Chapter Seven
Oh my goddes
Td barely had the opportunity to question my daughter about the identity of the one she was talking about, when suddenly the crowd parted. As if
direction of the one that they somehow sensed the presence of the newcomer and their alpha’s desire to see her for himself. Raising my gaze in the din sailed through the door. I was shocked to the morrow of my bone
She was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Though she was remarkably shorter than the average woman at five seven, the heels gave her a good shree inches. Her size didn’t deier my focus from her beauty, She had a highly developed athletic body encased in leather pants that fit smugly against an ass. The mysterious woman wore a matching leather vest barely squeezing her breasts, and could see a pierced naval. From the crease of her neck all the way down to the tips of her finger her left arm was stained in a wealth of tattoos. For some, they would’ve seen it as unattractive for the the ink on her skin only magnified her beauty.
As my gaze traveled the length of her body I tried not to be lured by her breasts, but was hard to do. Finally my sights settled on her face, as her oval–shaped face was framed by hair of various color. Normally liked my women with long hair, but her barely came to the end of her chin. I was a little disappointed, nothing for me to grab onin. She had wide peri lips stained by the blue lipstick she wore, that perfectly matched her strange
eyes.
My body was whipped into a frenzy just by the sight of her before me, lust slammed into me from nowhere. It was a good thing we weren’t alone. As my eyes glazed over I knew if everyone wasn’t there I’d have gladly thrown her down and ravished her body, Fuck, I still wanted to. It took every ounce of strength i had to remain ronted in my seat, rather than satisfy my cravings.
As she reached the opposite side of the table she suddenly stopped, her scent was causing havor inside of me. She offered a half–crooked smile full of secrets, leading me to wonder if she knew her effect. “Hello. My name is Von.”
Von Insed.
Goddess, even her name was sexy,
Shoving those thoughts out of my mind before anyone saw the effect she had on me, my f Tm Alpha Kaden. What brings you to my territory!”
face remained as emotionless as ever. I extended a hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Kadden,” she spoke in an accem I found odd, it wasn’t quite exotic but gave the impression of sandy beaches. Her lying naked, panting, begging for mor ,“Tim just passing through. Ed come by to say goodbye to an old friend and thought it respectful to alert you of my presence in your territory.”
Tadmired the courage of this young woman, as not many would’ve felt brave enough to confront me. Especially a young girl, all alone in the world. I leaned back in my seat as I reached for a goblet of wine, eying her above the rim of my glass. “You’re welcome to sit down. Tell me about this
“Dad,” Layla protested
Lowering down in the chair as he’d offered to her, she crossed her legs elegantly and reached for her own glass of wine. Those strange eyes of hers focused on the alpha sitting across from her, a series of thoughts flooding them. “It was a woman very near and dear to my heart. She shall be forever
I frowned at her. “She passed!
“Quite recently too,” she assured me, a thoughtful expression glanced off into the distance as her pain became evident.
“I’m sorry for that,” I told her sincerely. I could see that she was truly hurt at the loss she’d endured and felt compelled to respond to it. Why did 1 carr! This girl was nothing to mr.
“Hello my family,” Larken’s almost shirred greeting came from off to the side, proof of the hours speist drinking. Planting a loving kiss on the top of lus twin’s head, he lowered down on the chair to his father’s side. “So who is this delectable crescure accupying your time? Of course he’d set his sights on the new girl, probably hoping for a chance between her legs. The thought sem my anger boiling towards the roof, at the thought my son could ever love her.
The coolest blue eyes seen focused on the boy who’d arrived at the table, eyes urrowing into thin slits. Scoffing as if finding him to be lacking, sle leaned back in her chair, totally dismissing him. “My name is Von, Von Silvervayne if you must know.”
Not realizing the rejection she was offering him, Larken leaned forward in his seat, peering deeply at her. “So what brings you here all alone Surely your mate wouldn’t dare ler a creature as latautiful as you from his side?”
Laughter erupted from her lips then. “If I had a mate he’d be smart enough to know that I am not a girl that can be tied down, by either him or fate” “No mate yet.” he mused.

but he turned out to be a worthless puree of slut who didn’t realize
Star shrugged delicate shoulders. “No I thought I might of had one
shat a gift it was to be mated to me.”
Then be the fool.” Larken grunted
“Yeah,” she laughed. “He is quite a fool ”
Clapert Seven
Sirting back in my seat as I watched the interaction between them, I tried to keep my lip from quivering I love my son, but he wasn’t il
tool in the shed. Larken never leamed to read between the lines, completely oblivious to the obvious insults in her words. It was clear thur Von Silvervayne had found him Locally lacking in her eyes, but his son wasn’t catching the drift.
Secretly, though ordy to myself, I was delighted at the knowledge she had no attempts to pursue the boy. In the momments before I caught on jealousy had slammed into me, anger my son could have a chance. Hating the knowledge it was my own son who could have her, when I wanted to have her beneath me. Above me. Hell, I didn’t care how I had her, just floored with the knowledge I wanted to fuck her in a way that’d leave both of
us panting
More than a little alarmed at the direction my thoughts were leading me, I knew I had to get out of there. Now. Before I did something that would change everything. The last thing I needed right now was for my children to be made aware of the thoughts I was having. Determined that it wouldn’t come to that I hurriedly explained my need to leave, then departed the pack house. Though I made a valid point of bidding my farewells to Von Silvervayne, aware I’d probably never see her again.
I was wront
Some time had passed with me drinking though for entirely different reasons—when a knock came at the door. My head jerked up at the noise of bring floored by the woman who was standing in the doorway, “Von! What are you doing in here? How did you get into my house?”
Sashaying her hips provocatively as she wandered further into the room, she propped her hip up against the edge of the table. A smile toyed with her lips. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been here, Alpha Kadden I was once told to look upon it as my home too”
I frowned. “What are you talking about?”
“Think,” she told me. Tim sure it come back.”
For the first time I stared at the young woman before me, truly looking at her as I hadn’t done in the grand hall. Though it was the eyes that pulled me in her, falling into the pool of those depths, sending my mind spinning. “Rayven?”
She grinned. “I knew you’d figure it out.”
Slammed with the reality of who this young woman really was, a truth that left me totally speechless. When Rayven Carlisle disappeared from the town two years ago she’d been an average teenage girl. Now standing before me was a totally stunning–looking sex goddess, strong and beautiful in a whole new way. My mind was spinning dizzily when suddenly I froze, a scent was coming off of her, a scent that called to me.
“Oh fuck,” I groaned.
Von’s POV
“What the fuck am I supposed to do now?” I wandered thoughtfully as I stared down at the unconscious Alpha who’d passed out on the floor. This was so not what I’d been intending to happen when I had headed towards the Alpha manor for the two of us to talk
When Alpha Kadden had made his excuses from the Pack house I too had made my departure. Again I had told myself to get the hell out of this town before the past had the chance to repeat itself. I could do without the pain. Only I couldn’t bring myself to drive out of town, my mind focused on the look on Alpha Kadden’s face as he walked away from the packhouse.
The pain. The turmoil. The overwhelming guilt. I didn’t know what had happened that led to Lura Sara–Beth’s death, but I knew the thought was eating him up. Remembering the couple from my time growing up in Shadow Creek, I could understand how he felt. It couldn’t have been easy for hum to lose his wife after all the years the two of them were together. So despite my desires to get out of this town that only brought pain. I’d driven to the manor instead.
When I’d seen him slumped over on the couch in the office I’d been plagued by that same sense of yearning. I didn’t understand what was going on inside of me, but I needed to be there for him tonight. To help mend his broken soul. So ignoring the voice in the back of my head that warned me to leave, I announced my presence. I’d even let him in on the secret of my identity, though that was absolutely the last thing I wanted. Why the hell did I do that? I didn’t have a clue what was going on with me.
He’d barely had the chance to come to terms with my identity when suddenly I was assailed by the most aromatic scent of my life. It tasted of cinnamon, brown sugar and honey. As I caught that heavenly scent a hunger built up inside of me, a craving so strong it was almost impossible to ignore. “Mate!‘ echoed in the silence of my mind. Wait. What the fuck? Impossible. No sooner did that word slam into me with the force of a sledeclammer, when he collapsed to the floor.
Now here I was sitting in the chair looking at him, plagued with uncertainty about what was going on. What the hell had just happened? Fingeri raked through my shon–cropped hair, my mind spun with the reality of that one word bombshell I shook my head. No. No. No. No way in hell was there a chance that word had entered my mind, especially when it came to this man, It’d only been two years ago when that same word had echoed in my mind, though not with half the force. Larken Black was my fated mate, not his father. Yet, as the force continued to bare down on me, the tethers of our heartstrings intertwining, there was no denying the truth I’d been faced with. Alpha Kadden Black was my mate. I’d been mated to the fucking Alplu Karışı
Overwhelmed with the reality of what had just happened I stalked across the room, snatching up the bottle. Although drinking was rare for me, only the occasional beer, it coulilit he helped right now, I needed the alcohol in the face of what had just transpired in my life, as it was definitely rank shattering. I’d just realized that I’d been inated to the alpha of Shadow Creek, the King of Norckkara. My best friend’s father. Worst off, the father of my first made
That was the hardest part for me to come to terms with, tonight the reality I’d linen remated. Why! It’d never luppened before. There was a reason why the bond between mates was so special – it only happened once in a lifetime. In the thousands of years since Werewolves bad roamed the world not once, not the single time, luda will been given a second fated mure. So why now?
Yes, I needed a drink

Many many drinks.
