uh oh- Mia is angry!
“... then for me too, as John here is my fated mate, and I have no intention to let him go!" Darius's words echoed on repeat in Mia's head as she stormed towards her house, her anger bordering on rage. She couldn't bear the thought of witnessing that perceived loser being welcomed into her pack. Slamming the door shut behind her, she grabbed the nearest object, a picture frame featuring her, and violently hurled it against the wall.The resounding crash of shattered glass filled the empty house. "How dare he!" Mia seethed as she stomped around her living room, her anger boiling over. "He will pay for this. He has no idea what he's up against," she growled aloud, her voice trembling with fury.If only her bear would cooperate, but her stubborn animal refused to understand. Mia had mastered the art of calling her forward only when needed, concealing any signs of discord between her and her animal from prying eyes."Focus, Mia, focus," she repeated to herself, her voice laced with veno
Sera emerged from the bathroom, only to be hit by a sudden burst of dizziness that made her sway, prompting her to lean a hand against the wall for support. After regaining her bearings and stability, she pushed away from the wall and started walking back toward the party."What was that?" she thought to herself. Just as she was about to dismiss the feeling as a consequence of the high emotions she had been subjected to in the last few days, her lynx perked up and began to pace anxiously in her head.Sera quickened her pace, a sinking feeling settling in as they reached the door opening into the square, and her lynx painfully whispered, "Danger, boy."Alarm bells went off in Sera's head as she looked around and couldn't find John or the Alpha. Her eyes landed on Carla, and she moved quickly towards her. "Where are they?" she asked the woman without any preamble.Carla shot a look at the healer, sensing her distress and agitation. "They were here," Carla said, but then neither of them
"Come on, little bean," the voice whispered with a sly undertone. "You know you can do it—shock the bitch away..."John slowly blinked, his mind reeling as he attempted to discern the mysterious voice's origin. Was his lynx companion back? He reached out for his inner other half, desperately yearning for a connection, yet all he sensed was a haunting emptiness. "That punch must have been harder than I thought," he suddenly realised, continuing to struggle against Mia's unyielding grip."Mia, let him go," Darius's voice boomed, resonating with authority.Mia responded with a mocking laugh. "Why would I?" she retorted defiantly."This is our only chance to escape alive. He's our ticket out, and Lex will reward me even more generously when I deliver his little lamb to him," Mia explained, her grip on John's hair tightening. "What he sees in this scrawny thing, I'll never know! But we're not here to question his taste. Let's make our exit, Arlo," she declared, making a determined move to
Darius felt a whirlwind of emotions churning within him as he looked at his mate and the stranger standing before them. Was he hearing things correctly? Did John just address the man as his father?"Yes, he did," the stranger's voice cut through the air as if he had plucked the thoughts right out of his mind Darius mused. “Oh but I did, Mr. Alpha bear!” His chuckle held a mixture of amusement and something deeper, a hint of familiarity that sent shivers down Darius's spine.Sera, sensing the tension, moved towards the man, her curiosity piqued. Her steps were tentative, her gaze locked on the figure before her."Hello, Sera," the man greeted her warmly, his voice carrying a hint of nostalgia. "Long time no see—I see you haven't aged at all!" His words were laced with a playful tone, but underneath, there was a sense of sincerity that resonated with Sera.Sera rolled her eyes at the comment, her lips curling into a smirk. "Of all people, I didn't think they would send you Zion…" she be
In Lex's room, the air was tense, the seething Alpha seated behind his desk, his fingers tapping on the table in an unnerving rhythm. Kali stood just to the side of him, her presence adding to the oppressive atmosphere.Arlo stood rigidly next to Mia, a sense of dread filling them both. Lex's silence was unsettling, and before the thought could fully form in Arlo's mind, the Alpha slammed his clenched fists on the table, causing both Arlo and Mia to jump and the contents on the table to scatter.Lex looked up at Arlo, veins bulging beneath the skin of his neck, eyes filled with rage and promises of pain. His knuckles whitened as his muscles coiled; he was a ticking time bomb ready to explode on the two of them, and they knew that if it happened, there would be no saving them."Talk, do not leave anything out" Lex growled, his voice low and menacing. "And you better make it believable."Arlo moved to speak, but Lex cut him off with a shout. "Not you," he snapped, his gaze shifting to M
John observed the lively gathering in front of him, people mingling, laughing, and seated around a massive bonfire. Some children were joyfully roasting marshmallows, their screeches of delight blending with the overall atmosphere of happiness.The scene before him felt so... human. If stumbled upon in the woods, one might easily assume that Wildwood Haven for just another human town. John was acutely aware of the large hand gripping his small one, a connection that hadn't wavered since they returned from the almost-kidnapping earlier. The tingling sensation that ran up his arm and spread throughout his body warmed something inside him. Darius had not left his side, nor had he released his hand, not even when some of the pack members, including Mirabel, attempted to hug him, making the whole motion awkward. The worst moment had been when the group of kids that Mia had used to entice Darius away from John came to a halt in front of him. Their eager attempts to pull him away for the
The sudden bang of the door shutting shook John from his dazed state. Looking around in surprise, he wondered where everyone had gone. As he tried to wiggle around, he realized that he was clinging to his mate like a baby koala to its mother. His cheeks burned bright as he glanced up at his mate, whose eyes were now shining gold—his bear was in control!John was both captivated and uncomfortable, unable to tear his gaze away from the mesmerising golden eyes. Yet, the discomfort grew, and he looked away as he attempted to extricate himself from his mate's embrace. "Hello, little mate," came the deep voice of his mate's bear. It was close to what his mate would typically sound like, just rougher and more profound.Locking eyes with his mate again, John whispered softly, "Please put me down." His voice hinted at something that sounded like fear, causing the bear to retreat instantly, and Darius emerged again, taking the forefront."What's wrong?" Darius asked gently, cupping John's cheek
As soon as they reached Darius' room, hands impatiently stripped them of their clothes, which went flying in every direction. John’s lynx purred in delight as his mate's lips crashed onto him in a passionate kiss. John's inner lynx surged forward; he too, wanted their mate as much as his human counterpart did.John moaned into his Alpha’s mouth as the towering man walked them backwards until the back of his legs hit the bed. Darius gently leaned him onto the bed, pulling him up to the middle while hovering over his mate.The tingles intensified as their naked bodies touched everywhere. John let his eyes roam over his mate's godlike body, scanning his broad, muscular chest and then sliding further down to his well-defined abs. His gaze continued southward, eventually resting on the evidence of Darius's desire. John flushed furiously as his mouth watered, his eyes taking in every inch of his mate's hard cock. He had never seen anything like that before or a naked, aroused man anyway. Jo
