Broken (The Onyx Wolves Book 2)

by Raven K. Asher

  “Is everything alright?” He questions worried inside of my head.

  Before I can even answer Emmett jumps up from the edge of my bed and stalks towards Dillon before getting directly into his face. “What is a second doing coming into his alpha’s room?

  “You didn’t even wait for her to give permission to enter her room.” Emmett snarls.

  “Just stand still, Dillon.” I command in his head.

  He gives a slight nod as he bows his head away from Emmett to show his submission to an alpha.

  “He came in because I let him.” I state as I move next to Emmett.

  I motion towards my head. “He asked for permission.”

  Emmett doesn’t move as he continues to stare Dillon down. “Next time I want to hear you give permission. He will not be tolerated barging into a room unannounced.”

  Not having any of this I grab hold of Emmett’s chin and force him to look at me. “You will not give any member of my pack commands. They take commands from me only until I pick a mate.” I growl.

  Glaring into my eyes Emmett bares his teeth to me before closing his eyes.

  “Leave now, Dillon. I will take care of this and we can talk later.” I order gently into Dillon’s mind as I glance over to him.

  “Will you be alright?” He questions into my mind.

  “I will be fine.” I reply.

  He nods and the turns reluctantly to leave.

  Once he’s out the door and it shuts Emmett opens his eyes.

  He shakes my hand off of his chin and then proceeds to grab my hips roughly. “You will not undermine me like that again, not in front of a beta wolf.”

  I growl. “And you will never treat me like this again if you want to be chosen. I will not tolerate a controlling mate.”

  With a low snarl Emmett’s eyes heat and before I know what’s happening he has my back pinned against the wall as his teeth nip at my neck.

  The whole situation had flipped around in a matter of seconds.

  And I wasn’t exactly angry about it.

  His body holding mine felt good.

  He was everything opposite of what Gage had been and it set my body on fire for him.

  It wasn’t love, it was a need and want that I longed for in order to forget everything that weighed me down day after day.

  I longed for that bliss.

  And as my mind gets swept away with the fire I allow myself to be free.

  It didn’t matter now who I was with.

  It had only mattered when I had been paired with a mate the first time and London had messed that up.

  So, right here right now I figured there would be no harm.

  My hands grasp at Emmett’s clothes as his lips trail down my neck.

  I moan softly for him as his hands begin moving just under my shirt.

  We both freeze in place when my door opens.

  Emmett sniffs the air ready for a fight but pauses to look at me in question. “A human is here?” He whispers.

  Peeking over his shoulder I spot Ariel.

  “I’m so sorry, Parker. I knocked but no one answered. I thought something was wrong.” Ariel apologizes quickly.

  “It’s alright, Ariel, you don’t have to be sorry.” I reassure.

  Placing me on the floor again Emmett schools his features before turning to face Ariel.

  She blushes and bows her head. “Harley sent me up to see if you wanted to watch a movie with us in the theater room.”

  “Yeah, I’ll be down in a minute. I just have to…” I trail off not knowing what to say.

  “We’ll be down.” Emmett repeats softly.

  Ariel nods and then nearly rushes out of the room.

  Emmett turns to me with a questioning look.

  “I have human friends.” I sigh. “It’s a long story that I promise to tell you someday.”

  He grins and nods his head. “Yes, you will. I have a feeling you have a lot of surprises up your sleeves.”

  “You don’t even know the half of it.” I snort.

  “Do you want to watch the movie or would you rather finish what we started?” Emmett questions with a cocky smirk.

  I place my hand against his chest and rub it up and down across his smooth muscles. “As much as I want to finish what we started my friends will continue to interrupt us until I join them.”

  “Then we’ll watch a movie.” Emmett sighs.

  I grin. “We can still finish this when it’s over.”

  Emmett snorts as he leans in for a tender kiss. “I like the way you think.”

  “Go ahead and save me a seat. I’m just going to use the bathroom for a moment before I join you, okay.” I state.

  He nods. “Where exactly is this theater room?”

  “It’s past my father’s office.” I answer.

  Leaning in for one more kiss Emmett leaves me alone in my room.

  I run my hands through my hair as I let out a long breath. I couldn’t believe what I had almost done with Emmett.

  I had only just met him to boot.

  Still I wanted him, every inch of him.

  My skin ached for his touch again.

  I swear I was going mad. This wasn’t like me at all. I was never the one to just throw myself at someone just for pleasure.

  But right now that’s all I wanted, I wanted to get lost.

  After a moment I turn to leave my room but come face to face with Ford.

  He eyes dart around the room before landing on me. “You need to be careful around him, you know.”

  “Who, who should I be careful around?” I ask playing the part of being clueless.

  “You know who. He thinks he’s being smart but I see right through him. He’s a dangerous wolf, Parker, and you need to watch your back around him.” Ford replies.

  “He seems fine to me, Ford.” I sigh.

  “Think about it for a minute. How does someone from a pack that has been proven dead suddenly just appear out of thin air? The Draco Pack was destroyed by the Hunters. They wouldn’t have left a single one of the wolves alive.” Ford explains.

  “It’s possible though that a few of them stayed hidden and survived.” I argue.

  He shrugs. “It’s possible but if I was you I’d watch my back. You’re a very valuable wolf, Parker. There are a lot of packs and people who would love to get their hands on you.”

  “Why are you telling me this?” I ask next.

  He shrugs again. “An alpha should always have someone to watch their back for them. That’s how my pack has survived for as long as it has. We are always alert and ready for anything.”

  “Well, thank you for watching my back but I think I can handle things if they go badly.” I reply confidently.

  He sighs roughly and rubs the back of his neck. “I sure hope things don’t go badly for you. You are too beautiful of a soul to lose.”

  I smile. “Thank you, Ford.”

  He grins. “You’re welcome, Parker.”

  Leaning in I give him a quick kiss on his cheek.

  It was innocent but he takes it a step farther.

  In a smooth move he places his hand on my lower back before dipping me back and then placing his lips against mine in a passionate kiss.

  After a moment he stands me back upright before leaving the room, leaving me in shock and surprise.

  I hadn’t been expecting that.

  But then again I had been expecting something from him.

  Laughing I catch my breath and then run my hands over my clothes as I compose myself in order to join the others.

  I had to wipe that just been kissed look off my face before I faced Emmett again.

  I didn’t need him to start a fight with anyone.

  Moving quickly I leave my room and shut the door behind me, but before I even get to the stairs I’m forced to come face to face with a very angry Emmett.

  I inwardly ready myself.

  But just as I expect him to yell at me or back me against the wall with a fierce growl his face bre
aks out into a bright smile.

  “I figured I would wait for you.” He states calmly.

  “You didn’t have to do that.” I argue lightly as I move forward.

  He shrugs. “It’s not a big deal, plus I’m glad I did. I learned something new about you while I was waiting.”

  My brow rises in curiosity as my heart picks up speed. “And what would that have been?”

  He chuckles before grabbing me like Ford had just done. I’m dipped back before his lips crash into mine in a demanding way.

  I moan softly before he stands me upright again with a huge smile upon his lips. “You enjoy being swept off your feet.” He answers my question.

  I laugh and playfully smack his arm.

  He suddenly reaches for me but I dodge him and run down the stairs as fast as I can.

  With a loud laugh he rushes after me.

  Running as fast as my legs would carry me I run through the house as I continue to laugh.

  It was the freest I had felt in a very long time, maybe even freer than I had ever felt since I had been a small child.

  Suddenly strong arms circle me and I squeal as I’m lifted up and over Emmett’s shoulder.

  He pants for his next breath as he laughs and begins carrying me towards the theater room. “You are unlike anyone I have ever met before, Parker.”

  His hand then smacks my butt.

  It causes me to laugh harder as I smack his.

  As we reach the doors to the theater room Emmett places me back to my feet before running his hands through my hair as he gazes deep into my eyes.

  “I haven’t felt that good in a very long time. Thank you, Parker.” He states softly.

  I smile as I place my hand against his cheek. “I haven’t laughed like that in a very long time either. It felt too good.”

  With a soft sigh he turns his attention towards the doors before looking back to me. “We should go inside before they miss you anymore.”

  I nod and take his hand in mine before pushing the doors open and leading him inside.

  The movie was already playing so we silently make our way down to one of the larger couches.

  Emmett lays down first and then pats the space in front of him for me to join.

  I slowly lay down with him and revel in the feeling of his arm as it pulls me snuggly against his body behind me.

  Laying there I couldn’t help but wonder over Ford’s warning.

  And it worried me that Emmett was keeping secrets.

  I was also worried that he had overheard the conversation between Ford, and I.

  If I continued whatever this was between me and Emmett I was going to have to tread carefully. The last thing I wanted to do was get on his bad side.

  All those thoughts are pushed back as Emmett’s warm breath fans across my cheek before his hand reaches up to push my hair away from my neck.

  “I can’t get enough of you.” He whispers as his lips begin trailing down my neck.

  I moan softly and close my eyes.

  “We can hear you, Parker.” Dillon grunts into my mind.

  I groan with frustration as I reach back and stop Emmett from continuing.

  “What’s wrong?” He whispers into my ear.

  “They can hear us.” I sigh softly as I turn to face him.

  This time he groans.

  “Just go, we’ll have time later to have fun as a pack.” Dillon calls out loud as someone tosses popcorn at us.

  I snort and then sit up on the couch as I flip him off.

  Harley tosses more popcorn at me and I gasp dramatically.

  “Go already before we change our minds and split the two of you up like naughty children.” Harley teases.

  “Well, I’m not about to test that.” Emmett grunts as he picks me up. “I don’t want to end up getting spanked.”

  Dillon, Damon, Harley and Ariel burst into laughter.

  “Don’t do anything I would.” Damon yells as Emmett carries me through the theater room and then through the doors.

  I giggle all the way up to my room before quickly becoming serious.

  Emmett doesn’t waste any time in pushing me against the nearest wall as his lips crash into mine and his hands grab at my shirt to pull it over my head.

  I follow suit and grab his and tug it over his head.

  Lifting me up, he wraps my legs around his waist before carrying me over to my bed.

  As he lays me down and kisses down my body I have to close my eyes as the scent of Blue fills my senses.

  And instead of wanting Emmett I find myself wanting Blue.

  I long for him even as Emmett slides my pants off and then releases me from my panties.

  Instead of focusing on Emmett I imagine that his lips against my skin are Blue’s, and I pretend his hands warming my skin and his breath fanning over my body to be Blue’s as well.

  I easily get lost in that dream world.

  And that is the point when I know I was lost to Blue.

  He was the only one that I truly wanted.

  He would be my mate when this was all said and done.

  I was his.

  16-Swept Away

  “How was your night last night, Parker?” Harley asks as I join her in the kitchen for breakfast.

  I had left Emmett sound asleep in my room.

  When I woke up I had regretted my decision to sleep with him but still found myself wanting to wake him up just to do it all over again.

  “I don’t even know, Harley.” I sigh roughly as I scoot my eggs around on my plate.

  “What does that mean? You did sleep with him, didn’t you?” She questions.

  I nod my head and lean in closer to her. “I did but through the whole thing I imagined myself with someone else.” I confess.

  Harley’s eyes widen. “Who was it?”

  I groan and bow my head. “It was Blue. He was all I could think of.” I admit softly.

  “Oh my god, that’s crazy.” Harley squeals. “Do you like him?”

  “Harley, I think I already love that man. I barely now him but through all of the dreams I had about him I fell in love.” I reply honestly.

  “What are you going to do?” She asks next.

  I shrug. “Blue told me to try and move on. He wanted me to be certain that when he came back that he was the one that I truly wanted.”

  “So, you’re still going to mess around with Emmett?” Harley inquires.

  I nod my head. “Why not, plus I have other reasons to get close to him.”

  I continue on within her head so that no one would hear us. “My father wants me to get information on his pack. I need to find out anything and everything he knows about the Draco Pack.”

  “That’s heavy.” Harley sighs out loud.

  I nod my head again and begin eating my food again.

  “Can I talk to Magnus for a minute?” I ask abruptly.

  “Yeah, sure just give me a moment.” Harley replies.

  It takes only a second for her eyes to change signaling that I was now seeing Magnus.

  “Good to see you, Magnus.” I smile.

  “It’s good to see you too. Why have you requested me?” He questions.

  He was always one to cut straight to the chase.

  “I need your help. Harley isn’t going to like it but I need you to be present at all times. I need and extra set of ears.” I begin to explain.

  “I’ll do whatever you need.” He replies.

  “Good, I need you to help me spy on Emmett the Draco Pack wolf.” I state into his mind so that we couldn’t be overheard.

  “I was already going to do that, Parker. From the moment I saw him I had an uneasy feeling.” Magnus admits into my head.

  I nod. “Just be careful, I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to Harley.” I add out loud.

  He nods her head. “I’ll keep her safe.”

  “Thank you, Magnus.” I reply gratefully.

  With that Harley’s eyes change once more before she gives m
e an odd look. “What was that about?”

  Looking anywhere but at her I reply. “It was nothing. I just wanted to see how he was doing.”

  “Uh huh, whatever you say, Parker.” Harley replies.

  She knew that I was keeping something from her again and I couldn’t blame her for feeling a bit unsure about things.

  “Ah, there’s my girl.” Emmett suddenly calls out as he joins us in the kitchen.

  He moves in behind me and kisses my cheek before snatching a piece of bacon from my plate.

  “There’s more over there if you’re hungry, Emmett.” Harley states as she motions over towards the counter where there were plates heaping with scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage.

  “Get as much as you want before Dillon, Damon, and Ford come.” I add.

  “Ford probably won’t be eating any of this considering he’s already out hunting. The Laken Pack hardly ever eats cooked food. They like it fresh.” Emmett explains.

  Harley scrunches her nose in disgust. “That’s just gross and I could never kill a poor little bunny.”

  I chuckle and shake my head as we watch Emmett begin dishing out food onto a plate of his own shirtless.

  “He’s hot.” Harley whispers.

  I nod in agreement while Emmett glances back wearing a smug grin.

  Harley had a bad habit of forgetting that we could hear much better than a human could.

  Catching on she slaps her hand against her forehead. “I will never get that hang of this.”

  Emmett chuckles in amusement as he turns around to face us. “It’s alright I don’t mind a pretty girl like you telling me how hot I am.”

  I snort and shake my head as Harley blushes.

  Just the Damon and Dillon walk in.

  Damon gives Harley a long kiss upon her lips before grinning. “I love the taste of bacon on your lips.” He teases.

  “Damn, I should have thought of that.” Emmett jokes as he sits down next to me.

  His hand gently lands on my thigh. “How did you sleep?” He whispers.

  “I slept well.” I reply easily.

  It was the truth. I had slept with thoughts of Blue on my mind.

  Of course I would never tell him that.

  My phone chirps and I pull it out of my pocket to see that Blue was calling me. I hadn’t even realized that I had had his number.

  He must have put it in when I wasn’t looking, that, or Rowan had.
