I had borrowed a jeep used by the pack rather than taking my SUV into the forest to camp. As much as I’m sure it could handle the terrain, I don't want to get my SUV dirty when I can use one of the jeeps specifically for this. We take pups camping usually every full moon even though they are too young for their wolves. We want them to know our territory and learn how to navigate and survive it even without their wolf.
I wanted to comfort Sarael and ease her worries and anxiety about our mating tonight. But it was hard when I had my own. There is so much uncertainty with this endeavor. We have only what the book says. But there was only one instance of a ranked wolf mated to a human referenced. All I can do is trust the moon goddess and hope that nothing goes wrong.
“Have you heard anything about Khalid?” she asked. Well, that’s certainly not a subject I
New chapters are posted Monday-Saturday. The final chapters are currently scheduled for Saturday, November 13th.
It was exhilarating riding on Irving’s back. And unlike last time, we aren’t rushing off to danger. This time there is no one trying to kill anyone. It’s just us out here in nature. It’s been a long time since I’ve been camping. I can at least be sure this camping trip will be more memorable than my camping during college. I can only assume spending more time in nature will be something we do more often. Especially if I develop a wolf spirit. Twice a month, I’ll be able to shift and run through the forest with Irving at his side. I blinked as we came to a stop in a clearing. It was obviously a place that has seen campers in the past. “It’s beautiful out here.” I commented as I slipped off Irving’s back. The space had obviously been cleared, but I could still see native flowers poking out around the surrounding cedar trees that surrounded the space. 
Everything seemed to be going perfectly. Precisely as the book indicated. I marked Sarael, and she was able to mark me. But then it went to hell and fast. She felt like she was burning up, her whole body was shaking, and I knew it wasn’t from pleasure. Her eyes had rolled into the back of her head. It was almost like she was having a seizure. I’d quickly moved off her calling out to her, hoping maybe she’d hear me. But she didn’t. ‘I can’t hear her. If the bond is complete, I should hear her thoughts. Feel what she feels.’ I was frantic. Irving whimpered because another reason we wouldn’t hear her was if she were dead. But if she was dead we’d feel it. Our hearts would be ripping to shreds. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I gently shifted to her side and treated this like a seizure. Right now, I just need to keep her airways clear and wait. This was
You know the saying ‘slept like the dead.’ I think that’s an accurate term for how I slept. I was so drained of energy I barely remember returning to my human form. I was a little disoriented when I felt the cold air, followed by John’s voice telling me to wake up. The sun was barely over the horizon. We had a late and hectic night. I am sore all over. ‘What is this strange feeling? Why do I feel panicked and incredibly pissed off? That’s not my emotions. Nova? Are you panicking and pissed?’ I questioned, trying to place the feelings. Nova yawned, stretching as she got to her feet. ‘Nope. I was having a happy dream about Irving biting the back of my neck while he fucked me hard.’ she sighed longingly. This was going to take getting used to. ‘Okay. So it wasn’t your emotions. So then…’ I didn’t have to finish the thought as John made it clear they came from hi
The fight at the airstrip was utter chaos. I don’t even know how Sakina got so many Hunters here so quickly. But my pack and I were not letting them leave here alive. Hunters haven’t had the gall to cross into Bloodmoon territory in decades. Well, this blood bath will help ensure that fear is restored. Maybe we let one or two live to spread the word that the Bloodmoon pack is still just as ferocious as ever. I didn’t want to get separated from Sarael, but Irving had other ideas. ‘Sarael is a skilled fighter. And now that we’ve completed the bond, she has our strengths and Nova. Our mate will handle her sister. She vowed to do so as Beta, let her.’ Irving said as he rammed through the chaotic scene. We took down hunters, ripping into throats, and tore off a few limbs, making our way to Khalid. ‘Fine. We trust Sarael and Nova to handle Sakina. But I told
For a moment, he stopped. Yellow eyes narrowed at me before growling and spitting out the leg, taking a step in my direction. Does this boy want to challenge me? Oh, this is not the time or place for his shit. “KURT STEPHAN ADLER, YOU WILL STAND DOWN! GODRIC! STAND DOWN NOW!” I commanded but readied for a fight. Kurt launched himself at me in a blind rage. I was quick to catch him, stopping him from clamping his jaw into my shoulder. “I know you are angry. I know you are in pain. I know you are afraid. I’m all those things too. But they will be okay. Isis will be okay. Mikali healed her.” I offered calm assurances as he snarled, trying to bite me. But as I said, Isis would be okay, and Mikali healed her, the fight slowly left him. Godric whimpered. ‘Really?’ Godric questioned. “Yes. I sent one of Sarael’s guards to watch over her as she was transported to the
After I woke up, it didn’t take long before some staff members checked on my injury and cleared me to be released. Not that I was going anywhere yet. I wasn’t leaving this hospital till Isis was awake. What would be the point? I’d be coming right back the moment she wakes up.Thankfully there are benefits to being the Beta. No one would try and kick me out to free up the bed. A significant difference between a werewolf hospital and a human one, that’s for sure. Which had me wondering something. “John?” I asked as he moved the rolling tray over my bed.He’d sent one of the Delaney brothers down to the cafeteria to bring back something to eat for everyone. Which I must admit I was famished. Though I had been dreading hospital food. But when Azriel pushed a cart of covered dishes into the room, my worry faded at the smell.
I sniffled, trying to hold in my own tears. In the end, I hated my sister for what she’d become and what she had done. But she was still my big sister. She was my family, and there was so much of my past connected to her. And it wasn’t all bad. My childhood may not have been the average childhood, but it was good and happy at times.“Sarael…” John softly cooed. I suddenly became aware he was holding me. My sister was a monster, and I know he hated her, but he’s holding me, letting me use him for comfort as I sobbed into his chest. Shedding tears not for the woman she was at the end but for the big sister she was in the past. I was going to miss my sister.“I’m… yeah..” Colby uneasily spoke as he ducked out of the room. I can imagine it wouldn't be comfortable for an outsider. Standing there abs
This last week with Sarael has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve never taken a day off from work. Not really. I’ve always been at the least on call. But after Sakina’s death and how Khalid managed to leave the country eluding capture, Logan insisted I not work or even be contacted for pack business for a minimum of a week. So we spent this last week at her house. I had brought enough clothes for the week but they for the most part seemed to be optional.Shu was not pleased with me basically moving in for the week. That cat is going to need to get used to it. I’m not going anywhere ever. For the most part, we didn’t leave her house. And to date, we’ve had sex in almost every room of her house. The only one missing is the guest bedroom. But it’s on Irving’s list, he’s just been trying to find a reason to get her in there.
