Trying to pretend like I'm not mortified, I say, “I’ll admit, I’m a little curious what you’ve been up to on here.”He grins. "Come hang out," then heads for his laptop.Dragging a second chair up beside him, I hesitate, unsure of what he’s invited me to do exactly. I look down at him and he looks back at me and a glint in his eye glimmers like Venus in the evening blue sky.“You want to see it?”I grin.You bet I do. Whatever it is. “Sure.”My gaze lingers on his face a moment longer before turning back to the computer screen, on which a satellite image of a forest appears. “This,” he says with a hint of pride, “is the Ethan’s Pack’s home.”What the fuck?I lean closer and realize it’s not a picture, it’s a video feed. Tiny figures like black dots traverse roadways that cut through the woods. They pass between structures tucked in amongst the trees. “Whoa, is that—”“Live? Mhm. Just hacked a few satellite systems to gain access to their feeds.”I cut my eyes to his again, appreciating
“Will we be killing the perpetrators, or is this a stealth extraction of my pack members?”“We’re not executioners,” says Jake.It’s another three hours’drive until we finally approach our destination. The terrain breaks, mountains rise from the desert waste, their slopes robed in green pines. The road slithers up the grade. The sleepy miles of empty, tan expanse give way to vigilance. Yet everyone watches the trees, expecting something to leap out from behind them.“What’s the plan exactly here?” I ask, breaking the silence.All eyes focus on Jake.He stays staring straight ahead when he answers. “We go in as Enforcers under the cover of just checking things out. We find your pack members. We make it clear that they’re coming with us and that if there’s a problem, all hell will break loose with the Enforcers. They won’t want that, and we’ll remove your pack members. Then, with the victims as proof, the Enforcers will come in and handle the Ethan Pack.”“Or?” Lucas asks, lifting a bro
“That’s what I’m talking about,” says Lucas with a hand pump and a grin. He’s first in line for a weapon, both my mates brings out their guns, they had two guns each , I look up to Asher, he had no gun.“ You should get a gun? Lucas says to Asher.“ I don’t ave one but I have the one bigger than a gun” he replied with confidence.“Luca looked at his two guns then he walk up to me and handed me one.“ Do you know how to use that? He asked.I shake my head to reply.“ Okay, I think you should return to the SUV, I can’t stand to see anything happen to you, it’s dangerous out here” Lucas says.“ Nevermind about me, I will try to use my Magic” I replied in a low voice. He stare at me for a while , he ad fears written all over his face.“ Listen, you should sta in the car, you don’t even know how to control that magic yet, I might never have you but our daughter needs you and Jake will make a perfect mate in as much as I want to be your mate, your hapiness matters” He look at Jake.“ He wo
Elise pulled me toward a large house in the outskirts of the town, I stared at the text message sent to me from an anonymous number, my chest tight in anticipation. Since I had left home three days ago, I hadn’t told anyone that I was coming back to my hometown. Only Elise knew. “Girl!” Anna shouted, grabbing my phone from me. “We’re about to head into your first party since you finally got the balls to leave your father’s estate and come back to town. Put your phone away!” I took my phone from her and shoved it into my purse, tucking some brown hair behind my ear. “I thought you hated partying?” “My best friend is back in town. You bet your cute little tush that I’m going to party, no matter how much I hate the smoke and drunk monsters trying to crawl up into every girl’s bed. Gods, I see enough of that at the pub.” After looping her arm around mine, she pulled me into the dimly lit house. Smoke and haze lay heavily around grinding bodies. People of all species danced and drank t
An explanation? Nerves zipped through me, and I found myself stepping back farther into the room. The four wolves followed me, their mere stature so much bigger and more confident than I ever remembered. What kind of damn explanation did I have for leaving them? None. “My dad made me leave,” I whispered, holding my hands up, as if to show them I wasn’t dangerous. Hell, I didn’t even know why I was doing it. A human like me could never be dangerous to four ruthless wolves like them. “He smashed my phone and moved me across the country.” “You didn’t say good-bye,” Lucas said. Dark skin, a single cuffed earring, and a fade with three-inch dreadlocks, Darius stood a bit stockier than the others. If it wasn’t for his gold family ring that he wore around his right thumb, I wouldn’t have recognized him. “I didn’t think I was leaving,” I said. “You left on your eighteenth birthday,” Tyler said, his voice deeper than it had been since I’d last seen him. Last time I had seen him, he had
“You ready?” Asher said from the doorway, watching me intently and smiling softly. “I’ve calmed Asher down. We don’t have to talk about anything tonight. It’s just going to be a … reunion of sorts, a time to get reacquainted.”“Reacquainted, huh?” I asked, stepping closer to the doorway.He paused and stared down at me, those golden eyes still the same. Memories flooded through my mind of the night before my eighteenth birthday, the night before Dad had changed my life forever. The guys and I had played an innocent game of Truth or Dare.“Why don't we play Truth or Dare?” Tyler said, glancing at the guys. “You guys do remember that it was our favorite game to play in high school, don’t you? We can play the adult version since we’re all grown up.”“The adult version?” I asked, arching a brow and feeling the warmth grow between my legs. Our Truth or Dare games in high school had gotten a bit freaky, though not as much as I had hoped at the time. “What does the adult version of Truth or
I glanced over at the guys, realizing that I wasn’t the only one turned on. Each one of them had their hand against their crotch, either trying to hide their boner, like Asher, or slowly stroking himself. Just the thought of them being hard for me made me almost tip over the edge.Pressure rose in my core, my heart racing. I couldn’t believe I was doing this. Touching myself in front of my four best friends? That was beyond anything I had ever done before, even with my incubus ex. He had never compared to them.The more I rubbed my pussy, the hornier the guys seemed to get. I continued, and before I knew it, Tyler had slipped his hand into his pants, strands of his dark hair falling onto his forehead. I inhaled sharply at the sight, my cheeks flushing.“Yes,” I whispered. “Please, continue.”Next was Lucas to undo his jeans button. I glanced over at him and rubbed my pussy faster. Oh God. If they kept doing this, I was going to come.A few moments later, even Tyler began stroking hims
“Let loose a bit,”Asher said, clutching the diary. “I saw the way you kept staring at her tits last night while she touched herself for us. You guys might’ve had something more innocent in high school, but it’s been four years. I bet she wants to fuck you just as much as you want to fuck her.”Lucas pressed his lips together, then grimaced, not refuting a word Asher had just said.“Open the diary,” I ordered.Asher laid the diary flat on the kitchen table and opened it to the first page after the Table of Contents. We all, even Lucas, leaned forward to read Entry #1. It was dated a day before her eighteenth birthday.This is wrong. This is so wrong.I shouldn’t be thinking these dirty things about my best friends, but I can’t stop. Every time I see their faces, I can’t help but imagine them inside me, pinning and restraining me, using toys on me until I come over and over, fucking me out in public behind The Cane Diner dumpster during the daytime.One Sunday morning, I’ll get the cour
