“Zoey? Why are you scared talking about the
Sentinels?”

Zoey stopped and dropped her hands. “I’m not scared
but they make me nervous. When they are around you can feel their energy and it
does do something to you. I can’t explain it, but you don’t want them around
long. You can feel their power and it’s a lot stronger than ours is. They give
off some type of energy, and hell I don’t know, but they make me nervous.
That’s all. Hey let’s go and start the program.”

London decided to let the conversation drop for now
but she was very interested in the Sentinels. They got up from the bed and went
into the kitchen to get their laptops out.

 

Chapter 30

 

London was hard at work when Ryder found her in the
kitchen at two in the morning. “Are you okay?” she asked softly.

“Yeah.  She knew before I came in the door,” he
whispered.

“Who?”

“June, Kenny’s new mate. She’s devastated. She said
she felt something snap, and then she couldn’t feel him anymore. After his first
mate and child died in the car crash, her sister came to the funeral. Kenny had
never met her because she traveled a lot, but they both felt the connection
right away. It took two years before he would accept her. If we hadn’t got him into
treatment he wouldn’t have.” Ryder’s voice caught in his throat, “I’ve got to
catch these fuckers.” He pounded his fist on the table, leaning forward with
his head down. London got up and hugged him from behind, kissing his back as
she snuggled closer.

“They had a pup. Now he’ll never know his father
London. Never get to learn how to…”

His words drifted off, leaving all of the various
things that Kenny’s son would never learn from his father, unsaid. London
tightened her arms around his waist. “Yes he will, because he’ll have you and
the pack to get him through it. You and the pack will be there every step of
his life. You’re his family too.”

“You feel good.” Ryder turned around pulling London
to his chest. Grabbing the back of her hair, he tugged her head back, so he
could look into her face.

“You will be there to help too,” Ryder’s said
seriously. He was nervous. With everything that had happened he was scared that
she’d changed her mind about him.

Staring into his eyes, she asked, “Is that what you
want? I need to know now if you mean that. I’m falling in lo—”

Ryder interrupted her when he took her mouth
franticly. “You're mine. Tell me to stop, or I’m making you mine. Tell me to
stop or...” Ryder didn’t say anything else, and when she didn’t say the words,
he picked her up and took her to his bedroom.

Softly, he laid her on the mattress. His wolf was
suddenly very close to the surface in anticipation of claiming their mate. He
knew the moment he saw her picture that London was his mate. How he ever
thought he could stay away from her was crazy. He could see her love for him
glowing in her eyes. It was hard for him to believe that she was going to be
his.

“Take your pants off…slowly.”

London smiled but obeyed his command. She unbuttoned
her pants and then started taking them off. Her eyes never left his as she
pushed them to the floor.

“Take off your shirt and bra.” London got up and
leaned back on her knees as she slowly took off her shirt and bra. He couldn’t
stop the growl that zoomed out of his mouth. The moon was half full as the
light glistened through the window onto her skin. Ryder continued to growl. His
wolf was pushing him hard to claim their mate. He ripped his shirt open as
buttons flew across the floor. He kicked his shoes off then jerked his pants
down. His cock was hard as a rock and stood erect as he got on the bed.

“I can’t go slow, baby.” Ryder was hanging on by a
thread. He needed to claim her, make London his forever. The fear he felt was
making him hurry.  Her body was hot to the touch as he moved his palm up her
legs. He could see the moisture glistening on her lips as he spread her legs
apart.  Leaning forward he inhaled her sweet scent. “This is mine. Say it,
London!”  Ryder’s voice was stern as he waited for London to respond.

“Yours. All yours.” London moaned when his mouth
licked her up and down. He couldn’t get enough of her as he continued to lick
and suck her harder.

* * * *

London’s head fell back on the mattress. She had
never heard the sounds coming out of her mouth before. Ryder was everything she
wanted in a man. Yeah, he was gorgeous but he had something other men didn’t. She
never thought she would be attracted to someone quite so animalistic. Every
time he looked at her she felt like prey. Even the first time they met as she
lay on the bathroom floor. She could see the wolf in his eyes.

He was also aggravating and demanding. All these traits
bundled up into one man. This was her mate. No one could ever compare to him or
ever touch what she felt for him. Ryder belonged to her now and she would kill
anyone who tried to take him away. It didn’t hurt that her desire for him was
killing her as he relentlessly teased her little bud. The orgasm raced through
her body so fast she didn’t have time to cover her mouth when she screamed out.
She had only a few one night stands to compare it to, but Ryder made her see
stars and shiver until she felt it from her head to her toes. Mindboggling was
all she could say. Nobody could compare because he was the one she had dreamed
about and waited for.

Zoey and Jamie had to have heard her with their wolf
ears, but she would be embarrassed tomorrow. She was on a role, after all
Ryder’s guards heard them last night. Right now, she wanted it hard and fast.

Suddenly, he was on top of her, his weight pushed
her further into the mattress as he moved in closer, and kissed her. When he
lifted his head, and broke the kiss, she could taste herself on her lips.

“That will never get old, my love.” His voice was husky
as he pressed his forehead against hers. She could see the struggle for control
in his expression, his eyes were wild. His breathing was ragged as he swiftly
leaned up and flipped her over onto her stomach. Pushing her knees up toward
her stomach he plunged inside of her, making her cry out as her body adjusted
to the size of him. He began to move, and she demanded more.

“Oh Ryder…” she gasped as his strokes became harder.

“I know what you need, baby,” Ryder grunted.

Reaching around, he stroked her clit as he pounded
harder into her. The sensations grew stronger, and they kept building. She
loved every minute of his roughness. His thrusts continued to hit that special
spot making her grip the sheets harder.  Holding on tight, she felt every never
in her body tingle, when her body burst into the longest release she ever had.
The thought of someone hearing her wasn’t a care anymore when she screamed out
his name.

Ryder thrust deeper into her, grabbing her hair and
jerking her head back so he could bite into the side of her neck. London
shuddered at his roughness when he surged forward hitting that sweet spot
allowing the orgasm find it sweet release. Ryder didn’t waste any time when she
felt his fangs push through her skin claiming her body.

Their breathing was loud as they both tried to take
in deep breaths. London was about to say something when her body started to
shake. Ryder moved off her, pulling her into his lap as pain gripped her body. The
pain whirled its way through her and her muscles tightened. She remembered
having leg cramps when she was younger as her body grew, but this was a hundred
times worse. Moaning she tried to speak, but her voice disintegrated as another
spasm pushed forward. All she could do now was endure the pain.

Whispering in her ear soothingly, Ryder explained what
was occurring to her body. “It’s my DNA bonding with yours. I knew it would cause
you discomfort, but I didn’t realize it would hurt you this much. I’m sorry
baby. Can I do anything?”

London’s teeth chattered as pain rushed down to her
legs. She didn’t understand all of what he was saying, but slowly, the pain was
lessened. She sucked in a deep breath as her body trembled allowing her to
relax and unfold.

“DNA? What are you talking about?” London sputtered
between breaths.

“When we mate and I bite you, our DNA will bond. It
allows you to live as long as me,” Ryder softly explained. He held her in his
arms stroking her hair. Leaning forward, he placed soft kisses on her face. “I’m
sorry. I should have explained it to you.”

Ryder got up and laid London back onto the bed. Her
legs felt like jelly, but they weren’t cramping anymore. She could see his
concern as he climbed into bed beside her, pulling the blanket over them both.
Her eyes were just starting to close when she was jerked awake by a beeping
sound. Rising up, she watched Ryder run toward the door.

“What is it?” London tried to whisper, but his
actions scared her.

“I don’t know. Do you have an alarm set on your
computer?” Ryder asked as he opened his bedroom door.

“No, I don’t but Zoey’s computer is in there too,
and she may have set one.” London got up and pulled her pants and her shirt on
then walked into the kitchen behind Ryder.

Sure enough, an alarm was beeping on Zoey’s
computer. London wasn’t sure what kind of alarm it was, but Zoey appeared, her
eyes big as saucers as she asked, “Do you see someone?”

“Slow down, Zo,” Ryder chuckled, and London smiled
at his use of her pet name for his little sister.

“Did you see someone?” Zoey asked again. Her face
was ashen as she stroked over the computer keys and the screen lit up. London
leaned down and couldn’t believe what she saw. Two people were walking in the
woods, and both heads were glowing on top.

“Zoey, how did you do that? Where did you get the
cameras?” London babbled as she grabbed a chair to watch. Ryder leaned in
closer to look at the screen.

“Where are those cameras at?” They both looked up at
his harsh tone, taking in his unyielding expression. London could see that he
was definitely in Alpha mode. For a moment, she hoped the two people got away
until she remembered the way Kenny’s body was mutilated.

Glancing back at her screen, Zoey spat out, “Forest,
north camera.”

Jamie entered the room still rubbing his eyes as
Ryder snapped at him. “Let’s go, two at Forrest north.”

“It worked?” Jamie looked stunned.

“Yep. Go get’em.” Zoey said, smiling ear to ear. Jamie
grimaced as he took off behind his Alpha. “Here take this!”

“Jamie came back and grabbed a small black looking
ball out of Zoey’s hand, thrusting it in his ear before running out the door.

“What was that?” London asked intrigued at Zoey’s
new gadgets.

“Listening device. Jamie and I tried it out last
night while you and my brother were…you know.” London’s face turned red but
Zoey laughed. She pulled out a blue tooth and attached it to her ear.

“Okay, let’s see if we can catch a wolf. Jamie they
are headed north toward London’s cabin. One of our wolves is at her cabin
waiting inside.”

“Zoey, I’m shocked. When did you get this stuff?”

“I ordered it the same time I got the dust. It came
in later that day, but I had it delivered here. I wanted Jamie to see it first
since he has a lot of experience with this type of equipment. He has lots of
training from his Seals days. After you two went to bed, Jamie and I put two up
then went to bed. To be honest, I didn’t think they would try anything tonight.
Guess I was wrong.”

London and Zoey watched and waited for the two men
to make their way down to London’s cabin. It was obvious at where they were
going. Out to the side, they could see two wolves hiding.  Zoey pointed at
them. “That’s Ryder and Jamie. Michael is inside your cabin waiting. Jamie put
everyone on alert after you punched Jim Sanders in the nose. It was a great
shot by the way. We knew the Alpha in him wouldn’t let that pass. His pride was
getting the best of him. Plus, you are a human and a woman. I wouldn’t doubt if
one of the wolves creeping in was him.”

 London didn’t say anything. She prayed that nobody got
hurt because of her anger. “Look.” She pointed to the left of the screen as ten
more wolves eased up behind Ryder and Jamie. 

“Looks like the cavalry just showed up,” Zoey
muttered.

London couldn’t stand it as she watched the two wolves
get closer to her cabin. “Jamie, they are almost there,” Zoey whispered. 

They both watched as the two wolves stepped up onto
the porch, and Ryder and Jamie ran up behind them, and the fight was on.

Jumping out of the chair, London yelled, “Let’s go.”

Zoey grabbed her keys off the table as Donnie came
walking into the room before they could run out. “What is all the noise about?”

“Lock the front door when we leave,” Zoey spat out.

“Where are y’all going?” Donnie ran out the door
behind them and jumped in the backseat, just before Zoey drove down the road as
fast as the car could go. The tension was high as they drove to London’s cabin.
Zoey was driving like a racecar driver. Her body was hunched over with both
hands on the wheel. It would have been funny at some other time, but now wasn’t
the time. They needed to get to Ryder and Jamie fast.  Wolves were everywhere
when they pulled up at her cabin.

“Holly shit, what the hell is going on?” Donnie
sputtered as they got out of the car. London didn’t waste any time when she ran
up to the circle of Malone wolves. One of the wolves was dead inside the circle,
and the other two were battling it out on their hind legs. London shuddered at
the sound of razor sharp teeth ripping into flesh.

Immediately, London knew it was Ryder’s wolf
fighting Jim Sanders. Dark magic oozed from the man, and she wanted to help,
but resisted. This was Ryder’s fight.
