Chapter 22CharlotteRiley and I watched with bated breaths as Naja and his brothers all disappeared around the bend. As if on autopilot, I inhaled a deep breath. I was starved for oxygen and hadn’t known it. Fuck, this man had my body and head practically in overdrive. One minute, I wanted nothing more than to jump his bones and beg him to teach me what all the fuss was about. The next moment, I pictured my hands around his thick neck, squeezing the life out of him. What the fuck was he doing to me?It was like my body wasn’t even mine anymore, but an extension of Naja. If that was the case I was truly fucked.Shaking my head to clear the image away. I turned just in time to see Riley doing the exact thing. Hmm, that was odd. I knew I saw her make an instant love connection with Naja’s little brother. Was it a mate connection? I wasn’t sure. It would explain how Riley was so connected to the moon goddess. Things were becoming even more complicated than I realised. I was just about
Chapter 23 I probably shouldn’t be doing this. Shouldn’t take advantage of Charlotte like this, but I could smell her arousal. Fuck I saw the need in her eyes, and my cock was like steel, pulsing against my stomach. My nostrils flared as I inhaled her sweetness; she was soaked, and I didn’t have to touch her to know it. I rose to sit beside her as she glanced at my shaft for the first time, and her eyes went wide with fear as she saw how thick and big I was. I knew this was her first time. There was no other scent besides Riley’s lingering on her skin. Besides, if there was, I would have hunted and killed the man who had the balls to touch what was mine. My wolf growls in my head at the thought of another man touching our mate. That would never happen. I maneuver myself to sit against the door and grab her by the waist. She shrieks as I lift her to straddle my lap. I probably should be gentle, but the need to feel her wrapped around me as I thrust in and out of her tight little bod
Charlie Prologue I rolled the window down and felt the breeze swept through my hair, blowing my ginger curls haphazardly across my face. I couldn’t wait to feel the call of nature, the scent of pine cones filling my lungs. I have been literally dreaming of this place for a year. Never seeing the entire picture but snippets of things here or there. I did not know why this place was so important, but the ache in my chest intensified the closer we got to Colorado. I was anxious, almost terrified there would be nothing there-----that this trip would be all for naught. It was difficult getting my parents to agree to go camping in the mountains of Colorado. We are from Delaware City people and my dad is black and my mom is white. I grew up knowing that black people didn’t camp. I know it sounds absurd. It was the excuse my dad use every time I ask “Charlie black people don’t camp.” Let's just say it took months to plead my case for this trip. They kept thei
Chapter 1 Naja I strode into the room, without knocking, the two guards posted at the door, bent their head in submission as I swept past them, I was considered to be the crazed Alpha, no one wanted to piss off, considering I ripped the throats out the last three men who played a part in the murder of my parents, which pissed me off—one being my uncle, Micah. My pack the Crescent Moon, has been in the Colorado mountains for the last five hundred years. Spanning generations of alphas with unique abilities passed down from father to son. Micah, my father’s brother, his beta, his right hand. He had my parents killed because he thought he deserved to be the Alpha, even though he wasn’t the eldest with the blessing of the moon goddess gift, the Alpha with the special abilities meant to lead the pack Nor did he face my father in a fair fight. He paid goons loyal to him to gun them down like animals. He kept me, and my two brothe
Chapter 3 Charlie I peeled my eyes opened, gasped as the wash of morning light blinded me to my surroundings. I blinked rapidly, desperate to adjust to the stinging pain developing behind my lids. “BOOM, BEEP, BOOM, BEEP, CRUNCH.” I jolted at the loud crashing noise, echoing in my throbbing head like a surround sound of an amphitheater. What the hell was that? Pain exploded in my head as the sounds got louder as if that was possible. Valiantly I tried to cover my ears with my arms, however, they refused to budge. Sheer panic gripped me as I spied them tied to the bed rails. Along with my feet and head, I was strapped to a bed, unable to move. What the fuck! Why were my hands, feet, and head tied? Did I try to hurt someone? Frustrated tears welled up as the pain in my skull increase. I closed my eyes, mentally calming myself, counting to ten in my head, before I opened them once again. A quick perusal told me I was
Chapter 4 Charlie “Next,” the stocky nurse with the shiny, bald, cone-shaped head shouted. The sweat running down his face reminded me of iridescent glitter sparkling in the sunlight. Think Edward from Twilight, glowing luminescent skin, except for the fact that it was just his head. For two minutes, I was lost in the magic of his alien-like features. His flat nose pointed Elvin ears that were not a prop from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The idiot actually had his ears done—body dysmorphia seemed to be common in this place. I stared, mesmerized, transported to another plane of existence. This wasn’t the first time this weirdo transfixed me. I felt like he was telepathically trying to tell me something. Fuck if I knew what it was. He never spoke, but just stared at me with this odd look in his hazel eyes. Or maybe I was turning into one of these loony bins. Legolas was probably the average weirdo with mommy issues. I must remind him
Chapter 5Naja“Naja, come quick,” my brother Kyle says telepathically as I rushed from my office. Relief fills me, paperwork spilling along my desk forgotten in my haste to escape. It was the part of being Alpha I detested the most. Give me murderous wolves any day. Anything but paperwork. Maybe the problem was the pack and their insipid need to complain about everything under the moon. Goddess, forgive me, but sometimes I dreamed of ripping each one of their throats out every time they insist that Micah would have granted their stupid request.My father goddess rest his soul was a fucking saint to take their bullshit on a daily basis. I had been Alpha for ten years and already I wanted to claw my eyes out every time Mrs. Hankshaw showed up with her weekly complaints. Mr. Hankshaw was a day away from facing me in a deathmatch.I raced outside in time to see Kyle half carrying, half dragging an injured Samuel. My youngest brother had a penchan
Chapter 6 Samuel I hobbled all the way to the med bay. Kyle was his usual helpful, non-talkative self. The fucker could have swept me up honeymoon style and singled handily make the trek in less time than it took for him to hoist me half on half off his shoulders. I have seen the asshole bench press weights three times my size without breaking a sweat. No, he preferred to assist me with brooding silence, which spoke volumes. This was another long mark in my book of disappointments. No wonder Naja was angry he practically threaten to kill me. I deserved it everything his sadistic mind can think up. If he wanted to snap my neck like a twig or rip my throat out as he so elegantly put it. After all the times, he turned a blind eye to my stupid decisions, thinking rightfully so that it was just a phase. I had been a sullen pain-in-the-ass handful. During his explosion, I desperately wanted to shout have at it put me out of my misery. Strangely, I kept my
