did.His smell hit me like a brick wall, how did he smell THIS good? I closed my eyes, too busy being completely consumed with taking in that thick coffee smell laced with a rich cinnamon cream, and there it was… oak, to care about what happened to me.He spun the chair I was on around to face him, staying seated was not a great plan, I was even shorter than usual compared to him now. I could see just past his outline as the guards left, and Elle hurried beside Eathen as they left too.We were alone now, my heart race picked up with no way to temper it, my whole body felt anxious, dying to reach out and feel his sparks. His chest let out a low rumble, snapping my attention up to meet his eyes.Ugh, his eyes. His impossibly deep green eyes. I tried to read his face, but the only clue I had

His eyes would easily make me lose myself and lose track of time. The glitter would swirl for me, reactive to my every movement, and made the mate bond feel thicker and tighter with every glance.The afternoons in his office have me too much time to think, I wondered what we were doing here, if I was in danger it didn’t feel like it, but it didn’t feel like I fit in here either. He was removed from me since the other night, almost like he was walking on eggshells around me, when it should be the other way around. The only comfort I had was that he coexisted with me at all, and that supper would soon come and relieve some of the awkward silences between us.I’d get to eat supper with Kallan, Eathen, Elle, and his Gamma, Nicholi. Nicholi was around Eathen's height and build, with short sandy brown hair, and the same kind of deep blue eyes that Eathen had. The three of them looked terrifying together, all riddled with scars and tattoos spreading over the

I instantly regretted what I said, I knew who, there was only one person he would be asking me about. His stare intensified and I could feel the waves of emotions rippling through me as his lips parted.“He has a mate out there somewhere,” I cut him off hurrying my words. He was finally willing to have this conversation with me and I almost ruined it. I was fully awake now, trying to tread carefully as we continued.“Do… you… love… him…” he repeated slowly.As I stared annoyingly at him, something twinged in my stomach, and I spoke in a hushed but assertive tone, “No.”He got up from his chair and walked so slowly to me that I didn't dare assume what was about to happen. I was both terrified and excited. Echo was pacing and begging me to make contact, he reached out and lifted my chin slightly, sending those sparks I longed from down my body, as he studied my face.“Would you lie
