Adira
Hank, alpha Parkâs beta is working with the enemies and is the reason they knew about their trip and kidnapped his people. He was a spy for Zion.
âWhy did he want to kill us?â I asked,
âHe was scared⦠Maybe,â the woman answered.
âAnd where is your daughter?â I asked.
âSheâs amongst the people that were kidnapped,â she answered.
âThe alphaâs beta is a traitor, a spy,â I mind-linked Wyatt.
âIâll deal with him. Stay safe,â he said. I left the wing, asking the men to release the woman.
I was anxious, waiting for my mate. Hours went by and they were not back. What was taking them so wrong? Did something go wrong? None of the packhouse members were able to sleep, just waiting. I held a crying girl, Joy, in my arms, her mother was one of the abducted women.
With my sharp hearing, I heard several cars approach before they could enter the gates.
âThey are here!â I announced and everyone cheered, getting to their feet and rushing outside.
A long line of cars were stopped a few miles from us and people started getting out. I heard sighs of relief and cries as members hugged the newcomers, others were hurt and beaten but it didnât look too serious.
âWhereâs your mama?â I asked the young girl, her big eyes were looking through the crowd and her heart drop when she saw everyone hugging their mamas and siblings.
âI canât see her, Luna,â she cried, I hugged her. Another Suv arrived and we waited patiently for everyone to get out of the car.
âJoy?â a frail voice called, and Joy smiled, running to her mother who hugged her.
âMy baby, I missed you so much, how are you?â she cried.
âIâm fine Mama, I was missing you a lot,â
The mother and daughter shared a tight embrace and she called me with her fingers, I went to them.
âMama, this is the Luna Queen, she stayed with me and comforted me, â Joy said, she was relieved that her mother was safe.
âThank you so much, Queen Adira,â Joyâs mother said. I could tell she was weak and had visible bruises on her pale skin. She also had a deep cut on her leg that was taking longer to heal. I held her hand and healed her.
âThank you,â she hugged me. I left them to reunite with their loved ones and looked around for my mate; I immediately found him, talking to a sullen Alpha Park and Aspen. Our eyes met and he opened his arms, and I ran into them. He kissed my hair.
âHow are you?â we asked in unison, we chuckled and he caressed my cheek with his slender long fingers.
âHow are you?â he asked.
âI was worried about you,â I said.
âIâm alright,â
âAnd the beta?â I asked, seeing that he wasnât among the team that came back.
âHe tried to attack his alpha during the search and alpha Park injured him so he was sent to the hospital, he has to tell us what he knows about Zion,â Wyatt said.
The alphas discussed what happened and I was happy that everyone survived with minor injuries even though it broke my heart that some women were assaulted. Joyâs mother was one of them.
âWe should rest up, tomorrow we have to talk to Hank,â Alpha Park said.
We were assigned guests suite; they were comfortable and I was glad to go there as I missed being in Wyattâs arms. Aspen was hesitant though, he wanted to see his mate but didnât have the courage to.
âJust go,â I encouraged, he nodded slowly and went to the wing where his mate was.
I was pressed against the door as soon as we entered the bedroom and Wyattâs lips descended on my neck.
âI missed you,â he whispered in my ear. He lifted my top over my head and tossed it to the ground. He reached for my bra and tore it in one movement.
âHey,â I complained, he only smirked, his l**t-filled eyes on my breasts. He began kissing my lips, the k**s was deep and sensual, making my core throb. And slowly, I was losing myself in pleasure. He pulled away from me and intently stared into my eyes. He once again, shoved his tongue in my mouth, dominating the k**s while his fingers caressed my body gently, my p***y was dripping wet for him and when he slammed in me, I screamed.
âYes!â
Our voices of pleasure were what could be heard throughout the room and Wyatt made love to me with passion and all the goodness. Only he could make me feel the way I do right now and I sang about how much I loved him because I did.
âMore, more!â I begged. Tears were rolling down my face, thatâs how good he made me feel. He abruptly switched away position so I was on all four walls and he entered me. I gripped the bed headboard and he pumped in me, making me cum as he slapped my a*s, however, he didnât stop there. He continued his pleasuring me, making my bones weak.
I was trembling, and breathing heavily.
âI love you so f*****g much,â he whispered, licking my earlock and in a moment of pleasure, I felt his canines extend in an attempt to mark me but I moved away quickly. Realizing what he was about to do, he growled loudly, still in me. He buried himself deeper within me and moved until he reached his peak.
He rolled next to me, and kissed my nose, â Sorry, I got carried away,â he breathed and I caressed his face, kissing him.
âYouâll mark me soon, just be patient,â I said and he nodded, pouting like a child.
We were both covered in sweat but didnât have the energy to get up and shower so we just slept.
âAdira wake up,â My mate was waking me gently, the voice sounded distant and my eyes couldnât open. I willed myself to open my eyes and look at him.
âYou were crying and thrashing in your sleep,â he said and my hand flew to my neck, remembering the dream I had. Zion marked me.
I jumped into his arms and he held me tightly.
âHe marked me,â I cried, my eyes beating erratically.
âThat will never happen, it was just a dream. I wonât let that happen,â Wyatt growled.
I felt an irritation on my neck, and scratched however, the burning sensation was intensifying each second.
âMy neck hurts,â I whimpered. Wyatt pulled away and inspected it.
âWhat?â I asked but he was deep in thought. I jumped out of bed and went to the mirror, there was a disgusting red rash on my neck and it burnt.
Aspen
My mate, my mate who I longed to see and dreaded at the same time was behind that door. Janice, Janice, I said softly, tasting her lovely name on my tongue. My mate was beautiful, she had a symmetrical face, plump lips, and long raven hair with a slim body.
I pushed the door open and her teary-stained gaze found mine,
âHi,â I said, sitting on the edge of her bed. She didnât say a word and I wondered if she was mute.
âIâm Aspen⦠Aspen Masons,â I said and she nodded. â Can you talk, Janice?â I asked, I didnât want to offend her but I wanted to know. She shook her head and turned her gaze away from me. I wanted to learn about her but I didnât know how, she still seemed to be in shock at all that happened and I didnât know yet if Iâd accept her as my mate or if she wanted me as a mate. She was a dark wolf and their way was different from ours, they didnât believe in mate bonds.
We stayed in silence, just looking at each other. Janice has been through a lot, and I didnât understand my next actions; I held her hand, and the dark veins in her system instantly disappeared as the sparks erupted on our skin. She was startled and I smiled.
âDo you like being a dark wolf?â I asked and she shook her head.
âJanice, do you want to accept this mate bond?â I asked, she stared at me with an empty gaze, her eyes not giving away her answer and after what seemed like an eternity, she nodded once but tears spill from her eyes. I cupped her face when more tears rolled down her beautiful face.
âDonât cry, please,â I said, wiping away her tears with my thumb. Why was she crying? My wolf and I didnât like it all. I pulled her in an embrace and held her, she was shaking like a leaf.
âDonât cry,â I cooed.
âY- yo- you d-donât w-want m-me,â she stammered and I pulled away. She closed her eyes and drew in breath like she used up most of her energy. I smiled, happy that I heard her wonderful voice. â I- I -I so your hatred, y- you hate me b- because I- Iâm a dark w- wolf,â
âI donât hate you, I was indeed surprised but I donât hate you,â I told her, she just frowned, not believing me. I hated that she didnât believe me. I might not have been ecstatic to find her but I didnât detest her.
âTell me about yourself⦠Mate,â I said, and she looked surprised. She exhaled, opening and closing her mouth.
âIâm n-nineteen y-years old, and m- my p-parents w-were k-killed b-by r-rogue wo-wolves w-when I was ten,â she closed her eyes, hating talking about it. â Th-they were g-gammas a- and were loyal t-to Z-Zion so after their death, h- he took me in, and t-trained me to b- be a w-warrior and s-spy,â
âIâm sorry you went through all that,â I told her. She was only a child and didnât deserve to grow up in such an environment, with such a terrible man. I wanted to ask more, ask about Zionâs location but it was enough for one day. As if reading my thoughts she said;
âI- I donât â know where Z-Zionâs c-currently is because he m- moves a lot, b- but I know w-where some o- of h-his v- villas are,â she said. Why would she want to give away that information, was she that disloyal?
âAnd you will tell us where their location is?â I asked and she nodded.
âWhy?â
She didnât answer, only glared at me with frustration. The smell of b***d invaded my nostrils and I noticed she dug her extended claws in her hand, drawing b***d.
I gently grabbed her hands and she stopped.
âShould I stay here tonight,â I asked, she furrowed her brows and I added, â Iâll just lie next to you,â
âO- Ok,â
