Howling Hearts
I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous.
I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.

Chapter: Lineage *bonus chapter/last chapter*18 years later:We danced away under the moonlight after getting away from all the drama, tears and hormones that seemed to flood the pack hall.It was mating ball season again and honestly it was overwhelming each year.So Lucian and I had our own little tradition to escape all the chaos and just enjoy ourselves under the moonlight dancing away all the worries that might have crowded up leading to this massive event. This year had been more stressful than all the years before since we were hosting the mate ball.It was allot of planning and a lot of irritating young she wolves that wanted to convince me about being my sons mate and if not that they would make the perfect Luna for the pack.That they would be the best option. But what had worried me most was the fear of my son experiencing the same thing I experienced the day I thought I met my mate“As per usual the two live birds have sneaked away from the party” I heard Riley’s voice in from behind me. “You’d thought that the hos

Chapter: Perfect− I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn’t know much else.“This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that’s you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him.” She said in a whisper.She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek. “I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible. And you turned out to be a great and strong young Luna.When you lay on your death bed of this life I will come fetch you and your mate to take up your place as the rulers of mount Olympus until Xander breathes his last breath. Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm” She said in a caring tone before kis

Chapter: BabyDays have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his

Chapter: Initiation“What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that

Chapter: StayIt’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea

Chapter: My FamilyScarlet:“Scarlet” I heard my mom’s voice call out to me I lifted my head from my knees and scanned the waters that laid just below my toes. I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w

Chapter: Sober upSometime in the night, exhaustion had finally won. I had cried myself into a restless sleep, only to wake up feeling just as drained, just as hollow as before.The ache in my chest hadn’t faded. The weight of last night still pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe, hard to think.I sank lower into the bath, hoping the warm water would do something—anything—to cleanse me of everything that had happened. To soak away my guilt. To wash away my betrayal.To drown the war raging inside me.Maybe if I stayed in here long enough, I would step out as someone new. Someone who deserved to be queen.Because today wasn’t just any day.Today, I had to stand before the entire kingdom and make my promise. My vow to be their Luna, their queen.But how could I swear my loyalty to an entire kingdom when I couldn’t even control my own heart?I let out a long sigh, closing my eyes for just a moment before finally forcing myself to stand.An omega was already waiting for me when I stepped back into

Chapter: Kisses and Punches.I knew I was no match for Andrew. His family had that stupid strength ability. The one that made them nearly invincible in battle. It gave them an advantage over any other alpha, and right now.I was experiencing that disadvantage firsthand.His grip around my throat was tight, but not suffocating. He was giving me a chance. A small, razor-thin chance to explain myself before he crushed my windpipe."Woah, woah, woah," I rasped. "I thought it was innocent until proven guilty?"The second the words left my mouth, I could see his expression shift. It wasn’t what he expected me to say. His grip loosened ever so slightly, and his brows pulled together in confusion."So, you deny kissing your queen?" His voice was sharp."MY mate," he snarled.I let out a slow breath, rubbing my throat once he finally let go."I never said that," I admitted, sitting up slightly. "But I didn’t do it as some sort of power play against you. I didn’t do it to dethrone you. Whether you want to know this or

Chapter: Fury and Dominance"I can't," I whispered, my voice barely escaping my lips.Andrew’s fist slammed down onto the bedside table with such force that the entire thing shattered beneath his strength.The loud crack echoed through the room, a perfect reflection of the breaking pieces inside me."Did you even try?" he asked, his voice struggling to remain gentle even when his entire being trembled with frustration.I squeezed my eyes shut. I wished I had an answer that wouldn’t tear him apart. But I didn’t."I did," I admitted. "But… part of me couldn’t even bring myself to say the words."Silence.The kind of silence that stretches too long. The kind that stripped the air of all oxygen.When I finally looked at him, his eyes were filled with pain and betrayal."Do you even want to reject him?"His question slammed into me, hitting a part of my soul I hadn’t even realized existed.Just the thought alone was too painful to entertain.The idea of forcing Jeremiah away, of severing whatever bond existed betwe

Chapter: Reject him..."I'm so sorry, Andrew. I didn't mean to," I whispered. My voice broke under the immense weight of my guilt.I could feel his body go rigid beneath me, his muscles turning to stone.Slowly, hesitantly, I lifted my gaze, my tear-streaked face tilting up toward his.His eyes were locked on mine. Searching for answers to the million questions filling his mind.He cupped my cheeks. Protective and possessive yet there was a slight warmth mixed in."What happened?" he asked again, his voice deep and controlled.Tears kept falling. I couldn't stop them now even if I wanted to."I… I… went f-for a… w-walk in the… f-forest," I stuttered, barely able to get the words out.Andrew just listened, waiting patiently."J-Jeremiah was t-there," I continued, and his entire body tensed.His hands twitched against my skin. His fingers gripped slightly tighter, almost like he was ready to crush something...or someone.His jaw clenched.His aura shifted."I swear, if he hurt you…" His voice was more of a gr

Chapter: After effects“I’ve got to go,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I stood up.I needed to get out of here. I needed space to breathe. Space to think.But before I could take a single step, Jeremiah’s hand wrapped around my wrist.The movement was swift and it threw me off balance.My feet stumbled causing me to fall right into his chest.My breath hitched as his arms instinctively wrapped around me, steadying me against his warmth. His scent wrapped around me like a cocoon, seeping into my skin. Tempting me even further. putting me in a haze.I tilted my head up, meeting his gaze.His eyes locked onto mine, swirling with something unspoken.Maybe Awe.Maybe Longing.Maybe Love.In a split second.His lips crashed into mine.It was not a hesitant kiss. It was not unsure.It was the kind of kiss that spoke of lifetimes.Of familiarity.Of .... I missed you.And for a moment, I let myself melt into it.I let myself drown in the way his lips molded to mine, how perfectly they fit together, lik

Chapter: Limitations and Cost'sI stared at him, completely taken aback by his words.He thinks I’m his mate?A sharp jolt of shock shot through me, followed almost immediately by confusion.That wasn’t possible.Was it?I let out a small, breathless laugh, nudging his shoulder lightly. “Funny joke, Alpha Jeremiah.”But he didn’t laugh.His eyes didn’t waver, his lips didn’t curl into that usual cocky smirk.Instead, he looked dead serious.His deep brown eyes locked onto mine, burning with something I couldn’t quite place.Something… certain.“It’s not a joke, Alina,” he murmured, his voice low and smooth.And the way my name rolled off his tongue...Goddess help me.I swallowed, shaking my head. “I’m sure I would’ve felt it if you were.”Wouldn’t I?That’s how the mate bond worked.The pull. The connection. The raw, undeniable force that tied two souls together.But Jeremiah didn’t back down.Instead, his hand reached up, his fingers brushing against the strands of my hair, lifting them gently to expose my mark.H

Chapter: A Luna's Path“I won’t be coming back to Silvermoon,” I said as we walked through the beautiful pack gardens.Xander, however, didn’t stop or even flinch at my words.“I expected it. Asher can’t be Alpha while living in a different pack. The Alpha family as a whole is very important, and even you have your own duties that you have to attend to here.It would make Asher look weak if you came back to Silver moon. But luckily for us that’s only until the mate ball,” he said.I stopped walking.He turned around to look at me.I wasn’t sure if I was ready to take my place beside Xander. I wasn’t sure if I could handle the watchful eyes of the pack. Their judgment, their expectations. I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to stand in the spotlight just yet.Xander grabbed my hand, holding it tightly between his.“I was hoping we could come out as destined mates there. It would work. It would make sense,” he said, trying to convince me.I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure if I wanted that.But the smile on

Chapter: Funerals and expectationsThe following day, the funeral was held at dusk. As per tradition. The setting sun cast the land in hues of gold and crimson, making long shadows over the gathered mourners.The air was thick with the scent of burning sage and damp earth, the two combining into something that felt both grounding yet suffocating simultaneously.I stood at the edge of the clearing, my fingers clenched tightly around the small coin in my palm. It was cool to the touch; the metal pressing sharply into my skin as if trying to anchor me to the moment.My heart felt heavy, weighed down by grief so deep it threatened to crush me from the inside out. I hadn’t wanted to come. I hadn’t wanted to stand before his lifeless body and accept that he was really gone.But this was his final request. One I couldn’t ignore or pass over to someone else. No matter how much it tore me apart.The entire pack was here, dressed in black, their faces etched with sadness as they stood in respectful silence.Wolves from allied pa

Chapter: Calvin Clair“Are you sure that is all he said? You didn’t miss anything?” Xander asked, his voice laced with extreme worry. Each word carried the weight of something more, something unspoken.I had told him every word the vampire had said to me—except the part where he promised we would see each other again. I wasn’t even sure why I kept that part to myself. It just felt to ominous to share right now.“Yes, Xander. Like I said, he pretty much said nothing.” I shrugged, but deep down, my heart was still racing from the encounter.We walked in silence for a while, only the sound of the leaves and twigs crunching under our feet filling the void between us.The forest that once felt like home had now become unfamiliar as the wind rushed through the leaves reminding me gramps was gone.I could see the way Xander’s jaw tightened making it clear that his mind was working overtime. Something was gnawing at him and I needed to know what it was.“Why are you so worried?” I asked, glancing at him from the c

Chapter: The EncounterWhen Asher entered the room, his face was full of sorrow.“We will be staying here from now on. This is your house now.”When he said that, it felt like I had been punched in the chest. It was as if the air in the room had all been sucked out.“What? You just decided this on my behalf?” I said in a small voice, my voice full of pain and anger. My voice cracking under the pressure.Riley’s eyes looked sad, but there was something else there too, something that looked like guilt.“It’s for the best, Dawn. You will learn to understand that with time. Asher has to take his position as the Alpha and we have to support him as Luna and alpha heir.”“But what about me?” I cried, my voice coming out in a high pitch. I felt like I was going to suffocate from the tension in my chest.“I don’t want to leave my pack! I want to be there! I can’t be here while Gramps is rotting in the ground, or even after that. Gramps created this place and I don’t want to be in it without him here! And he’s never

Chapter: TitlesThe days that followed blurred together into one never ending grief filled day. I stayed in my room, unable to face the pack without his presesnse lingering here somewhere. The world outside felt cold, foreign. Almost like a cruel joke that kept moving forward while I stood frozen in place. How could I walk through the packhouse, knowing he wouldn’t be there? Every step outside my door felt like a betrayal, like I was supposed to move on when I wasn’t ready.My mother and Asher handled everything—the funeral, the responsibilities left behind—but I couldn’t be part of it. I couldn’t sit in the mourning room beside his body. My mother, my grandmother, my father… they all wept, their grief filling the house like an unshakable fog. But I couldn’t. I wasn’t ready to see him like that—lifeless, cold. My grandfather had always been strong and wise, and seeing him reduced to this fragile, unmoving form would shatter me into a killion diffrent pieces.His will had one final request for me. One

Chapter: GrampsXander walked me home. We laughed and flirted the entire way home. I hated that the night had to end. I wished it could last an eternity without these moments turning to memories. I could live within them forever.“I still can’t believe I lost it,” I said as we got closer to my house.He stopped walking and a devilish handsome smirk spread across his face. He pulled my undies from his pocket and swung them in front of my face.“you mean these” embarrassment engulfed me, watching them sway in Xander’s hands in the open public. My cheeks turned a fiery red, and I tried to rip them out of his grip, which quickly let me know wasn’t going to happen.“Please, just put them away before someone sees it.” I begged, and that handsome chuckle escaped his lips, making me go wet all over again. I watched my favourite pair of undies slip into his pocket as his eyes never left me.“You can have them back next time,” he said with a big smirk on his face as he winked at me.
