2024-10-29 19:42:56The drive to the Crimson River Pack was scenic and fairly quiet. Aside from the little bit of strategic planning that took place at the start of the drive, the rest was quiet. Callan, Raina, and Talia were in the SUV with me while Eric, Jason, and Michael were all in the other vehicle.
We pulled over about 20 minutes from the packhouse to ensure both former Alphas were on the same page for planning. My dad and uncle often took different approaches for addressing these types of matters, and although I would be in charge of the discussion, having both Alpha Callan and Alpha Michael present, in addition to myself, would be a bit intimidating.
“I hear you have been having some lady trouble.” Michael stated as we moved to the space between the two cars. I could only shake my head.
“You had to tell him?” I asked, looking over at Jason and Eric.
Jason shrugged. “What can I say? He asked and I wasn’t going to lie to him.”

“Who is this person, Harlow, to you?” I asked Jeremy as we headed out to the vehicles. Jeremy had just finished providing us with directions to the location that he believed Harlow would be leaving the rocky, wooded area.Jeremy took a deep breath and sighed. “I just wanted her to get out. I know this place isn’t great and that we shouldn’t have omegas. I do what I can to help some of them get out of here when they can. Harlow tried to escape twice before. I knew she wanted to leave and now was the right time. I just want to make sure she is safe. Please let me know if you find her.”We left the Delta in front of the packhouse and headed out. My wolf was on edge. I could feel Grey pacing back and forth. Something about this situation was causing him to feel uneasy, and I couldn’t deny the fact that I was right there with him. I was surprised that the feeling didn’t manifest itself during the interactions with

I slept in fits and starts last night. After returning back to the packhouse with Harley, the doctors were able to get her stable. The doctor was able to set both her leg and her shoulder. Her leg was placed in a cast and her arm was secured against her body to keep her shoulder in place. The doctor had administered a medication that was supposed to help with the suppression of her wolf, but after no significant changes were noted, I forced myself to bed. Yesterday was a long and exhausting day, and I was hoping that a good night’s rest would bring better news in the morning.As I stumbled out of bed, I stopped when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked rough. Dark circles ringed my eyes, the telltale sign that I didn’t get enough sleep. Although I didn’t make it to bed until 2:30 this morning, and it was only 6:45, that was typically more than enough sleep for me to be rested. Except sleep eluded me, and I probably slept no more than an hour

HarleyA soft bed cradling me was the first thing that I felt as I began to wake up. The last thing that I remembered was the cold rain and excruciating pain. My shoulder and leg had been severely injured and as I laid on the ground, the hopelessness of the situation crept in and I cried. I knew that I was someplace that no one would stumble upon me and that I was going to die. I had not cried since my mom died, but I could not stop the tears. I cried mostly for my sister, knowing that I would not be able to protect her. I cried because I didn’t know where she was, and I didn’t know if she was safe. I cried because I would never get to see her again.As I slowly started to regain consciousness, I realized that I was not dead. The bed surrounding me and the sensation of medical equipment attached to me told me that I was no longer outside. I froze for a moment, fearful that I was back at the Crimson River Pack and that I had not been successfu

Alpha AndersI sat down at my desk, raking my hands down my face.‘I like her. We should date her.’ Grey spoke, the first substantial conversation we had since we found Harley.‘Really? That is what you start with? She is injured and looking for her sister and the first thing you tell me is that we should date her?’ I didn’t understand my wolf most of the time.‘Yep. That is what I started with because I like her. You should like her as well. She is great.’ Grey spoke, matter of factly. What the hell was up with my wolf?‘I do like her. Probably more than I should for just meeting her.’ I mumbled, leaning my elbows forward on my knees.I stood, looking out the window and over the training field. My sister, Romy, was leading a small group of young she-wolves in training. I could tell by the movements that they were practicing defensive action. Many people d

Harley“Tell me about your sister.” Talia was nearly jumping up and down. After she came in and made sure that I was okay and feeling better, she moved on to talking about Coral and the time that we spent over the last year trying to make our way to the compound. Talia’s hair was a bright red. While Cora’s hair was a deep red, Talia’s hair was a bright shade of red that she kept long, nearly reaching her lower back. It was left down, nearly wild but somehow controlled at the same time. It reminded me of the red wolf itself.

Alpha Anders growled and Neil rolled his eyes. I knew that I was missing something, judging by the look exchanged between the Alpha and the Beta. “Enter.” Alpha Anders stated, curtly. A very busty she-wolf entered. She looked at me briefly before turning to the Alpha.“Alpha Anders? I was hoping that, if you had time, we could talk? I would like to apologize for my behavior yesterday.” The she-wolf was wearing too much makeup and too much perfume. Her dress was a bit short and tight. And I didn’t like her in the Alpha’s office. I

Alpha AndersTime 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

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
Alpha Anders Chapter 34
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
Alpha Anders Chapter 33
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
Alpha Anders Chapter 31
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.
