As can be expected, apologies were never my strong suit. Maybe it was the fact that I was so very rarely wrong, therefore the need to apologize seldom came. But for some reason I could not let him walk away without knowing I had felt a miniscule amount of remorse for my part in what happened. I would not admit fault in that situation, though. Only that I had not intended to cause him pain. I did not actually do anything wrong. How was I to know he would be able to sense my intimate interactions with others? That was a rather odd and disturbing effect of the mate bond. If I had known that he would have been able to feel what was happening, would that have changed anything? I wanted to tell myself the answer to that would be no, but I felt that was yet another lie.

That little move he did right before he left had me in a state of shock. I had not foreseen him flipping my attempt of seduction around in such a way. I tried to remain calm, but my body betrayed me once again. That seemed to

    I awoke to the blaring sound of an alarm, not the kind that is meant to be a simple reminder, the kind that is a warning, one that signifies something is very wrong. I jumped up trying to catch my bearings now on high alert. I am always prepared for anything no matter the setting. My eyes darted to the clock, aware that I was not within the sun-protected walls of vampire compound and breathed a sigh of relief. It was after dusk, which meant I would be able to move about more freely.The alarm continued to blare and as I darted into the hallway, I could see strobing lights coming through the windows. I ran through the large house from room to room trying to figure out what was happening. Wolves ran past me without a second glance. Apparently, whatever was going on was more important than a vampire running around.I finally picked up the scent of someone familiar before he ran right into me. His hands gripped my shoulders holding me tight. “I was just heading to your room. What

    My senses guided me directly to him. I was offended these creatures dare attack the place I would be lying my head for the next couple of days. Right then, I felt the need to be near him, the need to assist, and even protect these wolves who could not protect themselves. There was too much going on to doubt or second guess my actions. Those were all foreign feelings, but I would ponder on them later. Any false moves could lead to an untimely death for me and my never faltering self-preservation had kicked in. I would live to see another day and if that meant fighting alongside them, so be it. In that moment, I had a mission, and it was a mission I would see through to the end.As soon as I saw him in the midst of battle, my heart thumped betraying me. It was not that I feared for his safety. I had no doubt he would be unharmed. After all, I had witnessed firsthand the power he possessed, but still, being close to him in that moment felt… exhilarating. I watched in awe as he tore throug

    Atlas’ POVMoments like these had me glad Dad was still alpha. I hated giving speeches and these were the fucking worst. Having to look someone in the eyes and tell them you’re sorry for their loss, all will be okay, or time will heal and all that other shit is just fucked up and it wasn’t true, because they weren’t going to be okay. The severing of a bond was not something so easily forgotten. If it didn’t kill you, the pain it caused would be a forever part of you.I just wanted to walk away. Many had lost their lives tonight, and I couldn’t remember the last time I felt such a heavy weight on my chest. If only I had been faster. If only I had been stronger. If I could have been in two places at once. Was our security lacking? Had I not made them train hard enough? The guilt of wondering if there was more I could have done was overwhelming even though I knew deep down I did my best.I stood there half listening to his words knowing he felt the link break from them all even

    “Yeah, actually you are.” The she-wolf looked at me in a menacing manner crossing her arms as if she meant to be intimidating. Pathetic. She begged for attention from someone who clearly held no interest. I heard her words before, and I did not take lightly the fact that she seemed to show little remorse for the wolves who lost their lives the night before while I’m sure she was somewhere tucked away safely with no real threat of harm. I also had not forgotten the way she looked at me with not a sliver of sadness during a memorial meant to honor those same wolves. Did she have no compassion or humility? No matter. I had a knack for humbling others quickly.“Hmm. I was speaking to your future alpha. You hold no authority over me. In fact, it seems you hold no authority over anyone in this room. Is your haste to become luna blinding you in such a way that you would disrespect those who gave their lives in order for you to stand where you are now? How despicable.” My eyes da

    Atlas’ POVHoly fuck, this woman. She was doing things to me, and I didn’t know how much more will power I was able to muster to hold back from doing what I really wanted to her. The little thing she did with my drink, that fucking turned me on, not that it took much when it came to her. I watched in awe as she put herself between me and Sno possessively after Sno had grabbed on me. I already knew Onyx didn’t like when she touched me like that, so it was hard not to smirk. But when I realized how fucking close, she was to me, I couldn’t keep my hands to myself. Her ass was basically on my lap begging to be grabbed. What did she expect? I think she knew exactly what she was doing.For a second, when she turned around, I thought she might slap me, but honestly, it would have been worth it. Instead, she looked at me with a fiery lust in her eyes that contradicted her words. She told me I couldn’t touch her, but it was almost like she was daring me to do just that. Yeah, she fucking wanted

    I stared at the ceiling of a room that was not mine, lying in a bed that did not belong to me inside a house full of wolves, those who I once considered my enemy. The space was dark, but my sight was not affected. At some point someone had made adjustments to my room to prevent any light from the sun entering, a thoughtful gesture from those who were meant to dislike me.What was I doing here? There were still two nights left based on the agreement I made with the wolf, but the agreement was not binding. It was verbal. I could leave at any time, and yet I found myself getting comfortable and unwilling to do that.My thoughts were all over the place. I felt guilt thinking about what happened before I arrived. I left Elijah, my betrothed, in the midst of an intimate moment to be with someone else. Something had started to develop between me and Elijah, but now he rarely crossed my mind and I don’t think of him that way. Now, another was occupying that space.Originally the reason

    The conversation ended with her being more excited than ever, to my dismay. Sometimes her overly joyous demeanor was a bit much. It seemed she truly loved the fact I was with this wolf, and I could not be more annoyed. She continued to push me to my limits, and oh how I wished I had any alternative other than her. But I did not, and her assistance was necessary to save the alpha’s life. I would take one for the team, as they say.I stared at the reflection in the mirror. Even though tonight was supposedly meant to be casual, I found myself being more aware of my appearance with the intentions on looking presentable, more so than usual.As usual, I sensed the wolf before he came to my door. I forced myself into composure completely ignoring the fact of what I had just done after my conversation with Alpha Ezekiel. I believe I was experiencing some type of high before the crash, because tonight, I would enjoy this bonfire with him, and tomorrow it was very probable all hell would break l

    “There she is, Mommy!”My head whipped to the side at the familiar tiny voice, except this time instead of pleas of sorrow and anguish, her tone was sweet, filled with excitement and happiness. I looked down to meet the eyes of the little girl I had seen on the battlefield along with the woman that was her mother, the woman I saved with my blood.I frowned slightly peering down upon the girl’s small angelic face, but when she smiled widely revealing a missing bottom front tooth, it was hard not to match that smile. I felt eyes on us once again with obvious curiosity, but I ignored them. I was glad to see them both in better spirits.“Hello, little one.”“Hi! I wanted you to meet my mommy for real this time!”Atlas had now come to my side standing closely, protectively, and I felt the presence of the other three not far behind, but I was not surprised. Where one was the rest seemed to be close by. I would have to come up with a name for their little man group. The woman looked

    (FIVE YEARS LATER)Tiny voices of laughter and giggles filled the air, the most intoxicating sounds that I would never tire of. Little Atlas ran through the building chasing one of the other children. A spitting image of his father, with an attitude that was all me. I grinned at the thought. What an alpha he would grow up to be.“Mommy, he is mean to me.” A small voice spoke, tugging at the fabric on my waist. I bent down kissing Iliana on her forehead. My daughter, the sweetest and equally most manipulative little girl. Hmm. Perhaps she was also like me.“Tell me, little one, what has your brother done to upset you now?”“He did not tell me happy birthday.” She peered into my eyes with a pout on her lips. This game was one she played very well in a way that had everyone in the palm of her hands.“He did. We woke you up together this morning. Do you not remember, sleepy head?”“Well, I do not think he got me a gift then.”“He wrote you a card, a gift from the heart, which

    (SIX MONTHS LATER)The sun shone down on us brightly as I basked in it while preparing for the upcoming celebration. So many were moving about frantically attempting to ensure everything was in place for tonight. Another joyous event to bring us all together.Six months had passed since the night me and Atlas began to plan for our future, and so far, everything had been going accordingly.A warm smile graced my face thinking about it all. Things had fallen into place so nicely. Everyone was in great spirits. The pack was thriving, happy, and its members were growing stronger. We were healthy, and thankful to be alive. Life was indeed enjoyable.For a time, I took over training our warriors, whipping them into shape before Arron was ready to take his place as head warrior while I fell into more luna duties.Manix and Wolfe also took their places as Atlas’ numbers one and two respectively. Admittedly, I had become quite close to those three, dare I say even friends?So many thin

    The door had barely slammed closed before his lips were on mine as we fought to pull the clothes from our bodies, a race to who could get undressed first.His tongue lashed out against my neck making me throb with an explicit need. Him inside of me was the only thing I wanted in that moment.“There are a couple ways I want to see that body tonight.” He pulled back from the kiss with his fiery blue and predatorial eyes locked on me like a target.The way he looked at me with such desire and want… never had anyone made me feel so needed.“I want to hear about them.” I replied with a breathless whisper, eagerly waiting for him to tell me about the ways he would handle me.“First, I want these legs and arms wrapped around me.” His hand slid down my thighs pulling them against his naked waist firmly. I bit my bottom lip, looking between our bodies feeling him harden between my leg before my eyes slowly trailed back to his.“And then what?” “Then I’m going to lick every part of you.” He wa

    Somehow, I allowed Araya to talk me into having a meeting of sorts with the females. She called it a “girls’ night.” Though, the reasoning behind it was unclear to me in the beginning, I realized later she meant to have “fun.” Unfortunately, her idea of fun tended to differ from my own, usually to include alcohol, and she was a horrible drunk.The boys were around the pack boundaries somewhere with explicit instructions not to intervene. It was very clear who ran things amongst these parts.Hours and many drinks later, we were speaking freely with loose lips.“I still can’t believe you’re with a wolf and you decided to stay here,” Lilith rolled her eyes, expressing her displeasure in my decision for the umpteenth time. “They are so very irritating. I’m unsure how you can cope.”“Oh, is that so? You seem to enjoy being irritated by one in particular.” I cocked a brow looking at her from across the table as a smirk formed on my lips.“No. That is… it is untrue. Take it back!” Her body

    Atlas’ POV“Luna Onyx, good morning.” One of my wolves greeted the woman that damn near took my breath away everytime our eyes met as she walked beside me through the halls. That title sounded so good, and I would never get tired of hearing it knowing the meaning behind it.She was mine. She belonged to me, but not like some property. More like she was a part of me, a piece of my heart, like our souls were forever intertwined and I couldn’t live without her. She was the female leader of our pack and my equal, the one entrusted to give me guidance, with our safety, and someone I could lean on in every way.A real fucking queen. My queen. She replied back to him with words and a fucking cute smile of her own, a gesture that had become more frequent as the days went by. What she said, I had no clue, because like always, I was so caught up in her beauty everything else was a haze.It was hard to believe a couple of weeks had passed since that crazy night where I almost met my end and now

    Atlas’ POVI’m pretty sure you’re not actually supposed to walk towards that white light, but how can you not when it’s so damn warm and welcoming?No. This wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to die like some dickhead. I needed to get back to her.Something happened after I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax. I was no longer in that dark cave lying on my back staring into the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen as a strong weakness overcame me. So where exactly was I? Heaven or hell? My track record would indicate it should be hell, but it definitely wasn’t what I expected.Fuck. Was this really it? Did I actually die? I didn’t want to be dead. I was too handsome to die young, and there was so much unfinished business left, so many things for me to do.My family… my loved ones… my mate… I never got to spend the time with her I wanted. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. We had so much more life to live and so much to look forward to. I had plans for us like han

    “What have you done to him!?” My voice traveled through my own ears in a muffled tone as I pushed through the pain calling upon all of my strength. With blackened eyes that reflected complete hatred and disgust, I met the gaze of the three before me as I held the weakened body of the man that meant so much to me. He was all but limp within my arms, a realization that clenched my heart even tighter. Although he was still alive, he was fading fast.How could this be happening? The moment I begin to have a semblance of happiness, it is taken from me? Sno’s eyes had widened as she darted glances between the wolf I knew to be her father and the other woman who I had concluded was the witch, the very one that had inflicted this pain on me. It was still there, but I no longer cared. The only thing on my mind was saving him.“Answer me!”“So you’re still involved? Interesting.” The nameless wolf spoke. He smelled less than unpleasant, and I hated him.Ignoring his words, I stayed

    Atlas’ POVMy eyes shot open, all sense of time and direction completely out of whack. I had passed out again. Was it day or night? What day even was it? It was obvious I was underground somewhere in a rocky cavern type place, and with the constant dripping and damp ground, seemed like the location was around some type of body of water.By this point, I’m sure it was known we’d been taken. Once again, I tried to link Arron and Wolfe, but nothing. Still, they seemed to be alive in some capacity since I hadn’t felt their death. Thank the gods for that at least. So far that much of what Sno said had been true.I found myself wondering if she would come back and help me, the intent to kill her somewhat dissipating. The way she left let me know she had been shaken up and I was sure a talk with her dusty dad was imminent. That fucker. He had been plotting all these years. Another power-hungry, selfish prick. I could never imagine sending my pup out to do my bidding, risking their safety in

    Atlas’ POV Well, that fucking hurt. My neck was stiff, body weaker than before, and my senses were all discombobulated. What the hell was in that shit they put in my neck? It was way stronger than just pure wolfsbane. Someone was coming.Not that my vision was clear anyway, but my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head from annoyance once they landed on the familiar approaching figure. Fucking Sno. She seriously didn’t get it. But I didn’t have much energy. Whatever they had me chained with seemed to be draining me, preventing me from using my power in addition to the injection that had just knocked me out like Tyson.She didn’t speak but her mere presence brought me back to reality. I had been captured and was being held there against my will. They wanted my power thinking it belonged to them. And that fucking bastard Anus or Ranus – oh yeah, Remus or some shit, but I didn’t really care – he insinuated he killed them, Wolfe and Arron. My warriors, my friends…Snap ou
