A Twist of Luck (Shifter City Fated Mates, #2)

by Jaymin Eve

This is dedicated to those who enjoy a buffet of alpha personalities. The Hunter The Lumbersnack The Cinnamon Roll The Stalker Eat up.

“We are going to get out of here. I will not let him hurt you.”

“Calm,” he murmured, in his low, slightly accented rumble. “Calm yourself, Emmeline. You are not alone. I will not let them harm you.”

I had very little experience with hugs, but I was starting to learn that when they came from my alphas, they were one of the nicest moments of my life. Surrounded by warmth and energy, comforted and content. Especially with Slade, who was coldly aloof most of the time.

“Your wolf’s fur is the whitest I’ve ever seen,” he explained, as he finally glanced my way, his expression neutral. His eyes burned though. “It reminds me of the purity of snow, and your arctic blue eyes only add to the vibe.”

“Every alpha in your pack has their way of keeping track of you, Emmeline,” he said nonchalantly. “Mine is just more thorough.”

“General magic doesn’t work on me the same as it does other shifters,” Slade murmured. “But if they have strong enough spells at their disposal, they will be able to hold me until they get to you. It won’t hold me forever though, so don’t give up. No matter what happens, I will come for you.”

“Whatever you need, Snow.”

Emmeline Anders was all color and grayscale, spontaneity and beauty.

We will die together, and I’ll accept nothing less.”

My breaths huffed in and out as I took in his massive cock and heavy balls, hanging over the top of my head. What in the weapon of mass destruction was happening here?

“I’ve waited a lifetime for you, Emmeline,” he whispered close to my ear. “And if I’ve learned anything since you came into my life, it’s that if you’re not alive then I’m not alive. I refuse to do this shit without you. I can’t do this without you. That’s just how it is now and forever.”

Hunter’s mocha goodness had me desperate for a hit of caffeine; Slade’s toasted marshmallow had me dreaming of nights under the stars; Kellan’s cinnamon and caramel were scents I associated with home and love; and Finley’s vanilla cherry was the least familiar but no less potent.

I’m adoring her. I’m fucking obsessed with her, and I’ll never stop showing her. She’d have to kill me first, and if that’s her choice, I still stand by my obsession.”

“I’ve got you, baby girl,” he whispered. “Fall apart. Fall all the fucking way apart and trust me to hold the pieces. Until I put you back together.”

Well, fuck a shifter.

“Remember what I said, little omega,” he drawled, his dark gaze locked on me in a way that suggested he would very much like to chase as I ran. “No touching yourself in the shower. Your pretty pussy belongs to me. I will be the one to bring you pleasure.”

Kellan isn’t here to point it out,” the dragon shifter added, “let me be the first to remind you that Snow belongs to all of us. Even her…” His gaze grew heated as it dragged slowly from the top of my head to my toes. “…pretty pussy.”

Finley still needed a few high fives. To the face. With a chair.

“Little omega,” he murmured, his chest shaking. “I fucking knew it would be like this. I knew you would wreck me from the depths of my soul.”

He was so strong that I didn’t have to do a thing other than let myself be handled, and fuck me dead, he knew how to handle his mate.

“Next thing you know, you’ll have me tattooed on your body like Hunter.”

“How do you know you’re not already marked on my skin?”

Don’t smile. Don’t encourage his psycho side. Why was it so adorable though?

“As I keep saying,” Hunter added as he sprawled back deeper in his chair, long legs smashing into the row in front of us, “our pack dynamics will all work out the way they’re supposed to, in the time they’re supposed to. This isn’t a sprint… it’s a journey. And we all started at a different place.”

A relaxed Hunter was an extra sexy Hunter, which didn’t bode well for me. He was dressed casually in a teal Henley and jeans, and I wanted to climb all over him like he was an adults-only jungle gym.

I understand why you came to the conclusion you did. Our path to this point hasn’t been smooth, and you’ve lived most of your life feeling like a burden in your own home. But I need you to understand, Emme, that I would choose you in every situation. In every life. The goddess knew exactly what she was doing bringing you into my life. You’re my perfect match and the other half to my soul.”

“Even a king should kneel before his queen. You will never accept anything less, from anyone, including those in our pack. Promise me.”
