Makahi’s POV :, “DAMN IT! Why the hell isn’t Montego nor Shadow responding. I haven’t heard from them since they called to tell me they’ve made it to my uncle’s pack. “HONNNEEYYY! Where are you?” Summer asked via mindlink. Sighing I had left our room when she fell asleep so I could call my team. I had plan to sleep on the couch in my office because the last thing I needed was to sleep with Summer in our bed. I have been trying to avoid any confusion once Jilahni gets back. I had already messed up earlier because of the mates bond, after Britney left with strict instructions that Summer remained on bedrest for a few days but also ABSOLUTELY no stress even suggested doing things to relieve stress and relax her, with a wink in our direction, and that was all Summer needed to hear, I tried to resist her by saying she had just had a scare but she was relentless and we ended up bringing each other release with our hands and mouths. I immediately felt like s**t as soon as my release ended. Summer ended up falling asleep and me sneaking out to call Montego. “Hey I’m in the office. What do you need?” I asked via mindlink. “I missed you, I’m hungry so I thought we could eat something and then finish what we started earlier.” she responded. “I’ll have one of the Omegas bring you something and I will join you once I’m done here.” I said and she reluctantly agreed. Just then Montego mind linked me to let me know they were entering the gates of our pack. My heart immediately started to race at the thought of seeing my pups again and seeing Ji’lahni. “OK I’ll meet you at the house where they will be staying.” I said getting up from my desk excitedly. “Wait alpha I don’t know if it’s a good idea for you to come just yet maybe wait until they get settled.” Montego said nervously. Frowning suspeciously “What the hell are you talking about Montego why do I need to wait?” I asked. There was a long pause to the point I felt like I was going to have to repeat myself. But he answered as I was about to repeat the question. “Well alpha, your uncle’s Beta Dom came along with us to help protect the girls.” I frowned wondering why uncle sent his beta when they needed all the men they could get. But even so I’m still not seeing why that is a problem with me coming to see them. “Why is he here and what does that have to do with me seeing my pups and Ji’lahni?” I asked. And again their was a long pause. “Well Alpha it seems as though he and Ji’lahni are dating.” Montego said in a nervous whisper and I lost it. “I’LL KILL HIM!” Maka immediately came to the fore front as I broke my office door off its hinges. Maka’s sole purpose was to kill the wolf who dares to touch my other half and my pups. I could vaguely hear Montego trying to stop me. But he should have known it was above me now only the goddess herself would be able to stop me from killing that damn Beta male who thought he could touch my mate. He allowed a man to lay claim to what’s mine and brought him to my pack. And Montego better hope I stop at just that beta’s death and not his too., Montego’s POV:, “s**t! Shadow put the bags down and… and Shawna you and Mina get the babies in the house NOW! Ji’lahni I know you don’t owe him no loyalty, but if you don’t want b***d shed please step away from the beta and get behind Shadow and beta Dom you will respect the Alpha of this pack I don’t know if you know that Ji’lahni is his other half mate but there are things going on that you’re unaware of because it’s classified so just don’t provoke our Alpha if you can’t respect that then I can’t help what he may do to you.” l said hoping to get them apart before I tell Kahi. I was debating on whether to answer him or not, he was pushing for answers and I knew I would have to tell him it was better to tell him then rather than him walking up on the 2 love birds the Beta was all over her. She seemed a little uncomfortable but accepted his attention. I saw Ji’lahni step out of his embraced and walked next to Shadow but not behind him. I looked over to the Beta who looked hurt by Ji’lahni’s actions, he weighed his options but he knew he had to abide by the rules of this pack and its Alpha. He finally squared his shoulders and crossed his arms defiantly, but nodded in my directions. I then mindlink Kahi letting him know about Ji’lahni and the beta. They heard the exact moment I told Kahi about them. Because All we heard was a loud growl that shook the entire ground. We saw Makahi come into view and his sole focus was on the Beta. “s**t! I said through gritted teeth. Dom whatever you do don’t react.” I said inching towards the beta to make sure Kahi doesn’t kill him instantly. But before I could block the beta from kahi Ji’lahni stepped in front of me and the Beta. Kahi stops dead in his tracks, inches away from her and his eyes immediately softens and a strangled torchored howl came from Kahi right before he picks Ji’lahni up into his arms and ran into the woods. The Beta was about to go after them, but Shadow held him back. “He won’t hurt her she controls his wolf, let them be for now. She may get him to not kill all of us.” Shadow said guiding the Beta back to the vans to unload the rest of their luggage. I sure hope she can calm Maka enough to not kill the beta and me because the look in his eyes sent shivers down my spine., Back to Mahaki and Maka POV:, “Kahi what the hell man? Put me down. I swear I am going to stab you if you don’t put me down.” Ji’lahni yelled as I ran into the woods to get her far away from that beta, she even smelled like him which only pissed me off more and made me run further into the woods. I didn’t stop until I came to a little shack me and Montego built as teens in order to sneak off and drink and hang out no one knew it was out here and we haven’t been here in years. We had it hidden behind trees and brushes, someone passing by would just see trees and dense bushes. I kicked the make shift door in and entered the dark shack and placed her on the floor and went in search for the old lamp and lighter hoping it still worked, luckily it did. Once I lit the shack up Ji’lahni looked around still breathing hard and still angry., I’m trying to control Maka who wanted to take her and mark her just to claim her and get the damn beta’s scent off her. “What the hell is wrong with you Kahi?” she came to me punching at my chest. I grabbed her wrist and yanked her to me and kissed her to shut her up but also because I needed to. At first she was stiff in my arms but a growl from Maka had her gasping and I took the opportunity to deepen the k**s which she whimpered and wrapped her arms around my neck and I lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around my waist. We didn’t stop until we had to come up for air, leaning my forehead on hers trying to stop myself from capturing her lips again. “Hey.” She whispered and I couldn’t help the small laugh that escape my lips. “Hey.” I said as I carried her to the couch and sit down with her straddling me not wanting to sit her on the dirty couch she must have thought the same thing because she didn’t try to move. “Khai we can’t keep doing this you’re mated to Summer you made a choice that I’m trying to accept and move on with my life.”, “Lahni, I know this is f****d up and all my fault but I. WILL. KILL. HIM if I see him touch you or smell him on you. I will lose control like I did tonight. I don’t know why I’m still connected to you, this has never happened before. I’m trying to figure it out I promise I just need some time, can you please wait until we figure things out. Maka is clawing at my consciousness trying to break free so he can mark you he feels our connection way stronger then I do because he was against me marking Summer from the start. He wants you just as much as I do maybe more so because you’re human with no wolf he is also connected to you and it somehow makes the bond between us stronger then I’ve ever heard of.” I said pleadingly, hoping she understands where I’m coming from., She sat staring at me in disbelief then a single tear dropped from her eyes. “Please allow Maka to join us?” She asked quietly. “I can’t he wants to mark you and claim you.” I gasped shaking my head no. “Maka won’t hurt me I trust him with my life.” she said confidently. Hearing her words I could feel Maka howl in happiness and in sheer joy at her faith in him. So I allowed Maka to join me looking into Ji’lahni’s eyes I could tell when she realized Maka had joined me. She cupped my jaw with her hand. “Hello Maka, I’m glade you can join us. I wanted you here so we could talk. I understand that we still feel connected but Kahi has mated Summer.” Maka snorted in anger causing Ji’lahni to giggle. ” I don’t know what Kahi’s plan is on trying to break our bond.” She said with a flicker of pain flashing cross her eyes. “Never! You’re mine.” Maka growled out in sadness with the thought of breaking our bond which I had no plans to ever do. “Whatever he decide to do I will try my best to limit my interactions with Dom until then.” she promised. Growling, Maka said. “Don’t let him touch you I will kill him.” Sighing. “I will make sure he understands that we need space. But I will not stop being friends. Deal?” Ji’lahni asked… Knowing that this is the best I can hope for I sighed as Maka nodded unhappily then receded back to my subconscious. “I’ll go along with your request but he stays at the pack house not your house.” I said pulling her closer to me and I buried my head in her neck inhaling her scent not realizing how much I missed her., She m****d and wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer… I growled and cupped her a*s smelling her arousal trailing kissing her down her neck. “Kahi we can’t do this.” She m****d as I nipped her marking spot and her scent grew stronger causing a low hungry growl as I instantly grabbed her a*s and pulled her up until her p***y was aligned with my hard c**k and she immediately started grinding her h**s again my d**k. “Oh f**k!” I growled as her h**s moved up and down my shaft she was digging into my shoulder for leverage and to get as close as she could. The yoga pants she wore were soaked and she was quickly soaking my sweats I’m so glad I chose to wear black today. She was whimpering everytime I hit her clit I was trembling trying to keep her steady I could feel myself about to c*m quick like a f*****g teenager from just humping Jilahni. “Oh God! Kahi please don’t stop.” she m****d starting to pick up her pace. “s**t baby you gotta slow down I don’t want to finish too fast.” I m****d barely able to get the words out I was moaning and breathing hard and fast barely able form the words., “Khai… Khai.. Where are you What’s going on I’m feeling really uncomfortable Kahi where are you.” Summer said abruptly. “s**t!” I stopped immediately freezing automatically ruining the moment Ji’lahni stopped abruptly lifting her head up to look at my face and knew why I stopped. She quickly let out a low curse and unwrapped herself from me climbing off my lap walking out outside without saying a word. “I had pack business I’ll be back shortly.” I mindlinked Summer. Maka was pissed that we didn’t get to satisfy our mate. He growled and blocked me after cursing me to hell and hoping a wolf would attack and cut my head off so the moon goddess could give him a smarter human and I actually agreed with him this time I wanted Ji’lahni so bad my heart and soul ached for her., Taking a deep breath I got up and walked out the shack to a defeated Ji’lahni who was kicking at an overgrown weed with her arms crossed. “Ji’lahni, I.” “We should start the walk back. I know the girls are hungry.” She interrupted snapping her head up looking in every direction but mine. I wanted to pull her in my arms and never let go but I know I can’t right now. “It’s back that way it will be faster if I carried you.” “No!” She stepped back as I took a step in her direction. “Look. It would be better for both our sakes if we give each other some space. That’s the only way to keep the peace and keeps your wife mate or whatever from threatening me and my babies.” she said turning in the direction of where I nodded., “Ji’lahni.” I rushed in the direction she was walking and I wrapped my arms around her and whispered. “I’m sorry.” as I buried my head into her neck inhaling her intoxicating scent and tried to commit it to memory. “I am too Khai I am too.” she replied sagging into me laying her head back into my chest. We stood like that for a few more minutes cherishing the solitude of just being us together feeling our feelings for each other flow between us like a tether that binds us together. Knowing we couldn’t stay like this forever. “I need to carry you baby. Because I just need to and it’s entirely too far to walk.” I said into her ear softly, her breath hitched at my closeness. But nodded in agreement. I gently picked her up holding her close to me as she wrapped her arms around my neck. We were back within minutes. I placed her on the ground once we were in the backyard of the house. Montego, Shadow, and the Beta were on the patio., The beta was pacing back and forth while Montego and Shadow lounged on the patio chairs. Once they scented us the beta rushed towards jilahni but I quickly pulled her to me and growled. He stopped abruptly looking at me then looked at Ji’lahni. “Baby are you OK. Did he.” I growled taking a step towards him. I will rip his throat out for even implying that I would hurt my mate. “Woah, Woah. Dom I’m fine Khai would never hurt me. I apologize for earlier and I will explain everything after we’re settled in.” Ji’lahni said stepping between us taking care to not touch him which Maka howled in pleasure. “Mate listens to me. No thanks to you dummy.” he said retreating back into my mind. “Montego will show you to your room at the pack house where you will be staying while you’re here.” I said glancing at Montego seeing him hop up heading in our direction. The beta looked at me in surprise. “What are you talking about my things are already in Ji’lahni’s room.” I moved pass Lahni so fast she didn’t have time to react as I lift the beta up by the throat as Maka came forwatd. “Unless you want me to ship pieces of your body back to my uncle you will never touch my mate or my pups again. If I see you touching her I. WILL. KILL. You.” Maka said using my Alpha aura that was so strong it had Montego and Shadow falling to their knees baring their neck., The Beta tried to fight my aura but he was a beta after all once he nodded I dropped him abruptly and he too dropped to his knees baring his neck angrily. Satisfied, Maka receded and I realize just then Ji’lahni punching the arm that held the beta. “What? It wasn’t me.” I smiled shrugging as Shadow helped the beta up off the ground. I’m so sorry Dom he’s being an a*s. Just let Montego show you to your room and I’ll come to the pack house tomorrow for breakfast and we can talk about this.” Lahni said coming close to him but careful not to touch him. He wanted to say something but just nodded as Montego escorted him to the pack house and Shadow went in to grab his bags, which were right by the door. He removed them knowing that the beta wasn’t staying in there but didn’t know if he would be shipping them back to my uncle’s pack along with his body or not., Once we stepped into the house we were greeted by screaming babies with Mina and Lynn pacing and bouncing them, Shawna escaped with Shadow. Once they saw us they practically threw them at us and leaving us alone. Tru quieted as soon as she sniffed me. She gave a happy grunt and grabbed my face excitedly giving me sloppy k****s squealing. I laughed as she kept grabbing at my face. I saw Teri still crying and I reached for her and Ji’lahni gave her to me as well and she cried until she scented me and did the same thing. I allowed Maka to joined me and he gave a lie growl which made the girls stop abruptly I thought Maka scared them but they just squealed even louder and continued giving me sloppy k****s. “They must have missed you more then I thought they would. I’m so sorry, I should have thought about the fact that you were practically a single parent while I was in that coma so of course they were attached to you. I’m so sorry Kahi if I had known.” She said crying. “Stop it baby. You did what you thought was best. I admit that I didn’t protect you and my girls like I should have and for that I’m sorry.” I said handing her a baby and pulled them all into my arms. I let a tear fall taking in the fact that I have finally got my family back and I will do whatever I needed to do to make sure she never feels like she has to run away from me to protect our pups or her family again., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
