Magnolia Knight I run through the pack as fast as I can as I try to beat Henry to the lake. He gave me a one minute advantage, but we both know that it will not be good enough. Not whenever he has his wolf and I don’t. Yet I still play the game. It’s fun, so why not play around with my best friend? His wolf suddenly jumps over me, making me gasp, and it turns around and looks at me. Its tail wags, indicating its playfulness, and I laugh at it. I swear his wolf acts like a pup and it’s one of the cutest things that I’ve ever seen!His wolf tips its head down at me and lowers its body down so that I can ride on him the rest of the way. My legs are burning from how fast I was running and I’m out of breath, so I’m not going to turn down a chance to relax for a minute. I get on his wolf and nuzzle my face into its dirty blonde fur, and I hold on. Once it feels me lightly tug on its fur, it takes off. I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of the wind in my hair as it surges us forward.
AmeliaEvery day, I pray to the moon goddess to take me away from this godforsaken pack. I pray that she’ll bless me with a good mate who will take care of me and let nothing bad happen to me. But… I don’t think I’ll be that lucky.My mom was an omega and I’m an omega… but I’m weaker than anybody else because my dad is also human. Although humans and werewolves live happily among each other for the most part, our pack, the White Fang Pack, really didn’t like humans and hated whenever their members were mated to a human.Alpha Mark allowed my dad to live on the pack as long as he worked around here too and he had to work for one of the companies the Alpha had. My dad complied with his wishes because he wanted to be with my mom. You could see in his eyes how much he loved her and I know it was hard for him to watch her fade away because of the amount of work and responsibility was placed on her sho
Amelia Getting exiled is the worst thing that can happen to a werewolf. We thrive off of living in a pack along with our fellow werewolves and once you’re exiled, no one will accept you into a pack in fear of what you’re capable of.I ran out of the pack in my wolf form, carrying a small duffel bag in my mouth. I ran through the woods and went in the direction of the train station. My dad gave me a little of money. He said it was enough to get me where I needed to go and that he would figure out a way to make arrangements for me to live once I got to Owl Bay.Low growling caused me to run faster. The one good part about being small is that I could fit in areas most werewolves couldn’t, so that meant I could hide easier than others and if it was a crowded area, I could run faster than them.A wolf jumped in front of me, baring its teeth, and I skidded to a stop. I turned to run away, but there was another one and another and another.
Maven I don’t know what brought me to this cottage, but all I know is the person living here has a unique scent. I’ve only smelled a scent like this once before and… it’s not possible for it to be the same person.I looked around and noticed whoever rescued me was no longer here. When I looked in the bathroom mirror, I noticed that the injuries I had gotten from being attacked had already healed because of my enhanced healing ability. I was grateful for the food the host had made for me and devoured it before I left.The longer I was around this scent, the more it was bothering me and my wolf because it was so familiar to the one that my mate, Elana, had. I knew it wasn’t possible for it to be Elena’s scent. Elena was long gone, and the scent was slightly different from hers.I try to shake the memories of her out of my head as I head back to my pack. I shifted into my wolf as I rushed back towards the Renegade Pack. As soon as I crossed over th
Maven This girl’s scent is driving me nuts. It’s way too similar to Elena’s.Elena’s scent was like sweet like honey, with just a hint of lavender, and this girl had the same scent, except she also had the smallest hint of citrus, like the smell of oranges.I’m ready to get back to the pack house and put some distance between the two of us. It’s too painful to be around her. The worst part is my wolf is adamant that she is our mate. I felt the tingles when I touched her skin, and her scent is driving me wild… but I can’t go through that kind of loss again.It doesn’t matter if she is my mate, I can’t accept her. Losing Elena, it was… it was my fault and I can’t be the one that causes another life to be lost.I gulp down the lump in my throat as the girl rushes back into the car with a single duffle bag. My eyebrows furrow, surprised to see her with such little belongings, but it doesn’t matter. If that’s all she wants to bring, then t
Amelia By the time I came back outside, Alpha Knight had already sent Veronica away. He breathes out as he sees me walk towards him with my duffle bag. He tells me, “Sorry about that. Veronica is my Beta’s daughter, and she’s always been a bit… wary of newcomers. Anyway, there’s a room you can have inside of the pack house. It has an attached bathroom, but the kitchen and dining room are on the main floor, so you’ll have to deal with that.”I nod, “Whatever you think is best, Alpha Knight.”We walk into the pack house, and he shows me my room and walks off. I look at the time and see that it’s now past 9, but with all the events today, I feel exhausted. I fall onto the bed and knock out. I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door. I get up and see a woman who was probably in her early 40s standing in front of me. Her eyes flicker to my face and she asks, “Are you Amelia?”I nod, “I am, and you are?” “Maggie, but call me Mrs. Wilki
I rush out of Alpha Knight’s office and make my way to the kitchen, where I know I’ll meet up with Maggie. As I wait for her, I start the clean-up process for the kitchen. The incident with Alpha Knight repeats in my head as I clean the dishes.I don’t know what it is about him, but there’s some kind of pull I have towards him. I don’t know if I should be intrigued by it or scared.But I have to make sure I don’t screw up again. I can’t get exiled from this pack… if I get exiled, it will be the nail in the coffin for me.I hear Maggie’s voice and it brings me out of my trance as she asks, “How did breakfast go, Ms. Amelia?”I smile softly, “It was fine. I struggled with the coffeemaker and ended up being a couple of minutes late, but otherwise, it seemed to be okay.”She makes a face at me with her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes squinted, and her lips pouted, but says nothing.
MavenIt’s been a month since I brought Amelia into our pack. My meeting with the council is coming up soon and I need to inform them I plan to give her the option to become an official member of the pack.She currently is still a rogue. She’s just been in the pack as my slave, but now that I see how well she’s doing here and I know she’s not a threat to us, I want to make her an official member. The council won’t like this decision, but I don’t care. I need her to know that she matters and that she’s done well around here.Honestly, she’s thriving. She does everything asked of her perfectly and after that first day, she’s never been late again. Maggie only has good things to say about her, she’s nice to every pack member she comes by even if they aren’t nice to her, and she has kept her distance from me just like I requested in the beginning…I love that she listened to my ins

Amelia We waited two years before we finally decided to get married. We wanted our daughter to be able to be a part of the ceremony and be our flower girl and we wanted her to actually be able to walk down the aisle. We picked out this big poofy and sparkly pink dress for her and she loved it because she loves all things sparkly and pink. We learned during the ceremony that her favorite thing to do was spin so that her dress would flare out. She spun around so much that we are lucky that she didn't throw up during the ceremony. I am so grateful for everything. I never could have imagined this in my life. And man, Maven cleans up good! The moment I saw him, all I wanted to do was take him to our room and make love. He had his dark hair combed back, his beard meticulously trimmed, his tattoos were covered by his navy blue suit, and all I wanted to do was grab him by his gold tie and pull him to me and kiss the daylights out of him. It was hard to wait through the entire ceremony
AmeliaI waited eagerly for Maven to return home.I was so happy when I got his call and he said that everything went smoothly. He told me about all the drama and I agreed with him. It sounds off. Cora made it seem like Kyle was this bloodthirsty maniac, but... he wasn't.It doesn't matter. All of this is finally over.I sit in our room staring at the ultrasound picture I got today. It turns out I'm further along than I thought. I'm almost halfway through the pregnancy. The baby is measuring and looking great. It is definitely a girl, just like Cora said!But the crazy thought is that it's only a couple of months before I give birth and our little Magnolia Jade will join us.When Maven gets home, I show him the ultrasound, and he cried, but by the next morning he went into a full on dad panic mode. He started doing everything he could to prep for her arrival.Three months passed.It was a long labor, but I finally gave birth the Magnolia Jade Knight. She looked exactly like her daddy.
MavenToday is finally the day. My group and I already left home and we are on our way to the White Fang Pack. We will meet with the other groups and invade. We are going to try to request that Aloha Kyle concede. But the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. More than likely there will be a lot of bloodshed. But unfortunately, that’s a necessary part of war. When we get there, I am overwhelmed by the amount of people backing us. We are well over two times the size of the White Fang Pack. This should be easy. The three other Alphas, Alpha Marco of Aztec Moon, Alpha Alfred of Red River, and Alpha Jared of the Golden Pack, were all waiting for me so that we can walk up to the borders togetherI take a deep breath, ready to shift at a moment's notice, but then… nothing happens. No one is here. They should at the very least have a patrol out here, but there's absolutely no one.I press my lips together. This isn't normal. We walk slowly into the pack with our warriors behind u
MavenThings are finally turning up. All the packs I spoke to were willing to help me. It turns out that Alpha Kyle has burned quite a few bridges during his short reign as Alpha. Thankfully, that works in my favor.I try not to talk about it too much around Amelia. I know it stresses her out when I mention the White Fang Pack, and I don't want to cause her any unnecessary stress in her delicate state. Almost all of our pack members are back home. We're giving our warriors two days to rest and then half of them will be coming with me for the attack while the other half stays here.After talking with Bennett and Grace and them agreeing that our idea about Ross and his group was a good one, Amelia spoke to our architect and is working to build a house for them. We don't know when we'll see Ross again or if he and his group will accept our help, but we want to get started on this. I'm just grateful that Amelia is so happy and that she is keeping herself busy. Now that our pack members a
AmeliaIt is good to be able to go back home so fast.Cora seemed closed off for most of our trip, but she enjoyed watching us. I noticed her eyes were always on one of us and she spoke with Maggie a lot.It must get lonely for her living out there all by herself. Although her home is beautiful and large, it must be incredibly lonely. I make a mental note for us to invite her to visit more often and not just because we need something. She has helped us out so much that I view her as part of our family and I want to treat her that way.As soon as we get back to our pack, Maven tells me and Maggie to stay in the car and I watch as he and Bennett walk into the pack house. It doesn't take long before two wolves come bursting through the door and both Maven and Bennett's wolves are right on their tails as they scatter.Maggie shakes her head and says, "Oof, that was not a good idea on their side. What makes Kaden and Veronica think they could outrun an Alpha and a Beta?"I shrug, "In Kaden
MavenAmelia and I lie down in the bed snuggling one another. She looks up at me and says, "Are we on board for the name Magnolia? Or should we do something different?""I like Magnolia, we should focus on the middle name.""I think a shorter name would be good. Like Magnolia Ash or Magnolia Eve or Magnolia Jade. What do you think?""I like Magnolia Jade, it seems like a little bit of sweet with a nice edge to it."Amelia rubs her hand over her stomach and says, "Magnolia Jade Knight... I love it."I ask, "How are you feeling about everything?"Her lower lip puckers and she says, "I don't know. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. It's weird to me that the White Fang Pack is attacking because of me, but it's not like I knew Alpha Kyle that well. I just knew how he and his Luna were together and his Luna was an insanely jealous person.""Well, at least we know what's going to happen and that helps us have the element of surprise.""What packs are you contacting?" She asks as she play
AmeliaIt didn't take long for Maven and I to pack and once we were done we knew that it was time for us to go. I look around our room with a hand on my stomach. I hope that we won't be gone for too long. I want this place to be our home and I want to prepare our child's nursery here.As if he knew what I was thinking, Maven came behind me and hugged me, rubbing his large hands on my stomach and he says, "We'll be back before you know it, love, and we can decorate and do whatever you want for our little one's room."I breathe out, "I just hate to leave."He kisses my cheek and says, "I know, but we'll be back in no time."He grabs our things and we walk to the staircase and I see Maggie and Cora waiting for us. I take a deep breath and gather my courage. Everyone is okay, everyone will be safe, we have to do this.We all walk out to the car and then Maven drives and Cora sits in the passenger seat so she can easily tell him where to go. Maggie grabs my hand because she can sense my an
Amelia Cora looked concerned as she walked into our room and says, "I need Amelia to come with me, tonight."Maven sputters, "Wh-what?"She comes to my side and says, "I know this is sudden. I know you don't want to leave Maven, but please, listen to me and trust in me, okay?"I look at Maven and then back at Cora and ask, "What's going on?"She breathes out, "A girl just came in through the door and said she's back. Her name is Sophie-" my eyes bulge out of my head and I question, "Sophie's back?!"Cora nods and says, "From the sound of your voice, it sounds like she's a friend, but Amelia, you can't trust her. There's something off with her aura. You can't be near her. I don't even want her to touch you. Please, come with me."I look over at Maven, and his eyebrows are furrowed as he is processing. Sophie was one of my closest friends before she just randomly left. Of course I want to see her. But we should trust in Cora... shouldn't we?Maven says, "Amelia and I need to talk. Are y
