Chase’s Point of View
In response to Isabelle's heart-wrenching howl, I sprinted through the dense woods, driven by a mix of worry and anger over whatever Tyler had done to her. Something had clearly gone terribly wrong, and as a seasoned member of the Silverstone pack, I could discern the distinctive cries of my packmates, including the ones that tore at my own heart."I'm on my way, baby," I murmured under my breath, my determination propelling me forward. The clearing where Isabelle and Tyler had initially met was now empty, but I sensed her presence nearby. Her wolf's whimpering echoed through the trees, tugging at my instincts.
Regretfully, I hadn't thought to bring my night vision goggles, but I relied on my enhanced wolf senses to guide me. Though my human vision was sharp, it paled in comparison to the keen sight of a wolf. However, I did have my trusty gun, which I quickly drew from the concealed holster at the small of my back. I knew I had to be prepared for anything, ready to do whatever it took to protect Isabelle from that damn kid.
I sprinted towards the source of the distressing sound, and my heart nearly stopped as I stumbled upon Isabelle, lying vulnerable and naked in a huddled position on the ground. Confusion and concern flooded my mind as I quickly scanned the surroundings, ensuring we were alone, before gently brushing her long hair away from her eyes."Isabelle," I said urgently, my voice filled with worry. "What happened? Did he hurt you? Where are you injured?" My hands searched her trembling body, desperately seeking any sign of harm. The rage inside me grew stronger with every passing second, vowing to seek vengeance against whoever had caused her pain.
"Ins-inside," she stammered, her words barely audible amidst her shudders. I frantically tried to make sense of her response. Inside where? Had the perpetrator hurt her and fled? I couldn't comprehend her message, and the absence of any visible injuries only deepened my confusion. Yet her piercing cries continued, resonating through my eardrums with an intensity that pierced my soul.
"Not like that," she sobbed, her arms wrapped tightly around her stomach, her face contorted in anguish. "I need your help.""Tell me, and I'll do it. Whatever you need, I'm right here for you," I assured her, determined to fulfill any request she had. The sound of her distress was unbearable, and if it meant putting an end to it, I was ready to confront Tyler myself.
Suddenly, her eyes widened with a mixture of fear and anticipation, and her body tensed as a piercing scream pierced the air around us. Damn it. If we didn't act quickly, campus security and who knows who else would be on our heels.
Without hesitation, I gathered her into my arms, cradling her fragile form, and swiftly turned deeper into the woods. Returning to the dorms was out of the question. Too many prying eyes and too many questions we couldn't answer.
"Hold on, baby. I'll find us a safe place, and then I'll figure out a way to make everything right. I made a promise I wasn't supposed to keep, but I'll make things better."
It took me a moment to fully grasp the situation. The arrival of the new moon had triggered her mating heat, subjecting her to an excruciating torment. And there was only one solution to alleviate her suffering.
"We have to act now," she moaned, her words muffled against my arm.
"Not until I know you're safe," I insisted, determined to protect her.
"I can't wait," she gasped, the urgency in her voice growing. "We have to do something now."
"Isabelle," I spoke with the authority of an alpha, pouring my own strength into my words. Though it wouldn't affect her like it would an alpha wolf, I had used this technique during our training to captivate her attention. "Focus on my voice and recall your training."
"I didn't prepare for this," she snapped, her frustration evident.
A faint smile tugged at the edges of my lips, even though the situation held no humor. I couldn't help but appreciate her feisty spirit. Our bond had been a battle from the start, and she still couldn't conform.
"We weren't prepared for this," I acknowledged. "But you're an alpha. You don't shy away from challenges."
"I despise you," she retorted, her words laced with frustration.
"No, you don't," I countered, my voice firm yet gentle. We both knew the truth—we loved each other deeply. But as guardians, we were bound by strict rules that prohibited intimate relationships with the wolves we were sworn to protect.
"If you don't help me, I will," she exclaimed, her anger evident in her voice but overshadowed by the pain etched in her eyes.
"Just hold on a little longer. We're almost there," I assured her. I didn't know why, but some instinct urged me to find an alternate route, and now it seemed like my paranoia was about to pay off.
We emerged from the woods, far from any campus buildings, and I scanned the surroundings for any signs of trouble. Thankfully, it was Friday night and the administration buildings in this remote area were practically deserted. I had taken precautions and ensured camera control out here months ago.
"Chase, please! I can't endure another moment," she pleaded, her voice desperate.
I briefly considered her request but dismissed it. The heat radiating from her skin seeped through my shirt, and her overwhelming need called to me in a way I couldn't resist.
"We're almost there," I gritted my teeth, fighting against my own body's response to her potent pheromones. "You can manage another two hundred feet."
Although I wasn't certain if I could. I might not be a wolf, but her pheromones were wreaking havoc on my body as well.
The overwhelming urge to take her forcefully, pin her down, and claim her consumed me, vividly playing out in my mind like a vivid movie.
With immense effort, I fumbled in my pocket and gripped the keys to the waiting SUV, pressing the button to unlock the doors. The vehicle stood ready, providing a sanctuary from prying eyes and a space where we could find release.
Just as I was about to guide her towards the car, she twisted in my arms and pressed her bare, wet center against my hand. The sensation sent a jolt through me, making my head spin. Countless nights I had fantasized about her bared and vulnerable, yearning for her touch. And how many times had I resorted to frigid showers, trying to cool the fire that burned within me while I watched over her with Tyler.
Chas's Point of ViewBut now, the barriers were breaking down, and there was no turning back. The intensity of our connection could no longer be denied. It was time to fulfill our desires and unleash the pent-up passion that had smoldered between us for far too long."Oh, Isabelle," I groaned, my ability to think clearly slipping away as quickly as hers. The desperation in her voice tugged at my heart."Please, Chase. I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm going to explode."Summoning every ounce of focus, I managed to open the car door, but it took all my strength to guide us inside while she continued grinding against my hand.As soon as I locked the door, she flipped me over, straddling my legs. Her words sent a surge of desire through me. "I want you so badly.""But we...," I tried to interject, but she cut me off."Don't say we can't. How many times have you pleasured yourself, calling out my name?""You heard that?" I was taken aback, unsure of how much she had actually notice
Isabelle’s Point of ViewThe distant thumping echoed through my veins, synchronized with the rapid rhythm of my heart, intensifying the pulsating desire within me. The anticipation for tonight's ceremony had been building up all day, and I absorbed every ounce of energy in the air. Standing unclothed by the window, gazing up at the moonless night sky, I couldn't believe I was about to embark on this journey.My attempt at a normal college life a few years ago had ended disastrously, leading me back home under the protective shield of my father. It had been a defining moment for me, shifting my perspective. What had once felt suffocating and confining now became my liberation from the inner turmoil that had haunted me since my mother's passing. The primal wolf within me demanded acknowledgment, and the pack rituals provided the necessary balance for our human side to coexist harmoniously."You look absolutely breathtaking," a deep, resonant voice broke through my reverie. Startled, I t
Isabelle’s Point of ViewThe room grew increasingly tense, causing my skin to prickle with unease. My inner wolf whimpered, sensing the mounting aggression and my own need to assert dominance over Malik. As if that would be an easy feat. He could hold his ground and match my strength, always keeping me on my toes.A soft, apprehensive knock echoed at the door.My heart sank."It's time, Isabelle. Everyone is waiting outside, including your father," a voice called out, breaking the heavy silence that enveloped the room. My father, the one who had orchestrated this arrangement, insisted that before I took over as pack leader, Malik and I must undergo a traditional mating ceremony. However, deep down, I sensed his doubts about my capability and dedication to Malik. It seemed he was using this night to test me and push me towards a decision.Tonight, under the black moon, the time had come for me to face my father's expectations. I had known since my return to the pack that this moment wo
Isabelle’S Point of View"Tonight is a momentous occasion, my pack," he declared, his voice commanding attention and respect. The moonlight cast a mesmerizing glow on his figure, emphasizing his authority. "As the black moon graces our presence, we gather to celebrate not only the cycle of life and creation but also a sacred union between two souls."The pack erupted in cheers and howls, their excitement palpable in the air. The beat of drums reverberated through the clearing, stirring a primal energy within me. I closed my eyes, surrendering to the rhythm, allowing it to carry me into a state of heightened anticipation.The forest seemed to come alive with unseen forces, as if nature itself acknowledged the significance of this night. Leaves rustled in the wind, whispering secrets, and the scent of pine mingled with the earthy aroma of the forest floor. It was a symphony of sensations, a symphony that mirrored the surge of emotions coursing through my veins.In this moment, I let go
Isabelle’s Point of View"Claim me," I demanded, my voice laced with a raw hunger that matched the intensity in his eyes.Without hesitation, Malik prowled towards me, his features subtly shifting. I tilted my head in a submissive gesture, a rare display of vulnerability, as he seized my throat with his teeth. A sharp pang of pain mingled with pleasure, igniting an electric current within me. The metallic scent of my own blood, mingling with the heady scent of desire, filled the air, fueling our mutual craving to its climax.My body quivered with a potent mixture of desire and anticipation as Malik released my throat, his teeth trailing along my skin until they reached my shoulder, where he bit down once more. The sensation sent a surge of electric pleasure straight to my core, igniting a burning hunger that begged for more.But it wasn't enough. I craved his touch, my skin tingling with a desperate need for more. My hips strained against his, desperately seeking the friction that wou
Chase’s Point of ViewGood Lord. I knew this day could come, but I never pictured myself hauling Isabelle through the woods with her bare behind in my face and desire dripping down her legs. This was a scenario nobody had even thought about. Responsibility was one thing, but witnessing my woman engage in primal, animalistic sex during an archaic moon ceremony that bound her to another of her kind had been pure torment. Distant screams filled the air, urging me to quicken my pace. Isabelle was now the pack's alpha, and her safety was paramount. We had roughly twenty-one hours and fifteen minutes before she regained her full strength. I prayed that the patrols had a damn good reason for allowing something, or someone, to breach the town's defenses.The ground beneath me sloped downwards. "Shit." I gripped Isabelle's thighs tightly to maintain my balance."Put me down. I can keep up on my own two feet now." Isabelle clawed at my shirt once more. If I didn't let her go, my back would be
Our tongues clashed in a fierce battle for dominance. Isabelle never backed down from a challenge, matching my intensity every step of the way. Her fingers entwined in my hair, pulling me closer, sending a jolt of desire through me. As the key slipped from my grasp, I scooped her up and carried her towards the bed.The intoxicating influence of the black moon lingered, and even though I knew she couldn't resist, I couldn't hold back. I needed her now, in this moment.She released her hold on me, swiftly unbuttoning my jeans, setting me free. A deep groan escaped my lips as her slender hands encircled my throbbing arousal.Damn, she felt incredible.Her thighs remained locked around me, her urgency evident as she guided me to her dripping core. She teased me, rubbing the swollen head of my cock against her slick entrance, and I nearly lost my mind. With a groan, I broke free from her lips."You little tease.""Not just your little tease, but alpha tease to you now," she taunted, her la
Chase’s Point of View"I don't have all the details yet. The radio crackled with a message about a breach in the perimeter. Someone forcefully made their way past the guards stationed at the outskirts of town.""Wolves?" Isabelle inquired.I shook my head. "Not from what I've heard. It would be highly unusual.""Agreed." Isabelle swiftly got dressed, and within moments, there was a forceful pounding on the door."Well, at least your hearing is still sharp," I remarked as I turned and made my way toward the door. Suddenly, a clock whizzed past my head, narrowly missing me. "Good thing your aim is a bit off.""My aim is just fine," she retorted.A quiet chuckle escaped my lips. I couldn't help but love the fire in her. Another round of pounding interrupted our banter."I can hear you already!""Then hurry up and open the damn door. What the hell are you doing inside—"I unlocked the door and flung it open. Surprisingly, Malik stood before us fully dressed, a gun holstered at his side. I
