Damien's POV With her heavenly scent committed to memory, It didn't take long to track them down to some dive in the centre of town, from where I stood, spying on them. One of the perks of having demon blood run through my veins was that I was gifted with powers and abilities most could only hope to have. Matter manipulation, teleportation, telepathy and my favourite that I was incredibly grateful for now as I stood watching Red: Invisibility. I didn't know enough about my ruby gem and her abilities. Would she be able to sense me? See through my cloak of invisibility? Not wanting to take the risk and alarm her, I kept a safe distance and watched from the other side of the street, cursing each car that whizzed by, blocking my vision momentarily. I didn't want to miss a thing. I needed to know what this mongerals' intentions towards Red were! I didn't trust him after his outburst yesterday. His wolf had undoubtedly tried to claim she was 'his mate' If that was true, then this l
Abigail's POV We walked through the town for the rest of the afternoon; Jason, true to his word, had taken us to the best pet shop in town. While Lizzy and I looked for the perfect tank, I found myself glancing back at Jason, who was on the phone, clearly to someone important. My stomach dropped at the thought of him having to leave. Today had been such a fun day, and I had enjoyed getting to know him and his wolf, even if it was a little more intimately than I had planned. Although I watched Lizzy carefully, I could not pull my eyes away from Jason; his eyes caught mine, our green jewels locked on each other's, neither of us breaking contact; I smiled, knowing that the dark glimmer behind his eyes meant Archer was watching me too. Knowing that a wolf was watching me like a predator stalking its prey should leave me feeling uneasy, but it didn't; I don't recall ever feeling as safe as I did right now. Instinctively I knew this man and his wolf would protect me with their lives; I
Jason's POV The adrenaline that soared through my body when I was close to this creature gave me a natural high unrivalled by anything else I had experienced. Hunting in wolf form, a successful training session even the countless other liaisons I had had over the years didn't match the thrill I got from making those ivory cheeks burn. I wasn't lying, though. I could smell her body responding to me, something had changed since we entered the store, and I planned to make the most of the situation. This creature was addictive, and I had no plans of missing out on this opportunity to get close to her. Caging her between the till and my body, those beautiful eyes staring up at me, shocked at my teasing and forwardness. She had been stripped of all bravado and left raw, her innocence and inexperience as clear as the nose on her face. Which only fuelled the fire within me. Without removing my eyes from her deep hues, I reached into my pocket for my card, placing my hand on her hip and
Abigail's POV Hearing my name roll off his lips with such authority made my stomach flip unexpectedly. I knew I was close to being putty in his hands, but he ruined it, letting his arrogance get the better of him. Stubborn had always been a word used to describe me, so it was no surprise that I dug my heels in and pushed his buttons, wanting to provoke him. Hearing the irritated tone in his voice, I made a mental note that he was easy to wind up, something I would have to consider when teasing him. What I had not banked on was him turning the tables on me, feeling his hand brush against my hip ever so gently; even such a feather-light touch sent electric sparks through my body, causing me to tremble with anticipation. Unable to control the purr that slipped from my lips at his closeness and touch. Wanting to kick myself for how my body reacts around him. Was it time I bit the bullet and gave in to my natural urges? Perhaps then my body would behave and stop betraying me. I don'
Jason's POV "Wanna bet!" Archer's low growl filtered through my head; I could sense through our bond how much he liked her; he liked her feistiness, her sass and her stubborn streak! "You know why!" He answered flatly, aware she might still be listening and not wanting to scare her. She wasn't one of us; she wasn't a wolf, she didn't understand our ways. I thought silently, deciding not to answer. "Not yet!" Archer added. I could hear the excitement in his voice. Which had me a little nervous; he never usually took this much notice when it came to females, so why now? "We can't let her stay here!" He added, his mood changing dramatically, watching the inebriated fool roll around the floor dramatically, pulling his knee to his waist and wailing like a child. "Oh my god, humans are pathetic", Archer snickered. I closed my eyes and heard Ab's sharp inhale, opening them slowly to see her spinning around a face like thunder. "Buddy, will you try to behave, She. Can. Hear. Yo
Damien's POV Hours, I had watched them together; they looked and acted like a little family. The pair of them gushing and pandering to every one of the kid's needs. It was sickening to watch the absolute guile of the little pup thinking he could swoop in and steal what I had distinctly marked as mine yesterday at the town meeting. Did I have to fully mark my territory for this halfwit to realise he was stepping on some rather large toes? Mate or no mate bond he wasn’t having her! I wanted to stride over there and crush this parasite that had latched itself onto Red. I knew of his family; I had grown up close by, we had all heard the stories of our father's rivalry! The brutality and cruelty that had transpired from both sides causing a ridiculous feud; people just needed to accept when they were beaten. But it was no secret how hungry for power the pup's father was. Apparently, that trait was passed down to wolf boy, too, as he desperately tried to get his paws into my ruby an
Jason's POV I knew as soon as the door opened that it was Lizzy's mother; the aged woman had the same dark eyes as Lizzy, even her hair was the same shade of raven like Lizzy’s. Seeing her sway against the door, the foul smell of tequila and vodka that clung to the air around her told me she had spent her child-free afternoon drowning in self-pity and memories. No care for her child, instantly I understood why Abigail seemed to go through so many emotions at the mention of Lizzy's mother. She was undeserving of such a remarkable child. For a moment, all my anger seemed to focus on this pathetic human conversing with Abigail. Damien was no longer a concern to me, although Archer was still on alert, ready to pounce if provoked. "Bout time you brought her back... I was about to phone the police and file a missing person's report." She grumbled ungratefully at Abigail, who had taken Lizzy's hand and headed towards the door; the tension in Abigail's shoulders only exacerbated my fou
Damien's POV "Why do you have to be such an ass?" She scolded me the second the door was closed, crossing her arms in front of her chest, looking at me furiously. Seeing how her breasts push against her arms made me smirk devilishly, knowing from my earlier observations that she had no bra on. Sensing my roaming eyes, she huffed, rolling her eyes at me, making her frustration evident. "Come on; he had it coming. Acting like a protective boyfriend, what the fuck Red? He has only known you a day!" I argued back, unhappy that our first moments together today had started with an argument because of some male. "Oh yeah, remind me... how long have you known me, huh?" Shaking her head, clearly exasperated by my behaviour and the situation. "Longer than him!" I protested, trying to stand my ground, but she looked so damn cute when she was pissed off it was hard to keep a straight face. Not getting the response she wanted from me, she walked towards her bedroom; without a second tho
