Tina looked at me with concern etched on her face. “Of course, Raven. You know you can always trust me. What’s going on?” “How well do you know Dustin and Freddy?” “Well Freddy and I grew up with Dustin.” “Wait you mean Dustin and Freddy aren’t brothers?” “Well not biologically. I thought you knew.” “What no.” How did I not know that. I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before I spoke. “I found out Dustin is a demon, and his father, Alister, is trying to take over the world by killing off the human race.” Tina’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Are you serious?” I nodded, my heart racing with fear. “Yes, I am. I saw Dustin’s eyes start glowing red. He’s been hiding this from us for years.” Tina’s expression turned serious as she processed the information. “We need to tell Marcus. He can help us.” I shook my head, feeling hesitant. “I don’t know if we can trust Marcus.” Tina’s brow furrowed in thought. “Isn’t Marcus mated to you?” “Where did you hear that?” I a
Storming out of the room and I stomped my way down the hall to my own quarters slamming the door to my room shut behind me. I am still trembling with rage. I lock my door before throwing myself down onto my bed. Tears well up making my eyes feel puffy and tender as the day’s events play over in my mind. The tension in the air is almost palpable, and it is making my skin crawl. After a few minutes, I began to feel calmer. Eventually I find myself breathing normally again. As the adrenaline fades from my body, my mind wanders onto other topics. More specifically towards the thoughts of Marcus and Dustin. My skin tingles but I push the feeling away and let myself drift off to sleep. I am naked and alone. I have never been one that has ever felt comfortable enough to sleep in the nude. Sitting up in bed examining my surroundings, I realize this isn’t my room. The room is dark, but the glow from the moon outside emits enough of a glow to illuminate the large king size bed and various pie
MARCUS’ POV I closed my phone and took a deep breath. About an hour ago I started feeling Raven’s arousal. She probably didn’t know what she was doing but I felt her pulling at my wolf. The other Alpha’s had been in the middle of reporting to me their encounters with the plague killing off their ranks and the local human communities when it hit me. I thought I wasn’t going to make it. When the arousal was replaced with terror, I ended the meeting and called her. I figured she would refuse to invite me over, so I didn’t bother asking. Hearing her voice over the phone did little to calm the beast inside. I didn’t know much about how the mate bond would affect a human but our bond was new and still fragile, and emotions could easily be overwhelming. My wolf wasn’t going to rest until we made sure there was no threat to her. I needed to get to her and see for myself what was causing her distress. My mind, however, kept wandering to Dustin. I knew he still had feelings for Raven, but
Stepping out of the vehicles we burst through the entrance. Ghouls were standing around in their sleep state until we began firing. The gun fire brought the hell hounds running in out of nowhere. I could hear my men calling out, but I was focused now. Dustin was at my eight in tactical formation we made our way forward taking ghouls down one after the other. It was as if there was no end to them. My gun clicked catching me off guard. "I'm out." I threw the empty gun down pulling out my blades. Ghouls came at me mouths open arms outstretched as they ran at me moaning in hunger. I kicked the closest one away from me stabbing the one behind it in the head. Twirling around to stab another. I could hear Diez and Jack yell out clear as they came towards me and Dustin making our way towards the stairs. I watched the last ghoul drop and sprinted towards my group. I lead the way down. It was dark and I could hear water dripping somewhere nearby. Using signals, I held them up as we came to th
In the blink of an eye, my demon had me held tightly against his chest. I felt his chest muscles ripple against my back. He tightened his arms around me, growling fiercely. The rumble of it was doing things to my body I had not felt in a while. It took everything I had not to throw my head back against his shoulder and close my eyes in pleasure."Damn it let her go!" Dustin's angry tone brought me back to his situation. I could hear the tension and pain and knew I needed to take care of him. Pushing against the hold on me had me feeling like a child."Both of you stop it." I finally freed myself, but I knew it was purely because he allowed me to. I finished taking my belt off. Not waiting to ask for permission, I shoved it into his mouth and wrapped my fingers around the exposed claw, pulling it from him.He threw his head back, biting down on my belt, a loud growl coming from him. It sounded eminently animalistic. His eyes were closed, and his knees seemed to shake a little. Not want
Dustin's POVI punched the steering wheel fuming at myself for leaving her. Angry at her for putting me in that situation. The whole time she was touching me I was in heaven.Her delicate hands were so tender. The worry on her face would have made my heart melt if I had one. Over the time we have been together I have loved her.Me a demon who was never meant to love. I am made for destruction and chaos.I mean what more could I do to get that fucking woman to love me. I have stood by her all these years and did everything she has ever asked of me.When things got tough, I was there. No matter how hard I try to make her feel for me the way I feel for her she always pushes me away. I know she feels the heat between us. The roaring passion that we share.Hell, I never wanted to break up with her that was her excuse because we were getting too serious, and she needed and out.Like a complete fool I let her have her space. In my mind I knew eventually she would see we were meant to be toge
After Dustin left me to fend for myself, I was taken hostage by Marcus. I say that because, usually, when someone refuses to go with you, you decide to ignore them, throw them over your shoulder and run away with them at blinding speed. That is usually categorized as kidnapping.It did not take long for us to get to Marcus' home. It was a large, extravagant mansion. One of the only structures standing around here that seemed like it had been left completely untouched by the last several years of war.Marcus yanked on my arm to follow him after finally letting me walk on my own. I rolled my eyes, getting tired of being treated like a doll. In the past, I never would have put up with this type of treatment. Yet, looking at the man leading me into his home, I just could not find it in me to fight him off. He was going to be my undoing if I did not catch a grip."Alpha, you are back." To the left a tall, attractive blue-eyed man in a pair of jeans and a black shirt approached, bowing his
Marcus' POVMy mate was sound asleep curled up in my arms. I could get use to this every night. She was so perfect, so beautiful, and strong.I have never been so proud to have someone in my life before. I know our relationship is new and I could feel her fighting back against it, but I am determined to win her over.When Dustin had driven away leaving her stranded with me internally, I had been screaming with joy celebrating my victory. My wolf had wanted to claim her right then.I was not sure what her relationship was with him, but neither my wolf nor my vampire side liked it at all. Being hybrid made me stronger, faster, and more powerful; but it also made me more possessive, and animalistic.Just remembering the sex, had his cock jumping back to attention. She had been in her own rights just as animalistic as him.The knock on the bedroom door had my eyes glaring daggers at whoever was on the other side disturbing my peace with my mate. Being an alpha did not grant me a reprieve
