Tori POV “Stay the night with me?” I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but love and…. Sadness? “Victor?” He got to his knees and then stood before me. Reaching down, he grabbed my hands and lifted me up. Carrying me to the bed, he sat down as I straddled him. Wrapping his arms around me, leaning down to kiss my neck and take in my scent. “Tori” He whispered as he peppered kisses to my neck and up my jaw. Slowly making his way across my cheek and kissed the tip of my nose. Leaning back, he smiled at me. “Tori, I would love nothing more than to stay with you, nothing more than to wrap my arms around you, hold you tight, make sweet love to you all night, but I want to do this right. I know your father is happy about us, but I need to formally ask his permission, and Apache’s. I want you to be treated like the queen you are. Not just a moment of lust, but a moment of true love. I want to show you the love I have for you.”
Ronin POV I step into my closet to get dressed as I hear my uncle in my head. “Ronin, come to my office” I rolled my eyes and continued pulling up my jeans. I grabbed a dark blue collared polo and pulled it over my head. I grabbed my boots and walked out. I sat on my bed to don my boots, when I felt a hand glide up my back. I smiled to myself and finished tying my bootstrings. “Good morning, Alpha” A sultry voice greeted me as I turned to find my girlfriend, Missy, still naked in bed. I stare at her with a flirtatious grin as I slide the sheet away from her to expose her body to me. “A good morning, it is.” I leaned over and took a nipple into my mouth and bit it gently as I continued to kiss across her chest to the other one. Missy closed her eyes and dropped her head back moaning in delight. “Ahh Alpha! Didn’t get enough last night, hmm?” She brought her hand up to run through my hair but thought better
Tori POV I was having a wonderful dream where Victor and I were sitting on the huge lawn in front of the packhouse watching the children running around playing tag, just like we used to do. He was staring at me with the most beautiful blue eyes and a loving smile on his face. I smiled back and he leaned over and kissed my lips. I heard voices coming from behind us and turned to see Tammy and Eric happily walking up to us. Tammy plopped herself down next to me and began tapping my nose. I shook my head, but she kept tapping it. “Tori! Tori!” I heard her yelling as she giggled in my ear. I swatted at her hands, and she laughed. “Tori! Open your eyes!” I snapped my eyes open to see Tammy sitting on the edge of my bed. Eric was standing in the doorway. “Wake up sleepy head! Time to make the donuts!” I covered my head with my pillow and groaned. “Go away” I mumbled as she giggled again and tried to pull the pillow away.
Tori POV I stood there with my jaw on the floor. Did he just say no?! Did he just tell me that he has no intentions of introducing me as his daughter? I am utterly shocked, angered, and most importantly, embarrassed. I could feel my face burn red and my anger even more. I shook my head and took a few steps back. I tried to take a deep breath but only managed to take a deep sob. Victor and Eric stood still with emotionless faces, obviously knowing what kind of mood the Alpha was in. I saw pain and regret in Victor’s eyes. He wanted to come console me, but he would be punished if he did. I didn’t quite understand what just happened, but I need to leave here. The last few days have been quite a whirlwind of happenings. I got cheated on by my boyfriend, found out that my best friend is mated to a Gamma wolf, I found my long-lost father, found my childhood friend, learned that I have a Genesis wolf, a crazy person tried to kill me, and I’m su
Tori POV After the meeting was over, I apologized to Dr. MacDonald for my behavior, but there was something about Alpha Black that I wasn’t comfortable with. Without going into too much detail about my abilities, I explained I saw something in the healing bond that Mystic was very wary of. He wanted to talk more about it, but I was not feeling too well diving through that man’s clouds. I also thought it would be best to discuss with my Alpha what I saw and felt. Being the Alpha of one of the most powerful and largest packs on this side of the country, the information might be of use. Eric and Tammy helped me to the car, and we drove back to the pack in silence. After what the doctor witnessed, he suggested I go home and rest. We pulled up the driveway to the packhouse and Eric parked the car. Shutting off the engine, all three of us just sat there quietly thinking about what had just happened. I was angrier about his treatment of Eric than anything.
Victor POV I sat silently watching her chest rise and fall with each silent breath. Her eyes closed, but she looked every bit the angelic beauty she is. Her long eyelashes fanned across her cheek. Her dark hair splayed out across her pillow looking as if she was floating. A slight pink shade covered her face and her lips a rosy, red just begging to be kissed. If it weren’t for her passing out from shock, I’d be kissing them right now. Thinking back to the events that led us here, I cringed at the thought of yelling at her. Especially dragging her up to the office and throwing her in the chair. What the hell was the matter with me?! I have never treated anyone let alone Tori like that! Honestly, I was scared. Truly and honestly to the bone scared at what I had witnessed. Never before have I seen someone bring a being back from the dead. Maybe in black magic practices they do that, but not a sweet innocent healer like Tori. I knew Alpha Rick had som
Merrick POV It’s been a while now since Tori healed the warrior. After her amazing abilities brought him back, he was taken to the hospital. I watched as Victor practically dragged her back to my office. If I didn’t know he was scared at what he’d seen, I would have ripped his head off for treating her so harshly. I didn’t need to say anything anyway for she gave him an earful and I couldn’t help smiling to myself. After explaining to her what happened, Tori didn’t take it well and passed out. My heart was in pieces having to explain it all to her. I know she didn’t ask for this ability, but she will learn how to use it properly. I had Victor take her back to her room and sit with her until she wakes up. It’s been quite an eventful day for her, so I expect her to be out for most of the day. Sitting alone in my office, my mind is all over the place. I am scared for Tori. Hopefully no one understood what happened with Ryder, but I know a
Tori POV “Make me yours, mate!” He crushed his lips to mine, and we continued our sultry dance that only lovers do. With gentle hands that flowed down my sides and across my belly. Lifting one thigh, he lowered himself between my legs. One hand held his weight as the other continued to explore my body. I ran my hands down his perfectly toned chest and wrapped them around his waist, gripping the muscles of his firm ass. I heard him growl low in his chest and began nipping at my neck, biting a trail down to my shoulder. With a sharp intake of breath, I wrapped my other leg around his waist, and I could feel his excitement on my center. “Tori… tell me your mine!” Victor demanded in a stern but pleading tone although his gaze was soft as a caress. I could feel the tingling in the pit of my stomach, my heart jolted, and my pulse raced as I dragged my nails down his back earning me another round of growls and moans.
