Olivia POVWe were left alone in the alley and my heart dropped into a bottomless pit in my stomach. I refused to look at Gabriel, feeling like I might burst into tears if I met his gaze. I understood why he wanted to keep helping Linnea, even though it meant risking his life. I knew how important packs were to werewolves, and I couldn’t possibly ask him to leave his pack for me. A part of me was hurt that he wouldn’t fight for me, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to his request. I just thought we had more time. “Olivia.” Gabriel said softly. I didn’t reply, so he wrapped one arm around my waist and gripped my chin, forcing me to look at him. When I felt a tear slip down my cheek against my will, I cursed silently and closed my eyes. “Please look at me.” He pleaded. I opened my eyes and saw the same pain in his eyes. “Do it.” I whispered.Gabriel opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out. He groaned in frustration and leaned his
Linnea POVThe anticipation made my heart pace and I followed Alessandro’s every move as he left me standing by the door and walked over to the closet. He came back with a black box that he placed on the bed. I took a few steps towards him, but he held out his hand and I stopped in my tracks. “Did I tell you to move?” He asked and raised an eyebrow. I bit my lip and shook my head. “Sorry.” I mumbled. He chuckled and walked up to me. “You’ve only had a taste of this before.” He said. “If you feel uncomfortable at any moment, say it, and I’ll immediately stop. This isn’t torture. It’s for us to have fun. I’ve seen that you have great potential to be a perfect submissive, and I want to explore your boundaries with you if you let me.”I smiled and nodded. “Does it make me weird that I liked it?” I asked quietly. “The umm- punishments you gave me, I mean.”“No.” Alessandro replied. “It makes you brave for daring to discover new things about yourself.”He held out his hand. “Your pa
Alessandro POVSeeing Linnea writhe in the restraints was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I had to admit, when she walked into my office wearing that dress and acting all dominant with me I was almost spellbound. I was instantly turned on by her dominant aura and I wondered how I hadn’t been able to see it before. She was clearly an Alpha, and she knew how to use that aura to dominate a room. I pushed the bullet inside her and she stiffened. “Do you want your reward now?” I whispered as I pushed her hair away from her shoulder. “Yes please.” She whimpered. I brushed my nose against her neck and kissed her temple before taking out the remote for the bullet in my pocket. When I pressed the button, the bullet started vibrating inside her. Linnea jerked and she moaned as her legs started to tremble. I massaged her buttcheeks and pressed the button again, making the bullet vibrate even harder. “Ohmygod.” Linnea whispered, her breath coming out in small pants. I pushed her
Gabriel POVI stiffly got out of the car and almost sprinted up to my room. The packhouse was full of people, but I didn’t care if I bumped into anyone. I just wanted to lock myself in my room and cry. Rejecting Olivia was a lot harder than I thought. The pain was still lingering and I had to take deep breaths to keep myself from falling apart. I slammed my bedroom door shut and fell to the ground, my emotions becoming too much for me to handle. “I’m sorry.” I whimpered, hoping that the Moon Goddess could hear me. This had to be my punishment. I betrayed my Alpha and lost my mate because of it. There was nothing left for me to live for now. All I wanted was for Linnea to come rescue the pack so that I could be put out of my misery. I was startled by a knock at the door and my mother’s voice was heard on the other side. “Gabriel. Are you in there?” She asked. I wiped my tears and glazed at my reflection in the mirror. It wasn’t a surprise that I looked terrible. But she wasn’t
Wanda POVThe chains rattled every time I moved, the cuffs cutting into my wrists and ankles. A few days after bringing me to the dungeon, they chained both me and David to the wall, keeping us from moving freely around the cells. “Do you think she’s still alive?” David’s broken voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I glanced up at him through the bars. “I don’t know.” I replied. “I’d like to think so. Even if she never comes back here, I would want her to find a nice place to settle down, far away from all this.”“I don’t know if she’s strong enough.” David whispered. “She’s always been so innocent. I don’t know if she has it in her to fight for us.”“Have faith, Alpha.” I replied. “We don’t know what’s going on from here. If they had caught her, they would definitely have rubbed it in our faces. Right now, no news is good news, okay?”David nodded solemnly. I hated seeing him so broken. He blamed himself for the attack and losing the pack and no matter what I said, he wouldn’t
Gabriel POVI was running through the forest in my wolf form, feeling stressed as midday was approaching fast. When I reached the border, I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw the two warriors on patrol were MoonStone pack members. I shifted back and they greeted me.“I need your help.” I said, looking around to make sure that we were alone.“What’s wrong, Sir?” One of the warriors asked. “The Alpha Princess is about to return.” I told them. “Alpha Harald is executing Alpha David at noon if she doesn’t show up.”I registered the looks of horror on their faces as they exchanged worried glances.“And I need your help to stop it.” I continued.They both frowned in confusion.“An army will follow behind her.” I explained. We need to keep them under wraps though. Alpha Harald can’t know that they’re coming through. Do you understand?” The two warriors grinned and saluted me just as I saw Linnea come walking up the road.“They’re at the square.” I said. “Are you ready?””Ready as I’ll eve
Linnea POVI snarled as Antonia pounced on me, her claws digging into my chest. I snapped my jaws at her and managed to bite down on her front leg. Antonia didn’t let go, and I tried to push her off of me using my hind legs. I stared into her eyes and saw her hatred for me. The mindlink opened up and I heard her speak to me. “You were always in the way.” She spat. “Such a useless little brat. This pack would have perished with you as Alpha.”“So you sold us out?” I retorted. “You decided to betray the pack instead?”Antonia growled at my reply and I whimpered when she dug her claws deeper into me. “Gabriel would have been a better Alpha than you.” She snarled. “You’re just a pathetic half breed anyway.”“If I’m so pathetic, why didn’t he just challenge me?” I asked. “Because he wasn’t strong enough. You sold out the pack for power. You’re the pathetic one.”Before Antonia could answer, she was ripped off of me. I staggered to my feet and saw Gabriel pinning his mother to the ground
Alessandro POVI had no idea why she was here, but she seemed to be on our side, so I decided to let it go for now and smelled the air to pick up Alpha Harald’s scent. “Go.” The witch said. “I’ll take care of the last of these idiots.”With that, she threw a ball of lightning towards the wolves. I looked over at David, who nodded reassuringly. We took off together towards the forest. Two Alphas against a coward that relied more on his money and armies than his own strength. Easy.I forced myself not to think that this was a piece of cake. If I did, I might underestimate him when the time came. He took over this whole pack in a matter of hours. He might have some more tricks up his sleeve. I spotted a running wolf at the edge of the forest and quickened my pace. The wounds from the previous fight were healing pretty well and I was starting to feel stronger with every stride. Alpha Harald raced out into a meadow when we caught up with him. David ran past me and was just about to po
