The grass folded beneath my paws, bending silently under my weight as I paced back and forth in front of the pond. I kept waiting for Sloane's head to pop up between the bushes even though the sun was still high in the sky. I had been here so long that I had already jumped into the pond multiple times to cool down. My damp fur had reached the stage where it was just barely wet enough that it was now uncomfortable, and I shook my body to encourage it to dry faster. I had never felt so antsy before, especially over a woman. Then again, this wasn't just any woman. Sloane was my woman, whether she knew it or not. I had been dreaming about her for years, and now that I had her, I refused to let go. Yet, I was trapped here in rogue territory, and she was back in her castle, being wooed by the suitors trying to take her from me. My nostrils flared as I took a deep breath, hoping to catch Ethan's scent. When she had shown up at my house and told me that her injuries were because of him,
Ethan Dunn, Night Walker: 12 Points Declan McCoy, Iron Hide: 10 Points Benjamin Reid, Nightshade: 10 Points Tatum Blair, Shadow Paw: 7 points The scores stared back at me as I stood next to the bonfire. It was the end of week one, and I had been trying and failing to escape the festivities to return to Greyson for the past several hours. I just needed to wait until everyone was drunk enough for me to go unnoticed, but either they weren't drinking fast enough or a strong enough liquor. Almost everything had been laced with moonflower extract to help with the buzz, but even then, we had to drink a lot to get drunk. Once we had flooded our system, the buzz could last a while. It just took a long time to get there. During the welcome party last week, it had been about three hours before everyone had been hammered. For now, I was stuck. Pack members and suitors surrounded me as they voiced their excitement over the games with cheering, placing bets, and celebrating the impending mati
As soon as she had reached the cave, I knew. I was acutely aware of her presence, and even with my home being on the other side of the town, I could feel her getting closer. I raced to the window of my room, watching her appear in the gaps between the houses before disappearing again behind them. It felt odd to be staring at her, but I needed to make sure she was safe. It took everything in me not to race outside and walk her back to my house myself, but I also didn't want her to feel like I was smothering her or for her to assume I thought she was incapable of defending herself. I had checked the town thoroughly before returning home for the night, making sure everything was as it should be. We had no visitors in a few days for me to worry about. As I had requested, a group of the townspeople had gone through town and cleaned it up in exchange for the generous paycheck I had cut each of them, and all the street lamps were lit to illuminate her path to me. Sloane was as safe as s
I woke up the next morning warm, comfortable and humiliated.Flashes of last night surfaced of me begging him to let me touch and play with him. I remembered wanting to go down on him to see what he tasted like, but I couldn't remember what happened after. Was it good for him? Did he cum?I wiggled my jaw, unsure what I was expecting as my fast healing would have fixed any strain by now, but I didn't feel anything. Did I block out my first blow job? Was I that bad at it that my mind didn't want me to remember it?"Good Morning," Grey's groggy voice made me freeze, and I pressed my lips together to keep my morning breath away from him."Morning," I mumbled, and he laughed when I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.The toothbrush he had given me for camping was sitting in the holder next to his, and it made me feel giddy to see it there, even though I knew it shouldn't.Everything about what we were doing was toxic because it was temporary and physical. Yet, the more time I spe
Greyson had been right. Even though my body had healed, every time I thought about him, I could feel him inside of me. I could picture him on top of me, thrusting into me, and my cheeks would warm.He had ruined me…claimed me.I was sitting on my throne, overlooking the training field where my four suitors had assembled with their pack. Ethan looked just as disgusted and cocky as ever. Tatum came prepared, dressed in war paint and camouflage, as did the rest of her pack. Benjamin was bouncing on the balls of his feet and sent me an over-enthusiastic wave as he began to do some exaggerated stretching.Declan was different than the others, though. He looked furious. Ready for battle.I wasn't sure what happened to anger him, as the four of them hadn't joined my family for breakfast this morning, but he looked ready to kill.Ellie shifted in her seat beside me, and from the corner of my eye, I watched her glance between Declan and me."Ladies and Gentlemen! It is time for the second chall
I kept my body low as I scanned the pack. The suitors were easy enough to locate among the others, and it didn't take long before I heard his name. Ethan. Sloane made me promise that I wouldn't kill him until after the games, but she didn't say that I couldn't teach him a lesson. She still had to live under the same roof as him for three weeks, and I didn't trust that he would keep his hands to himself during that time. He hadn't before now, and unless someone stopped him, he would do it again. I was itching to get my hands on him. I wanted to see the fear in his eyes when he looked at me and realized I would haunt him for the rest of his short life, ensuring he stayed in line around Sloane. Somehow, he managed to look worse than I had imagined. I had expected someone strong and worthy of an Alpha title, but not… this. He stood tall in front of a row of four different colored flags, yelling orders and positions to his people. His arms showed a bit of muscle definition as he poin
I had thought the lockdown after Greyson slammed into Ethan's vehicle was bad, but this was on another level. We weren't just trapped in the castle but still free to roam.This time, we had all been trapped in the dining hall while the Alphas conversed in my father's office, debating what actions they would take.It didn't matter that Greyson wasn't a threat to me and that I didn't need to be here. As far as they knew, Greyson was the devil and posed a danger to our pack.Yet, knowing that he had been fighting for me was exciting. When I finally heard the report on Ethan's injuries, my heart swelled. His face had been beaten to a pulp, but he had two distinct injuries.The back of his head had been smashed, the pack doctor had pulled pieces of tree bark from it, and Ethan's wrist had almost been shattered.It was hard to hide my smile after hearing that.I wanted nothing more than to run to Greyson and wrap myself around him, kissing him until the world stopped. But I couldn't because
"Come on, come on, come on," I muttered while waiting for my phone to turn on. My mother had left me in my room, not caring if I stayed there with a guard at my door or if I returned to the dining hall.I preferred to stay here, but I knew someone would probably be along shortly to escort me back to the others once they realized I was no longer with my mother. If or when they did, I wanted to be long gone.The device vibrated in my hand, and I held my breath as my background appeared. As soon as I unlocked it, a message popped up, and I had to cover my mouth to hide the giddy squeal threatening to leave me.Greyson: I feel like I should explain, but he had it coming.I pressed my lips together and fell back onto my bed as I stared at the screen.Sloane: Thank you.I didn't know what else to say, but when I saw him next, I was going to show him just how much I appreciated him. Only this time, I would be sober and awake.Greyson: You're not mad?It blew my mind that he assumed I would be
