Tori’s POVI’d never been undressed so lovingly or so slowly. Lying on my back beneath him, I felt worshipped, cared for and wholly alive.“If you’re sure?” I whispered.The tenderness which followed had me emotional all over again.“Vanilla’s my new favourite,” he told me afterwards.“Thanks for not … reminding me.”“We need to banish those bad memories but I won’t rush you.”“I still owe you that favour.”“More than one. I found Carrie, didn’t I? Let’s see, what should I ask of you?”I tensed.“Please don’t assign me to Mel.”“That will never happen,” he assured me. “I know. Tell me what you think of me.”“You’re my employer.”“And?”“Good looking.”“Better than Archer? Come on, we have to talk about him sometime, or you’ll bear the scars forever.”“He didn’t mark me in any way. Yet he was cruel.”“And handsome?”“I kept wondering why the Moon Goddess had granted him a face like that. I don’t want to think about the rest of him.”“You’re doing great, Tori. And Rhodes?”“The one who
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Six - Too Much Information
Calvin’s POVI wanted to laugh out loud as the mirrored room showed me how flustered Tori was by that statement.“Tell me more, Ursula,” I said.“Ignore him. He’s being a dick.”“Hey, may I remind you I’m the Alpha here?” The other she-wolf stiffened. “Don’t worry, I won’t punish her in front of you,” I added. Though it was tempting I had no desire to hurt either of them.“Some leader I was,” Tori commented.“It was very brave,” Ursula told her.“I totally agree. But you’re not here to compliment my employee or even to perform with her in front of me.” That was one reason I’d specified casual dress. For both of them. “I’m not that kind of Alpha.”“With respect, Alpha Calvin, in my experience everyone’s that kind of Alpha given half a chance.”“What happened to you?” Tori asked. “I thought the women were taken to safety.”“The Mistress acted quickly, directing some of us to the hidey-hole. It’s where VIPs go so as not to be discovered.”“So raids are frequent then?”“Three times a yea
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Seven - Truth And Lies
Tori’s POVThe Alpha was being a dick. But I wasn’t scared. I knew we would end up staying the night here, where we began. It wasn’t quite the same at the packhouse where I felt like some sort of concubine.Ellie had tried to tell me I was exclusive and that I shouldn’t feel that way. But the mating ball was looming and I knew my hold on him would be limited after that.I didn’t even know if I was invited. Yet, having tentatively agreed to join North Shore, the handover terms of which were still to be negotiated with Alpha Joseph, I supposed I must attend. It would look bad otherwise.Maybe Alex would turn up. In which case I should definitely make myself scarce that day. And I couldn’t bear to see Calvin claim another. Yet what if there was a chance I would find my fated mate, too? I was really torn.Now who’s being a dick?Bethany was convinced she and Thaddeus were meant to be together. I suspected the Alpha’s wolf was just using her. Like me.I picked up the panties and went into
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Eight - Rage
Calvin’s POVI came very close to admitting the truth. The past few days there was an ache which not even controlling my sub could alleviate. I knew pain in its purest form and it didn’t sit well.My frustration needed an outlet.The Moon Goddess must have heard me. Because when Glenn mind linked me two days later, at first I couldn’t believe it.“Rhodes is long gone,” I insisted.“You asked me to alert you if he showed up and he has.”“Where’s Tori?”“Alpha, you’re not going to like this. She agreed to see him.”“Fuck,” I said. “Keep an eye on them, will you?”“Easier said than done. She asked for privacy.”“I take it you’re monitoring the room?”“Naturally.”“Thanks, Glenn. I’ll be there soonest.”When I drove the short journey to Still Water, her stepbrother had gone, leaving Tori a shaking mess. My Delta was consoling her in the courtyard and, from where I was standing, he wanted them to be more than just friends.A growl emerged but it didn’t come from me. Mel launched herself at
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Forty-Nine - The 'Remus' Effect
Tori’s POVI had my sister back and it was all thanks to her becoming involved in the club. Naomi needed her own assistant these days, for the very new side of things, and they got on really well.I didn’t quite grasp why until later.The Sigma was now dividing her time between here and the brothel and we had some uproarious supervision sessions. That girl had no filter. She plied a good needle, too, but soon knew better than to mention that wretched Luna gown.Then she went where Ellie had feared to tread.“Tell him how you feel.”“He’d want to keep me forever as his mistress and I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”“I’d be happy to play second fiddle for a guy like that,” Ursula said. “He’s hot.”The Alpha entered the office without knocking. Well, it did belong to him.“Am I interrupting something?”“Supervision. We couldn’t hold it downstairs because Naomi’s doing the same thing with one of her girls.”“Did you mention you’d be here, Tori?”“Sorry, Alpha Calvin. I forgot.”“Well, you
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty - Contemplating A New Beginning
Calvin’s POVThe night before the mating ball I prayed as I had never prayed before, apologising to Goddess Selene for not paying her enough attention in the past. The Moon deity remained as silent and mysterious as ever.In contrast to my well hidden depression, Thaddeus was buoyant, and I used him as a front. It wouldn’t be the first time.Maybe I could reject her, my fated mate, causing controversy and making my late father angry enough to rise up from his resting spot and howl. If I chose another it couldn’t be Tori. My plan to make the pack accept her by accommodating her within it on the pretext of her still being in danger had backfired since many believed she had caused Mel’s death. So what if she was a psychopathic murderer.They were an unforgiving lot at North Shore yet I had to listen to them if I were to remain Alpha. I did think about handing over the reins to Glenn and stepping down early in order to run my rapidly expanding club. But my conscience wouldn’t allow it.In
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-One - The Luna
Tori’s POVIt felt as if my heart was being torn apart, piece by piece. Fran was innocent, yet I’d wondered, as had Calvin. I could see the speculation in his eyes. His expressions were becoming as familiar to me as my bestie’s and I knew there was something wrong.My catch up with Ellie was brief and concerned mainly with the state of Naomi’s health. Then she took me to her locker and changed into street clothes before she drove us back to the packhouse.“You are still coming tonight, aren’t you, even though you’ve found your mate of choice?” I teased her.“If I must.”I knew she was self-conscious about how she looked in a long dress and wanted to put her at her ease. She needed to shine sometime, which was what I told her.The Beta delivered the Alpha’s summons in person. I kicked off, saying, “Why didn’t he just text me?”“He’s forgotten your new number.”The mobile he’d bought me was yet another reminder of him. I knew a mind link was out of the question until I officially joined
Of Beasts and Heartbreak Chapter Fifty-Two - Hard To Take In
Calvin’s POVI needed to get away for a while, if only to hide my un Alpha-like emotion. Elation was mixed with the sudden urge to weep with relief and I couldn’t allow anyone to see me in such a state. Who was this she-wolf to unman me like this?The woman I loved beyond reason or sense.She was enormously fragile and could break at any time, despite the tough front. And I’d used her like a booty call. Mom would be ashamed of me, my father less so; in fact, he’d have probably cautioned me against claiming her.I phoned Isabel to let her know the good news. It was Guy who answered her mobile. She was having one of her spells and I was disappointed to learn that she may not be fit enough to come to our wedding. I told him I would delay the ceremony and insisted he bring her to stay for a while.Pulling rank could be useful sometimes. No, make that every time.I should probably have insisted Issy make the effort to attend the ball as I knew how much music cheered her.“You’ll be next,”
