***“Oh, wow!” Stan gasped as he watched Philip stand and move to his mate’s side. “He’s gonna do it…” All three men watched with amused excitement as Philip lifted his mate’s chin and kissed him with so much passion.“Do you have any idea how I felt when you shifted and charged at Mary?” Philip whispered against Troy’s mouth when the kiss ended. “You were ready to kill her for me, baby. That was just…” The alpha looked lost for words.“I’ll kill for you without a thought,” Troy murmured. “You’re mine.“Aw, how sweet.” Stan drawled as he stretched out beside Jeremy on the bed. “But you might want to leave the rescuing and fighting to your mate next time. He’s supposed to protect you, not the other way round.”“That’s bullshit.” Ryan snorted. “I vote you whoop this asshole’s arse one of these days, Troy.”“That would be great actually.” Stan grinned. “How about picking me for your combat during the ceremony?”“He’s not picking your bullying arse, Stanislav,” Philip growled. As part of
***“Are you alright?” Jeremy asked his brother for the third time. And just as the first two times, Troy’s answer was the same.“Fine,” Troy muttered.They were seated in the area reserved for alphas and their mates, in the huge arena of Agyemang’s pack-house. The arena was filled with the adults from Agyemang’s pack and invited guests. The ceremony was supposed to be a celebration therefore drinks and scrumptious finger food were in abundance. The after-party was usually even bigger. The atmosphere was charged with excited anticipation. The crowd obviously couldn’t wait for their alpha to become officially mated. But unlike the excited crowd, the alpha of all alphas was clearly worried about his brother.“Troy…” Jeremy groaned.“Listen, that’s the second time I’ve heard your brother say a very false, fine.” Jake T, a seven-foot-tall alpha who was known for his crazy nature drawled. “First of all, young man,” the alpha addressed Troy, “It’s very clear that you’re not fine so can you
***“So he changed the rules.” Troy suddenly felt all warm inside but didn’t know why. He managed to tear his gaze away from his mate’s to look at his friend. His breath hitched in his throat at what he saw. Paul was on all fours, clearly struggling to shift. As a newly turned wolf, that was only to be expected. It would take some time for Paul to be able to shift easily. “Come on…” Troy breathed as he watched his friend. “You can do it…” He encouraged under his breath. “Concentrate…” Troy didn’t see how his own mate was smiling tenderly at him. To Philip, his mate sounded like a mother urging on her child. “That’s it…” Troy couldn’t help the proud grin that widened his lips when Paul shifted into a tawny brown wolf. The wolf's fur had patches of black, white, and gold but the dominant colour was brown. “He’s beautiful.” Troy breathed.It was only after Paul had shifted and started to walk towards where Agyemang stood on the wide stage that the proud-looking alpha allowed his own wolf
***“So…what is going to be your strategy, Lip?” The tall alpha asked as Troy moved away from them to answer a call. “Or our Troy is ready to go through it…” Jake T looked amused.“I’d probably have to edge him to the point of no return first.” Philip drawled. “He’s not gonna do it.”“Aw come on… What’s it with these Stanton boys?” Jake T threw up his hands in exasperation. “Y’all always want to find a reason not to give us a live show when it matters most.” The alphas who heard him burst into laughter.“Fuck off, T.” Jeremy laughed.“Don’t take no for an answer, Lip. I’m looking forward to it.” Jake T muttered. “He has to do it.”“Wait until you find a mate as stubborn as a Stanton.” Philip chuckled. “Then we will see whether your ‘don’t take no for an answer’ kind of attitude,” he gave the phrase air quotes, “will work.” He ignored Jake T’s snort and looked up at the stage when the crowd erupted with whistles and cheers.“Oh my god, I think they’re about to do it.” Troy groaned as h
***Philip entered the chalet assigned to him and his mate shut the door and brought Troy down. His hungry lips were hard and hot on Troy’s even before his mate could find his footing, kissing him deeply and with raw passion. With a hand cradling the back of Troy’s head, Philip shoved him against the wall and plundered his sweet mouth, overwhelming Troy‘s senses in a ruthless assault. Philip knew he had to rein in some control and stop what he was doing…hoped that he would be able to stop.But it was so hard...Troy totally melted against Philip, kissing him back as hard as he was receiving. He was lost in sensations so sharp and raw it felt as if the world was swirling around them. He felt his mate’s hardness against him and wondered exactly when Philip had freed himself. That hard, enormous, jutting evidence of Philip’s desire for him never ceased to floor and excite him. Troy tore his mouth away from Philip’s and sunk to his knees before his handsome and totally captivating mate.“
***“Troy…” Philip breathed shakily as he raised his head to stare into his mate’s lust-glazed-eyed. He looked as if couldn’t believe he’d been given something so precious. He lined his throbbing cock with his mate’s well-prepared hole, his eyes not leaving his for even a second. “I love you,” Philip whispered as he began to slowly push into Troy.The film of tears in Troy’s eyes as he stared up at his mate had nothing to do with the slight pain he felt. He simply felt overwhelmed with emotions. Breath held, he clung to Philip’s shoulder as his tight ring was breached.“Shit, you’re huge.” Troy gasped as he opened his legs wider. For a moment, he wondered whether he would be able to accommodate his mate’s girth.“You knew I was.” Philip pointed out, closing the distance between their lips to give Troy a quick kiss. “Just relax and push out.” He instructed as he sunk deep, his eyes never leaving Troy’s.“Oh, my god…” Troy felt every hard inch of that thick heavy length as it stretched
***Troy didn’t look as if he was capable of speech but his eyes spoke volumes. Philip had never seen that much love and reverence in one person’s eyes…and all for him too. He didn’t think it would have felt any more powerful if Troy had actually told him he loved him that very moment. Seeing that enraptured look in his mate’s eyes was worth all the lambasting that awaited him for breaking the rule. Philip tenderly wiped the streaks of tears on Troy’s temple and then stroked his cheekbones with the pads of his thumbs as he got lost in his mate’s gaze.“Stunning,” Philip whispered, utterly in awe of his mate. “I’m not done with you.” The alpha murmured huskily. “You’re coming for me again.” He flipped them so that he was on his back with Troy on top, still impaled on his throbbing cock. “Now, give me that mouth.” Philip captured Troy’s mouth in a languid kiss as he began to thrust up into him slowly, his hand caressing Troy’s back and arse-cheeks possessively. That devastatingly sweet
***Philip opened his eyes and glanced around the room, wondering what had woken him up. It didn't take him long to figure out that it was the buzzing sound coming from his phone. He would have reached for the phone but his mate chose that moment to snuggle closer against him. Philip's arms instinctively tightened around Troy, his phone, completely forgotten.From the sunlight spilling into the room from under the door of the chalet, Philip could tell it was almost noon. Although he thought it was absurd that he'd actually slept in till that late, he wasn't surprised at all. After fucking Troy throughout the night, they'd both needed their energy and sleep. Philip couldn't stop the grin that split his lip as he looked down at his wanton mate. He'd thought Troy's constant lust was due to being suppressed when he was a teen.But if the sexual demands Troy had made throughout the night was anything to go by, the younger man simply had a really high sex drive. Troy had been insatiable. Tr
