"Alpha, the doctor isn't able to make it. He's not around here."Don's eyes watered and my heart beat rose."What the hell do you mean the doctor isn't here? Isn't there someone to replace him?"This couldn't be happening right now.I looked back at Don, and he slowly shook his head."Aaron, the best way is to take Christian to the hospital. Right this instant!"Helena held Christian's hand, and took mine in her other."Baby, he'll be fine... You need to calm down. You're the Alpha. Everyone is waiting for your order. If you're here freaking out, what do you think they're going through?" Helena's words shook me. I slowly put Christian's head on the ground."Don, grab the car and bring it here. Lezelle, you stay here with Felix and keep an eye out for any more intruders. Helena you're coming with me to the hospital!"Don had already run off to get the car and Anna looked over at me."Alpha, what about your mother? She seems to have woken!"I looked over and indeed my mother was walkin
AARONI got up abruptly from the chair and toppled over it which made me land against the hard, cold tiled floor.A groan escaped my lips, and Christian jumped on me. He was shifted into his werewolf form and his slobbery tongue licked across my entire face.I tried to push him away but he put my weight on my body and I started to worry."Doctor!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.I shifted into my werewolf form and snarled at Christian to back off. He whimpered and lightened his grip to which I took advantage and pushed him off softly. I didn't want to hurt him more so I wasn't too aggressive.But a few seconds later, Christian was being pried from my body and placed back onto the bed.He was held against the bed by six nurses and the doctor ran in the room with a long injection.Christian was wiggling under the nurses' grips and the doctor quickly injected the long needle instead his chest.I heard my mother let out a yelp and saw Helena hold onto her shoulders, preventing her from
I continued to stare for god knows how long. My astonished face had everyone just smiling and tearing up in pure joy.My mother wrapped her arms around me to give me a big hug but I still couldn't process the information that had been given to me.Helena took ahold of my hand which snapped me out of trance like gaze and grinned."You mean to say that I'm going to be a father to two beautiful pups?"She nodded her head happily and I jumped up in pure joy."Mom!" I screamed out with a grin on my face.She grinned back and clapped her hands."Mom, I'm going to be a father! I can't believe this!" I kept shaking my head.My mother came over to me and slapped my arm."Aren't you going to congratulate your wife you oaf!"My eyes grew double its size, and I smacked my forehead.I twirled on my heels and picked up Helena. I placed her on the floor, and kept twirling her and her giggles rang and echoed in the hospital room."We're going to be parents to the most beautiful pups in the entire wor
"We're pregnant with two beautiful children!"Helena and I looked at each other in complete shock. We hadn't planned out what we were going to say but I was glad it was the same thing. We chuckled but our laughter stopped when we heard shouts and laughs.There were more than a hundred pack members in the living room, and 'Congratulations' were ringing in the room.I was so glad to be an Alpha to such a joyful pack. Everyone was excited, maybe a little bit more excited than we were.Felix pulled in his sister for a hug, and gave me a hand shake."I'm so happy for you baby sister," said Felix with a huge smile.My wife giggled and smiled bright fully."Congratulations, Aaron and Helena! I'm so excited for these munchkins to arrive," Lezelle exclaimed. She and Ana gave Helena a hug. They also tapped my back, while Ana gave me a quick hug.Don ran, full forced, and tackled me to the floor."Congratulation, bro! I can't believe it... You're finally going to have a baby. Finally, our baby w
THREE AND A HALF MONTHS LATERAARON"Holy fucking hell!" I flinched when I heard my wife let out a painful scream that seemed to have come from her darkened soul."It's okay baby, everything wi—"She squeezed my hand, and I let out a gut wrenching scream."Shut up! You just shut the fuck up, Aaron or I'm going to slap you to the next millennium!" She screamed with all her might, staring at me with her darkened eyes."I was—" Before I was able to finish, she hand flew out in front of me and gave me a hard slap.My mother covered her mouth, trying to cover up the laugh that was erupting from her body.My eyes widened and I yelled out. "Damn it!"Helena looked up. I knew that my soul had escaped from my body and was standing next to me, shaking his head."What did you just say?" She yelled in my face but right away let out another howl, with tears running down her face."I-I swear I didn't aim that at you baby." I mumbled and backed away when she hand lifted up."Under," My mother mumble
KATEI've been told since I was a child that I was a breeder and I was always told what I'd be used for, to breed strong heirs for mate-less, higher ups who require an heir.Breeders have been used for many years now, ever since Alphas and other higher ups found it harder to find their true mates, strong mate-less young women from the age of 16 were then taken and sold to these higher ups.The money made from these sales were given to the fathers of the 16-year-old breeders. I know that it sounds super bad and yes, it sometimes can be, but sometimes, well most times, the breeders are given to men who treat them really well and shower them with gifts, sometimes love and when they are no longer able to breed any more than they were given comfortable lives. So you see, it wasn't all bad.Anyway, if breeders have sons then they could care for then till they were 5 when they'd be taken for training. If breeders had daughters then the daughter
I awoke early as usual today and just as I was about to get up to do my chores, I realised that today was my assessment day and I wouldn't have any chores today. Breeders, when we turn 16, are made up, sent to be assessed and then if it comes back with a tick to being a breeder then we are packed up and shipped off.My older sister Leah got up and started to get dressed in a long black dress, ready to do her chores. It was the same thing every day for her. She gets up, gets dressed and then goes to do her chores, stopping for lunch and stopping just after dinner. Mum gets to hang out with Leah, which mum just loves because she doesn't get to see her other children as much as Leah. Si, Artie and Clive come to see mum when they can, Artie more than others because Si is always in Beta training and never gets away that much.Leah was now 19 and had dad's muddy brown hair. Her eyes were a murky grey colour and although her skin is pretty and flawless like mum's, her body an
TIMOTHY I sat with all the other higher ups in the breeder auction room, wondering a little how my life got to this point. I was the 21-year-old Alpha to the Dark Moon pack in North West America, and I've spent 5 years and countless resources trying to find my mate. So, instead of wasting more time and money, I've settled on a breeder, at my father's request because he wants to see his grandchildren to me. My father has pushed me to use a breeder, saying they are easier to get a hold of and from them come really strong children, just look at you he said to me. I am the eldest son of an Alpha and a breeder, a strong one, so my father pushed me harder to use a breeder, but I had hoped for my mate. The batch from North America didn't interest me nor did the batch from the South. The current batch is from Central America and so far held no interest for me either until she came out. Many of us higher ups sat up when she came out in her pale blue dress. She stood up on the podium and abov
"Lily!" A voice shouted, pulling me from my sleep and forcing me to wake up."What?" I mumbled, hoping the person would shut up or just go away."You have to get dressed, I was ordered to have you ready an hour ago!" The voice exclaimed, running around the room and knocking things over in the process."By who?" I asked, opening my eyes slowly and letting them adjust to the light.Once I could see clearly, I noticed Rowena frantically moving around to get stuff in order. She held clothes in her hands and a few baskets were on the dresser. I sat up straight, yawning and trying to get myself together for her sake."Alpha Denver will have my head if you aren't downstairs in twenty minutes," Rowena yelled, throwing the clothes at me. "Here, put these on now!" She ordered, her yellow eyes expressing how scared out of her mind she is.Before I could ask her anything or even get another word out, she rushed out of the room. I like Rowena and watching her as a nervous wreck doesn't sit well wi
I woke up wrapped in the arms of another, their heat radiating off their skin and onto mine. I could feel their hot breath against the back of my exposed neck, sending chills throughout my entire body. My body was pressed tightly to theirs and the light struggle I made to move away caused a low growl to vibrate through their chest. As weird as it was for that person to make that type of sound in reaction to me moving away, it also made me feel strangely safe and warm. I slowly lifted my eyelids to take in the room around me. Darkness consumed every corner of the room, giving away nothing as to what's hiding within it. I cocked my head to the side in attempt to see the sleeping person beside me. Although the darkness hid the room, it couldn't hide the one man I've come to know oh so well over the past few days-Denver; my mate. Seeing him laying there so calm and innocent made my heart swoon for him, but I know that's not even close to the feelings I should be having. He's the man who
I can't take this anymore. I'm cut off from everyone and everything. I haven't seen Leon, he hasn't come down since before. People I don't know have been giving me food, dirty looks, then proceed to walk away. How could Denver run a place like this? You're not treated as an equal and I couldn't imagine staying in this pack. I miss my old pack, at least you were treated with respect- well, except for me of course.Why do I always have to be the person who gets crap all the time? I hate everyone and everything in this place! I must sound really whiny and over dramatic, but it's genuinely how I feel.I've been hurt so much over these past few days down here. Denver gave notice to some people that I am not in fact his 'true mate'. A guy I noticed from the meeting before came down to feed me and when I asked him about all of this, his only reply was that I've been rejected. It hurt like hell to hear that, but I guess I saw that one coming all along.I cried out as I banged my back against
I sat in the cell crying for hours. No one came around; no one checked on me. I was left all alone to sit there, crying over a man who I thought was supposed to love me. I hate to admit Timothy is right, but he is. He warned me this would happen, but I didn't listen. I hope he can forgive me, I want nothing more than to just go home.Sadly, my mate turned out to be crap. Denver thinks he can make me act and talk exactly how he wants. He thinks he controls me and that keeping me down here will give him more power. The truth is, it does. The longer I'm down here, the more broken I feel. I can't believe that my own mate played me. He talks down to me and has no care in the world for how I feel.This wasn't supposed to be like this, it was supposed to be magical. I was supposed to have a mate who would sweep me off my feet, love me no matter what and always take care of me. I guess you can't always get what you want and right now I'm not even sure I even know what I need.I just want to l
"Lily, is it true then? Did Alpha Denver leave Miss Winter for you; his mate?" Rowena questioned me with confused, grey eyes."Miss Winter?" I retorted, not at all recognizing the name."Winter, Alpha Denver fiance... The girl you just told off?" She asked, looking at me with a puzzled stare."Oh, that's her name? Well I've only ever heard of her, but I guess it makes sense..." I trailed off."Makes sense?" Rowena pressed, not liking my vague attitude.I shrugged my shoulders, not really liking the idea of going into details with her. "I don't know, it's just that with her kind of personality it's more than obvious why your Alpha left her."I know that Denver and I aren't in the best of places, but that chick is crazy! She got all worked up over the fact her Alpha found his mate. I know some people treasure power and all that, but to me it seems like a complete waste of time.Rowena's mouth dropped open at my words. Her eyes flickered to a pale shade of white, practically bugging out
LILYI stayed put in the room, afraid to go anywhere else and encounter strange and unfriendly people. I can't believe Denver just left like that, did I do something wrong? He's been gone for so long and I don't know if I should go search for him, or just hang out in here until he comes looking for me.It took me some time to calm down after everything that happened between us. I can't help but feel guilty; almost like it was all my fault he reacted that way. I'm just not ready to go that far with someone; mate or not. Denver's voice keeps replaying in my mind. Every time I shut my eyes, he's there in my head. All I see are his beautiful blue eyes gazing lovingly into mine, then switching back and forth to something entirely different. I need to see him, I need him to come back for me! I can't sit here and wait any longer. I can't just wait to see if he hates me or not; it's eating at me too much!"I'm sorry Madam, I didn't see you," A voice called from the other side of the room.I j
LILYTorin walked down many hallways with me hanging over his shoulder. Lots of people stopped to take a look at me- mostly guys. Whenever a girl would stop I would get a dirty look, but when a guy would stop, eyes of lust were directed my way. I bent around to see that my shorts had ridden up to exposed the bottom half of my ass.There it was, half of it hanging out in all its glory for everyone to see. On top of that, my white cotton shirt keeps going up from me being hung upside down. No wonder guys keep looking at me like that; I'm practically half exposed! I just hope Torin walks quicker so I can just see my brother, apologize and get the hell out of here."In here please," A voice guided Torin into a room, stepping in with me over his shoulder still. "The Alpha will be here momentarily," And like that, a pair of doors shut and left us alone.I bit my lip nervously at the thought of how this is going to go. Timothy will hopefully see me exposed, kill Torin and then proceed to loc
LILYLetting go of the tree to face the voice. A tall man stood near the trees, his long black hair shining under the moonlight. I scanned his body up and down and decided I have no chance with taking this strong, scary man on. His black eyes bore into mine and I felt frozen with fear just looking at the man."What's your name?" His question came out more like a demand with his cold, deep voice.I took a gulp, trying to get my thoughts together and open my mouth, but I couldn't. I stood there dumbfounded by him and my mind couldn't pull anything out to say. I just stared at him with wide eyes and a shaky body.He smiled at the sight of my fear and I cringed as he took a few steps forwards. "You're far from your pack Lily Shaw," He spoke, inching closer and closer to me.My mouth dropped in shock. "H-how do you know w-who I am?" I asked with a shaky, breathless voice. My body still recovering from all the uncommon exercise I forced on it.Stopping only inches away from my body, he lean
LILY"Lily!" Mabel squealed through my mind link."Ugh, what?" I asked her, more than annoyed from being confined in this tiny room that seems to grow smaller with each passing day.I've been stuck in this room for four days, ten hours and 8 minutes and I've completely lost it. I do nothing all day, but sit here and play with make up or something. I have no television, cell phone; not even a laptop or computer. Timothy thinks I'll look into something or get ideas, but I honestly think he wants me to go crazy."You found your mate?!" Mabel questioned, her voice filled with joy and excitement."I don't wanna talk about it," I mumbled back to her, hoping that's good enough for her to back off."No! Lando told me what happened, but where have you been?" She asked with worry."Look Mabel, I'm done. Love, mates, everything like that is just out the window... I give up," I sighed, losing my last bit of pride left as I explained to my best friend how weak I truly am.Mabel was silent for awhi
