BonnieI wasn’t lying when I told Nicky that I knew that he needed to go and run, I could feel how tense he and his wolf were and I knew neither of them would want to lose their temper in front of me or Lexi but that wasn’t the only reason I convinced him to go. The truth is I needed some time on my own to work through everything.Don’t get me wrong, I’m so happy that he told me everything that he did and while it does explain a lot of things, it does still leave me with some questions but they’re questions that I don’t think he’ll be able to answer, not really or maybe he won't want to, I'm not sure, so for me to try and figure them out for myself I needed him gone because when he’s around it’s hard to breath, never mind think.Take away the asshole side that he carries around or at least the asshole side that he can appear to have and you’ve got everything I could have ever wanted in a mate. He’s tall, strong, and incredibly handsome. He clearly loves his family, pack and of course,
Alpha NicholasAfter a quick link to Shane letting him know I'm going for a run I take off for the forest without a backward glance. He tries to insist on coming but I quickly dismiss it. I only linked him as he is my Beta and is in charge when I'm not around. I appreciate his offer but I need some time alone.I let Storm lose and he runs with all he has. I can feel the anger rolling off him as he storms through the forest and as I feel the wind whip past us as he runs through the trees and the ground crunch beneath his paws I feel him slowly start to calm down and so do I. Reliving everything to Bonnie was so fucking hard. Yes, I've spoken about it over the years, more so the first few years after it happened but even then I've never given as much detail as I did to Bonnie. Still, she deserved to know as much as possible.She was so incredible the whole time but I could sense her pulling away towards the end and I know why. She thinks that I'm still holding back something. She thinks
BonnieThe freedom that I felt as soon as we hit the forest and Lexi let loose does not last very long, There is so much on my mind, and it's hard to stop thinking or feeling for even just the shortest amount of time. The moon goddess must have it in for me because I can't seem to catch a break. First losing my mom before I even got to know her, could even remember her, and then she let me grow up like I did and now, I have a mate who plays ping pong with my heart, and it feels like I'm about to explored.I keep going from upset to angry and while I want to curl up in a ball and cry until I pass out my anger is overriding it and right now I just want to scream and shout and destroy everything in sight. I've always been fairly quiet, had no choice but to be that way but for some reason right now I feel stronger than I ever have and ready to take down everything that's in my sight."We'll run for a while and then find you somewhere to let out all of your anger, it won't do you any good
Alpha NicholasI have every available guard searching for my girl including my brothers, Cole, Tony, and even my dad, and yet it's been almost an hour and we are yet to find her. Where the fuck is she? "We've searched the entire east border but she is nowhere to be seen," Tony grunts looking seriously pissed off. I know that I lost my shit with him earlier and blamed him for her disappearance but I didn't mean it, not really but he is blaming himself and I hate seeing it. "She is here somewhere, I just know she is." I'm not sure if I'm trying to convince him or myself but either way I pray that I'm right."Alpha we're picking up scents towards the north border." Cole's voice bellows through our link making my head raffle. "Scents... as in more than one? How many?" As I wait for Cole, I signal for several of my men to come to me, including my brothers and father. "Yes, Alpha. I'm picking up three different scents. We're by that odd-looking oak tree that sits in the middle." What the fu
Alpha NicholasWe keep searching for a few more miles but one by one the group searching mind links me to inform me that they have reached dead ends and it's starting to fuck me off. How can this be? I try to ignore the throbbing in my head but it's becoming impossible. They may be reaching dead ends but the more I search the stronger my mate's scent is getting and I soon realize that I know where we are heading, it's the cliffs that surround a massive waterfall and lake. Could she be up on them? It would explain why my men keep hitting dead ends, they are more than likely reaching the bottom of the cliffs.I link Robbie telling him that we are heading for the waterfall and leave him to inform the others as I continue moving forward. I kept tracking her scent until I too hit a dead end and it was just as I thought, It was a dead end because of the cliffs that surrounded the waterfall and lake but luckily for me, I know a quick way up them.As a teenager, I spent a lot of time explorin
BonnieAfter a few minutes of him running his hands through my hair and taking lots of deep breaths, he finally starts talking. "So you remember me telling you about Lottie's mom turning up here when she was 7, right?" I nod yes because well, how could I forget what she did? "Well, her wanting money for Lottie wasn't all she wanted when she came for that visit."She... when she first turned up she wanted me to take her as my chosen mate, to be a family with Lottie but that was never going to happen, and after she didn't get the response that she wanted she blackmailed me by demanding that I give her money or I would lose Lottie."I'm not that surprised that she wanted to mate with him "What else did she do?" He takes a deep breath and all I see is a pain in his eyes, and it feels like my heart is breaking for him so I reach out and take his hand in mine hoping to bring him even the smallest of comfort. He gives me a gentle smile but it doesn’t cover his hurt.“After I paid her she lef
Alpha Nicholas “Telling Bonnie that final part of what happened has left me feeling so many different things and above all else completely drained. I feel like I could sleep for a month but on the other hand, I also feel relieved that she knows but more than anything I feel pure terrifying fear. Once I knew I wanted her with every fiber of my bearing I was afraid that she would leave after all I had put her through but now…Well, now I’m fucking terrified that she will, and while there’s a part of me that still wants her to so that I know she will live and can have the chance of being happy there’s another part of me that never wants to let her go regardless of what could be. And while it sounds awful I’m only thinking that way because it’s been a few days since we met and yet she’s still alive so maybe we have a chance… Just maybe.I’ll pulled out of my wondering mind as my mate wiggles on my lap. She seems concerned but nothing like I thought she would be. I imagined she would be t
Alpha NicholasI don't think I have ever run so fast before in my whole life. When I sent the guards back with Bonine's brother and that bitch that calls herself my daughter's mom I give Tony some other errands to run for me to keep him away. Of course, I knew that he would want to go and see her after what she did. Of course, I knew that he would love nothing more than to kill the bitch and he may not know it yet but if it comes down to that then I'm going to give him the honour of ending her life, it is the least he deserves, but right now, I need her alive because I need to know what the fuck she's up to now. I've not seen her in almost 9 years so why is she here now?As I run with all I have to reach the cells where we keep all our prisoners I send Will a link to get several guards down there. I need to contain this as quickly as possible but it could all go very wrong very quickly and I want to make sure I have a few men there to keep Tony in line. He may be one wolf but he's als
Warrior RobbieI stand back and watch her climb up the ladder while my head feels like it's spinning. My mate is underage. A child. How the fuck is my mate a child? I'm fully aware that it happens but why me? Fuck, how old is she? Fuck, my whole world feels like it's been tipped upside down and Jonah is the quietest that he has ever been but for now, I have to push it aside. We have women to get out of here and then we need to make sure we get them and the children safely away from this hell hole.Once the last woman is out of here I do a final sweep to make sure we're all clear and quickly get outside eager to once again have eyes on my mate. Yes, it seems that she is underage and that just makes this a nightmare but it doesn't stop my instincts from wanting to keep an eye on her and make sure that she is safe, especially in the situation that we are in. "All clear?" Nick asks as I give the men the signal to close the door. "Yeah, everyone is out," I answer as my eyes wander to the c
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
