The moment a rogue killed my father the responsibility of becoming alpha fell onto me, I was eighteen then and was more than ready for the challenges of becoming the alpha of the Grayriver pack.
Our kind is meant to find their fated mates at the age of eighteen, but honestly, the hype didn’t really live up to the expectation. I always thought that meeting my luna would mean that I would find my other half, the one I couldn’t live without. But honestly midway through my year of being eighteen, I kind of gave up on the whole idea of it all and just decided that fucking my way through the she-wolves of other tribes was way more fun than being settled with just one luna.
We were strong enough to not require such a thing as a luna, but still, I was being hassled left-right and center by my mother. She wanted me to have someone by my side, little did she know that I had many a she-wolf by my side each and every night. They just didn’t ever stick around because I didn’t want them to, it was fun and fun was way more enjoyable than friction.
I made it my mission never to touch anyone in my pack, why? Because it complicated things, I had to be their leader, strong and able to keep them safe. That was highly impossible to do if I had she-wolves wanting to fight for my affection.
I stood before my bathroom basin staring at my reflection in the mirror, Casey had been in my room last night and left in the early hours of this morning. I can’t remember how many times I had fucked her but even with the impartible hunger I had as an alpha I always ended up feeling empty once they left, I didn’t see myself settling down any time soon and choosing a luna just for the sake of having one was a fucked up notion in my books.
I brushed my teeth before getting into the shower, it was only 5:15 am but I needed to go for a run. My wolf Nixon was on edge over something and I couldn’t quite place my finger on it, tonight was the full moon run and I knew I had a lot of things to plan and organize before then, it was my fifth run as alpha since taking over. It wasn’t difficult and my pack was amazing, but still, there was something about today that was making me feel irritability which I couldn’t explain, I felt on edge and agitated and the reason for it was beyond me.
There was a sudden knock at my door and I knew it was my beta Davies, he swung open the door and I was still standing there in only a towel after exiting the bathroom,
“What’s up, man?” I asked but didn’t stop to look at him as I made my way over to my closet,
“Um, it’s Iris and Addison’s birthday today. And they’ve asked to skip the full moon run tonight,” a low growl escaped me which even caught me off guard,
“Why?” Iris and Addison were twins and Davies’s sisters, they were turning eighteen today and it was important for them to attend the full moon run in hopes of finding their mates within our pack. But they were two rebels who seldom did as they were told, let’s just say that the three of us didn’t really see eye to eye on anything.
And after I caught them sneaking past our pack borders in an attempt to go partying at one of our neighboring packs, it was all too clear that they both wanted out, they didn’t want to be part of my pack. They wanted to find their mates outside my pack, something to do with the fact that they didn’t want to spend their whole lives under their father and brother’s thumb.
To say that I had my hands full with them was an understatement, they were both incredibly beautiful, with tanned skin, bodies to die for and long straight chocolate brown hair that reached just above their backsides. They were super smart and when they looked at you with those hazelnut eyes it was seriously difficult to tell them, no, and as much as I didn’t want our pack to lose them due to them both being incredibly talented at fighting, sometimes it just made more sense to have them leave as they were both a force to be reckoned with and at the best of times total pains in my ass.
"Look man, at this point I feel like just telling them to go. They've been making my whole week miserable with wanting to join the Purple hill pack's run tonight," Davies said as he rolled his eyes.
The purple hill pack is one of our neighbors, but Paul and I don't see eye to eye. He's an arrogant eighteen-year-old and to make matters worse both Iris and Addison swoon over him all the time, which drives me insane.
"I know their pains in you're ass as well Davies, but they are your baby sisters man, you're mom would freak the shit out if she was still alive," I said as I tossed a shirt on over my head.
"I don't want them to go either Orson, but-" I didn't give him the chance to say anything more,
"Then it's settled, Iris and Addison are staying. And tell them if they try their normal moves of wanting to sneak out, I'll just drag their asses back home again," to which Davies cringed,
"Dude, please don't talk about my sisters' asses, I've got enough on my plate trying to keep them respectable for their mates. May I remind you what a difficult task that has been," Davies immediately looked stressed as he ran his hands through his hair,
"Sometimes not having to worry about them would just kind of be nice I guess," He shrugged, to which I smirked.
"Man as soon as they both find their mates they will become two other dude's problems," I grinned playfully. But my own words seemed to aggravate my wolf which completely threw me off as to why that could be.
Both Davies and I made our way down toward the packhouse, I still wanted to go for a run but I guess it would have to wait because nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to walk in on.
Jon was standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for us, and by the look on his face it wasn’t for pleasantries,“Dad?” Davies sounded out concerned by his old man’s dire expression. He was holding a letter in his hand, it was almost scrunched up with the way he was gripping it tightly,“They did it, they fucking did it, Davies. Your sisters have run away to the purple hill pack to join Paul and his bunch of misfits,” He grumbled and I could see it was affecting him to the extremes of his wolf wanting to be set free.“What are we going to do Alpha Orson, I can’t lose my girls to that prick, I refuse for him to have them. I know they can sometimes act a bit rebellious in nature but he’ll ruin them, they’re still innocent for fuck sakes,” He snapped, and for some odd reason, my wolf was agitated with the mere idea of Paul laying a finger on Iris and Addison.Davies grabbed the letter from
I was busy for the rest of the day, there was pack business that needed my attention and Davies was hounding me for the time schedules for next week’s training. Once our members' turned eighteen they were given an option to either become fighters, teachers, healers, or become part of our computer whiz kids department.Both Iris and Addison would need to decide which group they wanted to belong to come Monday, and by knowing their personalities I already had an idea where they would slot into.Iris was definitely a feisty little fighter that’s for sure, but Addison seemed more of a whiz kid but I guess I would have to wait and see come Monday whether I’m right or not. Now however I needed to prepare for the pack run tonight, and at the same time, I needed to plan something special for both Iris and Addison’s birthday today. With everything that happened earlier I never even got a chance to wish them, but I would make up for that tonight.I
My mom entered my office just as I was about to leave, she strolled in and eyed me warily for a moment before finally seating herself down on the couch.I sighed as I turned back to face her,“Mom, is there something I can help you with?” I love my mom, but seriously if this was another speech about wanting me to settle down and find my mate, give her some grand pups then I was not in the mood.“Well yes, I would say a mate in law and some grand pups for starters,” rolling my eyes I sighed, told you so.“But that’s not why I’m here,” furrowing the brows I just stared at her suspiciously,“It’s not?”“No,” She answered me. And for a brief moment I honestly thought she was here merely to spend some quality time with her son for no reason at all, yeah that wasn’t it, I quickly realized.“So the reason why I’m here Orson is because of what I he
AddiI ran over to my brother’s room just feeling incredibly overwhelmed by all the emotions I kept feeling, I didn’t know what to do or think anymore because for the last two months I’ve been living with knowing that Orson was my fated mate, but he was also Iris’s fated mate and that made us a Triquetra.Why my situation couldn’t just be made easier with only having a mate, not even Orson, I mean I would have settled for just a normal nobody as a mate even. But to have to go through this with having to share my mate with Iris just wasn’t fair.Don’t get me wrong, I love my sister to the moon and back. But she’s always been at the center of everything, she’s the spontaneous, outgoing party animal type, not me. And when I had finally tried being a party animal two months ago when I had just found out that Orson was my mate, he ended up dragging me from the pub by throwing me over his shoulder.
IrisI just stood there stunned to hear Addi reject Orson, the pain I felt was immediate like she had also rejected me.The moment she turned to run I wanted to go after her, but the pain was excruciating. I looked over to see Orson down on his knees and his head buried in his hands, the sounds escaping him were filled with so much pain that it broke my heart.I slowly made my way over to him as I dropped to my knees folding my arms around half of his body, he was a lot bigger and muscular than I was, so wrapping my arms around him fully was impossible.The moment I touched him I began to sob, I felt his pain even though we hadn’t even gone through with the mating process yet.Earlier this evening when we were all getting ready for our run I remember being so incredibly excited, I didn’t even think whether or not Orson and Addi would be coming or not because it was a given right, we were all fated to be together.So
Orson I woke up with my arms wrapped around Iris in my bed, after everything that happened last night we came back to the packhouse hand in hand and went straight up to my bedroom. We passed Davies in the passage and he looked very confused, but I merely gave him a look that indicated that I would chat with him in the morning. What else was I meant to do, I was fated to both of his twin sisters and one of them refused to want to be a part of this whole Triquetra thing we were connected to. I didn’t know what to do about that, all I knew was that Iris had been there from the start, willing, able and eager to seal the mate bond. But with everything that happened last night I merely ended up falling asleep with Iris in my arms, her warmth calmed my wolf in a moment where he wanted to lose his mind. I felt groggy and sort of like shit as I wiped the sleep from my eyes with one hand, the other was tucked beneath Iris, she was still f
OrsonJon lunged at me as he pinned me up against the kitchen cupboards behind me, Iris yelped as I pushed her out of the way just in the nick of time, only to watch Davies grab her and pin her behind him protectively.I could have knocked Jon’s lights out in that one moment, he might be a big man but I’m an alpha, I’m built stronger than he is and I'm definitely ripped enough to put him down.But I won’t, I understand why he’s reacting so defensively, I suppose I would have done the same if she had been my daughter.“Dad, stop it, get off of him!” I hear Iris scream from behind Davies, who is standing with his fists clenched and his brows furrowed. He’s in a very difficult situation right now, it’s his father versus his alpha, as my beta, he would have to defend me if need be, but I’m not going to make him do that.“Jon, just calm down, let’s talk about this&hell
AddiWe started making our way toward block A, the medical wing. I had decided long before that I would want to go into medicine and help the pack through healing them.Healers were truly a necessity, not that the other groups weren't don't get me wrong, but being able to heal someone held such truth to my own life right now especially, because I was a broken thing. Yet the healing I needed would never come, my mate was alpha Orsen and I had to share him with my twin sister which would never work.Iris has always been someone who was incredibly headstrong, she knew what she wanted and took it. If we had actually gone through with becoming a mated triquetra I would have become lost in the flow of chemistry between Orsen and Iris, and I knew I didn't want to live my life that way.I had been avoiding eye contact with them both the moment they stepped onto the field, I didn't want to seem like the lovesick, heartbroken one, pining after my mate
OrsonI'm sitting behind my desk and I can't concentrate on anything besides the fact that I actually allowed Iris to leave on that stupid pack representation thing that I organized because I wanted distance between Thomas and Addi, and now because of that Iris was on her way to the Greenfields pack with everyone else.Yes, the moment she told me that it would probably be a good thing to carry on every year going forward and it probably would, but I didn't want her going there, I want both of my mates with me right now.It hasn't even been two hours yet and already I feel like I'm going to lose it, the whole morning is dragging its heels and the paperwork on my desk still demands my attention even though it isn't exactly getting any less.Suddenly I hear a knock at my door and it doesn't even take me a second to know that it's Davies, "Hey alpha, what's up with you, you look like you're wolf wants to claw to the surface."Looking up from the paperwork in front of me I sigh as I run m
Addi Standing in a cubicle in the medical wing helping one of the young pups set his arm after breaking it, I suddenly feel woozy like I could faint at any moment. I'm not sure what's going on and the more I try and shake the feeling the worse it gets, one of the girls standing in to assist me while Thomas is away on this godforsaken Greenfields expedition, slowly starts making her way over towards me. I'm so annoyed with the fact that Thomas isn't here, and he isn't here because of the stupid and probably made-up pack thing Orson sent Thomas off to, the one that Orson just so happened to organize the moment that Thomas and I start becoming closer as a... well as a soon to be a couple I guess, it doesn't go unnoticed how he swooped him away to a conveniently planned pack thing that just so happened to include Thomas as our medical wings representative. Sighing I grab hold of my head as the dizzy spells suddenly have me seeing black spots
Orson I was determined not to leave things this way because in all fairness Iris didn't understand the real reason behind me not getting intimate with her, it wasn't because I didn't want her, it had nothing to do with that. But after what happened with Addi I just fucking feel so wired and afraid to lose them both that, the thought of messing things up again like I did that night with Addi in the forest instantly has my wolf recoiling. It's like even he knows that we fucked up to the extent that now we might completely lose Addi, to hell with the triquetra bullshit triangle bond between us, this went way beyond that for me. I had two mates, not just one. And as things stand right now I'm this close to losing both, the thought of that fucking petrifies me. So as much as I think that I can just let her go, allow her to calm down I can't. I find myself barreling from my car towards the packhouse door. My nose instantly picks up her scent
OrsonIris wouldn't speak to me the entire ride back to the packhouse, she merely stared out the window and tilted her body away from me as she crossed her arms across her chest.Not being able to take it any longer I decided that I needed to clear the air, I had a pretty good idea why she was upset but I needed to hear it from her.***After my intense shared moment with Addi, when the unexplainable electrical current had flowed through us. I was brought back to the reality that I had to now rapidly organize for our representatives to be welcomed with open arms into the Greenfields pack.I found Davies standing on the east wing of the field moving our fighters into groups of six, they were getting ready for some technical wrangling and my wolf immediately sensed Iris getting ready to seize up her opponent, and I immediately felt annoyed the moment I realized she was going up against Bran.He was twi
OrsonIt's driving me insane, I don't know how much more of this I can take. It's like I'm weakening each and every moment without Addi, and the more Iris and I try and keep ourselves preoccupied the worse it gets.I haven't marked Iris as yet, and we haven't exactly gone through with anything else either. Because each time that we start getting intimate, it's like Addi creeps into both our minds, and the moment is lost.Last night Iris tried to distract me, or maybe she was trying to distract herself more than anything else.I was sitting up on my bed with my laptop open, sorting out pack stuff regarding training schedules for this week.It's been a long and daunting few weeks since we started training camp, I keep sneaking glimpses of Addi every now and then when we all stop for lunch. I've wanted to pull her aside and talk to her, just find out how she is but she's always with fucking Thomas, it's like they're attached at the hip.
