Leo
I’m making dinner for my little queen, with her watching me like a hawk while she drinks her hot chocolate. At first, she wanted to cook herself, but after some persuading, she let me do it. I want to spoil her, she’s gone through so much in her life.
We stayed in the clearing for a few hours, with my Angel on my shoulders, overseeing the training, giving comments and advice to the guys. My warriors listened to her every word, much to my surprise. Only Mason, who’s already healed, ignored her, which earned him a hard glare from me and warning growls. He’s on his way to be demoted real fast.
I was not the only one who didn’t like the way my Beta – soon-to-be warrior – treated my mate. Each Dead beat him up in a fight for that. Despite my previous aversion towards them, I actually like how loyal they are to my Angel.
“Leo?” I’m brought back from my thoughts by my mate’s voice.
BeastMidnight strikes.I feel my eyes water, before a strangled sob escapes my mouth.I keep crying for what feels like eternity. My heart is about to burst out of my chest.My whole body trembles as my hands clutch onto the closest thing I can reach.Leo’s fur.He whines lowly, nuzzling his nose in the crook of my neck.‘I’m so sorry my love, I’m so fucking sorry!’ He wails through the mind link, wrapping his front paws around me.“I want you back! Come back!!!” I scream at him. “This is not funny!”Suddenly someone barges through the door. My eyes widen in shock at the sight of Grey.He’s human!“What the hell?!” He exclaims, seeing Leo’s wolf.“Why are you human?” I ask through my tears.“The whole pack is. Leo is the only one who shifted. He called me here.” He sound
LeoThe next three weeks go this way: we wake up together, we eat together, then we go to the training area, where I watch my Angel train with the guys, and then we come back, eat dinner, shower and go to bed.Angel is extremely stressed out, and I think everyone can feel her agitation. During training, she pushes the guys hard, not giving them time to rest. But no one dares to complain. Mason did, once. It almost cost him his life, had it not been for Doc.Axe went back to the facility, per Angel’s request, but she didn’t tell me why she sent him there.Ever since she saw the picture of the witch, she’s been blocking me out completely, so I have no idea what’s going on. But I noticed the look on her face. She knows that woman. How? I have no idea. My best guess is that she met her at the facility, but when I asked, she just told me not to worry, which makes me worry even more.It’s deeply upset
BeastI stay completely glued to Leo/Demon all the time. Now that they’re back to being human, they can’t keep their hands off me. I’m not complaining, though, I absolutely love it.“What are you thinking about, Angel?” Leo asks after a while. We’re lying in bed, resting after the strenuous workout we just got. For some reason, we never manage to settle for one session so we always end up completely exhausted and I love every second of it. My head lies on his shoulder and I keep running my finger over his chest as he caresses my arm.“Nothing really, just how lucky I am.” I smile at him, giving him a quick peck.“You know, the pack is pushing me to get you to go through the ceremony.” I sigh. He’s told me about this. For the last weeks that’s all I’ve been hearing about from the pack. Even though Leo was a wolf, they’ve been talking about this nonstop.The ceremony is where I slash my palm and join hands with everyone from the pack
LeoThey’re here.Of all the possible times they could come, they choose the ceremony!Those motherfuckers!“Delta, get the Deads ready and contact others. Axe, how far are they?” My Angel takes charge immediately, while I mind link the females and pups to hide. We have hidden basements under every house that serve as hideouts, and the only people who can open them are the pack members.‘Don’t leave the hideout until I tell you it’s okay.’ I tell them before going to the dungeon with the Deads, my warriors, and my mate. I feel her hand tense in mine.‘My love, you should hide with the others. I don’t want you hurt.’ I try to reason with her, but all I get is a furious glare sent my way.‘Like I will let you handle them alone! Don’t even think about it!’ “Beast, they’re getting closer. The Dead patrol won’t be able to stop them.” Delta says, getting a message through the mind link.
BeastI quickly search the area for the boss, but I don’t see him. My whole body is covered in blood, my swords are dripping with the remains of it and the whole area around me is splattered with guts and body parts I severed, painting the ground red.I hear thundering footsteps storming my way, so, gripping my swords tightly, I turn around and slide under the Undead, slashing him open, then stab his heart to kill him.From the corner of my eye I notice a man approaching one of the wolves with a knife. I quickly retract a small throwing knife from the belt of my harness before throwing it at the man, aiming at his head. It hits him with perfect accuracy, killing him right away. Human.I throw almost all of my knives at the armed men, taking them out one by one. Since I’m to be captured alive, the guys concentrate on everyone else, probably thinking that if they reduce our numbers, it’ll be easier to get me.As if!I
LeoI watch my mate’s chest rise with every breath she takes, as she lies in our bed motionless.It’s been over a month since the battle. I almost lost my little angel. Why did I think she would shoot me? Hurt me? I honestly hope my Angel will forgive me for this, even though I will never forgive myself. This will haunt me for the rest of my life, knowing that I’m the reason she’s an Undead, something she didn’t want to be.I cradle my mate’s body in my arms, trying to stop the bleeding from her neck. “Get Doc!!!” I yell out in absolute agony. I know he’s somewhere around, helping the guys who got hurt. I feel as if my heart will burst out of my chest from the pain I’m feeling right now as my mate’s blood spills through my fingers, along with her life. She can’t die!!! I won’t let her die.I notice Shane rip the fucker who attacked Angel to shreds with his bare hands. He’s one of the few who wer
5 years laterBeastI watch the fight in front of me with a critical look. The person winning is not exactly fighting fair, but in the battlefield it doesn’t matter that much, so they have to know how to deal with their opponents in a situation like this.“Beast, how long will you make them do this? Claw looks exhausted.” Aiden laughs from beside me, as I sit in what they call ‘the throne’.“Until they get it right. They can’t keep relying on their learned techniques, the instinct is important too.” I answer him, not taking my eyes of Claw and Hammer in the ring. Hammer clearly has the upper hand, since he takes my every advice seriously.“You’re still so ruthless.” He laughs. “Axe said something about trouble at the border, what do you want to do about it?” He gets serious suddenly. I know exactly which border he's talking about. Leo's been trying to get to me all the time for the last
ShaneI’ve been watching my Alpha get consumed by depression and self-hate for 5 years.And I can see that he can’t take it anymore.Luna has to come back to him, heal him, bring him back.The whole pack is struggling without our Luna, and it’s been like that for years. I tried to at least talk to her, but the Deads on the border never let me in their territory.They claimed the No Man’s Land as theirs, establishing a pack of their own, with OUR Luna as their leader. It’s now the Undead Land, as people call it. Other packs have tried reaching out to them, too, but with no results. They have completely cut themselves off from everyone.Today is my last chance to change Luna’s mind. Leo is planning on taking another Luna for the pack, giving up on his mate. And the woman in question is not a Luna material. AT ALL. She’s materialistic, snobby, obnoxious and demanding. How the hell did she seduce our Alpha is a mystery, but I think she managed to do that because she made herself look like
LorenzoMy heart feels like it’ll beat its way out of my chest as I drive back to Berkeley. It’s been fucking weeks since I was last here and I can’t believe I’d ever say this, but I miss this place. I think it’s because my mate is there.I can’t wait to see her.I’ve been trying to find out why those rogues and humans had the Alpha King’s emblem on them, but my effort was fruitless. Almost every human had their tongue cut off and the wolves didn’t know who was behind the attacks. This is getting really messy.Just as I enter the city, there’s an unsettling feeling in my chest, a heaviness that restricts my lungs to the point of being painful. And I have this uneasy feeling it’s connected to my mate.There’s something wrong with Ivy.I speed through the streets of Berkeley, heading straight to Ivy’s apartment complex, cursing at every slow driver that stops me from reaching my destination. It would be so much faster to just run, but how can I do this in the city filled with people?! I

IvyThere’s only one thing I didn’t want to happen on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It’s the one thing I’ve been dreading happening ever since I moved here.So, of course – it happens right when I don’t want it to happen.Dad calling… I take a deep breath to calm my racing heartbeat then pick up the phone. “Hi dad…” I quietly greet him, sitting on the couch with my pajama clad legs against my chest. I noticed that whenever I talk to my parents, I always curl up on myself to get some… sense of security. Why do I need to feel secure while talking to my own parents? I don’t know.“What took you so long to pick up the phone, Yvette? Are you with someone? Is it a boy?!” Dad demands harshly, making me flinch at the loudness of his voice.“N-No… I was just studying…” I stammer pathetically, like every other time I talk to my dad.“Good.”I bite my lip unsurely, debating on whether to ask the question burning in my mind. “W-Why did you call, dad?”“I’m calling to warn you that I’m on my way to
LorenzoThe few Alphas gathered in the room are getting on my nerves. They keep interrupting the meeting and I have to put them in their place just to be able to continue. I’ve been constantly meeting with the packs for the last weeks due to the difficult situation with recent attacks on them. Almost every pack has been attacked and suffered a great damage.Almost.The Dark Moon Pack, where I am at the moment, hasn’t really suffered, having the strongest army on the whole continent, led by none other than Beast.She and her army of Deads easily dealt with the attackers and even managed to catch a few of them alive. After I visited the packs that didn’t handle their situation so well, I came here to interrogate the intruders.Right now I’m sitting in Alpha Kingston’s office, with his mate, Thea, his son Theo, - I wonder what happened to their firstborn, Hunter - and a few neighboring alphas accompanying us. The men are way chattier than I would’ve liked. I hate having to listen to thei
IvyMy whole Saturday is spent studying for the upcoming tests I have next week. I need to revise the material so I can get a good grade. The amount of assignments is overwhelming, but I don’t mind. I’d rather do this than spend another evening watching sad movies and eating junk food.Lia and Blake are with the football team in Los Angeles, where they have a game tonight. But even though they’re busy, Lia still called me to check how I was doing. She’s been doing that all the time whenever I wasn’t with her, mainly because of the situation at the club few weeks ago.I haven’t seen the man Lia beat up again, but it may be because I spend most of my time outside with her and Blake. The fact that they’re being watched by some bikers might also be a reason for my peace.After few hours of working on my assignments my doorbell rings, almost sending me into a panic attack. I know for a fact it’s not Lia, Blake or the guys from the team, since they’re all in a different state, and I don’t r
IvyThe next weeks were quite peaceful, spent mostly with my friends. Lia wasn’t joking when she said she’s not going to leave me alone. Whenever I went out, she was there with me. Today we even have kind of a girls’ day and it’s the best thing ever. I noticed that Lia doesn’t like girly stuff, so we didn’t do anything like that. We went for massages then got our hair done, and then we went to dinner to this cute little bistro Lia recommended.I was genuinely shocked when Lia told me she wants to dye her hair ash blonde, but damn does it look good on her. She had three sessions at the salon, today’s one being the last one.We talked about anything and everything the whole day, getting really close. It's so nice to spend time with someone so genuine and honest. She doesn't beat around the bush or pretend to like something she doesn't. When I suggested going shopping earlier, she straight ot told me she hates it and she'd rather not show me her angry side, saying it might scare me.“Oh
IvyI should’ve known. It was too perfect to be true.I’m so stupid.I put another spoonful of my favorite chocolate ice cream in my mouth, sobbing quietly as I watch the movie. I try to convince myself that the tears that flow down my face are caused by the death scene playing on the screen and not the fact that I was stood up.I glance at the dress I chose for the date with disdain, hating how it’s going to remind me of today every time I look at it. I shouldn’t have believed that a man like Lorenzo would want anything to do with me. He was probably making fun of me, like all the other guys that have ever asked me out.The first guy to ever play with me like that was my crush from middle school. He was so charming and polite when he asked me on a date that I immediately agreed, all too eager to be with him. He showed up, unlike Lorenzo, but the date was horrible. When he asked me if I had fun, I lied, afraid of offending him. Only then did he tell me that it was all fake, laughing i
LorenzoI asked her out. I know it might’ve been too fast, but I just couldn’t stop myself. After millennia spent alone, I finally found my little mate and I’ll be damned if I let her get away.“Someone looks happy.” Alex comments as he works on his laptop. I was unable to wipe the grin off my face the whole way here, so it’s no wonder he noticed the change of my mood. “What happened?”“I found my mate. – I grin when I see his eyes bulge out – And I asked her out.”“Already?!” He shrieks before clearing his throat. “I mean, already? Isn’t that a bit fast? Who is she?” He gives me a skeptical look.“She’s human, that’s for starters. I need to get close to her the traditional way. If I just suddenly told her she’s mine cause she’s my mate, she’d freak out. – I shrug, pouring myself a drink – I met her yesterday.” I smile fondly at the memory of my little mate in that cute little top and jeans.“Yesterday? – Alex trails off confusedly – But you were at the…”“At the club, yeah.” I nod, p
IvyMr. Lorenzo, David and I sit in Lia and Blake’s living room, waiting for my friends impatiently. I’m still shaken from the whole incident at the club, but for some reason the huge jacket the Mr. Lorenzo put on me earlier gives me a sense of security. It’s so warm and big, and it smells of Mr. Lorenzo. I wish I could just bottle it up and smell it forever. It’s so tantalizing.“Um, excuse me… - I get their attention – I would like to go home to change clothes, if you don’t mind. I’m covered in… blood.” I scowl at the stains on my body. I guess I got them by hugging Lia earlier.“Of course, sweetheart. Where do you live?” Mr. Lorenzo asks softly, staring at me with those golden eyes of his that resemble molten honey. I could get lost in them for eternity.“Just next door. – I answer, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear – I’ll just, uh, go and come back in few minutes. Is that okay?” I don’t know why but I feel like I have to ask them.David only chuckles in amusement. “Sure, go ah
