2024-10-29 19:42:56~Ryan’s Point of View~
As I walked out of the gym and headed back toward the packhouse I nearly threw up. My body felt like it was rejecting … something. My wolf was pacing, pissed off. I’d explained all this to him but he was still ready to shift and kill everything in sight. He was insanely protective of Missy and I noticed Nate behaving the same way. In this moment, we only had the three of us. Our wolves were lost.
“I didn’t get to tell you as part of my punishment or whatever I can’t miss anymore school. So even if I get home late I really should still sleep there,” Missy said, just as we arrived back.
I growled, needing to keep her close. I didn’t have a pack now, but I had my mate. And Huck wasn’t about to let her

~Nate’s Point of View~ “Hi, I’m Alpha Nate, this is Alpha Ryan,” I said, trying to leave the conversation where they would need to explain themselves. After the intense as fuck nightmare I had, I was starving. But this was more important. *You just introduced yourself as Alpha. And it sounded pretty fucking good,* Onyx said, boosting my confidence. “It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Jason. This is my adopted mom Marion. That’s Colt, Trent, Louie, Raine and Tara. The girls are only 12 and 14. We range from 15-17. We’re not blood related but Marion and her husband fostered all of us and slowly adopted us one at a time. Mark, our father passed last year. It’s been pretty damn rough for us ever since. We lost our h

~Missy’s Point of View~ “So you’re seriously never going to join Long Tooth? Your family’s pack,” I said, in shock. Renata made a face and put down her drink. She looked out of the large picture window in my little suite, we’d been holed up in here for a couple hours. My mates were busy helping train the human teenage boys to help with security and I was exhausted from the long day. “There was just something so fulfilling about watching the guys bring people into their new pack. They’re Alphas for like an hour and suddenly they have what? Twenty-five people under them. I just think it’s amazing. I trust Ryan with my life, and in a way Nate is his mate so I trust him the same. Long Tooth is just old … my parents’ pack, hell my grandparents. That’s how I’ll always
Alpha Ridge 32 - Pride Takes A Hit
~Ryan’s Point of View~ “I’m fine really,” I grumbled, even though my whole body hurt like hell. I was certain some loving from my mate would fix everything but they weren’t letting me go home yet. I don’t know why she couldn’t come to me. I’d helped fend off rogue attacks before, but nothing like this. Those motherfuckers seemed organized, they hit us from all sides at once. The Shadow vamp caught one and tried to torture him a bit for information but the bastard kicked without saying much. Low tolerance for pain, worthless. Likely looking for females, that’s what we assumed. Well they weren’t fucking getting them from our village! I was still blind with rage that these assholes even thought for a seco
Alpha Ridge 33 - Female Hormones
~Missy’s Point of View~ I’d had to miss two days of school with everything going on and I was terrified they would flunk me. Susie offered to come meet with the principal and long story short, I would be graduating as expected. She said while listening to his thoughts she found out some interesting tidbits but of course, she wouldn’t elaborate. If blackmail was necessary for me to get that stupid certifcate than I didn’t care. The whispers around the school were harsh, criticizing my mates for not being able to keep their people safe. It was absolutely ludicrous, and the fact that our village did as well as it did with the small numbers it had really was amazing. I mean, Susie was basically five people in one but they didn’t need to know that. “I heard one of her mates
Alpha Ridge 34 - Differences
~Missy’s Point of View~Saturday had been a day everyone was looking forward to, anxious to be productive. But me? I was hiding like a damn coward in the kitchen. Terrified of seeing those males again. Their muscles, their perfect smiles.Thankfully there was no shortage of things to do so I did well at staying occupied. Since Chance’s mate arranged most of the food, we were making drinks and desserts. Kendra conjured up a table, and once we had it full she teleported it out to the field. It was pretty damn cool. Every hour or so it would come back empty and we’d fill it up all over again. There had to be fifty people out there at this point.There was talk they may be able to do a fourth house as long as there were enough materials. I hoped they coul
Alpha Ridge 35 - Burgundy
~Renata’s Point of View~ I just can’t waste any brain power on Ryan tonight. I know it’s a shock for him, hell I’m still in shock too! I always, always dreamed about my pups. If they would look like me, or my mate. Well I sure as shit knew now, they were going to look nothing like me in their natural form. My heart broke at the thought. But Missy believes in the Goddess, and deep down I know I do too. I paced in the woods alone, waiting for Diego to show up. I had a complete meltdown and insisted that we be alone. I think Nate was too terrified to go against me after my outburst. I didn’t want anyone else to see me like this, so emotional. It wasn’t my usual personality and in Long Tooth we don’t show weakness. But having a mate has just scrambled my damn head! While D
Alpha Ridge 36 - Meet The Bear
~Diego’s Point of View~ I thought I knew what my life would be, I thought the Shadows were my path, I thought the bachelor life was all I would know. I thought… I thought I had accepted my life. How could I have ever imagined that following the Black triplets to help build a house would bring me my mate? How did it seem that she was maybe ashamed of me? I smelled her when she was within a quarter mile, it nearly crippled my body. I fought terribly with Pablo, my bear, over dropping everything and going to find her. I knew that it was a new pack, with new Alphas. I had no clue what the protocol was for it all, I’d never lived in a pack myself. Bear shifters aren’t at all like wolves, we live with family but not in large groups. Of course there are some that choose
Alpha Ridge 37 - Full Circle
~Missy’s Point of View~ I stared back at my reflection and really didn’t even recognize myself. I was graduating from school today, and it hardly seemed possible. I felt worlds away from where I was a year ago. Before my mates found me and turned my world around. I was Luna, I was nearly mated. Forty-two days but who is counting… I’d barely even been staying at home anymore, and my parents honestly didn’t seem to care. They were too beside themselves to tell everyone I was Luna of Shadow Village, it was as if my actual presence was no longer required. I finished putting in my earrings, some little heart shaped diamond drops that were a graduation gift from my mates.

Alpha Ridge ~Epilogue~
~Epilogue~ ~Four Months Later~ ~Missy’s Point of View~ “Are you sure you’re ready to try this baby,” Nate asked, from underneath me. I made a face, since I was already struggling like hell with my current position. I was splayed out across the top of Nate’s body with my back to his chest. My hair was likely suffocating him. Between everything with the village and having little Fisher, we rarely take advantage of the witches’ offers to send us somewhere exotic anymore. But tonight had been planned for weeks, and both grandmas were handling things so we could have a weekend away. However, I still had to have Kendra pop in every 12 hours
Alpha Ridge 55 - The Next Chapter
~Missy’s Point of View~ ~Next Month~ “Kendra I don’t understand, what’s so important that you had to--” I fumbled into the dark room to find the light, wondering why she was dragging me into the daycare at 8pm on a Friday night. I flicked the switch and my jaw dropped. “SURPRISE!!!” I gasped and covered my mouth as everyone cheered and shouted. There were balloons all over and confetti flew through the air. I looked next to Renata and saw a giant cake, easily four tiers. On top was a brown haired doll in a shiny red dress just like she’d made me for the dance. There were two males in tuxedos both holding on to the doll.
Alpha Ridge 54 - New Depths
~Missy’s Point of View~ *Are you really not going to shift back,* I said, feeling defeated. My wolf and I laid in front of the packhouse and everyone gawked at us. It had been hours and hours since my shift, and my wolf seemed to be content to stay. She was still mad that I forced her shift early, she was mad that our mates weren’t here to see it and help. She was determined to stay until she got to see them and offer a piece of her mind. I was certain her little badass attitude would fall away once she saw them. The humans were very curious about her, and she let them pet her. She thought it made her feel special and important. Admired, when she couldn’t get that satisfaction from her mates. “Everyone can
Alpha Ridge 53 - Long Tooth's Final Stand
~Nate’s Point of View~Could there be anything more impossible than both my mates needing me and having to choose? Missy only gets her first shift once, we had to know it would happen after getting marked. But we couldn’t put off the invasion, not when the Shadows were all ready to go.Would Ryan have been okay without me? Probably. It wasn’t like I did anything but try to comfort him anyhow. This was a whole new dynamic that would take some real thought. Two mates absolutely dependent on me, and Ryan having two dependent on him as well. We were as joined as three people could be. If you’d asked me even a month ago who I would choose in a moment like this, of course I’d have said Missy. She should always be the number one choice. But now I also know, if anything happened to Ryan it would positively devas
Alpha Ridge 52 - Snarky
~Renata’s Point of View~ I felt Diego now as if he were so close, but I still couldn’t mind-link him. I watched out the window as there was a crazy rain storm that seemed to come and go, then a glowing light in the distance made my jaw drop. I quickly opened my two windows in shock, trying to be sure I was seeing things correctly. A forest fire. Ohh goddess! They’ll never put that out! They’re gonna burn the damn pack to the ground! Oh fuck I gotta get outta here! My mind went into overdrive and I suddenly had to wonder if I could shift and be able to get out of the ankle cuff, I’d have a smaller leg. Would that work? Desperate times Renata… I cle
Alpha Ridge 51 - Just Like That
~Ryan’s Point of View~I hadn’t been in the battle of Blood Claw, but everyone damn well knew the stories. A witch that could raise the dead, use them as a fucked up to way to fight your enemy. And in smoke so thick you can’t even see what’s coming at you? I didn’t sign up for this shit!*Renata, it’s all for her. We are here for her,* Huck reminded me.*It’s all for killing our fucking father,* I reminded him.We all had knives or daggers of some sort, but no guns. Did guns even work against the dead? Did knives? Fuck if I know, there isn’t a training manual for batshit crazy witches!*Katrina thinks this wit
Alpha Ridge 50 - Nameless Wolf
~Missy’s Point of View~ I can only make popcorn for so damn long, what am I going to do for all these people tonight? On top of that, I had a huge migraine and my skin was just super itchy. Maybe if I could sneak away and get a bath I’d feel better. I was already sick of the wink and nudge act from Nate’s mom who kept finding excuses to look at my neck. Although, several people did. They said I smelled different and of course everyone knew what that meant. “We’ll have to have a proper Luna ceremony,” someone said. I had no idea what that entailed, but with my mates gone and my best friend kidnapped it was hardly something I could waste my brain space on for now.
Alpha Ridge 49 - We Are The Fight
~Diego’s Point of View~ I stood on the practically barren Blood Claw lands, and could hardly imagine what this looked like once upon a time. Tyson didn’t much like to talk about his childhood, he said he was just a mindless zombie doing and going where he was told much like everyone else. That was hard for me to believe now, knowing how strong and confident he was today. But I guess we were all children at some point, just eager to please our parents. Goddess knows I was always trying to prove myself. I had a massive family but we were now spread out all over the place. My parents still live with my youngest sister who has yet to shift. I have no clue what they’ll do when they finally have an empty house, maybe … just maybe I could convince them to come here. They didn
Alpha Ridge 48 - Mama Bear
~Renata’s Point of View~ After Tyler’s stupid ass witch succeeded in scaring the shit out of me, everyone left me alone. One of the cooks from the packhouse I knew so well … an older female named Mary, brought me some fruits and finger foods. She refused to really look at or speak to me though. I couldn’t hold it against her, she was obviously scared. Sometime around two in the morning I did drift off to sleep, though it was so light and paranoid I woke barely feeling I’d slept. The sun was up, yet I was still here. I absolutely did dream I woke up back at home, in the strong arms I’d come to know so well. To depend on. How’s this possible? Aren’t they coming for me?
