Valerian and I had been planning on how to tell Jax for a few hours now. By the time our plan was set it was already 4pm. We quickly got the items together so we would be ready by dinner time. I had asked Armand to invite Jax to dinner here. He was happy to do so.“This is gonna be so great!”I said with a huge smile as we put the last baby item into the box and closed it. Valerian yawned softly as I began to wrap the gift. He smiled at me as I put a nice gold bow on the top. “Do you think he’s going to be excited?”He asked as we headed downstairs to begin making dinner. I nodded as we took the steps slowly so neither of us tripped. “I think he is going to be thrilled!”I said with excitement in my voice. Soon enough we entered the kitchen. Valerian sat on a barstool by the counter while I got out the ingredients. We were making one of Jax’s favorite foods. “I’m scared though”Valerian said as I mixed smashed up avocados with some salt and pepper in a bowl. “I know, after everyth
After dinner we cleaned up and all went to the living room to watch a movie. I smiled as I snuggled against Armand’s side on the couch. We picked out some Disney movie to watch, but I wasn’t paying attention to it. My thoughts had slipped to the darkest part of my mind where the memories of last year lay dormant. I tried to suppress the vivid images that would plague my mind. I tensed for a moment when I felt movement on my arm before I relaxed remembering it was just my mate. “Are you alright love?”He asked softly as our eyes met. I forced a smile and nodded. He frowned before pulling me even closer. “Love, I know you’re not. I will not force you to talk about it; however, please don’t tell me you are alright when it’s written in your eyes and on your face that you aren’t”He stated before placing a soft kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest thankful he didn’t force me to talk about it. I smiled as he rested his head on top of mine thankful he was
One dark night in the middle of winter a lone male wolf ran through the snow. Eyes as dark as the night and fur to match. He carried a small bundle in his massive jaws. He fur painted red with the blood of the warriors from the Dark Knight Pack. The bundle in is mouth began to move and the whimpers of a young child could be heard in the gentle breeze. The male continued to run taking his prey with him. This child was worth the steal to him as she was powerful from birth. She was the only child of the Alpha and Luna of the Dark Knight Pack. He ran until he reached his own pack in the next state over. He had no children and his Luna had been killed months prior by his own hand. As he neared the pack house the child had begun to wail loudly causing other pack members to stare. His Beta met him at the bottom step of the pack house with a change of clothes in hand. He took the child from his Alpha and turned around so the Alpha could shift and change. “Beta, ta
“Alpha Armand, It is so good to see you again.” Luna Claris said with a smile. I turned to her and smiled as I nodded my head in respect “It is always a pleasure to have your family visit.” She gave a sad smile when I mentioned her family. “Have you still not found your daughter?” I asked her with a look of sympathy. Alpha Wyatt looked at me and said in a low baritone voice “No, 16 years, and still no sign of our little girl.” He frowned and pulled Luna Claris closer to him. I frowned and met his gaze “I wish I could help you find her. Though it would be a miracle if she is still alive.” I said honestly. They both nodded and smiled at me. “There is always hope.” Luna Claris said softly. I smiled and nodded my head. We left the office of the pack house followed by Alpha Nate, his Beta Craig, and my Beta Jax. We entered out respective cars and headed towards the hospital in the center of town in my territory. We had a mixture of humans and wolves here, but everyone here
“I can’t believe we both found our mates at the same time.” I heard a male voice speak. “I am surprised of course, but it makes sense since we are pretty much brothers.” I heard another male voice speak. I could smell an intoxicating scent. It reminded me of books, the smell after it rains, and fresh coffee. I wanted to find the source of the smell. I could feel tingles and sparks in my left hand and wondered what they were from. I laid there trying to fight through the darkness to open my eyes. I smelt him before I heard him, Alpha Nate. I wanted to scream and cry and run away, but I couldn’t move. I was paralyzed. I heard a frantic beeping then an alarm going off. A few other panicked voices could be heard before I heard someone telling Alpha Nate to please leave the room. My eyes flew open the moment he was kicked out followed by the other male voice I heard. I tried to sit up but let out a yelp of pain and laid back down. I felt the sparks again as I looked down at the hand tha
I watched as Doc poked the needle into Artemis’s arm and injected the sleeping medicine. “I’m sorry my love. You need to rest. I promise you are safe.” I said just before her eyes closed. I laid her back down on the bed and sat back down. Jax shut the door as Doc took his place in the other chair again. “I apologize Alpha. I know we need answers, but that panic attack was not good for her or the pup.” Doc said as he ran a hand through his hair. I gave him a sad smile “I understand Doc. I just wonder who it was that traumatized her.” I said as Jax walked over and stood at the end of the bed. Doc frowned “It could possibly be someone that looks like Jax since she was staring his way.” Jax turned his head towards Doc with wide eyes “I would never!” Doc let out a snicker “I did not say you did Jax. I said it was possible that the person looked like you.” -“H…hello?”- I heard a soft feminine voice in my mind. Tafari let out a pleased howl in my mind right after the v
I woke up to an irritating beeping noise. I growled at the noise before slowly opening my eyes. I heard a soft chuckle as my eyes took in the room. I made a confused faced as my gaze fell upon Alpha Armand. “What?” I asked softly as his eyes locked on mine.“You just growled at the heart monitor…unless you were growling at me?” He asked with a smile. I looked over at the machine making the beeping noise and scowled at it. I heard him chuckle again and my heart did a flip. I sat in silence for a few moments before I answered him.“I was growling at the beeping because it annoyed me.”I watched as he laughed causing his shoulders to shake slightly. I let my lips tilt into a slight smile. Something in me loved seeing him laughing.“Can I leave yet?”
I smiled as I watched my lovely mate sleeping. A knock on the door had me turning my head as I said “Come in.” Jax walked in with and shut the door behind him before he sat down in the other empty chair on the other side of the hospital bed. “So how is the Luna doing?” He asked as he leaned back into the seat. I looked back towards Artemis as I spoke softly “She just went back to sleep not too long ago. She has a lot to learn about life.” He arched an eyebrow so I continued to talk “She had a sandwich and said it was the best thing she had ever eaten. She didn’t know the difference between mating and rape…She went through so much that I am surprised she even survived. She didn’t trust the food either..apparently she got used to eating poiso

Hi lovelies,First and foremost I wanted to apologize. It’s been so long since I updated any stories and for that I’m terribly sorry. My personal life was flipped upside down and not in a good way. I’m slowly working on new chapters, but my personal life and health are still not where they need to be. I also went through a long time of writers block on where to go with the story; however, I know which way the story is headed. For those that continue to read my stories, I am thankful. You all are amazing. ~Ari~
I looked next to Valerian where Jax stood and my smile faltered. The forefront thought that came to my mind was that we had all lost our pups. I felt like my heart was tugged on tightly by a spiral of barbed wire as the images of what the witches had done flooded into my mind. I didn't realize I had zoned out in thought until I felt the sparks spread across my arms and chest area. I inhaled deeply and leaned back just a little trying to be as close as possible to Armand as I could while the world around me came back into sight. "Are you alright, My Love?" I finally heard him ask after a few more moments of me inhaling deeply using his scent to help me calm down. I didn't realize that I had been digging my nails into my hand to the point of almost bleeding until my vision came back into focus. I inhaled once more before I responded to him. "I...I'm fine" I said softly unsure of how I actually felt. I looked around again and noticed my parents were also there staring at us. They loo
When I woke up I was chained to a large bed in a dark room. I could just barely feel Arya in the back of my mind and I knew it would take time. I didn't know how long I had been out for and felt extremely weak. I looked around the large room and almost gagged when I smelled my old alpha's scent lingering in the air. I began to wonder if he had done anything to me while I was asleep, but didn't want to the answer to that either. I looked down my body and realized I was still in the same clothes from before. They were ripped and covered in blood, but still mostly covered me.-"Arya, I know I can't really contact you right this moment, but I hope you hear this. I promise to get us out of here"-I mentally told her just hoping she would hear that. I didn't know what the witch had done, but it had a long lasting effect it seemed. I took a moment before I began to try and unlock the padlock that kept the
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few moments before I heard a scuffling sound as if the phone was transferred to another person. "We will be there in two hours, please wait for us" I heard in the soft feminine voice of my mother-in-law. I nodded once before remembering they couldn't hear a nod causing me to respond verbally. "I will wait two hours, but after that I am leaving to get Artemis back it has been way too long already." I said before hanging up the phone and walking out of my office. I ended up pacing the floor, in the main living room, as everyone else returned using Alpha Kincaid's vehicles. I looked up briefly as Jax and Valerian entered the room. They were holding onto each other like they would disappear any second and I didn't blame them. I returned to pacing only pausing when Valerian spoke up. "I want to go with when you go to get Artemis back" He said while meeting my eyes with his. I could see a swirl of black in them before I looked away
I was just as shocked as Tafari when Arya reached out to us. It felt great to hear her voice in my head even if it was just for a little bit. I knew exactly where the witches were, but I had to make a call before going there. I picked up the office phone and called the alpha of that territory. He answered after the third ring. "Hello Armand, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked upon answering the phone. I normally wouldn't mind calling him and doing small talk since we are friends, but now was not the time for that. "Alpha Kincaid, I need your help" I told him using a formal tone. I could hear him moving around on the other end of the phone call. I hoped he would help me since we were friends. After explaining what was going on I let out a breath of relief. He agreed to help and told me he would arrive in a few short hours. When he arrived we briefly discussed our plan of action. I knew that Jax was eager to get Valerian back just as much as I was to get Artemis back. By the
I got a call from Andromeda telling me that I needed to come get Artemis early. When we walked down into the basement I was surprised to see how big her wolf was. I knew that I would never be able to control that beautiful she wolf. "What a shame" I mused out loud as the witches forced her to shift back into her human form. She was even more beautiful than I remembered her. She passed out and hit the concrete floor as I watched in silence. My wolf was barely there anymore, but I still had my strength. Artemis's wolf was taller than an average alpha wolf and the most unique colors. I knew she was special, but my mind was still trying to wrap around her colors. Her fur was the most interesting shades of purples, pinks, and blues with pure white paws like socks. "That is one big wolf" I heard Andromeda s
I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know I am so sorry that I haven't updated at all. I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life that has kept me from writing. I want you to all know that I am trying my best and will endeavor to write more. I am sorry for letting you down in my writing as of late. I can't wait to be in a place that I can write more freely, but I am not there as of right now. I hope you are all having a great life and that you continue to enjoy reading. ~A*i~
