HAZEL'S POVFour Hours LaterA painful heat jolted me from my slumber. I wasbreathing rapidly and my insides felt like they were burning. The sun was out,I could feel it. I checked the clock on the nightstand, "6:20 am!"Fuck! I only slept for four hours.My body still felt depleted from AstralProjecting. Thanks to Isis I learned how to control it enough to save myfriends, but I would have appreciated it more if the everlasting pain that shotthrough my body was nonexistent."MOTHER FUCKER!" I winced when I triedto leave the bed. Zander was by my side in a second."Kitten, take it easy, " he affixed hishands to my waist and helped to ease me off the bed. I felt the sparks from histouch radiate through my body. A heatwave blanketed my body and I felt my pussytighten."What the fuck! I'm never Astra Projectingagain!" I yelled out.Zander's grip on my waist tightened. I felt theheat from his fingertips burning my skin. "Kitten, it's not because youAstral Projected, Isis came to
I got dressed, Zanderalready left, and he said he had something to go deal with in his office. Thatgave me time to dry my hair. I wasn't in as much pain as before, but myhorniness was still in full effect. Zander said it was because of the heat, andit would get worse as we approached the night. It's the first full moon sincewe've found each other.I entered the dining hall, I was surprised Ididn't get lost. Carson and Gabrielle ran over to greet me."Haze, I'm so happy you're ok, " Gabzthrew her arms around my neck. I giggled and kissed her on her cheek."Lun-Lun, you're my hero, thank you so muchfor rescuing my mate and my sister, " Carson lifted me off my feet."Easy Carson, you don't want to break yourLuna, " I smiled.My eyes landed on the two identical twins smilingat me. As soon as Carson placed me back on the ground, I hustled over to them."Talon, I'm so glad you're alright. We wereso worried, " I jumped in his arms. There were nail marks on his neckstill."I'm ok,
ZANDER'S POV The table fell silent at my command, "Listen up, the full moon is tonight, we have to stay vigilant. Wolves who don't belong to a pack will be on the hunt tonight. We kill all rogues who set foot on our lands today. No questions asked." "Does right now count? Because I see a big dumb rogue sitting around the table." The entire table exploded with laughter, except for me. "Carson, this isn't the time for jokes, besides Rollo is a part of our pack now." Carson's mouth hung wide. "Really?" Rollo questioned. "Yes, I figured since you're mates with my best pack doctor, I will have to keep you around to ensure she doesn't leave with you." Isabelle giggled. "What about my other rogues, will they be accepted too?" Rollo's eyes were pleading. "I'll take the children, 16 and under. We'll talk about the rest later, " I promised him. Rollo gave me a satisfactory smile. Isabelle rested her head on his shoulder, then he placed his hand under the table. I rolled my eyes because
CLEOPATRA'S POVI woke up with my throat feeling like the Saharadesert. The room was dimly lit with scented candles.I stumbled off the bed and grabbed the glass offthe small table in the room. I went to the bathroom sink, filled the glass, anddrank from it four times. My body felt like it was on fire. My palms weresweaty.The heat was here!The blood that ran through my veins burned likelava. I needed to mate; I needed Gerry.I lifted the curtain and peeked out the window. Itwas dark outside, the moon would soon be at its peak."How's my pretty girl feeling?" Gerry'shands wrapped around my waist. Then he shifted his hands and caressed myshoulders. As soon as his skin made contact with mine, a pleasured moan escapedfrom my lips. Heat radiated where our skins met. My knees buckled, and I slumpedinto his arms, "Gerry," I breathed out sultrily.He placed a hand behind my neck and the otherbehind my knees. He lifted me and walked me to the bed. My neck and knees feltlike they
GABRIELLE'S POV"Cupcake, you're awake," Carsonwhispered as he stroked the side of my face.I felt ashamed, Carson now learned that I wasbroken and used. What Mr. Buckwild did to me was my fault. He said that I askedfor it and that I deserved it, wearing those short skirts to school and thosetank tops. He told me I was a tease and that I was provoking him every day in class,with my long blonde hair and my perfect smile and ass.I hated myself for a long time, I tried to killmyself twice. The first time, I overdosed on pain meds, if Gerry never camehome early that day, I would have been six feet under right now. The secondtime, I locked myself in my mom's car and tried to kill myself by carbonmonoxide poisoning. Mom and Dad found me before it could put me to sleepforever.Then the nightmares came. I would relive theincident over and over again. It was an endless cycle of heartache and pain.And after years of therapy, I thought I was fine, until today when I heard thedevil'
HAZEL'S POV"Zander?" I touched the space next to meand felt that it was empty.I checked my phone and saw that it was almostmidnight. I slept through most of my heat. It wasn't as painful as I thought itwould be, but I was hornier than I'd ever been.I wondered if Gabrielle and Cleopatra were alright.But why hadn't Zander come to bed?I arose from the bed and secured my robe around mybody. I slipped my feet into my fluffy-bunny slippers and went on the quest tofind my mate. I tried mind-linking him, but neither he nor Gidian responded.I checked the study, but he wasn't there. Ichecked a few other places that I thought he might be, but still no Zander."Lun... Lunaah!" A young wolf around 20or 21 startled me. I thought everyone was in bed. "What...what are youdoing out here?" His eyes flashed black and then back to brown.What's wrong with him? I thought to myself.His nose flared and he sniffed the air and lickedhis lips. "What's wrong with you and why are you looking at m
ZANDER'S POV"I WANT TO SEE OUR MATE!" Gidian hadbeen irritating me since morning. The sun was up and the full moon wasofficially gone.I had to lock the twins in the cells last night tokeep them from killing each other. I still couldn't comprehend they both sharedChastity as their mate. It was not unheard of for twins to share a mate, but itwas very rare, like once every thousand years rare. I never heard of a sharedmate being a human though! That part's undoubtedly new."Wake up!" I shouted to the sleepingwolves.Talon was the first to open his eyes. "Alpha,where am I?""You don't remember?""I remembered the full moon and then Chastitycame over and then – TOPHER, where the fuck is he?""I'm right here shithead, " Tophersprung to his feet and gripped the bars of his cell. He shook it like he wastrying to break free."Could you two just shut the fuck up!"My head hurt and I hadn't slept in two days, plus my mate probably hated me. Ijust didn't have the energy or the patie
HAZEL'S POVI followed Izzy as she made her way to the beta'sguest quarters. I stayed a few paces behind and I prayed that I would not getcaught. She stopped at the door. She took a few glances around the area, andthen she hurried inside.I walked up to the door and heard Izzy talking tosomeone, Gerry, maybe. Who else could have been in there?"No one can find out about this, Isabelle."Wait! Is that Zander?I placed my ear against the door, I needed to knowwhat they were talking about. The door swung open and I fell on my face."I knew you were following me," Isabellesmirked."So why didn't you say something?" Istood up and brushed off my elbows and knees."Nah! This was way funnier," she giggled.Zander had a stoic look on his face."Goodmorning, Hazel.""Good morning, Zander." Fuck, thetension was suffocating.Isis came marching in, mumbling profanities underher breath. "You know Alpha, I'm going to start charging for my services.""No problem, name your price, " Zanderjok
