Alpha Anders
Time went by too slowly. Grey wouldn’t stop talking about having dinner with Harley. Admittedly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was funny, because on the surface, Harley wasn’t like any of the she-wolves I had dated or the ones that I was typically attracted to. And when I say on the surface, that was exactly what I meant. Probably stereotypical of me, but I had typically been attracted to tall, busty blondes. Harley was tall, but that was where it ended. She had long, black hair, similar to my own. Her eyes were the brightest blue, and I could only imagine that they would get even brighter as she actually started eating and being able to take care of herself. It seemed like her time as an omega at the Crimson River Pack was not good and she was not able to care for herself like she should have.
I could tell just from looking at Harley that she was muscular, despite it being diminished due to the lack of regular exer
Harley The Alpha gently ran his thumb across the knuckles. “Please, Harley, call me Anders.” Anders spoke quietly.“Anders, are you my mate?” I nervously asked, the pressure in my head becoming nearly overwhelming. I had to know if Anders knew something that I did not. Thoughts of having a mate ran through my head. Was Anders my mate? What if he wasn’t my mate? Over the last year, I found myself thinking about a mate and what it would be like to have one, mostly because I had the time to think about it. It wasn’t until I was being held as an omega that I had a moment to pause and think. I spent most of the time worrying about Coral, but in other moments, I thought about my mate. I would have never thought that my mate could be an Alpha, but now it seemed possible.Anders took my hand, kissing the top of it gently. “Honestly, I am not sure. I would think that Grey would know, but my wolf does not know. I f
AndersI sat in awe, watching Harley kicked Caroline out of the office. While I wasn’t directly impacted by Harley’s command, I couldn’t ignore the fact that her command held strength. It wasn’t an Alpha command, but it definitely had some power to it. I looked up at my Beta, who could clearly feel the force behind the command. Brett was also in the room, as was Mark, and I could see that all of them could feel the tone in Harley’s voice.Brett, who had been sitting across from me, stood and moved towards the office door, opening it as Caroline left the office. No one said a word as Caroline left. Brett took his seat back across from me.I looked up at Harley. She shrugged and smiled at me before moving and sitting in the chair next to Brett. For as much as I wanted to say something to Harley about what just happened, it didn’t seem like it was needed.“Harley, why don’t you begin by telling us wher
HarleyI sat at the kitchen table, my mind racing. Romy had left to go meet Sarah and bring her to the packhouse. I could not stop the thoughts that were running circles in my mind. The idea of having my wolf back after a year left me reeling. What was she going to say once she came back? Did she know if Anders was my mate? How long was it going to take for her to come back once I took the elixir?The questions were spinning for so long in my head that I didn’t notice Anders walk in.“Are you okay?” He asked, breaking me from my thoughts. I looked up at him, startled by his presence.“Yes, I am okay. Just excited about finally getting my wolf back.” I looked up at Anders, smiling. This man was the epitome of a gorgeous Alpha. The idea of having him want me was something that I could not fully comprehend. How could someone like him want to be with someone like me? He could have any she-wolf that he w
With each step that Anders took upstairs, my core tightened and a nervous energy started to build within me. The extent of my experiences had seriously been no more than kissing someone. Andes was the first person I had ever felt so attracted to. The kissing yesterday, outside of a random kiss a few years back, was really all the experience I had. The few times that I had pleasured myself had been quite enjoyable, but I knew that they would be nothing compared to to what was about to happen.‘Harley, don’t be so nervous. Anders is going to make this a very enjoyable night.’ My wolf spoke in an attempt to calm me down. I appreciated the effort, but I felt as if I was about to freak out.‘Senna, I don’t want to mess this up. What if I am terrible? Or what if it hurts too much? What if he asks me to give him a blow job and I hav
Anders I had never slept so well in my entire life. Waking up next to Harley was the best feeling. Grey was beyond content as was I. I could not wait until we had Coral safe and we could move forward with the Luna ceremony. I looked over at Harley, expecting to see her asleep, but she wasn’t. The shade of her eyes told me that she was in conversation with her wolf. This was not surprising; I am sure that they had a lot to talk about. From what Grey had told me, Senna had been present the entire time that she was suppressed, so she was well aware of everything that Harley had gone through over the last year. Grey was already so smitten with Senna. He described her as sassy and powerful, similar to how I expected Harley to be. I knew that the Harley that I had interacted with was only part of w
HarleyThe ride out to the Green Valley Pack was brutally long. Although just a few hours away, the drive felt as if it was going on for an eternity. And, having Anders sitting next to me, holding my hand, rubbing my thigh, and otherwise touching me, was not helping the situation. The mate bond was an interesting and intoxicating thing. I had never been so turned on and felt so close to someone in my entire life. It was an amazing feeling. It was somewhat strange to feel an instant connection to someone, but that was how this worked. Once you met your Goddess given mate and the mate bond snapped into place, it was as if you feel instantly madly and deeply in love.Of course, that didn’t mean that it always worked out as one would hope, but that was rare. Sometimes, it took some time for the mate bond to really take hold due to significant differe
Harley“I have alerted the patrol that Coral is here and that she will be leaving with us shortly.” Anders stated as he came up to stand behind me. He placed his hands on my shoulders and I put my head on his chest.“As soon as her wolf is back, we will leave.” Raina replied, turning back towards Coral. “Let us know if you feel anything.” I looked up at the clock. It has been about an hour and a half. Senna had taken over two hours to return, so I knew that this could not be rushed.“It started off as a whisper for me but I couldn’t make it out. Then suddenly, she rushed back and I had her back completely. I am sure it is different for everyone.” I took Coral’s hand. There was a lot of tension in the air, each of us concerned with Coral’s
AndersGrey was on edge the entire ride back to the Red Moon Pack. The feeling didn’t subside even after an enjoyable night with Harley after getting back. The looming threat was nagging at me. It felt like there was a piece missing, but I wasn’t sure what it was. I was usually good about picking up on the clues in these types of situations and my gut feelings were almost always right. My dad had taught me to trust my instinct, but this situation felt as if there was too much unknown. We had no information about the threat, just that there was one. I wasn’t sure if they would be attacking or just trying to kidnap Coral, and all of it was pissing me off.I sat in my office, waiting for my Beta and Harley to come to the office so we could discuss what we knew, which wasn’t much of anything.
HarleyA few days laterHealing had gone well for me, but slower for Anders. He was hoping the doctor would release him to regular activity today. I was adamant that nothing was going to take place between us until the doctor said he was better. Anders tried to run the pack border just yesterday, but was faced with a good bit of pain, and didn’t even make it halfway around the border. That didn’t mean that I didn’t want to do something with Anders. Senna had been driving me crazy with the images she kept sending me. I definitely knew that the need to bond with the mate after the mating ceremony was very, very strong after the last few days. If Anders wasn’t healed soon, I might not be able to keep shutting Anders down. We had a meeting scheduled with the Council today, which was taking place at the Red Wolf Compound. The Council had determined that it was safer to keep the prisoners at our prison, rather than trying to relocate them. Apparently, Alpha Lorenzo had more reach than we r
HarleyCoral stood next to me as I approached the small group of wolves surrounding Anders. Callan, following the touch from Raina, had moved to the side, allowing me access to Anders. Senna told me that he was healing well, and the fact that he was conscious as I approached put my mind at ease and my heart relaxed. “Harley, are you okay? Were you shot?” Anders asked, pushing up off the ground. I smiled weakly at him, placing my hand on his chest. I could feel the concern through the mate bond. And, even though it sounded stupidly cliche, it almost felt as if I could feel the warmth in my own heart from the mate bond. “I am okay, Anders, I promise. But I have something that I must take care of.” I stood back up, turning towards Alpha Carlson and Alpha Lorenzo. The field was eerily quiet. There was not even a breeze noted and the trees stood, unmoving. It was as if Coral’s command had made everything stand still. I am not sure what exactly Coral had done, but slowly our wolves were b
Harley My heart was pounding so loudly and deeply that I could feel it in my head. The pain that I could feel was almost too much and I knew that Anders was hurt badly. As much as I wanted to run to him and check that he was safe, I knew that I needed to get back inside. I turned around, Coral still behind me. “What is going on?” She asked as I made my way back towards the compound. Her voice held fear and uncertainty, and not just because she was a red wolf and could pick up on emotions. She was my sister and she knew me better than anyone. She knew that something was not right. The tears started running down my face as I spoke. “Anders is hurt, very badly, but there is a threat in the compound.” My voice caught in my throat, Anders pain becoming my own. “There are two new she-wolves who are a threat. We need to find them.” I approached the closest guardian wolf, diverting from entering the compound. “I need to know that every red wolf is accounted for. Also, I need a report on t
AndersMy thoughts were split, broken almost, as I thought about Harley, my mom, my uncle, Brett, and the fighting that was going on around me. There was also the nagging of thought of my need to protect the red wolf. It was also too much as I tried to concentrate on what was going on around me. This fighting was not well organized and the use of weapons added an additional layer of danger. I had not doubt in the abilities of my fighters. Over the years, my dad had focused on not just training the guardian wolves, but our warriors as well. We always knew that there would be a greater threat to the Red Moon Pack because we housed the red wolves, and now, we were faced with that threat. “There is a group of rogues attacking from the west,” Neil broke through my thoughts as he communicated via mindlink. I dodged an attack, swiping one of my extended claws across the neck of a rogue who had lunged at me. He crumbled to the ground, the vile creature falling dead next to me as I looked ar
Harley For as quickly as Raina stopped the attack and Brett and the scouts took out the rogues, time now seemed to standstill. All the previous events had happened in less than a minute, but now it felt as if each second was like minutes ticking by. Time seemed to completely stop as Raina collapsed next to her brother, Brett. I rushed to Raina’s side, the realization hitting me that, as the Luna, I would know if we had lost a pack member, and I did not feel that. Although my thoughts were all running through my head at a million miles an hour, I needed to steady myself. I needed to remain calm. Raina’s sobbing and grief and uncertainty rolling off of her told me that I had to be there for her. I placed my hand on Raina’s shoulder as I kneeled down next to her. I wasn’t sure if it would help or not, but I tried to exude a calmness, hoping that it would help wash over Raina. As I did, I took in Brett’s prone before me. There was a gunshot wound to the right side of
Harley The rain had started falling a few minutes ago and provided a nice reprieve from the silence in the car. After hearing from Anders and confirming that he was shot, my mind had gone into overdrive. Despite confirmation that he was okay, as well as reassurance from Raina that Alpha Callan had seen Anders and his wound, it still made me uneasy. ‘He will be okay,’ Senna broke me from my thoughts. ‘Grey is healing him and he will be fine.’ I sighed, leaning my head against the window. ‘I know. But guns? Weapons are rarely used in our fighting. Who the fuck decides that we need to use weapons? It is almost taboo.’ Senna retreated back, and I could sense that she was communicating with Grey. I took comfort in knowing that Senna and Grey had a
Chapter 30AndersDid I really tell her that I loved her? And did she really say it back? I could not believe that I had said it already, but I couldn’t stop myself from saying it. Knowing that we were getting ready for a battle that only a few days ago was not even a second thought, I felt like I needed to say it. While we had already mated, the first mating after the mating ceremony was powerful and erotic. If a couple had mated before the mating ceremony, it was said to be an even more pleasurable experience.Battle always led to unknowns, and while I did not doubt my ability to protect my pack and those around me, you could not be cocky. You could not assume that you would take the threat easily. It was those cases that led to injury and, in some cases, death. The ever looming threat of death was wha
Harley“Everything okay?” Raina asked after we had been driving for several minutes. I had not spoken since entering the car, aside from asking Talia how she was feeling. While I knew that, deep down, Anders was simply looking out for my wellbeing, the fact that he even thought of using an Alpha tone on me was beyond insulting. I know that Alphas do use it. Hell, I knew that Anders used it when Caroline was in his office and wouldn’t leave. That didn’t mean, however, that he had any right to use it with me.Senna was seething. We were Anders’ mate. His partner. His Luna. All of this made us equals. I shook my head as Senna continued to go on and on about how pissed off she was and how pissed off I should be. I was pissed off, but Senna continually going on and on about it was nearly maddening. I just wanted to sit and t
Harley“I think I can hear you. I am just east of where you are. If you keep moving,” I was cut off from Anders as I was hit from the side.‘Jefferson,’ Senna seethed. I rolled from the hit, finding my footing about ten feet away from where I was hit. I looked over at the Beta, a feeling of disdain running through me. When I was forced to be an omega, I hated the pack and I hated the Beta, but now that Senna was present, the feeling was magnified one hundred fold. I did not doubt that I would do anything that I needed to protect myself.“Harlow. Nice to see you again. Although I will say, I wish that it was different circumstances.” Jefferson took a step towards me and a deep growl escaped my lips, Senna hanging just below the surface.
