I’d been worried when Sarael moved forward, even more, when I could smell her blood. But the results were terrific. I didn’t know people could do such things. I know magic is out there, but I didn’t know it could do things like that. ‘Our mate is fucking amazing.’ Irving nodded proudly.
I wasn’t going to argue because I was in one hundred percent agreement. Based on the look on my brother’s face, he was impressed too. I’m glad she’s proving herself to be a worthy Beta. It also reminds me I need to tell him our plans for the new moon and how they may result in her having a wolf. We can discuss that later. We have to deal with Sakina at the moment.
And, of course, the infuriating woman was not making anything better with how she was talking. She’s lucky to be still breathing. My brother does not like the word ‘runt’ and has choked people out for using it.
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday.
I rolled my eyes, ignoring the teasing grins of my brother and his mate watching us leave. “So to the grocery store then your place?” I made sure of the plans as I led her to my car. “Yes. What sounds good for dinner?” she asked as we pulled away from the pack. “Hmm, not sure. Guess we see what looks good. Mrs. Carmichael is always big about making food fresh. So she plans meals the day off, always buying the meat fresh that day based on what looks best at the butcher counter.” I shrugged. “It makes sense. So now that we told Logan and Aurelia about our plans. I think we should tell Khalid.” Sarael sighed. I frowned. “Sarael… I know he’s your nephew, and you want to trust him. But I still don’t. I think it could be detrimental if he were to know our plans for marking each other. Especially the part of you possibly getting a wolf spirit. He could attempt
I laughed against his lips. John had become more forward and at least open about what he wanted. Though it still takes me a little by surprise when sex is initiated by him rather than Irving or me. I swear all those years of celibacy had the opposite effect than it would most men.Most men would be begging for sex day and night, trying to turn any moment into a chance to get laid once they’d finally broken their celibacy. But not John. No, John is still reserved. The man can spend a whole two-hour movie on the sofa with me and not make a move beyond cuddling me.I had to entice him the other night by intentionally wiggling, so my ass pressed against him. Thankfully Irving got the hint and knocked sense into John. That’s when I realized if I want intimacy, I can’t wait for him to initiate as my exes would. With John, either I initia
It had taken almost a week for John to get Logan onboard to allow Khalid to visit Sakina. Sakina hadn’t managed to cause more trouble since the last time we saw her. But then again, she’s been in a straitjacket this whole time. Hard to cause trouble without your hands. They don’t even let her hands-free when they bring her food. I had tried to object to this treatment. But Logan was having none of it. He said my sister was a piece of shit who behaved worse than an animal. And therefore, she can eat like the monstrous animal she is. Was hard to argue with him after that. I guess I should be glad he’s even feeding her. Finally, today was the day that Logan agreed we could bring Khalid to see her. “Khalid, I expect you to behave. I do not want you giving her any indications or secret communications.” John warned as he put a blindfold over my nephew's eyes.
I had borrowed a jeep used by the pack rather than taking my SUV into the forest to camp. As much as I’m sure it could handle the terrain, I don't want to get my SUV dirty when I can use one of the jeeps specifically for this. We take pups camping usually every full moon even though they are too young for their wolves. We want them to know our territory and learn how to navigate and survive it even without their wolf. I wanted to comfort Sarael and ease her worries and anxiety about our mating tonight. But it was hard when I had my own. There is so much uncertainty with this endeavor. We have only what the book says. But there was only one instance of a ranked wolf mated to a human referenced. All I can do is trust the moon goddess and hope that nothing goes wrong. “Have you heard anything about Khalid?” she asked. Well, that’s certainly not a subject I
It was exhilarating riding on Irving’s back. And unlike last time, we aren’t rushing off to danger. This time there is no one trying to kill anyone. It’s just us out here in nature. It’s been a long time since I’ve been camping. I can at least be sure this camping trip will be more memorable than my camping during college. I can only assume spending more time in nature will be something we do more often. Especially if I develop a wolf spirit. Twice a month, I’ll be able to shift and run through the forest with Irving at his side. I blinked as we came to a stop in a clearing. It was obviously a place that has seen campers in the past. “It’s beautiful out here.” I commented as I slipped off Irving’s back. The space had obviously been cleared, but I could still see native flowers poking out around the surrounding cedar trees that surrounded the space. 
Everything seemed to be going perfectly. Precisely as the book indicated. I marked Sarael, and she was able to mark me. But then it went to hell and fast. She felt like she was burning up, her whole body was shaking, and I knew it wasn’t from pleasure. Her eyes had rolled into the back of her head. It was almost like she was having a seizure. I’d quickly moved off her calling out to her, hoping maybe she’d hear me. But she didn’t. ‘I can’t hear her. If the bond is complete, I should hear her thoughts. Feel what she feels.’ I was frantic. Irving whimpered because another reason we wouldn’t hear her was if she were dead. But if she was dead we’d feel it. Our hearts would be ripping to shreds. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I gently shifted to her side and treated this like a seizure. Right now, I just need to keep her airways clear and wait. This was
You know the saying ‘slept like the dead.’ I think that’s an accurate term for how I slept. I was so drained of energy I barely remember returning to my human form. I was a little disoriented when I felt the cold air, followed by John’s voice telling me to wake up. The sun was barely over the horizon. We had a late and hectic night. I am sore all over. ‘What is this strange feeling? Why do I feel panicked and incredibly pissed off? That’s not my emotions. Nova? Are you panicking and pissed?’ I questioned, trying to place the feelings. Nova yawned, stretching as she got to her feet. ‘Nope. I was having a happy dream about Irving biting the back of my neck while he fucked me hard.’ she sighed longingly. This was going to take getting used to. ‘Okay. So it wasn’t your emotions. So then…’ I didn’t have to finish the thought as John made it clear they came from hi
The fight at the airstrip was utter chaos. I don’t even know how Sakina got so many Hunters here so quickly. But my pack and I were not letting them leave here alive. Hunters haven’t had the gall to cross into Bloodmoon territory in decades. Well, this blood bath will help ensure that fear is restored. Maybe we let one or two live to spread the word that the Bloodmoon pack is still just as ferocious as ever. I didn’t want to get separated from Sarael, but Irving had other ideas. ‘Sarael is a skilled fighter. And now that we’ve completed the bond, she has our strengths and Nova. Our mate will handle her sister. She vowed to do so as Beta, let her.’ Irving said as he rammed through the chaotic scene. We took down hunters, ripping into throats, and tore off a few limbs, making our way to Khalid. ‘Fine. We trust Sarael and Nova to handle Sakina. But I told
