Lust Of The Alpha Phoenix Mountain Series Book 7
Chapter 30

“Lainey…What is it?” I scan her face. I almost feel scared. I don’t know what she has to tell me, but from the look on her face it’s serious.

“I think it’s better if I show you.” She says.

I give a nervous smile. “Lainey, you’re scaring me.”

She looks at me. “There’s nothing to be scared of. Trust me.”

My face falls and I nod.

The blue moon is now past its peak and still casting its deep blue glow around the trees.

The vampire war roared through the night as we sit in the trees. The desert air carried the strong scent of shifter and vampire blood.

I know we should rush out there and fight, but right now, I feel like this is just as important as the battle being fought a distance away.

She looks directly into my eyes. “I need you to really listen, ok. Listen hard.”

“Ok.” I tick my mouth up quick.

In a second, she flashes her fangs and sinks them into my shoulder.

I let out a huffed growl and cringe my face. It was painful at first, but then it was like a wave of calm washed over me. My eyes open wide as my arms wrap around her hard.

She not drinking, she doing something else.

My mind fills with pulsing red and I hear a heart beat. Lainey has a heart beat? What?

I listen to it. The rhythmic thumping was addictive. It’s beautiful. I could listen to it forever.

As I soak in the thumping of her amazing heart, something rises in the background.

‘Listen hard, Hunter.’ Lainey’s voice echoes in my head like she’s actually there.

My brows stitch together as I tilt my head. I feel like my mind is travelling through her body. Slowly exploring her insides as I'm drawn to the sound.

I feel my blood drip down my back. Her teeth releasing her venom into me.

Lainey’s heartbeat fades into silence. I close my eyes and listen harder. My mind travels deeper. It’s searching.

There…It’s soft…Small…A distance away, but close at the same time.

A little harder. A little closer.

There you are.

A smile creeps on my face as I listen to the sound. It was angelic. So tiny. The most beautiful sound I could possibly hear other than Lainey voice.

It was fast and strong. It was there. Right there. Living inside her.

A tear rolls down my cheek as I soak it in.

The tiny heartbeat filled my mind and heart. To be this close was a damn privilege. I thought I didn’t have anymore love to give. I was so wrong.

She pulled her teeth out and looked at me.

“Really?” I hitch as I lean to her. I swallow and smile.

“Yes.” She chokes. She strokes my neck. She seems happy, but still nervous about how I will react.

I look down and place my hand on her stomach. I look back up into her eyes. I feel like a child myself who just discover something amazing. “We made that?” I whisper.

“Yes, we did.” She smiles. “And he’s beautiful.” She tilts her head to me as I gently wipe her tears.

“He?” I ask.

“Yes. His name is Adam.” She looks into my eyes.

“How?”

She taps her temple. “He’s part of the hive.”

I lean to her. “He can do that?”

She puts her forehead on mine. “And so much more.”

I look at her and look down at her stomach. I touch it again. My heart is racing. My self doubt fills me, but I feel like Adam wouldn’t have shown himself to me if he didn’t trust me.

“Say something.” She whispers.

My eyes flick to hers and I suck on a breath. “I love you so much. I love Adam so much. I love you both so fucking much.” I slam my lips on hers and wrap my arms around her. She cries as her arms wrap around my neck. The amount of love and happiness I’m pouring into this kiss, is exponential.

As fist her hair, the mate bond increases ten fold. Snapping back and forth between us like it’s being fired from canons.

My hand feels her soft skin. “Can I make you mine?” I whisper on her lips.

“Yes.” She whispers back.

I kiss her deep and pull her to me.

The drive to mark her is making not want to waste any time. I devour her neck, chest and ear. Eventually, to drown her in my kiss again.

Right here, on the forest path, I line up my stone erection to her entrance that’s already dripping with arousal.

I push her down on it and my mind is blown. The mate bond is incredible. Everything is intense. Our heat. The electric warmth crawling under my skin. The feel of her angelic body on mine.

“Yes, Hunt…” She leans back.

“You’re so beautiful…” I pant.

I hold her up as I get up on my knees and thrust into her deep and slow.

“Yes!…Like that!” She moans loud as she holds onto my neck.

“Lainey, you feel amazing…” I growl.

I thrust a little harder.

Her legs wrap around my waist and I pull her to me.

I lean back on my calves.

I roll and lay her down on the path. Her gorgeous body on full display as I sit up and take control.

I push her legs up and my strokes increase. I kiss her chest and neck. I replace her lips and cover them with mine as I go deeper.

I let her breath and she arches back.

“Yesss! Hunter!! God….yesss!” She screams.

I feel her pussy clamp and I go faster.

“Yes, Lainey…Make me come with you…” I grit.

Her hips start to buck and she screams more.

Her body starts to shake. I feel her pussy get tighter and I pull her up.

I push her ass down as I thrust up. Her long black hair bouncing behind her head.

“Hunt…I’m….Don’t stop!” She moans loud. Her nails digging in my back.

I slam her harder and I feel it.

The changes are coming fast. My eyes glow blue and I pull her closer “My everything forever.” I move her hair and sink my canines into her shoulder.

“YESSS!”

Her pussy gushes and I feel her tense and shake. I keep pumping as my venom enters her system. I growl and hold in as she tries to ride me faster.

Once I’m sure my mark is set, I withdraw my canines. I lick the blood off.

She rolls her head back. I kiss her neck as I thrust to get my orgasm back up. It’s not long at all.

“I’m your everything, baby.” I whisper as my climax crests.

She lifts her head and her eyes are glowing gold. She opens her mouth to wolf canines and sinks them into my shoulder.

“Oh my God!...” I grit as I my release explodes into her. My mind flashes with stars and my body burns. The flood of feelings from sealing the bond makes my orgasm that much more euphoric.

She hangs on and let’s out a little purr. I pant and struggle to breath. I feel her venom enter me making me hers.

Nobody can take it. Nobody can tarnish it. Nobody can break it.

We are everything to each other and everything to my boy in her stomach.

Her mark is my promise that they will always be the two most important people on the planet. I will die for both of them.

Once I’m done, Lainey pulls out her canines and licks her mark.

She pulls her head back and I put my forehead on hers. I gently touch her mark. “I vow to give my very soul to both of you. No one will ever get in the way of that.”

She touches my mark. “I vow to protect you and Adam and love you both with everything that I am.”

I reach down and place my hand on her stomach. “My son.” I whisper.

“Your son.” She smiles.

I cup her cheek. “My Luna forever.”

She leans to my lips. “My Alpha forever.”

I bruise her lips and kiss her within an inch of her life.

“Hunt?”

I turn around and Ash is standing on the path.

“Ash…” I breath.

He scowls and walks away.

I turn back. “I have to take care of this.”

“Ok.”

I kiss her and get up. “Ash wait!”

I run down the path, out of the forest and into the desert sand.

The deep blue light did nothing to hide his anger as he walked away from me.

The battle was pretty much done, with a few clean up crews chasing down some vamps.

Ash was stomping down the side of the forest.

“Ash…wait!” I stand and flop my hand to my side.

He turns. “You happy now?! We were out here dying while you were getting your rocks off with a vamp! HELPING THEM KILL US ALL!!”

I tick my jaw. “ENOUGH!” My growl boomed into the night.

I glare at him as I close the gap between us by a few feet.

“I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT!” I spit my words as I yell.

My eyes flare as he leans to me. “YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW, BUT YOU DON’T GIVE A SHIT, DO YOU?”

My fists ball and I throw a finger at him. “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU FUCKING SAW! YOU DON’T KNOW THAT LAINEY AND I WILL END THE WORLD! YOU DON’T FUCKING KNOW!!”

“SHE’S A FUCKING VAMP, HUNTER!!” He steps closer. His anger rolling off him in waves.

I shake my head. “SHE’S NOT A VAMP! SHE'S LAINEY! SHE'S MINE! MY MATE!” I point to my mark. “IF YOU THINK THAT I...THAT I COULD END THE WORLD…THEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM! IF YOU’VE BEEN BLIND THIS LAST YEAR ABOUT LAINEY, THAT’S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM. FATE GAVE HER TO ME! DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD REALLY DO THAT TO ME?”

My body shakes and my chin almost quivers as I look at my friend across from me.

“LAINEY AND I ARE MATES! IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT THEN TOO FUCKING BAD! BUT YOU KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH OFF ME, LAINEY AND MY KID!” I fumed and my face was a thousand shades of red.

I heard Lainey come out of the woods.

He stood there with his hands on his hips. He looked out to the fading blue desert as the blue moons color starts fade.

“I have people in my corner, Ash, but I want you too. I hate that you think this. I swear to you, I swear on my sons life. This isn’t what you saw. It’s not what you think. I’m in love with a vampire. That’s all this is, Ash. That’s all this is.” I whisper my last sentence as I kick at the sand.

Ash’s eyes looked between us. “Kid?” He rolls his eye to me.

I wipe my nose, look around and chuckle. “Yeah. I just found out.”

“Mates.” He grumbles.

“Yes. My Luna, Ash. The only one made for me. She’s my life, Ash. Who I was born for. I…love her…I love them…They’re not evil, Ash. Please don’t think my boy is evil. Please. Cause he’s not.” My face pained as I shook my head. “I want you be here for me. Don’t think my family is evil. There’s too much of that already.”

He rubbed his neck. He walked up to me.

Chewing his cheek he looked to Lainey then back at me.

He grabbed my head and pulled me into a hug. His strong arms held me tight and I hugged him back as I fought my emotions.

Even though we really didn’t know each other, it hurt that he wasn’t in my corner. I had all the other Alphas, but for some reason, if I didn’t get Ash’s acceptance, I felt alone.

“Congrats man. I’m sorry.” He slapped my back and I slapped his.

I push him back and wiped my nose. “Lain.” I held out my arm. She walked under it and I dropped it around her neck. She wiped her eyes.

Ash grabbed her and hugged her. “I’m sorry. I’m a dick.” He hugged her tight.

“It’s OK. It’s not easy.” She whispers.

He pulls back. “So a mini you.” He smiles.

I nod. “Yep.”

“Does this mean he’s a triple threat?” He smirks and motions his finger between us.

“Uh…I guess so. Shifter/Lycan/Vamp? Look out world.” I grin at Lainey.

“Does he have a name?” Ash asks.

“Adam.” Lainey supplies.

He pulls on his beard. “Adam. I like it.” He nods.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t out here, man. Lainey was dying, the mate bond snapped…” I shake my head.

“It’s fine.” He scratches his head. “Gia got away, as well as a good chunk of her army, but I don’t think she’ll make another move anytime soon.”

He slings an arm my shoulder. “Come on. Let’s go celebrate that boy.” He hits my chest and I chuckle. I grab Lainey’s hand and we walked back to the transport trucks.

It’s a small victory, but if I can win Ash over, I’m sure the rest of society should be a cake walk.

Lainey is too special. I think people see that when they see her. Hear her speak. Will we be free from backlash? No, but if I help her become strong. If I teach Adam to be the best damn Alpha he can be, we all already have a great start.
