Crossroads Café 1: Alo
The rain was pouring down like crazy outside. A cold night. An old brown car. A baby crying in the back seat. A woman trying to see the road between the multitude of raindrops. « Where are we? Why is there no light on the road? » Bianca was mumbling to herself. Her eyes seemed to search for something to appear in the darkness. But there was nothing. They had only the screaming wind and the crying rain for only company. « Shhh baby…shhh, I'll find a good place for you and me tonight… don't worry, we will be fine… everything is gonna be alright…» The child's cries stopped almost immediately, soothed by Bianca's voice. « I don't understand, a little café must be somewhere not too far from here…» She stopped her car and grabbed her phone. She could have continued to drive while checking her screen. But, there was no way in hell for her to put the baby in any sort of danger. The GPS seemed to refuse to work. She was getting impatient as the little search arrow was tur
Crossroads Café 2: Crossroads Café
Old Al’ stepped outside his car and opened Bianca’s door. He reached for Rosy and hold the baby in his arms before walking toward the café. Bianca almost jumped out of the car. She was in awe in front of the Crossroads Café. The building was a massive three-story cabin in logwood. You could see that it was well maintained as the white painting was dirt-free. Huge windows decorated with complicated carvings of wolves, vines, stars, and moons. The café had a big sign. It was the silhouette of a black howling wolf with « Crossroad café » written with a bright yellow. She wondered what was the link between a wolf and a crossroads. The logo did not make sense to her. Old Al’ made a sound and she realized that she did not move, too engrossed by the beauty of the café. She joined them as the old man opened the door where a warm atmosphere welcomed them. Bianca got stuck again by the interior. It was everything that she liked. A rustic decoration with massive pieces of wood. A hu
Crossroads Café 3: A place to stay
« What do you mean by a tricky situation Old Al’ » asked worried Bianca. The old man just made a sound with his throat. « It’s late… very late… I think you and Rosy need a good night's sleep. » Bianca nodded briefly « Yes. Is there a place you could show me… no, wait! » She started to check in a panic her jean’s pockets then Alpha’s words finally sunk. I have all her belongings in my pack and she will have to come by herself to have them back. She raised her head and watched Old Al’ and Mat with despair. Old Al’ took a glance at Mat. The young man took Rosy in his arms. « It’s ok Bianca, you can sleep upstairs tonight. There’s a bedroom with a private bathroom. There will be just the two of you though. What do you think? » Bianca was conflicted. These two people kept helping her and she had no way to repay them at the moment. As if he could hear her thoughts, Old Al’ gave a gentle tap on Bianca’s shoulder. « It’s ok… it’s a crazy night and you are a good one. No one i
Crossroads Café 4: got diapers?
« I am his what ? » questioned Bianca. « Geez » Mat let his hands run on his face « Bianca, sorry but it’s late, I am dead tired. You and I really need to take a break. Tomorrow will be crazy. I can assure you that I’ll take the time to explain things to you as soon as possible. Good night beautiful! » And he just got out and closed the door. Bianca was stunned and did not know what to do with the pieces of information he has just given her. « Guess it’s time for me to take a quick shower… A la douche et au lit ! (=Shower and sleep) » She said out loud to herself. She went to the bathroom and was pleased as it contained everything necessary… even a bathtub! She took a quick shower since she was scared that Rosy would wake up and cry. Rosy used to cry every time if she was not next to her. So Bianca always did her best to be right there the second she wakes up. Bianca sat to the bed and took a moment to enjoy seeing Rosy sleeping. She was admiring the ginger hair and the sm
Crossroads Café 5: a rumor
Bianca frowned. «What do you mean by he can’t enter as a human? » Mat gave his hair a good shake « Aiyana, dear sister, I’m sorry but I can’t say anymore. I’m dead tired and the first shuttle will arrive soon. » She nodded and took Bianca’s hand « Let’s prepare first. I’ll try to answer as many questions as possible after our shift. Come, I’ll give you the uniform for the employees here. Don’t worry, it’s just a shirt with the shop’s logo on it. » Bianca saw the fatigue on Mat’s face and decided that it wasn’t the time to nag at him. She followed Aiyana and changed quickly. « I’ll need some clothes for myself. I don’t know how long I’ll stay here. At what time do you think I’ll be able to get out? » « I’m not sure. We don’t care about time here. What do you want to do? Maybe I could help you? I could even lend you some skirts… even if with our height difference, you might end with mini skirts on you. »Aiyana offered. Bianca giggled. « I mean, I need clean underwear too yo
Crossroads Café 6 : French kiss
Her brother shook his head no: « Worry not, I made a deal with him yesterday. You’ll all be alright as long as you don’t get too close to that one. » He answered while showing Bianca with his thumb. . . . The six men frowned then turned towards Bianca. The oldest one had his nose up in the air and seemed to smell her. They all had shocked looks on their face. Bianca had, herself, a surprised look. What is going on right now? Why are they looking at me like that? She thought. One of the guests said to no one « A human … ? Here? In Crossroads Café? » « Well, it is Crossroads Café! The place where every species meet! » Mat said with a huge grin on his face. Ayana gave him the notes where she took the order. « But… if you are telling us not to get close to that one… does that mean that she is… her mate ? » the oldest one said. Bianca was kind of tired to have people talking as if she was not here. She went in front of the old guest and put her right hand i
Crossroads Café 7 : Beta Connor
Bianca happily shook Connor’s hand. I have to memorize his drinking preferences for his next visit here, she thought. As she released his hand, she noted the solemn expression on his face. He looked perplexed and worried. Little did she know, that she put him in danger by touching him at this moment. This innocent and conventional gesture had heavy meaning for a mate’s wolf, almost sinful when it was an unclaimed Luna. Her scent was now on his hand. Connor and his men knew that he took a huge risk by touching the mate of an alpha… worst the mate of Alpha Black, The Mad One. They ended their drinks, chatting about which route they should take. They had other packs to stop by before joining the Luna’s Ceremony. They were hesitating between going straight to the party or going to the other packs first. They knew that whatever they would choose if the Mad One could smell Bianca on one of them, this would mean trouble… and maybe death. They stopped talking as all their ey
Crossroads Café 8 : the night it all started
The night it all started : It was a crazy night. The rain was pouring down, blinding anyone who tried to keep their eyes open under the heavy raindrops. A massive dark figure was lurking. It was making sure everything was safe for his people. It hated the rain as it covered the smell of rogues. Rogues, wolves without a pack. Wolves who sank into madness as they lost any connection to a group. Strangely enough, these lone wolves sometimes got together and had only one goal: attacking others who swore allegiance to an alpha. It hated them and killed them on sight, never trying to hear their pleads. Sometimes, it felt compassion to rogues as he could feel himself drowning into insanity. It knew the time was short, and it knew it had not as much time before his other self would fall into madness, taking his humanity too. It knew his soul was still incomplete, and it was slowly killing him each second breathing without a mate close to him. A

"Magnus," a voice from another time called softly.Black suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, searching in panic for Bianca.They had returned from the Crossroad Café. And, he had spent the rest of the day making sure that his Luna no longer carried the scent of the other Alphas males who had been in the Café. Once tranquilized and fully satisfied, he fell asleep by keeping the body of Bianca firmly against him."Magnus," the voice called again.He leaped to his feet, growling and threatening the mystical voice that echoed around him. He was surprised when he realized he was in the clearing where his pack gathered on full moon nights. His eyebrows furrowed as he saw the Moon Star so close to the Earth. Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with magic.Magnus looked down at his open palms and was surprised to find Wind Tribe patterns on his skin. It was as if an artist had drawn the ancient symbols with silver ink."Magnus," the voice articulated again, this time sou

It was at this moment that the doors of the Crossroad Café opened to let the other Alphas in. The men were impressively large and radiated a strength typical of Alphas. They all bowed slightly to the Mad One and looked disgusted when they saw Augustine. "We demand to see the hybrid, and we demand punishment for the parents who dared to give birth to him," one of them said firmly. Bianca immediately turned her head toward the new group of wolves, her eyes like silver orbs. She raised her finger to them, showing them her wolf's fangs: "Sit down and be quiet, you morons." Magnus smirked. Bianca had just called them "morons," and now he knew the deep contempt she felt for all of them. They all stood up straight. They started walking like disjointed puppets and took their places on a chair around the big table. The Alphas looked at each other in terror, realizing their wolves would not allow them to disobey the order

Bianca gave him a beaming smile and snickered. "What do you think, Ari?" "Who's Elle?" snarled Magnus, displeased to the core that the cub would dare call his Luna so familiarly and worse: they had acquaintances in common that he had no idea about. Off to the side, Augustine straightened up and shot an accusing look at Alo. "Old man, leader of the Wind Tribe, what does this mean?" Old Al raised his hands as a sign of peace, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "That's the primary function of the Crossroad Café, to provide a refuge to rest." Harry jumped on his legs, stumbling and losing his balance as he tried to walk to the stairs. However, when he reached Bianca's level, she grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back, preventing him from moving forward. "Hell no, dumb Ari!" she declared curtly. Everyone present was surprised to see the anger on Bianca's face. She was furious with him and p

Harry found himself on all fours on the ground, crushed by a monstrous force that forced him to submit. He tried to raise his head, but it was as if an invisible, monstrous hand was pressing against his neck. He barely managed to raise his eyes and met the incandescent gaze of the Mad One. In his mind, he could hear the heartbreaking cries of his wolf. The animal part of him bowed to the ground before a colossal black presence. Bianca started to take a step toward the Red Moon Alpha, but Black lifted her with one arm to rest her against his hip. With each additional step Magnus took, Harry felt more and more crushed to the ground. His breathing became labored, and he felt like his lungs and heart were being squeezed by an invisible force. Alpha Black looked down at him, his usual cold, the impassive expression on his face. However, no one could ignore the dull rage emanating from him. He placed a kiss against the temple of his Lu
Crossroads Café 91 : Alpha Harry
As everyone waited for the bacon to cook, the door to the Café opened to reveal Connor, the Red Moon Beta. He bowed respectfully to Alpha Black but couldn't help but grimace in disgust when he saw the Vampire. Black, as usual, ignored him completely. His attention was focused on the upper floor of the café. He didn't understand what was happening but could feel Bianca's euphoria through their soulmate bond. Maska was trying to communicate with Mitexi. However, the she-wolf and the human had created high barriers around their minds. "Many moons since I've seen you, Alpha Harry," Old Al' greeted warmly, recognizing the imposing redhead who had just entered. The Alpha moved closer to them and watched wordlessly as the men gathered around the little girl. He'd been living in seclusion for many moons, and being around many people today made him and his wolf extremely uncomfortable. He'd surprised Connor this morning by telling him he'd be coming to the meeting

Bianca watched nervously outside as Magnus drove their car toward the Crossroad Café. _I'm with you, Bianca. You have nothing to worry about," Mitexi tried to reassure her. _Mate isn't feeling well," Maska grumbled to Magnus. The Alpha took his Luna's hand and intertwined their fingers. "Is it the prospect of meeting the other pack leaders that scares you, Love?" he asked his Luna. Bianca nodded and nervously scratched her thumbnail with the ring and middle fingers of the same hand. "You can talk to me, Love. There's no harm in expressing your fears out loud. It is our honor, Maska and I, to be here to listen to you and reassure you," he continued. "I won't say that you have nothing to fear, but know that I will be by your side throughout the meeting. As much as it disgusts me to have to tell you, the leech... I mean, Augustine will be there too." Bianca smiled slightly and leaned to the side so she could hug th

Luna saw the Alpha's eyes turn their incandescent color. Mitexi, now entirely in control of the human body, straightened up and slid to the ground. Maska grabbed her by the hips, "What are you doing, Mate?" The silver-eyed she-wolf gave him a defiant smile and pushed him backward. "Sit down. Don't move," she ordered him. Bianca had squealed with excitement and was covering her eyes as she hopped up and down on her legs. "Oh yeah! Show him who's boss, Mitexi!" Maska took on a puppy dog look, his bottom lip trembling slightly. "Mate didn't like it when I licked her. Mate is not satisfied." Mitexi laughed, nodding her head no. Then she let her hands slide from his shoulders, down his torso, belly, and thighs, to find herself kneeling in front of him. She began to purr as she helped him undo his pants and pulled out the impressive erection right in front of her face. Maska wide

Black began to kiss Bianca's lips gently. He placed small kisses, pressing more insistently at times and pulling his head back as soon as she sought to deepen the kiss he gave her. Bianca wrinkled her nose and tilted her head to the side. "If you're done, I'm going back to Jane. I couldn't finish my conversation with her the other day." Black merely looked at her, his face perfectly inexpressive. Then he lifted Bianca to come and lay her down against the desk. The young woman suggestively raised her eyebrows and swallowed a small cry when the Alpha spread her legs to come and place himself between them. Black began to stroke the young woman's neck with the bridge of his nose. He began to growl, his voice mixed with Maska's: "Why is my Luna wearing pants today? Mate knows she has to wear a dress in the pack house. Mate must easily remain accessible to us." Bianca gave him a beaming smile and shook her hand
Crossroads Café 87 : official requests
"What does this mean, Duncan?" asked Black, throwing a stack of papers in his Beta's face. Duncan had remained perfectly impassive, too used to his Alpha's mood swings. His only regret today was that he hadn't asked his Luna to join them in the office. "Exactly what the papers say, Alpha Black. The packs are asking to see the hybrid Rosy," the Beta replied calmly, bowing his head. Duncan swallowed hard. His Alpha's lethal energy was growing at a phenomenal rate, and he felt his organs being completely crushed. "Why?" the Alpha grunted as he backed up against his leather chair. "Why what, Alpha?" said Duncan. "Why do they want to meet her? What's in it for them? What need do they have to see a girl's face? Are they challenging me, Duncan? Can't you see how many possibilities lie beneath these seemingly candid requests?" The Alpha's eyes flickered red, showing the wolf's surface presence. _We have given an
