The Alpha in Darkness

Getting in the car, I carefully reverse it out, groaning when I see the tire marks. I will have to rake the grass when I get home; I know they won’t miss that with their eagle eyes. It takes me over an hour and a half to arrive at the first gas station and I…

“I like Harper better,” I tell him. He looks confused, and I can feel confusion through the bond. “You’re not mad?” I shake my head; how can I be mad at something he did before he met me? Not only that, if my parents were drug addicts and criminals, chances are, I would have ended…

My answer makes Ryland huff. “I am no poodle,” he states, but holds his hand out for me and I grab it. Thaddeus and Orion follow behind us. We walk out back, and I sit on the step. Ryland starts removing his clothes and dumps them on my lap. “Does it hurt?” I ask as…

“To the store for Evelyn,” he says. “What’s wrong?” Thaddeus instantly questions him. I can feel the concern, hear it in his voice, but come on. Kill me now; how fucking awkward. “She’s on her period,” Orion says, and Thaddeus makes a face. “Don’t make faces; I am already embarrassed enough. Besides, you have a…

We chat for a little while and hang up. Now, I just have to try to convince one of them to take me to either meet her or wait for a chance to sneak out and find a way to get there alone. Hopefully, they will agree, or I might have to take Thaddeus’ mustang…

“It just burns,” I whimper. Orion is huge; they all are. I knew that, but I wasn’t expecting it to hurt like this. I’m not a virgin, but this is an entirely different pain; I am willing, yet it still hurts. Orion moves, and I hiss at the pain. Orion kisses me, trying to distract…

When I look up at Orion, he answers. “Thaddeus didn’t just burn his father; he made his mother infertile when he hit her with lightning. That’s why he and his fathers haven’t spoken,” Orion says, brushing my hair from my face. I nod in understanding and look at Thaddeus, which is a bad idea as…

We know Evelyn doesn’t care, but still, it might shock her if we woke her. Ryland moves her over as Orion sits on the bed, tugs my jeans down and wraps his lips around my knob, making me grip his hair, wanting nothing more than to ram it in his mouth. I feel his tongue…

“You know you could just ask?” Thaddeus says. “No? Let me sleep,” I tell him, confused. My brain feels like mush. Thaddeus chuckles, yanking my pillow off. “I have something stronger than Tylenol,” he says, making me look up at him. Thaddeus bites into his wrist, offering it to me, and I don’t hesitate. Grabbing…

“And I will tell her she can visit.” “You’re not leaving?” Amara says, sitting up on her elbows and staring at him. “No, not while-” he pauses again, looking at me. I can feel something through the bond but can’t understand the feeling; the only thing I know is he doesn’t want me to know…
