2024-10-29 19:42:56The next few hours were largely a blur as I thanked the servant profusely for her time, got changed and ran to Bram’s suite. Azalea was already at the doorway.
“Can you see what is coming?”
“I have tried, it is clouded to me, I can only see up to the ceremony and then confusion.” Her eyes seemed glassy with emotion as she stared at me.
“So I get to the ball at least” rolling my eyes, “I don’t know what to do”
“You can’t change the eventual outcome, you only change the mode of getting there ma’am” and she placed a hand on my arm in consolation. I had to try and see the vision as something to help me rather than scare me. I added

Caleb toyed with his glass of whisky and stared into the roaring fire of the drawing room; this was pointless wasting time on Bram and Romanov with small talk about the local area and their journey over. He knew Alle wanted him to focus on the necessities, to gauge whether White Forest knew of their intentions and network with the other Alpha’s, but he was hopelessly fixated. Through the darkened privacy window of the jeep he had seen her emerge through the arched stone entrance. That brown hair bounced and moved through the wind, her figure was as lithe and desirable as he remembered causing a growl to emerge from deep within. She was clearly enjoying her Luna status, entertaining the Alpha Romanov with her wit as they all arrived like a merry family through the arch.He noticed Bram gripping her hand tightly and his he

The group moved through to the royal dining room, where those previously tense conferences with Alpha Romanov had taken place a new dynamic was thriving. Lively happy conversation, filled with talk of romance, love, future pups was the result of the Luna’s arrival into the gathering. Silver platters laid out, chandeliers sparkling and huge platters to feast upon added to the merriment. It was almost possible to forget that White Forest and Five Lakes were on the very cusp of war. Excitement for the ceremony dominated conversation and the wine flowed merrily down the length of the large wooden table. Whilst Bram, Dexter and Jack happily drank away the evening Helena, Brandon and Caleb were more measured, eyeing the situation around them with caution.Helena sat between Bram and Alpha Romanov, remaining at the head of his table.

The morning sun had begun rising when I awoke with a start. Bram had followed me to bed much later in the evening, silently getting in without a word, his huge muscular back facing all I could see. The anger I felt towards everyone after the dinner was still ripely seething. Getting up silently, wrapping a long robe around my tank top and shorts I padded down the corridor in search of solitude. I headed back to the drawing room where I had finally felt Alexander's presence. I don't know what I hoped for but re-entering the room and sitting on one of the large leather couches I only felt the cold of dawn. That stunning wave of emotion that had washed over me when I stepped into the room had vanished. Adoration, attraction, and a tingling, head to toe wave of sensuality had raced up and down my body causing to stop in my tracks last night. He must have been so close last night so why was he n

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Bram hissed at me, I found myself crouched on the floor in a ball, my hands over my eyes as I came back to the surface of the present. "Get up right now!” he yelled, forgetting we were only behind a door to a crowd of twelve Alpha couples and dozens more White Forest Beta’s. My mind raced trying to work out what I had seen, Fyre raced around my mind desperately - we have only seen one half of the scene, we need Bella! “I said get up!” he screamed again, this time banging his hand against the door itself creating a deafening thud. “What is going on he

Waiting for the happy couple’s entrance into the ballroom Alexander felt sick to his stomach. Dressed in black with his cloak swirled around his huge shoulders he was a darkly, brooding figure in the shadows. His black hair tumbled messily down the side of his face, rumpled from a night of poor, tossing sleep. Hydra had convinced him it was worth showing up today but looking across the ballroom of happy faces and celebration he felt like a naïve fool. His feeble offering of love couldn’t possibly compete with the prestige of being a Luna over a pack of this size. Hydra continued to dismiss his negative thoughts and tried to remain focused on Caleb and Jack, they circled the room like sharks, seemingly appraising the value of the castle like potential new owners. However his heart was trained on the wooden door, waiting desperately for a view of her once more, any sound and his eyes were div

Fiery sparks rained down on the huge wolves now dominating the ballroom as they circled around the quivering Bram. Alpha Romanov stared blankly as he realised Bram no longer had a wolf, he cursed himself for not realising sooner and with a last look of sorrow realised he was about to witness his son get murdered. Bram hadn’t been ignoring his mind-link attempts, he was no longer capable of receiving them due to his own greed and avarice. Caleb and Jack lunged with sickening ferocity and there was no stopping the bone crunching, blood-spewing viciousness that ensued as Bram’s wails were swiftly cut short. Helena screamed as she scooted further and further back into the ballroom floor, trying to avoid the blood spattering towards her. She tried shifting herself, but the dress was simply too tightly structured to allow her wolfs ribcage to expand and rip through and she had to reluctantly rema

The heat of the ballroom was almost overwhelming upon reentering. As the omega’s ran alongside me with buckets of water and hoses to finally start dousing the flames I looked around for Alexander. My heart raced at the idea he was wounded or even killed, and I ran through the smoky, crumbling room trying to spot him. Suddenly the raging smoke changed to a damp and heavy air as droplets misted across the room as the hoses came into effect. Across the room I saw a black figure under a rafter and ran as fast as I could to the far end of the ballroom, piercing my feet on various broken bits of wood and decoration.I saw to my surprise that I had run straight to a black cloak that had been placed over the body of Bram. I stood, stunned, and disappointed and ran my hands through my hair, the mist making my curls fall limp and dress cling to me with damp. My face was streaked with smoky ash an

It was a good thing I had Ivan’s help to check Bella’s room for the diaries as I was very little use to him. I kept flushing red, losing my concentration, and not hearing Ivan talk to me as Alexander’s energy threatened to make me rip my clothes off where I stood. The heat was almost unbearable and though I tried to send back my own ideas and thoughts of what I would be doing to him it was no match for the ferocity of his emotion. I shut myself in the bathroom and offered to search in there whilst Ivan tutted and said, “I cannot wait until I’m matched-up if I can do that to a woman when I’m not even in the room!” which made me shriek “Ivan!” I could hear him chuckling away to himself as he opened every book in the bookshelf, checking for any kind of handwriting. “I think he’s a good one though. You two will be happy, I think. I never thought that with Bram but assumed there was a bigger reason behind

Finally the orchestra started up. Myself and Alexander were surrounded by a crowd of similarly interest people, all waiting to see if a match would be made tonight. Azalea took the hands of her first partner and I saw a little flicker of emotion cross her face. They gently twirled and I saw her duck her head down shyly at the compliment she was receiving. She danced delicately and lightly, her feet barely seeming to touch the ground as the pace of the dance increased to its full drama. Suddenly they swapped and she was in the arms of Drake, her partner from earlier. He looked disappointed, as well he might for Azalea was a shining star in that room tonight. My eyes darted over to Ivan and he was dancing very politely with a tall brunette, but no match. His face was flushed red and his eyes were sparkling wildly, I don’t think I had ever seen him this e

Helena POV After quickly smartening myself up in the bathroom I rejoined Alexander in the corridor. Although I'd fixed up my hair and smoothed out my dress there was no way to hide the happy glow on my face. Alexander was the same, the stern look he'd made a constant feature had finally melted. His forehead was softer and more gentle. He was still the most masculine being I'd ever encountered but he was finally allowing himself to be happy. Holding my hand lightly we stepped back into the ballroom everything seemed lighter and brighter. Moonlight beamed through the uncovered windows, the opportunity for mating was approaching. A few more dances remained before the dance of connection. Before us the swell of couples twirling around us was delightful. The colours of the women's dresses, the music, the merry clinking of

Blinding lights hit me once more, in front of me a drunk, angry and unrecognisable Alexander staggered into view. He seemed to be on a cobbled streetl, the bright lights of a packed tavern displayed behind.He was dishevelled and bearded, dressed all in black as I had first known him. His air was so different to the man I knew, depressed, angry and broken as he fell to the floor in a drunken sloppy mess. Noises broke into my awareness, three men surrounded Alexander and taunted him. They recognised him and mocked him with shouts of murderer, scum and pushed him to the ground. My heart ached at the torment as they started kicking his ribs and head. After what felt like forever he suddenly lashed out wildly, shifting into his massive black wolf form and attacked the three men. Guttural screams ripped across the vision in waves maki

He looked immaculate in his crisp white shirt and dark trousers and he strode confidently through the crowd. His hair was still a shaggy wild mid length, slight stubble and those dark eyes were constantly trained on me. I felt him look me up and down admiring my dress and I gave him a smile. "Alpha Alexander" Ivan nodded with respect. Alexander kissed me on the cheek softly and then graciously offered his hand in greeting to Ivan. "Ivan good evening, thank you for making sure Helena didn't miss out on the dancing in my absence" he said kindly. "Of course, it is a privilege to dance with Luna Helena" Ivan replied. I was so proud of him not being the jealous ape some mates were with their partners. He offered me his arm and with another nod to Ivan we moved to another bit of the dancefloor "ask Azalea to dance!" I mouthed as we separated and he gave me a shy grin back. Finally back in Ale

The past few weeks have been a blur. Once more I find myself stood behind that huge wooden door leading into the ballroom. But it's for a whole new Full Moon Ball. Beside me are Kyra and Azalea and I know out in the other half of the room is Alexander. Whilst we wait for the bugle call I allow my mind to wander, reflecting on the past few weeks. After the night we were mated we had to leave for a week to accompany Alpha Brandon and Luna Holly to Five Lakes to help oversee the transfer of members to the pack. Five Lakes was thankfully not resistant to being taken over by Dawning Star. The appetite for war was not strong like the previous generation. Caleb and Jack had tried to create a fierce, loyal army by force, missing the crucial element of respect and loyalty. Through my suggestion Beta Dawes was made the highest Beta o

I woke up in the middle of the night entwined with Alexander. Under the blankets our naked bodies lay together, and I couldn't help smiling and clasping him closer to me, his big arm was draped over my shoulder, trailing over my chest, his hand resting on my stomach. I had no idea what time it was but I had to get to the bathroom, I gently peeled myself out of his hold trying not to wake him. Easing myself out of the huge four poster bed as I walked towards the bathroom door I saw my heels and dress discarded on the floor. Flashbacks to earlier in the evening made me blush. I'd let Fyre take over and she'd given me the the confidence to be sensual, tease and flirt with Alexander as I'd only dared to dream of before. In the bright lights of the bathroom mirror as I freshened up I couldn't believe how I'd begged him to take m

She was an absolute torture. Just seeing her across the dancefloor talking to anyone else made my soul ache. She was so enticing, glowing in that purple dress, the necklace I'd picked made it clear how much she belonged as a Luna. Those loose brown curls highlighting her frame and shaping her face. She was a queen amongst slaves and every person in the room gave her the respect she deserved. Finally I could take no more, seeing her stood next to my father we locked eyes and hers flashed gold driving Hydra skywards. I'd done a couple of hours at this party surely there was no more. We definitely needed to skip the dance of connection for my jealousy would not endure her being grasped and twirled by all those other men. Her plump lips expanded into a smile and I wondered if she could tell what I was thinking. My cock had ached pain

The rest of the ball seemed to pass by in a blur, after greeting Alpha Romanov again I met Alpha Brandon and the lovely Luna Holly again. A group of Alpha’s from further regions approached Alexander and Alpha Brandon and he gently released me from him arm and asked if I cared to catch up with my friends. I gave him a grateful nod and sought out Ivan, Kyra and Calvin. Ivan and Calvin looked smart in their white shirts but Kyra was stunning in her pink tulle ballgown. “I had a feeling this was going to a big night so I went for the biggest dress I have!” “You really did!” as we clinked our champagne flutes together and smiled. Kyra swept me up in a warm hug, “how is Alexander then, how long have you known him? You two were just too sweet on that dancefloor. You could see him trying not to smile but he didn’t fool me!” she chattered

“We need to go” he sighed, tucking a stray curl behind my ear. I did the same to him, running my hand through his hair felt so natural, like we’d been together for years and we shared a small smile. We walked down the corridor together, alone apart from a few servants scurrying as everyone else had already attended the bugle call and gathered downstairs. My hand was wrapped around his arm and I felt like I could probably float at this point I was that happy. I gave him arm a gentle squeeze and felt proud at being on his arm. Looking up at his face as we neared the gathered crowds I felt him tense and his jaw set back to firm. “Three years away hasn’t made you any less of a prince or a gentleman you know.” "Hmmm" was his only response. We reached the original ballroom entrance, just a few steps away from the gathered crowd and Alpha Romanov. We could hear his speech midway through, annou
