Tobias's POV

My footsteps echo across the pale limestone flagstones as I pace up and down the length of my room, the same restless circuit I have walked every night for weeks. Sleep has become a stranger to me. At best I catch an hour or two here and there, sometimes slumped in the chair by the window, but never more than that. It has been nearly three years since I last knew the weightless relief of a full night’s rest.

The gothic splendour of these chambers means nothing anymore. Once I might

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 471

    Lincoln's POV:Her fingers work the button free with practiced ease.The sound of my zipper descending seems impossibly loud in the quiet of the clifftop. Night insects have gone silent. The wind has stilled. Even the stars overhead seem to hold their breath, watching."Lift your hips," Zahra murmurs.I obey before my brain catches up to the command. She peels my jeans down my legs, taking my boxers with them in one smooth motion, and then I am bare beneath her. Completely exposed. The night air kisses against my balls as, my cock springs free, already achingly hard, curving up toward my belly.Zahra sits back on her heels and looks at me.Just looks.Heat crawls up my neck. My hands twitch at my sides, desperate to cover myself, to shield my inexperience from her gaze. But Lex growls low in my chest and pins my arms in place with sheer force of will.‘Let her see,’ he commands. ‘She is our mate. She should see all of us.’"You are incredible," Zahra whispers. Her voice wraps around t

    Lincoln's POVLex howls inside my skull, a desperate sound that vibrates through every nerve ending. ‘More. More. More.’ He’s no longer forming words, he just sends need, and hunger, and I’m drowning in it right along with him.The wet heat of her opens against my mouth and I am lost. Completely, Irrevocably.I drag the flat of my tongue up her slit again, slower this time, mapping the terrain of her with a devotion that borders on worship. The texture of her changes as I go, soft folds giving way to firmer flesh, and at the apex of my stroke, right where Xander showed me it was, I find her clitoris the small, hard nub makes her entire body jerk when I brush my tongue against it."Lincoln!" Her fingers knot in my hair and yank.The sting on my scalp sends a bolt of electricity straight to my cock, which is currently pressing painfully against the seam of my trousers. I groan into her flesh and the vibration causes her gasp, making her hips buck up to meet my mouth.‘She likes that,’ L

    Lincoln's POVShit. This is going to be so fucking hard."Can I kiss you?"The question leaves me before I can stop it, rough and urgent, and far less smooth than I imagined it would sound."Yes," she breathes, and I move, almost lunging at her in my desperation to get my mouth on hers again.Her mouth meets mine, and the world narrows to a single point of contact, warm and tentative, but then her lips part and everything sharpens into focus.She tastes like the tea she drank at dinner, and underneath it her beautiful jasmine and citrus scent lingers on her mouth.My hand slides from her cheek into her hair, the strands tangling around my fingers, and Zahra makes a small sound against my mouth that turns my blood to fire.'Goddess,' Lex sighs in my mind. 'She is everything.'I tug her closer, and she comes willingly, her hands finding my shoulders, then my chest, then fisting in the fabric of my shirt as the kiss deepens. My tongue brushes hers and she moans, soft and low, the vibrati

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 468

    Lincoln's POVHer voice is soft, almost teasing, and I feel the words travel down my spine. My hand is still wrapped around hers. These sparks are addictive, the skin-to-skin contact so distracting. Fuck, what will it be like to have her whole-body flush against mine?My body heats instantly, my cock starting to fill.Fuck."Did your brother ever come out here?" Zahra asks, and thankfully the question about my idiot brother has my cock deflating fast."When he was a baby, yes, but I doubt he remembers it. Once he was older, Mum didn't bring him. She always said this was our place. I'm sure she had a special spot with him too. She always made sure we both spent time alone with her, bonding, talking.""You miss her," she sighs."Yeah, but I'm glad I had fifteen years with her.""You're lucky," she sighs. "I never knew my mother. She died giving birth to me. I'd never known any sort of motherly affection until Luna Alison took me in. Even now, it still surprises me."I feel her sadness t

    Lincoln's POV'What the hell, man? How could you let her walk into this?'Tobias's link drips with vitriol, and he's right.Goddess damn, he's right.The tension in the room has every hair on my body on edge. We're supposed to be here to reassure the pack and calm things down ahead of the fucking inspection, and now this?Lex is standing to attention, every instinct focused on our mate, because it feels like a very real possibility that someone might lunge for her, and I know from the set of Xander's shoulders and the way Tobias is squeezing his cutlery they both feel it as well.At least the one saving grace is that they will both put themselves between Zahra and any harm. If this breaks into an all-out fight, Zahra will have my entire unit and three Alphas, as well as her own incredible skill, to keep her safe.I can't fucking believe I put her in this position.'I didn't see this coming,' Lex murmurs, berating himself for the hundredth time.'We don't have a bond with the pack yet.

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 466

    Zahra's POVLincoln looks around the room, surveying his pack before starting; "Good evening, Shadow Pack. It's wonderful to see you all again and be back on home soil." He pauses as ripples of murmurs spread across the room. "I am sorry to have left you for so long after only just becoming your Alpha, but I had a rather important job to do."He glances down at me, and his eyes very briefly flicker to Tobias's before he continues."I met my mate." He smiles. "I had to wait until the other day for her to come of age and for the bond to reveal itself to her. Shadow, I would like to introduce you all to your Luna, Zahra Larking, Beta female from Bloodmoon."There are stunned gasps, and no one cheers. Not one person.Lincoln registers it too. His jaw tightens before he continues."The feud between Bloodmoon and Shadow died with my father. We have no grudges with them, and this new alliance formed by our bond, and my close friendship with their future Alpha," he indicates Xander, "will ens
