*Author Note* I apologize for any confusion in the flow of the story. As in life, some events simultaneously occur. I might have not conveyed this properly in my storytelling. I added tags to clarify locations and packs and will try to be more conscious of timeline flow as all these separate supernatural entities begin to merge into one fluid conflict. So to recap: The werewolves of The Good Ole Boys Pack are a focal point for investigation as well as the Southern Weres, including were-panthers and were-cougars. Cullen the alpha is also part of the Alpha Council and Were Council. He is a long-time friend of Colin Andrews, an ancient vampire. He is also Hope Howard's alpha and placed her undercover in Mangadoom after her mate Alex was killed. The vampires and the werewolves are not normally on good terms outside of Cullen and Colin’s friendship. Other supernatural beings such as the druids and fae are at odds as well. The human hunters of Mangadoom are insane psychopaths add
The Good Ole Boys PackLeesburg, GeorgiaIvory had been nervous since Cullen left three days ago. She had just started to open up to her name and he was whisked away on deadly business. The young she-wolf looked at Carla and sighed. “How soon until we get the information from the children's nursery?” As Cullen’s mate, Ivory would become his Luna. The couple had decided to give it a month for her to get enrolled in school and take over responsibilities from Carla, who had been dealing with the absence of a Luna until now.Carla simply smiled and reached over, taking Ivory’s hand. “Relax. He will be home soon.” Carla remembered what it was like when she was newly mated and separated. It was hell, and looking at Ivory’s bitterness, Carla could see the young woman was struggling.“I’m sorry, Carla. I don't know what is wrong with me or my wolf. She is sulking and angry and I'm just blah. I feel like an outsider and I can't think of anything but him. Is it normal?” Ivory trie
As much as Ivory felt the pull to her mate, she was still rather inexperienced when it came to self-confidence in pleasing him. She had finally decided to accept the mate bond and not push him away. So now as he carried her into the shower and set her on her feet, she swallowed her fear. Standing on the tips of her toes, her lips tenderly parted and she tasted her own fluid plastered on his chin. Both she and her wolf enjoyed the growl that escaped his chest.Ivory started to kiss a trail under his jaw and down his neck, raking her teeth over her bite mark. She kneeled slowly as her lips worshiped his well-defined abs. Cullen had an eight-pack that ended with a perfectly chiseled V etched on his well-muscled torso.“What are you doing, little wolf?” Cullen half growled as he felt Ivory’s hand sprayed on his thigh. Cullen knew Ivory was still skittish about this level of intimacy.“Shush,” Ivory hissed as her tongue darted over the tip of his hardened length. She watched his fac
Crested Butte, ColoradoSix months ago“Look,” Josephine paused, pushing away from the desk as she reached for the forms printing behind her. She continued to speak into the earpiece microphone. “I know Roger said he wanted this to be equal, but I will not settle for 1/20th of the cost of the lake house. It was my family’s long before we married. I understand it was not part of the prenuptial, and it was inherited, but it doesn’t mean I am looking to sell it.” She sighed as she tapped the papers in place and stapled them in the upper left corner. “Sarah, I need to finish some paperwork and then meet my four o’clock, let me call you back on Monday when I get back into town.” Josephine sighed as the call ended. She sat there and glanced at the fourteen messages her soon-to-be ex-husband had left. FBI Special Agent Roger Harold had been hell-bent on pressing for a quick divorce since his mistress was pregnant and wanted his name. Josephine had tried for ten years to conceive b
Present DayGreen Ridge State ForestSouth Mountain Pack LandsAlpha Anthony Rossi, Luna Willow Brook, and Alpha Fox McGregor excited the Black Chevrolet Suburban. Fox pulled Willow to his chest and brushed his mate with a tender kiss followed by Anthony kissing her with such gentleness. “Okay, you two,” Anthony said, leading them to a small log cabin.“Last month I was approached by a newly mated couple who needed a safe location to rest during pregnancy. I was hesitant to agree but after finding out who and what they are I had to offer protection.” Anthony explained.Willow sniffed the area and caught an unfamiliar scent. She looked at her mates. “What is that? I have never smelled anything like it.”Before Anthony could respond a rather large grizzly bear emerged from the right side of the cabin. He just looked at the trio and snorted before walking to the cabin door.“Holy hell,” Fox said as he stepped in front of Willow trying to protect her. “Anthony, are you crazy?”“N
*Author note*While I enjoy writing 3rd person, I am finding 1st person helpful with this next chapter. If the swap is confusing or distracting, leave me a comment and let me know.~~~Green Ridge State ForestSouth Mountain Pack LandsUnknown POVI was sent here three weeks ago to investigate a suspected werewolf pack. I never believed in werewolves or vampires until I was on a mission in Fallujah, Iraq. I was fresh out of Camp Pendleton and as green as they come. I had just made E-2 Private First Class Henderson. Now don’t go getting all happy, this is normal after six months or so for most Marines. I wanted to rank to E-3 as soon as possible so I could be trained as a sniper with future hopes of becoming an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technician. Yeah, yeah big dreams for a peon like me at the time. But that is not what happened.After three weeks in the country, I was part of a convoy assigned to patrol the area outside Eastern Fallujah. I was in the second humvee f
Joshua Taylors POVI don’t know how or why I lost control so easily. I have been trained to endure extensive torture. But a few touches and I was putty in her hands. I am pretty certain she is a wolf and using some sort of mind fuck against me. I am going to have to be smarter when she comes back. First things first, I need to get free and kill as many of these creatures as possible.I looked around the room noticing the small table and a cot. In the corner was a metal sink and what seemed to be a steel toilet. Okay, this was a cell, I can handle this. I figured if they put me in here they are planning on keeping me alive long enough to break me. I cannot allow that to happen.I closed my eyes to try and stop the soft thumping from behind my right eye. Ever since I woke up I have felt the discomfort. I don’t know how long it has been since it was lights out for me, but I started to wonder if I missed my weekly call. I call in once a week on Friday mornings at 0600 hours.
Good Ole Boys PackLeesburg, Georgia“Lucious Avery, do you fully understand what it is to serve a pack? Do you vow to always place the pack before your personal needs? Do you swear to protect and defend your pack until your dying breath is called for?” Cullen asked Valic as he kneeled before him and Ivory. Cullen had always known Lucious was born of Alpha blood. But instead of leading a pack, he joined the Council after his mate was killed. He started as part of the Straw Hat Pack, but Luffy was a stronger Alpha and Valic settled as a strong Beta.“I do understand and vow my blood and life to protect my pack and provide shelter, food, and security. I pledge my plurality to them and the Alpha Council.” Valic said with deep sincerity.Aaron walked to Cullen and offered a ceremonial blade. Pulling it across his palm he extended it to Lucious. Lucious mimicked the motion and the two men joined hands as Valic stood. The circle of stones buzzed and hummed as ancient magic soared
