Both Cole and Jordan agreed she should ride in the front seat of the car while Zachary drove. They both complained of being tired and wanted to catch some sleep. She watched as they both sat in the second row and leaned against the windows.

Sitting in the front put Marley at ease. There, she could watch the road, which helped with her car sickness, gaining them an hour or two more before they had to pull over.

She felt so exhausted from not resting, but she couldn’t go to sleep. A part of her didn’t want to. Questions nagged constantly at her Ebook piracy is stealing. It is a federal offense.

mind. She wanted to find out more about Zachary and his pack. If she was going to be living there now, she needed to be prepared.

“Zachary, can you tell me about yourself?”

He smiled brightly at her. “There’s not much to tell. I was born and raised in Virginia. Went to school and earned my degree in business, the normal stuff. Just because we’re werewolves doesn’t mean that we have lives any different than regular humans. Some of us still work, although I haven’t for the last year.

“I take care of everyone in the pack, whether it has to do with their concerns on a certain matter or they need help getting something. Henry, my brother, has been taking care of that for me since I’ve left, but he keeps me informed.

“You’re going to love it, Marley. Everyone will love you, I promise. There’s no reason for you to be upset or scared.”

Relief calmed her somewhat. If everyone still lived their everyday lives, then there was no reason for her not to pick up where she had left off on her business. She would just have everything shipped up here.

“Zachary, can you tell me more about these people who are after us? That’s the part that I don’t understand. You explained it earlier, but what good would it do for them to have me or the baby? Couldn’t they just get someone else? What makes our baby so special?”

Zachary ran his fingers through his hair. “Well, it’s my blood, Marley. Both of my parents were werewolves. My mother almost lost me countless times due to her shift changes, but she carried me long enough to bring me into this world. After that, the stress took a toll on her body and she passed away. It’s rare to have parents who both are of the same blood. Do you understand?”

Marley’s heart ached for Zachary. To lose his mother before he had a chance to know her broke her heart.

“Yes, I understand. Our child is going to be stronger than most, that is what you’re saying, isn’t it?”

His eyes connected with hers. “That’s exactly what I am saying.

He won’t be as strong as his father, but powerful nonetheless.”

“He,” Marley spat out. “There are female werewolves, too, aren’t there? You said your mother was one.”

“Yes, of course there are. I guess I never thought about it like that.

I always just assumed. You know, Marley, you may be right. I stand corrected. Whatever we have, when the baby gets in their teenage years, they’re going to hold some massive strength.”

Marley smiled at his enthusiasm and closed her eyes, trying to picture them either having a son or a daughter. She couldn’t believe after all of this time she was actually going to become a mother.

Heaviness settled upon her and she let herself sink into it. After last night she needed sleep, some real, heavy, dreamless sleep. Her body began to feel tingly and she knew she was in the stage where unconsciousness beckoned. Marley didn’t linger. She dove in head first.

As if through a fog, the dimness of greens and brown began to surface. Narrowing her eyes, she focused harder until the shapes became clear. Trees, she became surrounded by trees again and not just any trees, the forest’s trees.

Marley’s stomach turned at the fear that once again plagued her.

This time she didn’t hesitate. She spun around, running at a full sprint to where she knew the light would be. Branches clawed at her face, but she didn’t pause. If she hesitated for one second she knew the wolves would find her.

The light shone down like a halo over the forest’s exit. She grew closer by the second. Just fifty yards to go and she would be safe. She didn’t expect the black wolf with yellow, glowing eyes to leap out in front of her.

With the sudden abruptness of her stop, her body skidded across the dirt. Twigs and pine needles bit into her arms and back. The smell of blood became evident to her sensitive senses.

The black wolf sniffed the air and then looked as if he smiled, lifting his lips to show razor-sharp teeth. If she didn’t run fast she would die, and she couldn’t risk making that mistake again.

Her legs reacted underneath her, pushing her up. She ran at full speed to the light. It grew closer until she could feel the sunlight heating her skin.

Something hit her full force in the middle of the back and there was only one thing she could do. She screamed as her body fell toward the earth.

Marley continued to scream as she began to wake.

Zachary pulled the Escalade off to the side of the road, causing them to skid across the gravel to a stop. Air wouldn’t catch as she gasped. Her lungs burned from not getting enough oxygen.

One look at her surroundings made her gulp in the biggest breath she had ever taken. Trees, they were everywhere, surrounding them.

The need to escape caused her to panic, but she couldn’t get out of the car. The wolves hid out there somewhere in the trees.

Automatically, her fingers hit the lock button while she frantically searched through the gaps in the trees.

“Marley, talk to me. What happened? You have to tell me if you want my help. Did you have a bad dream?”

Tears clouded her eyes. “Zachary, it was more than a dream, it felt so real. I had this dream the night I saw the attacks on the news. The black wolf, he’s going to kill me. You have to drive, they’re in the trees! They’re always chasing me through the forest.”

Zachary stared at her for a few seconds before he started driving.

His eyes looked into the rearview mirror at Jordan and then Cole.

They both sat there quietly, neither of them saying a word. Something wasn’t right. Marley could feel the uneasiness settle in the confined space. They seemed to know something they weren’t telling her.

“Marley, everything is going to be all right. Are you hungry? Do you need to stop?”

Marley didn’t want to stop anywhere. Not so close to the woods.

Where in the hell were they anyway?

“We’re in North Carolina. You’ve been asleep for a while,”

Zachary answered her.

Marley’s eyes darted to the clock.
No fucking way
, she thought.

How had she been asleep for more than seven hours? And how in the hell did they get over here so fast? One look at the speedometer and she nearly had a heart attack. Zachary had already pushed the car over one hundred miles an hour. Well, that explained the good timing.

Watching the road quickly disappear beneath them, with as low as they were seated made her nervous. She cleared her head of her thoughts, glad they approached a city. Looking around, she turned to the back where Jordan stared at her.

Lust filled his eyes. She didn’t have to be a genius to figure out what ran through his mind. Her pussy started to grow wet at the intensity in which he wanted her. Well, she had been looking for a distraction.

“Cole, would you mind trading me places for a little bit?” Marley asked. Zachary looked over at her with a little smile. “That is all right, isn’t it?” she asked him.

If things happened between Jordan and her, she didn’t want Zachary freaking out. She wanted to make sure he didn’t mind.

“You can do whatever you want, Marley. Like I said, you’re mine.

Nothing and no one can change that. Jordan understands that, too.

Have fun. I’ll be watching.” He winked at her.

Marley kissed Zachary softly on the cheek and crawled in the back, trading places with Cole. Nervously, her eyes went to Jordan who seemed to be slightly shaking. From nervousness or pure lust itself, she hadn’t a clue.

“Jordan, tell me what you want,” she whispered.

His eyes seem to lighten from their chocolate brown to a lighter shade while he stared at her.

Suddenly, his shaky hands reached out and wrapped around her face, pulling her to his lips. Unlike Cole’s kiss, he wasn’t gentle at all.

His lips were urgent, ravishing hers until she positively knew they would be bruised. It didn’t scare her. It just made it clear how much he wanted her. That turned Marley on, making her pussy grow even wetter.

Her hands gently lifted to Jordan’s cheeks. He pulled his face back to look at her.

“Slow down, Jordan, we have plenty of time,” Marley said, trying to calm him.

His next kiss applied less pressure against her swollen lips. She could feel her shirt being pulled over her head and she let him undress her. Trying not to let it bother her, she ignored the fact that they were now in downtown traffic somewhere in North Carolina. If anyone happened to look into the car head-on, they would have a view of her whole body completely naked. Quickly, she thanked God the tinted windows kept them invisible from the side’s view. Jordan took off his clothes and wrapped his large hands around her waist, pulling her down to the seat so she could lie down. He did the first thing that they all seemed to do. He buried his tongue inside of her pussy, moaning at her taste.

Jordan’s tongue moved so much deeper than what she was used to feeling. The roughness coated her insides, taking her in as much as he could. Her eyes rolled back while he applied pressure to her clit with his thumb in pulsing motions. Wherever he had gained his experience Marley didn’t care, she seized the piece of heaven he offered.

Jordan brought himself up to look at Marley’s face. Her scent emanated as strong as he knew it would. The pure shock that she had so willingly come to him told him everything he needed to know.

“Marley, I thought I would die if I didn’t get to taste you. Damn, you taste better than anyone I’ve ever been with before.”

Jordan replaced his tongue with two fingers that he pushed deep inside of her. He watched as she arched her back, moaning as he applied pressure to the same spot Cole pushed the previous night. Her orgasm burst from her body in spasms while he pushed up against her with just the right amount of pressure.

The closest thing Jordan could use to describe the effects of Marley’s taste was drunk. That’s exactly how he felt as he took in her release, drunk with the increasing power.

Jordan closed his eyes at the full magnitude of her release.

Unconsciously, he stripped off his clothes, giving his cock a quick stroke.

* * * *

Marley’s eyes felt heavy from her orgasm, but she shifted her gaze to the mirror to look at Zachary who stared at both of them wearily. She wasn’t sure what exactly he attempted to figure out. Did he want her to stop?

Jordan’s tongue trailed up her stomach, and he stopped briefly to place a kiss softly there before moving between her ribs. Zachary’s eyes narrowed even more, but it became hard to focus on anything when Jordan’s wet tongue circled around her nipple.

Pleasure forced her eyes to close all the way, pushing away any thoughts Zachary might be having. She wasn’t sure if it might be jealousy or something she didn’t understand altogether. Lord only knew what went through werewolves’ minds. Something told her that if he wanted her to stop, he would say so.

Large hands pulled her up to straddle him. Marley hovered as he slid on a condom Cole threw at him. She noticed he didn’t seem to like that too much, but he put it on anyway.

In a slow motion, she slid his cock inside of her, letting it ease its way in inch by inch. She worked her way down his impressive length.

His arms crushed her to his body while he used his muscles to lift her. Marley’s body slid against Jordan’s hardness, causing her nipple to run against his lips with his thrusts. Jordan looked up and smiled at her. Taken aback, she smiled, not sure exactly what he smiled at.

Marley thought maybe he was just happy he finally received what he longed for.

“Marley, do you know how long I’ve waited to have you? You tasted just like I knew you would.”

Marley placed her hands on the ceiling of the SUV using them to push her farther down on him so she could take his entire length into her. He smiled again wickedly and gripped her hips, rotating them in a circle.

A loud moan came out of Marley’s mouth, and she threw her head back, resting it in the front beside Zachary’s face.

Her lips connected with Zachary’s while Jordan pounded into her.

She assumed Cole held the wheel, but at that moment she didn’t care.

With a scream into Zachary’s mouth she came again. The softness of his lips disappeared as she felt herself being pulled down to the seat.

The abruptness caused her mind to pause.

Jordan built up inside of her, she could feel him swelling. What Marley hadn’t expected was the bite that she felt puncturing her skin right above her breast just as he came. A cry escaped her lips as he lifted up to give her an evil smile.
