********MATURE CONTENT********Alpha Pierce was right; the full moon came before I knew it. The past few weeks I have been training every day twice a day. My body feels and looks so much stronger. Muscles rippled through my arms, my already flat stomach has more muscle definition, and my legs also have defined muscles that peek through every time I walk.Jade and Maddie have made it back from Florida and Maddie started at the pack hospital as the head nurse. Tonight is the first full moon since I've moved here and I'm excited to finally have my first shift. Pierce, Gloria, Mom, Jared, Maddie, Jade, and Blake will all be there to support me. Blake told me that my first shift will be painful, but the support from all my loved ones will make it easier.Mom and Jared came home from their honeymoon a week ago and Carmen has awakened from her coma. Mom is happier than ever to have her wolf back. I ended up telling her about Selene visiting me in my dreams, and as I told her, Mom's eyes tear
********MATURE CONTENT********Last night with Winter was pure heaven. Winter's first shift was successful, and her wolf is absolutely stunning. I have never seen a pure silver wolf before. Ava's fur glittered in the moonlight and her piercing emerald eyes matched perfectly making her look like the goddess she is.After we finally marked each other, we couldn't keep our hands to ourselves.I woke up to the sun shining through the double French door windows and turned to see Winter sleeping peacefully beside me. I glanced at my phone and saw it was already 11am. Dad's going to kill me.I quickly showered and dressed without waking Winter before heading out of the door to the pack house. I entered through the front door and spotted Lydia in a maid's outfit carrying a big basket of laundry. Her brown hair is disheveled and all over the place. I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped me. Serves her right."Come in," dad said after I knocked on his office door. I entered his office and saw
After what felt like an eternity, I finally caught up on all my assignments.Another maid came to clean my office and I felt terrible because of the mess we caused. I offered to make her some lunch, but she politely declined saying she needed to head back to the pack house and finish her other chores.I'm on my way back, my love, and mom said my grandparents have returned. Dinner will be at 7pm. Blake mind linked me. I nearly jumped out of my skin when it came through. I'm not used to the whole mind link thing.I told him okay and glanced at the time. I have 3 hours to get ready. I got up from the couch and went upstairs to my closet to find something nice to wear. It's my first time meeting his grandparents and I want to make a good impression. I pulled out a deep purple dress and a simple cream color dress.The purple dress is silk with short sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. A small bow comes across the waist and the hem stops just above the knees.The cream dress is made of satin
Shadow and Ava ran around the pack the majority of the night. Shadow loves spending time with his mate and I love running with Winter.Both wolves were worn out and headed back to the house so Winter and I could shift back."Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow night?" I asked Winter as we walked into the house."What did you have in mind?" she asked raising an eyebrow."I was thinking a candle lit dinner, then maybe we can go ice skating, and then finally coming home to 'snuggle'." I said walking over to the dining room to gather our clothes."Mmm, sounds like the perfect date." Winter purred before letting out a small yawn.I laughed at her small yawn. "Come on, let's go to bed."The next morning, Winter headed to the training complex with my mom, Donna, and my grandma. I headed to the pack house to talk with my dad, grandpa, and Jared. Jade tagged along since Maddie had to work.Dad sat at his desk, Jared is in his usual seat in front of my dad, and my grandpa was sittin
********MATURE CONTENT********Stunned. Shocked.Blake has asked me marry him. Tears flow down my cheeks as I nod my head.“Yes! Yes!“ I’m practically jumping up and down. Blake slides the ring on my finger and stands up crashing his lips on mine.Cheers came from the forest breaking us from our kiss. I look around and everyone has come to witness this special moment.Maddie, Mom, Gloria, and Jani come over to give me a big group hug while all them men circle around Blake giving him a handshake.I am beyond ecstatic that our family and friends got to witness Blake‘s and mine special moment. We skated off the ice to stand in the snow without the risk of falling on the ice.“We are so excited for you,” Gloria gushed as tears pricked her eyes.“My baby girl is getting married.” Mom’s voice started to crack. “I am so happy for you, my beautiful daughter.” Tears ran down my mom’s cheeks and I pulled her into a big hug.“I love you mom,“ I said as tears started to threaten to fall.“When yo
I woke up early to help my dad with the files of the new members. We ended up gaining twenty new members in the past week. We are starting to run out of places to put these new wolves and my mind immediately went to Winter’s idea of the apartment complex.After a few hours of work, I could feel Shadow getting restless before I started feeling tingles throughout my body. I have never felt these tingles before unless Winter touches me.Our mate is being naughty. Shadow said panting as though he just ran a marathon. We need to go to her. She’s aching for us. My cock started to harden at the thought of Winter pleasuring herself.“You okay, Blake?” My dad asked bringing me from my thoughts.“Yeah, I need to go. I’ll be back.”Without another word, I ran out of my dad’s office, through the pack house, and headed straight for home.The sweet smell of Winter’s arousal smacked me right in the face as soon as I opened the front door. My cock twitched in my pants and I started making my way up t
For once, I actually woke up before Blake. Tomorrow, he leaves for Black Howl, but he didn't specify how long he will be gone. If rogues are attacking, I'm worried for everyone's safety.I was told that rogues haven't attacked our pack in years due to the high security, but what if when the rogues are done with Black Howl, they will come for our pack next? I try to wipe the thought from my mind as I crawled out of bed to take a quick shower.Blake was still sleeping, so I decided to go to the kitchen and make him a big breakfast. I made pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, and toast. I heard movement upstairs as I plated the food and started on making the coffee."Mmm, something smells good." Blake said as he entered the kitchen, kissed me, then sat down at the kitchen island."Eat up." I smile and pour both of our coffee's.We ate in silence and my mind kept going back to last night's conversation. I keep trying to convince myself that I will be okay without Blake here, but in
I feel a sense of unease coming from Winter as we stand on the stage. The ladies hung back so us men can address the pack.More pack members were arriving and we waited patiently until everyone was situated. I can hear Winter’s heart beating loudly. I know she’s worried and I understand how she must feel.She has never experienced anything like this. My mind raced to the night of the attack on our pack when George died. Does Winter think that’s going to happen to me?Winter doesn’t know how experienced I am at fighting. Before she came into my life, I spent hours upon hours training and sparring only to walk away without a scratch or bruise on me.There has to be a way to reassure her that I will come home to her. That we will all come home to our loved ones.I thought about Winter’s panic attack on our way here, and then it dawned on me: Winter is worried about her mom.She loves her mom with everything in her. I have to make sure Jared comes home to Donna.My dad taps the microphone
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
