Helen POVMy grandmother’s face is beautifully cascaded in a gold shine. She is an angel, literally and physically, but she looks like one right now, floating inches from my face.I reached out, wanting to take her hand, but it moved right through the illusion. My heart sank knowing I couldn’t reach her, not even in my dreams.Everything turned quickly, sending me to the floor of my parent’s kitchen scrubbing the floors and working on my blistered knees. I could see how small I looked then, how pathetically easy of a target I was to my relatives, but it still hurt, nonetheless.“You are cruel!” my nana’s voice carried through our home. “You don’t see it yet, but I do! I see how you treat my granddaughter! She will make you rue your behavior one day.”“The maid child? Please, Gertrude,” my mother’s voice heckled, “what a joke this is! She is a pathetic little runt. You should be happy that I’m even considering keeping her in this house!”I scrubbed the floor harder at that casual threa
Helen POVI followed my mate to the clearing of the field just outside my father’s pack. We were watching specifically for the Alpha King on visit, or that horrible Scott hanging out near my parents.It’s hard to accept that they loved him more than me, their own flesh and blood. It never mattered, though. When they saw us as fated mates, they saw Scott as their son, and Diana as his wife.Fuck what the moon goddess intended, I guess.Justin’s Lycan is calm, which is nice to see in a moment like this. We peer across the valley, watching Randy’s wolf stalk slowly in place, waiting for a sight of my father to come into view. The last few times we have been on look-out have been unsuccessful.My father had bunkered himself into the house. When he leaves, that will be when we strike.Justin’s Lycan leaned into my wolf’s neck, running his claws through my thick, matted fur. Being a Snow White now, I was scared of drawing too much attention, but more so afraid of the respect this coat would
Helen POVI swallowed his words and looked around me at the confused, disappointed looking crowd. He was right after all. They were happy to see Scott be taken down by a female wolf, by a pure coated wolf, but just not as me.They despised me no matter my victories.“Justin,” I said, watching my mate join the other wolves in the square. “I think I’ve made my point here today. They can still think of me as a mutt, as ugly and a reject,” I groaned, those words still stinging even if they weren’t true anymore. “This pack doesn’t deserve me as their Luna.”A light whisper traveled through the crowed right then. I watched their faces change, their eyes brighten, like I told them all I was giving out free cash in the town square.“Luna Helen!”It started with one shout, then another. It was roaring through the mountain tops not, screaming and cheering and fucking pride. Moon goddess, pride has been so scarce to me before.Randy looked to his Alpha, the two of them shrugging before coming up
Helen POV“Where is my real mother, then?”“Probably taking it from a pack of rogues, useless slut,” Kelley muttered, the sight of this woman I thought had been my mother for so long suddenly vanishing at once; it was hard to accept. “It’s the same fate you should be looking forward to, once this lousy Lycan get’s tired of your weakness.”Justin had done well keeping himself tamed but not anymore. He took it upon himself to charge my mother, who had seemingly looked spooked by his approaching presence, his claws slashing out a slap against her cheek.She fell at his feet but wouldn’t stop anytime soon. She laughed at the sight of me. The gall of this woman was unbelievable.“I bet she can’t even put out right,” my mother taunted. “She may look better now, but she will always be that ugly, raggedy reject.”Scott stood up at last, his wolf healing him slowly. He joined into the torment.“Tell me, Helen, do you even know how to mate properly? You probably just sit there and let that Lyca
Helen POVMy voice was meek and taunting. “Then come get all of me, Alpha.”Justin leapt forward but I was already sprinting into the water, jumping under the surface to swim away. Even under water, my Lycan mate had an advantage. He caught me as we came up to the waterfall, his arms hiking me up to his chest.He forced my legs over his shoulders, my thighs squeezing into his face while he pushed my back into the rocks, the water drenching me almost as much as my anticipating juices had wet my core. Justin kept me pressed there, on his shoulders, his lips making out with those of my throbbing pussy.“Fuck!”I screamed at the pleasure. It was overbearing and sensual and it was everything. I leaned back as he ate me out under the waterfall, the rocks scratching my spin but it didn’t matter. I would prefer him to dig a cave with my back if it meant he would lick my sex this ferociously forever.He pulled back, sucking on my sensitive clit once, the feeling unlike anything I’ve ever wante
Helen POV“What happened here?!”I only looked up slightly to see Randy charging toward the pond. He was alone, watching Justin carefully as he knelt behind my back.“Moon goddess,” he said, running his fingertips lightly down my spine. “You’re covered in bruises, Helen.”I spit out the remainder of Justin’s come still clogging my throat and blushed deeply, looking at my pale form to see what he was talking about. He was right. Some of them even looked like bite marks. I felt sick at the sight of them, but more so at how Justin saw them.“No, it’s fine—” I pleaded, looking at my poor mate in his cycle of losing self-control. “Please, don’t—”Justin roared in shifting into his Lycan.I flinched at the sight of my mate running off. Randy pulled my hair back, assessing my naked, battered body.“Did he really do all of this, Helen?”“It doesn’t hurt,” I said in defense. It was true, too. It didn’t hurt. The only pain I felt was seeing Justin so furiously fighting himself. “It was too much
Justin POVShe finally fell asleep. Her body was jerking around when I entered the dwelling of the cave, her heat so palpable it sent waves over my Lycan. He wasn’t happy with my abrasive need to create distance between us.Neither was her wolf.It took so much out of her that at last she passed out. Randy wanted to be sure of her submission against her heat, so he tied her wrists in rope and looped it through the headboard of the bed.Seeing her like that only fueled the need and desire that bubbled through my chest. I wanted her like that, to please her mercilessly while she was tied up and panting and begging.Randy connected a fist into my cheek, knocking me unbalanced and pissing me off.“What the fuck?!”My Beta snarled. “You’re doing it again, dammit. Relax, Justin. You’re going to put each other back in heat.”I shook my head and settled my nerves; for now. “I don’t know what happened out there it was just—we just took a break to swim—I wanted to calm her down after that terri
Helen POVMy wrists bleed for days. Anytime I need to get up, I’m untied from the bedpost but the ropes stay wrapped around my wrists. Randy spends most of the time with me if I have to get up to eat, to shower, but he is ruthless in putting me back in bed.I’ve fought him before, but I’m not strong enough to break away from him completely.Justin has been far too focused on setting the new pack up in the mortal cities nearby, all while collecting rogues and other pack outcasts to join our new pack. Justin was trying to stay busy and trying to stay away from me.I only made my heat worse.“RANDY!”I screamed as I woke, the stabbing agony in my abdomen like a million knives sliding in and out of my flesh over and over again. I woke up in tears that didn’t stop until I saw Randy undoing my wrists overhead.He picked me up in a single, rough swoosh and put me on the shower floor. The water hit me like a train would pelt my back if I were standing in its way. I screamed as the fever fough
