Nikki POV Frankie stilled between my thighs. “What?” he said hoarsely. I shifted my hips trying to grind against him. “Don’t stop this time Frankie. Just fuck me.” I whimpered out still craving contact. “Nikki, you don’t want me to do that. If we aren’t mates, then how will you explain to your mate that before you found him, that you already gave your virginity to someone else?” Frankie said in a serious tone. “Frankie, I don’t care. I could die tomorrow in another attack and all that we would have managed to do here today is give you blue balls. I want to experience this while it is still my choice to be with someone I care about without the bond. And most of all, I want to feel something besides this unending black hole of grief inside of me.” I said a few tears starting to run down my face. Frankie slid up my body and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. “Nikki, I am so sorry you are hurting right now, but is this a choice you want to make? Please understand, I want you. I want you ba

Frankie POV I love getting out on the stretch of road between Cold Moon Territory and the city. It is my moment to be a little rebellious, and put the gas pedal to the floor in my Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody. She’s pure sleek muscle, fast as hell, and purple. And when I am driving her, I am just Frankie not the Alpha Heir. Between the rogue attacks and Nikki, I haven’t been to the city in a bit. I am not complaining, I rarely actually go to the city, but I am meeting someone who supposedly has some intel on the rogue attacks. I pull up in front of the storefront and get out of my car and go in. Definitely not a hub of activity as I am the only one here. There is a worker that I am not sure if they are male or female and I don’t want to start this off by insulting anyone using a wrong pronoun. As I step up to a display case the worker looks up and asks, “May I help you?” “Yes, I am looking for someone named Simone,” I replied. “All information comes at a cost. What are you b

Nikki POV These last two weeks have really flown by. There have been several mini attacks and I have been in the Alpha mansion bunker for each of them. Frankie and our friends and I have gotten my mother’s house completely cleaned out. Most everything has been donated, except what I am taking off to school with me and some memory things that belonged to my parents, that I am storing at the Alpha mansion. Mostly pictures, and memorabilia of milestones in the lives of my parents and I. I haven’t asked Alpha Kieran what he is going to do with the house and truthfully I don’t want to know. “Tomorrow is the big day,” Alpha Kieran said, as I walked into the mansion. “Yes Alpha, It is,” I replied, baring my neck in submission. “Do you have everything set to go? Plenty of moving help?” he asked. “Yes Alpha, I should be fine. Frankie and the other heirs are my moving crew and Luna Fran is coming to sign the paperwork as my legal guardian, since I won’t be 18 for a couple of months yet. So by

Frankie POV Walking through the suite this morning to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind, I stopped to see my mom finish packing her duffel and I knocked on her door frame. She looked up and smiled, “Good morning my son. What can I do for you this morning?” I walked over to my mom, I needed a mom hug this morning. “Mom, I am so afraid I am going to lose her. Kolt is restless and gives me a headache. Would you mind if Marcus or Tatum drives today? Being near Nikki seems to calm my wolf,” I sighed, as my mother hugged me tighter, I am a mama’s boy at heart, what can I say? “Sure thing my boy. This isn’t going to be easy on you and I am sorry. Let’s just hope the Blood Moon confirms what we already suspect,” mom said, rubbing my back while she’s hugging me. “Thanks. I don’t know what I am going to do while she’s gone.” I confess to my mom my feelings in a way I can’t with anyone else. “Well, you’re going to get this rogue problem solved. Find who is responsible for her mother’

Nikki POV Pulling up in front of the pack house, I see a couple standing out front. The man is handsome with tanned skin and piercing gray eyes. The woman is beautiful. She stands about a foot shorter than the man with shoulder length brown with blonde highlighted hair and the most infectious smile I have ever seen. Getting out of Luna Fran’s Durango I hear the woman say, “Frannie, so nice to see you! Oh my goodness, you must be Frankie, you look just like Alpha Kieran. And this must be Nikki.” She enveloped each of us in a bone crushing hug as she said our names. “I am so glad to see you Frannie, I have missed you so much. Very nice to meet you Frankie and Nikki, I am Luna Hope and this is my mate Alpha Isha,” she said. Alpha Isha shook each of our hands and said, “Welcome to Desert Moon Pack, we are honored to have you as our guests.” We bared our necks in submission to the host Alpha and Luna then followed them into the pack house. Where we were introduced to the Beta and Gamma
