I thought he smelled different but was just in too much of a hurry to notice. He wasn’t human. “What are you?”
“Let’s just say I’m different than the humans and yourself. The boss has taken a liking to Evelyn and she’s his now. Don’t ever worry about her. He wouldn’t do anything to harm her, and no one would be stupid enough to test him.”
“He looks familiar. Is he an actor, too?”
“Yes, he is. He’s English and usually performs on the stage instead of in front of the cameras. Normally, he doesn’t watch the news, but your antics caught his attention. The moment her image came up on the screen, he wanted to tear you to shreds. He needed to meet her and make her his.” I held onto Carolyn like I might have to fight this jackass for her. I knew what he was; I had smelled the stench before. They weren’t our enemies, but they were like wild animals. They couldn’t be trusted and would say the same about us.
After taking Carolyn to lunch, I brought her back to see her sister. I didn’t care if they were still fucking, we needed some answers. Carolyn needed some peace of mind.
The doorman let us up, and the big bastard opened the door. “Hello Mr. Holt, Ms. Denney. I am Charles Aldridge. Please come in.” He acted as though he owned the place. Their scent was in the air and it ticked me off that Evelyn smelled a little like my mate. I watched the way Charles looked at Carolyn, but there was nothing but civility in his expression. I wrapped my arm tightly around her waist, claiming her as mine. Charles laughed at my stance. “Mr. Holt, like you, I’ve no intention of deviating from my Evelyn.”
Evelyn came out of the bedroom dressed in a short robe that garnered a jealous grumble from the sophisticated, snobbish man in front of me.
Carolyn was out of my arms and in her sister’s in an instant. I saw Charles smile and I wanted to deck him.
“What do I have to do to get you to understand that I will never desire Carolyn. My kind is just like yours.”
“Really?”
“Yes, so know that she is safest with me.”
The sisters were gabbing about Evelyn getting married in two days. I could hear her thinking about a wedding. I want to get married, she thought with a sigh.
We will love. Let’s make it a double.
“Evelyn has one more day of filming tomorrow morning, so we’re getting married the next day and then we’re moving to my home in Devonshire.”
“Carolyn wants to get married, too. How about a double?”
“If that’ll please my dear Evelyn, then that’s what we will do. I personally couldn’t care either way.”
We all went out to dinner together that night to celebrate our happiness. The press was all over us.
“Carolyn. Carolyn. Is it true? There’s a rumor that a drug addict broke into your home, then OD’d when the police got there. Carolyn. Is it true?”
“My future sister-in-law isn’t in the acting spotlight for a reason. Please respect her privacy and leave us be.” Charles said. Nice way to deflect the attention.
“Did you say sister-in-law?” a photog asked. More flashes went off and my face shifted to pure rage. I didn’t like all these bastards taking my mate’s photo. There were too many perverts out there.
“Yes, he did. Now get the hell away from my table,” I demanded.
Chapter Thirteen
“Evelyn, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for misjudging the scene that day.”
“Carolyn, you had every right to lose your mind at that moment. The moment I saw Charles, nothing could explain the emotions that washed over me. Love, passion, and an all-consuming need became my reality. I’d be utterly destroyed if our situation had been in reversed.”
“Thanks, sister. I knew you wouldn’t do that me, but my eyes let my heart rule. He’s my happily ever after and I was afraid it had been taken from me.”
“It’s okay. I can understand because I’m the pretty one,” she teased, playing with her hair. I swatted at her and we both cracked up laughing.
“So where are you two going to live?”
“He has a home in London and Yorkshire, so we’ll be living mostly in England. He did say we could come visit anytime I liked. I just need to ask.”
“I’m going to miss you. I know we only see each other when you’re not filming, but it’ll still be hard having you so far away. By the way, are you still going to act or is he locking you down on that.”
“He wants us to do something on stage together, but he also wants me having his kids.” She didn’t sound upset about it, which made me happy because I was a little worried. Charles was handsome, but there was something about him that seemed scary. Not to mention, he killed Overton by himself. He had to be a badass.
“So tell me about Kane. I met him and we had a wonderful dinner, but all he could do was ask me about you. It was vital to him that I explained everything I could.”
“He’s amazing. You know what he is, but he’s more than that. As the Alpha of his pack he keeps them flourishing and acts as the town’s mayor. Kane has a younger sister and some other family members, but like our parents, his died so many years ago.”
“Was it as good as it was for me?” she asked, wagging her brows suggestively.
“I don’t think it could get any better,” I said with a moan. I caught Kane’s eyes from across the room. Baby, stop that. I’m trying to get shit together, and you’ve got me thinking about your pussy.
Sorry. I can’t help it. My eyes met his and I purred. I heard a growl rip through him, making me laugh. When we had some privacy, I was going to be in trouble. My sister understood that something was going on that she didn’t understand.
“Tell me about it. I’m aching for him right now,” Evelyn said, staring at her man.
I was so happy we were both marrying men we couldn’t do without, but I was going to miss her. We hugged tight and started planning our wedding, which the men wanted like yesterday.
We flew down to Vegas to get the ceremony over with, but, of course, Evelyn was fast becoming a household name so the paparazzi found us. After a big Hollywood shotgun wedding, I took my bride back to Redding. It was a long drive, but we made it work. It got dark about an hour before we reached my hometown, so I took my beloved and showed her how much I loved her grey coat.
“I didn’t get to tell you this earlier because I was occupied one way or another, but your fur is so perfect, Kane.”
“I think you make a beautiful wolf, Carolyn. Are you interested in stretching your legs and going for a run?”
“Can we?”
“Sure, we’ll go deep into the woods, strip, then shift.”
“Okay.”
We sauntered down the hill and undressed, leaving our clothes in a pile, but seeing her bare flesh was too much for me and I forgot about shifting and took her just as she was. She was stunned by my blitz attack on her sweet ass but easily surrendered. I nipped lightly on her cheek before pushing us down to the ground. With her on all fours, it didn’t matter if we shifted or not, I wanted to be inside her. I sniffed her heat that started to coat the air around us. It was like a drug to me. Roughly, I parted her thighs, taking in her scent as I buried my nose in her pussy. With a deep breath, I inhaled her. Her body called mine as my tongue lapped up her sweetness. I parted her thighs farther apart so I could get deeper into her. My face was wet with her desire as she moaned out her release. Howling into the night air, I rose up and mounted my mate from behind. We were joined in one thrust. Fully seated inside her, I could feel the wolf in me itching to dominate.
Gripping her hair, I pulled her to my chest with my other hand wrapped around her waist. Her pale skin was illuminated by the moonlight, and I drove up into her. With her thighs resting on mine, we ground together. I cupped and turned her chin so I could taste the lips that sang out praise for our passion.
Kane, I love it, don’t stop, my lover. Oh God, touch my breasts.
She threw her head onto my shoulder, giving me better access to her tongue. Our bodies pumped an
d rocked together slowly.
I love you, Carolyn. Now, come for me before I have to spank that perfect ass of yours. I can’t wait to feel your walls grip my cock until I give up the goods. Which won’t be...long…love. I’m so close to coming.
“I’m coming,” she cried out. Her pussy held my cock hostage while I emptied my cum deep into her womb. With each thrust I grunted out, jetting more of my seed inside.
Feels so good.
Yes, it does. Yes, it does.
We sat in the thatch of leaves and grass, holding each other until the moon was directly over us and a loud howl could be heard a few yards away.
A howl was like a voice; you could distinguish the person from it. Fucking Hunter.
We dressed fast and got into our vehicle. I knew I was in Wolfe Creek, but didn’t realize that Hunter would be out with Catherine.
“Oh my, do you think they saw us?”
“It’s possible, but maybe they were just roaming their area and decided to enjoy the night. I’ll introduce you to them sometime this week.”
“That’d be great.”
Chapter Fourteen
By the next morning, our house was crowded with visitors. Kane didn’t know if everyone would just show up, but it’s clear they all wanted to know what happened to him since he left a week ago. The first people to arrive were a young redhead with bright green eyes and a body similar to mine, maybe a little leaner, and she was with a tall, handsome man who was almost as giant as Kane.
“Carolyn, I’d like you to meet the real Arabella and Gage.”
Arabella rushed me and hugged as tightly as she could. “It’s so wonderful to meet you, Carolyn. The men were starting to outnumber the women. The odds are evening up.”
“Really, I could always go back to Wolfe Creek where I’m wanted,” Gage said.
“Oh, quit it. You’re so full of it. You aren’t going anywhere.”
“That’s because you won’t let me.” He smirked.
I thought you said they weren’t mated.
They’re not. They are really close. It’s the reason they knew to use Gage and Arabella because it’s obvious to everyone that they’re fated.
Oh. Well, I like these two much better than their imposters, I teased.
Thank heavens for that. He laughed and pulled me into his arms, squeezing me tight.
“Seriously, please stop with the mushy shit. Hunter and Chloe and their mates are always on each other. It’s annoying.”
“Only because it isn’t you getting laid. Your turn will come soon.”
“Not soon enough,” Gage grumbled to himself.
“Tell me about it,” Arabella said in a huff. Her pouty look was shared between them. I arched my brow because they were so cute. After Kane had explained the whole mating thing to me, I thought this wasn’t normal.
It’s not normal.
We all gathered around for some breakfast that Arabella and I were cooking when in walked two more guests. Hunter and Catherine. Seeing them in person, I flushed immediately. From the look Catherine gave me, I knew they had to have seen us.
We all started talking and I could see that Cat was seriously pregnant, but still moving around like it was nothing. Once the meal was done being cooked and all the men set it up for us, four more guests arrived. The Wolfe Creek sheriff and his wife Chloe came in followed by Creed Holt and his wife. Everyone was introduced and I was glad Arabella told me to make more than I had planned. She stocked up the fridge for us yesterday before we came back. She wasn’t staying here, though, she’d been with Gage at Creed’s house.
Munching away, I was ravenous. It was like I hadn’t eaten in a long time. We ate before bed last night, but we woke up several times in the night for some hardcore loving.
“So, I thought you and your sister were identical twins,” Cat said.
“We are,” I answered with a confused look.
“But your boobs look so different than in the movie.”
I blushed from head to toe with embarrassment.
“Her sister has a no nudity clause,” Kane snarled.
Three days after we arrived, Kane held a meeting and a mini press conference in the small gym to introduce me as his wife and the Alpha’s right-hand woman. I thought I was going to catch some attitude, but I didn’t. Everyone was welcoming. From the youngest pup to the elders, I felt the respect. Within the first few months, I became the woman everyone came to with questions. It surprised me when it happened, but I knew it was my duty as the Alpha’s mate. Once it was confirmed that I was carrying the future of the pack, I was forced to stay home as often as possible, but that didn’t mean I was bored or lonely. With my life before Kane being spent in front of my computer, I returned to working as a web designer. Kane didn’t mind because I didn’t have to leave the house for it.
The females of the pack came to work at the house with me. Since they made trinkets and things to sell for the pack online, we all had something to do. I built up an excellent website for the sales and added different ways to promote the business. I loved the pack life. I loved my Kane.
Epilogue
I heard the howl rip through the night. I raced to the house to find my family lying there in a heaping pool of blood. My world was over. I hoped that my fate would come in the next minute or I’d end myself right there. Crumbling to my knees, I saw Overton standing over me with a cruel smirk on his face.
I howled in pain as I took my eyes from him and looked down at my pups and my beautiful woman lying lifeless.
The howling continued until I shifted and got kicked off the bed. Pawing around in a circle confused as fuck, I saw my wife on the bed, sitting up glaring.
“Damn it, Kane. What the fuck are you doing shifting in bed?” Carolyn shouted at me grumpily.
Sorry, love. I had a nightmare.
Again. He’s dead, Kane. Overton died. Dan wouldn’t dare come back after us.
I guess it’s because you’re too good to be true, Carolyn. I love you. I shifted back, standing tall with my cock hard as hell and my heart pounding. Her eyes widened with appreciation.
“No one’s going to come after us, love. It’s been six years. Dan is probably dead somewhere.”
“I know; so why don’t you help me get my mind off of it?”
“Will this help?” She slid the covers from her large breasts and past her sweet pussy. My mouth watered and all thoughts of an attack on my family disappeared. I crept to the bed, stalking her like prey. Pouncing onto my lovely mate, I kissed her lips roughly. My teeth gnashed in our frenzied need to mate. Blood pooled straight into my cock. I rubbed the head against her clit, back and forth, extracting moans from her parted lips.
I’m going to tear your sweet pussy up tonight.
You better.
I will.
I thrust into her heat; her warmth sending me to the brink.
I felt her emotions run wild, throbbing and asking for more. Kane, it’s so deep…umm…Carolyn pushed her hips up. I pressed harder into her, rocking the bed. We both laughed, thankful that the kids were with my sister for the night.
The thought that we were completely alone hit us both at the same time, and I knew that tonight neither of us had any intention of sleeping. She ran her hands through my hair, tugging and pulling my face to hers. Nipping at my lips, I growled and nipped back. This was how she wanted it tonight. Fucking hell, yeah. My hands gripped her thighs and pulled them closer, pushing my cock deeper until I could feel her slight pain.
“Yes, Yes. I want it hard. Kane me, baby.”
Giving in to my mate, I pumped mercilessly into her heat, biting her breast then sucking her nipple hard enough for her back to bend. She moaned as I marked my territory over and over again. She wasn’t leaving the house this weekend until she was carrying my next child in her. Thoughts of her birthing my pups again set me off. I nutted hard. Grunting and thrusting in and out of her did nothing to soften my cock. I was still stiff as fuck.
“Fuck, Carolyn. I just ca
me, but I’m still so fucking hard right now, I couldn’t pull out of your tight pussy even if I wanted to…and I don’t want to.”
We pulled at each other, trying to get as close as we could, not getting enough of the waves of pleasure running through us. Every aching bit of desire was shared between us.
Her teeth grazed the flesh on my chest, sending tingling sensations down my spine. With my hands cupping her face, I pulled her to meet my eyes. The hunger was so intense, I involuntarily thrust harder into her. The light of her eyes brightened and she started calling out my name. “Kane, Kane.”
We had shared one last kiss before I emptied out into her. I knew I scored this time. I felt it. Our tired, sweaty bodies collapsed on the bed in a heap of limp limbs. With her wrapped up in my arms, we fell asleep.
I woke up to a rustling in the house. Carolyn was in my arms and the kids weren’t home. I jumped quietly out of bed, sniffed the air, and a familiar stench hit my nostrils. My eyes darkened and my wolf was ready for the hunt. It was a foul smell I could never forget. Daniel Danks was in my home.
He’s here? She asked silently.
I leaned over the bed and kissed her passionately before pulling away to deal with the trash. Yes, but stay in this room and put some clothes on. This will be over soon.
For Good.
I could smell his scent close. Locking the bedroom door, I exited out the bedroom window and ran around to the nearest entrance. I watched as he tried to jimmy the door unlocked.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Danks?”
“Shit. You were supposed to be sleeping or too busy doing your bitch.”
“So you want a slow death it seems.” I stalked toward him menacingly.
“I’m not the weakling I was then.”
“How come you didn’t die from the tainted drugs?”
“Because I was the one who tainted them. She was becoming a burden I didn’t want to deal with anymore.” He killed his sister?
He did? She gasped internally.
Shit, I didn’t shut her out. I couldn’t let her in at this moment. This motherfucker was nuts.
