********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
After mingling with some people, Blake and I hit the dance floor. We danced for what felt like hours when Paige and a few of her friends begged for my attention. Of course, I couldn’t say ”no” to the children and allowed them to dance with me and Blake.Blake held a little girl in his arms and I held a little boy in mine. We danced with each of the children until they were worn out and went back to their parents to get some food.Tonight turned out to be so much fun that I almost forgot about Blake leaving tomorrow. I’m dreading the time when he leaves.Winter, you need to let loose and have some fun. Stop worrying. Enjoy your time with Blake. Avalanche advised.She’s right. I shake the worry from my mind and continue to enjoy the evening.“Are you hungry?”, Blake asks coming up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.“Starved,” I answer grabbing his hand and start making our way to the table where all the food is. The selection is incredible! Burgers (ones Alpha Pierce didn’t burn)
We are almost at the Black Howl pack. Shadow whined in my head when we left our pack lands. He hates leaving Winter and Avalanche at home and so do I, but there’s nothing I can do. I couldn’t bring Winter with me even if I could. She has no experience fighting a real battle and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if something were to happen to her.We stopped a few times to let our wolves rest and rehydrate. The cars with all of our belongings should reach Black Howl before we get there. We only have a few more hours to go.“Hey man, can I tell you something?” Jade came up to me questioning.“Sure, what’s up?” I ask.“I marked Maddie.”That’s wonderful news! “Congrats, man! We will be home in time for her first shift. We still have a whole month until the next full moon.”Leo hangs his head low and I don’t understand why. Shadow gently nudges Leo as a sign of comfort."Talk to me. What's going on?" I press."It's just that, I shouldn't have marked her knowing she's going to be star
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
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
