  Prologue

  A Month Ago

  Rain pelted against his face as he lay unmoving on the solid ground. Pain was in his very essence. That’s how much he hurt. His eyes could barely open, but he could smell the damp earth, and every leaf growing on every tree. Where was he? Straining with all his might, he forced his eyes open. The world tilted around him, causing him to gag. Rolling over onto his side he vomited whatever little contents were inside his stomach. The way his body limply moved told him that something was wrong. After spewing his guts out; he looked down at himself. A strangled cry erupted from his lips. His clothing torn, his skin mangled and destroyed.

  “That bitch,” his voice came out barely a whisper as the memory of his own demise haunted him. But what did that mean now? Before everything went dark, he’d felt immense pain, and a piece of his soul wither away. But now here he was, awake. What the hell happened? Blinking repeatedly, he took several deep breaths. He pushed himself off the ground; clenching his teeth, so he didn’t scream out. He stood on shaky feet, tripping all the way over to a tree, so he had something to hold onto. In front of him; Kellan’s cabin loomed. But something inside him told him the cabin was empty. He didn’t smell anything but the rain and the earth. His vision started off foggy, but slowly he was able to see. And his sight wasn’t like it used to be.

  “Ouch!” He looked down at his mangled stomach and saw his skin knitting back together in front of his eyes. Although they were healing, large, jagged scars were being left behind. He felt the pain of the healing all the way up to his face. When it was done; he could stand without holding onto the tree. Balancing himself on his two feet; he waited a while before he began walking slowly. When he saw he wasn’t tripping and falling over; the pace of his steps quickened. He didn’t know what had happened to him; or where anyone else was; but he wasn’t sticking around to find out. The only thing clear was that he had been granted another life.

  Scurrying away, he headed in the direction of his own solace. He knew right away he wasn’t going to find Maverick to get help. Maverick had left him down and out in the first place. It made no sense to try and go back to him. But on his quest to seeking the power of a shifter, he’d set up his own place in the woods that kept him close to the beasts he so longed to become.

  The trip to his place tired him out tremendously. His breath sawed in and out of his lungs as he tripped and fell onto his property. Gasping for air, he pulled himself up to a crawl and continued toward his hut. When he fell inside and shut the door, his heart rate began to slow. It felt as if he was running from someone even though he wasn’t being chased. His clothing was tattered, so he just pulled them off his body. When he was able to, he stood and stumbled towards the small bedroom. The bed was just like he’d left it; as if he hadn’t helped launch an attack on a pack of wolves. All sense of time and space had fallen away from him. What day was it? How many days had passed since the attack? Unable to think anymore, he stumbled towards the bathroom. Flipping on the light; it blinded him. He realized then that it was dark all along, but he was able to see perfectly. A smile came to his face realizing that he had gotten the power. After healing and knowing he could see in darkness, he had finally become a shifter. How it happened, he hadn’t a clue, and he didn’t care. Entering the bathroom, his smile dropped. Staring at himself in the mirror he jumped back in horror at his reflection. He’d gotten the power of a shifter, but he was no shifter. No. He had become something else. And he had to thank his daughter for turning him into this monster.

  “Daddy’s coming for you Bliss,” he gritted out.

  Chapter One

  Tristan leaned against the wall in the dark room next to the window letting in the moonlight. He exhaled deeply the scent of heavy arousal clinging to the thick air in the bedroom.

  “You’ve been standing over there since you got here,” her voice sounded from the bed. Tristan looked over at her. She was resting back on her elbows with her legs open wide displaying her sex.

  “We haven’t fucked in a long time,” she breathed.

  “I told you, I had pack shit to deal with,” he responded.

  “Alright, well you’re here with me now. Not with your pack. So come over here and fuck me.” Tristan sighed.

  “I’m not in the mood tonight Chloe,” he said honestly. “I’m pretty sure that’s evident enough to you.” She sat up abruptly, then reached over to her nightstand and flipped on the lamp.

  “What the hell is up with you Tristan?” She asked urgently. All her playful nature went out the window.

  “I get that your pack has been in trouble, but you said everything was fine now.”

  “You know, not every time I show up here is because I want a fuck. Maybe I’m just here for your company.”

  “Company? If that was the case why haven’t you at least come on the bed with me or anything?” Truthfully, Tristan just didn’t want her scent on him.

  “We’re supposed to be dating Tristan, and I feel like you’re treating me like the other woman.”

  “The other woman?” Tristan crossed his arms and shook his head. That’s exactly what she’d become, and he didn’t even have the balls to admit that to her. They’d been dating for two years. And he found it hard just to break it off with her, but ever since he found out Gemma was his mate; all attraction slipped away. He still cared for her immensely, but having sex with her was not going to be easy. He would feel as if he was betraying Gemma, as crazy as that sounded.

  “So have you been with someone else?” she asked with a shaky voice.

  “No,” he said honestly. “I haven’t been with anyone else.”

  “Just come lay with me then. Even if I am horny, I won’t force you to do it seeing as your mood isn’t there, to begin with.” Tristan didn’t understand why he couldn’t get the words he needed to get out of his mouth. Instead, he walked towards the bed and slowly lowered himself onto it. Chloe immediately cuddled up with him. Tr
istan’s wolf was scolding him, and Tristan couldn’t blame the animal. He shouldn’t be laid up with another wolf. Not while he had a mate. But he was fighting his battles. On one hand, Gemma was the cutest wolf he had ever seen. When she turned 16, and Kameron was still alpha, Tristan noticed her immediately. But he just thought she was cute and nothing more. He respected the strength she exhibited through all the challenges that had come to her, especially with the trouble that their pack had been in. And then, on the other hand, she was still just 18. And for Tristan, being ten years her senior was too wide a gap. That’s where his confliction lay. But lying with another woman who was perfect beyond reason; Tristan couldn’t stop thinking about the 18-year-old girl he swore he couldn’t have.

  He laid with Chloe for hours before she sunk into a deep sleep. Tristan took her arms from around him and slipped out of her bed silently.

  “Please come back to me,” she whispered. Tristan smiled at her.

  “I will,” he said. She smiled at his words and sunk back into her slumber. Tristan tugged on his boots and hurried from her cabin. As he left the grounds of her territory, her alpha stopped him.

  “Tristan,” he said. The alpha was a man just in his 50’s, still strong.

  “Owen,” Tristan replied giving him a curt nod to show his respect to the alpha.

  “Are you and Chloe to be mated? Because as you know if you are; then you have to choose a pack. You two can’t be mated and in two different packs.”

  “I’m well aware,” Tristan said. “But me and Chloe won’t mate. Not for now.”

  “My pack is in need of an enforcer. If you’ve been dating Chloe, then I advise you mate her and come to my pack.”

  “I am faithful to my pack Owen.” That was all Tristan needed to say. Owen would get the point that Tristan wasn’t going to be bribed into another pack.

  “I hope you find an enforcer soon,” Tristan nodded. “See you when I get back again.” With that said, he left Owen standing there before Tristan continued on. Chloe’s pack grounds were just about 30 minutes away from their new home behind the waterfall. Tristan stayed in his human form and hiked through the woods moving with the agility of his shifter powers.

  When he finally spotted the waterfall, he stopped moving. He took several deep breaths to calm his heart. Once the thud decreased, he was able to listen clearly to his surroundings. He breathed in deep and smelled nothing out of place. Deeming it was safe to go on, he scaled down the cliff. Instead of going behind the waterfall; he stepped right into it. He stayed under the flow of the cold water washing Chloe’s scent from his body. When his jeans and boots were soaked through, he stepped out of the water and continued behind the waterfall.

  “Damn, I thought only women could get wet enough to soak through their pants,” Kyra teased him once he was walking through the tunnels. Tristan mushed her in the face.

  “Get outta my face,” he smiled at her.

  “But seriously what happened to your pants?”

  “Slipped up at the waterfall,” he said.

  “Where you been at as a matter of fact?”

  “What’s with the third degree?” he asked. “Can’t a man go for a stroll?”

  “That was a mighty long stroll,” she scoffed.

  “Is Jaxson busy? ‘cause that’s the only reason you’d be bored enough to be bothering me right now.” Kyra gasped and punched him.

  “Don’t be a dick.” she laughed. She began walking away from him. “Gemma’s in the living area watching tv with Niles by the way,” she informed him. Tristan said nothing. He just watched as she disappeared. When she was gone, he continued through the tunnels to his room. He changed his clothes quickly. Even if he wanted to stay away from her; he knew that he couldn’t. So because of his curiosity, he changed and headed straight back into the main living area to see if Gemma was indeed with that wolf.

  Sitting in the large sectional, his mate and the young male wolf were watching tv and eating popcorn. He was whispering something in her ear, and Tristan involuntarily growled. Both Gemma and Niles snapped their heads in his direction and looked at him. Niles jumped up from the couch so quick you would have thought a firecracker got lit under his ass. Even though Tristan wanted to twist his neck, he forced himself to stay where he was. He’d just come out of another woman’s bed. A woman he’d been dating and told no one about. He couldn’t be angry if Gemma was hanging out with a man her age.

  “We were just watching TV. It’s innocent you know,” Niles babbled. From the last warning Tristan gave him; and no matter how much Niles wanted Gemma, he knew he wasn’t going to win in a fight against Tristan. His wolf was just way too strong for Niles. He was hoping to win Gemma over the traditional way. And not by showing her how strong his wolf was because that wasn’t going to work.

  Gemma stood ready to stop Tristan from beating Niles’ ass, but Tristan stood where he was with his arms crossed. He looked directly at her, and Gemma felt like her heart stopped beating in her chest for a moment. He was so handsome she always got stunned when she looked at him. Even in jeans and a t-shirt he was sexy enough as if he was naked in front of her. Her eyes found his lips, and she felt herself salivating. Salivating at the memory of when his lips touched hers. On when she’d tasted his tongue. He was so skilled with his mouth, and she was nothing but an amateur. Gemma felt a spark of arousal and quickly looked away from Tristan.

  Tristan smelled arousal, and he didn’t know if it was his or hers. All he knew was that he couldn’t stop staring at her lips remembering how they tasted. Why couldn’t he just walk up to her right now and tongue her down again? Shaking his head, Tristan walked away. He knew he had to mate her or else the both of them were going to be in pain. But if he marked her, they could salvage a lot of time. Time enough for his mate to come more of age. Maybe then his conscience wouldn’t be in the way of being with her.

  Chapter Two

  Bliss was on fire. So far she loved being a shifter. But the only time she wished she was human again was during the heating cycle. Human women only had to give birth or get their periods. As a shifter, going into the heating cycle was pure hell. And that’s what she was unleashing onto Kellan. She slapped him hard across the face.

  “Make it stop!” she screamed at him.

  “If you stop acting like a rabid dog then I will,” he grunted at her, dodging another one of her slaps. He took both her wrists into one of his hands and dragged her over to the bed. Bliss was fighting his hold, the pain of the heating searing through her body making her unable to keep still.

  “Don’t make me tie you up,” Kellan warned her as he threw her onto the bed. The effects of her heating was evident in his pants. His dick was straining; seeking out the source of the intense waves of arousal.

  “What are you waiting for?!” Bliss snapped at him, her canines filling up her mouth. Her eyes began to glow as she writhed on the bed. Kellan flipped his claws out on his free hand and shredded the clothes she was wearing. He opened her legs which was hard since she couldn’t stop writhing.

  “KELLAN!” She screamed. “What are you waiting for?!” she asked again. Tears began streaming from the corners of her eyes.

  “Just a little while longer,” Kellan said. He brushed the tears from her face. Through the mating bond, he could feel the pain she was in, but Kellan had to have her wait it out. Before he was just satisfying her through the heating, but now was different. He was ready to have a pup with the woman he loved. He moved in between her legs with his arousal aligning with her opening. He rubbed his heavy tip against her clit; pre-cum already leaking from his tip. Massaging his tip on her clit helped eased some of her pain. Kellan took a deep breath; inhaling the essence of his mate. The moment there was a shift in her scent, Kellan buried himself deep inside her. Bliss let out a wail of both pleasure and pain. The scent of her fertility was ripening the longer he waited. She dug her claws into his back as he began pumping inside her. Her insides were already creaming on his shaft as a product of her pleasure. H
e stroked her going deeper and deeper on each inward thrust. The higher her fertility increased, the more open she became. Her insides felt like they had little suction cups deep inside her that was pulling and tugging him deeper within her. Her moans were little cries that increased in sound as he grinded inside her.

  “Fuck!” Kellan grunted as his balls clenched. He gritted his teeth as he had to force his orgasm to stay within him for a little while longer.

  “DON’T STOP!” Bliss screamed at him; her voice a mixture of her wolf and her human sound. But Kellan had to stop. He had to bust his nut at the right time. He pulled out of her, and she began screaming and writhing again at the pain. Kellan lifted her by the hips and turned her over, quickly putting her on all fours. He pushed her face down in the pillows to have her ass high in the air. Then he was slowly pushing his way inside her. Bliss’s screams of pain turned into howls of pleasure as he stroked her. His thrusts became sporadic as his control walked a thin line. He was thrusting so hard; Bliss fell flat onto the bed. Kellan still hovered over her, continuing to pump into her, her plump ass bouncing against his hips. Lifting his nose to the ceiling again; he pulled in a deep breath.

  Her scent shifted once more as her fertility reached its peak. His canines came plunging out of his gums. He reared down and clamped his mouth around Bliss’s shoulder. She screamed and exploded around his shaft, her orgasm so forceful he felt like his dick was about to burst to pieces. Instead, he released the hold on her shoulder and roared out. He flipped her around and pressed her legs to her chest and slammed into her body over and over until he imploded and filled her to the brink with his seed. Her body gripped him tightly, milking him over and over, making the spill of his release never ending. Her walls trapped him inside of her as her body naturally milked him to take what it needed to fertilize her releasing eggs. Both of their eyes glowed the power of their wolves as they were bound together in their mating. Kellan wouldn’t be able to withdraw from her until her body had taken what it needed.
