His face darkened, from concerned and confused, to something.. unreadable. I backed away instinctively, but he stood, moving closer, until my back hit the wall and he loomed over me, with an absolutely terrifying look in his eyes. "Who the fuck was your mother?" he asked quietly, his voice sounding dark. I swallowed, pressing myself back against the wall, "A.. Alena," I said softly, my voice trembling. He frowned, that dangerous look still in his eyes, "And what exactly do you know of our previous Alpha?" I stared at him, wondering how that was relevant, but the look on his face made me respond quickly, "I.. not much, only what Dad told me.." I said, and his face grew even darker. "And what did he tell you?" he asked, putting his face closer to mine. "Just that.. that Alpha Asher hunted all the Royals down, and anyone that knew them, including.." He raised an eyebrow at that, cutting me off, "Including your mother?" he asked softly, and I nodded, wishing he'd back down. He seemed t
I sat up straighter then, starting to protest, but Finn ignored me, stepping in and sitting himself across from me. Cole followed a moment later, sitting down beside me and stretching his long, heavily muscled arms along the rim of the tub. "Hello, little mate," he said casually, a smile on his face and mischief in his eyes. Finn grinned at me from across the tub, grabbing my left leg and lifting it above the water. "Is your ankle better now, little wolf?" he asked, studying it, and smiling when I nodded. "We were worried about you, especially when you didn't react well to Thane's mark." He started massaging my legs and feet then, being incredibly attentive. Cole rolled his eyes at him, but his expression turned much warmer when he looked at me, "We would have waited, if it was us, until you had your wolf," he said softly, moving around just a little, so his hand could reach the back of my neck, beginning to massage it softly. I closed my eyes, leaning my head back and exhaling slo
I awoke a few hours later, hearing the doors of my room swing open, then shut again. I could feel Cole and Finn stir beside me too, and lifted my head to see who it was, finding the room was much darker than earlier. I could smell Thane, I realised quickly, his cool, misty, forest scent enticing my nose. His brothers seemed to notice too, grumbling as they looked up. "Are you planning on joining us for your birthday dinner, little wolf?" he asked, standing at the foot of the bed and looking down at me."My.. what?" I mumbled sleepily, the realisation slowly sinking in. 'Of course it is,' I thought to myself, 'That's why I finally have Lisbet!' I felt her warmth then, in the back of my mind where she seemed to be quite comfortable. It was nice, really, feeling her presence there without her being at the forefront of my attention a lot of the time. Comforting, but unobtrusive. That made sense too, I'd never been big on endless amounts of small talk either. Finn and Cole were already p
It was a pleasant night overall, despite Valerie's often unsettling presence, and the rest of them seemed very welcoming. When it finally began winding up, Thane stood, taking my hand with a small smile, lifting it gently until I stood. Cole and Finn also got to their feet, and the three led me towards the back of the house, earning a puzzled expression. There was a seperate set of stairs here, I realised, and as they led me down, Thane spoke softly. "We have some small gifts for you, for later, but we wanted to surprise you, before it got much later," he said, leading me down into a large, multi-car garage. Or, multi-bike garage, given what this one seemed to mostly house. He passed me a helmet, gloves, and leather jacket then, as Cole and Finn grabbed their own, smiling at me as they put them on, mounting a bike each. Thane did the same, before gesturing for me to sit behind him, and moments later, we were tearing out of the garage and onto winding mountain roads at adrenaline ind
I had no idea where I was or where I was going, I just knew I couldn't be in there anymore. It was too much. I kept running, though slowed to a more sustainable pace after a while, as the forest thickened the deeper I ran. My eyes adjusted easily to the clear night, with the almost full moon shining bright in the sky, and I kept going until the shock began to fade. I paused at a large, mossy, fallen stump, sitting down and catching my breath. Leaning forward and rubbing at my face, I shivered sightly in the cold mountain air. It was refreshing, at least, helping me thinking more clearly, which wasn't easy at the moment. I understood why Dad had never told me, no doubt he hoped he'd never have to, but it was still an absolute shock, even if I didn't blame him for it. I felt sick, thinking of what my Mother must have been through. Her own friend had raped her?! And then she'd had to explain it to Dad, and they had me without ever knowing for sure whose I was, before she was killed for
As we pulled into their garage about an hour later, I could feel Thane's tension rising again. I stepped off his bike as soon as he stopped, taking off and handing him back the gear, with a wary look. He still looked angry, I realised, and even his brothers looked unsettled by it. He hung the gear up with their own, "Upstairs. Now," he said shortly, his anger in his voice. He headed straight for the stairs, and the Cole and Finn gestured for me to follow, coming up behind me. They led me upstairs silently, and to one of the bedrooms past mine, which I assumed was Thane's, judging by the way his scent filled the room. Cole closed the doors behind us, making me raise an eyebrow as he locked them as well. They all had very serious looks on their faces, but as I turned to Thane, I took a half step back. He was clearly furious. "I said I'm sorry.." I started, but he growled threateningly, and I stopped, by eyes wide. "Does your wolf know?" he asked, his gaze intense, "Know.. what?" I as
Thane dropped me carefully into the edge of the bed, then joined me, laying in the centre and pulling me on top. I gasped as his hardness pushed against my entrance, and he held my hips firmly, looking up into my eyes with a look full of arousal. "Take it, little wolf," he growled suddenly, and as I lowered myself onto his thick, rock hard cock, his hands moved upwards, teasing my nipples again. I moaned loudly as he pinched them, and he lifted his hips, pushing deeper into me. I heard a tube opening and closing, a hint of strawberry scent reaching my nose, and then Cole's hands were on my shoulders, pushing me forwards as he knelt behind me. My eyes widened as I felt his tip pressing against my tighter hole, and gasped, shaking my head. "No," I said breathlessly, "I don't think I can.." but Thane wrapped a hand in my hair, pulling me down closer to his chest, his cock still deep inside me. "You can, little wolf, be brave. You can take it," he said firmly, and I swallowed, tensing a
I awoke later, feeling Thane stirring underneath me, and opened my eyes, blinking sleepily at him. He didn't seem to notice, as he moaned softly, his eyes still closed. I frowned sightly, realising he looked.. aroused, and then as he moved again, I understood, his cock was rapidly growing hard again, still inside me. I gasped, sitting up and trying to lift myself off him, but his hands suddenly gripped my hips firmly, holding me down. He growled softly, and I gasped again, feeling his cock growing larger still. "Mmmm, good morning, little wolf," he said, his voice deep and husky, full of lust. "Thaaane," I breathed softly, trying to move my hips again, but he held my hips firm, moving his under mine in a way that made me tense, clenching around him. He groaned softly, squeezing his eyes closed for a moment, then suddenly he flipped me onto my back, pinning me down and lifting one of my thighs as he suddenly thrusted deep and hard.I cried out, my pussy clenching around him again as
