BonnieAfter a few more minutes of chatter, Gamma will escort half of the wolves outside the packhouse, while Beta Shane escorts the rest of us to our rooms in the packhouse. With such a high number of wolves staying here on top of those that already live here, there are a lot of people room sharing but it's only for one night, so I don't see how it will be a problem. Right now, I'm just exhausted and more than ready for a nap in a real bed.We are soon shown to our room, and I'll admit, considering this is just a quest room, it still takes my breath away. There's a massive bed running along the back wall that could easily sleep four people, maybe more. The walls are painted in an off-white color while the carpet, curtains, and accessories are all a deep red.Of to the sides, there are two doors which I assume lead to the bathroom and closet and there's a humongous TV on the bottom wall. I swear it has to be at least 70 inches big. The room itself is huge and more than big enough for
Alpha NicholasI ran. I saw my mate and I ran. I ran from her, and now I'm currently hiding in my office. I'm a coward and a bastard. What kind of Alpha am I? What kind of man and an Alpha, at that meets his mate and runs? And if that wasn't bad enough, she saw me, and I'm pretty sure she knew who I was. "She did. Her wolf sensed us. She knew we were their mates and you fucking ran!" This is the first time Storm has spoken to me since it happened almost 30 minutes ago. He is furious with me and I get it and I don't blame him for being mad."I'm sorry Storm, I am. But I can't... I just can't." Before he can reply, my office door flies open as pissed-looking Will and Shane stomp in. "What the fuck is going on? Is something wrong?" I was about to chew him a new ass for just storming in here, but I quickly realize that he's not only pissed but concerned, both of them are.I knock back the rest of the top-notch whiskey that I've been nursing this whole time and enjoy the burn as it slides d
BonnieHe ran, my mate saw me and ran, and the worst part of it all was that a small part of me felt shocked. Stupid girl! Growing up every wolf hears the stories of how mates meet, of how they have an instant love, instant connection and are immediately glued at the hip and yet my mate saw me and ran away from me like his ass was on fire and I allowed myself to be disappointed with that, why? Why did I do that to myself when let's be honest, both my wolf and I already knew that our mate wouldn't be interested in us so what just happened shouldn't be a surprise."Hmm, no way missy. You're the only one who thinks that, so don't drag me into your negative thoughts." Lexi practically growls causing my head to thump. Ok, so maybe she is right about that but so am I, because he did exactly what I knew he would, exactly what my family has always told me would happen. "Maybe it was just a shock and he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. Maybe he wasn't expecting to meet his mate tonight a
Alpha NicholasAfter two hours of playing nice and actively avoiding my mate, it's time for the sit-down meal part of the night and of course, I have to make a speech and I'm not looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong I love being Alpha and I love all of my pack members even more, and it's always an honor to have other packs go out of their way to come here but I just hate all the mindless conversations that I have to entire, and the times that I have to play nice with someone that I do not want to.I get on with most of the people that I come across in life but now and again I get a strange feeling towards someone, a feeling that they are bad and the worst part of it is that in the past, when it has happened, I have ended up being right about them. Tonight I have had the same feeling with two wolves that I have met, one of them being the Beta to a fucking pack. I got talking to him and another guy, a warrior in the same pack and I swear that they made my skin crawl. Don't get me wr
Alpha Nicholas"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" James growls. This fuckhead has rejected our Sophie because of her scar, is he fucking serious! The growl that leaves me shakes the ground below our feet and it takes all I have not to snap his fucking neck right here, right now. I wrap my arms around Sophie and feel her sag into my body. Poor girl! Her life hasn't been easy since that day, not only did she lose her 3 best friends but every time she looks in the mirror she sees her scar and she's reminded of that awful day... those dreadful memories. And now to have her mate reject her for something that isn't her fault? For him to take all of her pain and use it against her... hell no! That prick is going to be sorry.She starts to sob into my chest filling my veins with anger while I will myself to calm down before I completely lose my shit here in front of everyone. "Why's it such a big deal? Mates get rejected all the time. Sometimes it has to happen so we can have someone else, a
BonnieIn less than 30 minutes I've changed out of my dress and into an old pair of leggings and a loose tee shirt. I throw my hair up into a ponytail and stick on a baseball cap to help cover some of my face, and then stick on my old sneakers, they aren't very comfy but they are the best that I have right now. "You ready, Bon?" Lily's mind link startles me making Lexi laugh in my head. "Yes, I'll be out now." I grab my backpack and head for the door where she is waiting in the hallway for me, her clothes mirroring my own. She looks nervous but excited and I feel the same. What we're doing is a big risk, if we get caught we'll be in for a world of trouble and pain but if we get away with it and get away from everyone... Well, it will be amazing and worth all the risk."We need to stay positive, Lily. We're going to do this!" My voice sounds much more confident than I feel but it seems to somewhat relax my best friend so I go with it. I hold out my hand for her to take and give it a gen
Alpha NicholasAfter the shit show that went down between Sophie and that prick and all that business with meeting my mate, I struggled to get myself back into any kind of party mood which made things a nightmare. Add in the wanna-be future Luna's that I had to talk to and I think it's safe to say that the night was a complete right-off. I ended up being introduced to 23 She-Wolves open to chosen mates and not one of them did a thing for me. I don't want my own mate so why the fuck would I want a fake one? "You do want your mate, you're just being a stubborn prick about it!" Storm has been an absolute nightmare and I get it, I do but he's getting too much. "Not gonna stop!" I go to give him a shitty comment back but it's pointless, he's not going to quit.Although I will give it to the wolf, he was great at putting off the She-Wolves that we were talking to. We may not see eye to eye on the situation with our mate but we're definitely on the same page when it comes to not wanting any
LillyYou know that saying 'Life is a bitch then you die' well, those words couldn't be any more true than at this very moment. My whole life has been my very own version of hell and after my father moved my Mom and me to a new pack and away from our family, things only got worse. You see before we moved we were surrounded by family daily so my dad's abuse was just verbal, but once he moved us to our new pack, we were away from everyone we knew and loved, and that was when the abuse turned violent.My dad always says that he moved us here because my mother wanted a fresh start but I don't believe that for a second. If I had to guess, I would say that he moved us here to allow his abuse to escalate without family members being able to get involved. He's a nasty bully and I'm almost certain that he was the reason for my mom's death.Meeting Bonnie was a lifeline but to find out that she was also abused at home was heartbreaking. She is such an incredible person and I was blessed the mom
BonnieThe moment Nick told me what had happened or better still, what had been said my heart instantly doubled its pace. There's a chance that we may have found those baby boys and I couldn't be any happier. Of course, I know that there's a chance that there has been a mistake made somewhere or even a chance that someone thinks they have spotted them and it'll turn out not to be them but still, any little scrap of hope that I can grab onto I will.Nick took off running for his office and I promised to follow right behind him. I know that hell needs a few minutes alone with his men before I can join them. Not that he would stop me going right on in with him but I don't want to impose. Besides, right now I have something just as important that I need to see first."Come sit with me, sweetheart." I guide Lottie over to the seat that I was sitting on with Rosie just a few minutes ago and take a deep breath. She may not think that I noticed the fact that she called me her stepmom but I di
BonnieOne month later "How are you doing, sweetie?" I take a seat on the grey suede window seat next to Rosie as she stares out of the window that looks over the South side of our packlands and forest. Over the past month, we have become incredibly close and in that time she has told me a lot about her life and the life of her little boys and my heart breaks for all that she has been through, for all that she is still going through.I always thought that my life was unfair, that I had been cursed in some way but when I think of the things that Rosie has been through hell, my life has been a breeze in comparison. How can one girl suffer so much? I love the moon goddess, I do. She's the mother of our creation but sometimes... sometimes I wonder how she can let such cruel things happen to wolves as sweet as Rosie. She would give anyone her last cent. Would bend over backwards to help any soul on this earth and yet all she's been handed is pain after pain."It's been one month today, on
Alpha NicholasI've been in my office for almost 2 hours but you wouldn't think it, I've gotten barely any paperwork done because despite my best efforts, my mind keeps going back to last night and this morning with my mate. Last night we finally marked. Yes, I know it hasn't been that long since we met and even less time since we mated but most mates mark each other within the first day or two so in comparison we took our time but I'm ok with that.To be honest, with how I treated her in the beginning I'm just happy and honoured that she allowed me to mark her at all. I had hoped that we were heading in that direction but I thought she was going to make me wait a lot longer but once again she surprised me. If there's one thing that I'm learning about my mate it's that she doesn't mess around, she doesn't play games and it's something that I very much appreciate.Mating her was without a doubt the most incredible experience of my life, and it will be a memory that I'm never going to f
BonnieI slowly start waking up and groan as I stretch out my aching muscles. Last night's activities with Nicky have left me feeling like I've run a weekend-long marathon but I wouldn't have it any other way. Finally mating with him was the most amazing experience of my life.I know that he's said that he wants me but saying it and showing it are two completely different things so having him want his mark on me for the whole world to see means more than words can say.I look over to his side of the bed to find him gone and sadness instantly washes over me. I thought that he would be here the morning after we mated, I thought that we would have stayed in bed a little while but I guess not.I understand he has responsibilities and while I'm proud of the Alpha that he is it doesn't mean that there won't be times that I want him with me but he can't be, just like right now I guess.I stretch one final time before getting out of bed. As much as I love the memories from last night, the sti
Alpha NicholasOnce I have her completely naked I wedge myself in between her legs and lean back on my hunches so that I can admire the sight that's before me. She is perfect in every single way and I was a fucking fool to think that I could ever have walked away from her. "I'm the only one naked." Her cheeky smile makes me smirk. “Is that so?” I ask as I begin to slowly run my hands up and down her legs. She nods as she bites her lip and I swear that sight alone makes my knees feel weaker.“And what do you propose we do about that? Hmm?" Her cheeks go a beautiful shade of pink as she once again bites down on her lip. She's shy and I get that. I'm her first in everything that we do and while I love it I also know that she's going to be shy while she's learning but that's ok because I'll soon get her out of that. I'll soon have her asking... even begging me for what she wants and I can't wait for that.This once I decide to give her a break and swiftly peel away my towel so that we are
Alpha NicholasAs much as I wanted to head straight to my mate, I needed to shower more. There was blood splatter on me from that pathetic ass Rowan and I knew that their scents would be on me too and I didn't want Bonnie to pick up on that. I don't want any part of them near her again.It's the first shower that I have taken on my own since the day that Bonnie and I first mated and I can honestly say that I don't like it. Showering without her fine ass is just boring and something that I plan on doing as little as possible. Thankfully it doesn't take me long to get myself clean and out of there and the moment I do I pick up on my mate's scent. She's outside the door and if im reading her emotions right, she's nervous. She doesn't know whether to come in here or not and while I can't help but find it cute as fuck, I decided to help her."Get your pretty little ass in here, mate." The door slowly opens and as always the sight of her takes my breath away. "How did you know that I was th
BonnieAfter I left the shed and left my entire family behind to die Will took me to the lounge room in the pack house where Lily, Sophie, Rosie, and Lottie were all sitting around and talking. There are several guards outside of the room and I understand why. These men are protective of their mates and they needed to know that their mates would be safe while they were busy with their 'guests'. As soon as Will knew that I was ok he said his goodbyes and headed back to the shed. I know that he was eager to get back to those assholes and not miss anything so I made sure not to keep him any longer than necessary.For a little while, I just sat there thinking over everything. I saw my entire family tied up and didn't feel anything. I knew that they were going to die painfully and I didn't feel anything. I saw my entire family for the last time and I didn't feel anything, not any of the emotions that I should have anyway. No anger, no sadness, nothing.If I had to pick a word to describe h
Alpha NicholasIf her words hurt Lily then she's doing a great job at hiding it. However, Shane is struggling to hold everything in. "Say what you want blue, I honestly don't give a fuck! You're going to pay for your sins and I'm more than happy to help you along.""She's boring me now. End her baby girl and we'll head out for dinner," Shane shouts encouraging Lily while also making her laugh. She gives him a nod before moving and only stopping once she's right in front of Blue. "Your problem, Blue, is you tend to underestimate people. You think that I won't end you but you're so fucking wrong. While I may not be as evil as you and may not have it in me to torture you as you deserve, don't think for one second that I don't have it in me to end you. Now, say goodbye because you are done!""Sure, Lily. Sure." Blue rolls her eyes but they soon widen with shock when Lily grips her head in a firm hold before twisting it hard and snapping her neck. Her head rolls to the side, the life in he
Alpha NicholasRowan's head is covered in a layer of sweat and his breathing is erratic and yet, all I've done so far is punch him just once. If he has that amount of fear from just one punch then Goddess help him when I start on him. "Would you like to tell me why you've always been such a prick to my mate?"He looks at his dad before turning back to me seeming confused, not that I have a clue why. "Your mate? Are you seriously going to accept her? Are you kidding me? Why would you do that? You're an Alpha and you deserve so much better than that poor excuse of a mutt!"Wrong fucking thing to say. I pull my arm back and land another hard hit to his stomach only this time I don't stop. I keep punching him time and time again raining blow after blow to his stomach, ribs, chest, arms and face. My vision is a wall of anger and I can't see past it. His grunts get louder as my hits get harder. My final hit breaking his nose and causing blood to splatter everywhere. Good I hope it fucking h
