*HUDSON'S POV* (One Month Later) Dwayne came to get me in my hotel room. It was time to return to the pack. The convention was fun, and that was owed to my partying buddy and Beta. I visited other packs of old college buddies from Alpha University and it felt like the good old days before I had Alpha duties. My Beta had his way with as many ladies as he could and I pretended to join him, in separate rooms. Thoughts of Phoebe crossed my mind. I missed her scent and my wolf was driving me crazy for running away from her. It was not an easy choice. I know that she can find happiness with someone else. True love does not hurt the ones we supposedly care about. Freeing her would be my way of expressing my love for her. A spear of pain nips at me every time that I think about her leaving me. Moving on is difficult; it felt like there was no light to guide me out of this horror. The longer I was away from her, the more likely it was that she would gradually fade from my recollection. In t
*HUDSON'S POV* Pacing back and forth in front of my room door, my wolf pleaded with me to see her. The fact that she stayed back and waiting for my return was indication that she was being relentless in seeing me. If it's not today, I am sure that I would have to face her some other day. 'Open the blasted door,' Regis growled at me. "And then what?" I scowled back at him. 'Talk to her, genius.' He said agitated, 'We can't avoid every woman on earth, especially our mate.' I breathe hard and opened the door. This one woman had the power to leave me dumbfounded. My senses heighten every time she comes around and I think a supermodel can't have anything over my fabulous mate. She was wearing a yellow button down sundress patterned with violet moons that stopped just above the knees. Her shapely figure was not too hard to see on the outline of the dress. Her black hair was down with a headband that kept it to the back. A hand reached out to touch my chest as she smiled. She pushed me
*PHOEBE'S POV*Candice picked me up around 7pm. I was wearing a strapless black bodycon dress with my hair done in a ponytail. My make-up was of a slight dark shade and I was pleased with my look.Candice chatted a lot and I responded with yes, but I was barely listening to what she was saying. I was feeling hurt from what Hudson did but I had no one to talk to about it. Saying that I was his mate would be a claim that he would have to acknowledge. From the looks of things, he wasn't going to do that.Hudson has no desire for me and I don't understand why he shuns me. Tonight, I was going to find a boy to dance with and have some fun. I cried enough in the forest as my wolf howled her pain. No more crying for me.We parked across the street from the craftsman house. It was a beauty but a little small compared to how high and mighty Nicole was. I pulled down my dress because he rides a bit when I sit.Some people were on the outside lawn grass, some on the porch while others were insid
*PHOEBE'S POV*His murderous aura filled the room, the music stopped and everyone bowed in submission except me. Brian looked at me in horror. I was dumbfounded.Hudson approached me in one swift movement, we stood face to face with his hot breath hit against my forehead. His nostrils flared, and his face contorted with a death glare. However, his eyes shifted from my mine to Brian's.He grabbed Brian's throat in a crushing grip. Brian's feet flapped off the ground as he struggled to breath. Everyone watched in awe and I felt the need to something.The solution that I tried was to reach out my hand to caress Hudson's chest. People said the mate bond could calm your mate through appealing to the sense of touch, so that the sparkles generated that peacefulness.I prayed silently for him to calm down, his breathing slowed down, and his eyes slowly returned to its normal green shade."It's okay, Hud... Alpha Hudson." My wolf was pleased that he was jealous and willing to fight over us.Th
*PHOEBE'S POV* Riding to the pack house with Hudson thrilled me. I kept side-glancing him. He was so handsome and his kisses were the best. He ignited the fire in my core, it throbbed from the longing to feel him for the first time. Inside, butterflies fluttered in my tummy, giving me that warm lovely effect. Things were looking up, and the optimism floated in my heart. In silence, we got to our destination. He glanced at me before getting out of the car. The pack house was scanty. We went up the stairs, he opened his room door and allowed me to enter first. He removed his shirt to display his sinewy gorgeous abs. The urge fought me to go and caress them, but I shook the idea away. It's time to have that talk if we were ever going to resolve our issues. He went into the closet to change from his jeans into grey sweatpants. My wolf and I wanted to see him without them. The disappointment almost made me cry. He's seen me naked but I have yet to see him. I patted the bed to my right
-PHOEBE'S POV- The moans came out uncontrollably. Finally, he's mine. He was all that I have ever wanted, and he's giving me the most spectacular pleasure. My core ached with the anticipation of having him fuck me.The pounding of my heartbeat was almost deafening, coupled with the heat from his body. He kissed my lips fervently. Both his mouth and the way he pinned me to the bed with his arms had me spellbound. Hudson breathed into my mouth while groaning low into his throat. He placed my hands above my head, my mind enthralled into the carnal satisfaction of his hot sweet mouth. With the tip of his member, he rubbed on my clitoris, stimulating my swollen, sensitive nub. "Yes!" He teased my folds and entrance, but not going inside. It glides over her inner labia and upwards to her clitoris again. The intensity of his darkening eyes sucking me into him, as the sparks and tingles set my body on fire. It sent my mind into a fervid daze, an overwhelming rapture that was sure to drive
-PHOEBE'S POV- This had to be a trial by the moon goddess for Hudson to go through. His pack members respected him, and loved him. His pack was the largest and most flourishing throughout all the northern continent. The accomplishments achieved under him had already surpassed what his dad had done in the past. It's hard to grasp that he had this detrimental limitation. The Alpha heir was critical to the continued strength of the pack. The next Alpha had to come from the Carter's bloodline. "It's okay if you don't want to be with me. I will set you free." He spoke softly, as though I wasn't supposed to hear. "I have to give up my title, which means that you can't be Luna." Did he think that I was after power and status? Honestly, I'm attracted to him because he was my mate. My future was destined to be with him. Suddenly, I remembered that the council had chosen candidates for him to take as his mate. Would he have had the mating ceremony with one of them if his impotency was solv
-PHOEBE'S POV- The sun is shining brightly and providing warmth to the land. Running helps me focus on essential things, such as what transpired last night with Hudson, by clearing my head. The man really does have a serious issue, and as a male it must be difficult for him. Women have openings through which objects may penetrate, but a male must become as hard as a rock before his manhood can enter a woman. I halted, panting, and bowed with my palms resting on my knees. 'We have to assist, mate,' Keke reminds me. "I had a few ideas, but you are not going to like them." 'Like what?' she asked with concern. "I'll let you in when the time is right, but be prepared to make some sacrifices." I straightened and resumed running. Hudson obviously wants me, but there is a failing connection to his member. He has the wood but is lacking the fuel and fire. The mission was to find those and reignite him. Running back to the pack house, I saw Kimona smiling at me in the living room. 'Wha
