Tamara,“But sir. We don’t know……we just need……..”Jeremy started to say stuttering, but Savage raised his hand up, making him shut his mouth and look down at his feet.“It is done. No one here takes a position they don’t deserve or earn. And her being my mate doesn’t change that. These are the rules and our law. End of discussion.”Savage growled at his head enforcer and I didn’t even have the power to flinch in fear. I was frozen in my place, shocked and feeling lost.I looked around me as tears fell down my face and tried to see if anyone else was going to tell him to reconsider his decree, but there was nothing.They were all just staring at me with different expressions, but I didn’t see any compassion or pity on any of their faces.Some were calculating, some were grinning, and some were excited. While I was standing in my place and stopped breathing.I looked back at savage and saw the disgusted look on his face before he gave me an ugly snarl and he stomped to the pack’s house
Tamara,“keep your arms in front of your face and when you see an opening just take it. Don’t think, just hit her. Do you understand?”Jeremy said as he stared me in the eye and I nodded my head absently as I looked around me and shuddered visibly, but I jumped in fear when I heard an angry snarl.“Stop shaking like a damn scared rabbit. We are animals, we smell fear and we strive for it. Control yourself.”The male growled at me and I stared at him with big round eyes, then I nodded my head quickly when I saw his anger focused on me.“It is time, Jer. All that you are doing here is for nothing. You can’t teach her six or five years’ worth of fighting experience.”The man that I saw with my mate a couple of times before said and I sneered at him, making him scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.“I didn’t mean to insult you, Tamara, but it is the truth. We all know that no one cared for you in your old pack, so you can’t fight. I mean, your body is already shaking before anyth
Savage,Something was different.She was still shaking in fear and begging us for help with her eyes, but there was a subtle shift in the air and in her body language.I might be the only one to see it, but it was so obvious even my wolf perked up and looked around him in awareness.She was struggling with herself. No, within herself. And in the end, something won that eternal fight. Her aura changed entirely.While Zoey was spinning around herself, grinning at us, Tamara stood up with her eyes flickering and changing colors.Bloody red, then lavender, then all over again, bloody red, then lavender. And when the place went quiet, I know that they noticed it.My wolf sat on his ass and his head tilted to the side, intrigued. He wasn’t surprised but expectant!And I was right, something was happening with my mate, something shifted in her, but I can’t pinpoint it.“Should we stop this?”Jerem
Tamara,I hugged myself tightly as my mate carried me in his strong arms and headed somewhere as I shook violently.It happened again. I blanked out the moment I gave my wolf control and I might have hurt that female or maybe some other with her.That was one of the reasons I don’t shift. I’m not vain to think about how my wolf looked or how my blood red eyes scared everyone in my old pack.Or how my size was bigger than my alpha brother and it used to intimidate him. My only fear was me losing control. I can’t control my wolf, no matter how hard I tried.“No, I won’t allow this.”A female shouted in a tired voice, and we stopped. I blinked my eyes open, and I tried to look discreetly to see who was talking, and swallowed harshly when I saw Zoey’s angry face.The female looked like a mess. Her face was swollen and bruised, her body was scratched and there were cuts all over her and they were bleeding.I hiccupped a little when I saw what I have done to her without even remembering it.
Tamara,The first thing that registered in my mind wasn’t the screams or the smell of burned flesh in the air, the thing that made me open my eyes was the presence of my wolf.She was pacing inside of my head, agitated and snarling at me to wake up. She tried to make me open my eyes.And I just did that and darkness greeted me as I turned around, then hissed in pain when my wounds stung.Then I heard them, the loud screams, the growls, the angry howls, and the pained ones, then the smell of smoke, fire, and blood.I threw the comforter away and ran to the open window to look through it, and what I saw outside made me gasp in fear and horror.The pack was under attack. Everyone was either running away, screaming, or fighting.And the ones who were attacking us weren’t just some rogue wolves or even stupid humans who stumbled upon us.There were wolves, vampires, witches, and maybe a dragon?! I wasn’t sure, but there was something breathing fire through the trees.A set of eyes found me
Savage,It happened suddenly. One minute I was taking a run around my territory and the second I smelled them.I was trying to clear up my mind from the last events that happened and from all my wolf’s pestering.He was angry at me for hurting our mate; he was angry because I didn’t stay to tend to her wounds and comfort her.He still doesn’t understand that she isn’t that important to us, but the stupid fucker just wanted to forget.He wanted to forget the past, the pain, and the loss and start a new life with our mate.And then I heard the screams and howls and the smell of smoke and blood reached me as I drew nearer. And I froze in my place.The scene felt so eerily similar to what had happened before. The only difference was, there was no mate and no pup dead in front of me.I roared as I jumped and joined the fray. I bit scratched and swallowed flesh. I attacked everyone that smelled unfamilia
Tamara,“It is me. I’m your alpha.”Someone growled at me through my foggy haze and for a second, I froze and stared at them with big, wide, unseeing eyes.My brother is here now. He wants to punish me for something I didn’t even do. He wants to hurt me to relieve some of his stress.I snarled as I pushed him back and I heard myself whimper and that whimper turned into a full on growl that rattled my chest.My wolf lowered its muzzle as she snarled in my mind and started to stalk my brother, who took a couple of steps backward and stared down at the open bleeding wound in his chest.I have hurt him and now he won’t just hurt me back, he will kill me for sure, but I’m done. I’m done with the pathetic excuse of a life. I’m done with all this suffering.I’m an alpha daughter as well, and I can be an alpha. Why would I cower in fear and let him abuse me like this? Why?I snarled as I flexed my claws, and she snarled back, supporting me. I felt my eyes burn and their color change and at th
Savage,I clicked my fingers on my desk as I watched the three alphas sitting in front of me as we waited for the last one.And they were watching me in return, trying to figure out if the rumors were true or if they were just an exaggeration from everyone.“So you are the cousin of the supreme alpha? How come? He lives on a faraway island while you came from Canada, as I heard.”Alpha Silas said as he wrapped his arms around his big broad chest and eyed me from head to toe like he was doing since the moment he entered my office.I licked my front teeth and cocked a brow at the male and he flashed his green eyes at me and then grinned as if he was telling me that it was hard to intimidate him.And I trust that was the truth because the older alpha must be seasoned due to his older age and the scars that littered his arms and crossed his face.“I fail to see how this might matter or be important for what I asked to meet you all for.”I said calmly as I leaned my chin on my clasped hand
EpilogueTamara,When the god of thunder left, I dropped to my knees because my feet were shaking from stress.The day didn’t end yet and I feel like almost fainting, but I looked back at my mate and a soft smile touched my lips. He is back and alive.“Are you certain about this, mortal? The gods aren’t trustworthy. They are known for their decisive and for playing with mortals’ dreams and hopes.“it is you who have been sensing around, Tamara? You were the one who caused her all of this trauma and stress.”Savage snarled as I sat on the couch and put his legs slowly on the ground, planning to stand up and attack the fox, but I stopped him by shaking my head and made him sit back again.“And you are the stupid mortal who had brought doom upon us, but I guess what you did was lesser than what was already happening already, so the Ragnarok won’t be entirely your fault.”She said in a snarling voice and Savage frowned at me and everyone in the room and I sighed, then told him everything
Savage,I gasped as I opened my eyes and touched my heart, breathing harshly.I have never felt such pain in my life. It felt like there is fire running through my veins branding me and even though I can feel it, I can’t do anything to stop it except cough up black blood.I looked around me, feeling confused and disoriented, looking for Tamara or anyone who helped me to open my eyes again.But there was no one I was alone sleeping on a couch in my office and it was empty. I opened my mouth to call for my mate.But nothing came out except for some gurgles and coughs. I looked at my hand that was holding my chest, then touched my mouth and found nothing. There is no blood!And I blinked at it in confusion. Was I sleeping for long that they cleaned me meanwhile? But why am I in my office and not in my room on the third floor? And why am I still in my clothes from that fight?I shook my head to clear it from all the thoughts and doubts, then I walked on shaky legs to the door and opened i
Tamara,“Long time no see fox.”Zeus said in his masculine voice and I almost shivered from how deep and beautiful it was, but instead I watched the fox as she shook in anger and hatred.“I fail to see this as a happy reunion, my lord. If you are here to kill me for a second time, be certain that this time I will fight. I have nothing to lose anymore, my lord.”The fox said snarling, and the god frowned as he walked toward us, but then the entire place held their breath and suddenly they dropped to the ground, kneeling and bowing to the god.I blinked at the scene because I didn’t have the obligation to do the same and Zeus frowned at me as he continued walking toward us, but then the fox stood in front of me, blocking his way.“Ah, I see. Then she is the reason that you are here and back in the mortal world. She is your connection and the only thing that connected you to it. She is your anchor.”The god said, smiling, and I shuddered. Is this the moment when he kills me to sever this
Tamara,I stroked my mate’s matted hair and his blood crusted cheeks, then gave him one last long kiss before I turned around and stood in front of Silas.The male gritted his teeth, but when I nodded my head at him with a faint smile on my face, he hardened his features.“I don’t know how you are going to do this, but I don’t mind anything, even the pain.”I said, then closed my eyes and pushed my head back a little to give him some space to work with as I imagined myself joining my mate soon.But then I heard some racket, and a fight started startling me and I opened my eyes to find the entire room in chaos.“How could you approve of such a thing, you coward? How fucking could kill an innocent soul who carries one that didn’t see the light yet?”“They are my responsibility. I will not let you hurt either of them. The alpha asked me to take care of them and the pack as well. I won’t allow it.”“Look at you. Finally found your voices and balls and you were just watching minutes ago. Y
Tamara,“kro….nos. Savage. SAVAGEEEEE. Answer me, please. Plea….se.”I called his name shakily, and I began to wail when I saw his eyes close slowly after he throw up black blood.“HELP. SOMEBODY HELP ME, PLEASEEEEEE.”I touched his face then his chest and felt it as it rose and fell slowly and his heart beating was so slow and he kept opening and closing his mouth trying to say something but it was so hard for him.“No, stop don’t try to speak. I…I will get help.”I said through my tears and he snarled weakly then his eyes closed entirely and my sobbing and wailing rose.“What happened? Minutes ago, he was fine fighting like a damn beast.”Jeremy came running, and he crouched in front of my mate and leaned down trying to listen to his heartbeat then he looked at me frowning.“His heartbeat is so slow and he is barely breathing. We need to go back and let the healer see him. I don’t know what happened to him, but he doesn’t look like he was seriously injured.”The male said as he haul
Savage,“Are you sure about this?”Cyrus asked me when we reached our destination and I nodded my head silently, telling them that I won’t change my mind.He will be the one to search for Tamra and Aryan, not me. I will be here fighting my way through and clearing a path for him.And Silas is back in my territory guarding the pack house because we don’t know if the witch went there or if she is still here.But either way, we will surprise them. This is our only chance to have an upper hand because they don’t know that we found their hiding place.I looked behind and found Jeremy, my head enforcer, along with my warriors and some from the other packs.The alphas were gracious enough to lend me some of their strongest. Even Silas sent his daughter with me, leading half of his warriors.“Just wait for my signal and don’t engage in any fights. Try to avoid them as much as you can.”I told the alpha firmly and even though he didn’t like what I just said and it showed on his face; he nodded
Tamara,I woke up with a start when I heard the loud screams and powerful bangs.“Shh, it is ok, I’m here with you. Something is happening outside. I think they have finally found us.”Aryan said as he hugged me tightly and I stared at the closed door expectantly, but nothing happened even though the sounds and shouts continued.I stood up on shaky legs, still nursing my right kidney because the bitch had kicked my ass because of that damn fox.I leaned my ear against the thick door and tried to listen to what was happening outside, but still, it felt so far and I wasn’t sure about the identity of the people who cause all of that racket.So I began to bang on the door even though I was in so much pain and my legs couldn’t support me at all, but then Aryan joined me and he shouted at the top of his lungs, calling for help, and I copied him.The door was pushed open, and we staggered back, almost falling on our asses expecting Savage or any one of the other alphas, but it was just that
Savage,I was back from another nightly run and went straight to my office.I need to handle some things before I met with the witch today. I must be sure if things went south that my pack will be taken care of.And on the chance that my mate survived this, I wanted to secure their life after my death. I wasn’t sure if she would like to keep living here with the pack or maybe choose to live in the human world.And who would blame her? Her life has been miserable before me and my showing didn’t help and in the end, I hurt her the same as others did.I will leave Sawyer the pack’s responsibility if my mate didn’t want it and some funds to run everything. The rest will go to my mate and pup.I will then send an email to my cousins, the two of them, to inform them of everything that had happened so far and what is about to happen next.I need them to know about my mate and son and respect their choices, but they must keep an eye on them.But not interfere in any life choices of theirs, th
Tamara,It was one of those dreams, but still; you were aware of it.I was back in the woods running and laughing with Savage. We were running in our wolf's form, then human, naked and uncaring.From the beginning, I was aware that it was a dream, but still, I enjoyed it. I even pushed myself further to do everything I have never done with my mate before.We hunted together; we ate together and we even skinny dipped in the small pond together. And when the day was over, we slept in each other’s hands under the moonlight.I even told him how much I loved him and love the baby we are going to have, and he told me how much he loved me and vowed to keep me safe forever.It was so good that I even cried and I know if I woke up just right now, I will find my cheeks wet and I would be a sniffling mess.‘What a nice lie you are living here. Is this your way of escaping your reality? Just pathetic.’A snarky hateful voice said, and I went rigid and slowly Savage’s image began to shake and he v
