As soon as she let go and moved away, my body felt numb and cold, and the incredible sensation of tingles left my body. All I want is for her to be back in my arms and her scent all around me. “What do you want to do then?” She asks, blinking up at me shyly. This girl will be the death of me... one minute, she’s all angry and annoyed. Then the next minute, she’s all blushing and shy. I stop suddenly before moving forward to grab her hand. I hadn’t realized she was only wearing the grey shirt. ‘Because she ran here stupid,’ Jace grumbles. ‘Nice of you to join,’ I grumble back. ‘Don’t give me attitude. You're lucky it wasn’t worse; I had to calm Kia down a lot, and half the time, I couldn’t get to her because she blocked me,’ Jace mumbles. 'She almost rejected me,' I reply, protesting. 'Yes, thank goodness you knew to kiss her, or we would be mateless, and our pack wouldn't have a Luna." I block Jace as he continues his rant and takes in her figure while she's waiting for my ans
Tingles fill my body as I snuggle against Zander. Kia is practically purring with happiness being so close to our mate. The sun has moved over to this side of the house, slowly setting into the evening, warming up the bedrooms upstairs as we sit here, flicking through the photos and talking. I have to give him credit. I half thought he would make a move, something sexual or another kiss. I was hoping he would lean in for another kiss just a little bit, but I guess he didn't want to push his luck. It worries me a little bit that Mum knows Zander is my mate. It explains what happened this morning. The weird thing is I couldn't even remember anything from back then. He was so cute when he was a baby. It seems his hair sprouted as he got older and he has the same eyes as his mother. I wish I remembered her or knew her. She and mum looked like they were great friends, like Chloe and me. A pang of guilt washes over me as I think about my friends and family not knowing about Zander yet.
We finished our classes for the day and caught up and chatted on the football stands, waiting for the guys to finish training. The sun is still out so we are in no rush to head home. I got home not too late yesterday evening, just as everyone finished dinner and went to do their own thing. I thankfully didn't get into any trouble with my parents for skipping out on school. I know I had a valid reason, but I didn't want to tell them just yet. It was hard to leave Zander last night. I missed him instantly, and Kia wanted to return to our mate every moment. It was harder than I thought. “Earth to Ashleigh,” Chloe called, waving her hands in my face, pulling me out of my daydream. “Huh?” I asked, blinking away my daze. “You know we have been talking about tonight for the last 5 mins,” Chloe says. “What’s happening tonight?” I asked stupidly. “What or who has you in the daydream?” Chloe asks. Crap, I hate it when she calls me out on stuff. “Umm, no one.” I shake my head furiously,
As soon as Ashleigh left the field, I was on high alert. I knew she was here to be with her friends and brother, but I couldn't help but feel a little smug every time she looked my way. I could feel her eyes on me every damn time. Ashleigh was sitting there all beautiful in skinny white jeans and a red singlet top with a leather jacket. She had taken off the jacket as her back faced the sun to capture the warmth. The struggle to want to go and claim her was so very real, especially when she was there teasing me the way she was. I saw some guys from both sides looking at her and talking. They were definitely interested in her, but all of them knew she was waiting for her mate, and now she had turned of age, the race was on to see who would claim her first. Little do they know I already have. Every day I preen when I see that shiny little item tucked away in her hair, so fucking satisfied even though no one knows yet. It's always worth it. I let Danni and the others know I needed to
The sun shines shone through the window shutters, landing on the king-sized bed with the three of us sprawled across it. "Turn the damn thing off," Chloe groans, hitting me on the side as alarm sounds ring through the early morning. It was well and truly the next morning when we fell asleep. It was nice to catch up with the girls. I felt like it had been ages since everything had moved quickly with Zander. Chloe's room is cream, mint green, with a few gold highlights. She has mint green covers and pillows, and her chair in the corner next to her massive walk-in wardrobe is also mint green with cream and gold pillows. Yes, we see each other at school, but that talk is usually about school and other bits and bobs since there are so many unwanted ears around. It's hard to have meaningful conversations without people listening. It was so hard trying to keep Zander a secret last night. I nearly slipped up once or twice. Chloe was too engrossed in babbling about her and Bobby to notice.
Fuck me. This girl is making it harder and harder for me to keep the promise I made her. As soon as she stepped out of that car, Jace completely took over and wanted to claim her right there and then. That innocent, sweet smile of hers draws me in every damn time, but today, it was filled with lust and longing. I could smell her arousal from here. I'm sure every other male wolf could as well. Others are starting to circle, making Jace even more possessive and harder to control, our mate so close yet so far away. It was starting to piss me off. 'Let me go to her,' Jace growls, frustrated with our situation. We want to respect her wishes, but fuck, when she dresses like that, she knows what she's going to get. 'We can't, Jace, but I have an idea.' She has no idea what she has got herself into. Play with fire, and you will get burned, sweetheart. I smirk as she turns and walks into school with her friends. Jace chuckles at my idea as I show him what I plan on doing. Jace then goes in
After the most incredible experience of my life, it was hard not to keep my hands off Zander for the rest of the day. Whenever I am near him or see him, Kia perked up, egging me to go and be with him, to claim him … to show everyone that he is mine. By now I feel like I know him. I feel like he completes me. Friday afternoon couldn't come fast enough. I want to finish what we started in the bathroom, as did Kia. I made sure I packed a few little things and took my car today so I wouldn’t have to go home and get bombarded with questions from my parents and family about what I would be doing on a Friday night. If tonight goes well, maybe tomorrow before the party I can announce to my family that I have a mate. I couldn't wait to tell him. I didn't want to tell him yesterday in case any unwanted ears were listening. I got weird looks all day after our activity in the bathroom, probably because this time I didn't hide his scent, although I was surprised Brent or Olly didn't ask on the
The best fucking sex of my life. No matter how many I have been with, the pure pleasure of the bond flowed through us, making it a hundred times better than any experience I have ever had. Lying here in the middle of the night, my mind wanders, thinking of all the possibilities that could go wrong when we tell our families. That's part of why I suggested one more week so we can mentally prepare for all the different outcomes. But holding her here at this moment makes me want to forget all the problems and mark and claim her fully. Jace has finally settled in the back of my mind, but his possessiveness still flows through. He doesn't want to leave this place without her or without marking her. I don't blame him because there is a party tonight with more people than we would like. I'm so used to getting up and leaving in the middle of the night. I never hang around and always make sure I go to their place instead of mine. No one has ever been in my bed. No one has ever stayed the nigh
**Grace** I lay on the hotel's disgusting bed, looking up at the cracked pink paint, watching every scrap as it peels off, falling from the ceiling. The dimly lit light flickers through the room as I try to focus on the walls around me. “Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me,” I softly sing as tears stream down my face. How did everything get so fucked up? I had a foolproof plan that would have worked if he didn’t find his fucking mate. Who would have guessed Ashleigh Steward was my boyfriend's mate? I honestly thought it would be me. I’m an Alpha's daughter; I had a higher possibility. We had a magnetic attraction from the start, and everyone back home said we were perfect together. Dad is obsessed with Zander. But then, all he ever wants is power and money. Charwood, being the biggest pack in the country, has both. ‘We should go out. I saw a bar when we walked past here,’ my wolf Talia says encouragingly, pushing forward hopefully. ‘We need to stay hidden, Talia,’ I
I stand at the end of the aisle in front of a room full of hundreds of people, the majority of whom I know. I know most of my pack and most of the Alphas and Betas who accepted today's invitation. Dad made a point of inviting nearly everyone to Ash’s Luna ceremony. Guess he was finally over all of the grudges and is ready for a new beginning. Jace is bouncing around in my head, anticipation to finally see her. Danni is next to me, buzzing with excitement. This kid, it feels like he’s always a ball of happiness. He and Eric adore Ash, and I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to help protect her and be by our side in leadership. Her family are here except for her uncle and aunt. I’m glad her mother and father were able to come today. I could feel how happy she was through our bond. She was fucking ecstatic when they arrived this morning. Oliver and Brent are sitting next to Kylie in the front. Brent looks a little uneasy, but Oliver doesn’t seem to mind anymore. He's been back he
After everything that life has thrown at me this year, I was so proud and excited to finish school and go to one of the best universities in the country to study psychology. Graduation went beautifully; I was so happy mum and dad both came and saw me give my valedictorian speech, and despite everything I was glad they supported me. It was a huge honour to be the school's valedictorian this year. it put a little bit of pressure on me, having to write a speech, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. The dinner was beautiful, something they held yearly to send off the seniors after stressful exams. I appreciated saying thank you and goodbye to everyone, I hoped I would still see them in the future, but no one can make any promises. I had one more fabulous night with my girls, Chloe and Skyla and I was filled with laughter and love. Our friendship won’t ever change, no matter what pack we are in. Thankfully, Zander has accepted that. I’m glad I chose psychology. I wanted to choose
The last few weeks have been crazy. With Ashleigh’s recovery, our exams finally ending, and graduation just around the corner … It has just been a whirlwind of activities. I was so fucking proud of my girl when she announced that she got accepted into all the universities she applied to. Now she just has to choose her major and decide which one to go to. Personally, I admit that I am running pretty low on energy just dealing with Ashley’s anxiety and dad showing me the ropes of running the pack. Don’t get me wrong, I love my girl, but sometimes, feeling her anxiety through our bond can hit me like a tidal wave and completely throw me off for the entire day. As Danni has learnt, whatever she is feeling, I feel it tenfold. Today we finally had a meeting with the council. We tried to have one immediately, but they kept changing it and blocking us. It was their fifth time adjusting the schedule, and even then, they called everyone this morning and said today was open only for an hour
The pain that radiated throughout my body is now gone. I can’t feel anything ... I can't see anything. Instead, I find myself alone in this pitch-black void. ‘Kia, Kia’, I try to call out to her, hoping she will help me pull out of this. Once again, I’m left with emptiness. My mind spirals, thinking of all the possibilities, the “what ifs”, and trying to figure out what just happened. I’m numb; it feels like nothing exists anymore. If this is death, it is a horrible place to be … a black void with nothing by me and my hazy, uncertain thoughts. I miss them … Zander, my family, my friends. The idea of never seeing them again scares me. I feel like I’ve been floating around in this void for hours when suddenly I smell this odd yet familiar scent. It is a sweet, floral scent making my mind spin, trying to remember what it reminded me of. I try to move in the void to get closer to the scent. I need to get closer. A strong pull snaps me out of the darkness as the scent becomes overwhel
The putrid scent of antiseptic assaults my nose as I pace in the hospital's emergency room, waiting for the doctor to tell me why my Luna, Beta, and Gamma are in the state they are in. I burst through the doors earlier to find Ashleigh, only to be kicked out, so the hospital staff had space to work on her. I hoped they were helping her. I can’t lose her. Her bloodstains on my skin from holding her close have now dried as I didn’t want to wash away her scent. It was the only thing keeping me sane right now. Oliver comes flying down the hall with Brent hot on his heels. I sent him and her parents a message as soon as I arrived, and Danni was checked in. He looked so pale when we got to the hospital, and it fucking killed me the state they were all in. I hate the smell of hospitals … The smell of disinfectant stings my nose, making my eyes water. I fight Jace for control, trying not to let him take over and go on a rampage. Hospitals always bring back bad memories so the smell al
I felt a sense of loss when Zander wasn’t by my side. I suppose that’s why they allow mates to be in the same classes, so our wolves don’t go crazy on us. I had a crappy feeling for the rest of the day after this morning's conversation with Brent. I was already feeling bad that I was upset with him only a few weeks ago about hiding the same thing from Ollie and me, and yet here I am doing the exact same thing to him. No wonder he's so upset. At least Ollie and mum already had time to accept Zander and me being mates. Some girls at lunchtime came up and congratulated us, but all I could see was jealousy and frustration in most of them. It hurt that they weren't actually happy. They probably just wanted him because of his title or maybe because they were ex-lovers or a number of other reasons. I don’t have the courage to ask Zander how many he’s been with at school. I’m sure it's a lot. I won’t dwell on that fact because he is my present and future. So after everything that happene
Ashleigh's emotions are heightened by a thousand after marking her. I feel everything - happiness, frustration, sadness … It was a rollercoaster of a night, trying to navigate everything. Out of all of her emotions, happiness and joy were what I felt the most. I was so fucking grateful that she is happy to be with us. After the incident this morning with her brother, Jace was more aware of what was happening. He is unsettled that her family's drama saddens our mate, and I promise I will get to the bottom of it for her. I only want what is best for her and, at the same time, to have a relationship with her family. I want to work together and fix it. Oliver seems to be on board with an alliance. We just have to convince everyone else. Thankfully, the day is easygoing; I have a few classes without her, but that was in the afternoon. Lunchtime rolled around quickly, and everyone gushed around her, trying to get information on what happened and how we found out we were mates. I know
It was a challenging weekend. I barely went home, I had about 20 missed calls from mum, frantic messages from Kylie to know where Ashleigh was, and neither Robert nor Kylie got to say goodbye to their daughter. Now they couldn’t reach her via the pack link or family link. It was a fucked up situation just because Blackwood was her mate. I didn’t even know how to begin to explain things to Brent when he got home. He walked into a house of chaos after his patrol run that night. As much as those two niggle and bicker, they were siblings. He looked up to Ashleigh as his sister and the pack’s Beta. He respected her and appreciated her guidance. Now, I don’t even know what their relationship will be like. After seeing Ashleigh the other night with Blackwood, I knew she made the right choice. She had to be with her mate. She was his Luna, and rejecting him wasn’t an option for either of them. It was nice to see that they loved each other. However, I made a promise to myself and our family
