Gabriel had my body pinned against the wall but not in a
way I would have imagined. His eyes were blood-red as
he forced me up against the wall with his hips.
“Gabriel baby. Please stop. You’re scaring me.” I cried
out in barely a whisper, turning my head to look away
from him.
Before he could grab my chin to face him, my body was
relieved from being pinned and I could breathe again.
My eyes quickly focused on the commotion happening
only a few feet away.
Matthew had slammed Gabriel against the wall,
breaking a few photo frames in the process as his fist
continuously made contact with Gabriel’s face.
I may not be the smartest woman on the planet, but I
knew better than to step in between a fight between two
Utley men.
Gabriel started hitting back and I could see he had lost
all sense of control. He pushed Matthew off him with full
force, sending him through the backdoor that had been
entirely made of glass. Striding through the shattered
pieces, he pounced onto Matthew and began to beat the
shit out of him.
Before I could even so much blink, my dad and Collin
rushed into the room. It took both men to prey Gabriel
off Matthew.
“Get him to Jesse. Now.” My dad commanded as he
interlocked Gabriel’s wrist behind his back, keeping his
body pinned to the hardwood floor. “Erin, go help Collin
take Matthew to Jesse. I will take care of dumbass here.”
Still in shock from the course of events that had been
happening the past few minutes, I slowly nodded my
head and did as my father asked.
I couldn’t believe Gabriel’s attitude towards me and his
own son. What in the hell would make him so angry to
act that way?!
Collin and I carried Matthew all the way to my uncle’s
private office. We laid him down on the bed in one of the
exam rooms. I cleaned up the humongous gash across
his forehead and stitched it up while Jesse hooked him
up to an IV and oxygen.
My baby sister was going to freak out when she saw
Matthew like this. I could only hope for her sake that he
heals quickly and wasn’t permanently damaged.
“How’s he doing Jesse?” Collin’s voice pulled me back
into reality.
Jesse scribbled on the paper in his clipboard and sighed.
“It’s hard to tell at this point. I have to run some tests.
Has anyone called Addison yet?”
“I’m getting ready to call her now brother.” My dad’s
voice illuminated the room.
I sat down in the small waiting area, still in shock over
the whole Gabriel ordeal. What could have possibly
made my husband so damn angry? Was the Jackson and
Emilia thing bugging him that bad?
“Hey sissy. I heard what happened.” Sammy sat down
beside me. “Maybe Gabriel’s sudden attitude change
wasn’t his fault.”
“What in the hell could have made him so pissed?” I
wondered, looking over at her.
She wrapped her arm around my shoulders. “It’s hard to
say with Gabriel, but we will get it figured out.”

-Eliana Utley
Centuries ago, my husband believed he had lost me to a
horrific fire that struck our kingdom. I wasn’t dead but I
may as well have been.
Amos, Gabriel’s older and powerful brother, kidnapped
me and locked me away in his lair. The two other men
being held captive, John and Drake, helped me come up
with a plan to bust out of here. It took a while, but a few
of us managed to escape Amos’ dungeon. John and
Drake were loyal men; they would be of great use to me
on this journey.
“Are we certain he is here?” I asked them as we crossed
into the city limit where my husband supposedly lived.
John nodded reassuringly. “Of course, my queen.”
I couldn’t help but smirk. “Marvelous. This shall be fun.”
Epilogue
-Addison Utley
My eyes fluttered open and I could immediately sense
that something wasn’t right. The atmosphere had
drastically changed since last night.
Climbing out of bed, I went through my usual morning
routine…showered, dressed, and skipped downstairs. I
was surprised when I didn’t see Matthew in the kitchen
or anywhere in the house for that matter. It wasn’t like
him to just take off without letting me know somehow.
My cell phone rang from our bedroom and I snapped my
fingers, making it vastly appear into my hand. I cocked
my head at the name on the screen. “Dad?”
He spoke so fast I could hardly understand him.
“Dad. Calm down. I’m on my way.” I hung up the phone
and darted out the door.
As much as I loathe phasing into my wolf form, I didn’t
have any other choice since it was the fastest way to get
to my Uncle Jesse’s private clinic.
I growled while my body phased. My mind focused
solely on Matthew as I ran. Dad yelled something about
Matthew and Gabriel getting into a huge fight.
Something of that nature which didn’t surprise me one
bit; the Utley men are constantly fighting and having
pissing wars!
****
Phasing back to human form, I strolled into the clinic
and immediately felt the sadness. I followed Matthew’s
scent while hoping he wasn’t too badly injured.
Everyone in the room…my dad, Erin, Emily, Jesse, and
even Sammy…stared at me with tears welding in their
eyes. I wanted to ask them what was wrong but my
mouth refused to open in order to speak.
“Addison. My future queen, I am so sorry to have failed
you. I’ve repaired him the best I could.” My Uncle Jesse
finally spoke. “We’re not sure if he’s going to make it.”
Stepping aside so I could see what he was talking about.
My Matthew was completely unconscious, lying on the
hospital-like bed. His face was all bruised and there had
been a long stitch across his forehead. The tubes in his
nostrils were hooked up to a machine beside him.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Not even a few
hours ago, he had been snuggling with me in our bed;
telling me how much he loved me. Now he’s in a hospital
bed fighting for his life? Something just wasn’t right
here!
“He and Gabriel got into a huge fight. They wouldn’t let
up off each other. Dad and I tried. I’m so sorry Addie.”
Erin’s voice was almost a whisper when she talked.
My dad ushered everybody out of the room to give me
and Matthew some time alone.
I sat beside my husband’s legs, taking his hands in mine
and gently kissing his fingers. “Matthew, you can’t do
this to me. I won’t allow it. We promised each other
forever and dammit, it’s too early for our forever to be
over…”
My voice began to crack and I had to take a few seconds
to regain my strength. His monitors beeped like they
were supposed to; which was somewhat a relief.
“Baby, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you
for the past few days. But you have to pull through and
come back to me. Please come back to me baby…”
I paused again to catch my breath and allowed the tears
to flow down my cheeks. I didn’t want my fiancé hearing
the sound of a blubbering idiot.
“I promise to be a better woman for you…I’ll cook and
clean more, completely naked if you want. Hell, I will
even wear all of those outfits you make just for me. You
just have to come back to me. Please come back to me.
Don’t leave me baby…”
I stared at his handsome face…well tried to considering
the tears were still flowing out my eyes like a waterfall.
There’s no way in hell our journey was over…right?
Sneak Peak of
Blood Lies,
The Utley
Tribe:
Part II
-Emilia Utley
Six months. That is how long it took for me to reach the
physical age of sixteen. My parents were none too
thrilled about my rapid growth, but it’s out of everyone’s
control when a wolf imprints at such a young age.
Jackson Utley is the sweetest and kindest soul on this
planet. He also happens to be my cousin; which has
caused so much tension between our parents. Our
mothers were on the same page with each other…they
believe that a wolf can’t control who they imprint on;
related or not, it’s inescapable.
Gabriel and my father feel the exact opposite on this
matter. They strongly believe Jackson and I shouldn’t be
together since we are related. I would completely agree if
our family were normal…and human.
My mother
and
my aunt are married to their dad’s, my
grandfather, brothers. Sure they may not be biologically
related, but the men are a hell of a lot older than what
they appear.
I love Jackson with all of my heart and soul. There is
absolutely no way I’m going to let a couple of egotistical
assholes come between us.
“Millie, are you still worried about our dads?” Jackson
asked as he climbed into bed, reeling my nearly naked
body into his.
I shrugged while staring at his neck, taunting me to
press my lips on it. Whenever I would start kissing
Jack’s neck, he would flash that killer smile I loved so
much. He’d mumble something about where my kissing
would lead, place my hand on his growing bulge, and
ended up caving in to make love to me after a few
minutes of rubbing him.
His hand felt up my thigh, stopping to absorb the heat
coming from my sex. He trailed his fingertips over my
gender and grinned. “Oh wow baby. Crotch-less panties.
Somebody was anticipating some sex.” Crawling on top
of me after pulling off his boxers; sliding his erection
into my very wet and anxious vagina.
I moaned out in pure pleasure as he began to thrust.
Making love to Jackson was the absolute best thing ever.
He liked to start off slow until our bodies became
adapted to each other and once they did…HOLY SHIT!
Jackson loved to be sweet and sensual, but damn was he
even more amazing rough and wild. I had never felt
anything so intense when he’d fuck me so hard
practically all night long that I could hardly move the
next morning.
We haven’t been sleeping with each other for very long.
He was the shy and quiet type. I had to be the one to
decide when we would do it.
“Emilia! Marry me!” He moaned loudly as he released
himself into me.
I stared into his eyes after shattering with him. “Did you
just propose?”
He stopped and carefully pulled out. “I believe I did.”
Laying down next to me under the covers, pulling my
body closer to his. “Do you want to marry me?”
“Well, I think the answer is obvious.” I kissed his bare
chest after rolling myself on top of him.
I could already feel his erection press against my still
wet sex.
Ahh yes…another all-nighter!
****
The next morning, I loathed the thought of going to my
parents’ house and bumping into my dad. I didn’t have
any choice in the matter since I had to gather the rest of
my belongings from the guest house.
I quickly opened the door to the miniature house and
dashed into the bedroom. “Oh damn! I’m so sorry.”
Turning around to face the door I had just shut not even
a second ago.
From what I saw of the man underneath the sheet, he
was completely naked and hadn’t been awake very
long…his morning wood easily gave that away.
I felt completely mortified barging in on this guy. My
parents could have at least warned me about the boarder
in the guest house!
“It’s alright. I’m decent now.” A masculine voice
sounded from behind me.
Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath and released it.
I turned back around to face him. My jaw nearly hit the
hardwood floor as my eyeballs absorbed every bit of his
masculinity from the waistline up.
His abdomen was perfectly trimmed. The man had a V
line directing onlookers straight to his dick. It should be
illegal for a guy to be this damn gorgeous!
“Sorry for barging in on you like that. I didn’t know
