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
Alpha NicholasWe've been searching the woods for over 2 hours and I'm starting to lose hope when Storm suddenly starts growling and a scent hits my nose. It's faint but I'd know that scent anywhere, it's my mate. "I can smell her!" I shout causing Lily to almost fall over a fallen tree truck in her rush to reach me, luckily for her, Shane had his eyes on her and managed to stop her. "Where is she?" I try to focus on her scent but it's still too faint to figure that out. Storms kicking up a storm in my head snarling and growling with the need to find her while my chest continues to burn. Can wolves have heart attacks? because I think I may be having one."Her scent is faint but if I can smell her then she can't be too far away." My brothers and Lily start talking but I ignore them as I try and focus on the scent and where it is. "Storm can you feel where she is?" With him being a wolf his senses are even better than mine. "So now you want to be near her?" Here we fucking go. "Don't sta
Alpha NicholasI can feel Lexi pulling away from me. She wants to run and while I don't blame her for that, I still can't let her do it. I Can feel Bonnie slowly fading and it's driving me fucking crazy. If it comes down to it I will haul her ass back to the pack house and deal with her anger later as long as she gets taken care of I don't give a fuck, but I'd like her to come willingly. I don't deserve it but I just need her to trust me. Deciding to give her a little something I get down on my knees so she's standing over me and pretty much beg her to let me help her."Lexi. I know you have no reason to trust me, I get it, I really do. But I promise that nothing will happen to Bonnie. I just want to help. I've not been acting as I should, I know that. I've been a fucking fool! but I just want to help, that is all." She lets out a whine but doesn't give me any kind of answer. "Let me talk to her." Storm's voice booms in my head. He's so worked up that I can feel how tense he is. I agr
Alpha NicholasSomehow, I managed to remain calm while I carried my mate up to our floor and into our bedroom, but the moment that I laid her down and took in how innocent she always looks when she is sleeping, I felt the anger come back full force causing my body to shake with the anger simmering through my veins.That prick Talon thinking that he could come on to my pack lands and into my pack house and take away a young girl who is currently under my protection is bad enough, but those mother fuckers who were supposed to be loyal to me, loyal to everyone here betraying us is soul-destroying.Worst of all, instead of doing their job and protecting the people of this pack, they went and betrayed us. They hurt people that they have worked alongside for years. People that they have stood side by side with during good and bad times. People who would have laid their lives down for them, no questions asked. They have taken away a dad from his pups and fuck, just thinking about it makes me
Alpha NicholasWhen in the ever-loving fuck did life become such a shit show? It feels like one minute everything was as calm as can be and the next bang... my entire world went tumbling inside out and upside down. In the space of two months, my brothers and I have gone from having no mates to all of us finding our mates, and every single mate has come along with a bang of their own.Now, don't mistake my complaining for any kind of resentment towards any of the women because it isn't like that. The incidents that have happened since they arrived here haven't been their fault and I know that my brothers and I have all been more than happy to help like we us. None of us regret a single one of the women arriving here and what we've had to do to keep them safe.Hell, after having Lottie, Bonnie is the best thing to ever happen to me but fuck, we can't catch a break. It's one thing after another and it's fucking draining. My mate has been here for almost six weeks and I still have not had
Warrior RobbieHearing my mate's story is hard but I'm glad that she's willing to talk to us. She's come from goddess only knows what and is currently sitting in a room with a bunch of big scary looking guys and yet, she not holding back. She's nothing if not incredibly brave thats for sure. Not that she has anything to fear from any of us but she doesn't know that, not yet anyway."Where did you come from?" Shane asks bringing my attention back to my mate. "We were Rogues. We were only a small pack. There were maybe thirty of us. They... they killed all the men and some of the women when they put up a fight and then of course there were the ones that got away and the remaining five were taken to that camp." I'm going to hunt down every single wolf that is involved in these camps and I'm going to end them all no matter how long it takes."So what happened when you met Talon?" Nick asks bringing the conversation back around. "He picked out a girl and told her that she was his and then
Warrior Robbie "I'm sorry, he's your fucking what?" The words tumble from my mouth before I even have a chance to think about it. I know that prick said that he was her mate, and yes it pissed me off to no end, but I knew that it was all bullshit because she's my mate so I held the anger in but hearing her say it hits differently and I'm instantly ready to tear the room apart.I feel her tense up next to me and swiftly realise that I need to rein in my anger because I'm scaring her, and that is the last thing that I should do, that I want to do. I duck my head down so that we are face to face. "I'm sorry," I whisper to her. "You're safe, Aria. My anger is not directed at you.No matter the reason for my anger, you will never have to fear me. I will never take it out on you in any way." I still don't know what she's been through yet, but either way, I know that it hasn't been good, but I'll make dam sure that she knows that her future will be different, that it will be good. That she
Warrior RobbieThis new development involving my mate has thrown me through a loop. And this idiot who's turned up here claiming to be her mate... yeah, he's really not helping things. There's something up with him. I can't tell you what it is, at least not right now anyway, but I can feel it, I can sense it and I have a feeling that shits going to hit the fan very soon and he going to be a dead man."Aria, you have my word as Alpha of this pack that you won't be forced to do anything that you don't want to by anyone. Nor will you be forced to go anywhere or with anyone that you don't want to." Nick's words are soft and considerate and I want to hug him for how he's being with my mate. "Thank you," she whispers as she looks at Nick with tears in her eyes."She's my mate, she's mine, I own her and you can't stop me from taking her with me. You can't hold her against her will!" Talon bellows getting seriously pissed. Oh well, too bad too sad for him. He takes another step forward and I
Warrior RobbieThe moment he says my mate's name I feel my blood instantly boil. Who the fuck is this motherfucker? If he thinks he can just stroll in here and walk right on out with my mate then he's got another thing coming. I will tear him limb from limb before I let that happen. "Who are you and how the hell did you even get in here?" I growl trying and failing to keep my tone calm. He raises a single brow as a cocky smile covers his face and I swear it takes all I have not to knock him the fuck out right here right now."Do it. On second thoughts, let me at him. Fucker won't have a thing to be cocky about by the time I'm finished with him." Cain growls as he comes to the front of my mind. "I'd be more than happy to let you do it but right now, we need to find out what exactly it is that this prick wants with our mate." He doesn't say another word but he grunts and stomps around in my head hard enough to make it more than clear about how he feels and I get it, I do because I feel
Warrior RobbieWithin twenty minutes we have six groups all huddled into different areas of the room as we get ready to talk to them. Considering how many children are currently in this room I thought it would have taken us much longer to get them organised but they were incredibly well behaved which I'm grateful for."Now, while I understand that you would like to be the one to talk to your mate, I also understand if you've changed your mind and would prefer for someone else to do it. There's no judgment from any of us if you worry that you can't handle it."Once again Nick's concern is appreciated but if anyone's going to be speaking to my Mate it's me. "I'm good. I've got this," I grunt. He gives me a nod as he starts telling everyone what group they are to take while I walk to the one at the far end when my mate is sitting at the back of the row looking a little lost and a little scared. Fcuk, I wish that I could help calm her down but until she is of age she won't feel any part o
Warrior Robbie As soon as we sit our asses down in Nick's office where both Shane and Will are already waiting for us I waste no time in filling them in on everything. Nick had already told me what Shane had found out last night but I'm not mad at him for telling him. I understand the situation he was in and I probably would have done the same if I had been in his position.“Fuck!” Will grunts as soon as I finish speaking. “Fuck man, I don't know whether to congratulate you or give you my sympathy.” Nick and Shane nod agreeing while I try and figure out what to say next but thankfully, Nick seems to understand my struggle as he speaks up for me.“So, we need to talk with the women and children. We need to collect information from them so that we can figure out who needs help getting back home and who needs a home. There are more than likely a few Rogues in the group but it doesn't necessarily mean that they will want to be again so I'd like to be able to give them options. More impor
Alpha Nicholas "How did he look when you checked in on him?" Bonnie asks the moment I step into the kitchen area. It's only 7 am and yet, she's already up, showered, dressed and has a massive breakfast spread out across our breakfast island. There's enough food and coffee to feed a small army and it smells fucking delicious.Then again neither of us slept much last night. Bonnie was out of bed by 5 am as she couldn't sleep over worrying that Robbie would vomit and choke in his sleep so I'm not surprised that she's managed to pull all of this off already but still, she didn't need to. However, If there's one thing that I know about my mate, it's that she loves looking after others and I love her all the more for it."He woke up when I went in but the poor bastard was in rough shape. He's going to suffer today that's for sure." While part of me wants to laugh at the state that Robbie was in when he woke up, a bigger part of me stops it from happening.Robbie getting drunk at any given
