Tempted By You, Radiant Light [list of e readers TXT] 📗

Gabriel whispered to them.

"Megara, how did you get this?" He asked me as he traced my birthmark slowly making my eyes close as a spark of electricity flowed through me making me shudder.

I swallowed before I opened my eyes and stared into Liam's golden eyes, "I was born with it."

"Megara, we're the guards of the All Seeing Eye. She's a very special woman. She sees all and knows all." Liam whispered still tracing my birthmark. I couldn't look away from him as his eyes shifted to his hand, "You're her."

I jerked back and into the window again making it rattle this time with the force of my weight, "What?" I nearly yelled at the top of my lungs.

Gabriel nodded, "We swore our allegiance to her a long time ago. The first thing she ever told us was to always be prepared for her death for we would always out live her. That we would always fail in keeping her safe until she was reborn into the body of a woman named Megara." He said the last hesitantly probably thinking I would freak out and he was right. The first thing I did was shove Liam back with more strength than I thought I had. He went flying back into Gabriel and Grant.

Without even thinking I took off at a dead run towards the door only to have Skye grab hold of my hand. 'How could I have forgotten about him?' "We know it's a lot to take in Megara but it's the truth. You know it's the truth. The dreams..." He said and trailed away when he saw the shocked look on my face.

"H-how did you know about the dreams?" I asked him. I couldn't help the panic that continued to course through me. No one knew of the dreams I'd had over the last couple of years. They had haunted me when I was awake. Making the abuse ten times worse for me.

"Haunting memories aren't they?" Liam said softly as he walked over and pulled me away from Skye, 'Don't touch her.' I jerked back as those words drifted into my head. I knew they belonged to Liam but I shouldn't have been able to hear them. They hadn't been directed to me but to Skye.

"Memories?" I whispered in disbelief. Those dreams couldn't be memories. There was too...too much blood for it to be real.

"Yes of our past battles." Grant said softly looking over at me with a soft smile on his face as if reminiscing, "The things we did in those days." He sighed wistfully. I was horrified, how could he even think of those moments?

"Shut up Grant." Liam growled at him as he looked down at me, seeing the horrified expression on my face, "Are you okay?" He whispered stroking a finger down my cheek.

I nodded even though I really wasn't all that okay. I cringed, had they been lying when they told me that Skye had found me? Now that I really looked at him he didn't look big enough to be the one who saved me, but Liam, he was big enough. Deep inside I could feel it. It had been Liam who saved me, I looked up into his eyes and whispered, "You saved me not Skye." I said and without letting him try to deny it I asked, "How did you find me?"

He looked at me with a sheepish grin on his face, "I followed you. I lost you when you stumbled into the alley. That's the only reason you got caught by the Cleaner."

"Cleaner?" I asked not really wanting to know but needing to know what exactly he was.

"Yea, he thinks it's fun to feed the rabid wolves he keeps with younger wolves." Grant said with a disgusted look on his face, "We killed him while Liam got you of the room."

I sighed as I looked them over again, "What do I do with you guys?" I asked them. They were all staring at me as if I was the answer to their prayers. Liam though stared at me like I was his, "And why do you stare at me like that?" I asked him as his golden eyes continued to stare into mines.

Liam actually blushed before looking away, "We need to take you to the temple." He said not even bothering to answer my last question.

I frowned at him. I had really wanted an answer, "Ok... So do you guys know why he stares at me like that?" I asked looking over at Grant, Skye and Gabriel.

Skye smiled and opened his mouth to answer me when suddenly Liam was in front of him, "Don't you dare tell her why." He growled in Skyes face.

Skye continued smiling as he leaned to the side and looked at me, "He's your mate." As soon as the words were out of his mouth he was shoved backwards. He hit the wall and landed on the floor. Where he'd hit the wall was a huge indentation of his body.

I barely glanced at Skye though. All I could do was stare at Liam. 'He's our mate Megara.' My wolf said. I backed away as Liam turned to stare at me. His eyes molten with lust.

I was not about to have a mating ritual in a room full of guys. I didn't want to have a mating ritual at all for that matter. I turned and ran down the long hallway. There were doors everywhere. I didn't make it very far into the hallway when I glanced behind me and there stood Liam. My eyes widened and I opened the door to my right, running in, I closed the door and locked it. 'That's not going to stop him Megara.' My wolf whispered as the door started to buckle.

I started to panic. I didn't want to mate. Not with anyone. 'Stop punishing yourself. Someone wants to love you. Why can't you just accept it?' My wolf growled making me freeze in the middle of the room, 'She was right. I was punishing myself.' Suddenly the door burst open and Liam walked in slamming the door closed behind him.
Chapter 2

I stared into Liams eyes and took a deep breath as I took a step back. Liam just stood there staring at me. Before I knew it he was standing in front of me. I nearly screamed but something made me stop and watch what he would do. He leaned closer and traced a fingertip down my cheek. I shuddered at the sensations he caused. I could literally see the electricity as he laid a hand on my waist before he trailed his hand up my body as he pulled me closer. I looked up at him as his lips lowered to mine.

I drowned in his kiss. Wrapping my arms around him I couldn't help the moan that slipped out as our lips parted. He lifted me into his arms, my hands slipped up to his shoulders as he carried me to the bed. I bounced once before he was there holding me down as his lips crashed into mine making me moan and arch towards him. His hands roamed my body and as they dipped and curved my eyes opened and I caught our shadows moving at a much more different pace than us. My shadow was completely wrapped around his and when her hand scratched down his shoulder four long red welts appeared on his shoulder and he groaned softly before burying his face in my neck and licking there.

I turned my head to the side as his lips trailed down my neck and across my shoulder. I could barely breathe as one of my legs moved and wrapped around his waist pulling him closer. Liam growled as he grabbed the hem of my t-shirt and pulled it up and over my head. He looked down at me before cupping my breasts in his hands before leaning down and tracing the lace edge of my bra. I moaned and pulled him closer. He chuckled against me before his lips trailed down my stomach and unbuttoned my jeans. Sliding them off he trailed his hand up my thigh.

I reached for him and cupped his face in my hands as I pulled him back up to my lips. I don't know what came over me but one second our lips were meshed together in a soul searching kiss the next I was nuzzling his shoulder before I opened my mouth and bit him. He growled low in his throat as he held me to him. I released him with a moan as he sank his own teeth into my shoulder. The next thing I knew I was lying underneath Liams naked body on top of my own.

"You're mine, Megara." He whispered against my lips as he sank into me. I moaned as I arched into him. In that moment I knew nothing in the world would ever compare to Liam.

*****

I jerked awake as I felt someones arm wrapped around my waist. When I looked over I sighed in relief. It was only Liam. For a moment I had thought I was back in the confines of the pack leaders tent. Lying back down next to Liam I tried to relax. 'He will never force you to do anything.' My wolf whispered sleepily. I took a deep breath and turned in Liams arms so I was facing him. I smiled to myself as I stroked a hand down his cheek. Whoever would of thought I would be lying in the arms of my mate? Certainly not me.

Liams eyes opened and he stared at me for a long minute before he smiled and leaned forward. Pressing a kiss to my lips I sighed and wrapped my arms around him, "Hey." He whispered as he pushed my hair out of my face.

"Hey." I whispered back a bit more nervous with him awake than I was when he was asleep. I could feel myself blush as I ducked my head and tried to slip out of the bed to go to the bathroom

Liam grabbed my hand before I could stand, "You're not going anywhere." He said with a grin and pulled me closer to the bed.

I sighed and looked over at him, "Unless you want me to pee all over the bed I suggest you let go." I said and laughed when he let go of my arm. I leaned over and gave him a kiss as I grabbed the blankets and whipped them off of him. I wrapped them around myself, walked out of the room and started down the hall opening all the doors until I found the bathroom.

A couple minutes later I walked out of the bathroom and found Skye standing there, "Sorry, I didn't know you were waiting to use the bathroom."

Skye laughed, "Just wanted to know if you were hungry." He said and leaned against the wall.

"Yeah I am." I said hesitantly making him frown at me.

"Megara, why is it that my pack hasn't met you? I mean our packs do lots of things together and we've never seen you." He said looking down at me with a frown.

My eyes widened and I looked away, "It's embarrassing." I whispered and to me a
