Bonnie “I don't understand.” He's just thrown a major curve ball at me and I have so many things I want to say but at the same time, I feel speechless. “I thought you… you didn't want me as your mate?” He runs his hand through his hair before letting out a long sigh. “It was never that I didn't want you as my mate. It was never personal to you, I just didn't want a mate full stop. Well, I wouldn't allow myself to. It's all so complicated." He lets out a huff of frustration seeming to match the frustration that I feel inside of me. "It's complicated how? I don't understand?" He has to explain this because there's no way I can figure it out alone. "Do you remember how I said that Lottie's arrival was not your usual story?" I nod. "Well, her arrival and my whole complicated mate situation is kind of an all-in-one thing." I understand what he's trying to say... I think. "I know you want to know the story and I will tell you but to tell you about that... Well, not many people know about
Alpha NicholasI'm livid! I'm so mother fucking Goddam angry I swear I could tear apart this entire room and not even blink an eye. Who the fuck treats anyone like that? Let alone their own blood family, let alone my mate! I just don't understand it. She's so beautiful inside and out, so kind-hearted it's sobering, and yet those worthless pieces of assholes think that it's okay to do that? Well, I can guarantee that it won't happen again. NO FUCKING WAY! Even if she doesn't want to be with me, then I will make sure she gets somewhere safe, hell, I'll hire her a bodyguard for the rest of her life if I need to, but no matter what they don't get to hurt her again."Are you ok, Nicky?" Her sweet voice brings me back to the present but she must see more on my face that I don't mean to show because she suddenly shrinks back from me and that one move alone is enough to bring me back to my senses. "No, Bonnie, Please don't do that. My voice is harsh but I try to keep my tone calm and as soft
Alpha Nicholas As soon as we hit the forest I stop and curse myself. What the fuck am I thinking only having Lottie with Bonnie? Yes, she is more than capable of protecting both her and Bonnie and when it comes to my pack both of them couldn't be any more safe but I still have Bonnie's father and sister on my land and I don't fucking trust them, not one bit! Those 2 girls are the most important women in my life and it's my job to protect them. Of course, I love my mom but my dad always has her protected so I don't need to worry too much.Luckily for me, I have Will here with me and as my Gamma, it's his job to have control over the warrior's patrol shifts. "Will, do you know if Ryan and Tony are on patrol today?" He stares up at the sky as he thinks before shaking his head "No, they are on the night shift tonight on the East border." One thing about Will is his incredible memories of the patrol rotas, rarely, he doesn't know who's on patrol and when. We have a lot of warriors and for
Alpha Nicholas 12 years old "Come on, Nicky. It'll be fun!" My best friend Tony whines. We're sitting in the breakfast hall filling our stomachs before school. There's a school field trip today only he doesn't want to go, and neither do Ryan, Cole, or Adrian. We all attend high school in the local town which holds a mixture of students including humans, werewolves, and even some witches and while both the werewolves and witches are fully aware of each other's presence, the humans have no idea about any supernatural existence and that's just how we like it. There has to be an extreme reason for telling a human that you are supernatural or you can get in serious trouble. "I don't see how going into another territory intentionally looking for a Rogue pack is fun. Have you forgotten how dangerous they can be?" I see the flicker of pain flash across Ryan's face and as much as I don't want to drag up his painful memories, I need to make Tony think about this. Ryan's dad was killed by Rog
BonnieSitting here listening to Nicky's story is intense. He hasn't told me a great deal yet but still, I can already feel that there's so much more to come. There are so many things running through my mind right now, so many questions but I am afraid to ask him yet as I don't want to distract him and have him change his mind about telling me his story. "So what happened next?" Yes, fine, that was a question but it's different. He looks up a little startled and I feel bad for doing it when he is so clearly lost in his thoughts as he shifts in his chair while keeping ahold of my hand."We walked for miles through one of the biggest forests that I have ever seen without hearing or seeing anything. For a moment I was wondering if we were even in the right place after all, the last thing we needed was to be in the wrong place and to get into trouble for nothing. Don't get me wrong, we were all more than happy to spend all day helping our best friend locate that place, nor did we have a p
Alpha Nicholas"We think so. The Rogue confirmed that Lisa had been using magic to help the pack and he also knew that she could easily cast a spell to put someone in a trance without even being too close to someone. A couple of years after they all disappeared, we heard that Lisa had planned it all. She was the one behind getting Tony to the pack that day but she didn't plan on him bringing anyone with him so when she saw a teenage boy in the forest at the right time she cast the smell and started running.""Only she hadn't stopped long enough to confirm it was Tony and instead cast the spell on Adrian and by the time he had gotten to them it was too late for her to do anything about it, and sending him back was a no-go, so they decided to keep him. No one has seen or heard from him since. Of course, we tried searching for him for almost an entire year but we suspect that after we had destroyed their business they disappeared to another country.""Wow, that's a lot to take in!" I giv
Alpha Nicholas"Going through all of that… I can't imagine how you even begin to move past it and what happened with Lottie is just mind-blowing but you said… You said that your reason for not wanting a mate was connected to Lottie, but if you never met her mother and she wasn't your mate then I don't understand.""I didn't meet Lottie's mom until she was 7. One day while she was in school her mom showed up at the pack house. She was dirty and smelly and looked like she hadn't eaten in months. At first, I thought she needed help but I couldn't have been any more wrong. Well, she did need help because it turned out that she was on drugs but she didn't want any help with that.""Did she come for Lottie?""No, she came for money. She turned up and demanded money for Lottie or she would take her and leave. There was no way on earth that she was taking my daughter so I paid her, I essentially bought my daughter from her. There were other ways around getting rid of her without paying her but
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,
Warrior TonyHearing my mate's story is already tearing my heart apart and yet, I have a feeling that it's only the beginning. To know that she has spent so long on her own without her family is hard enough, but to know that I literally walked over her safe house, to know that I was mere meters away from her and I left her there just guts me. If my math is right, then she was 14 when this happened, which means that if I had gotten her out of there that day, then I would have known that she was my mate.Granted, nothing would have happened nor would I have told her, but I could have made sure that she had a good life while I waited for her, and could have kept her safe and protected. Goddess, I would have done it for her regardless of her being my mate. She was just a child, and she had lost everyone she ever knew. I would have personally looked after her regardless of who she was to me, but instead, she has been alone all this time and I hate it."I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we didn't f
Alpha NicholasThe sight that I see as we head to my office causes a small amount of guilt to weigh fairly heavily on my heart. Tony is walking with Rosie right by his side as several guards surround them and, while it looks like they are protecting them, sadly, that's not the case. Sadly, they are guarding Rosie while protecting everyone else, because as much as Rosie is Tony's mate until we know everything and can be confident that she is no threat to us, then we have to be careful.We would always be careful in this kind of situation, but given recent events, we are on more of a high alert, and while it may seem unfair for her to be treated like this when she is more than likely innocent, the reality is that she could be a part of everything else that has been going on, and I can't take that risk and it sucks.Tony is my best friend and I want to be nothing but supportive and welcome his mate with open arms, but I can't, not yet anyway. There is too much at stake, too much that cou
Alpha Nicholas"What in the ever-loving fuck is going on around here? There have been more mates found in the last few days than there have been in the last few months. Is there something in the water or what?" Robbie grunts as he walks out of the guard room having overheard the newest mates that have found each other. A few chuckles can be heard from around the room, but Tony just remains still as he stares at his mate who is still in a cell."There has to be." Colt grunts, not seeming happy about the situation, but I guess that's because he's a massive man hoe and the last I knew he was in no rush to find his mate. Don't get me wrong, a week ago I would have agreed with him, but now I just think he's an idiot for thinking that way, because there's no better feeling than meeting your mate.Robbie doesn't say anything back to him, but he doesn't need to. I think most of us in this room know how much he wants to find his mate. I walk over to him and slap him on the shoulder. "Your time
Warrior Tony"Come on pick up the pace I've seen more go in a newborn pup!" I bellow at the small group of teenagers that are training with the effort of a bunch of dip shits. I often help with training sessions covering for Robbie while he's busy with other work but covering the teenager groups can be a major pain in the ass.Don't get me wrong, there are a good few that want to learn and put all of their efforts into the lessons but of course, there are also plenty of them that can't be bothered and would much rather spend their time on their phones or checking each other out and it's a major pain in the ass. I know that Robbie feels the same and I swear half the time that asshole does it on purpose, pretends to be busy so I have to cover his training session the ass wipe!“Tony, you there brother?” Nicky's voice comes through the link drawing my attention away from the teenagers that are doing a great job of pissing me off!“Im here Alpha. Is everything ok?” “Why? Just why?” I lau
BonnieHearing those words come from, Nathen I feel my spine instantly stiffen. It's pretty obvious that she's going to be scared, the girl has been dragged through the forest and thrown in a cell while all the other cells around her currently hold a bunch of assholes who I doubt are helping her situation, but the way Nathen said the words makes me think that it was meant differently.Is she scared of someone outside? Is she on the run and looking for help? Was she running from something and stumbled upon these lands by mistake and now she's fearing for her life? Is she running from the kind of pain that I am? My mind hurts with all of the silent questions that I'm asking myself but then the logical side of me wakes up and more questions quickly come to mind like is she here to cause trouble or worse is she here to add more heartache to our lives? I may not have been here for long but there are already so many people that I've grown fond of and none of those people have had easy caref
Alpha Nicholas If there's one thing that I've come to realize in the short time that I've known my mate it’s that she needs both words and actions to believe in anything and given her history it doesn't surprise me. She still doubts me and that's understandable after how we started, and she may not realise it yet but I'm all in and I'm more than happy to show her every single day of our lives if that's what it takes starting from right now.I lean in and kiss her until we are both breathless and I have no choice but to pull away. I watch as her chest rises and falls from her harsh breathing and have to tear my eyes away from her lush breasts before I lose control again. Believe me when I say that it is all I want to do right now. After tasting her last night I already know that I'm going to lose control often and I'm not sorry one single bit.I hook one single finger under her chin and lift her head until she has no choice but to look at me. I want her to see my face when I talk to h
BonnieI wake up, and instantly my whole body feels like it has had one hell of a workout, and then I can't help but smile when I remember that it has indeed had a workout. My life has mostly been clouded by darkness and whilst there was a loud voice that would constantly tell me that I wouldn't get a mate, that my mate wouldn't want me, I would still get my moments where I would imagine myself meeting my mate, him wanting me and, of course, I always wondered what my first time would be like. Although in my imagination it would take time before we got to that point. In no way did I ever imagine that it would happen so quickly, but I don't regret it, not at all.When I came to his room the thought of us mating hadn't even entered my head, but the moment he kissed me and then pinned me to the door, I quickly started losing all of my senses, then he went and said those words... those sweet words that I could see he meant, and I just forgot everything. He got me so worked up that my nerve
BonnieHe trails his hands down and then hocks his fingers into my panties and despite my nerves, I nod for him to continue, he slides them down my legs and throws them behind his head before moving up my body and kissing me while his hands work their way around my back and he unclips my bra before removing it and throwing it behind him. I'm completely naked and so fucking nervous but also so goddam turned on by him that my mind is clouded over by lust and want.He moves so that he's back to laying on his side but he's still slightly hovering over me and I soon feel his hand trailing over my breast and he gently starts to pinch and play with my nipple. A gasp leaves my mouth as his tongue darts out and he starts flicking it across my other nipple, he's licking, sucking, kneading, and pinching my nipples and breasts and I feel like I'm losing my goddam mind. Fuck, this feels incredible!He moves his mouth to my other nipple lapping at it with the same amount of attention as his hand mo
Alpha NicholasI climb onto the bed and get comfy laying on my side facing my beautiful mate before once again taking her lips and very quickly we get lost in a slow passionate kiss that drives me mad with desire. While we continue to kiss, I slowly glide one of my hands down her body and slide it under her top. I carry on the slow movement as I glide my fingers across her stomach causing her muscles to contract under my touch and I can't help but smirk at her reaction.As I continue to caress her skin, I don't miss the feel of the scars and bumps that litter her stomach, or the feel of her body as she slightly tenses and it instantly makes me angry, but somehow, by the grace of the goddess, I manage to hold my anger in. Anger has no place in the bedroom. Besides, this is anger that I will be dealing with later on and I can't fucking wait! I feel her tense up when I run my fingers across a rather large scar but I pretend I don't notice and instead move on to running my hand up her top
