********MATURE CONTENT********I am so happy Winter loves her house. Maddie has her own house too, but she doesn't know it. Jade and I have been building a house for him and his mate if he were to ever find her. I hope she loves her house just as Winter loves hers.Last night with my mate was pure bliss. The image Shadow shared with me of the couch had come true. I couldn't be happier. Winter's body feels perfect in my hands. I'm eager to give her my gift, but I want her to enjoy her new home first.After we left her new home, Winter and I went for a walk. We came up on a park where all the pups where playing. Winter sat down and I walked over to a cart where the head warrior's wife, Nancy, was handing out hot chocolate. "Two please." I said to Nancy and she happily complied. Her gaze found Winter sitting on the bench watching the kids."I saw her at the wedding last night. All the pups seem to love her." The Nancy smiled happily. "Paige really loves her. She couldn't stop obsessing o
As I was driving to the cemetery my mind wandered to what Blake could have possibly gotten me. I feel bad because I wasn't expecting anything at all. We just started, well, started being a couple I guess you could say. Too bad it's Christmas and all the little shops and stores are closed otherwise I would see if I could find something for him. I just don't feel right that he got me something and I didn't get him a thing.I approached the cemetery and parked the car in the same spot as last time, at the top of the hill. Snow covered the ground and I brought along a blanket to kneel on while visiting. I reached my dad's grave and his headstone was covered in snow. I wiped my hand to brush off the snow and placed the blanket down and kneeled."Hi daddy, Merry Christmas," I started. "I met someone daddy. His name is Blake. I think you would have liked him. He's tall, handsome, caring, and he loves me. I love him too. I'd like to think you had something to do with it since I mentioned some
When Jared told me that Winter knows about the wolves here, my heart dropped to my stomach. I wanted to protect her after the rogues killed my late-husband and mate. When George died, I was ready to die with him. I wanted to be with him in the Moon Goddess's kingdom, however my wolf, Carmen, wouldn't allow it."Winter, dear." I started trying to get her attention. She had her focus on her hands that were placed on her lap. Winter finally looked up at me with tears threatening to fall. My heart ached at my daughter's sadness, all I have ever wanted was for her to live a happy life. My own selfish reason brought her back into this life. I can only hope the Moon Goddess will protect her."You were born and raised here for the first five years of your life. You are a member of this pack and a warrior's daughter." I waited for her to say something, but Winter remained silent. So, I continued, "Your dad didn't die at the hands of a drunk driver. He was killed during a rogue attack." My hear
********MATURE CONTENT********Winter finally knows the truth. I just wish she didn't find out the way she did. Lydia will pay for her attempt to harm Winter. I always knew Lydia was crazy, but as my dad said, Lydia went too far this time.When we were at the park and Shadow made Lydia submit, the look on Winter's face scared him. Shadow thought she would run and scream, but she didn't. I kept telling Shadow to just go to the tree and shift back, but he was so hell-bent on being close to his mate.When Shadow eased his way closer to Winter, he felt more at peace. She's not afraid of us, he said, and he was right. She was more shocked than anything.After we all sat down and explained everything to Winter and answered her questions, it felt like a huge weight lifted off of my chest. I hated not being able to tell her anything. It made me feel like a shitty mate. I don't ever want to keep anything from her ever again. She deserves to know everything.After dinner, I walked Winter to her
Morning came too quickly. After my steamy night with my mate, I was completely worn out. I just wanted to sleep in my new comfy bed with Blake.Blake is my mate. My Alpha mate. And I am to be his Luna.It feels as though it is a dream, a dream I don't want to wake up from.I learned of my family history, and I feel like a completely different person. It broke my heart to know my father was killed in a rogue attack instead of a drunk driver. My heart broke for my mom as I learned she had a wolf who died taking all of mom's pain and sacrificing herself so that I didn't grow up without parents.I wish I would've known my mom's wolf. Just to give her a hug and tell her thank you.Blake stirred in his sleep and I leaned over to kiss his cheek. "Good morning, my Alpha." I purred into his ear. Blake's eyes opened, smiling wide as he kissed my lips."Good morning, my Luna." He says seductively.Luna. How did I go from what I thought was a normal life to being the future Luna of a werewolf pac
********MATURE CONTENT********It's been two days since Winter and I officially moved into our home. Donna and Jared left for their honeymoon to the Bahamas, and Jade and Winter have been trying to concoct a plan to reveal the truth of our world to Maddie.I decided to let Lydia rot in her cell for a few days because I am in no hurry to talk to her. Winter wants to be by my side during the interrogation, but I told her I would prefer her in the next room watching through the two-sided mirror. My parents and Jade will be with Winter in the room so she won't be by herself.The five of us walk down to the dungeon and my parents escorted Winter into the viewing room. Winter turned to kiss me. "Let me know if you need me." She winked before closing the door.I stood outside of the next door trying to contain my anger. I want to rip Lydia's throat out for trying to harm my mate. I burst through the door and slammed it behind me as I entered the room. Lydia jumped a little until her eyes met
********MATURE CONTENT********Winter called me last night asking to come over and of course I told her I would. I plan to see Jade too as he's been on my mind non-stop, and I just want to be in his arms. My stomach has been feeling nauseous lately, but I'm not pregnant because I have taken multiple pregnancy tests, and they all came out negative. Ever since I left after Momma D's wedding and came home to my parent's, I've been in a slump. Half of the time I don't want to get out of bed. I crave to be in Jade's arms.It's been refreshing having time for myself and meeting a man because my life in Florida doesn't give me time. When Jade asked me to stay, I was hesitant at first. I had just met the man and I don't know what it is about him, but after my talk with Winter I made my decision to stay. I still have to put my two weeks in at the hospital and move my belongings. The days can't go by any faster. I wonder if Jade will be willing to come back to Florida with me as I finish my tim
A bright light woke me from my sleep. I opened my eyes and quickly closed them. I continuously blinked my eyes so they could adjust to the bright light.My eyes finally adjusted, and I sat up. As I looked around to take in my surroundings, I realize I am in a garden. Beautiful different flowers surrounded me. Roses, peonies, different types of lilies, hydrangeas, every type of flower there is, was neatly planted in this beautiful garden.I started walking down the rows of flowers taking in their beauty when an angelic voice interrupted me."Welcome to my garden, Winter, of the Snowstorm Pack."I whipped my head to the voice and was blinded once again by the beauty of the woman in front of me. She is a tall, long snow-white hair, with eyes of crystal, lady. Her robes are pristine white with gold embellishments around the cuffs and down the front. A shiny gold crescent moon crown laid upon her head gracefully. As she walked closer towards me, she seemed to be floating."I am Selene, the
Winter- Six months laterMarried life and Luna life have been pretty amazing. Our parents took a well needed vacation on a cruise and Brad and Jani went to Europe.Jade and Maddie became official Beta and Lady Beta of the pack. Since Maddie has Lady Beta duties, she quit her job at the pack hospital, but still volunteers there every week.Alpha Stephan and Luna Samantha have welcomed their second pup, Ashlynn. We rotate visiting them each month so we can see them and our godpups. Samantha enjoys being Luna and the Black Howl Pack seems to really love her. She is striving and I couldn’t be more proud to have met her and become friends with her.Lydia is currently serving her sentence at the Black Howl Pack just as Alpha Stephan said she would. Two times a day for four hours in the pillory. I don’t know if she will ever understand the damage she has caused between our packs, but I hope that she will realize it and feel guilty about it for the rest of her life.Lydia’s father met his sec
Nine Months Later.Today is the day. My wedding day. My Luna ceremony. And it’s Christmas. My stomach is filled with butterflies and I barely slept the night before. Blake stayed at the pack house in his old suite since it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. That’s probably one of the reasons why I barely slept.Maddie stayed with me last night so we could go over last minute wedding details and so I wouldn’t be alone. My mom brought my wedding dress over first thing this morning and Gloria and Jani came over to help calm my nerves. My wedding/ceremony isn’t until tonight so we plan on having a full spa treatment. After the spa, we are scheduled for our nail appointment, then following hair and make-up.Nancy will meet us at the salon with Paige so that she can look her best as well. For the past nine months, Paige has been so excited about being the flower girl. She takes the role very seriously. It’s rather adorable to be honest.“Alright ladies, it’s almost time for our
Two Weeks LaterThings around our pack have been quiet and peaceful. I feel a little piece of my heart left when Samantha went to Black Howl with her new mate.Maddie‘s wolf, Blaire, finally came forward and tonight is Maddie’s first shift. She’s excited and nervous, but mostly excited. Maddie has been busting her ass making sure she’s strong enough thanks to Samantha helping train Maddie.I was able to round up some volunteers to help build the apartment complexes for new members. Construction has started and of course everything is a mess. I have drawn up blueprints of how I would like the apartments to look.The first two floors are going to be a mix of studio apartments and two-bedroom ones. the third and fourth floors are going to be two- bedroom and three-bedroom ones. And the fifth and sixth floors are going to be larger apartments for larger families. Each apartment will contain soundproof walls so that everyone will live peacefully.Every kitchen will have state of the art ap
The courtroom area in the pack house is filled to the brim with pack members. Everyone is eager to see what Lydia‘s punishment would be. Since my dad and Alpha Stephan have agreed to split up Lydia’s punishment, Alpha Stephan will be joining my dad, Jared, and Gramps at the judge‘s desk.The rest of us are sitting in the front row waiting patiently for the trial to start. I wrapped my arm around Winter to comfort her. I can feel her body relax the instant I touch her. “Are you okay?” I ask, knowing she’s probably raging underneath her tense facade.“I’m okay, but Avalanche is pacing around in my head. She‘s growing impatient.” Winter confessed.Shadow whined in my head, sensing Avalanche’s uneasiness. I kiss Winter on the temple to hopefully help Ava relax a little bit. Winter sighed a breath of relief which I take as a sign that Ava calmed down.Two warriors stood on each side of Lydia. Though I can’t see her face, her blonde hair is a complete disaster as though she’s been pulling a
Having a lazy day with Blake is just what the doctor ordered. I feel completely refreshed and ready to take on the day. Lydia’s trial is tomorrow and I am curious as to what her punishment will be. But for now, I am not going to think about her and all the damage she’s caused.Today, me, Maddie, mom, Gloria, and Jani are going wedding dress shopping. The five us piled into Jani’s large SUV and headed to the closest town where the cutest bridal boutique is.Forty-five minutes after leaving the pack border, we arrived at Enchanted Bridal Haven. The shop is a quaint little hole in the wall and has everything a bride can dream of. Dresses upon dresses lined the walls, tiaras, earring, and necklaces, were in enclosed cases in each corner of the shop. Different veils, all sizes, hung on the wall behind a counter.Four massive mirrors graced the main wall with small circular platforms in front of them. The dressing rooms were off to the side down a small hallway. All of us were in awe of thi
********MATURE CONTENT********Yesterday was certainly a wild ride. No one expected Lydia to be behind the attacks on Black Howl. Although, now it made sense why Winter’s ex looked familiar to me.He was the one I caught with Lydia in the woods right before I broke up with her. I don’t know how we didn’t know he was a rogue let alone the feral leader.When I met him in Georgia, he had no scent of a wolf on him. He smelled strictly of human. I won’t dwell on it because I’m glad he’s dead. Lydia has proven she’s a psychopath and Winter has decided that Lydia deserves to be executed. I stand by my mate a thousand percent and Shadow huffed in agreement.Winter may be a sweet and caring person, but I would not want to cross Avalanche by any means. I woke up early in the morning to meet with my dad and go over Lydia’s hearing.A few of the guards have been complaining about Lydia‘s obnoxious behavior down in the cells. I apologize to them as though there isn’t anything I can do. I give them
We ran like our lives depended on it. I had a strong gut feeling something was horribly wrong. With as fast as we ran, we reached the Black Howl pack in an hour and a half. A very foul stench hit my nose and bile began to rise in the back of my throat. Chaos could be heard through the forest.Avalanche was on autopilot. Following the sounds, a clearing could be seen. The foul scent got stronger and became more unbearable. I recieved a massive headache out of nowhere.That's the mate bond. Something’s wrong with Shadow. Avalanche said.My stomach dropped and that's when I saw Shadow and Leo being flung off of a massive feral. Rage burned inside of me.****We left the Black Howl pack and headed home. I can't believe I killed someone. or rather a feral. I have never killed anyone before, and yet, I don't feel a pang of guilt. Making it back home, a crowd was waiting outside of the pack house.Nerves began to rack in my body. How am I suppose to tell these people where we went? Won't the
Three more days have gone by, making it a week since we have arrived, and the Black Howl has much improved on their fighting. At first, a lot of the pack members groaned and protested. Alpha Stephan got tired of their complaining and put his foot down like an Alpha should.The ferals have yet to attack and we take it as a good sign. "Again!" Max shouts to the trainees. He has them sparring in their wolf forms for obvious reasons, while myself and everyone else walk around and help if anyone has questions or suggestions.Three hours later, and the sun has started to go down. "Alright everyone great job! Head to the showers and we will have a big cookout at the pack house. I think you all deserve it!" Stephan says causing everyone to cheer.He's not wrong, they do deserve to celebrate a little for putting in their hard work. I watch as the Black Howl members leave the training field, and I noticed a young she-wolf side-eyeing with a smile starting to curve her mouth while she looks at J
It’s been four days since our warriors left to help Black Howl. Four days of missing my mate. Four days of working out at the complex nonstop. Four days since Maddie was marked by Jade.Since I‘ve discovered Maddie’s mark, I haven’t really been able to talk to her. The day everyone left, and Maddie walked home with me, she was so upset about Jade leaving that she didn’t even want to go into details about her mark. She’s been working nonstop at the hospital trying to keep busy.My mom has also been trying to find things to keep busy with to keep her mind busy as well. Since my mom is the Lady Beta, she’s been helping Gloria and Jani around the pack doing volunteer work at the hospital and she even started picking up some shifts at Suzy’s diner.I really think my mom is trying to not let herself go back to her depression that she had after my father passed. Usually after I get done training, I’ll go to Suzy’s to see my mom and even help her if she has orders or needs help clearing table
