ROSE
“What did you have in mind, love?” He asks with a little growl. I can see the silver shimmers of Zeus in his eyes, blending evenly with the cobalt blue. Tyson reaches behind him with one hand and pulls his shirt up and over his head as he approaches the bed, giving me an eyeful of his sinfully sexy torso. I reach out and rub my hands over his pecs and down his biceps, humming in satisfaction as I go. I lean forward a tad and run my tongue up his chest to his neck. I suckle and nip his warm skin on top of his mark, enjoying the intense tingles along my tongue and lips. Those have gotten so much stronger with the completion of our bond.
Tyson’s hands come up to my thighs and slowly runs them upward to my panties, but he doesn’t stop to remove them. He continues up to my breasts and tweaks my nipples through my bra. I let out a wanton moan. Then he snakes his way behind me and unclasps my bra, letting it fall to the floor between us. He kisses
TYSONMaking love to Rose and then fucking Rose in my bed is the best feeling ever! Having my mate, my Luna, in my home, OUR home, is beyond compare. I never really realized how lonely and depressed I have been for the last several years. I know part of that I did to myself. I did close off for a long while, but now… NOW I finally feel complete and whole. Even Zeus is happy, and our grumpy exterior is gradually dissolving away.Cynthia links me that dinner is almost ready, so Rose and I reluctantly get up and get dressed. I can feel Rose becoming anxious at the prospect of meeting our pack members. I know she is worried about being a disappointment because she is human, but the pack will love her. This isn’t a formal thing, and it’ll be a small group. Some of them she knows already. Thomas, Adam, Niall, Amanda and Melinda will be there. But others like those of her security team and my top warriors along with mates and pups will also be there. I want
TYSONThe next few months with Rose living on pack territory flies by and they have been, hands down, the best weeks I’ve ever had in my life, despite all the tasks we needed to get to.I arranged pack movers on day two, not wanting to waste any more time without my mate living with me permanently. Rose and Maddie have officially moved into the Alpha quarters in the packhouse. Rose and Patty had a big cry session, but Rose knows that Patty won’t be alone now. Stanley used this opportunity to move in with Patty on the same day and he’s put his small cottage on the edge of pack territory up for sale.Rose started seeing a pack psychologist to deal with her PTSD and traumas. I think Dr. Garcia has really helped her and despite it only being such a short time into therapy, her nightmares have lessened, and she now has some techniques she can use to overcome a panic attack. Dr. Garcia is helping her work through everything, including being a human in a shifter world, which, shockingly, Ros
TYSON“What’s on your schedule today, babe?” I ask her as she takes a big bite of pancake. She moans out at their deliciousness, and I have to adjust my pants. No matter how many times she does this, I still get hard, even if we’ve just fucked our brains out, which we did prior to coming down for breakfast. Rose’s eyes dart to mine as she grins devilishly while swallowing. I hear Adam and Thomas snicker next to me, knowing what she is doing, but I don’t pay them any attention.“Well, Beta Ben called yesterday and said they’re having a few issues with the hospital and school. Adam, Melinda, Angela and I are heading over there today to see what all we can help with. I haven’t been over there yet to meet Ben and Mary, in person, so I thought we’d handle that. And don’t worry Tyson, both security teams are accompanying us.” Rose assures me. I frown. I don’t want her off territory, but I understan
TYSON“Alpha Cain,” I catch his attention, “please explain why you are here. And stop looking at my mate as if you love her. It is taking everything within me to hold my wolf back.” Cain’s eyes flicker to the floor. He takes a deep inhale.“I guess Rose hasn’t explained our connection?” He asks me.Rose sighs and she seems to snap out of whatever is going on inside her head. “Tyson, he’s Abel’s brother.”“And who is Abel?”“Abel… Abel was… one of the four.” She says quietly and I can smell her tears forming in her eyes. I roar at Cain, and everyone flinches.“GET OUT! HOW DARE YOU COME ONTO MY TERRITORY!!” I yell, but before I can get to Cain, Rose grabs my arm and I feel calmness flowing to me.“Cain never hurt me, Tyson.”“May I explain everything, Rose? At least, my side of things?” Cain asks. Rose nods and pulls me back to her. I sit in my chair holding Rose’s hand and wait.“I am not the first-born heir to my pack, my older brother, Abel was. I’m three years younger than Abel. I w
MADDIE“Come on, Little Alpha! I know you can do better than that!” Garrett encourages me from the sidelines as he watches Trevor and I spar. In the last three months, Garrett and Trevor and to a sightly lesser extent Alpha Cain have taught me how to fight. I went from a level one, with zero experience, to level four quite quickly. Trevor and I leveled up on the same day. I know I still have a long way to go to be considered a master at anything, but it feels good to be able to handle myself. At least a little bit.Trevor gives me a little smirk. Gosh, he’s a cocky twirp, but he’s quickly become my best friend here at Pine Woods. “Yeah, Little Alpha. Show me what you’ve got. I don’t think you’ll win today. Bet ya!” he says with a wink. I grin right back, knowing Infinity wants to win. She’s so dang competitive. I’m not saying I’m not, just not quite like her. She’s a fierce wolf.I pul
MADDIEThis is definitely a large packhouse. Bigger than the one at Pine Woods and opulent to the extreme. The floors are a polished marble that lead to robin’s egg blue fabric covered walls and up to a ceiling that is tiled with gold medallions that surround ornate chandeliers. The entire place is lavish and over the top. Knowing the things that I know about Kent and his way of running his pack, he is living beyond his means and is trying to make himself look wealthier than he is. Although this packhouse was probably built and decorated way before he came into power.The pack members working here are polished and in uniform, like servants in a royal mansion. News flash Kent, you aren’t royalty. They keep their heads down, not speaking, hurrying to do their duties as quickly as possible. They are skittish and I can taste the fear in the air. All signs that Kent abuses his people. The fact that I am not only related to Kent, but that I am his heir, makes me
MADDIE“Crystal, Farah, what are you two doing up here? This is the Alpha’s private floor, and you know that. Go back downstairs.” I look behind me and see the Luna approaching. She is a magnificent sight. Long honey colored hair, big blue eyes with high cheek bones. Slim and willowy with a narrow waist and long delicate fingers. She looks like she belongs on a human runway, modeling the latest fashion, not in a packhouse full of bullies.I see the two girls stiffen at her voice, knowing that they have been caught in the act. They bow their heads to her in submission and respect. Without another word, they move around me and make their way back downstairs.“I’m so sorry about them. They really need to learn boundaries and manners. I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself at lunch, I was a little out of it. I’m Odette, the Luna and your Stepmother. Can I help you unpack, Madison?” She asks with a genuine smile.
MADDIEThe next morning, I am dressed in workout attire and on the field before everyone else, including the full-time pack warriors. I stretch and do some meditative breathing as I wait for the others.“Do you want me to fight with you, Mads?” Infinity asks me.“No. I want to take these prissy girls down a notch, but I don’t want them to know how much of you has awakened. I can probably handle them. But stay close and observe. I will be focusing on my fighting, not what is going on elsewhere.”“Mads, I can feel eyes on us, right now. But I can’t smell anything just yet.” She tells me. I heavily sniff the air and she’s right; I don’t smell anything different than the overall smell of the pack. But I feel the eyes too. However, they don’t feel threatening. I will keep my senses opened up and hope I discern where these spies are located.“Madison!” I hear someone call me from near the packhouse. I look up and see Kent storming over to me. I stand up at attention. “Why are you outside?”
