Laying in utter darkness, listening as the wheels slowly roll over the tar road, the only feeling that consumes me is utter fear. It is not so much being in the trunk of a car, but the fact that I am about to face a furious Liam. On his best days, his temper was a force that drove him to be the monster that I do know now he is.I would like to believe that he would go easy on me but I have not only embarrassed him but also lied to him about where I was staying. How I never knew that Liam was a werewolf is beyond me. I was too busy hiding my true identity from him that I did not notice that he had just as big of a secret.So as each ticking second passes by, I prepare myself to feel his full wrath that will come down on me. The fact that he not only once but on more than one occasion disregarded Kage’s threats tells me that he is a man that truly does not care what lengths he would go to. If getting rid of me is what he needs to do then I am sure he will do it with one damn big smile o
…KAGE POV…I am not a man that shows fear nor can you easily get me on the edge but take a man that has nothing to lose and all the determination in the world, and he sets a horrific fear to course through my veins.But what this man has also created for himself is a promise that once I set my hands on him, this time he will not walk away alive.We all have underestimated Liam.But that won't be a mistake that I will be making twice.My only problem now…Where the fuck do I find this man?Slater has put the word out on the street for any strange behavior that might cause an alarm, as where Nico is scouring each and every possible empty factory or building that there might be around.But there is a nagging feeling creeping up my bone that we are not even close to looking in the right places. I know this town like the back of my fucking hand, I would have known if there had been another pack making themselves far too comfortable in my territory. This leaves me to believe only one thing…
Watching the light of the moon fall through the tiny windows in the corner, the terrifying reality sets in that in little less than a couple of hours that bright ball will reach its apex and let its curse consume the earth.Unlike the power that Kage, Slater, and Niko have mastered, I still turn into an uncontrollable beast. But saying this, I am chained to this bed so there won’t be any danger of this beast letting loose between any of the innocent souls that are wandering town at this ungodly hour.Though I cannot say the same for Liam as I have never seen him turn, but his intention is quite clear, he wants to mark me and there will be no way he will be leaving this room until he has done the very thing.I need to get away from him before that even happens.Even though he is still severely hurt from the pain that Kage inflicted on him, I still do not think that I can take him on. And there is the little problem of his friends lurking outside there somewhere. If I can only get a sli
…THEN…It has finally gone too far.If I ever thought that having all three of them was an option, I have never been more wrong than I am right now.Kage is starting to suspect things; I saw the way he looked at Slater when I ever so subtly brushed passed him just now. I just could not help myself; I have been craving Slater’s touch for days now, but he has been avoiding me. He believes that he is doing the right thing by Kage, but he is only pushing me into the arms of Niko.And Niko…His touch drives me to want that of Kage even more.Why can Kage not just be enough?Why did I have to fall in love with them all?The Xavier brothers have brought me to my knees. I would like to believe that they have been my undoing when it is only myself that I have to blame. For far too long have they all safely shared my bed… Kage none the wiser, Niko and Slater not even suspecting that I was playing them both of them.Well, that is what I believed.Until today…“Avyanna,” I hear the voice of Kage
…NOW…I am awakened by a persistent buzzing.As I glance over at the clock on my bedside table, I am annoyed to see that it yet still very early morning. With nothing but a growl escaping my lips, I reluctantly accept the call, “You do know that it is two in the morning?”But instead of the cheerful voice, I have grown so accustomed to, there is nothing but sobs coming from the other end. Immediately I sit up straight, and with hesitation in my voice, I can only but stutter, “Olivia, what is wrong?”“Avy…” she pauses for a moment, “I think it is time that you come home.”“Why what is wrong?”“It is mom.”“No! Please, Olivia, don’t tell me?”“Avy…” she pauses yet again, “Just come home.”With that, there is utter silence…And as a million reasons try to stop me from saying the words, I cannot help but, “Okay, I will be there as soon as I can.”Falling back, I cover my head with my pillow, “Fuck!”I am not ready to go back.Not now, not ever.But my mom is sick, and I know that she does
What are the odds that by some wicked chance the Alphas claiming Jackson are the very ones that had claimed me all those years ago?They do have this habit of thinking that everything fucking belongs to them.The mere thought of having to face them sends my stomach curling. Yet, lingering just underneath the surface is a sea of emotion that I thought I had long forgotten. There is no denying that behind this façade, the wall that I had built is slowly crumbling.And before that happens, I need to decide…I am either all Liam or no man at all.I owe it to him and moreover, I owe it to myself.The Xavier brothers are destroying me all over again and I am giving them the power.It will not fucking happen.Not again!So, as I glance over to the only man that should be wandering through my mind, I lay my hand gently on his arm, “Why don’t we book into the hotel before we go over to my mom?”With nothing but a hint of lust filling those eyes, he cocks his head, and brings the car to a scree
…THEN…“Kage…”His eyes are smoldering, and with every goddamn bone in my body, I am praying that it is from his arousal, yet he is nothing but raging mad.“Get out!”“Kage…” With his grip tightening around my wrists, he is pushing me down the stairs. “Kage, please wait! I can explain.”His voice grows louder as he bursts out in a rumble of laughter, “Please tell me how you can explain my goddamn brother all over you?”“Kage…” The tears rolling like thundering clouds down my face, “He caught me by surprise. I promise you nothing happened.”For a fraction of a second, his breathing stops, and he spits out in disgust, “The same way that Slater was feeling you up in the kitchen?”“How…”He brings the tips of his finger to my lips, “How? Is that what you want to know?” Pushing me up against the very next wall presenting itself, he continues to pin my hands above my head, “Is this the way you like it?”“Kage, please…”Stepping through the dining room, he clears the table of its very conten
…KAGE POV…Moving with pure elegance, I watch her sway those goddamn hips with utmost tormented purpose. Flicking them from side to side, that skirt flares just enough to give me a full view of her tight ass. Every emotion that was ever filled with rage, is set on fire…That fire that once burned for her ignites right the fuck alight.And in a mere than the blink of an eye, my only desire is to taste Avyanna Tate…It takes me less than two strides, and I burst through the back door only to catch a glimpse of her as she disappears around the corner. With a nothing but smirk and the hint of a growl, I adjust my growing erection, “Not so fast, my little wolf.” Then from underneath my breath, I whisper, “I am not done with you yet.”But as I take that corner, sneaking up from the side, I see her toy boy pushing his way through the door, short on the heels of my prize, into the lady’s bathroom.Picking up the pace, I slip in behind just as the door is about to close, then with nothing but
