SkyeRed takes me back to the house, still in wolf form. I haven’t really paid much attention to him back at the mine, but he’s actually beautiful. The dark fur is silky soft and feels amazing in my hands. He’s really big, too. I couldn’t even get my arms around his neck when he was standing.Red walks inside the house and goes straight to his bedroom, where he lets me get off his back before shifting into human. I cover my eyes, getting a chuckle from him in response.“You can look, little mate. It’s all yours.” He leaves a kiss on the top of my head and I hear his footsteps as he goes to his closet. When he sits on the edge of the bed next to me, I finally take my hand off my eyes and look at him.Only to find him shirtless. Is this a werewolf thing? His father doesn’t wear shirt either!“Come here, little mate. I need you close.” He opens his arms to me, leaving the choice of sitting in his lap to me. I don’t even hesitate, the choice is obvious.Red starts purring the second I set
HunterMy cute mate sits between my legs, reading a book about werewolves. The same one my mom read when she came here. I was surprised it’s still here, but dad said he couldn’t just throw it away, since mom used it to explain various things to my brothers.I watch her silently, content with just having her close. Despite not having slept a lot today, she still decided to stay up, saying she wants to learn more about being a werewolf. She was so adorable that I couldn’t possibly take this away from her.“So I have to go through a ceremony in order to be a part of the pack?” She turns to me questioningly, but I’m too focused on the warmth her small body provides to hear her correctly.“Hunter?” She leans up to my face and that’s when I snap out of my dreamy state.“Hmm?”She chuckles amusedly. “I asked if I have to go through the ceremony to
SkyeI can’t sleep.The thought of those guys coming to find me keeps me awake and I can’t shake off the bad feeling that they’re going to hurt me again.Luna said there’s almost 50 wolves that worked with my father. That’s a huge threat. I can’t understand how could the Alpha pair be so calm about this. I know their pack is not weak, but I don’t want to cause trouble.“What’s wrong, love?” Hunter pulls me to his chest when I turn around. Again.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.”“I wasn’t sleeping. I could feel your agitation, but I waited for you to talk to me. What is it?” He sits up, leaning his back against the headboard and pulls me onto his lap so I straddle him.“What if they come after me?” I express my worries. I can’t bring myself to lie to him when he stares at me wi
RedMine!!! She’s actually mine! My cute little mate.After claiming her mind, body and soul time and time again for hours, my little princess fell asleep. But even then, I couldn’t stop myself from touching and kissing her.My favorite place to nuzzle my face into is her stomach. I will put a baby there one day. That’s for sure.I rub my nose over the soft skin on her neck, keeping my arms wrapped around her midriff, cradling her small body to mine before putting my head on her chest, just listening to her steady heartbeat.“What are you doing?” My little mate asks, her voice slightly raspy from sleep.“I’m cherishing my little mate.”“Red?”“Yeah. – I kiss the mark on her neck – Why are you awake, my love?” I question, since she only slept for few hours, and I know she’s really tired.“I felt s
RedI almost drop my mate as her teeth sink into my neck. But I don’t.She pulls away from my neck and licks away the blood.‘Now you’re mine.’ “You sure know how to surprise me, little mate. I did not expect that.”‘No matter. I want everyone to know you belong to me, but my human didn’t even think about marking you. Had I been stronger, I would’ve mated you right here and now, but you’ll have to wait until I’m stronger.’ I’m shocked, to say the least. I didn’t expect Pearl to be so bold, considering how shy Skye is.“You’re amazing. And so different from Skye. How are you so strong?”’I’m not strong, well, physically speaking, but I’ve been maturing quietly ever since I first connected to my human. I just couldn’t break through. That father of ours poisoned us with silver and wolfsbane, so I couldn’t even help her through her hardships. I regret being unable to support her, but there was nothing I could do.’ I gently lay her down under a tree, making sure she’s in the shade before
LeoIt’s been three days since we encountered rogues from Lucas' pack and brought two of them into the dungeon. Angel and I overpowered them easily, those fuckers didn’t even know what hit them. My Angel looked so beautiful with her bow and arrows, I barely had time to react. Not that I had to, since she’s way stronger than me.A lot of men don’t like it when their woman is stronger than them, thinking it makes them less ‘manly’, but I love how powerful my Angel is. She’s like a goddess amongst the mortals.I’m carrying my Angel to the dungeon, where we’ll interrogate the rogues, or rather – my Angel will. I have nothing against letting her take charge. She’s the Luna of this pack, she’s the one that suffered at the hands of the facility’s boss, she’s the one that he sought after for years.Angel keeps playing with my hair as she sits on my shoulders, while Hunter and Pearl walk behind us. Pearl stayed with us for the whole three days, leaving Skye at the back of their mind. Apparentl
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
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
