Growing up We were told stories of strong werewolf packs up and down the East Coast. We were told about the legendary alphas who led those packs in the Were War. We were told scary stories of what those alphas would do to us if we got out of line. No one in the small pack where we are from grew up ever doubting the validity of Cullen Steiner the alpha of the Good Ole Boys Pack in SouthWest Georgia. He was known for his deed name Baptized by Fire.The campfire stories told of how he had taken down Alpha Joel Handcock by himself in the Were War. Alpha Handcock had gone insane when his wife and daughter were killed in a fire. No one person can explain how it started, but at some point he turned on the females in his pack and surrounding packs, making them prisoners. He abused, raped, and tortured all he could find. He encouraged other wolves to follow his example. Numerous packs across the United States came under attack and their young daughters and wives were hunted.It didn't take long
"Come on Ivory, it's just a run, in the woods with several other pack members," Cedar said with a wide grin. She had been tasked with getting Ivory out and socializing. The pack was very social and tactile, and Ivory wasn't. So it became the number one goal to have her confidence boosted before Cullen came back from his council meeting. He would want to welcome her with a full pack run and celebration which meant a lot of rubbing by the pack in acceptance of her."It is still dark outside, and if you haven't noticed I am glowing in the dark white," Ivory muttered, using her palm to screw her right eye into submission and work."It will be fun. Seriously, a lot of fun." Fern added, nudging Ivory's shoulder before pushing her into the foyer. "And several of the unmated males will be joining." She grinned."It's 5 a.m., and you want me to run in the woods with fifty other wolves while John and Carl chase the two of you? Fine." She half growled. "But don't expect me to like Steve." Steve
Cullen again brushed his thumb over her lower lip. His gaze was molten, not with anger but with desire. "This is not what you think, Ivory." He said, releasing the grip on her hair. His body stayed pressed to hers as his hand cupped her cheek breathing in her scent.Cullen continued to keep her eyes with his as he spoke to Edgar. "Tell Miss Moller that I am unavailable and that I will call her at my earliest convenience." He watched Ivory as she looked away. He moved his head and eyes to keep her looking at him. "Ivory."Ivory's eyes narrowed, searching his face for clues. Had she honestly spent the morning with him? Was this some cruel game he was playing? She tried to look to pull away, but he seemed to outmaneuver her. "If you will forgive me, I think I should go." She laid her hand on his chest, confused. "Yes. I should go." She patted him twice."No, no, look at me." He said, cupping his hand over hers. "Let me explain, please.""Cullen! You heard your little friend. She wants to
After twenty minutes of driving, Carl pulled the truck off the road and down a dirt path. He drove several hundred yards and parked in the field behind the motel where they had been staying while searching for Ivory. The hotel room was small, and run down, but it would do for now. They had brought their sleeping bags in to cover the stench on the beds. Carl couldn't wait to get home and back to the pack."Sir, do you want to pack up the room and head north before you claim her? We are still close to their borders." Roy said, looking over the tree line. He had a bad feeling about the Good Ole Boys and the she-bitch. They had to know what they had and what breeding her would give. She was from a powerful alpha bloodline."No. As soon as I mate with Ivory, there will be no reason to run. We are not on their pack lands and the interstate is neutral." He grinned, leaning down to the blonde and grabbing a fist full of hair."I will never be your mate!" Ivory argued. She held her chin with a
"Edgar, when I sent you out of the room, I meant for you to follow Ivory." Cullen sounded angry at his new Theta. Edgar had been his personal assistant for a little over a month. "Do you know where she is?" He asked in a calm voice."Alpha Cullen," Edgar said, quickly. "I did follow her. She was headed to her cabin. I didn't know she was going to run. And no, no one has seen her. I contacted Kyle, and he was checking the cameras around the compound." He took a breath. "And Aaron and Dominic are already tracking her."Although Edgar had said all the right responses, Cullen was still angry that he handled this so poorly. Ivory was a young unpacked wolf with no bond to track her. And to make matters worse, if his wolf was correct, she was his mate. He needed to find her and bring her here. She needed to be in the circle and accepted into his pack before another pack got ahold of her. At least his best tracker Dominic was after her.Cullen was pacing the length of his office, pinching the
Cullen was angry, that was certain. He felt as though he had failed his mate. He should have chased after her when she stormed out of the kitchen. Nothing had prepared him for the rage when they pulled into the hotel, and he caught her blood-filled scent in the air. His heart had stopped when he saw the rogue about to rip into her shoulder. Cullen’s wolf took complete control, but it was Dominic who barely saved her.Ivory was not the only one injured. Dominic, the pack's best tracker, had nearly lost his leg trying to save Ivory. He had been seconds in front of Cullen and weighed heavily on the Alpha's mind. If he had procrastinated any longer at the den with the boys, this would be a much somberer ride. Thankfully, Dylan had found Marley. Aaron had sent him to find the girl the instant they scented the vampire. Now that they were alone in the truck, he did not know what to say or do. Cullen ran one of the largest Were packs on the East Coast, but could not talk with his wounded mat
Cullen had called Colin Andrews, the ancient vampire who lived just east of the pack's border. Colin had been semi-friendly to Cullen for the last two hundred years and had played a part in keeping the peace in the region. Colin was the oldest vampire in the United States, and nearly all others feared or respected him. Cullen had explained about scenting a youngling at the hotel. And that there was a rogue wolf pack prowling their lands.Colin who didn't normally take a side in the Weres politics found himself oddly attached to this pack and agreed he would have a few friends patrol the area to see if there were other vampires as well. Both men agreed the last thing they needed was a vampire-were war. Things were volatile enough the way it was with the Alpha Council and Vampire Council getting involved."Colin, let me know if you come across any wolves. Earlier today someone I care about was hurt by them, and Dominic was nearly killed." He told the vampire. Cul
"My wolf is settled." She said in a gentle voice. The human mind had not been ready to take a lover, but her wolf needed her mate to claim her and mark her so no other wolf would dare approach. "Does this mean I can join your pack now?" She said with a light laugh."My wolf loves yours and he too feels better. I know why you let me claim you, but I won't ask you for sex again until you want it. And Ivory," he paused. "I don't know your last name.""My name is Ivory Lynn Jennings." She smiled, looking into his eyes. "You are so handsome." She felt herself blush."I'm Cullen James Steiner." He pushed up and leaned so he could kiss her forehead and then the tip of her nose. "Ivory Jennings, I Cullen Steiner, Alpha of the Good Ole Boys pack, welcome and accept you into my pack and welcome you as my Luna." And just like that, over a thousand lights flooded her mind. It was like a commercial for some cellular company, lights popping up all over the place. She felt like saying 'Can you hear
Good Ole Boys PackLeesburg, GeorgiaAlpha Cullen Steiner was sitting in his office, hugging his mate, Ivory, on his chest. His nose was buried in her neck, and he was breathing deep of her scent to calm his wolf. Ever since Fern had been kidnapped, and he discovered the rogues who had taken Ivory were behind the kidnapping, Cullen had felt as though he failed as a leader. If he had taken a more aggressive action back then, Fern and the other she-wolves would have never been abused by Arthur.“It’s okay,” Ivory whispered, tightening her arms around him. “They are safe. Carla and Damian are taking care of them. What you managed to do is great.” Ivory kissed his cheek.Cullen sighed heavily. “If you are trying to make me feel better, it's working.” Gently, Cullen pressed his lips to the soft skin under her ear.“You should feel better, you brought our girl home.” Ivory was referring to Fern. Fern and Cedar were the first two women to fully welcome her into the pack. “And from what I und
“The Good Guys”Pole Barn, Johnson RoadDasher, Georgia“The house is secure, Alpha. I will debrief you when you arrive.” Beta Aaron Martin said before closing the pack link. He knew it was dangerous to distract his Alpha during a recovery mission.Alpha Cullen Steiner had just exited the truck when he heard his beta’s report. While he was glad the home was contained, he still had yet to find Fern. The she-wolf was his priority. “Marco, you and Daksh head around the backside and enter from there. The rest of you fan out and cover the sides.” Though it was a barn, Cullen was at a disadvantage. He knew that most farmers in SouthWest Georgia had storm shelters in their barns. This area had suffered a few too many deadly storms recently.Since Marco and Daksh were not part of his pack, Cullen had waited two minutes and then breached the barn. Removing his shirt, boots, and pants, Cullen readied to shift if needed. He had had many battles over the years and didn't know what he could expect
Dasher, GeorgiaCullen stood beside the white Ford pickup truck. He was waiting for Micah to join them. Micah had scented Fern near Johnson Road and again near Glen Road. Looking at a map, he noticed that Laurel Grove Road joined the two previous roads. He had instructed Marco and Micah to do a quick survey of the side roads and farms between the two locations they scented her.“Don’t worry, Alpha, we will find her,” Aaron said. “If she is collared in silver, she won’t be able to respond to us.” Aaron had been Cullen’s best friend and beta for years. He seemed to have read the concern in Cullen’s eyes.“I know we will. I just hope we find her in time.” Cullen knew better than many that the men who took Fern were capable of just about any torment. They had taken Ivory months before and barely saved her life.Daksh joined the pair. His tiger had been restless for the last hour. No matter how he tried to calm him, his beast demanded control. “If anything has happened to Fer
Good Ole Boys PackLeesburg, Georgia“Ivory, my luv,” Cullen approached his mate from behind and kissed the tender flesh below her ear. His large hand held her hip as his lips planted soft kisses. “The twins are here, and they brought a buddy.” Cullen realized Ivory had never met a Were-Tiger before, and he wanted to assure her that Daksh was trustworthy.“A friend?” Ivory murmured, tilting her chin so Cullen could do as he wished. Ivory would never deny Cullen anything. While she knew their mating was still in the early stages, she doubted she would ever grow old of his caresses.“His name is Daksh,” Cullen’s deep voice paused when he felt Ivory pull away.Ivory twisted her body and looked him in the eyes. “The tiger?” Ivory sounded chipper. “Fern told me about him.” When Fern and Cedar returned from the rescue mission, Ivory noticed how solemnly Fern had come. As her friend, Ivory made her a cup of coffee and Fern told her that Daksh, and she, had become close.A shocked look greete
Newly Formed Valdosta PackValdosta, GeorgiaRay wasted no time in securing Fern to the heavy pole in the middle of the barn. Her wrists were chained above her head, and an eighteen-inch spreader bar separated her ankles. The silver collar around her neck ensured her wolf would remain weak.Fern continued to glare at Ray as he began to admire her body. Normally being nude around males did not concern her, but this lecherous man gave her the chills. Fern could feel her skin crawling as Ray stepped closer. From behind the ball gag, Fern muttered several warnings.“Don’t worry, my sweet, sweet pet. You will find it can be pleasant here if you allow it.” Ray placed his hand on her cheek and slowly moved his thumb over her lower lip. “You just need a reminder of where your place is.”Fern jerked her face as far from his touch as possible. Fern said I will show you my place, but with the ball gag, it sounded “Ah ill oh ou I ace.”Ray let his finger slide along her throat and down b
Newly Formed Valdosta Pack Valdosta, Georgia Arthur Hastings, self-appointed Alpha of the Valdosta Pack, sat in his room, looking over the forms of several sleeping she-wolfs. Arthur first came across Danielle Nivens at a local coffee shop. The she-wolf had been too busy on her cell phone to notice Arthur. She made it too easy for him to stalk her through the parking lot and capture her the moment she unlocked her door. Luckily, there were no outside CCTV surveillance cameras. Arthur found that Danielle was a come slut who didn't even care that she was bound and gagged her. In fact, the woman enjoyed the game Arthur offered. And when he shared Danielle with his pack, she was more than compliant. Marge Campbell was his second conquest. Arthur stumbled upon the rogue she-wolf in Jasper, Florida when he was there buying supplies. Arthur was smart and decided to purchase the supplies needed at numerous locations, so he wouldn’t alert any local Weres. Florida was known for its
Good Ole Boy PackLeesburg, GeorgiaIvory rolled over and hugged her pillow. “Five more minutes. I need five more minutes of sleep,” she said groggily. Since joining the lack, she had been going on morning runs. At first, it was a way to get to meet the lack. Now it was to let the pack get to know her as their Luna.An evil look danced over Cullen’s face. He climbed slowly on the bed, lifting the sheet. “Five minutes, huh?” Cullen said softly as he spread his mate's thighs.“Yes,” Ivory sighed in her sleepy state.Cullen eased his body between her thighs and without hesitation buried his face between her folds. Cullen slid a finger over her slut as his teeth tugged on her clit. When he heard her gentle moan, he separated her wet lips and slipped two fingers inside of her. His free arm wrapped around Ivory’s body to hold her in place as he feasted.Cullen motioned his fingers in a twisting motion as he sawed into and out of her, making certain to tease her G-Spot each time.
Straw Hat PackTemporary HomeDry Ridge, Kentucky Alpha Jade Spencer was sitting in the small office browsing a document on her laptop. Without looking, Jade reached for a cup of coffee that Denny had placed on the desk an hour ago. As Luffy sipped, an expression of disdain spread across her face. “Yuck,” she quickly spat the offending drink back into the mug. “What the heck!”“Denny, my love, did you change my coffee?” Luffy asked through the mind link.Denny Fredrick, her fated mate, was in the kitchen with Chef. Leo ‘Chef’ Robin was the pack Beta in charge of supplies. He recently ordered a new coffee bean and was currently grinding enough beans for a fresh pot of coffee. Denny’s eyes glazed over, and a smile crawled over his face. It had been over an hour since he dropped off the coffee.“It took you long enough, baby. But yes, Chef has a new blend and I have to say it is good when it's hot.” Denny walked to the pantry, pulling out a new package of Oreo cookies. Jade loved dipping
The Spectral Riders ClubhouseDry Ridge, KentuckyMaria had to admit that she was proud of how quickly she shut him down. Maria had not come here looking for a partner but came to make contacts. Bee picked the drink off the bar and downed most of it before smiling. “I will be upfront with you, I am not looking for company.”Griffin had not expected this beautiful woman to cut him to the bone with two words. It had been years since his skills failed him. Lifting the beer to his lips Griffin’s eyes took in all of her. “That was harsh.” Griffin took a deep draw of the beer. After looking at Dinky, the bartender, Griffin gave a slight bob of his head. Dinky placed another drink in front of her.“Let’s try this again,” Griffin winked. “Hello, you are,” then he turned his face and answered. “I’m Griffin.” Turning his face again, Griffin continued. “Nice to meet you as well. I’m, insert my name here. I just stopped in to check the clubhouse out.” Bee could not hide her amusement. Griffin wa
