Chapter 18 - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Rocco)
ROCCO
Let me be clear right from the off. I am not 'dating' Jax. She is an interesting, cute woman and might be into me but these are business lunches. If you must know I am having these lunches to avoid having to go into her place of work and see you-know-who.
Especially since impulsive idiot Rocco has set some fairly dangerous wheels in motion. Johnny Deco had shown up a week ago at the Gilded Falcon. He was a short, scrawny guy with a receding hairline. If you passed him in the street you would think he sold flowers but he's a fixer in the local mafia.
He likes to brag, when he's had a big win and everyone else has left. Lolling on my bar stools with a cognac telling me tales about how many men he had to take teeth from to find out the latest snitch. Interesting yet terrifying.
Please feel free to leave comments or even a review - I'd love to know your thoughts!

Fighting Fate Chapter 19 - Massage with a Message
SELENEI have never checked into a hotel as fast in my life. Like an edgy KGB informant I quickly skirted around the foyer, keeping out of sight, ducking my head down, until safely in the elevator. After locking the door behind me I stayed there, hands pressed against the white wooden frame.Whether it was to make sure I stayed in it or to keep someone out was a question I didn't dare ask myself.Resting my head against the door I sighed in frustration. Even though he'd embarrassed me a fortnight ago I couldn't help my stomach flipping and toes curling at the way he looked at me. Those brown eyes were devilish. Like whirlpools they just sucked me in every time.Turning around, I tilted my head back against the door, lightly tapping my skull as though it would knock

ROCCOMy nervous energy carried me homeward, back to my cosy nest of a casino. At least here I was confident I knew what I was doing. As Jacob helped me set up for the evening alongside the red-waistcoated staff I found myself checking my watch. I wonder what she thought when it all arrived, did she think it a cheap move, was my note too vague?The massage I couldn’t help adding to the list of gifts, despite me trying to convince you of my higher, more moral aims to apologise. At the same time someone should be touching that silken body of hers tonight, even if it wasn’t me. I received raised eyebrows from Jacob at my jaunty new mood, as I bounced around the casino floor, but he went along with it smiling to himself.I realised I had been so caught up in the last few weeks chasing Selene I hadn&rsq
Fighting Fate Chapter 21 – Back in the Pack
TWO WEEKS LATERSELENEThe two hours drive hadn’t done anything to help Troy and I bond. If anything I had even less idea what was going through his head. Vague answers and faraway stares had been my driving companion. “I apologise in advance for my mom,” I muttered pessimistically, swatting away a fly.“So I’m meant to lie about all these epic clubs - how me and you get wild on a full moon?”“Yep,”He sighed as I switched off the engine and leapt out of the car, stretching his long limbs dramatically. He pointed two fingers to his eyes in an ‘I’m watching you’ gesture. Before I could reply he was swiftly swept up by Marie and my mother and whisked into the house in a flurry of fuss and chit chat. I spotted Marie, five years younger than me, now had her hair tightly pin curled just like my mom and looked way too mature for her age. A thought flashed back of how Adam used to laugh at Mom's style, now his mate matched. His ma
Fighting Fate Chapter 22 – Slow Dancing, Fast Talking
ROCCOI arrived hours ago. Jacob being the man of the hour meant I got to hang out in his parent’s fancy guest house alone until it was time to head to the town hall. It was probably for the best, my mind was jumping with memories, not many of them good.It’s been a long time since I was last here. Almost exactly twenty years. Certainly there weren't any fairy lights going on when I last stood in that town square, all eyes on me. Well, all eyes were on my mother first, then once Alpha Wicknace fulfilled his murderous punishment I was left as the awkward question remaining. What do you do with the horrified child whose mother had just been slaughtered. His father was no use, having already killed himself out of some bizarre sense of shame.I can’t remember anything of what was said, I numbly observed a pool of her blood oozing towards me, realising I needed to move before the new shoes she had got me were ruined. I didn’t want to upset her. T
Fighting Fate Chapter 23 - A Breath of Fresh Air
SELENE It was shaping up to be the most perfect evening. Rocco danced beautifully, I felt like a precious jewel being shown around the room in his arms. When he started flirting with me about being my masseuse my body surged with desire so much, I almost went off-balance. I felt more like a harlot than a princess at that moment and I loved it. His scent was intoxicating, richly earthy and unlike anyone I'd ever met. Without even realising, like ships in a storm we drifted closer together. Where my chest rested against his, the sparks crackled. I know he feels it too. It can't be just me. His freaking out when that song came on totally threw me. What the hell? I found him outside cursing the sky. The slick, confident mask had slipped leaving behind a hint of vulnerability in those coffee-whirlpool eyes. Rocco’s mind was completely elsewhere and all I could do was watch.Adam, of all people, the bastard who shattered my heart shows up. Of course. All I nee
Fighting Fate Chapter 24 – A Rocco and a Hard Place
ROCCOI had her right where I wanted. Finally, In my arms, my kisses making her scent intensify driving my wolf wild. I'm normally a lot more of a gentleman but I couldn't stop my cock stiffening with every second of contact. There was no disguising how much I wanted her.Reduced to a walking erection like a foolish teen. Still, I'll leave that bit out of my future reminiscing.Scarily resembling a dream she whispered those magic words, her eyes swirling gold. Do I want to get out of here? Absolutely I do."Lead the way," as she took my hand and smirked. She took off running, literally grabbing me and leaving the square as fast as possible. Her chest bounced in her purple gown and I couldn't help wondering how easy it would be to take off.A hundred metres later we were at a standard, faceless collection of porch-fronted wooden houses. She led me to one with girly pink rose bushes at the front and pushed open the front door."In here, quick," she said gi
Fighting Fate Chapter 25 – Deep wounds never heal right
SELENEOh my good god. Hell fire, oh my days and every other saying there is to possibly use.My imagination had wandered ever since we first met but still. I had never reached the scenario where I was completely naked on my mothers wooden staircase with his head between my legs.We both knew he wasn't done though. This was all building to the main event. He rubbed his huge cock against my entrance and not breaking eye contact gave it the little push it needed to pass my resistance. And oh…my…god.Seeing as sensible Selene was dead in a ditch I couldn't help sitting up, grabbing his ridiculously firm ass and pulling him deeper in. He roared like a lion as inch after inch sunk into me.I moaned too, even after all the foreplay he was a very tight fit. It was a lot to handle but I couldn't get enough. Feeling that full, as stretched and satisfied as possible. He hadn't even started moving yet. I was doomed."Oh god, why the fuck did I even bother with huma
Fighting Fate Chapter 26 - Just Throw me in the Trunk and Drive
ROCCOAs soon as I opened my mouth, I knew I had made a mistake. Like a bucket of cold water her pretty lips tightened in hesitation. I cursed my wolf, I’d scratched the itch, so to speak so why was I trying to take more? I should have just played it cool and assumed our paths could come together again for a repeat encounter.So I’d bailed, and now my paws pounded through across the town square. A sickening sense of déjà vu accompanied me as I weaved through houses, heading to the forest. I was a lot faster on four paws compared to eight-year-old legs.My wolf howled at her coldness. What did Selene find so wrong with me? Was it the casino, the playboy thing? She hides away from finding a mate, not a problem. I don't want one either. This is what you get for almost letting your guard down.Yes, I’m very angry right now. Fighting rejection as well the memories of the past.Finally darting into the pine trees, trying to outrun a million different emotions. I h
