FreyMy wedding's today. We had fixed our wedding date and sent out the invitation cards to the wolf bloods of the Night Shade Pack. Shannon distributed the invites to the houses of the wolves using a spell which left the cards on their front porch. I was still recovering from what happened at the arena, and I spent a lot of time with the kids, helping them with their homework. My mother's banishment from the pack left my father devastated by her sudden exit. She even cut ties with him, but I figured out that my old man knew he'd lost his wife and fated mate a long time ago. Knowing that this would affect his work energy, I asked for a day off from work and spent the last three days with him. Like I said, today was my wedding day, and I stood in front of the floor-length mirror in the large dressing room, eyes transfixed by the aura of beauty exuding from me. I clutched the oversized bridal bouquet close to my chest, my breathing matching my distraught heartbeat.Releasing a sigh, I
TylerIf there was a place where I'd happily sign out as being the Beta of Night Shade Pack, I'd take that opportunity. I needed my vacation. This place was tearing me into bits, and it made me wonder how Logan and Frey survived the pressure of being the leaders. I needed a vacation. They were gone for a week. Seven freaking days. I ran my hands through my dark hair and turned to Jax, who had walked into my room. I had asked him to find me here because this was my one in a lifetime opportunity to fix things with him. Not only that, but we needed to oversee the work at the construction site. I loved him. I needed no more confirmation because of what happened when we left the pack to help Aiden. Besides, my father was out of the way of my happiness, so why shouldn't I take it? To be honest, I didn't want to get back to Jax because of my father's absence. I wanted him regardless. “Why am I here?” He asked with a frown. “I want you to meet me in the woods in two hours. Plus, you need to
FreyRun!I swirled my head to glimpse the creature that was after me, but it was nowhere in sight. The razor-sharp earth stones cursed my feet, and I raced through the densely packed forest, maneuvering through the tree branches and skilfully evading the thick brush that consisted of thorns, poison ivy and wild flowers. I didn't know how I made it here, but it felt so incongruous. Someone was after me and the only instinct that kicked in was survival, hence fleeing with my life. Flashes of a dagger and a book haunted and hunted my mind as uncanny images persisted in my brain. A line of blood ran down my nose. I grasped my hair and struggled to keep my breathing intact and respond to my environment.“You can't escape me, Frey, darling.” His hoarse voice erupted through the air accompanied by a rather monstrous laughter. I felt a hand caress through my jet black hair, then a faint whisper, whispers, and my eyes bulged out in instant fright. He’d found me.~I could remember the first da
LoganMy heart skipped a beat when Frey slumped to the floor, and I hurried toward her, sweeping her off the ground and placing her on the couch. Was she having complications with the pregnancy? Was it something I didn't know about? I notified Beta Tyler through the mind link, asking him to meet me at the hospital. I moved her to the healers and awaited the nurse's verdict. From Jemimah's expertise, there wasn't anything wrong with her or the baby. If it wasn't something physical, then it might be supernatural, so I called on Shannon to work her magic with spells and ingredients, and try to decipher what was happening to my mate. I was standing outside the hospital ward, pacing the floor and waiting with bated breath to hear any news that meant her safety. What if she doesn't wake up? What if it's something completely different? Fuck, I need to get my shit together and be hopeful. “Damn it.” I screamed and buried my fist into the wall.“Logan, you need to calm down.” Tyler said. I le
FreyI didn't know how long I'd stayed on the other side, but I had escaped the man that had tried to murder me for his selfish desires. I'd woken up at the face of an unfamiliar woman and she'd reassured me that everything would be alright. Pulling myself up to the headboard, I placed a pillow on my lap and my mind wandered to what had happened to me in my dream state. The memories I saw of my parents with me as a child. Clearly, my mother had always hated me from birth, and it made me question if she was truly my mother.Logan and Shannon must have unearthed what was wrong with me. That's why we were in this unrecognizable place. Well, at least this place got to pull me out of my nightmare.I rose from the bed and moved to the window, which was slightly parted. I couldn't see anyone outside, but could hear the voices of Logan and Shannon by the porch. How was I going to explain to my mate that I'd been seeing weaves that exuded powerful magic and I didn't care to tell him? Love was a
LoganI walked into the kitchen to take my coffee. It was morning, and I'd gone through my daily morning routine with the pack patrols. Today Agatha was arriving, and I had to ensure that everything was all set for Frey. Not like we'd returned on speaking terms, but I had to make sure that everything was flowing right for her. Beta Tyler had left with the Sentinel team to scan the outside borders of the territory to unearth if the hounds were moving closer to the pack. I had also talked with Keaton about initiating training for all wolf bloods sixteen years and above. And he replied it would be wise if it started after the witches arrived. Normally, only wolf bloods above eighteen years of age train. But what had happened last time was a simple reminder that hounds could attack us anytime, and I wanted every member of my pack to be prepared. I wanted these young wolf bloods to defend themselves.I chugged down the contents of the coffee cup and slammed it on the counter, nodding a than
Trigger Warning — Detailed sex scene ahead! Viewer discretion advised!LoganThe full moon had risen to its zenith and wolf bloods of Night Shade Pack had gathered in the Elder Woods to shift for the pack run. Frey was resting at the pack house and was awaiting my return after the full moon run. Agatha cautioned me on how dangerous Frey's power might be. But I had to believe that she had what it takes to control it. If she couldn't, then I'd seek other solutions instead of letting the woman I love perish at the hands of this power. I stood on the platform to address the gathered wolves, whom I could feel their tether to the moon. Tonight, the goddess would weave the mate bonds, wolves would either accept or reject their mates. Either way, I already knew my fate with Frey. I didn't care about the mating bond because the bond I felt with her was extraordinary. “Wolves of Night Shade. Today is the second shift under the full moon since the Elders crowned me Alpha. Let out your wolves for
Trigger Warning: Detailed gay sex scene ahead! Viewer Discretion advised!TylerI had returned from the ritual Agatha had performed for Frey. We’d arrived back at the manor to prepare for tonight's run, and I was making sure everything was perfect for the night I would mark and claim Jax as my mate. I spent my day with the Sentinel wolves outside the pack territory, tracking the movements of our enemies to discover if they were drawing close to the pack. Nothing! Not even a sign that the hounds were near the territory. I returned with the feedback to Logan and also got informed that Frey was having twins. I was so happy for my brother. Two Alpha heirs, damn! He was a talented scorer.The full moon was rising through the dark blue cloud and my wolf howled in my head as it prepared for tonight's run. My tether to the moon got stronger with each passing second as I grabbed my jacket and headed out of the manor, making a beeline to the clearing in the elder woods.I was almost there when I
