It was Friday night and I was in bed about to enter a serene state of mind. Tomorrow we had a meeting with Alpha Styles and his son Landon. I was about to close my eyes when Jerry startled me, ‘Ivan, are you asleep?’What the hell? ‘No, but I’m in bed trying to do exactly that. What is it?!’ I asked.I then heard a soft knock on the door, ‘It’s me, let me in, I have crucial information to tell you!?’ He whispered-yelled.I got up and put on my basketball shorts and opened the door. “Dude…do you know what time I have to get up tomorrow?” I asked as I yawned and rubbed my face up and down irritated.He walked in, “Well make yourself at home.” I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. “What Jerry, what is it?” His mannerisms triggered my wolf and I suddenly became concerned.“So remember we talked about Beta Taylor's estranged wife?” “Yeah, what about her?” I sat down on my couch.“Dude, he killed her when he captured her. Apparently, she never told him about their daughter’s whereabouts and h
We walked into the dining room and Connor sat at the head of the table while Landon and Angel sat next to him on his right side. Dad, Raul, and I sat on the left side, Raul sitting next to me. Dad was across from Landon and I was sitting across from Angel. Angel smiled slightly, but I didn’t return the gesture. His face then became impassive glaring at me. I couldn’t pretend to be nice to this fool after learning what he did to his mate. I don’t condone violence on women unless she is a rogue and they are trying to kill you. There had to be a damn good reason for Natalie’s mom to leave him. A mate just doesn't get up and leave without logic. Connor cleared his throat causing me to drive my eyes away from Angel. “So Ivan, have you found your mate yet?” Connor asked. “No sir,” I simply replied. “He hasn’t but he thinks he has an idea of who she is. Isn’t that right son?” Dad said arrogantly. Seriously!? The nerve of my Father sharing my business. I gave him a side glance and fist
I was running so fast that I could hardly feel my paws hitting the ground. I ran through the hills covered by thick forest, gliding past the trees as they became a blur with only one focus on my mind…get there faster than a speeding bullet, there was no time to waste.The closer I got to town, I could feel the connection to all my fellow pack members. But then there it was…individual links breaking due to their sudden death. Striker howled.The moment I set foot there, the scene was something you saw in a war movie. Blood, body parts, and organs from our pack members and rogues everywhere. My heart thundered in my chest.‘MOM, LESLIE, AXEL, JERRY, CAMILA, ANSWER ME!’ I yelled through the pack link.Landon and the warrior running with me started fighting. I ran inside the pack house searching for anybody when a black wolf hit me on the right side of my torso. I got right back up on all fours and lunged forward, ripping his neck out. I helped other warriors fight off rogues making my wa
“Nothing is permanent. Everything is temporary just like the people in our lives, our thoughts, our emotions, and our pain. There is a saying that the only thing permanent is love because the love in your heart will last forever…” I cleared my throat because even swallowing at this very moment has become difficult for me to do.“Each and every one of you has lost a loved one…a mate, a child, a friend, a sibling, a parent, and most importantly…” I took a deep breath, “...your Luna.” Everyone gasped. If people weren’t crying before, they now joined the rest of the pack. Heads bowed down and they all began to get on their knees. My mother was theirs as well. She was the Mother and the heart of the pack.Camila told me she fought hard, but there were too many rogues to fend off. Camila and Jerry are damn good fighters so I know they fought vigorously. They loved my family as their own. She had such a close relationship with her and loved her like a mother. She had also lost her mother, L
I ran as fast as I could. Landon followed. People were puzzled by my abrupt behavior but then noticed that our pack members started to howl. I mind-linked Axel telling him to take over and to announce to the visitors that the Alpha was awake and that he just found out his mate was dead. The moment I got there, I came to a room filled with chaos. My Father’s cry was excruciating. I’ve never heard him wailing in such anguish and grief. I ran to his side reaching for his arms. He had already fought off some warriors and the doctor. I shook my head and yelled out “FATHER!” He looked up and the pain in his eyes was visible. It hurt to see him this way. “SON! PLEASE…PLEASE TELL ME IT’S NOT TRUE! SAY IT!!!” He shouted, gripping my shirt. The tears flooded racing down his cheeks. My heart clenched. I gathered myself and looked him in the eyes. “Father…Mom…she’s gone. I’m so sorry, I didn’t make it in time.” The trepidation overtook him and he let out a deafening howl. This was my firs
~Landon’s POV~Thanksgiving was tomorrow and I wasn't looking forward to the family gathering. People were hurting elsewhere and it only made this holiday sad. I thought about Ivan’s pack and how depressed the upcoming holidays were going to be without their loved ones. It’s not fair to lose someone because of others' villainous intentions. Not all rogues are bad, but those that chose not to care anymore and not give a damn about the lives of others, they’re the ones we need to worry about and get rid of. Even humans become victims of their attacks.My stepmother was getting the food prepared early, making sure she was ahead of schedule. I guess it was better to be safe than sorry. She had plenty of help though making it easier for her. She has a kind heart and the omegas love her."Hey bro, you ok? I've noticed you haven't been the same since the attack at the Midnight Pack," Remi asked. I was sitting in the living room staring at the wall. I guess I zoned out.I exhaled, "I'm okay
~Angel’s POV~ (Phone ringing) I pushed off the sl*t from on top of me, and she groaned. I reached for my phone and frowned at the person calling me. I answered and told him to hold on. I got up and stepped away making sure the little minx on my bed couldn’t hear. “What is it?” I said through my teeth. “Is that the way to speak to your friend?!” The unknown stranger says. I grunted, “We’re not friends.” “You wound me…(he chuckled). Need I remind you why I’m calling? When are we going to get rid of Styles and his family? I’m getting impatient here. You want to be Alpha, don’t you, and I want part of his land. Isn’t this what we agreed to?!” “Calm the f*ck down. I know what we need and want. I need to get rid of Easton Carter’s family too once in for all! I want his land and pack. You can pick and choose the girls you want from his pack. Unfortunately, that stupid rogue attack was unsuccessful. Amy and Greg were killed. F*CK! Easton’s son is stronger than I thought.” I fisted my le
~Ivan’s POV~ Time sure flew by fast. Today was our last day of school and the first day of our winter break. The bell finally rang signaling 5th period class was over. I slowly grabbed my AP Physics book and other items placing them inside my backpack. I heard the door close and the lock clicks in place, ‘The f*ck…’ I lifted my gaze to the sexy woman smiling and staring at me seductively. Ms. Martinez was f*cking hot and was only 23 years old. She lifted her index finger and curled it signaling me to come over. So I obliged. I was inches away from her when her arousal hit me like a train. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the thick scent. I stood right in front of her waiting for her to make the first move because she was the teacher and I was the student. Striker was a goner. Even though he only wanted Natalie, it’s been a while since we’ve touched, kissed, or f*cked anyone. We were sexually frustrated. Taking the sight of her all in, I claimed her lips. I kissed her desperately and hard
