Demon Once I take over, I head back towards my mate. She’s mine. Damn, she’s so beautiful. And she’s all mine. For eternity. Some may call me strange, but I’d rather be with a human that the fates have given me than a wolf that I would be forced to choose to take as Luna, only so that I could have an heir to take over the Alpha position. So excuse me for being possessive of my mate when I get her.My whole body is yearning for her touch, so I come closer and crouch on the ground, putting my head under her hand so that her slender fingers run through my fur. I have never felt better, her touch and the tingles running through my body are heavenly!I look into her eyes, hoping she would understand my intention to bring her with me, but she doesn’t seem to realize what I want. Her beautiful silver eyes stare at me in confusion and I have to pretty much force myself to look away from her.I gently take her wrist in my jaw and tug on it to tell her that I want her to follow me.I tell the
Shane I walk around the perimeter, around the clearing, trying to clear my head. I can hardly sleep, the images my mind conjures are too horrific for me to sleep like a normal wolf, so usually I take a walk around the clearing or go for a run, so that I can fall asleep.I watch her leave the Alpha’s house in the middle of the night, sneaking around and carefully checking her surroundings.There is something off about her, and I will figure out what. What was that smell I smelled on her?I follow her through the woods, keeping my distance so that she won’t notice. She seems to be extremely observant and vigilant, making me nervous. I’ve only seen this kind of behavior from rogues or warriors. Watchful, careful and sneaky. She’s something else. And it unnerves me and my wolf.After a while I hear some weird sounds coming from my right, so I go to check it out, leaving the human alone.Turns out it was a small group of rogues on our territory. There were only 4 of them, so the border pa
Beast What the fuck!!! Is the only thought going through my head right now.They changed into wolves. Right in front of me. How is that possible!!!IT’S NOT!!!I must be dreaming! Yeah, that’s it. I am dreaming and I will wake up soon, hopefully back with the black wolf and not THERE.I don’t even have time to ponder over the outrageous situation I’m in, as the wolves are attacking us in the blink of an eye.The grey wolf is unsuccessfully trying to fight five of them, and the other five are coming for me, snarling and growling my way, trying to intimidate me.They should know better. I don’t give a fuck that they are animals now; I will kill them if they try to hurt me.I take a fighting stance and prepare to defend myself, but as soon as one of them charges straight at me, he is smashed into by none other than the black wolf.Now I’m shocked. How did he get here? I didn’t hear him coming!There are other wolves with him, now fiercely fighting off the guards, some of them I recogniz
Demon We reach the clearing and I don’t waste any time getting to my house. I head towards the bedroom, Shane following close behind me. He helps me place my mate gently on the bed, and I step back, admiring my little queen’s beauty; even hurt she’s still breathtaking.Shane stays with me for a while, and I decide to use this chance to tell him what I want from him from now on.‘Shane’ I get his attention away from my mate.‘Yes, alpha.’‘I want you to be her personal bodyguard from now on.’ I tell him, waiting for his reaction. It’s a pretty rash decision for me to make, but I already know he’ll do anything for my mate. He said it himself.'Bodyguard? Alpha, I’m not sure I understand. You want me to guard Luna? But I’m not-' He begins, but I interrupt him before he can continue, knowing he’s about to refuse.‘You’re the best choice. I can tell by the way you protected her today. Besides, you’re the strongest warrior here and you have sharp instincts. That’s why you followed her when
Leo Waking up next to my gorgeous mate is the best feeling in the world. Though I still hope that yesterday didn’t happen. It was horrible, waking up only to find out she was not with me, but facing rogues in the middle of the woods.Seeing her getting attacked invoked that one feeling in me that I was sure I would never feel. Fear. Fear of her getting hurt, of losing her, of her rejecting me, especially now that she found out about what I am.But she didn’t. She stayed.How I wish I could know what’s going on inside her head, what she’s thinking. Will she accept me? Reject me? Stay here? Leave again? This uncertainty is killing me. I wish I could talk to her, to assure her that she’s safe here, with me.While I admire my mate’s sleeping form, Demon is fighting to get out, annoying the shit out of me. Normally, we get along pretty well, but since our mate appeared in front of us, he’s been blocking me whenever he got out, and I’m not sure I like him being the one in control most of t
Beast I’m going crazy. That’s for sure. Ever since I found out about the black wolf, I can’t seem to get the fact that he can be human out of my head. I can’t wait for him to change, so I can get some explanation as to what is going on here.I also started calling him ‘Puppy’ and it’s amusing to see him get annoyed every single time.Puppy hasn’t left my side for the whole day, just like yesterday. He’s been following me around, never leaving me alone. But differently than yesterday, the grey wolf did not look at me the same way.Actually, I think that after the whole ordeal with the guards something changed between us. He protected me from the guards, well, tried to, when he covered me with his body. Now that I know about Puppy, I can’t stop thinking that the grey wolf is probably able to change into a human, too. That all the wolves here are.This whole situation is only giving me a headache. Along with my broken leg, I’m getting tired and – what did Andrew call it? Cracky? Oh, I k
BeastThat fucker will not give up, will he? I barely stopped myself from ripping Dan to pieces. But doing that would mean that I’m no better than the people working for HIM.I stay with Puppy, his nearness is the only thing that stops me from going back there and give into my inner monster. After all, I’m called Beast for a reason. Puppy seems to know exactly what I need because he takes me to the house and leaves me in the bedroom, getting next to me on the bed, snuggling his big head into my body.We stay like this for hours, at some point I even fall asleep in Puppy’s embrace. He is still there when I wake up.It’s nice.Being with him is nice.But there is still that nagging feeling in the back of my head that the whole situation with the guards is just the beginning of something bigger. HE will come back. And I’m not ready. My leg is broken and my previous actions in the prison, or whatever is was, only worsened the pain.I look down to Puppy to see him still snuggled deep into
Leo I wake up in the middle of the night, my fur already dry, and get up on the bed with my mate, positioning myself to embrace her small figure. I’ve been doing this every night, ever since she told me not to get the sheets wet after we shower.It astounds me how comfortable she is around me. She unceremoniously gets naked in front of me, and then we shower together. I let her wash me, since she knows that I can’t do it myself. Usually in wolf form I don’t take showers, but simply go to the lake, but she insisted that she’s not going to let me in bed with her if I don’t clean up, so she took it upon herself to wash my fur. I’m not complaining, though, since it gives me a chance to openly ogle at her body.But at the same time it’s weird. She knows I can change into a human, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to bother her. I can’t wait till we shower together with me in my human form. I wonder if she will be this comfortable wit
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
