My head feels fuzzy as I wake up. I’m trying to remember what happened. Valen found me that much I remember. Did he knock me out? My eyes flutter open, and I realize I’m in a bed. I also realize I’m in my bra and panties, but I’m covered with the comforter of the bed. I slowly sit up to take in my surroundings. I’m in a hotel room. I find Valen sitting on the navy blue loveseat, watching TV with a tray of food next to him. Valen looks over at me, but says nothing. “Where are we?” I ask, breaking the silence “A hotel. Graven needed to rest. We drove nonstop to get to you before you decided to change locations again.” He answers. Suddenly, I realize my neck was sore, my hand goes to rub it, and I feel the slightly healed bite mark. “You marked me?” I ask in disbelief. I thought I had dreamed him forcibly marking me, but I guess I didn’t. “You gave me no choice when you started to run from me.” He simply replies as if it’s somehow my fault he forcefully marked me. “I ran because
In the morning, I wake to being snuggled with Valen. Last night we weren’t cuddling because we were mad at one another. Sometime in the night, I must have subconsciously gave into my bonds craving for him. I have my leg over his legs, and my arm lays across his chest. If I wasn’t upset with him, I’d be happy about this. I can’t help it when I rub myself against him as my heat slowly begins to creep over me. Shit, it’s going to be here within hours. “You keep doing that, Little Omega, and I will fuck you,” Valen grumbles as he wakes from his sleep. “Maybe that’s the point.” I counter as my fingers stroke his chest hair. “You are going into heat, aren’t you?”“Yes, which is why I was wondering if we could stay here until I’m done,” I suggest. I don’t want to go back to the den anytime soon, and like some time to figure out what his plans are with me. That’s if I’m not too distracted by my heat and lose focus. “Why so you can have a chance to run again?” Valen growls. “What?” I sit
Wren looks horrified at what I just told her. She had no idea she was committing slow suicide. I’m sure she thought she would find a way to survive without me, but that’s not how the fated mate bond works, especially for an omega. So little is openly known about it, and I wonder why. I wonder how many omegas had a fated mate that sent them away, knowing the omega would die. I wonder how many omegas have run from their fated mates like Wren, thinking they would survive. I never questioned why fated mates were a myth, but what if they never were? What if there was a time that fated mates were all there ever was, and chosen mates didn’t exist? I find myself questioning the history behind the supposed myth of fated mates. They are thought to be rare, but maybe they aren’t. After all, Graven found his fated mate, and so did Alpha Ian. That’s three of us in one generation that I know about. Wren comes closer to me, and I pull her into my arms so that she is straddling me. “I shouldn’t hav
We spent the last few days enjoying Wren’s heat. All we did was fuck, eat, and sleep. Now that Wren is done with her heat, we can finally head home. I know Graven is itching to get home and see his mate along with his pregnant breeder, who I think he’s grown attached to. Graven has talked about letting his two other omega’s he has as sex slaves go when the time comes to set them free and keeping Candi as a permanent breeder. Apparently, Candi and Anisa get along well together, and they also enjoy sex together and with Graven. I was surprised when Graven discussed setting the other two omega’s free. When I first bought the idea of taking away the auction, he was against getting rid of his omegas. I think Candi would stay with Anisa and Graven. I’ve met her a few times now, and she does seem to fit into Anisa and Graven’s relationship. Candi is a little over a month pregnant. She got pregnant her last heat, and I hope Wren got pregnant this heat. While Graven seemed open to letting hi
The following morning I wake up to panic coming through the bond. I open my eyes and see Wren sitting up, looking around the room as if she is in some new prison. Okay, maybe locking her in the den wasn’t the best move. However, at the time, I didn’t fully know what she was to me, and I was terrified of something happening to her. I also didn’t know if I could trust her. “What’s wrong?” I ask as I sit up next to her. “Where are we? This is the den.” “We are in my room, well, our room,” I answer with a yawn. I definitely didn’t get enough sleep. However, I did sleep well. I slept like shit while Wren was gone. “You mean, I’m upstairs. I was never allowed upstairs before.” “You are allowed anywhere in the house. You just can’t leave it, and it’s not because I’m being an asshole. It’s safer if you stay in the house unless you are with me until I announce you to pack as my mate. You know what would happen if a guard, warrior, or any other high-ranking wolf caught you wandering ar
Valen leaves, and I hate that he’s gone even though I know he’s just going to the office. He has a lot of work to catch up on, and I have to get used to the fact that he has responsibilities as Alpha Supreme. I decide to order groceries so I can start cooking for us. I can’t go back to frozen meals. Besides, when I was with the rogues, I enjoyed cooking with them. It reminded me of when I would help Rosa in the kitchens. I enjoyed learning to cook. My parents died when I was young, so it when Rose offered to teach me how to cook, I felt like it was something I would have done with my mom. Once I order groceries, I focus on shopping for some new clothes. Guilt eats at me that Valen has to buy new clothes again. He was generous the first time, but my clothes got left behind when he came for me. I can’t be presented to the pack wearing an omega dress, and I can’t walk around the pack in one either. They would not respect me either, and getting their respect will be hard enough. I simp
After Graven and I discuss the whole chosen mate thing, I end it with I’ll think about it even though I’ve already made up my mind. I’m not going to do it. The pack will have to accept Wren, and that’s that. I’m not going to mess up our bond and add another, especially when neither of us swings that way. It works for Graven and Anisa because they do swing that way. I mention to Graven about having dinner with Wren and to bring Anisa and Candi. This is where I finally inform him that Candi is friends with Wren. Graven doesn’t seem surprised, so I wonder if he already knew. Either way, he agrees to dinner. I’ll let Wren know so she can decide if she wants to cook or go out to eat. I know Wren isn’t Graven’s biggest fan, and he’s clearly not hers. However, they have to learn to tolerate each other on some level. Not just because Graven is my Beta and Wren my mate, but because they are two important people in my personal life as well. I don’t need them to be best friends, I just need th
I knew when I got the call from Wren’s boss that she had disappeared from work that Alpha Valen had found her. I had my suspicions that he would eventually come for her not because he cared about Wren but because he wouldn't want to risk being cursed by the moon goddess. Alpha Supremes tend to be superstitious. They don’t want to risk losing their title and all the power that comes with it. When I first found Wren wandering the natural city, I thought she was just another omega who ran from their pack looking for a better life. She wouldn't be the first I found, and she won’t be the last. Wren clearly stood out from most of the omegas I take in. She was dressed nicely, she had a duffle bag filled with nice clothes, and she had money. Most omegas are lucky they got away with the clothes on their back. Wren piqued my interest. Maybe she came from a wealthy pack which she did, but nothing shocked me more when she eventually confessed she was the fated mate of her Alpha Supreme. Not jus
