Dante’s POVI sensed Cassidy’s presence behind me. "Alpha Jalen, Alpha Dante." I didn't turn around. "Can I speak to you alone?" she asked quietly. "Look Charity, I prefer that his mate doesn't kill me, so that's going to be a no-" "It's okay, Jalen," I assure him. He stood with his hands up defensively. "If Angel finds out, just tell her I had nothing to do with this shit." He walks towards the bathroom. "Fuck, who am I kidding, she's going to kill us both," I heard him mumble underneath his breath. I turned to Cassidy. "What do you want?" I asked harshly, narrowing my eyes. "I hope you're not here to disrespect my mate again." She frowned, emotions unspooling in her green eyes. "I'm not. I just never got the chance to give my condolences for the loss of your father." "Oh, uh thanks." I play with the shot glass in my hand, swirling the liquid around. She was quiet for a long moment before she spoke again. "You know, At first, I was really pissed to hea
Angel's POV I walked through the field of lavender wearing a sleeveless royal-blue midi dress. The sky was dark and cloudy, the wind whipping at my exposed skin. I looked around, but she wasn't there. I wondered if she would pop up like a jump-scare again. "Mom, where are you?" I shouted. Closing my eyes, I tried hard to remember the woman I last dreamed of. "Mom, I need to know where you are so I can save you!" A long moment passed, but there wasn't any indication that she was there. "I need your help, please appear if you can hear me!" I pleaded to the heavens. One heartbeat passed. Then two. "Angelique," her euphonious voice rang in my ears. I opened my eyes and there she was standing right in front of me. There were tears brimming in her warm, golden eyes. "You're here," I whispered, a small smile forming on my lips. She smiled proudly. "I knew you would find your powers." But then her face quickly contorted with fear. "I don't have much time, he will d
Angel’s POVAfter breakfast was finished, the pack members including all our guests gathered for my ceremony. I was in shock by the beautiful sight in front of me. There were at least 500 plastic, white chairs lined up in rows with bundles of lavender tied to the backs of each one. An aisle runner led to the altar, purple rose petals sprinkled along the sides of it. The arch was made of lavender, lupines, and lilacs. Everyone stood from their seats and faced us as Dante grabbed my arm and walked me down the aisle. My legs turned to jelly, but thankfully I had him to hold on to. "Why are you nervous, princess? You were born for this," he whispered in my ear. Yes Angel, we were born for this! We are a red wolf, stronger than any Alpha alive could ever dream to be, Kira chimed in. They were both right. Besides, this was a cakewalk compared to the shit we had to do tonight. I took a deep breath, held my head up high, and strode the rest of the way to where Joyce was w
Dante's POV Once we reached the Alpha floor, I picked Angel up and she straddled my waist as we went into our bedroom. Since people were beginning to fill the house downstairs, I closed and locked the door so we wouldn't be interrupted. "Be careful with the dress," she reminded me. "That's okay, I won't need to take it off," I growled, placing her on the dresser. I hiked it up around her hips, quickly zipping down my pants before slamming into her. She moaned into my mouth as I began to move my hips slowly. She felt so good; so wet and tight for me. "I love you so much, Angel," I mumbled against her lips. "I love you too, Dante." Her voice is low and sensual. Hearing that made my heart warm. I didn't expect to get married tonight, but I was so fucking happy that she wanted to. She was finally all mine in every way, forever and always. I thrusted up into her g-spot with long and painfully slow strokes. To be inside her was a completely different joy all in itself.
Dante’s POVAfter the song was over, Angel and I managed to slip out of the party without being seen and headed to the clearing to meet the others. Peach, Mya, Cassidy, and Noah were already waiting for us in their wolf forms. "This is the plan. We're going to rescue Angel's mom and whoever else he's holding captive in that hideout. We need to figure out how to get in there by morning when the fighting starts, so Cass, I hope you're ready to do some hacking." She nodded, motioning with her head to the large bag strapped on her back. Angel took the bottle of Moonshine and began spraying it all over each werewolf ending with me and herself. "Well just fuck us, right!" Rashaad and Akira marched into the clearing. Jalen trailed behind them with a guilty look etched on his face. Rashaad was absolutely fuming while Akira just looked mildly displeased. "So...you're just going to get yourselves killed without telling us?" he shouted. Angel frowned at me. "You didn't tell them?"
Angel's POV My blood ran cold as we carefully walked through the cave. There was silence besides our footsteps and the distant sound of the waterfall. Rashaad led the group while everyone else surrounded me. Noah was the only one still in wolf form, ready to attack anyone who dared to touch me. I couldn't push away the feeling that something was wrong. Like this was too easy. Why weren't we being attacked? Dante? I mind-linked him but received no response. "Guys, I can't reach Dante," I whispered loudly. "I'm not surprised. The walls are lined in silver," Cassidy said, "we won't even be able to communicate with each other through mind-link in here." Kira growled. We shouldn't have gone without our mate! I know Kira, I'm anxious too, but we're going to be fast. "So, we're definitely not splitting up then," Rashaad said, "I mean, we've all watched Scooby-Doo, right? That would be the worst idea ever." "He's got a point," Peac
Angel’s POVA figure came of the shadows, red eyes piercing through the darkness. He was tall with espresso brown skin and long, black dreads. His nude body was rippled with unnatural muscles, even his ankles were bulging with them. He held a silver blade to Dante's throat while maintaining a tight hold around his neck. Kira lurched forward in my mind, ready to tear them apart, but I pushed her back. Growls erupted all around me, everyone's instincts kicking in from the sight of their Alpha in distress. "Don't attack," I said sternly. They only wanted me, so they had nothing to lose killing Dante. More wolves appeared. There was one I recognized, Justin. His hand was gripping Akira's neck while holding a knife at his side. He forced Akira down onto his knees, but he only looked down at the ground. There was not a single trace of fear in his calm and collected features. Noah growled at his brother. He sneered in response. "I'm just finishing the job that you c
Dante's POV "Alpha, are you okay?" Peach asked softly. She was staring at the dark liquid pooling from my wound. "No, he's not okay. We're all going to die!" "Shut up, Rashaad," Akira hissed. I ignored their bickering and even my own searing pain, focusing on the only thing I cared about. My mate and pups were in danger, and there was nothing I could do about it. We were all chained up to the floor in a black van heading back to North Carolina. Jett, David, and Angel rode in a separate van that was leading the way. He sent the rest of his army on foot. I knew Jett wouldn't try to touch her until the mating ceremony, but just knowing that he was alone with her drove me fucking crazy. There was no way I was letting her go through with this. I'd rather die than let her be raped and mated with the devil himself. The sound of Katherine's moans snapped me out of my thoughts. "Angel," she whimpered. "
