I knew I felt drawn to them, but I didn’t quite understand their need to be attached to me at all times. I swirled my bracelet on my wrist, the rash had gotten worse since this afternoon, and it was getting pretty painful.
I had to toughen up around Alaric, even if he didn’t want me, Xander and Wyatt did, and was it fair to them to keep a part of me, a huge part of me, away from them and their wolves because it might be painful, especially when I had so much to learn still?
When I opened my door Xander was standing there waiting on me, snugging me into him as I wrapped my hands around his neck. I did miss his touch, it was so calming and made everything that was crazy and a mess around me just disappear. I found myself also missing Wyatt and couldn’t stop myself from searching the hallway for any sign that he was about to come around the
“They didn’t tell you much did they,” she scoffed and looked super annoyed, “we can go over pack hierarchy tomorrow, the short story is that a long time ago someone was promised to marry the boys to strengthen things between packs, but the more time you spend with Alaric, the more your bond will grow, and once he lets himself accept it, things will change, you’ll see.”“To fully seal the bond,” she shifted a bit in her seat as she continued, and her cheeks may even have a slight blush to them, but it was hard to see with the lighting in this room, “you need to mate, that is... have sex, and then mark each other, which is when you all will bite each other’s neck in a certain spot, leaving behind a unique mark that let’s other males know you are taken. It’s usually enjoyable, and once the bond is complete you will be able to feel each ot
"Sugar, the possibilities are endless," Wyatt was talking so close to my mouth that I could feel my core tighten and arch towards him."Have you guys done that before?" I asked more out of curiosity, I mean, that couldn't be a thing right? But a sudden wave of jealousy hit me while I awaited their answer, not sure I wanted it anymore."No Precious, we've never shared anyone before," he kissed a spot behind my ears that made me moan slightly, causing their chests to rumble around me as he continued, "are you gonna let me be the one to pop your cherry?""Nope," Wyatt announced, "it's gonna be me.""You can stop arguing," I announced, "that's uh... been done." I winced a bit expecting them to react in anger, but Wyatt just dramatically threw his back down on the bed, lettin
ALARIC'S POV CON'T It hurt as I left her, I knew she was upset but I couldn't think about it for too long. Wyatt was already on a warpath, mind linking everyone in the area that she was to be found and brought back, saying she was lost. People thought I was a hard ass, but Wyatt was unpredictable and was often tyrannical, so I mind-linked Orion and told him where she was, no one else needed to suffer because of her. I watched from far away as Orion led her back to my brothers, they were all over her and she was allowing it. I had to fight the urge to join in, so I disappeared into the forest, circling back for my vehicle after a while, when I knew they would be gone, and headed into town. I needed some answers, and her brother's help with this, surely he wants what's best for her. I only knew
*Author’s note: This chapter going forwards will contain spoilers to Timber Alpha. Both books can be read as stand alones, but if you’re going to read them both I would suggest finishing Timber before moving forwards.* ALARIC'S POV CON'T I reluctantly sat with where my mother motioned, knowing that I couldn't avoid her for much longer, and she needed to come to terms with things just as much as my brothers did. “She’s lovely Alaric,” my mother sighed and studied my face for a reaction. “She’s going home, so don’t get attached,” I stayed monotone with her. If I say one thing that hints that I already feel the pull, she will blow it up and continue to encourage my brothers. “You deserve to
WYATT’S POV Brianna fell asleep in Xander’s arms, but I managed to shed my shirt throughout the night and get her turned back into me, making sure to take a photo of how she laid across my chest to look at later. When she woke up her light groans instantly perked up the tension in my pants, which she brushed against while stretching. “Morning Sugar,” I had to contain my laughter when she practically jumped up and over me, half tripping before I caught her arm as she stood up. “I’m gonna…” she looked around as her voice trailed off, “take a shower.” “Is that an invite?” I half sat on the bed, as Xander started to stir. “No!” She scolded me, but no matter what her voice sounded amazing. She grabbed whatever she
XANDER'S POV CON'TWhen we got downstairs Alaric was already standing in the front entrance, waiting to receive Alpha Kallan, refusing to even glance in Brianna's direction. I could tell her presence bothered him as he stiffened, and it wasn’t long before he was mind linking me, scolding me for bringing her, but he knew just as well as we did that we couldn’t have left her unattended up there just in case.When Orion showed him in, I was relieved to see that he brought his Luna, but he was massive. Larger than most Alpha’s, he towered over his Luna although she looked unphased by him, and from the stories we’d heard, they were very much in love.“Alpha Kallan,” Alaric stepped
ALARIC'S POV CON'T“Sabre,” Octavia laughed as she closed the gap between them, running her hands up his chest, “let Kallan back out please,” she whispered and his eyes dulled to their normal green colour, now swirling for her. “I already knew about the bracelet, I’m being careful and I’m fine, promise.” She kissed him on the cheek as his demeanour returned to normal and she walked over to where we stood with Brianna, holding out her hand for Brianna to take.“I’m so sorry, we’re expecting again,” she smiled, “so Kal’s a bit more… protective.”“Congratulations,” I heard Brianna’s voice break the tension as she offered her hand without the bracelet, an
OCTAVIA'S POV CON'TBrianna hesitantly placed her hands in my own, I could feel her wolf inside, and spoke to it briefly, before allowing my hands to drift back to my lap.“There,” I smiled at her, “I can assure you, your wolf has been waiting, impatiently,” I laughed, “for you to let her out, she’s aware of everything you see and hear, and she’s a bit more than anxious to meet her mates.”“Oh,” she hesitated, “can you tell me her name? Does she know that Alaric doesn’t want us? I don’t want her to hurt like I’m hurting.”“She knows,” I couldn’t help but feel a pain in my chest wash over me from her, “and her name, is Artemis,” the pain was instantly re
