Damien's POV I had a little free time so I decided to head up to our room to see what Theo was doing. I haven't really spent much time with him lately. I've just been so busy lately with everything going on and so has Xavier. Right now Xavier's in the cells interrogating the men we put in there from Caine's group. We have 16 of his men in our cells.The day they arrived, while all of his men were sitting down eating. We had the tables set up in rows. With his men sitting down eating, Lucian walked slowly up and down each row of men. His hand landing on each guy as he felt them, not physically but who they were inside. Their intentions, whether they were good or bad. 16 of them were not good and had bad intentions. They were there to make sure Cain died, they were also there to make sure the plan was followed through. The plan was to make sure Cain died and to kill as many of our men as they could before they died. Their plan was also to kill Noah. They knew it was unlikely they'
Cain's POV I slowly wake up to a steady vibrating sound and warmth against the front of my body. I'm confused as I blink my eyes open and look down to see dark hair on my chest. The vibrating sound is the soft steady purr coming from Christian who is now laying on top of me asleep. His arms and legs wrapped around me. His face tilted slightly up allowing me to look at his beautiful face as he sleeps. I slowly glance around and see everyone else is still pretty much sleeping. I see a few beds empty letting me know the early risers are already up and out. I've been staying in the tent with my men. Christian didn't offer and I didn't dare ask. So I've been sleeping in here. Which is fine by me, I don't mind staying with my men. I don't want to push myself on Christian and possibly scare him away. But I'm surprised to see him here. I never even woke up when he climbed in the bed with me. He must have did it in the middle of the night. I smile as I look down at him, my heart feels l
Anders POV I lay here watching my beautiful little mate sleeping in my arms while purring. My fingers gently caressing his cheek as he sleeps. I swear I can do this all day, just lay here with him in my arms listening to him purr and looking at his beautiful face. I can't believe how happy I am right now. I have everything I've always wanted, everything I've always dreamed and prayed for. When he told me he wanted me to mark him, I felt my heart stop and I couldn't breathe. My ex would never let me mark him. And I know Mark is nothing like him but I couldn't help but still be afraid that when it came down to it he wouldn't let me mark him either. I was terrified of it, I couldn't help it. My brain thought for sure he wouldn't let me mark him. My brain thought no one would. But he asked me to do it, I didn't even have to ask. And quite frankly, I'm glad he did because I was terrified to ask him. I was afraid of being rejected again. I was dreading it, I planned on asking him just
Finn's POVI turned to Addison once we reached the small clearing inside the woods.I turn and smile at her, I bring my hand to her face and lightly run my fingers down her face before gently cupping it.She smiles at me, her eyes shining happily as she looks at me."Lucian wants to come forward and take you to our spot that we picked out for our date. If that's okay with you?"I said feeling a little shy about the whole date. I've never been on a date before, I've never been taken to or taken anyone.But something came over me at the bonfire. Having her in my arms, sitting in my lap. I felt so comfortable with her at that moment. We were both joking lightly back and forth. She made me feel so calm. She kept kissing my cheek or kissing my lip as she laughed or giggled at the stupidest stuff I said. I'm sure it wasn't really funny but she laughed at it still.I really don't see myself as being funny but I was thankful she laughed. Even if it was just to make me feel better, because it d
Lucian's POVWith Finns lips still on hers. I pushed him back and came forward.I felt my lips against hers, her soft plush lips pressed against mine. I opened my mouth then ran my tongue along her bottom lip and she opened her mouth.I slid my tongue into her mouth and slowly moved my tongue with hers. Tasting her kiss, tasting her as our mouths moved together. My left hand at the back of her head, My right hand cupping her cheek.I moved my right hand to her waist then slid my arm around her waist and held her tight.I deepened the kiss and thought loudly to her, "hold me tighter."Her arms wrapped around my neck tighter. Letting me know she heard me.I smiled knowing she can finally hear me. I focused on my light as my tongue moved with hers and I felt it...My wings. I pushed them back and felt them materialize. I push them outward feeling my wings spread and open up.It felt so good to spread my wings. They're white, they slightly glow and they're soft.Our mouths open and close b
Finn's POVI shyly came out from behind the tree after getting dressed. I know it's silly, I was just naked swimming with them. But I ran like a little girl to the tree, grabbing my clothes on my way there without stopping.I felt the heat in my face as I did so. My actions only made me more embarrassed than if I would have just walked normal and stood there and got dressed.But for some reason I can't bring myself to stand naked so proudly in front of someone else like they can.I'm actually kind of jealous of that. I wish I had that confidence. No insecurities and able to do something like that. But I can't help it, it's been beaten into my brain... How ugly I am. How worthless and stupid I am. How I'm as worthless as the dirt under their feet. I'm pathetic!I'm trying to get over it, and my mates are helping me but... It's still there, and I'm still embarrassed of my body.I'm still embarrassed to be naked in front of them, especially in moments like this. I still have scars that I'
Cain's POV As we sat here eating breakfast, I couldn't stop thinking about the encounter with Tiffany. The more I think about it the worse I feel about it. I know she left years ago and hasn't spoken to Garrick since she left. But something doesn't sit right with me, the way she reacted to seeing Christian in my arms. I don't know if she is aware of what's going on between me and my brother. Or why we're even here. But I have a bad feeling she's going to end up telling him...... I need to get my box from town before my brother finds out I'm alive and with Christian. If he finds out he's definitely going to try and get that box before I do. I need to get permission to go into town. I have a safety deposit box that I want to get before my brother gets to it. When I was around 17 I found a box hidden in my room. It was from my mother. It had several letters in there from my mother to me. Along with the letters were some notes on what I thought all along. My father's friends and fam
Cain's POV On the way there the driver kept glancing back. I could see how scared he was. He grunts then whimpers as he crunches forward and grabs his chest. "What's wrong?" I ask. "He's my alpha, I feel him fading. I feel his tether to me breaking. The strands are snapping quick." He says as tears run down his face and he whimpers again. I looked to the guy in the passenger seat and he's not reacting the same way. "Is he not your Alpha?" "No Reid is. We're not from the same pack him and I." He says which now makes sense why he's not reacting like the driver is. I suddenly wish the other guy was driving instead. Just like an alpha can feel when they're pacc members are near death and dying, those same pack members can feel when they're alpha is seriously injured and slipping away. The sensation, the pain is identical. Right now his entire pack is feeling their alpha slip away even though they are so far away from each other. He could be states away or in another country and i
