Liam POVJax came home with guests and it put me in a fowl mood. I was already fuming how Riley denied me and now watching them all candidly speak as friends had my jealousy through the roof. I wanted to be with them, especially Jax and Riley, but I couldn't let go of this fear inside me.Jack spoke a long while with Barry after dinner too. I had a feeling he was going to choose him as our lead Delta. Another one of my pack members that is already too attached to Riley.I couldn't find sleep easily, especially knowing she was wrapped in Jax's arms, and I was here by myself. It was better this way though. I had an entire pack to protect and not a single clue how with all this weird shit going on.All month I stomped around the pack house in a bad mood. Lindsey was the only one that spoke to me as the others were too afraid. I wanted to take her body to release this tension inside me, but my desire for Jax and Riley was greater. I was going to explode and now I was beyond pissed Riley ga

Liam POV'The alpha Lycan is at our gates.' One of my guards told me through my link.'Let him through.' I approved, but I didn't really have a choice. "You ready?" I looked to Lindsey, praying she was as submissive to my orders to lie to Demetrius as she was in bed. I can't let him know of Riley."Yes, Master." She moved to my side and ran her hand over my chest. Goddess, I loved when she called me that. If I didn't have so much fear running through me, I would bend her over right here to let out some of this tension inside me. I fucking hated this man.I took a rough kiss from her mouth to clear my thoughts. I can't show my disgust to Demetrius. I knew he wouldn't kill me, especially since the sick bastard wanted my daughters, but he would make me do as he wanted one way or another.We walked out of the pack house just as his oversized SUV limo pulled into the driveway. "Demetrius!" I bowed my head to him as he approached. He was the tallest man of any I knew and his body was fill

Liam POVI tried to stay clear of Lindsey until it was time to leave, but that damn woman didn't leave me alone. I sent her to town with Claire to buy her some new clothes, then I tried to get some work done.All I could think about was how I had them both coming so perfectly for me this morning. Jax was right, this felt like it was meant to be. Maverick was more than fucking happy about it too. I wanted to be with them and more than anything I wanted to please them. I don't know why they so easily caved to me either. I was total dick to them, but the second I was nice it was all swept under the rug. I wouldn't apologize for my actions, but I did feel a need to make it up to them. I knew that is why I pleasured them this morning. I wanted to feel like I could be enough and show them I was enough.Now, I just needed to figure out Demetrius. I had two options and only two options. Remove him from our life or completely give into him. Anything else would result in my death, maybe my ent

Jax POVI ran after Riley as she shot through the open door. I smelled blood, and I feared whoever spilled it was still there. Liam already shifted, standing a few inches taller than me with a body looked carved from a light brown stone. Every muscle of his was sharply defined and larger than his human form. Riley stood in a large open room with a wall length grey stone fireplace and a couch to seat atleast twenty people shaped in a half circle. The ceiling had long thick beams across the top in a light wood, giving it a feel of a real cabin style home.Her hand laid over her mouth as she cried into it. Tears ran endlessly down her face and I howled inside she had to witness such brutality, or feel this deep of pain.Danny Gomez sat on a large wooded chair that looked to be made straight from a tree. The back spokes still held bark over each one. His hands were tied to those spokes, tightly behind his back. His legs open wide and each tied to the bottom of the chair. His mouth was ga

Liam POVWe pulled in front of our pack house and left the car with a clear rift between us. It was never good to be at odds when trying to outsmart Demetrius. I knew it no longer matter though. I felt like every trick I played to win a small victory with the Alpha Lycan was only because he let me. I was always his puppet and I knew I always would be."You killed their entire family!" I said the second I saw his face, desperately holding Maverick back from barring his teeth. Most of the time my wolf bowed to Demetrius, and even now in my immense anger I still felt him wanting to. When Demetrius ruthlessly killed or stomped his boot of tyranny on others, my wolf felt like he was split in two. One, the loyal servant of something more powerful, and the other, a faithful leader to those that needed it. The tug of war at how to act inside me ripped at my insides in so much pain it was impossible to think straight."I did! I enjoyed it too." He grunted as he looked to the sky like he was r
