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
Bonnie"MATE!"Excuse me... The moment I hear that word coming from Lily my head snaps in her direction. I'm in so much shock that I can't seem to say a word but then I realize that I've only heard her say the word and no one else. "I don't understand..." Gamma James takes the words right out of my mouth and I'm pretty sure everyone else's too. "Mate! Where is my mate?" Lilly's wolf Rain is pissed but I get it."Well, it ain't me," James says."Nor me. Although that is a shame" Will grunts."Not me." My mate says making me want to roll my eyes."Aint me either." The guy who hauled Lily in says."I don't get it. I can smell my mate and feel slight tingles running through my body but I know he isn't here." Poor Lilly sounds confused and sad as she starts walking over to the other side of the room seeming to zone out. "What the hell is going on?" James grunts. Before anyone else can say another word a loud growl echoes from the hallway and just seconds later the door is once away swung o
Alpha NicholasTonight has been up there with a fucking tornado. From hosting a ball to being forced to meet wanna-be future Lunas to finding my mate, all of which I didn't want then to add on being woken out of bed to hear of She-wolves running around our lands at 1 in the morning, And if that wasn't enough, one of those girls just so happened to be my mate and the other my brother's mate.Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly happy for my brother. I know he's wanted his mate for a long time but what a shit situation for it to happen in, and what are the odds that his mate would be my mate's best friend? Shockingly, that's what! I know there's more to his mate's story and I have a feeling that there's going to be some work to be done to help her, but she's family now and there's nothing we won't do to help her.My mate and her best friend trying to run off is also the reason that I now find myself sitting in my office at 2 in the morning with my mate on the other side of my desk looking
Bonnie The moment the door closes I let the tears fall. I meant every word that I said to my mate. I do understand that it doesn't always work. Sometimes a wolf finds their mate but doesn't want them, other times there is a chosen mate that they would rather and there's also the rare occasion where a wolf doesn't want a mate at all, and while I don't think that is the case for Alpha Nicholas given that he's an Alpha and they are much more possessive of mates, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the first and second option when it comes to my mate. I wouldn't be surprised at him not wanting me and I'm almost certain that there's more to him and that she-wolf that he was helping at the ball.Regardless of what his reasoning is I just want him to be happy and if that means him rejecting me then I'm ok with that, it just means that I need to figure out a new plan for my life. Sadness washes over me as I think of my life without Lily but she's got her Mate now and I couldn't be anymore happie
Alpha Nicholas"Nicky! Nicky. Where are you?" I jump as my brother's voice booms in my pounding head. I sit up and instantly wince at the stiffness in my neck. Where the hell am I? I look around quickly remembering sitting in my office after my mate left and the two empty whiskey bottles explain why my head feels like it's been used as a punching bag. "Jeusu fuck!" I grunt as I stretch and stand up before heading to the bathroom attached to my office. I need a piss and a shower. Luckily for me, I keep spare clothes in there too for emergencies."Nick. Fucking answer!" Shit, I forgot that Will was linking me. "What do you want?" He laughs making my head rattle and I just wanna punch him. "Oh, I see someone is extra grumpy today. Where the fuck are you? I've been banging on your door for ages." Great! "I'm in my office, ended up falling asleep in here.""Well, get the fuck up here, it's almost 9." Fuck I don't think I've ever slept that late before. He must be wrong. I walk over to my ph
Warrior Robbie"Robbie, how's it going that end?" Shane's voice slams into my head as I try to catch my breath after taking down another wolf. I'm not sure how long we've been fighting but it has been a hard fight that's for sure. While we have numbers on our side and have quite a few more fighters than them, most of them were hard fuckers and it took a lot to take them down.Unfortunately for them, we're well-trained. We have some of the best fighters that I have ever known and more than anything, we are relentless, and no matter how hard it is or how long it takes we will end every single one of these good-for-nothing disgusting sad excuses for wolves.Being a wolf I have had to face a few battles over my lifetime and I've been in more than my fair share of fights but never have I felt anger like I do today. Yes, we have cleared out more than one of these camps over the years but earlier today when Nick told us that there was another one of these camps and that Tony's boys was here,
Alpha NicholasI get to the opening of this hellhole and haul myself up to find around 20 of my men standing around the entire doorway protecting it while another 20 or so are waiting to help us move the women and children, and I'm instantly filled with pride. I doubt that most of the men even know why they are here, but it hasn't stopped them from coming here and being ready to guard and fight.It then hits me that I can't hear any fighting. The place is eerily quiet with just the hush of small voices talking, and it has me quickly scanning my surroundings. "They're all down, Alpha. Well, everyone except for the Alpha of the pack. We managed to keep him alive, and he's secure in the back of an SUV." Ryan says as he comes to stand beside me."Perfect!" I chime. Even though my instruction was to take everyone down, all of my men also knew that if the man/woman that was running this place could be captured rather than killed, then that was to be done. "I look forward to having a chat wit
Alpha NicholasHow the fuck have we found ourselves in this position? I swear the goddess must have a sick sense of humour at times. Between my pack members and the newest mates that have been found recently, we have had nothing but no-stop drama for the last goddess only knows how many months.Why can't we catch a break? Why does trouble have to keep knocking on our door? Don't get me wrong, I don't blame any of them for the trouble that has come with them, it's not their fault and most of the time it's been caused but sorry excuses for wolves but still... I need a break.I just want to go back to my pack, grab my mate and daughter and fuck off to my cabin in the middle of the woods and not step foot outside of it for at least a month, but I can't because im the Alpha, and the members of my pack are my responsibility and my family and I won't ever let any of them go through something alone, not unless they request it. Hell, who am I kidding, even if they said they wanted to deal with
Alpha Nicholas The sight before me is so surreal that for a moment I wonder if im seeing things. "Tony, get down here now. Everyone else stands guard. No one enters here without my permission!" I shout up to the others who are still above ground. The sounds of "Yes, Alpha" echo through the small opening while Tony practically jumps through the doorway missing most of the steps on the ladder on his way down."What's going on, Al-" He turns around to face me mid-sentence before looking at the sight that I am. "Please, please, tell me that I am seeing things? That this isn't real?" I plead as he takes another step forward until he's standing right next to me. "Loving fuck!" He growls before looking at me. "What the fuck is going on here?" I shake my head unable to find the right words because I feel the same.The underground tunnel that we are in is more of a box room. It's maybe 20 feet wide by 20 feet long and has several lights hanging from the ceiling which allows us to see the horr
Alpha Nicholas"TONY HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BOYS ARE HERE. I REPEAT THE BOYS ARE IN THE CAMP. STAND BY FOR MY SAY SO TO GO!" I bellow through the mind link that I had opened with Robbie, Shane and Will while waiting to give the go-ahead. It is easier to have a link open with those guys so then they can inform their groups rather than me bellowing out here to everyone and causing us attention that we don’t want or need too soon."Ok, guys we're going in. Tony and I will lead. Everyone stay close, stay alert, and. stay safe. I'll see you on the other side of this madness. Now, let's go!" There are instant growls of approval as my men begin to follow us through the trees but they keep them quiet enough to allow us to remain undetected for now. I want the element of surprise on our side in the hope that we can get close to the boys before all hell breaks loose."Tony, lead the way," I whisper as we reach the tree line and the last bit of defence against the clearing in the middle of the w
Alpha Nicholas I had my phone call taken care of and was changed and I had eaten within 30 minutes of my brothers leaving my office. As far as I'm concerned the sooner we leave the better and if everyone else is ready before the time I set then we can get out of here even quicker. The moment I step outside with Bonnie at my side im instantly filled with pride. There must be over 300 members of my pack out here and ready to go."It's a good turnout," Shane says as he comes to stand beside me with Lilly on his arm. While I want as many members as possible to fight, I have also made it very clear that it's not mandatory and there won't be any hard feelings towards those who decide not to come. However, looking around at everyone who is here now, I know that pretty much every Warrior is here and ready to head out."I've spoken to Steven and Harry and told them to stay back. Their mates are days away from giving birth. They don't need to be out there risking themselves when their minds wi
Alpha NicholasThe air feels tense as we wait for Ryan to finally start talking and I swear that Rosie is about to bite her nails off and is going to make a run for it at any moment despite not having any information yet. Both she and Tony look ready to burst and I don't blame either of them."Ryan, you gotta start talking, please, man!" Tony pleads while Ryan nods and seems nervous and I get it. Since we started this search, this is the first time that we have had even a scrap of hope and if it turns out to be nothing then it will devastate both Rosie and Tony, and that will kill Ryan. Of course, none of us will blame Ryan but I know that he will blame himself."Our group headed out to the south side of Rosie's last known location but after a few hours of yet another useless search, we decided to expand our search even further. We walked for around an hour searching every inch of ground along the way with no luck. We had the largest search group out there as a few guards that had bee
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
