36 - Meet The Bear

2022-04-07 08:50:36~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.

~Missy’s Point of View~ “What’s the day count now,” Renata asked as we bumped into each other around the kitchen. “Eighteen days and one last full moon,” I said, wiping my forehead with the back of my arm. At this point I should plaster it on a giant calendar because everyone constantly asks me. It's getting hard not to snap about it because each person doesn’t know the last has asked me already. “That’s so rough, man I just don’t know how they do it,” she said, shaking her head. I know she just wanted to make conversation but it was just too hard for me to think about anymore. After the last full moon I heard Nate and Ryan talking about the

~Nate’s Point of View~ I know they say you should never think about how good things are going, because that’s usually when they shit the bed. But fuck if I can help it. We have a pack now of nearly a hundred people, and we’re thriving. Granted we’re still leaning on the Shadows a lot, but we’re getting there. Having two vampires has been unbelievable for us. Once word got out, the rogues backed off tremendously. While a lot of our people were skittish, and nervous … we made it a point for them both to meet all the people, and speak to them as much as possible. All the former Shadows were now helping us make money too, offering their services with training. It was a no brainer … with no overhead costs. It wasn’t like we were giving away any big secrets, defense is

~Missy’s Point of View~ Do I really get to have it all? The dream mates, the cushy life of a Luna? Likely have amazing sex for the rest of my life? Ohhh. With everything we’d already done I wasn’t sure how it would be better. How my body could handle it being any better. But from Renata’s bragging stories I knew it was, she had turned into an addict. My insides absolutely stirred with the idea. I knew I was ready, I mean we had literally done everything but actual traditional sex but… Goddess I always do this! I analyze to death! I wasn’t even listening to the vampire’s words, I couldn’t focus. I felt like everything was in slow motion. You deserve this, you deserve the happily ever after! “You may both kiss

~Ryan’s Point of View~ “Baby you look so damn beautiful. I’m so ready to rip this off you for good and lick you like an ice cream cone … again,” I whispered in her ear. She blushed, as usual and gripped me tighter. We were sharing our first dance as husband and wife. Of course she was standing on my feet since she thought she would otherwise embarrass herself. It was the perfect cover to have her closer. I knew everyone could tell she had a somewhat freshly fucked face, and I couldn’t give a damn. I needed to see her actually properly fucked face. But that would have to wait. Tonight I’d be making love to her, a first for us both. I’d certainly never call what I’d done with anyone else making love. Nothing close to it. But it was what my mate deserved and I was more th

~Nate’s Point of View~ I watched in awe as the vampires and other Shadows fought the onslaught of probably forty rogues. What the hell did these idiots think they would really accomplish here? They were being slaughtered and it wasn’t pretty. Godfrey was absolutely in his element, delirious with the thrill of a fight and the chance for fresh blood. I had to imagine as a councilor whose job it was to protect, killing rogue wolves was where he thrived. Even his mate was covered in blood, her gown in shreds yet her skin was glowing from all the feeding. I’ve heard there is nothing stronger than a young vampire, and their thirst is insatiable. Even councilor Ash was out here with his sons, ripping out throats. I had to wonder how often he joins fights. *One she-wolf hostag

~Renata’s Point of View~ I looked down at the ankle cuff on my leg, what a joke. At least the chain seemed long enough to reach the bathroom. I rubbed my hand against the comforter on my childhood bed and looked around my old room. There was very, very little about this place I missed. I tried to block out the bickering voices in front of me but the more I was forced to listen to them the more I thought I might officially snap. I’d heard more from my parents in the last couple of hours than I had in the last couple years. *Just breathe, our cubs are okay, that’s the most important thing,* Burgundy said, trying to reassure me. I rubbed my belly without a second thought, my new favorite thing. It immedia

~Diego’s Point of View~ “What the fuck do you mean she’s missing? Her bond feels like, like she’s just sleeping. Did you check our room? She’s been getting tired more easily,” I said, trying to convince myself that’s all it was, it had to be. I got a rotten feeling from her parents, and it was only the first time I’d met them. I didn’t like that she had to drop on them all at once that she was mated, and pregnant. They were clearly not happy but they also didn’t strike me as surprised. I made a mental note to ask Susie to spend a few minutes with them but I never got around to it. Maybe Ryan had told them? Someone else? Maybe they were going to just take her anyhow? Fuck this can’t be real! I stormed into our bedroom, but it was stupid. I didn’t sense her close anymore

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?
