I hate you being away from me, my AlphaRaven's POV From the moment I caught his scent I was overwhelmed with so many emotions but this, this pure intimacy was everything I have been craving and so much more.We didn't need to have sex, or make love, I just needed to be held in his arms, to feel his presence surrounding my body.Taking advantage of his scent, it being fresh and intoxicating compared to his pile of clothes, dirty or clean, that now sat in the corner of my bedroom where I would curl myself into it at night after everyone else fell asleep.I held him tightly, my fingers digging into his flesh as he continued to kiss me deeply, my head tilted to the side allowing him better access as he started trailing the kisses down my chin to my neck, his tongue sliding over my mark sending shivers up my spine at the feel of it.I looked down at where his fingers were, gently moving over the edge of my panty line, watching the goosebumps raise up on my skin as my bottom lip pulled be
The metallic copper scent of blood filling my sensesAxel's POV When I got back to the lookout, Timothy was pacing outside when he spotted me coming up in wolf form. When I got up to him he held out a pair of shorts and a shirt to me as I shifted back.I pulled the shorts on before I started pulling the shirt over my head when he spoke. His tone held a hint of worry before I looked up at him to see his expression holding so much more."Axel, I'm glad your back, how is your Luna holding up?""She will be better when this is all done. But enough with the pleasantries, what's wrong Timothy?"He ran his hand down his face while sighing deeply."They found the cave, they killed a good thirty rogues but no one else was there, they found traces of the others, including the hunters. However, they were attempting to track their whereabouts.""Were attempting?"I felt heart beat spike suddenly when the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I looked at him before hearing a howl making
I apologize for my anger, but you have to understand.Axel's POV Continued Speaking with the hunters as they maintained their footing, no stepping onto my packs territory, when they asked about Victor."I'm covered in him, he killed the Alpha from the pack we combined with then tried to kill me along with my Beta, so we ripped him a part."I know I could have phrased it differently considering he may even have been a friend before he, himself went rogue in a way as well. Thinking back to the way the rogues reacting to his scream of pain when I first sank my teeth through his soft, bitter tasting flesh, I began to see things I hadn't truly noticed as it was all happening.The way they all completely stopped what they were doing, mid fight, mid bite even, as their eyes snapped right to us before they left the positions they were in. They started rushing in our direction, ad if they were attempting to protect him from me, to keep him safe.How can they be connected to a hunter in such a
Through the block, I felt the loss, the tether snappingRaven's POV I may have had my wall up so I wouldn't feel the pain behind the deaths of our people, but when I was watching the cameras, I could clearly see my Uncle.Seeing him on the ground, it was dark but thanks to my insane eyesight because of Luana I could see him better.He was alone, looked to be in such pain as I saw the darkness surrounding him letting me know it had to be his blood pouring from his body.I had seen it, the man stepping out from the shadows behind him, a glint of metal shining through the moonlight when I saw his back arch before he turned to kill a rogue on his left side.He dropped then crawled to the side, my mind racing as I witnessed it all unfold when I saw Lucian gliding through the fighting as he made his way to Uncle David. Relief filling me briefly when I saw him nudge at him with his snout before he suddenly shifted, gripping my Uncle instantly before he fell to the side.My heart began to th
Let's get you in your bed my little prince charmingRaven's POV Continued After everyone left to head back to their own spaces, honestly the suite felt a bit lonely and quiet as I walked through the living room where our blankets all still sat around from where we had been huddled together sleeping the last few nights together.I know I hated having so many people here, due to too many scents mixing causing jealousy to ripple through me at Axel's scent being mixed with other women, damn pregnancy hormones, but now the thought of not having the place full of people depresses me a bit.Ayla walked out to find me standing in the living room trying to bend over to clean up when she rushed over to me telling me to stop."Don't do that! I will get all of this, you don't need to be doing anything but sitting down, resting your feet and your back, I know the chairs and cots in the safe room didn't help your back. Hael is in his room, ready for bed and waiting for a story. I will clean this al
It was always cold down here, even on hot daysAxel's POV When I got Luna Kerry calmed down, which definitely was not an easy task, my heart was shattered for her. Losing Alpha David the way she did, unable to see him for days at a time and then to feel that tether snap, I honestly don't know how she is even functioning right now.I tried to get her to go up to stay with Raven but she refused, she went to see Bella, they had become quite close over the time she has been here. She wanted to be with her at the hospital while she waits on news about Isaac and her daughter called her crying.So many emotions were knocking into me making me feel almost breathless when my warrior, Byron, mind linked me about Luke, he was guarding him and said that he tried to off himself instead of being tortured by the likes of our kind.I felt my rage hit, like a brick slamming through all the sadness I had sitting inside of me, pushing it aside when red took over my vision making me rush from the house,
If I didn't know any better, it felt as if her fingers were running over meAxel's POV Continued When I got home, seeing her, I was filthy but couldn't wait to get upstairs to her. I knew she wouldn't be to happy if I showered in the shared bathrooms either so I risked it coming up. Seeing her expression when she saw me made me regret it a bit though, she looked like she was struggling not being sick.I knew it was probably bad, but since I was in it all for so long, honestly, I didn't really smell it any longer. However, with her heightened senses being ever strong due to the pregnancy, I can only imagine what was going through her mind when she told me to shower and throw my clothes into a bag, emphasized the part where I needed to tie the bag up making me want to laugh but I held it in.Her face looking a bit worried, I was contemplating what to say about Luke, also how to say how sorry I am about David. She lost her Uncle, her last link to her family, the one that truly knew who
You will NOT be going down into that placeRaven's POV This pregnancy has been insanely different for me. The way I wish to ravage my mate, continuously mark him when I'm turned on, as if he isn't already mine. It's as if my body wants to make the mark more pronounced for every moment he isn't by my side, so I know, others know, he's taken.I passed out rather quickly after we were together, exhausted and my body was highly sensitive so all his tiny touches or grazes on my naked skin had me wet again, but feeling his breathing even out, knowing he wasn't leaving me this time, my body melted into his as I fell asleep. I slept better than I had in such a long time, just having him close was all I ever needed. I could see that the sun was peering through the curtains but I groaned, rolling over burying my face into his chest when he chuckled at my actions.I felt his hand slide up my arm before he pulled back from me, brushing my hair from my face as it tickled my shoulder as it rolled
