Peter Bennett. It hurts my heart to see my mate so sad. I totally understand why. Apollo doesn’t stop howling, given the emotions we feel, through the mate bond, which she does not know exists. I see the woman in front of me and I feel so blessed that she is mine. “Start, from the beginning, Peter. I want to know everything.” I swallow hard, as I watch my beautiful mate looking at me with her eyes wide open, waiting for what I have to say. I clear my throat and say, “There are different societies in this world. Humans are just one of them. Different creatures live among them, such as werewolves and Lycans.” I continued, “Our culture collaborates with humans, but we do not mix. This means that we can do business with them, work with them or for them, but we do not match with them. It is forbidden to be with a human being.” Emma interrupts me by asking, “What’s the difference between a werewolf and a Lycan?” “A werewolf can turn into a wolf when required. They are two entities sha
Parker Bennett.Dazed by the journey my brother forced me to undertake to the northern lands, I am glad it is over. I’ve been abroad for months and I just miss my bed and my space.It was a very hard time, where I could achieve what I wanted: information. Peter will be happy with everything I discovered about King Harry.I get off the plane and am pleased that William, Peter’s beta, is waiting for me.“Nice to see you, Prince Parker. I hope the flight was uneventful.”I smile at him, tired, as I say, “Thank you, William. Yes, it was a comfortable trip, despite the distance. Tell me, how is my grumpy brother?”I watch as William shares a nervous smile, as he says, “Our king, he has met his mate, my prince.”I stop dead. “What? How? When? Who is she?”To tell the truth, I always believed that I would find her first. I always tried to take comfort in the fact that, if I wasn’t king, I would at least have my fated mate. But I see that the goddesses laugh at me once again.As his twin, we
Emma Spencer.I gasp in surprise as I see this man, extremely similar to Peter, looking at me from the doorway. He lunges at me, pinning me against the wall with his body, and pressing his hips against me. He takes my hands and places them above my head.It took me completely by surprise, but it was the sexiest thing a man has ever made me feel.Whisper in my ear, “mine.”His touch and his breath on my skin send thousands of sparks that run through my body, making me melt before his touch, losing all notion of reasoning. I let out a moan as I closed my eyes.I feel him run his tongue over my neck, and I can’t help but bite my lip. Out of nowhere, a shocking roar resonates from the door.I turn my head and see a livid Peter looking at us from the doorway. He’s panting heavily, and I can see he’s trying to hold back.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, Parker?”I open my eyes wide, look at him and say, “Parker? Who is Parker?”Peter, without leaving his place, tells me with a hoars
Peter Bennett.After chatting with Emma and having her stay with Maddie playing in the garden, we met with Parker in my office.He enters and sits on the couch, placing his legs on the table. He does it because he knows it’s something I hate.“Can you take your feet off the table? What is the matter with you?”He rolls his eyes as he says, “You’re no fun, Peter. Well, I’m here. We have a lot to talk about.”I watch as the door opens, and it is William who enters, sitting on the single sofa in front of me.With William, we have the implicit deal that outside the house, he calls me boss, Mr. Bennett, or king, depending on whether we are with our people or with the humans.But inside the house, he calls us Peter and Parker since he grew up with us. He is my best friend.The three of us used to get into trouble, getting into mischief. He was always the mastermind of evacuation plans. Remembering those times makes me smile.I watch as he greets Parker with a set of hands, which they have al
Emma Spencer.Once Parker, Peter, and William assembled, they exited the office and joined us in the kitchen. Maddie and I baked cupcakes since we had agreed that we would visit Dad. Gosh, dad!“Hey pumpkin! What are you doing?” Peter tells her, with an amused smile.“Silly daddy. We are baking cupcakes. Mommy said we would see grandpa.”I watch as Peter looks at me with his eyebrow raised. “Oh, yeah?”I put my hands on my waist, as I say, “Do you have something to tell me, Peter?”Maddie looks at us and says, “oh - oh… daddy’s in trouble.”Parker laughs as he says, “Daddy still hasn’t learned not to make Mommy angry.”Maddie laughs as she tells him, “Yes. Daddy has to learn.”“Hum… I’m right here, you know? You are talking like I’m not in the kitchen.” A grumpy Peter speaks to them.“Emma, I assume that if you’re baking, it’s because you’re coming with us,” William tells me. There’s something strange about him. He looks at me cautiously, as if he were hiding something. I feel like h
Emma Spencer.“Dad, why is my wolf asleep?”It’s a question I can’t help but ask. I watch as my father sighs as he says, “I knew this conversation would come at some point.”That phrase makes me very nervous. Parker, sensing how I feel, sits next to me, holding my hand. He draws circles with his thumb, sending those delicious sparks throughout my body. I close my eyes, focusing on the sensation.Somehow, I hear him in my head saying, “I know you said you didn’t want physical contact, but you need us, just like we need you. Let me help you babe, because I know these calms you down.”I close my eyes and nod in silence. He tells me, “Just focus on the sparks. Let them wash over you and breathe slowly.”I do what he tells me and after a few minutes; I feel my pulse slow down. My father says to me, “Are you okay, honey?” “Oh? Yes, now I am.” I look at Parker and whisper with a smile, “Thank you.”I clear my throat as I say, “Dad, just tell me. I need to know the truth.”“I suppose the kin
Peter Bennett.After the conversation at John’s house, we drove quickly toward the suburbs. William was an experienced driver and avoided any traffic.Once we get there, Apollo tells me, “Something’s not right, Peter.”“What are you talking about?”“Smell the air.”I do what Apollo tells me, and my instincts kick in quickly. My eyes change color and I tell the others, “Someone from the north was here.”Parker and William look at me and go into defensive mode. William tells me, “I’ll check the perimeter. You two enter carefully.”We both nodded silently. We skirt the house and enter through the kitchen.There is no need to struggle with the door since it was open. Parker tells me by mental link, “Fuck! We arrived late. These bastards got ahead of us.”I growl through the link. Then I tell him. “We go to the office.”We walk through the house and see it all messed up. Whoever was here was looking for something. “How the hell did they track John down so quickly?”“Don’t know. But I can t
Parker Bennett. Once Jack notified Peter that there was a strange movement at Emma’s house, William drove at full speed, without first requesting reinforcements at John’s house to collect all the items that could give any indication of Emma’s existence and Maddie. During the journey, which did not take that long, we all remained in complete silence. Each one was immersed in their own thoughts. The repercussions of all this are extensive. If Harry could move his people that quickly, it means he has people hiding here. I’m scared to think about what could happen to Emma and Maddie. “Stop thinking the worst, Parker. You always do the damn same thing.” Fenrir tells me with a soft growl. “I can’t help but think the worst, Fenrir. Yourself saw the stupid things Harry does to people who are not loyal to him.” “Harry feels scared. Every day, there are more people defecting or plotting against him.” He goes on saying, “If our world knows which Emma exists and that there is already an he
