Her mother had been acting strangely for the past couple of days. Lilly watched as her mother looked out of window touching her neck. She’d never noticed the marks on her neck before. Two dark points were highlighted against her neck.“Mom, are you okay?” Lilly asked.“I’m fine, dear. What’s it like being sixteen?”“Fine. Mom, what’s going on?” She watched as her mom moved toward the back door.“Nothing. I’ve got a little gift for you.”Her hand went to the door knob. Lilly watched the door open slowly. She knew if her mother opened that door something bad was going to happen.“Mom, what’s going on? Please, shut the door.”It was night, and her father had told them both to stay in at night. The city wasn’t safe no matter the time of day.“Nothing is going to hurt us. You’ll see.” “Mom, no,” Lilly said.The door opened, and she screamed.The dream broke apart.“Wake up, Lilly.” Scott stood over her.Pulling away from him, Lilly scrambled to her feet. Her parents were stood looking at h
Scott stared at the river several days later. He’d spent every night sleeping next to his mate but not doing anything other than holding her in his arms. Darcy, Nathan, and Lewis were preparing for the other creatures to come to Grace Hill. Along with the planned visit, humans had wandered into their town. They were currently staying inside the only hotel available for them. He didn’t like them being in his town or near his mate. One of them from the group was paying a lot of interest in Lilly. She didn’t encourage him, but she didn’t shoot the other man down either.With the other sectors arriving every chance he’d tried to talk with Darcy ended up being interrupted. The meeting took precedence over his human mate, and even as he thought the words they irritated him. Lilly was human, but she was his mate. Lori was on his case, and he’d given her far too many warnings.You’re being light on her because she was a regular fuck until your mate came along.What mate? She was human.“Why a
Scott understood why she needed to get away after watching Matthew with his mate. The chemistry sizzling between the couple was hard to witness, especially as their relationship wasn’t getting any better. He didn’t feel closer to her. In fact, he felt farther away from her than ever before.She glanced down at where he held her arm. “Please, let go of my arm.” “We’ll have what Matthew has,” he said.He needed to see the sadness on her face replaced with happiness.Scott was compLillyd to make her happy.Why, fates, why?Ignoring his own turmoil, he cupped her cheek, stroking her soft tender flesh.“We know nothing about each other.”Cupping her face between both of his palms, Scott stared down into her face. Her gaze still refused to meet his. Touching her bottom lip he was struck by the fact he’d not even kissed her.“You know, I’ve not even kissed you yet,” he said, voicing his thoughts. “No, you’ve bitten me, slept in my bed, but you haven’t kissed me yet.”Her gaze went to his lip
The sound of the human male screaming did little to appease Scott’s mind. He’d seen the shock on her face. The bastard touched his woman, and he wasn’t letting him leave Grace Hill. The human should have left without trying to get his woman in the sack.Darcy was sitting with her up in his room.“She’s up here, Boss,” Darcy said.His wolf was still in control. Scott needed to shake the beast off him before he went anywhere near his woman. He’d easily lose control if she started defending the man.You need to go to her. Mark her with your scent.With his hand on the banister, Scott walked up the stairs. The strawberry and vanilla scent grew stronger. Darcy opened the door. His eyes widened as he looked down at his shirt. Scott glanced down to see the blood on his shirt. Pulling the offending article off his body, he handed Darcy the shirt.“Burn it, and burn their shit,” he said.Darcy left without another word. Scott entered his room and closed the door. Lilly stared up the length of
Lilly’s wet naked pussy was rubbing against his cock. It took every ounce of will-power not to push her to her back and fuck her hard.Be a good boy, Scott.He really didn’t want to be good. Being bad would be so much more fun than being good.Tugging on her hair he exposed the delicate flesh of her neck. Her scent surrounded him.I want him.Scott paused as her voice entered his head. Pulling back he stared into her face. She held her gaze from him. He wasn’t in the mood to argue. The only plans he had for the rest of the night was to wipe the sounds of the human’s screams from his mind. The human hadn’t given him a choice. Once the human pushed his beast was released, and then his choices were taken from him. Their secret was imperative. Every species from vampire to witch agreed to hold their secret. The humans who knew about them were kept in places like Grace Hill or were loved ones. If any human ever posed a threat, the rule was they had to be taken out regardless of the consequ
Scott left his mate sleeping as he went down to where his friends were waiting. Lewis, Darcy, and Nathan were sat around his sitting room drinking his expensive whisky. He got the whiskey imported once a month. Being a werewolf meant a lot of strong alcohol passed through their system with no side effects. The stronger the whiskey the more it took hold and gave him the buzz humans got. He liked the buzz the stronger stuff gave him.“Layla’s worried about Lilly. She wants to call or visit as soon as she can.I told her she was in good hands. My word wasn’t good enough,” Lewis said.Folding his arms over his chest, Scott looked among all three men. “What’s with the sombre faces?” he asked.“Crazy Lizzy turned up along with several witches from her coven,” Darcy said.“The strongest?” Scott asked, taking a seat.“Yeah, they’re starting a war with the warlocks, and they don’t want them on this turf while they’re here. Crazy Lizzy is shouting about a breed of species to ruin them all. I do
Scott joined Lori, and together they moved in the direction of the house in the far forest. Over the last few days several witches and warlocks had turned up, along with two other wolf alphas and the leader of the bears next to his.Nathan, Darcy, and Lewis stood outside the house as yelling came from inside.He was thankful the woman at his side remained quiet on the walk up. “What’s going on?” he asked.All three men turned to him. They glared at Lori before turning back to him.“They’re getting pissed with being trapped in the house. We’re waiting for several more bear leaders along with vamps to turn up. Crazy Lizzy almost burnt the place down to the ground earlier,” Nathan said.“What? Why?” Scott headed towards the front door.“She was setting fire to towels. The flame caught the curtain, and instead of putting it out, she watched the pretty colours. Her words not mine,”
Scott waited out in the chilly night for Lilly to finish. He’d spent most of the night inside the diner eating and watching her work. When she bent over he got so many sinful thoughts that he’d spent most of the night rock-hard. Lewis stood waiting with him. Darcy and Nathan had left several hours ago. Their disapproval filled the air around them. The pack were slowly finding out about Lori taking Lilly’s place by his side for this visit. He’d need to have a meeting to explain his decision.The scent of disapproval came off Lewis.“Go on, spill,” Scott said, folding his arms.“I’m not saying a fucking word. I’ve said everything that needs to be said. You know my position, and I’m not backing down from it.” Lewis was waiting for Layla to finish.The other man helped her home safely. With the creatures of the Otherworld present the humans were not safe. In the next twenty-four hours the vamps
