Blake, Shadow whispered, Blake, Wake up!"Huh?", I groaned not wanting to wake up. It's time to go see Winter! Shadow all but cheered in my head.My eye shot open as I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to freshen up. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and jogged to my closet to find some clothes. I decided on blue jeans, a white t-shirt, black leather jacket, and some Timberlands. When I was happy with my look, I ran downstairs to have a quick breakfast then head to Donna and Jared's."Good morning, Blake. Are you hungry?" mom asked while placing eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and hashbrowns on the table."Starving," I said with a smile. Last night worked up an appetite but my parents didn't need to know that. I grabbed a plate and put a little bit of everything on it. Wolves have a huge appetite and can eat three times more than the average human."I thought you said you were starving," mom questioned as she raised an eyebrow at me."I am, but I have somewhere to be th
By the time I got home mom had already left with Mrs. Conners. The snow had started to fall and so I started to make some hot chocolate and curl up on the couch and watch a Christmas movie. About halfway through the movie, my phone alerted me with a text message.Maddie: Hey girl! I just landed and I'm heading to my parent's house. I don't want to keep you from anything, but I just wanted to let you know I made it safely. I hope we can get together today! I can't wait to see you!Her text made me smile. It's been forever since I've seen Maddie. I decided to ask Mr. and Mrs. Conners if Maddie could visit and we could go to the festival together and catch up. I turned the tv off and put my hot chocolate mug in the sink before putting my coat and boots on.I decided to walk to the Conners house instead of driving so that I could admire the Christmas decorations better. I couldn't believe all the decorations; these people knew how to decorate. "Maybe I could ask for help next year when I
********MATURE CONTENT********Shadow ended up running all the way to the pack's southern boarder before dad mind linked us.Blake? Jade? Interesting my dad is asking for both of us.Yes, Alpha?Yes, dad? Jade and I answered at the same time.I need to see you both in my office please. I have a matter to discuss with you. Well this sounds serious.Yes, Alpha. We both said and Shadow headed back to the pack house.An hour and a half later, we reached the tree line to the pack house and shifted back. I grabbed my clothes I had stashed away and got dress. As I made my way up to the front door and I could smell Winter. She was here? I followed her scent through the house and to my dad's office. When her scent lead through the door, Shadow growled. What was she doing here? "Come in," dad stated as I was getting ready to knock.I opened the door and saw Jade sitting on the couch. He looked just as clueless as I did. Jared sat in the chair in front of my dad's desk with a smirk on his face a
I woke up to a text from Maddie saying she was on her way. I sent her a quick text telling her to come in and come upstairs when she got here then jumped out of bed and ran into my closet to put warm clothes on. I forgot to tell the guards at the gate about her arrival! I rushed through my bedroom and down the stairs to my shoes. The house was quiet so I assumed my mom wasn't home yet. I grabbed my purse and the car keys and ran out to the car.I started the car and made my way to the gate. 20 minutes later and I saw a guard stop me. "Excuse me," I said to the guard, "I meant to tell you that I have a friend coming to visit me. Her name is Maddie Johnson." The guard held up his index finger indicating me to wait a moment while he went into the guard shack. Not even a minute later the guard came back."Alright Miss Stevens, apologies for the delay, I had to confirm her visit.""No worries, thank you!" I shouted and turned around to head home.When I got home the house was still empty.
When the girls approached the festival, Shadow perked up immediately. Mate! She looks beautiful, Shadow said when I snapped my head in Winter's direction. Goddess, Winter looked stunning in her light blue skinny jeans that hugged every curve of her toned legs. Her long, wavy auburn hair rested perfectly around her shoulders. Her beautiful heart shaped face flushed from the cold breeze. Her peacoat wrapped her perfect body.Do you smell that? Jade asked me through our mind link. It smells like peaches and vanilla.No, I don't smell anything like that. I just smell my mate. I told him."Good evening, gentlemen," Winter greeted us once they were close enough. "I'd like to introduce you my best friend Maddie. Maddie, this is Blake and Jade.""Damn!" Maddie shouted before covering her mouth. "I'm so sorry, I just wasn't expecting God-Like creatures to be joining us." I noticed Jade was tense for a split second before he held his hand out for Maddie to shake.You alright bro? I asked him th
********MATURE CONTENT********Oh my God I kissed Blake! And my hand wandered to his crotch! I couldn't be more embarrassed even though I didn't want to stop. His kisses were sweet, savory, and passionate. My mouth exploded with fireworks the moment his tongue slipped into my mouth. The way his-"Are you okay Winter?" Blake asked me bringing me out of my thoughts."Yes, sorry I was just thinking about tonight. I had an amazing time tonight. Thank you for that. It seems like forever since I had that much fun," I said while giving him my sexiest smile."I had a lot of fun too. It's been a long time since I've had that much fun as well, so I must thank you too." Blake admitted.Blake put his arm around me as I shivered from the cold air brushing past me. At least I think it's the cold.We were almost to my mom's house when I stopped to admire the Christmas decorations. "My mom has come a long way with her decorating since my dad" I nearly whispered. He moved his arm lower to wrap around
The morning sun was shining through the window. I looked over and saw Winter sleeping soundly. I can't believe the amazing night we shared. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was already seven thirty. We had an hour and a half before we had to meet everyone for breakfast. I rolled a little more towards Winter since she was facing me, and I started giving her sweet kisses on her cheek and earlobe. Goddess, she was even breathtaking in her sleep. Her long auburn hair was all over her pillow with a few strands on her face."Winter, baby?" I whispered in her ear."Mmm?" She stirred a bit before her eyes fluttered open. "Good morning," she said smiling from ear to ear."Good morning, my sweet" I said lovingly while giving her a gentle kiss. "It's time to wake up. We have ninety minutes until breakfast with everyone. I need to head home and shower.""Can't you shower with me here?" she let out a small whine. I couldn't help but give a small laugh."I wish I could babe. But I think
My mom wants me to give her away? What an honor! I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I mean of course I would do it."I'd be honored, mom." I whispered while having a tear in my eye."That means a lot to me," my mom held her hand to her heart. "Maddie, will you be here for the wedding?""If you want me here, Momma Donna, then I will be here." Maddie said with a bright smile."Of course, I want you here. You are practically family." Mom said. "The wedding will be held at the small pond behind Pierce's and Gloria's house. There's a gazebo where we will be standing under." mom continued.I started to block out the conversation when my mind kept going to Blake. His gentle touch, his sweet and passionate kisses, the way my body reacts to him just by being in close proximity. The way my thighs burn for him. My mind went back to our steamy night. How his cock felt inside me. How his tongue and mouth felt all over my body. I could feel myself getting moist before a voice broke me out
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
