I tried to make a final non-violent more diplomatic approach with the armed robber. I almost felt sorry for him. He did not know just who, or more correctly what, the fuck he was dealing with. But he was about to learn if he kept that gun in my face and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

I conjured a few tears to the surface and held up shaky hands in front of me to put on a good show. No one would be able to say I had not tried if the cops had to view the security camera footage of tonight. I had of course erased all the evidence of the wolf fight in my diner but had stored my sexual escapades, captured with both the Alphas, in a private, secured folder for my later viewing pleasure. So far, I hadn’t watched them as memories from both those nights still dominated my dreams, and I often awoke with wet panties afterwards. Now was so not the time for thinking about sex upon the very counter I was being held up behind with a gun aimed at my left tit.

    I felt like I was breathing through a straw as I desperately tried to suck air into my burning lungs. The voices of the young mates around me, came in and out, and I could barely grab onto any of their words. Fear and pain were overtaking me as each breath seemed to come harder than the one before. Tears streamed freely down my cheeks. I clawed at my chest ripping my shirt as the fabric was choking me. My blood ran like rivets across my now semi-bare chest, down onto the counter, then sliding onto the floor below. Wolf healing would have come in handy at a fucking time like this to slow my bleeding out. But my stupid stubborn pride and prejudice against Lycans was going to be the death of me once and for all. That bullet seemed to have hit more than just a lung on the way in. Lily’s face was pale near mine and her lips were moving but I couldn’t understand the words. I did understand when she gripped my hand in hers and held on tight. Rand reappeared in the corner of my vision and

    I do not know how much time passed as I struggled to come back from the void, and my life was like fragmented shards of awareness, pain, fear, comfort. But what remained constant was the presence of my mates. Even when my basic senses failed me, I could feel my grey wolf and my dark wolf inside me in a way that defied reason and logic. Even in the nothingness, between awake and asleep, life and death, they were there with me, so I was not alone. And when my vision faded, I could still smell their scents at my side, I could hear their beating hearts, and they spoke to me with more than just words. We connected on both this plane of existence, and the next it seemed, my mates anchoring me to this world, and keeping me from crossing over to the spirit world entirely. My body hovered that thin line between life and death as I had lost too much blood, but my mates would not allow me to go. Neither would my wolf, even when my human heart threatened to give out, when it sputtered and I did

    With a grunt, Roam turned and made for a pitcher of water on the counter, while Grey got some pillows adjusted beneath my back. I hissed with the movement, my chest and side were on fire and no matter how I eased myself slowly back into the pillows, or adjusted my hips, I could not get comfortable. His face scrunched up with worry and a sympathy tense on my behalf. “Tell me where it hurts,” he said softly. “Everywhere,” I admitted, through gritted teeth, “but nothing I can’t handle.” I traced down my body and felt a bandage on my side and I raised my eyebrows. The last thing I knew, I had been shot in the chest. I looked at my closest mate for an explanation. But it was the she-wolf who stepped closer to my bedside to answer. “Hello Miss White. I’m Raven, the Timberland’s pack healer, how are you feeling?” I sighed, “I’ve been better, but I’m alive. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.” She smiled, “No problem. But I can’t take all the credit. The Moon and your mates helped

    For such a large man, my dark mate sat me down on the toilet surprisingly gentle. He wasn’t intimidated by the heated look I gave him as he jutted his juicy ass against the sink with no intentions of going anywhere. Grey’s outline filled the doorway, but at least he had the decency to turn around to give me a small modicum of privacy. “I can’t go with you there watching,” I snarled. Roam chuckled darkly, “Liar.” And he was right because seconds later my stream released like a geyser only making him laugh harder. I hated him. I hated that I didn’t hate him at all. I hated myself in this weak, pathetic moment too. I growled as I jerked some toilet paper off the roll. “I suppose you want to wipe my ass too. I hate this!” Grey cleared his throat with his back still turned to me. At least one of these males respected me and my boundaries, “All of The Moon’s creations need help from time to time. There’s no shame in it.” I let out a deep breath, but luckily my overbearing mate allowed

    My reasons for insisting I be taken home directly to Mountaintop after my mates made me come, were not entirely selfish. While I preferred to be in my own bed, off packlands filled with wolves, against the advice of Raven and Grey that it was unwise for me to leave the healing cabin so soon, I also could sense the rising tension between my Alpha mates. Roam was stubborn as a mule, he refused to leave my side, and while him and I did not see eye to eye on practically everything, his lingering presence on Timberlands was causing problems. I did not want him hurt because of me, sure he was strong and all, but even he could not defeat a whole wolf pack on his own. He had come here to the land of his sworn enemies to save me. And I owed it to him to make sure he stepped off these lands in one piece. Roam had invoked the law of parley once he had crossed into this territory. It had granted him safety until Moonrise even though the council had refused to hear him speak before them. I doubte

    I was sweating buckets, felt the urge to vomit, wanted to cry, and I did not think I could make it a step further when I reached Grey’s dark pickup truck outside the healing cabin. Though both my mates could smell my pain and hear the fast thrum of my heart and labored breathing, they let me do it on my own, even my overbearing mate who didn’t always like to take no for an answer. They sensed my need to do it on my own two feet. Maybe we were making progress after all. On the bumps and twists back to Mountaintop, I was on the verge of breaking down and asking for the good drugs, my pride be dammed. I didn’t see what I had left to lose at this point as both the males in the vehicle with me had already seen me at my worst and lowest. Grey kept asking me every ten point seven seconds if I was doing alright and he gave me worried glances in the rearview mirror. Roam studied me squirming on the seat next to him trying without much success to get comfortable. I didn’t remember these roads

    Of my two mates, Grey seemed to be the quickest learner, while Roam seemed to see through my bullshit quicker. Perhaps that was because the dark wolf was more like me than I cared to admit, a liar skilled in deception and half-truths whom the salt of this Earth had grinded down until only hard edges were left. I figured the grey wolf was quicker to understand my needs and boundaries because he had a heart and was a more empathetic being overall. Both of them had their uses to me currently, and when they no longer served their purposes, I would sever these mating bonds between us and send them packing from my land.But as it stood now, with me being weak as a kitten, and smack dab in the middle of a brewing pack war surrounding The Moon-crossed mates, I had to tolerate these Alphas and let them play their roles. This was going to play out in ways that likely ended in blood, and so long as it wasn’t mine, I was good with that. But even as my mind thought such harsh things, my heart was

    In the end, I was spared from further embarrassment of having Rand and Lily watch Grey carry me into my house because the she-wolf pulled her mate off towards the diner to get some food. Lily and me’s bond and girl sync was deepening. She sensed my pain and exhaustion, and the need for me to be alone with my mates, without me having to verbalize it. I owed her. I owed them both. I owed more people than I liked, and I hated having unpaid debts. I hated needing help.But there was little I could do about that currently, as my knees felt like wobbly gelatinous sticks that wouldn’t carry me very far. Instead, I gave the Alpha of Timberlands what I hoped was a seductive smile and batted my lashes at him.“Does the offer still stand of a strapping, hunk of a man to carry this damsel in distress to her lodgings for the night?”He looked over his shoulder and around the yard, before his grey eyes locked on me with a grin, “Oh, you meant me? Why I would be honored ma’am. Allow me.”“You are fa

    A burst of rage-fueled adrenaline coursed through my veins, giving me a second wind. I used my burst of strength to push myself off the tree, to stand tall, before I grabbed the shovel and began to dig furiously. Dirt and bits of roots and moss flung through the air as I took my frustrations out on the Earth. I would not greet the dark alpha like an obedient little mate eagerly awaiting his return. We would face each other as enemies, and he would stay on his side of the mountain or face the consequences. Grey was smart enough to get out of my way. The younger alpha decided to face his enemy on equal footing, wolf to wolf, as he merged with his animal once more. The human part of me had too much to say to the brute to shift, and my communication while in my fur would not be adequate unless he set foot onto my land. Then my literal claws and teeth would come out and I would show him no mercy.It did not take wolf senses to know when the dark one prowled near the boundary. The heavy ma

    My eyes, the color of a muddy river like that of my father’s, locked onto the Alpha’s, not backing down, the challenge there, daring him to take it. I steeled my spine and my nerves, and I did not even let my wolf come through, because I had the power inside me, and I did not need to flash her rage, her pain, to let my mate know I was a dangerous predator not to be messed with.“Get out of my way, Grey. Or I will make you.”My voice had stayed calm and was more deadly than had it been dripping with aggression. Like a snake, waiting and watching for the need to strike.He let out a breath that sounded painful to exhale, “At least let me help you then.”So, his pack could suffer the consequences. Even the sting of his betrayal was not enough to let me agree to allow him to antagonize his enemy by disrespecting their dead. Wolves of Rocky’s status among the pack were sent off with honor to their place in the sky to spend eternity near their creator. It would be a grave insult to the crea

    I stayed in that cabin with my she-wolf and her mate no matter how it turned my stomach and I had to choke down the vomit. No matter how my eyes stung while my mask cracked, I had to shut them a time or two to keep from screaming. The sound of that bone drill burrowing into my beta’s skull and Lily’s cries would haunt me for the rest of my life. I forced myself to bear it because I was their Luna, and my discomfort did not matter. What I wanted or needed no longer mattered. The scent of Rand’s blood was still heavy in the air, even after the healer and his mate had washed him clean again and had disposed of the bloody towels and crimson colored water. A clean bandage shrouded his head, and soon more joined along his bruised and broken body. Raven even stitched the worst wounds closed to help them heal faster. I wondered if I would always smell his wolfblood in here from now on as if it had soaked into the wood permanently. After Raven had cleaned and gathered her supplies, gave the

    Grey did not argue, though he looked torn wanting to help, while the females carried the young beta inside the hunting cabin as gently as possible. Rand did not cry out in pain, which was not a good thing, he was limp and blood spattered in our arms. We laid him atop the bed, not giving a damn about staining the sheets. I could hear my mate pacing outside, though he respected my orders and did not set foot inside. Me slamming the door roughly behind us, gave the wolf the hint as well, that he was not welcomed. The Alpha of Timberlands would be off my land entirely soon enough, which was for the best because at the moment, I felt particularly violent towards him, now that the initial sting of hurt was waning, the rage was coming through strong. The only male I wanted to hurt more than Grey right now, was that fucking brute who I fully intended to get my pound of flesh from. The dark wolf was nothing but a lying bastard whom I had been a fool to trust his word. Animals had no honor. R

    As soon as my Alpha mate’s boots hit the dirt, he rushed to me, his keen grey eyes assessing me from head to toe. I could see the rush of emotions that crossed his handsome face, worry, fear, anger, sympathy, regret, guilt. His hands gripped my shoulders gently to still me for a more intense inspection as I was shaking and jittery like I had just drunk ten energy drinks. When he noticed my torn-up arm, the scent of an enemy wolf still clinging to my skin, then his sister, bloody and dazed, holding onto her blood spattered and still mate, his wolf slipped through as he growled. I knew Grey’s aggression was not aimed at me. His eyes blazed when they landed on the dead wolf, naked, and minus a skull, with most of his brain matter, tainting my land.“I’m going to bury him in fucking silver chains,” he snarled, “and then I’m going to challenge his oath breaking, lying son of a bitch Alpha! A wolf with no honor has no place on this Earth!”My heart bashed into my ribs for an entirely differ

    The massive hell-beast closed the gap between my fallen beta, his loyal mate, and I, in only a few leaps. My she-wolf howled in anguish at not protecting her mate or her Luna. Tears of physical pain no longer soaked my cheeks, now replaced by tears of regret and failure, of helplessness. I did not cry tears for myself in what was likely my last seconds of life.His dark form was upon me before I could even fire off another round. Before I could try and connect to the Earth beneath me and drawl strength to help fight this monster from under the mountain. My other regrets flashed before my eyes as time seemed to slow. I had never even told Grey I loved him. Or told Roam I did not always like him, but I did not hate him.I had not spoken to my cousin Jeanette in over a week and would never meet her boyfriend. I had not visited my paternal grandparent’s in their nursing home when I could have made that drive in six hours or flown in, in the two years it’d been since my bastard uncles had

    I knew that I covered more ground quicker in my wolf form, and I could even carry the shotgun in my mouth, but I was not ready to shift just yet. I dashed through the trees like a mad woman, pushing back branches with ease, and navigating roots that would have tripped me up in the past, but with my wolf simmering at the surface, she led me her coordination, some of her agile speed, her heightened senses. And kick ass night vision. I should have been letting her out more all along.There was the slim chance it was a nomadic wolf who had crossed onto my packlands, still thinking it was neutral ground. But I had remarked all the boundaries of my territory only a few days ago with my scent, and unless the wolf was truly feral, or old and senile, or had no sense of smell, it was not an accident this male had trespassed onto my land. And when I got closer to his earthy scent, and I caught traces of sulfur from his fur, I knew exactly where the bastard had come from. The wolves from the cave

    I thanked Monique for staying over, and she was just glad I had not been murdered. That was her actual words to me, because I had never been late to my shift before, and she too, liked to listen to true crime podcasts to help her unwind at night. Her imagination had been getting the best of her, and she had already been putting together a list of likely suspects in her head. Top of the list was a creepy once regular who had tried to stalk me post a hookup two years back, after I had made it clear there’d be no repeat performance.I laughed at that one, because I had forgotten about him, last thing I knew he had steered clear of me and Mountaintop after I threatened to tell his fiancée. And after I showed him my shot gun. I had questionable morals, but fucking men with wives or girlfriends, had never been my thing. Had I known about said fiancée before I let him fuck me in his truck after my shift, I would have chosen another dick to ride instead. After I had already been stalked and h

    With my mates close by, their familiar earthy scents like an aphrodisiac that made me wet between the knees, I let out a contented sigh. I was sprawled out between my Alphas, naked and unbothered, staring up at the night sky, the stars had also come back out after the storm, and it was now the witching hour. “Holy shit!” I shot up like the forest bed had overheated beneath me, “I’m late for work.” Grey was on my left, and he sat up as I did. His thick hair was messy, though I was not the cause of it this time. Traces of moisture still adorned his tight body and tempted me greatly to follow the trails with my tongue. I shook off my lust, though it was not easy to do, and got to my feet. Roam remained spread out arrogantly on the grass, hands behind his rain kissed hair, his proud cock jutting out without shame. “Take the night off Rabbit. Besides I have yet to punish you for your disobedience, Luna.” That wicked glint in my dark mate’s eye promised that I would likely enjoy his pun
