Ryder's POV

For a werewolf, especially higher class werewolves like Commanders, Betas and Alphas, the need for training is in our blood. We yearn for it, desire it, we need it! It's who we are. We are fighting machines, and have the urge to spar, train harder, fight, and fight some more…

It was weird to be on the training field again. Before Angelica's death, I returned to the pack at least once a week for training. After her death, I stopped going altogether.

After training, I was exhausted, but I welcomed it. It took my mind off of her. From the moment my head hit the pillow last night, she was all I could think of. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her long dark hair and smooth skin covered in tattoos. It was frustrating. I didn't want to think of her, or anyone else but Angelica, but this mysterious woman consumed my thoughts.

When I went to sleep, it was no better; in fact, it was worse. When I went to sleep, she was there. Her sultry voice lured me in.

It felt so real; she t

    Third Person's POV His mouth opens, and his head moves fast, catching the grape thrown his way. Ollie falls back against the ground as he exhales. His mouth moves as he chews the grape while looking at the sky.“Do you think we'll find our mate soon?” Ollie asked.“I don't know, but I'm going to vomit if we share the same mate like some twins do,” Leo said as he tossed another grape toward his brother's face, and Ollie opened his mouth and caught it. The very thought of finding their mate, only to discover they share one, which flips a switch, making his brother also his mate, is a disturbing thought. Leo looks at his brother and gags, trying not to vomit at the thought of being intimate with him. Ollie chewed the grape and swallowed it.“Well, that only happens with identical twins,” Ollie said, and Leo stopped chewing and stared at his brother. “You do realize WE are identical twins?!” Leo asked, or more like stated, as he moved his finger back and forth, pointing between them.

    Third Person's POV Ryder sat outside on the patio with his laptop, trying to finalize his daughter's birthday party planning. When she came bouncing out of the back door, he closed the laptop and smiled. Her red hair bounced, and her smile was like sunshine. Time seemed to pause for a moment as he realized how much she looked like her mother. She was so soft, good, and pure, just like her mother. “Hi, my little angel,” Ryder said as he opened his arms and welcomed her in. “Hi, Daddy,” Azalea said as she wrapped her arms around her father's neck. “Here you go, my little lady,” Ryder said as he handed her a basket of birthday invites. She's been begging her father to let her pass them out herself. She thought it would be fun to walk around and pass out her invites. A personal touch! She thought, smiling as she took the invites and kissed his cheek. “Thank you, Daddy! I'm going to pass these out now!” she said excitedly, and he chuckled. “I figured you would want to. Have fun, sweet

    Ryder’s POV I chuckled and shook my head as I watched my daughter bounce off to pass out her invitations. I open my laptop but pause when I feel someone pushing against the link. “Hey, there's someone at the front gate for you. The guard at the gate is new to this position, and he doesn't know your link since you're also new,” Tate said through the link.“Okay, thank you,” I said as I closed my laptop.I turned and looked around before spotting a Delta 1 I trusted. After handing him my laptop, I headed toward the front gate. I was confused the whole way there. Who could possibly be visiting me and not have access to enter the pack? This could only mean that they are not members of the Midnight Moon Pack or any pack affiliated with them. It can't be family, I'm an orphan, and my only friends reside between these three packs. Who in the hell could it be? I wondered as I slowed to a jog and began walking before exiting the tree line. When I did, the gate and guard house came into vie

The desire to see her is so strong that it's driving me crazy.I feel my phone vibrate, and I pull it out to find a message from a familiar number. My heart beat faster, and my thumb quickly moved to open the message.“Hey, Wolfie!” Her message starts, and my lips tug up at her nickname for me. I could hear her voice as I read the message. “I know things are complicated for you, but they don't need to be as complicated as you say. Come see me Friday night at the bar. I don't work this Friday, but I'll be up there hanging out. I hope to see you there.” I sat down, closed my eyes, and breathed out as I rested my forehead against the edge of the phone. I pulled the phone back, and my fingers began moving as I typed my reply. “I'm sorry! I don't think this is a good idea. I think it's best if you forget about me. You're a beautiful l

    Third Person's POV Vanessa exhales as her back hits the bed. Her hands rest above her head as she stares at the ceiling. She doesn't like the feelings she has at the moment. Why did his words hurt? She wondered. Why did the way he grabbed her hurt the way it did? It's not like it hurt her. She's a vampire, an old and strong one. He would have to do much more than a firm grip to hurt her. “Aero,” She whispered, and after a few moments, his dark mist swirled on the bed next to her before he appeared. The elder appeared, laying on the bed beside her, and he turned to face her, popping his head on his hand. “Mmm, not a look I'm used to seeing on you,” Aero said when he saw the sad look on his friend's face. “Yeah, and I'm not used to feeling it! You know, I got that stupid job at the human bar because I was bored and needed entertainment. For the past 3 years, I have gotten my fill of entertainment from that place! Everything was perfect until HE showed up!” Vanessa said, and the Eld

There's only one thing missing—one person who means the world to Ryder and Azalea: Angelica. It's been just a little over two years, and it still hurts like hell that she's not here. He wishes more than anything that when he scanned the party, his eyes would land on her beautiful face. He wishes he could see her smile, hear her laughter, look into her beautiful eyes, and smell her beautiful scent. He wished he could feel the warmth of her skin and the tingles dancing under his fingertips when he touched her. He wished he could feel her light; it was so strong. He could feel it from across the yard when she was in her garden, and he was cutting wood. He wonders if she's up there looking down on him and their daughter. He hopes she is at the very least, watching their daughter grow. He hears his daughter's laughter, blinks hi

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 19 Shade

    Third Person's POV Shade was furious that Maverick walked away from her. He wanted his pretty little angel, and he wanted her now! He banged against the walls as hard as he could, and the Alpha's body trembled, and his steps faltered. Maverick stumbled, almost falling as Shade pushed forward harder than he ever had. The Alpha grabbed his head and grunted at the extreme pressure building inside. He dropped to his knees, and a moment later, with his eyes closed, he let go of his head, raised his face to the sky, and exhaled slowly. He could hear her feed rapidly approaching and her voice calling out, asking what was wrong. A smile spread across his face, and when his eyes opened, they were blood red. “Maverick! What's wrong?” his little angel asked as she stopped in front of him where he was on his knees and grabbed his face. She gasped when she looked into his eyes. They were different, much different. Her breath caught in her throat when he reached up, gently gripped her waist, an

    Maverick's POVMy other half has been so depressed that I thought letting him out would cheer him up. We slipped out of the territory easily and found a small cave. He was eager to come out and stretch his limbs. As soon as he did, he dropped to the ground inside the cave and refused to get up. Now, here I am, stuck in Shade’s true form, lying on the floor inside a cave. This lovesick beast refuses to give me back control. He lies here, sighing periodically, filling the cave with smoke.“Shade, you have to give me back control. We have to get back before they find out we're missing.” I begged again, but just like last time, he ignored me.Time ticked by. Every now and then, the smoke intensified when his longing for her became stronger. His red eyes burned red like the flames of hell, and the heat in the cave was intense. Our ability to block out their sound was fractured by his heartbreak, and their voices seeped through, filling the cave with dark voices and whispers from the darkn

    Third Person's POV Thaddeus chose their spot, a snuggle chair in the second row. He lifted the blanket and opened his arms when his Omega approached. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled, even in the darkness. Aiden crawled into his Alpha's lap and snuggled in against his chest. Thaddeus' fingers press against the underside of his chin and tilt Aiden's head back. The Omega's heart skips when their eyes meet. “Hi, sweetheart,” Thaddeus said, and Aiden melted. “Hi,” He whispered, and his eyes fluttered closed when Thaddeus captured his lips.Thaddeus groaned when he tasted his mate's kiss. His strong tongue wrapped around the Omega's, twisting and twirling, caressing Aiden's tongue and leaving him breathless…Vanessa looked away when they kissed. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. All this love and sappiness wasn't something she was used to. She wondered if it was the mate bond that made them so sappy and lovey-dovey.

    Kyle's POV I'm a nervous wreck as I walk to his room. My palms are sweating and my heart is racing. I know I'm early, but it's better to be early than late. I stop in front of his door and am suddenly more nervous than ever. My stomach twists in knots as I try to find the strength to raise my hand and knock on the door. When I finally did, I nearly had a heart attack when the door opened before my hand touched it. “Oh, hey! What are you doing here?” He asked, and my stomach dropped. Did I hear him wrong earlier? Maybe he forgot, or changed his mind. I felt stupid and wanted to disappear.“Oh, I-I thought you were going to the movies with me?” I said, stepping back and ready to walk away. “I am! What I meant was I was getting ready to come get you. Now I don't get to impress you by picking you up,” he said as he stepped into the hall and pulled the door closed. I felt a rush of excitement and my heart beat faster. He wanted to impress me! “So, where's this theater at?” Kevin asked

    Kyle's POV I'm surprised I was able to focus with Kevin around. It was only when I had to look at him that I became a fumbling mess. It also didn't help in the least bit when he spoke. His voice was so smooth and just the right tone. It wasn't soft, but it wasn't deep, it was perfect! It sent a shiver down my spine each time his voice broke the silence. I wondered if anyone else could see how much his voice affected me; I hope they couldn't. “Kyle, I hate to do this, but I really have to go,” my assistant Carla said, turning away from the slides and stretching. “Any other time, I'd stay until you kick me out, but my terrified mate is finally starting to warm up to me. I promised him a special evening tonight. I'm going all out for dinner. I'm making prime rib. He's never had anything like that before. I don't want to go back on my word. You know how hard that is for abused Omegas. Our word is everything until they fully trust us,” Carla said, reminding me of her newly rescued mate,

    Third Person's POV “Has anyone ever told you you smell weird?” The annoying thing in the seat behind Maverick asked. The Omega in the seat behind Maverick hasn't stopped talking since the moment they pulled away from the pack house. He began to regret begging to go with Coal. What made it worse was Coal saw his regret and misery. The little shit was smirking every time he looked at him. “Has anyone ever told you you're annoying?” “All the time!” Noah said happily, a smile beaming on his face as though he had just given him a compliment. Maverick groaned and glanced in the backseat at the other Omega. “So, you're some kind of plant expert, huh?” Maverick said, hoping to shut the other one up. Kyle smiled as he turned his head away from the window and looked at Maverick. “Yes, I guess you can say that. I'm a botner!” “Are we taking you there so you can check out their garden?” “Yes. I asked them to collect samples from all of their crops. I'm also going to take samples from the

    Third Person's POV “I don't know, what if it doesn't work? It's going to make it worse. You'll hurt him even more,” Asher said as he dragged his hand down his face and began pacing. “If it fails, I'll take full responsibility, but I don't think it will. I know he's in there. I just know it!” Michael said, pulling Asher to a stop, kissing the side of his face, and then pushing him toward the trees. “Make sure he doesn't see you,” Michael said before turning to face the warrior with Alpha blood. He looked more nervous than Asher. “I, I don't know about this. I-I, what if he doesn't stop?” “Calm down! Don't worry about him, I will. You just focus on your job, and that's hurting me as much as you can,” Michael said, and the Alpha swallowed thickly.The warrior looked into the woods and prayed Asher would keep his word. He looked forward, looked at Michael, and swallowed before quickly moving forward and landing a solid punch to Michael's face. ~Noah held the little girl in his arms,

    Third Person's POV The Omega didn't sleep in his tent like they had planned, but he did sleep in his Alpha Bear's arms. Truthfully, as fun as the idea of sleeping in the tent was, there was no other place he'd rather sleep than in the arms of his Alpha.The morning sun rays shined into the room, reaching onto the bed and warming the Omega's exposed skin. He feels the warmth of his Alpha's body, which he's curled up tightly to. Ollie’s head rests on his chest, his right leg draped over EJ, and the Alpha's strong arms are wrapped around him.He feels the warmth of the sun on his back, and it slowly wakes him. The Omega lifts his head and looks down at his Alpha's sleeping face. His heart flutters as he looks down at him. He's so handsome. His chest is so muscular. The peaks of his chest are massive, and the ripples of his stomach are present even as he sleeps. His facial hair is just long enough to run his fingers through. He loves how it's longer on his chin and shorter as it rises up

    Third Person's POV Both Omegas lie in their tent with their heads hanging out so they can look up at the sky. Their arms are hooked together as they talk.The twins spent the entire day together, starting just before breakfast. They did everything from breakfast to a run through the forest in their beautiful brown bears, which are much smaller than their fathers and mates, to lunch in town at their favorite diner before visiting their friends. At first, Ollie was quiet and timid, but the longer they were together, the more the Omega relaxed. The more he relaxed, the more the old Ollie emerged. Getting the smaller Omega to begin pulling pranks didn't take much convincing. The Omegas giggled as Ivy chased them out of the pack house, where they stumbled over each other and rolled in the grass in a fit of laughter.Somewhere along the lines, Ollie began to find himself again. What happened in that room didn't leave him, but it no longer consumed his every thought, it no longer defined h

    Third Person's POV EJ leaned his head back in the shower and sighed as the hot water rained down on his aching muscles. Anders kicked his ass on the training field this morning before helping him move all of his stuff to Ollie's pack. EJ didn't realize how much crap he had accumulated over the years, it was way more than he realized. He lost count of how many times he went up and down those stupid stairs, and not just at River Pack, but at his new one, too. It wouldn't have been so bad if Anders didn't wipe the field with body beforehand, not to mention the chunk his stupid bear almost took out of his ass when he tried to walk away from him. The stupid jerk laughed at him every time he saw him wince.Steam poured out of the shower as EJ stepped out, wrapping a towel around his waist and then grabbing a second towel to dry his hair. EJ rubs his hand on the mirror so he can see. He looks down and sees a box filled with Ollie's stuff that he hasn't unpacked yet. The Alpha smiles and op

    Third Person's POV The Omega sits in the window as meditation music plays behind him. The sun warms his pale skin that is only covered in a large oversized white t-shirt and black shorts. His bare feet are tucked under one of the cushions and pressed against the cool wood below it. His arms are wrapped tightly around his legs, and his cheek rests against his knees. He stares outside, watching people go in and out of the woods. He can tell which ones have recently shifted; their hair is a mess, and they're either wearing shorts or sweatpants. Every now and then, he hears the howl of a wolf running free in the woods. He closes his eyes and pictures his own wolf. His eyes sting and burn as they fill with tears, rolling down his face as he pictures his beautiful fur. “Spirit,” He whispers as he pictures his wolf's beautiful white fur and bright blue eyes. He searches the depths of his head, as deep as he can. He looks into every dark place but comes up empty. The Omega buries his face
