Dread and denial punched me in the gut as I tried to ignore what he had said. My throat constricted, fighting against the part of me that knew he was right. It might have been a dull ember in comparison to the explosion I felt with Alpha Nolan, but the attraction was there.
“You’re lying.” I shook my head, taking a step away from Tristan and the intoxicating heat his body radiated.
“I’m not lying.” Tristan chuckled lowly, and I swore his bright eyes were growing darker as he took another step towards me. “You know I’m telling the truth, just as I know that you feel something for me.”
“It’s nothing compared to what I feel for Alpha Nolan.” I shook my head, my eyes clenched shut as I fought against his stinging words.
“It isn’t, yet.” Tristan murmured, his smooth voice and confident. “You have spent a lot of time with the
Alpha. Those feelings are understandable given yourrelationship with him.”
He said Alpha as though it were a curse, an insult to what he was. The distaste that filled his eyes vanished, leaving his usual lu*ty and calculated gaze.
Tristan closed the distance between the two of us, his arm wrapping around my waist as his lips slammed down on my own. Revulsion and confusion were my first reactions, but Tristan’s grip was tight around my waist. His touch startled me, as I thought I couldn’t touch anything without my body. His hard body meshed against my own, muscles pressing against soft skin.
I flattened my hands against his chest, shoving roughly as I clamped my lips together. Without Maya by my side, my strength was severely impacted. Tristan held me tightly, as though he couldn’t feel the force beneath my touch. His hands were soft as they drifted up the front of my shirt, grazing the bottom of my bre*st teasingly. An angry growl left my lips as I tried shoving against his chest for the second time. I resisted the sensations he was causing within me, resisted the tingling that formed between my legs.
Tristan’s large hand grabbed my bre*st roughly, his thumb pressing against my nip. I yanked my head away from his own, my face heated and my lips parted in outrage. Tristan took the opportunity without hesitation, forcing his tongue into my mouth. While his tongue danced against my own, his fingers toyed with the sensitive flesh of my nip.
Despite all of my collective willpower, I couldn’t keep the moan from leaving my lips. Silent as a whisper in a hurricane, but Tristan had been able to hear it. Alpha Nolan felt like an explosion of passion and heat, feral lu*t and desire removing inhibitions. Kissing Tristan felt like thick dark chocolate, rich and seductive.
Just as I regained some of my common sense, I shoved against his chest for the third time, using every ounce of strength I could muster. Tristan stepped away from me, his lips red and his eyes bright. For a second, I had thought my strength was enough to push him away but then an impatient knock sounded at his door.
Tristan’s full lips turned up in a sly smile, placing a finger against them to silence me. Without further explanation, Tristan turned and opened his door.
A curly headed Vampire stood at the door, one I recognized from the night at the swimming hole.
Giovanni had escaped shortly after Tristan did, leaving a d**d Vampire and Scott behind.
“I have news for you.” Giovanni grunted; his eyes dark as he frowned at Tristan.
Shooting me one last lu*ty glance, Tristan murmured something quietly to Giovanni. While I strained to hear what they were saying, I only made out bits and pieces.
“…she got away…” Giovanni muttered, a dark look on his face.
Amusement hit me as I realized they were talking about me. I had escaped from the club, managing to save my brother and keep my friends alive. They had lost many Vampire’s on their side, but we hadn’t lost a single werewolf.
‘That’s for Katie and Kanyon.’ I thought smugly, glaring at the two Vampire’s.
Tristan turned his face partially to meet my eyes, his sly smile deepening. “She got away? Good. She will come back.”
I wanted to storm over and a****k him, wiping that sly smile from his face. The confidence in his eyes made me see red. How was he so sure I would come back to him? He himself knew how I felt about
Alpha Nolan.
‘Nolan’. I thought, nearly smiling at the sound of his name. Turning my eyes away from Tristan, I thought about Nolan and how his dark eyes and charming smile made me feel. I remembered how silky my hands felt in his hair, and the way he looked at me as though I were the moon in a dark sky.
Just as the door closed, leaving me alone with Tristan once more a tugging sensation formed in my gut. As though it were a long rope bringing me to Tristan, I felt as it snapped and the room faded into black.
My eyes snapped open, aching as sunlight burned into them. A thin layer of sweat coated my skin, and a headache had already begun to form around my temples. The irritating mark on my shoulder stung angrily, as if scolding me for running away from Tristan. Maya’s thoughts were a whirlwind of anger and disgust as I replayed where I had been.
A set of dark eyes watched me from the corner of the room, making me visibly jump as I met Alpha
Nolan’s intense gaze.
Seated on one of the armchairs, Alpha Nolan watched me closely. His dark eyes were locked on the scarlet mark that tormented me, narrowing as if he knew what had happened.
“Good morning.” I cleared my throat, wincing at how weak my voice had sounded.
“You were saying his name in your sleep.” Alpha Nolan pointed out, his calm voice hiding the rage he felt. “I tried to wake you up, but you were practically d**d to the world.”
I wanted to deny anything happened, deny that Tristan had put his hands and lips on me. Most of all, I wanted to deny that a small part of me blossomed under his touch.
Alpha Nolan’s eyes narrowed, taking in my heated face and dewy skin. I clutched the blanket around my nak*d chest, using it as support for what I planned to say next.
“It was this stupid mark, it brought me to him.” I hissed lowly, clenching my teeth as my stomach rolled.
“Why were you screaming his name, Daisy?” Alpha Nolan’s voice remained hard; his anger steady.
However, I wasn’t sure his anger was directed towards me. From the look of loathing on his face, it seemed he was angry at himself.
“It seems Tristan doesn’t care for consent.” My voice turned dark as I registered the murderous glint in
Alpha Nolan’s eyes. My own voice was laced with disgust as I tried to soothe some of the anger within
Alpha Nolan. “I tried to fight back, but I was weak without Maya. He only managed to kiss me before someone knocked on his door.”
I decided to leave out the part where his hand had snuck up my shirt, and how a tiny part of me had enjoyed it. I knew Alpha Nolan was close to exploding, and I wanted to minimize the damage while I could.
“He kissed you?” The emotion seeped from Alpha Nolan’s voice, instead retreating to his darkened eyes. “I’ve had enough of this. We need to get his f**king mark off your skin.”
“Wait.” I paused, thinking back to what Giovanni and Tristan were talking about. “I was still there when someone knocked at his door. It was that other Vampire from the swimming holeGiovanni. I couldn’t hear much of what they were saying, but this could be useful.”
“Useful?” Alpha Nolan’s eyes blazed, but I stood my ground. “How is being tied to thatVampire useful?”
“If I can bring myself to him at the right moment, who knows what I might overhear?” My eyes remained hard, unyielding but my lips turned up in a sly smile. “
Staying connected to Tristan felt like a silver shard lodged in the bloodstream. Sure, a small part of me longed for him but the rest of me absolutely loathed the Vampire. I felt no animosity or distain towards Alpha Nolan, as his touch and presence seemed to consume me entirely.
Still, I couldn’t deny that staying connected to Tristan didn’t have its benefits. If I managed to figure this link out, I could drop in at any point. Who knows what kinds of plans I could overhear?
I could see the hurt hidden beneath the boiling anger in Alpha Nolan’s eyes, and ignored the sharp pain it sent through me. I couldn’t voice what I felt towards Alpha Nolan in words.
How could you explain that someone’s mere presence consumes you? That their touch ignites every cell, every nerve ending on the body. Even though I wanted more from Alpha Nolan, I would’ve settled for anything just to stay by his side.
I hoped beyond anything that the Moon Goddess wasn’t cruel, that she wouldn’t pair me with someone like Tristan. I had another concern, one hidden so deep, I hadn’t allowed it to see light. If Tristan was my mate, that meant I was destined for terrible things. If Alpha Nolan were my mate, that meant I’d become Luna of his vast pack.
Alpha Nolan knew there was nothing we could do to remove Tristan’s mark on my neck, not without my mate there to claim me himself. The thought made my heart leap as I looked into Alpha Nolan’s dark eyes.
“I don’t want him, Nolan.” I shook my head, my heart a thundering mess as I took a risky leap. “But I want this war to end and I want this pack to feel safe again. We both know that what I listen in on could change everything.”
