EMMA ‘Did I hurt you?’ he asked quickly, his eyes searching mine. My sweet wolf was so afraid of hurting me. Who would had thought that Black Devil could be such a gentle soul. He was my gentle soul. Only I got to see this side of him just as only I got to see the sweet side of Xander. My boys gave those sides only to me, and I loved it. “No. Quite the opposite actually. Will you try it again?” I asked, hoping it would work. He always eased it when it got bad before, but this felt different. It almost felt like he was fixing it. It was very hard to explain. Kai sat up and lowered his muzzle to the side of my neck. He sniffed the veins and whined before his tongue darted out to it. The moment his tongue touched my neck, I felt an intense explosion from that area. A vein shot out of my skin towards Kai, trying to attach itself to him. It felt like time slowed down for a few seconds. Rage, unlike anything I had ever felt before propelled my actions. My hand shot out and quickly grab

EMMA Anger boiled inside of me, burning me up from the inside. A loud growl escaped my throat right before my fist collided with the wall. My fist punched the wall three more times before someone pulled me away from it. I turned to face them and let loose a vicious snarl. How dare they stop me. My back collided with something hard, and my anger kept boiling inside of me. Something wrapped around my neck and pierced into my flesh. The pressure of it helped me focus through the anger. My chest heaved, and I focused on the sparks around my neck. The haze dissipated with each second that passed. I looked up and saw Handsome looking down at me. I nodded as much as I could with his hand around my throat. His hand left my neck, and he leaned down, kissing the punctures to close them. The reality of it all hit me, and I slid down the wall until I was sitting against it. I was pissed. No, I was furious. This was bound to happen no matter how much they tried to assure me that it would not. I

XANDER Emma’s side of the bed was cold by the time that I woke up. Healing her veins took a lot out of Kai, so she probably slipped out when we were passed out. If there was even just one solace from last night, it was that Kai could help heal those veins. There was at least a temporary solution even though we were not able to fix it just yet. It helped lift some weight off our shoulders. Yesterday started out really fucking awesome. I finally got to truly kiss Emma, not to mention that I got to taste her too. She was delicious and so perfect and all ours. Then she sparred with me and royally kicked my ass. It took every ounce of patience not to take her right then and there. Oh, then that blowjob still had me seeing stars. Taking her to the bar was the highlight of my…well, life. So, I possessively laid claim to her so that nobody would fuck with her. I refused to tolerate it. What was better was that she wanted me to claim her in front of them as well. Her body had fit so perfect

EMMA Mates. Xander said that we would be mates, one way or another as long as I wanted it. I believed his words. They wove their way down into the deepest parts of me and unlocked something I had never allowed myself to long for – a future. I finally allowed myself to realize that I desired a future with them more than anything. There was no longer a need about the here and now when it came to them. I could not only desire a future with them, but I could have it as well. No matter what, they would be mine, and I would be theirs. How the fuck did I end up in this place in life? Alpha Xander was feared around the country, and rightfully so. His hands could destroy life itself without hesitancy or effort. Yet his hands brought me nothing but pleasure. He was the sweetest person to me. He loved me and chose me above anyone else. He could easily have his pick of women, yet he chose just me. I would not lie and say that it did not leave me a little bit on the smug side of things. Not t

EMMA Xander scooped me up bridal style and ran towards the packhouse. I looked up at him, taking in his handsome face that was filled with such determination. It was easy to see that his torture of me also tortured himself. Two could play at that game. My fingers trailed down his neck and across his collarbone. My lips connected with the juncture of his neck that would one day bear my mark for all to see. I teased it with my lips at first and then my teeth. He angled his neck to the side, to give me more access. I bit it harder than I ever had before. A growl slipped from his lips, making me do it again. We made it to our bedroom in record time. He nearly tore the door off the hinges to get it open and kicked shut with a loud thud. That predatory aura oozed off him, making my thighs clench. My breath whooshed from my lungs as my back collided with the wall. His lips captured mine with bruising and demanding force. It was hard, rough, and I needed more of it. He bit down hard on m
