StormieThe trial had gone to plan and I was proud of my uncle and grateful to my mate that he allowed him the opportunity. I was a little surprised that he had turned down the alpha position and when he called for my borther I shot up out of my seat, looking wildly at Tristan and then watching my brother and his mate Sarah make their way forward to stand in the front near Z. I held my breath while Tristan spoke."Aerick, you have proven yourself in battle over the last several years and have done a great job of assisting your brother in both his alpha heir duties and his duties as leader of the Elite. You have just recently found your mate correct?" He asked loudly, even though he already knew the answer. The wheels in my head began to turn.Aerick's voice rang out loud and clear. "Yes, your highness. My mate is Sarah, first born daughter to Alpha Fredrick of Forest Moon," he replied."So you both come from alpha lines, two of the strongest and most loyal packs in the kingdom?"
Stormie Our mating ceremony had been perfect. A bright blue moon shone down on us iluminating the stage as a blessing from the moon goddess. We celebrated til the early morning with family, friends and so many well wishers. I was so excited to start our future together. We spent our honeymoon at a castle by the coast and found out a few weeks later that we can back with a surprise - our first son Gabriel. Now, 10 years and 3 more boys later, our family was growing again. I smiled and placed my hand on my gowing belly feeling our daughter kick as I watched our boys play in the garden with their cousins. This spot had been special to me and Tristan and we decided it would be perfect to continue making great memories here with our family. I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me, pulling me close and I sighed contently."How are my girls doing?" Tristan whispered in my ear, placing his large hand over mine. "We're fine. She's just moving around. She's very active," I said
Stormie “Momma where are we going?” I asked rubbing the sleep from my eyes as my mom carried me out of the house. “Hush now. We’re going to go get some help from some friends baby. You’re gonna ride on daddy’s back until we get there ok? Put your coat on and put the hood up,” my mother said, gently placing me on my father’s furry back after helping me get my coat on. I rubbed my face in his fur, smiling as it tickled my face and I breathed in his familiar scent.“But momma it’s still night time,” I said sleepily into his fur as I heard my mom move around.“I know sweetie, but if we don’t leave now the bad man will come and take you away remember?” my mother said and I nodded sadly. “Daddy and I are going to take you somewhere safe so hold on tight and don’t let go.”I wrapped my arms around my dad’s neck just like they taught me and watched as my mother shifted into her wolf too. She was smaller than my dad but still just as pretty, a light grey to daddy's dark grey. My mother nudge
Tristan POVI listened as Alpha Adam spoke about the increase in rogue activity around the kingdom, several of the others chiming in about attacks that they had experienced as well. They appeared to be working together in larger and larger groups and attacks were becoming more strategic and less like the random rogue issues. I was hoping that getting the alphas together could generate some ideas on how best to deal with the rogue issue. I asked Alpha Adam to bring his Elite 8 along to discuss what they'd seen while out hunting rogues, to get any insight AND to brush up the training for my royal guards. I was actually looking forward to finally meeting them, the strongest warriors of my kingdom. With these rogues pushing forward, it was even more important now to have my guards ready for a fight and who best to oversee their training than the Elite 8.I had gotten regular updates on them since their inception. I knew that the other alphas were curious about them as well, especial
TristianWe had narrowed it down to 10 possible packs and were discussing the Blood Moon pack when Stormie's head whipped around so quickly that her braid smacked the window loudly and suddenly we were all watching her She was pale and had a frown on her beautiful face. She must have asked her brother to repeat the name which he did. Suddenly she ran over to the desk and pushed my beta out of the way to see the map we had been pouring over. When she found them on the map she growled loudly and said “It’s them.”Her voice was just a beautiful outloud as in my head and her growl made my wolf shiver in excitement.Alpha Adam stood up and asked her how she knew. She was signing so quickly he had to have her slow down and repeat it. By then all of the Elites had moved closer to see what she was signing. I watched her amazed at how quickly she could move her hands before I noticed the tears on her cheeks. The Elites moved in closer to her to comfort her and both me and my wolf wished we c
StormieI wiggled my nose a little, unsure of how to answer. Luckily my father stepped in and answered for me.“She can. She’s like an alpha but more. She has to focus when she does it and too much can be draining.”“She can even link to rogues, which was quite fun,” Matthew said before high fiving Alton. Tristan raised his brow in question towards me and I watched Arkin shook his head and rolled his eyes at them. “You don’t want to know,” he said. Tristan looked at me with a grin that stole my breath and made my wolf start panting. I knew he wanted to know, he eyes alight with curiousity. He asked through the link 'What did you do little wolf?'My pulse picked at his nickname for me and I took a deep breath before linking him back.'Well the first time it was an accident. Apparently I was projecting and they overheard me talking shit about their smell and then started fighting each other thinking the name calling had come from the other one. Once we realized, well the easiest way
TristanI was extra picky with my wardrobe tonight and was no running late. My nerves were all over the place and my wolf was still going crazy. When Stormie had turned those beautiful eyes on me and asked if I was soft, oh Goddess I was suddenly rock hard. And I'd almost told her that. She was still a child - not yet 18 - but my wolf wanted to sink his teeth into her. I finally made my way into the waiting room right as they announced dinner. I felt my heart almost stop when my eyes finally landed on Stormie, who was standing with her father talking to my parents. She looked like the moon and the sky with her beautiful white hair and midnight blue dress. Her creamy skin was on display and my eyes caressed over her tattoos before smiling when I saw the knives on her wrists. A beautiful but deadly creature. I had to remind myself again as I discreetly adjusted myself that she was a friend, the daughter of an alpha and only 17. I shook my head and pushed my wolf to the back of
Stormie The next morning I made my way out to the training field with the other Elite. I noticed they were moving a little sluggishly this morning and smiled. I guess my brothers weren't the only ones that came back absolutely trashed last night. Good thing they were werewolves. The guys were wearing their usual loose shorts and tank tops while I had thrown on my usual tight shorts and sports bra. I did throw a tank top on at the request of my brothers and put my hair in a bun on the top of my head. My father and Arkin had agreed to work with the king's guard for the next few days so here we were. Arkin had spoken to the other warriors from our pack and they would arrive tomorrow and aid in the training as well. I stood in my usual spot towards the middle of our group while Arkin divided the king's guard into groups and assigning two of us per group. I'm paired with Aerick like usual. We get right to w

TristanOnce Stormie goes off to work on things for our ceremony tomorrow the rest of us work to put together a rough time line as well as organizing the information in the order that it will be presented. We've got lots of more recent photos for proof as well thanks to Azaziel's people and we make sure that we have included that. "How is the pack there now? Since most of your group was from there, are you reconciling them?" I asked waiting to see how they were handling it now that the alpha and the rogues were gone. Azaziel explained how they had moved in and taken over abandoned houses and that there was a lot of clean up and fix up going on right now to get the pack back to the condition it needed to be in. It was going to take some work, but most of the pack was more than excited to see them go. Almost all of the Blood Moon pack who had fought along side the trailorous alpha and his son had been killed in the battle. The few that we left were being held in the prision for
StormieI wasn't surprised to see the dresses my mother had picked out. I was actually grateful as she picked several that were skorts - having the shorts show in the front and the dress flowing down the back and almost all of them had no sleeves so I could still wear my gear. Tristan smiled at me when I came out wearing one and joked about getting me different gear sets that could match my outfits. I smiled at him, excited at the prospect. I knew the chances of me needing them were really low and once I was more comfortable in my role I probably wouldn't wear them or at least not all of them at once, but it would take time. Once we are ready Tristan and I head down and join his parents and his beta for the services to honor the fallen from this pack. Tristan gives a very good speech while I stand by his side and then he asked me if I'd like to say a few words. I was shocked but at the same time I knew this was something I'd need to get used to. I thought for a few minutes a
Tristan I knew that we'd need to get up soon, but I wanted to freeze time for just a few more minutes while I watched Stormie sleep. Last night had been the best and I couldn't wait for us t ostart our future together. I watched the sun light dance across her arms and back. I began to trace her tattoos and I felt her stir.'Good morning love,' I linked her, brushed the hair from her face.'hmm is it already? I wish we could just stay in bed today,' she linked back turning her face up for a kiss which I happily obliged. I felt the same way but unfortunately we had important business today.'Soon little wolf, soon. We've got important business today and I'm sure our families would like to celebrate with us,' I said breaking away and getting out of bed. I heard her growl and turned to wink at her before heading to the bathroom.We showered together which led to other things but eventually we made our way downstairs, Stormie was wearing a pair of my boxers as shorts and one of my
StormieMy mate. That was the only comprehensible thought in my mind. Mine. Tristan was mine. They cheered for us but all I could think of was how good he smelled and the feel of his arms around me. At some point I know that he walked me back to where his parents were waiting and mine joined us, my mom and his both crying. My father and Aerick both hugged me, both telling me how proud they were. Soon enough many others came up to where we were seated to offer congradulations. After thanking so many people who I knew I wouldn't remember, Tristan led me out onto the dance floor where he held me close as we danced for a few songs. I felt like I was in dream and I just knew I probably had a goofy grin on my face. Tristan leaned down and whispered in my ear,"I can't wait to get you alone Mate."I laughed in glee hearing those words from his mouth before whispering back "So why are we still here then?"In the next minute we were rushing through the crowd headed back to the castl
TristanThe tempo started off slowly, drawing us all in. We keep behind closed doors, everytime I see you, I die a little more Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls It'll never be enough As you drive me to my house I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down You and I both have to hide on the outside where I can't be yours and you can't be mine But I know this we got a love that is hopelessI was enchanted, feeling as though the voice was reaching right inside my chest and gripping my heart. Then she let the cloak fall away and my breath was stolen in that moment. It was Stormie. I knew that the voice felt familiar but I'd never heard her sing. Hell most people here hadn't even heard her speak before. The room was silent as she continued, the song soft and drawing everyone in. I felt every word she sang.Why can't I hold you in the street Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor I wish that it could be like that Why can't it be like that Cause I
StormieI was nervous to say the least, but something in me compelled me. I picked out a song the girls had played for me awhile back. It was from a girl group they liked and I fell in love with the song from the minute they played it. When I decided that I was going to sing I knew that this song would be perfect.I was so lucky my mom was on board with this and after helping me get ready went to go speak with the band before getting herself ready. My father would be returning soon to get ready and I was sure my brother and his mate were doing the same. I went over the song in my head and sang a few notes outloud. I loved to sing I just usually did it in my head where the only one to hear was me and my wolf. She was as nervous as I was about the whole mate thing, but I honestly felt that there could be no other man on this planet for me.My mother brought my cloak with her when she came back and told me that she had already sent my father, brother and sister in law ahead to the
Tristan We had been right to have the doors guarded. As soon as I began our meeting and told them that we'd attacked the rogues last night he had paled and tried to escape while the other alphas were loudly arguing. Alpha Adam had been hot on his heels and as soon as I spotted him near the door I'd called out to him, halting him in his tracks. The stiffness of his body and the look in his eyes like a wild animal caught in a trap were a dead give away. Alpha Adam had escorted him to the head of the table and stood nearby as I settled the other alphas and explained what was really going on. I could see Alpha Robert's desire to fight was begining to surface and so I quickly threw his charges out there and had them arrest him on the spot offically declaring him a traitor. While my guards were escorting him to the cells, I explained to the other alphas what had really gone on while I was tour minus all the extra stuff with Stormie. I passed around some of the proof that we'd gotte
