JAELASquinting at the light peeking through the curtain. Rubbing my eyes to clear the sleep from them. Slowly my gaze hovered over the man laying next to me, his arms wrapped loosely around my naked body.Who would have thought this would be my reality again. I’d be lying if I said I expected to be back in his arms again. Though we promised ourselves to move on, this feeling feels right. Aiyana purred in agreement.This is what we needed all along, to forget about our duties, our packs. All I need is him, still the unknown scares the daylight out of me. Will he change his mind? Will he leave me like the last time? Would I survive if he does?I wouldn’t survive it, a fact I’d bank on. After opening my heart to him again, chances are I’d be lost. The Moon Goddess wouldn’t have given him to me for us not to work. I have to believe that there’s more to us than letting each other go. I’m willing to take the leap into the unknown, hopefully it's worth it. Tristen’s murmuring halted the t
JAELA Tristen held me around my waist, his face buried in my neck as we emerged from my room. My childish giggles giving me a stitch in my side. “Well, someone definitely had fun” Skylar said from where he was sitting, he winked his eyes at us. “Yeah, the first, second, and 5th time since last night” Mia said in irritation. Skylar pulled her to sit across his lap, laying a soft kiss behind her ear. “What is your problem this morning Mia, didn’t get any?” Maya snorted. Ignoring her completely, she snapped back at us. “Let’s be clear you little whore! these suites are soundproof, not so much the rooms inside them! Keep that in mind tonight” Mia sneered. “Good Goddess you are such a grouch this morning.” I said pointing an accusing finger at her. Mia shrugged her shoulders still scowling at me. Just then someone knocked on the suite’s door. Mya, Mia and I both jumped to our feet, throwing curious looks at each other. The boys stayed seated without worry. I really don’t want a figh
TRISTEN Leave and dont come back Ever! You hear me? Dont ever come back here again Tristen! 5 YEARS LATER... Those were the last words she said to me before our lives went adrift. The hurt was written all over her face. She was broken. I broke her, if i'm being honest both of us will be broken forever. We will feel it until the day we die. Breaking a mate bond, It shouldnt never happen to anyone. The pain in that moment shook me to my core, still lingers under my skin. A void in my soul that cant be replaced or filled. I feel it everyday and it doesnt get easier. When I close my eyes, I can still see her eyes full of tears and disappointment. I've resigned myself to the fact, this is how it will be. Me hating myself for what I've dont to her, What I have done to us. I'm expected to accept a bond with a chosen mate, one of which I have no inclination to deal with. I cannot look at the woman without feeling excruiciating pain in my chest of the one I really want. My proposed int
TRISTEN "Still thinking about the one that got away huh?" Bree asked, she sauntered into the kitchen. The door swinging closed behind her. "Huh" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. Only people that knew of my mate was Skylar, my father and the elders. Not that it was a secret, but it damn sure wasn't any of her business. She won, she's going to be the new Luna of this pack and she should be grateful. "Dont deny it Tristen, I've known about her for a while. Did you forget my father is one of your dad's oldest friends? For the last two years I've watched you pine for her, want her in ways I want you to want me" Her expression dulled, crinkling in saddness. I looked away from her, Not willing to watch her pine for me. It wasnt anything against her personally, any woman that I'd choose would'nt be enough for me. Out the corner of my eye, I could see her look of disgust, covering the longing to have me to her self and the jealousy coursing in her. Bree is a beautiful woman, there's
JAELA ‘What were you thinking? Why did you let this happen? We fought so hard to be normal after he rejected us why did you give in’? I asked my wolf. ‘Don’t blame me, you were the one kissing him. Besides, It's my nature to want my mate, you think It's easy to just push them away’ Aiyana replied sadly. Ugh I hate when she’s right, I can’t place all the blame on her. Part of me gave into the feral need to have him. My body went into overdrive just smelling his scent, I thought I’d never have the oppurtunity to experience that cedar-wood and lemongrass scent again. Surely, it’s the reason I lost my mind and went horny she wolf on him, right? Who am I kidding, missing him has been a part of me for so long, giving into him felt like a piece of us came back to me. Feeling his heart hammer in his chest for me sparked a bit of hope inside the hole in my heart, but when he said he didn’t come to my territory of his own free will my hope shattered. Aiyana whimpered in my head that it wasn
TRISTEN It’s been four days since I shared a moment in the woods with Jaela. I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t consumed my dreams since that night. It’s impossible to escape her even if I tried and Skylar doesn’t make it any easier. Every time I see him, he smiles at me or gives subtle hints with his eyes reminding me that he knows what happened between us. I’m honestly considering banning him from this floor. I don’t care that’s his chambers is on the same level. Anyway, I have no time to keep thinking about either of them, the alpha meeting is tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to it. Honestly, I hate every second of those meetings, all the alphas in the northwest and western states have to attend them every six months to discuss rogue attacks, pack event calendars and any other concerns we may have. This will be my fifth meeting since taking over the pack and it hasn’t been easy seeing Alpha Terrance from Mystic Moon. Even before Jaela and I found out we were mates he’s been a l
TRISTEN The room is bustling with omegas cooking and preparing dinner for the night, leaving them to their duties. I made my way through the dining hall only to run into Bree. “Tristen” she says ignoring what I told her the last time about how to address me. realizing her mistake, her eyes widened. “I mean. Alpha Tristen” “What do you want Bree?” I asked, annoyed. “I was wondering if we could have a private dinner tonight, just you and me?” she says batting her eyelashes at me. I had no plans on spending any quality time with the girl, but I can’t keep being an ass to her either. “Fine” not really committed to my answer, but to her apparently was the best thing ever. “Yes! um how about around seven... I will have one of the omegas deliver food to your chambers” she says happily her smile reaching her eyes. “No” I yelled a bit harshly, watching her smile fade into a frown. “I’m not saying no to dinner with you Bree, just not in my chambers. Get the Omegas to set up a tabl
TRISTEN Skylar hasn’t said a word to me since we left the pack grounds. The silence is killing me and its only been an hour since we left. when we loaded the cars this morning, he brushed past me headed to the second vehicle to ride with Delta’s. That wouldn’t do, it was only right that the Alpha and beta rode together, there couldn’t be any dissension shown to other packs no matter how pissed he may be with me. So long story short I made him ride with me, but that just pissed him off more apparently. Sneaking a glance his way he focused all his attention out the window. The radio and road was the only sounds being heard inside the car as we drove. “So, you going to sulk all day” I asked breaking the silence. forcing his eyes to the scenery outside, he said nothing. Light poles and guard rails more interesting to him at this point. With a loud sigh I gripped the steering wheel, the leather straining under my fingertips. “Come on sky say something, it’s going to be a long ride.” I p

SKYLARI grabbed the vase from the coffee table and threw it at him. “SCORE!!” Tristen yelled, throwing his hands in the air. The vase hit X square on the side of the head. losing his battle with gravity he fell falling into the side table.Here’s my chance. Using the couch as momentum, I jumped off the back end launching myself at him, my weight forcing him down on the ground. Grabbing him around the neck I squeezed him hard shaking him violently.“You’ve been up here this whole-time being Mr. lover boy. What is wrong with you!!” I yelled. He sputtered spit from his lips trying to speak. I didn’t care, I wasn’t going to literally kill him, but it sure felt good though, venting my frustrations out on him.“I’m… sorry but look at… her… she’s … beautiful…I could…not resist” he spoke in a strangled voice with each breath.“Yes, she is, but I want my beautiful twin too you dick” I took the opportunity to hit him hard in the ribs.He grunted.“Skylar, he’s had enough” Tristen chimed in. I
SKYLAR Giggling shewolves pulled my attention to them. A group of woman were standing by the elevator staring intently at me. One of them looked at me with nothing but lust. Her eyes traveling from mine down my body slowly. What the hell is wrong with her…. The light bulb went off in my head, totally forgetting I was buck stark-naked standing there. We aren’t ashamed to be naked around each other, but I had a Lady and only she should be enticed by my junk, I felt nauseous just being ogled by them. Looking at them now did nothing for me. Kylo growled loudly, Their eyes widened before they tucked tail, running away quickly. Chuckling at them, stumbling over each other. I climbed the flight of stairs to my floor, heading to my suite, stepping over drunk pack members. They were partying hard, to the looks of it the party wasn’t dying down anytime soon. Drinks were still being passed around. How many of those bottles did they bring, good Goddess. Whatever, they can party all they want,
SKYLAR What an ass. I headed in the direction of the hotel, not the least bit worried about leaving him. The lights around the hotel were bright as we got closer. Now I have to figure out how I’m getting into the damn place. entering the main lobby in wolf form is strictly prohibited, so the back entrance is. ‘X, please tell me you’re on the first floor.’ ‘Unfortunately, no. Why??’ he asked. ‘I’m trying to get into the hotel and need assistance’ I told him. ‘Why didn’t you come to the main lobby.’ ‘Because I’m in wolf form and I can’t come that way. Plus, if I shift, I will be naked dummy. Send someone to let me in at the back entrance’ I yelled at him. He sighed through the link. ‘I can’t send anyone down, Tristen Commanded everyone to stay on our floors. They were getting unruly at the field, partially my fault by the way. Let me settle everyone and I will be there.’ He explained. ‘So, what the hell am I supposed to do in the meantime jerk!’ I huffed exasperated. ‘Knit a swea
SKYLARKylo ran for about an hour before I decided to head back towards the pack. We definitely didn’t think it through shedding our clothes before taking off. Kylo was so mad when he shifted, I didn’t even think and let his instincts take over. ‘You like being naked anyway, and I for one hate clothes anyway so.’ ‘Not when I’m walking through the woods in human form Kylo.’‘Pfft, like we don’t roll around in the dirt anyway.’‘No, you roll around in wolf form in dirt, I just let you. there is a difference bonehead.’‘Whatever, just get us back I want mate’ he paced anxiously, Missing her scent already. The little bit of her scent was left behind with my tattered clothes back in the field. Admittedly, missing her has already become a part of me. A piece of my heart that was missing, making my heartbeat louder than it ever has. We need her and won’t lose her to anything or anyone. Kylo growled in agreement. He more than anyone needed her the most.I couldn’t wait to get back to her. My
TRISTEN Sky has never acted this way towards me before, He always spoke his mind even yelled at me a few times despite our hierarchy, but this is different. I’d be lying if it didn’t feel like it was my fault. There is so much bad blood between Mystic and Shadow Moon, and nobody really knows why but Terrance and my father. My father never spoke on it and honestly, I want to get to the bottom of what happened. The whole thing isn’t just affecting me now, but my two best friends. After he made me reject Jaela in the first place, the least he could do is be upfront with me now. I am the alpha; he is not in control anymore. My love for my pops will never change, but he almost cost me everything. I tried linking with Skylar again only to hit his mental block. We need to figure out together what we can do. The best thing right now is to let him cool down. The pack was still celebrating our last event for the evening when I walked up to them. They shouted Shadow Moon while shots of liquor
SKYLAR I waited at least ten minutes before leaving the restroom, making sure she had enough time to clear the area before making my way back. On my way back to the field I caught sight of Xavier and Tristen hanging off to the side. The look on both of their faces were serious. Approaching them, their conversation died. “What’s going on?” I asked them. “The last event is tomorrow morning, and we are up against Mystic Moon” Xavier rolled his eyes. “Ok, so what’s the big deal?” I asked. “It’s not a big deal and that isn’t the problem. Our foul mood has another source,” said Tristen. He balled his fist at his sides. “Ok, so what has you two looking like you’re planning a war over here then.” Tristen pressed his fingertips into his temple as if he was getting a headache. “Well, I heard Owen talking to one of their gamma’s that Alpha Terrance may get released early. Aris said Terrance and the other alpha have worked out their differences. They both promised to be on their best behavi
SKYLAR I was leaning against the door of the stall watching her fix her hair in the mirror. Her long brown hair layered over her shoulders; she tossed it a few times in her hands shaking the few tangles I caused from gripping it. She glanced at me in the mirror and smiled, it dissipated as her eyes broke contact with mine. Quickly she pulled the band on her wrist and tied it around her hair putting it back into a tight ponytail. Her change in attitude caught me off guard, the coldness in her expression sent uncertainty in my heart. I thought we had a good time, I’m positive that she enjoyed what we did together. Why the cold shoulder now? I don’t like what I’m feeling from her. Taking a few steps towards her, she stood in front of me. Placing her hands on the sink counter in front of her she avoided my gaze in the mirror. Positioning my chin on her shoulder, I wrapped my arms around her front, pressing her back into my hard chest. “What’s wrong?” I whispered in her ear. She tried sh
