Skye“No, absolutely not! I can’t!” I slam the bathroom door and sit in front it, hiding my face in my knees.“Babe, come on, it’s not a big deal.” Hunter tries to convince me.“No! You can’t make me!”“Skye, open the door, let’s talk.” He pleads, but I’m unrelenting. I will never agree to this outrageous idea.“Please, Hunter. I just want to be alone.”“Oh no, you don’t. – I hear him mutter – Move away from the door before I break through it.” He warns and I can hear in his voice that he’s being serious.So I get up from the floor and sit on the edge of the bathtub. Hunter storms inside with a determined and slightly angry look on his gorgeous face. It doesn’t scare me, but I feel guilty about being so immature about this, it’s not Hunter’s fault that I’m so weak.“Love, talk to me.” Hunter kneels in front of me and grasps my hands.“I- I can’t do it. I’m not strong enough, I will never be able to face them all.”“I will be there with you, there’s no need to be afraid. They want to m
SkyeThe walk to the training area is short, spent chatting and joking about how hungry the guys are by now. Luna’s sons don’t say anything, just carrying the dishes filled with food we prepared earlier.The Alpha is the first to notice us, grinning lovingly at his mate. “Angel!” He greets Luna cheerfully, hugging her tightly once she’s close enough, not even minding the fact that he’s shirtless.“My love.” Luna returns his greeting with a searing kiss, completely ignoring everyone around them.I avert my gaze from them, not really wanting to see the Alpha pair’s affection, and I don’t notice someone coming up behind me.“Hey, baby.” Familiar arms snake around me, as Hunter hugs me to his hard bare chest. Due to hard workout he must’ve gotten during the training, his scent is much stronger than usual as sweat pours out his pores.“Hi.” What was supposed to be a confident greeting ends up a quiet squeak.“Cute.” I hear him mutter into the crook of my neck.“We brought some food for you
HunterI can hear the patrol get beaten before a horde of wolves runs our way. I quickly pull Skye behind me, paying no mind to my parents and warrior coming.A dark -haired man, looking to be in his mid-thirties, comes out of the woods, with a bunch of Lucas’ warriors and some unknown wolves close behind. My dad comes forth and growls threateningly, while mom aims her bow at the intruder.“Please, I mean no harm.” The man pleads, raising his arms in surrender. He looks… tired.“State your business before I kill you.” Dad snarls, getting a quiet sigh from the man in response.I watch stunned as a small adoring smile adorns his face when he notices my mate. The shock immediately turns to fury, making me growl loudly at him. “Take your eyes off her, rogue!”My reaction snaps him out of the dreamy state. “Rogue?!” he exclaims in shock.Mom drops her bow and approaches the guy, looking him over skeptically. “Who are you?”“My name is Brian Davis. I’m the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, l
SkyeMy ‘dad’ spends few days with us, of course with Alpha and Luna’s permission. He tried to spend every minute with me to make up for the lost time, but it only made me feel trapped and uncomfortable.It’s not that I’m not happy to find out that the man who’d been hurting me my whole life was not my father, but I don’t feel anything towards Brian. I’ve never met the man, I don’t feel the bond he spoke of, I don’t have any kind of connection with him.Hunter and Red have been my biggest support during this difficult time. I will be forever grateful for them. They understand my apprehension about getting close to my father, they feel my uneasiness, but at the same time they don’t try to shield me from the inevitable, instead encouraging me to spend time with Brian and get to know him.Today my ‘dad’ and I are going to join the training with Luna and Hunter. I was surprised at first when I heard that Hunter is going to train with his mother separately, since he already trains every da
RedI watch silently as realization dawns on my little mate. I noticed the change in her scent few days ago, but it was my mother who told me what it meant. I suspected this, but I wasn’t sure.“Grandchild? You’re pregnant?” Brian quietly asks, gazing at my mate with tears in his eyes. Someone's emotional.“I-”“Yes, we’re having a baby.” I answer confidently when my little Skye can’t find the right words. At my admission Skye turns to me with wide eyes before looking down to her stomach. She’s not showing yet, but for someone with sharper senses, like me and my mother, the change is already noticeable.“Red?” I hear the slight panic in my little mate’s voice, so I immediately carry her away, leaving stunned Brian behind.Heading straight to our favorite bench, carved from a fallen log, I sit down, setting my my on my legs. “Calm, my love.” I try to soothe.“I- I’m pregnant!” She cries out hysterically, shaking in my arms.“I know.” I proudly grin.“Oh goddess! What if it’s my fath-”
SkyeThe journey to my dad’s pack is a long one. At first I couldn’t get used to the vibration of the car, slightly panicking whenever we met a bump on the road. I’ve never been in a car, so everything felt weird to me.It took a few days for dad’s beta to arrange a vehicle for us, and thankfully there’s a road leading to the pack, so he could come right to Alpha’s house. Luna explained to me that during the last 20 years or so, the pack took care of the infrastructure of the pack land, making sure to have good connection with the town outside the woods. Since they’re not cursed anymore and don’t have to stay as wolves for most of the time, they can take care of the pack’s needs without another alpha’s assistance. Apparently, a neighboring alpha, Alpha Leo’s friend, was helping with the necessities, even lending few of his female wolves to help cleaning the pack’s houses. I was surprised when I heard this, but I figured that during the hundred years they were cursed, they had to manag
HunterI wake up to Skye sleepily stirring on top of me. She had no trouble falling asleep, doing so still in my arms while I carried her inside, but during the night she woke up a few times.“Good morning, love.” I greet when those gorgeous chocolate eyes meet mine. Skye groans tiredly and drops her head on my chest. I stroke her hair, massaging her scalp with my fingers soothingly.“Morning… What time is it?” She quietly mumbles.“Almost 11.”“What do we have to do today?”“You can start by getting out of bed.” I whip my head towards the door, where I’m met by my mother and Brian. They’re both staring at us with smiles on their faces and their arms crossed against their chests, leaning against the doorframe. They fist-bump, grinning widely as Skye scrambles off my body and hurriedly tries to tame her wild hair, muttering apologies continuously.“I didn’t hear you come in…” I trail off, confused, as I sit up and move to the edge of the bed, facing the intruders.“The whole house was
Skye“Skye? Are you alright?” I hear Hunter call out from outside the bathroom. I’m about to answer him, but another wave of puke stops me. I dry heave into the toilet bowl due to lack of food in my stomach.“Skye?” Hunter repeats, increasingly worried.“I- I’m fine.” I cough up, panting in exertion as I flush the toilet and walk up to the sink to brush my teeth. I need to get rid of that horrid acid taste in my mouth.“You don’t sound fine, love. Can I come in?”“No. I’ll be right out.”“Okay, I’ll wait here.” I only sigh at this. Hunter’s been really overprotective lately and has barely left me alone, unless it was with his mother. She’s been training me and Pearl, my wolf every day, that’s of course when I felt good enough to train. Lately I’ve been feeling awful, so we had to postpone our training. Morning sickness is a bitch. ‘I know, right? I feel so weak and tired.’ Pearl agrees with me. After she got stronger, mainly due to being mated and trained properly by both our dad and
Third Person POVCade watches as the two humans study the book in Lia’s hands, occasionally checking on Alex as he lies on the bed next to his. It’s been over two hours since he started giving Alex his blood, along with two other guards, but there’s still no improvement.If anything, it seems to have gotten worse.“Why don’t we go get something to eat? It doesn’t look like anything’s happening…” Blake suggests after a while.“Can you bring me something? I’d rather stay here to watch over him.” Lia glances at her man over her shoulder, getting a smile from him before he kisses her softly and carefully gets off the bed.Once Blake is gone from the clinic, Cade turns to the human girl. “I don’t think your treatment helped. – he tells her seriously, disconnecting the tube from his arm – He’s starting to stink.”“Sti
Ivy ‘Stay in the house, my love. We’re coming back.’ I hear Ren’s frantic voice in my head and I immediately go rigid.“Ren is coming back. I think something’s wrong.” I tell my friends, panicking slightly.Before Lia or Blake can even say anything, Cade and Vince storm inside and take a protective stance in front of us, shielding us from the door and window.“What’s going on?” Lia questions suspiciously.“They found Alex. – Leo says as he gets up from his seat and goes to the front door – They’re bringing him in.”Alex?! They found him? I’m on pins and needles as I wait for my Ren and Thea to come back, nearly bursting in anticipation. I catch Hunter and Leo walk outside, but I’m stopped from following them by none other than Skye.“Trust me, it’s better if you
Onyx Lorenzo kept me away for way too long. Technically, Ivy is already ours, but I still wanted to claim her myself, which is why I couldn’t let my chance pass when it finally came.I was afraid that I would be too rough with our mate, but she seemed as eager as me, reciprocating my passion with equal fervor.Though I still wore her out. After taking my woman over and over again, she fell asleep from exhaustion with a satisfied smile on her face. Had it not been for her having our abilities I would’ve been worried about hurting her, but I know she’s already healed and she won’t be even sore once she wakes up.I hope she wakes up soon, I can’t wait to see her gorgeous chocolate eyes and sweet smile. It’s been so long since I was alone with my queen and I want to cherish every moment I get.Keeping my queen in my arms, I trail my nose over her slender neck, peppering feathery kisses
IvyThe house that supposedly belongs to Jake is nothing like I expected. I don’t know why, but I honestly thought he lived in a dark, scary castle with dead trees around it, not a beautiful mansion with a gorgeous, although neglected, garden. This is really shocking.I keep a tight hold on Ren’s hand as he leads towards the house, trying my best to not cringe when the men guarding the front door bow in greeting. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this. Whenever Ren and I meet some wolves, they immediately bow down to us. It makes me really uncomfortable and embarrassed.Ren and I wait for the others to join us then go inside the house, heading straight to Jake’s office for whatever reason. I’m not sure what we’re looking for, but I trust Ren’s judgment.Once we’re inside, my man immediately gestures at everyone to take their seats at the long table, not even minding the
LorenzoI notice my little queen rub her forehead tiredly as she thinks about everything that was revealed over the last few hours.“Tired, my love?” I ask her worriedly, getting a quiet sigh in response as Ivy leans her head against my chest.“Not really… It’s just so overwhelming. So much is happening and we still don’t have any answers.” She murmurs quietly and I rub her back comfortingly.“How long till we land?” Thea asks curiously.I check my watch quickly. “Almost two hours.”“Do you have any transport arranged to get us from the airport? I’m guessing we’re not running all the way to the pack.”“I do. I already talked to Cade. He’ll get some men to pick us all up from Hotchkiss. I have my private airport there.”“You have private airports all over the country, so I’m not
IvyI don’t know when I fell asleep, but when I wake up I’m still in Ren’s arms on the comfortable bed on the plane. I snuggle closer to him, taking in his comforting scent. After hearing what Lia found out, I can’t help but be anxious.My mom is most likely the witch that wants to kill Ren. Then who’s my dad? If he was on it too then surely he must know about my mother’s real identity.No wonder they were pushing me to marry Jake. They were planning on getting me marked by him just so Ren would be weak.Where do I go from this?How do I get over the fact that the people I thought to be my parents were just keeping me for the sake of hurting the man I came to love?“What are you thinking, my love?” Ren asks quietly, stroking my hair in a soothing manner.“Who am I, Ren? Everything I’ve known was a lie, a conspiracy to kill you…” I w
LorenzoIvy stays snuggled into me as she talks with Skye. I’m so glad she found a new friend that she can connect to. Since the girls are quite close in age, they might be able to spend many years together, centuries even.I saw Beast, sorry, Thea give Lia some book before the young human left to read it in peace in one of the bedrooms. It’s been a few hours since she left and I can tell that Blake is on the verge of blowing up. The longer he spends without his girl, the more agitated he is. Their connection is as admirable as it is weird.I feel my body tense up when I hear Lia crying in the bedroom before she rushes back to the rest of us, with her face stricken with tears and her body shaking terribly.Blake is the first to react. He shoots up from his seat and pulls his girl into his arms, letting her cry into his chest as he holds her.“I know everything! Everything!” Lia cries o
Lia The moment we entered the plane, Thea asked to speak to me privately. Judging by her tone, it must be serious, so I didn’t say anything and simply joined her by the window.“I brought something for you. Well, Aiden did, but I was the one that asked him to get if for me. – She gets a small old-looking book from her backpack and lays it on the table between the seats – I believe this belonged to Thalia, but I can’t read it. I thought that maybe you, as a witch, can see what’s inside.”“What do you mean you can’t read it?” Blake questions quietly.“It’s not that I’m incapable of reading things, I'm not illiterate. I mean that I can’t read it because all I see are blank pages. It’s almost as if something is protecting the contents from being seen.”“And you think I will be able to see it? I don’t know anything
IvyRen doesn’t even try to argue with me when I tell him I’m coming with him. It’s either because he knows it’s no use, or because he doesn’t want to leave me alone.“When do we leave?” I ask him quietly, nuzzling my cheek against his as I lean over him from behind. Usually it’s me being coddled, so it’s a nice change to be the hugger this time. I’m kneeling behind Ren’s back, with my arms wrapped around his neck as I snuggle into him.“As soon as possible. It’s going to take over twelve hours to get there, so the sooner we go, the better. Why don’t you pack your bag while I arrange the plane, hmm?” Ren suggests, taking my hand from his neck and placing a small kiss on the back of it.“Okay. And don’t stress too much, everything’s going to be okay.” I kiss his ear, feeling an inexplicable urge to reassure him.
