We sat by the lake, drying off in the late afternoon sunshine. Tate had headed into the cabin next to the lake to grab some towels. So it hadn’t been an abandoned cabin as I had first thought. Though in a busy pack like this, and going off how he described his times at the lake and how popular the lake is, it wouldn't make sense for it to be abandoned, I guess.

I had taken the occasional sly glance at how chiselled this guy was. He was like he was sculpted out of rock or something. But I dared not let my eyes linger for too long in case he saw me, as that was not something I wanted to be explaining to him, nor did I want teasing for.

“So you lived with Della since your parents died, I guess?” Tate asked. “She seems a sweet old lady.”

Ha, she would get him for calling him that. She hated being called old. Though in truth I guess that is exactly what she was now. It is never nice having to admit it to yourself, I would assume though.

“Yeah. And she is far from being a sweet old lady. Sh

    I stood to the side and discreetly observed as Violet got herself dressed again. Taking in the curves of her body as she covered them back up with her clothes. Odyn, my wolf, had been loving having time with her, though was getting grumpy as he wanted to mark her. Completely disregarding the fact she had yet to shift, and didn’t even have her wolf yet, let alone know we were her mate.I had been having an internal dispute with him, at the same time as trying to chat with Violet, which was far from being an easy thing to do. Sharing headspace with a grumpy bastard of a wolf who thinks he has the right of control and the right to dictate what goes on can be sheer hell. Especially when he is on edge. In the end, I had to push him back so I could barely feel him. No doubt I would regret it later, but I could not risk him pushing forward and taking control and trying anything with Violet, especially not trying to mark her.It would terrify the poor girl. She saw me as a friend and nothing

    We came to the edge of the trees and walked onto the footpath. The silence has been comfortable, I have to say, as we wandered back through the trees. I occasionally glanced to Tate and he had a glazed look across his face, so I can only assume he was daydreaming, or off in his mind thinking about other things. But that was fine with me because it meant he wasn’t on my case.I know he means well, but I just like my space, like to be alone. I don’t see what the big issue is with that.“Vi?” Tate’s voice suddenly pipes up from behind me, making me jump.I stopped and turned my head to look at him. “Hmm?” I acknowledge him.“Alpha mindlinked me, asking if we could drop by his office, we ok to head there now if that’s ok?” he says, his voice has an edge of anxiousness to it, but also tenderness. Very weird, I can’t put my finger on it.“Well, if Alpha asked, I am guessing I have to, right? That’s how it works, no?” I joke.He smiles, a half smile and nods. He doesn’t seem himself. Maybe I

    Hearing my girl say her Aunt was all she had, and hearing her sob was breaking me. I pulled her to my chest once more. Feeling the need to reassure her, console her, be there for her, the pull to do this was so strong. The way a mate should be. She may not know it yet, but I do. My wolf does. We need to act like a mate and do the things a mate does. I knew she would feel her Aunt was all she left. In her mind, that was true. I want her to know that isn't the case anymore.She has me, she can have everything she wants and needs with me. I will be the family and love she craves, that she needs. Yet she doesn't know it. Not yet, anyway. I have to act like a friend. Not able to even tell her. And that is so hard. Stupid rules. She needs to know she isn't going to be alone. There is no worse feeling than feeling alone.“Shhh Vi, you have me” I said in a whisper, before realising I had even said it. Dammit! I didn’t mean to say that! It just slipped out. I gently kiss her head.‘Tate!’ I he

    I was sitting, still wrapped in a tight embrace of Tate’s arms, taking in the fact that Aunt Della had passed away. I was vaguely listening to what Alpha Lachlan was saying, in between my sobs. It was quite a sweet way to think about it, really that she felt at peace enough to pass knowing or feeling I was safe here, even if I was unsure of that myself. As much as I hate the thought that she hung on, possibly in pain, simply to take care of me.But what is this about a mate? his words suddenly registered in my mind. I try to focus on them. I don’t have a mate. Do I?“What?” I ask.“I know you haven’t done all your lessons yet, Violet, far from it, so you don’t know all there is to know about mates and how you would recognise the signs, but as your Alpha I can sense these things and I know your mate is here. I believe that fate brought you to our pack to make sure you would not be alone Hunni.” Lachlan tells me.I feel Tate’s arms sag slightly by my side. Is he disappointed at the thou

    Watching my girl walk from the office, her heart so clearly in pieces and me unable to do anything to help was so difficult. All I could do was hold her while she sobbed. Odyn had been forward, there with me, trying to comfort our mate. His heart felt as broken as mine, not able to heal our mate’s pain. I wanted to tell her it was us, that I was her mate when she had asked who her mate was.I had hoped Lachlan was going to tell her, when he said her mate was here. But he found a way around it and I felt my whole body sag in disappointment. I thought he might help me. I was so desperate for her to know. I need to be there for her.“T, you ok?” Lachlan says from behind me. I turn to see him watching me, no doubt having watched me standing watching Violet leaving.“Not really. I want to help her Lach. She was broken.” I tell him.“I know dude, but you know we are meant to let the wolves find their mate, let them sense them. Old rules and folklore of the pack and all. Her and her wolf nee

    I sit in the car waiting for Violet and Tate, having spoken to the hospital once more. They are happy for Violet to visit and say her goodbyes to her Aunt. This girl was as frustrating as hell earlier, but right now she needed our support. She had lost the only family she had left. The woman that had brought her up when everyone else had deserted her.As an Alpha and a werewolf, I do not understand the mentality of her father’s family. A wolf is a pack animal, therefore a werewolf thinks in much the same way. Family is of huge importance, so the fact she had an extended family out there that had all deserted her when she needed them most infuriates me. That is not how we as werewolves should act. It makes no sense. I know her father acted badly, but this girl had no part in that, she was still of their blood, their kin. She needed them. Her father was gone. Yet they all turned their backs on her. It was disgusting.She should have been brought up in a pack, surrounded by others like h

    Lachlan and Tate kept talking as we drove. We have been driving for a while now. They are telling me about arranging the funeral, I think. Something I had not even thought of yet. But I guess that would be my responsibility as Aunt Della had nobody left. I don’t even know how to sort out a funeral. I don’t even want to have to sort out a funeral.I want to sit in silence, just watch the scenery fly by, let my mind switch off, but the two guys keep trying to start conversations with me. I know they are being kind. Maybe trying to distract me. But my brain is not focusing. Everything is still so much of a blur. I am on the way to see the body of my Aunt. The woman who had brought me up. I feel tears prickling in my eyes.I felt a hand on my knee, squeezing it reassuringly. That same weird static shock there he seems charged with all the time. He must be full of static electricity or something. Maybe it’s a werewolf thing? I would normally feel bothered by someone I barely know touching

    I watched the Dr open the door for us. My heart is pounding so much I swear I can feel it in my head. I have never seen a dead body before. My Mum and Dad had died at the scene of our crash but I was unconscious, so I had never had to see them. And then remained in hospital afterwards. I can feel myself shaking. But feel Tate squeeze my hand.I take a deep breath. I need to do this. I want to do this. I want to say goodbye. Aunt Della deserves that. I slowly walked into the room. Following in the footsteps of the Dr.“I will leave you alone, Violet. Please come and find me if you have any questions. I will be at the Drs station.” The Dr says stepping quietly back out of the room.I walk the remaining steps to the bed. Still not daring to look. The dimmed lighting in the room makes the room feel serene and peaceful. Though right now those are the last things my body is feeling.Tate gently gently releases my hand. “I will stand just here if you need me. But if you want privacy please t

    Dear Diary… Well, how can life change in the space of a year? By a crazy amount when you learn your parents lied. Or perhaps not so much lied but kept secrets from you. Secrets do nothing but make life difficult. Make life twisted and they hurt when they are finally revealed. But the secrets in the end brought me the happiness and life I was meant to have. Could the secrets have been part of the fate that led me here? Who knows? Having learned the things I have about being a werewolf, and how the beliefs are, fate plays a big part in our lives. Perhaps the path my life took was all a part of fate's plan... A path that brought me to the Autumn Moon Pack. To Tate. The handsome, mysterious Beta. The sweetest, kindest man I had ever met, that I was able to call mine. All because of a goddess I had never heard of until I learned of my heritage as a werewolf, blessing him as my fated mate. My fated mate. My love. My future. And now the father to the little one I am carrying inside my

    I wake up wrapped in the warm embrace of Tate. His head is resting on my shoulder. “Good morning beautiful” he whispers. I found myself chuckling. “Good morning to you too” I whispered back. “You know I am going to have to get you up and out of bed shortly for your training.” He says with a sigh. “Euurrgghh!” I grumbled. “But the bed is so warm and comfy!” Training has been going on almost each day since we returned to pack six months ago. Lachlan was relentless. Though I can’t blame him, Azaria was just as unrelenting too in her necessity for me to refine these gifts of mine and in her need to make me as strong as she could, both physically and mentally. “Oh. You mean you don’t want to stay in bed because of your handsome mate?” Tate huffs, flipping himself, so he was suddenly on all fours, leaning over me. I find myself smirking at his playfulness. We had most definitely refined our relationship and our gifts… “Perhaps I was just coming to that…” I teased,

    The doctor leads us into Damien’s room. He is not looking good. Though what would I know? I am not a doctor. But he looks like he is at death’s door. And it scares me. But he is in the right place. Tate had told me this hospital had some good doctors, and I am sure Lachlan would do what he could to make sure he got the best care possible. Pierce led the rest of the family into the room. All looking equally shocked by the state of my grandfather. I doubt the doctors would allow us all to stay in here together for long before trying to throw us out. “What has the doctor said?” Adam asks, I am surprised he is here, expecting him to be with his son, though I can only assume his mate is there, as I have not seen here since we arrived. Lachlan looks up from where he was standing by the side of the bed, his grandfather not having moved since we walked in here. His eyes not having moved from his brother in the bed. “The doctor said he is stable now. Though he is badly injured. He

    I watch her. Doing whatever it was she was doing. Speaking as someone else through her body? She is unreal. How did she manage that? Her eyes shifted, to a deeper blue. She looked like she was from another world for those few moments she spoke. An aura radiating off her that gave that otherworldly glow. The voice coming from her was unrecognizable to me. But the look on my grandfather’s face changed instantly. Color draining from his skin. Eyes wide open as he looked at her, and I could see tears in his eyes. ‘What the fuck?’ I mindlink Tate. ‘Not a clue. I thought Azaria was going to talk, she can do that like most of us can. But that is not her voice. That voice is not Azaria's. I do not know who that is.’ Tate says, yet his eyes have not left his mate. He looked fearful for her, not knowing what to expect. All these gifts are new to us. We don’t know how she will be with them. During them, or after them. What effect they could have on her. But Azaria clearly felt the

    I stood watching Lachlan walking away from me. My skin turning cold hearing my brother’s name echoing through my mind. How can they seriously expect me to want to help him? He killed our mother. Kidnapped her. Then tortured her to the point of her death. No. Have they lost their damn minds? I look to Pierce. His eyes are dark, but he is watching me. A sad smile on his face. He knew of this? I find myself struggling to speak. No. Have they lost their damn minds? I can hear voices surrounding me, but they are not registering in my mind. This is madness. This made no sense. They had brought my brother back here. To the pack we had him exiled from. What the hell was Lachlan thinking? Was he even fit to be an Alpha of our great pack? Does he not know what this man was capable of? Suddenly, a hand is on my shoulder, snapping out of my angry mind wandering. I realize there are many more unfamiliar faces surrounding me now. Unfamiliar. But yet they have a hint of familiarit

    I stand waiting within the pack hospital as requested by my grandson. Things seem so hectic in the pack. My son dashing off here and there. I hate being old and not quite so able to help anymore. That used to be part of the role of Alpha I loved the most, the drama… the action. And I have to say it was something I missed as I got older, as I handed down the role to my son. Lachlan’s call was unclear. The signal was not good, and the reasoning behind him wanting me at the hospital was not quite explained. He just asked me to be here, saying I would be the best candidate for a blood donor if needed. I am not going to decline that, if somebody needs my help, it is there, no matter how old I am. I may feel like an old and decrepit man most days, but if I am still capable of helping, if it is needed, then I will be there. I may not be able to do much as a former Alpha and I miss that role and all that came with it, but if I can help, then they could rely on me. I had got here as quic

    I watch as they drive away with my grandfather in the back of the truck. Fear is filling me. He looked dead. I was pushing toward him, trying to get to him, wanting to try to heal him. But Tate was mindlinking me, telling me to stand back, to not try this for the first time on him, not to risk his life further when I am not sure of what I am doing. Lachlan is taking charge. The voices are just a blur to me. I hear Adam saying that my grandfather’s wolf is dead. How can that be? He has been suffering, and nobody seemed to know other than his son. How much pain had this man had to endure? “Violet, come on now, we need to go.” Tate is leading me to a waiting car. I can only assume we are heading back to Autumn Moon. Azaria seems to have retreated once more. She is meant to be a gifted wolf yet seems to spend most of her time hiding in the outer edges of my mind. Though my lack of experience of how to deal with her maybe doesn’t help. My body was in a daze. Nothing around me reg

    I feel my wolf pushing through and shifting once more, my body adjusting and altering of its own accord, turning into Rye, the dark gray form of my wolf. He seems to have pushed me right to the back. I can sense his anger. I don’t know what happens, but he is suddenly moving toward the two wolves still fighting alongside us, and before I know it, and because they are so engrossed in attacking one another, Rye pounces… Bringing his jaw down on the neck of the Alpha, clamping his teeth into the neck and sinking them in before twisting. The Alpha realizes what is happening and tries to fight back, but the grip Rye has is too tight and the way in which the Alpha is moving is only making the situation worse for himself, as I hear a galling snap as his neck breaks, and he falls from the grip of Rye before Lachlans’s wolf takes him and attacks him once more, making sure he is dead. Aggressively dropping him to the floor once he is done with him, before his human form is suddenly pu

    I check on little Alfie. He is still snoozing, his little eyes tightly shut as he is swaddled in his blankets tightly to protect him from the outside elements, as well as having been in the protective embrace of his parents as we have alternated in carrying him since leaving the hospital. He has slept so soundly since we left, and I am glad. Hopefully, he will stay that way until we reach this new pack. I did not expect all of this, but deep down I have to say I am glad. Our pack never offered us much, and the hospital did not have much in the way of options for our little one. We feared we would lose him. Hopefully, our new pack may be able to give us hope for a future for me and my family. My mate and our little one. The pain of losing our firstborn tore us down, but we worked through it and decided to try again. We were overjoyed to discover we were expecting another pup. Our beautiful child.
