LOGINWinter's povMy eyes widened as Axel continued burying his face against my neck, taking slow, deep breaths like he was trying to memorize my scent."W-What..." I stammered before looking helplessly at Ashton. "Ashton, what the hell has gotten into your brother?" My voice came out a mixture of confusion and complete shock.Another low rumble vibrated through Axel's chest before it shifted into something softer. A purr. The sound sent an unexpected shiver racing through me.I knew some about werewolves but not everything was disclosed to those who weren't their kind. There are things I don't know about. Things like now.....Ashton visibly winced and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "I..." He cleared his throat. "I can't really explain it right now."My brows furrowed, confusion swimming deep."But don't be scared of him," Ashton said quickly, as if sensing riding panic. "He's not going to hurt you."I looked down at Axel, who still hadn't moved away from my neck."He's just..." As
Winter's pov"What?" My shocked gaze snapped between Axel and Ashton. Surely I'd heard him wrong. I slowly turned back to Axel and found his jaw locked, every muscle in his face tense."You're coming home with me, Winter," he repeated, his voice calm but leaving absolutely no room for an argument.I stared at him, my brows knitting together in confusion as I searched his face for any sign that he was joking. He wasn't."No, I'm not," I replied, my voice coming out far more confused than angry.I pushed against his chest, trying to sit up properly, but instead of letting me go, his arm only tightened around my waist."Axel..." I said.His jaw flexed. "I'm not letting you sleep in the same building as those girls," he said firmly. "Who knows what they'll do to you if you go back there."My mouth slowly fell open slightly and I just...stared at him in shock. Why was he suddenly caring about me?Since when was Axel Storme worried about little old me?This was the same guy who had acted
Winter's povThe words had barely left my mouth when the low growl vibrating through Axel's chest faded. He relaxed instantly and his eyes softened but he didn't say a word. Just holds me tighter.I can't help it; I leaned against him, resting my head on his chest. His heart rammed hard beneath my ear.I can't believe that I am in his arms right now. The guy who always pushed me away now holds me against him like he feared that if he let go, I would disappear. I don't know what to make of it, but right now...right now, I was too exhausted to question it.The events of the night finally caught up to me all at once, making me slightly exhausted to think too much into Axel and me. My focus was on my ruined lecture notes, losing my job and being forced into that dressing room and onto the stage.The tears I'd refused to shed began burning my eyes again. I squeezed them shut, refusing to cry. I swallowed the lump in my throat and focused on the beat of Axel's heart instead, which had calme
Winter's povThe entire room went completely still and even Michael stopped struggling. Ashton's eyes held no humor whatsoever. "My brother is already one bad decision away from tearing this place apart."His gaze flicked toward Axel, who was still carrying me but had stopped when he heard his brother had warned Michael. He must be waiting to see if Michael would be bold enough to fight off Ashton. Axel was protective of his brother and I knew he would tear this place apart if Michael dared fight his brother. "Don't give him another reason." Ashton uttered in a warning tone that made Michael visibly gulp. Ashton released him with a shove and Michael stumbled backward, rubbing his throat without saying another word. Seeing that no one would dare fight him and Ashton, Axel started for the exit. "Axel!" I hit his back again. "Would you put me down already?"But he doesn't even respond, just growls low in throat. I stiffened when I sensed that it was his wolf and not really him. The
Winter's povMy heart slammed against my ribs. "A-Axel, " The single word barely escaped my lips. His eyes hadn't met mine yet, instead his crimson eyes remained locked on every single person below the stage like they were prey. His chest rose and fell with deep breaths as one could clearly see his wolf bleeding through him. The club had gone deathly silent. No music, no cheers or whistling. Just silence. And just by the way they looked at him, I knew they feared him. Without a word, Axel stalked toward the stage. Each step he made forward made the air grow more tense as the crowd parted for him. Ashton was right behind him, eyes darting around to see if anyone would be bold enough to stop them. I backed away instinctively, my bare feet catching against the polished stage as my heart starts to pound hard. " Ax-el-He was in front of the stage within seconds and his eyes finally lift to mine. The rage had vanished, well not completely but enough to reveal something soft flickering a
Winter povThe lights blinded me and I lifted my hand up to shield my eyes from their cruelty but then stumble back when the crowd started to applause and whistle. My stomach churn.Every instinct in my body urged me to run, to hide but one glance at Masha and I swallowed. Jane was beside her with her phone up and both of them were smirking.Were they taking out photos of me? Or a video?I tear myself eye away and looked at the crowd below. Rows of faces blurred together beneath the flashing lights. So many men came forward, excitement in their faces.I hugged my arms around myself instinctively and Masha snarls. "Don't let me come out there to force you myself! Drop your hands!"I knew she meant every word so I quickly dropped my hands, swallowing as I hear hoots and cheers. I feel completely sick to my stomach. The humiliation burned hotter than the stage lights.Timothy voice echoed over the speakers."Looks like someone's a little shy tonight. Let's give our newest girl a warm welc
Winter's povThe feel of him, the heat, the low grunts brushing against my ear as he moved in and out of me was intoxicating.I cling to Ashton, my nails biting into his shoulder as he thrusts into me deeper. My back arches, my breasts pressing to his bare chest as I flutter out a moan. "Oh A-"Win
Kimberly's povThe air gets tense when my words are let out because not a single sound came from the other vampires standing before me. Then one of the vampires laughed and the other two joined.The sound was cruel and cold, as if they couldn't believe I had the audacity to make such a request. The
Evie's povStanding on the stage surrounded by his entire pack, Ryan's eyes still searched for me first and when they did find mine, those eyes softened immediately. Butterflies erupted violently in my stomach.Everyone held their breath when Ryan stepped toward the center of the platform. Ryan sur
Evie's povI didn't like the way she said it or the way she looked at me. I could see it in the depths of her soul as I peer into her eyes across the bed....she hated me.I looked at Ryan pleasingly. " I will be fine I promise. I will drink fluids if it's necessary but I don't want to stay here."R
