We walked into the Alpha suite, and a wave of nerves took over me. I could not explain why, but it did. This was the moment I had waited for. To bring my fated home. And now she was here, I felt like a nervous wreck!
I had asked for the suite to be cleaned up, and prepared for the two of us, as a couple now, and I hoped to have a family home built in due course. I saw how her Dad had done things for Aunt Lilah, and knew they were a good example to follow. My parents sure as hell hadn't been, but Lilah's parents were. And, a family home we plan together could be perfect. But, for the time being, we would be making the Alpha suite our home, and I wanted it to be as perfect as it could be.
I glanced briefly to Cleo to try to decipher if she, too felt as anxious as me, but her beautiful features gave nothing away. We had made polite conversation all the way home, because I felt it was necessary. I could see Cleo was struggling to fight the tears as we left her home pack&he
I never had Landon down as being the nervous type when it came to me, but I saw that look upon his face. He was more than a little unsure. But, this was our moment, and I was not about to let anything ruin it. I knew Landon, and I knew he would just need a little encouragement.I wasn’t even sure where that extra confidence from within me came from. Terra, I assume. I could sense how much she was wanting her mate. And from the deep growl that slipped from Landon’s lips, I think it was safe to say his wolf was wanting his mate just as much. This was our moment. Finally alone, and knowing we wanted one another. We would be foolish to waste the opportunity we had...“Oh, is that right?” he murmured, his voice laced with lust, as he gently laid me onto the bed.I smiled, a slow and sultry smile in the direction of the man who was soon to be my fully fledged mate. I truly could not wait, and decided the best way to answer him was to show him, hooking my arms around his neck, pulling his f
There had never been any denial Cleo was beautiful. She was able to catch the eye of most men, and likely women too… But here she was in front of me. Naked. My mate. And, well, I don’t think there is any other word for her other than perfect. I was blessed to know she was mine… and I had been a fool to let her go. I knew I would not be letting her go again. If anything, everything we had been through would make me appreciate my mate all the more. Worship her. And right now, worship her was what I planned to do...Seeing her eyes all but roll back in her head at my touch drove me wild with desire for her. As I pressed my lips to hers once more. My fingers sliding inside of her core over and over, making her gasp with pleasure against my lips. Knowing Cleo wanted me did things to me. I needed this girl. But knowing she needed me to turned me on immensely. Her hand suddenly teased at the head of my cock, making it stand even more to attentio
While I had been brave and had the much needed talk with Cleo, I had been far from brave since, and done all I could to avoid her. Not that there had been much opportunity to see her. She had been busy doing whatever it was she was doing… likely spending time with the man set to be her mate. While, I was busy helping at the family business. Not a role I relished, but one I was a part of, and one right now I appreciated, because it was occupying my mind. Plus, I was one of the only ones not busy with a new mate, so I was needed in the offices a lot.After a hectic day in the offices, I was returning to my place, ready to put my feet up, but Cleo was laying heavily upon my mind. She had been all day. I knew that the day of the Alpha ceremony at River Ash was fast approaching. And that meant there was a strong chance Cleo could go and be with her mate. Iknew that what was being discussed. But since then, it had not been confirmed, or at least not to me… not that ha

Another beautiful day ahead at Midnight Forest Pack. I had a lot to look forward to as well. Meeting the girls for coffee was always a welcome distraction, though it was maybe quite a frequent distraction… but they were my friends, and if we, as the mates of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and senior warriors, were not allowed these regular coffee dates, then who was? A perfect opportunity to catch up and talk absolute nonsense, without having to listen to the guy chat that invades the conversation when our mates were with us. No crime in that, right?I checked my reflection and adjusted my long blond hair. Thankfully, despite now being in my forties, my hair was still maintaining its blond tone. Knox, however, was starting to gain the occasional gray dotted into his thick, dark hair, but I think it made him look rugged and handsome in a sexy kind of way. Who knew that getting older would suit him…I left the bedroom, heading toward the stairs with a yawn. I was in desperate need of a coffee b
I dropped onto my bed, knackered after my day's training. Warrior training was good for me. So much better than being back at home. Kept my mind occupied. Just shit that Daxton and Kaleb had headed home again. They were definitely something I missed when they left. Not that I would tell them that.I felt my phone buzzing, to look down and see it was my Grandad asking me to call him when I was free. Grandad Grayson. Alpha of the hellhole I was to become Alpha to, thanks to the fucking scum, I had the pleasure of calling my Dad. Not that he ever saw me. No, he had managed to mess up his later teen years from the things I learned. Though, the version my Grandma Talia and Grandad Grayson told me were somewhat tamer than the versions I have since heard.Leaving me confused. Scared. Unsure of how I felt for him. He was much loved in River Ash Pack, of that there was no doubt. He struggled with his past, I knew that. But I struggled with the fact perhaps some of it was self-inflicted. He cho
I laid back to relax in the sunshine only for Finn to poke me in the belly button making me squeal, and I hear laughter from Wren and Dario, who were sitting close by. A group of us had decided an afternoon by the lake while the sun was shining would be a perfect way to spend some time while Kaleb and Daxton were home from training.I sat up and scowled at Finn. “You are not funny!”“Dario and Wren thought I was.” He grinned, and I found myself smiling back, as I always did when Finn smiled at me. His smile was contagious. He was one of my older brother’s closest friends, and a number of years older than me, but Finn had always been there for me. “You like me poking you really” he winked and continued to poke me, making me giggle, before Kai, who was walking back from the lake to where we were laid out on the beach area, slapped him around his head playfully.“Eww. Did you hear what you just said to her?!” Kai growled, and I could not help the smirk that was playing upon my lips. I sw
It was never fun seeing my friends flirting with my younger sister, but they were all old enough to know she was not their fated mate. All well past shifting age, and all having their wolves by now. So it was clear by now that they would not be the one she ended up with, and it wasn’t like we hadn’t heard the tale often enough from our Mum about being careful about getting into relationships before meeting our fated mate; after the struggle she had gone through before meeting my Dad. Though, I do think her situation was somewhat different…And, it was hard to have to see Jorge in more recent times suffering after being rejected by his fated mate all because she did not want to end the long-term relationship she was in to be with him, after meeting at an inter-pack sports event we had all attended. Seeing the happiness as he had realized who she was, as he introduced himself... and then the pain take over as she told him she did not want him. That he was not the one that was meant for

It did not take long for me to throw my things into a few bags. My Mum had promised she would have the rest all boxed up for the day of the Alpha ceremony in a few days’ time. So, I did not need to take too much with me today. I stood from my place on the floor, where I had been sat cross-legged along with my Mum packing, and she stood to join me. Emotion marred her face.“So…” she whispered, and I could hear the wobble to her voice. I did not want to cry…“I am not going far, Mum.” I tried, but my own voice betrayed me and wobbled equally as much.Mum’s arms were soon around me, as she pulled me to her, resting her head upon my shoulder. “I know, CC, I know. But, you are still moving out. My little girl.”I chuckled. “I am not little anymore, Mum.”“You will always be my baby, no matter how big you get, remember that. All of you will. This is a big da
The craziness at Kai’s family home made me smile. They were so much fun, yet so close I could not help but love being around them. I think Cleo had taken them all by surprise with her unexpected earlier move to be with her mate, but, in truth, who could blame her? The need to be with your fated mate is overwhelming. I cannot believe I was ever able to say no to Kai now.As Kai and I left his parents, we received a mindlink to let us know that Camilla had finally arrived at the pack gates! I was so excited. And did not wait a moment later to rush my way over to meet her. The moment I reached the gates, I could see her long blond hair as she leaned against the guardroom, and her laughter seemed to fill the air. Whoever was on guard seemed to be keeping her more than amused…“Seems we needn’t have rushed after all.” Kai joked as he too took in the scene. “Looks like Jorge was keeping your friend pretty happy.” He let out a deep c
Awkward did not even cover the atmosphere in the house right now. As much as I was wanting Cleo to be home with me, I did not want this situation. I loved her Mum and Dad like my own family. They had treated me like family, despite the pain my parents had caused Aunt Lilah all those years ago. I did not want to upset them…“You are doing what now?” Uncle Knox spoke gruffly. He did not sound happy. Cleo was his little girl. As much of a great guy he may be, I knew he would do all he could to protect her. I was lucky, in all honesty he had not wanted to rip me limb from limb when he discovered I had contemplated rejecting her. I would have deserved it. Cleo had deserved to be treated better. I was lucky Uncle Knox was a bigger man...“Don’t over-react Daddy.” Cleo put on a sweet and innocent face now. Clearly in a bid to win her Dad over. I had a feeling that was unlikely to work here…“No. Nevermind do not overreact.” Aunt Lilah was next to us now, her eyes a furious glare. “This had
Life with a mate was proving to be everything I could have dreamed and more. Waking up with Bella by my side was heavenly. She may not have been here all that long, but already I could not imagine her not being here. She was settling into the pack so well, and already becoming popular with all pack members. I felt so blessed.Bella and I had headed over to visit my Mum and Dad, and make arrangements for Bella’s friend Camilla arriving in pack. Dad had said he was happy for Bella to have her here as a friend, and if she wanted to work within the café at the art store with Bella when she started there in a few weeks then he was happy for that.Bella had loved the idea of the art store that had been set up initially for my Mum and Aunt Indie. She and my Mum had spent much time discussing, and how it had turned into a bigger family thing when Aunt Ruby, Aunt Esme and Aunt Lola had added the café as part of an expansion they had all wor
Cleo’s lips against mine felt like liquid gold. So good. Perfect. And I did not want to stop our kisses. Her hand was gripping tighter to my hair as she pulled me closer to deepen the kiss. My tongue teasing at hers, sending shots of desire coursing through my body. My heart pounded heavily against hers, as she suddenly pulled away, leaving me breathless and desperate for more…Those big brown eyes of hers were now looking at me, a little unsure, making me doubt everything all over again. Did she not want to kiss me? Was she regretting her choice to kiss me now? I hoped not... not when it had felt so good... but I know the last time we kissed hadn’t gone so well… was she wondering if things would turn bad between us again? Was she doubting me?My mind whirred with so many questions, but I knew I needed to check if everything was okay. Dex was whimpering as he sensed my own unease, and the sound was almost unbearable. If Cleo decided being with
