I wake with a start and a small, pleasured groan as small soft hands run over my chest; I let out a low growl as she then starts kissing my skin, following her soft hands. I like how Yasmine is getting bolder with her exploration of my body and what she can do to me. I don't open my eyes as I bring my hands up and wrap my arms around the soft body they come in contact with. I pull her tightly up against me as she finally trails her kisses to my lips. As I kiss her, I slide my fingers along her skin, looking for her scars, as I love tracing the patterns that they make. I know Yasmine hates her scars, but I see them as a badge of her strength and the fire she holds inside. They show me that no matter what, she will fight and she will come out on top. I frown a little and stop my side of the kiss when I don't find them. I then realise that there are no sparks from her touch. I sit up suddenly, throwing the female off of me, off the bed and onto the floor. I smirk as I hear a small whimp
A low growl rumbles through my chest at his tone and slight disrespect as I say,“Yes, you will…” I then look at Cecilia and growl at her."Cecilia, would you like to explain to your father what Ian is to you?" "What? Ian? Who's Ian? He's no one to me... Just another low Omega..." Morpheus pushes to the front and, using his Alpha power and growls, "LIER! The truth?" She goes to her knees in front of me and whimpers, "He is my mate, Alpha Zachariah." I'm not exactly sure where it is directed, whether it is what she said or if it was the fact that she said the truth, but don't miss the anger that crosses Alpha Beau's face when she tells me the truth. He then growls at her,"Cecilia, I thought I had brought you up better than that." “But Dad, you said he was a low Omega… And that I need a strong mate to run this pack with me, not a snivelling little runt like him…” she whines, proving that I was right.What Alpha Beau does next surprises me as I watch him step up to his daughter, w
The next few weeks are filled with meeting after meeting, after meeting, I had no choice as I had to catch up on all the work that I didn't do while I was at King Malik's territory and working things out with Yasmine... I groan at the thought of her, her scent is slowly fading from our room I have however managed to keep a couple of pieces of her clothing separate and saturated with her scent so if the loneliness of the mate bond affects me too much it is there for me. We don’t really sleep much. I rest while Morpheus takes us out and we run the territory every night, taking care of any rogues that decide that they want to try to enter my territory.I don't pay much attention as this meeting is the same as the one I had 4 hrs ago just for a different pack. My informants that Raphael sent out have all come back with locations of illegal sex and slave villages, one even stumbled on a breeding camp, he has inter-graded himself into the camp and is keeping Raphael up to date on any new in
As I go to tell her that I love her too, she disappears and the emptiness returns, telling me that they must have given her that drug she mentioned again. I hate this feeling of emptiness. Morpheus howls in my head and I return my attention back to the males in front of me. "Raphael, get in contact with our informants within Valentino's territory. Tell them to keep an eye and ear out for anything on Yasmine's arrival, but make sure it is on the down low." He nods and leaves the office as he says, "Yes, Alpha." "Zaire, that list of fighting packs. Do we have any informants in any of them?" "Yes." "Good, get in touch with them and discreetly see if they have any information about a possible new fighter that can't fight." "On it Alpha." He then follows Raphael out of the office. I take a few deep breaths, getting my emotions and Morpheus's conflicting rage under control before I walk out of my office and return to the meeting room and the 10 Alphas waiting in there. As I re-e
I feel her tense as she eyes the Alphas in front of us, but doesn't argue with me. I give her a soft kiss on the neck as she steps out of my arms. She then slowly makes her way around the room touching first Maverick and then moving around to run her hand over Harrison's shoulders, then as she goes to walk past Rhett he grabs her around the waist and with a slight scream of surprise from her, pulls her into his lap so she is straddling him. I watch as Rhett places slobbery kisses along her neck, and Vivian smiles as she lets out a small moan. Showing me that even with the daggers she was sending my way, she was enjoying every moment, and that I wasn't mistaken when I chose her for this, knowing she would love it. Keeping up my facade, I smirk and then say, "Gentlemen, since your attention is now focused somewhere else I think we will call this meeting to an end for the day… Alphas you can either take her to your own private rooms individually or you can use one of the free guest ro
"My feelings exactly. I would like to continue King Darius' mission and put an end to as many of these camps as I can." "I can now see why you didn’t include the others in this part of the meeting. There is no way those Alphas would even consider agreeing to what you are now proposing. Now, how are you planning on raiding these camps and such? Won't you need the King's approval? Raiding so many packs and territories?" "Of course, each raid will be done properly and by the book. At the same time, I will be looking for the females and males, including my mate that was taken from Alpha Jasper's pack and territory." That, of course, would depend on whose territory that they are in as going through Malik would definitely give some of them the heads up. I am not stupid; I now realise that the reason he and his father never continued with King Darius' mission of shutting all of them down is that some of the illegal packs, camps and villages are either run by them or they are involved cl
I am impressed as I always am when I visit, but this time I am keeping my eyes open that little more. I notice that a number of the trainees have a few injuries that are not from normal training or sparring. I turn to Alpha Adrian, “Why are they still training?” “Who?” “Those three over there…” I point to the ones that are the most injured and then continue, “They are injured and don’t seem to have been given the right amount of time to recover?” “Oh, those… They insisted that they could continue. They were involved in confronting a group of rogues trying to come into our territory yesterday.” For some reason, I don’t believe him. After every fight, a warrior is required to take at least two to three days to recover, and that is only for minor injuries. Their injuries look to be a bit more than just something minor. Looking at all of them, I come to the conclusion that they were made to come train or lose their position or possible position. As I scan the training field once more
Felix slowly loses his temper, obviously fighting his wolf as he says.“FATHER… That is no excuse. The training covers everything that is needed. I know as you had me doing it since I was 5. What else have you changed since I have been gone?”“That is a good question, Alpha Adrian... Last time I was here there were not only young pups running around but many females, however, my Beta here tells me that there are very few to no pups and the females he saw were all under the age of 17, care to explain?”“I had to move my vulnerable to a camp nearby so that the warrior trainees weren’t distracted by them…”“But wouldn’t the females left be just as vulnerable? Shouldn’t they have gone and some older ones stay?”I watch as he is running out of excuses and getting more and more uncomfortable, especially under his son's intense gaze. Felix surprises me as he then pushes for an answer to my question.“Father, what have you done? And Why?”“I… I… I had no choice…” he lowers his head as he answ
