Now I know why Marc said these talks with alphas just go on and on, without coming to any agreements. His ego is too large for him to see that there’s no way I’ll be leaving with him. So, he is resorting to threatening my pack. Even though fear has a tight grip like a fist around my heart I don’t shake, I glare at him instead. Refusing to break. I’ve not come this far to give up now. We’re locked in a battle of wills when the door to Zayne’s office opens. He came in at the right time. “I’d done talking to him” I try not to snap as I stand up but I know I’m unable to hide my annoyance from Zayne. It irks me that this male has managed to get anything out of me in the first place. Talking to him is useless. He doesn’t even admit his wrong. What a monster. Zayne comes to stand behind the leather chair closest to him his hand resting on the high back. He couldn’t look more disinterested in the situation if he tried, he looks bored even. Cade stands up as well coming around the table h

I wanted to be here. Zayne and I argued about it last night as we returned to the compound, he told me my presence wasn’t necessary and he has dealt with this many times. I accused him of babying me which he hadn’t bothered denying. This only annoyed me the more, knowing if I was Jida or that other female Mercy, he wouldn’t have told them to sit back while the males defended the pack. I argued that this was about me, the challenge and if he was going to be putting his life on the line, I should at least be there. I didn’t even want him fighting in the first place, the thought of it terrified me. I told him that, if there was another way. “I am your alpha, you will be my mate, it is my duty to defend you” “Then I will be there” I tried to be firm. He looked away from me, “You might not like what you see when I am being alpha Zayne” his eyes returned to mine and I almost drowned at the intensity “I can be a little different” “I was there that night remember, when you killed those

Things are rather calm the next few days following the challenge. Like me, everyone has being holding their breath for any backlash from the fight. There’s been no news from the council, even the attacks from the intruders reduced then stopped completely. I know this because I ask Sky and Marc for updates whenever I see them which is almost everyday, the one I don’t see at all is Zayne. Haven’t set eyes on him since he left the clearing in wolf form. But I know he hasn’t left the territory. Yes, I asked. The peace from the past few days has lead everyone to feel more relaxed, which is why we are able to have a normal full moon gathering. And by normal I mean loud with music and booze and dancing around the bonfire. Dark woods style. I danced a little with Oliver and Mile, until I got tired about an hour ago, Winnie off somewhere with Philip, Mile had whispered to me over the fire that she expecting the news of mating from them anytime soon. Now I’m sitting in the cool grass watc

“Do not ruin-oh” my complaint ends in a moan as he rips another yet camisole but captures my now bare nipple into his mouth. He sucks deeply, and my pussy clenches at the tugging sensation of his mouth on my nipple, the feel of his hot mouth and licking tongue is everything, my head falls back into the bed, my back arching up to him. Then he sucks on the second, massaging the first in his large palm. Heat floods me. His tongue is like licks of fire, trails down between the valley of my breast, my navel, and down my hips. His fingers slip into the waistband of my shorts at my hips dragging, I raise my hips to assist in kicking them off my feet. His callus hands trail up my thighs, lips following the same path, a second later, Zayne burrows his face into my panty-covered cleft his nostrils flares as he inhales deeply. He classes his eyes and then opens them. “I’m going to eat your pussy now.” Zayne says softly, his fingers close around the sides, with a slight jerk of his wrist, t

Rhea is a fast opponent, it takes a while before I learn her and begin to predict her moves, she prefers to be on the attack so I’ve been dodging blows and kicks for the better part of the morning, only attacking when I see an opening, but she’s fast, really fast. She comes at me hard and fast, I imagined if claws had come out to play I’d be treating cuts at the end of today. This is why when she pauses mid swing and then tips her head behind me, I narrow my head in confusion. What the..? Frowning I sneak a peek, not wanting to give her my back in case this is a trick to get an upper hand. My eyebrows go up when I see Zayne walking towards the arena, the noise around me filters down, I don’t know if it’s because the others stop fighting as well or because Zayne takes control of my senses, but at that moment he’s all I can see, sense, my entire focus. It’s been a while since he came to watch us train, or he’s probably here for Colin. When he stops a few paces away his eyes don’t l
