The group of young up-and-coming warriors in front of me groaned as they stood once more and faced their partner’s, getting back into their first stance.
“Remember! Legs braced apart, but not too far or you’ll be an easy take down.” I pointed to a boy in the back with long blue hair pulled back into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. “Yes, I am talking about you Shrouder!” The rest of the teenagers laughed but sobered quickly, getting in stance.
“First position!” I hollered. Walking around and in between the young wolves, watching them carefully, calculating their every move. “Nice stance Leena.” I said as I passed a particularly young girl with her pink hair in pigtails. Her face lit up with a smile at the praise.
“Second position!” I yelled, watching as they shifted towards each other. “Good. Third position and swing into fourth!” The pre-teens moved at each ot

Drowning in Her Darkness Living On: Part 2
I spent the next 7 days with Neil and Galden. Doing all the things I never got to do with them. We went to the beach, ran through a field of wildflowers, danced naked in a river, and even just sat around cuddling and watching movies for hours. It was my heaven on Earth, and I never wanted to give it up. But like all good things, it had to come to an end. As the doctor began the process of waking me up, I had clung to Galden and Neil, begging them not to go. I did not want to lose them again, but they were calm and just smiled sadly back at me, brushing my hair with their hands, and kissing my forehead and cheeks. "You will be fine Wolfy. No tears now, you already got more time with us then you would have. Be thankful of what we have had." Galden had said softly, pulling my face up to meet his and placing a sweet, loving kiss on my lips, before wiping the tears from my face

"Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly?" I asked quietly, watching as the clouds and birds floated across the blue sky above us. A bird was the first animal noise I had heard when Sapphire had broken us out of my in-ground prison, I had been fascinated with them since, but had fallen in love with them the moment I learned that they could fly. Could you imagine? Being able to fly away from your problems? Never having to look back. "Except your pain is in you, you can't fly away from that." My inner voice, Sapphire, whispered to me, and of course she was right. But right or not, I push her back down, shoving her observations away, and becoming what the world now sees me as. The Dark Beta of Dark Forest pack. A little on the nose if I do say so myself, but I did not give myself the nickname. "I imagine when we run, the air flying through our fur, it's similar to flying." Link answered thoughtfully from the

Julien was at the front door when we walked up, already holding it open for the two of us to slip through. As we passed Lila smiled at him, but his eyes were trained on me. He bowed his head slightly in respect, a sexy smirk on his lips. "Lila, Beta." When we had passed him and walked into the lobby Julien followed us in, staying a distance behind us as we made our way to the check in desk where the rest of our pack members waited for us. Lila moved her head closer to mine and whispered softly "Hottie bodyguard has a thing for you. You jumped him yet?" I rolled my eyes, Lila's mind was sex 24/7, and it drove her crazy that I still had not engaged in that particular activity. Not that I was avoiding it, but as Beta I had no time to socialize outside of training and I refused to form such a relationship with anyone I was training. "You refuse to form a relationship with anyone period. Besides the Alpha and his fa

"Adora?" A voice filled my mind. But that was impossible, the only time someone could mind-link me was when I initiated the connection. "Adora? It's you, isn't it? I can see the shock on your face. You're Adora!" I blinked my eyes and shook my head in confusion. Registering Lila walking up beside me did not even draw my full attention. Instead, I turned and stared at Alaric again. This time my wide eyes met an even wider gaze. "I knew it! No one can look that much like another person and not be related!" Alaric stated triumphantly, you would think he just uncovered the mystery of the century. "Wait, what?" Fenris asked in confusion, completely unsure as to what was going on now. "What do you mean?" "She can hear me through mind link, only pack members can do that." Alaric said confidently, his eyes flicking to Fenris as he answered his question before looking straight back

“You.” That was all I managed to breath out before Julien's lips were crushing down on my own, his fingers thrust into my hair and wound around my head, holding me there for his excitingly bruising kiss. When he pulled back to feather kisses down my jaw and neck I gasped for air, shuddering at the rush of heat his touch sent through my body. My eyelids fluttered closed, head rolled back, giving him perfect access to the sensitive skin of my throat, each kiss pulling a soft moan from my parted lips. His hands left my hair and I growled softly at the loss of contact, but he chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my hips and ass, pulling me tighter to him. "Don't worry Beta, I won't stop unless you ask me." He whispered against my lips before tasting them again, his tongue slipped along the seam and I opened my mouth welcoming the intrusion, my own tongue flicking forward to duel. My legs wrapped around his waist on i

"We can't continue to sit back and do nothing! We must stand and fight, and this can’t be done by any one pack, we need to band together!” Alpha Lee stood before the summit council slamming his fist on the large round table we were all sitting at, each leader that came to the summit got a seat at the colossal wooden table while supporting pack members were stationed behind them sitting and listening. Alpha Henry had been clear that I was representing him at this summit, there for Fenris stood behind me, listening and tapping me on the shoulder when he wanted to link and discuss a certain topic. Thankfully being left from the table did not make him bitter. We had been in here for half the day already and so far, the Alpha's and Betas were split 50/50, half wanting to come together and take Genesis down once and for all, half in agreement that it was up to the individual packs to protect themselves. "You only t

"Fenris, what the hell do I do?" I mind linked him, stepping back from the Alpha's whose stares were all centered on me. Being just a powerful she-wolf was enough to make me a viable non-fated mate to most Alphas, add in a claim to the second most powerful pack in the world and I knew many here would attempt to get their hands on me at any cost. "Run Evangeline, we got your back!" Fenris shouted through link, seconds before he, Julien, Lila, and Link surrounded me. I looked down at Alaric, my command had worn off and he was now standing, staring around him, clearly not having expected what was about to happen. "You idiot." I said to him with disdain, his eyes snapped to mine, and I saw regret shinning there. "I'll be lucky to get out of this alive, much less unmated against my will!" "I didn't mean to, I didn't think-” Alaric’s voice sounded nervous in my mind as he look

"Self-entitled royal fucking pricks is what they are! Just because they got that extra pound of flesh hanging between their legs, they think they run the entire fucking world. Well I have a news flash for them! You're going to beat their ass’s and make a stand for all women." Lila was ranting, pacing back and forth in our room as she fumed at the audacity of the drama that had unfolded downstairs. "Being a little generous there don't ya think?" I chuckled, grinning at her as she turned and looked at me like I was crazy. "What? What are you even talking about Eva?" She asked in exasperation as she threw her hands on her hips and stared at me, waiting for my answer. "You said pound of flesh, I feel like that's a little generous. Most of those men have Napoleon complexes and every one of them are over 6ft, so it stands to reason something else may be short instead." I answered, keeping a straight face as Lila's jaw dr

Drowning in Her Darkness Valen
Walking to the practice fields was awkward. I guess I was still a bit of a spectacle. The human in the werewolf world, mated to their fearless leader. I could see it in their eyes as I walked past, they didn’t think I was worthy of being here, much less of a higher rank. Keeping my head held high, I refused to show any weakness. As we neared a sign that signaled training field C, I looked among the warriors currently sparing, hoping for a glimpse of Eva. I saw her bright blonde hair flash in the sunlight before disappearing behind another body and made a line straight for her. Getting closer I realized the reason I hadn’t really seen her for more then a flash was because she was sparing. But her opponent was more than double her size. My heart stopped for a moment when he swung a large fist at her head, all I saw was a concussion and the considerable damage that would come from the man’s hammer of a fist ramming into her sku
Drowning in Her Darkness Understanding: Valen
After my talk with Blake, I wasn't feeling great about my original theory. I had to be careful with my questions, trying my best to make sure I didn't say anythingthatwould raise suspicions. In all, Blake didn't believethatwerewolves abilities could be replicated. Which meant I was back at square one.I needed to find Eva. My anger at her betrayal had not extinguished but I needed answer as to how my life was going to go now. When I'd be allowed to call and ask about Alexandria and find out how my patients were doing from Michele.There were to many uncertainties in my life right now.From Blakes clinic rooms, my guards and I made our way back down to the kitchens and dining hall, I didn't think I'd find Eva still there, but it wa
Drowning in Her Darkness The Problems Are Stacking Up
Slamming the door to my office I talked to my desk and grasped the edge trying to calm my anger, which was proving hard. "I had to do it." Sapphireargued through my mind, again. She had been apologizing since we'd been thrown from the room by our very angry mate. Our rightfully pissed the F-off mate. "Don't!" I yelled, digging my fingers into the desk until the wood gave way and crumbled in my hands. "Outof my head, now." I growled at my wolf, for the first time since Sapphire found me in that darkness, I wanted her gone. "Fine, but I did this for us, Eva. For us all. You, me, Valen, the pack. Our species."She whispered, disappearing from my consciousness immediately after. My wolf had destroyed the barest bit of trust I had managed to build with Valen. Set us back to the beginning, and I was not ready to forgive her at the moment. Tears of frustration pricked at the corners
Drowning in Her Darkness Valen
Pain sliced through the pleasure pulsating through my body, though oddly the sensation melded into one, a pleasure sogreatit became painful. As I came down from my orgasm, I realized my shoulder painfully pulsating. When I pulled back something about Eva was different. Her eyes, they were glowing.I pushed away from her, shifting to my knees when I saw the small trickle of blood on her lip, sliding slowly down her chin. The set of her face was different as well, her brows drawn together, her lips pressed together, as if she were expecting an outburst and ready to take the heat without complaint. As if she knew she had done something wrong.The pain pulled my attention and raising a hand to shoulder I felt hot, sticky wetness pulling my fingers back I was surprised at the splash of color across them. I was bleeding, and if the blood
Drowning in Her Darkness Betrayal
His hand slid between my thighs, finding my sensitive clit, and gently pinching it between his deft fingers before rubbing small, lazy circles around the bud. My body arched into his, soaking in the heat of his embrace.His lips brushed along my neck, trailing down, over my collar bone and along the slope of my breast. Valen made his way down my body, fanning the flames of my desire with every kiss and caress, until his lips were kissing the sensitive skin of my belly just above where his fingers worked to drive me higher.When his lips replaced his fingers, I nearly came off the bed, sparks of sensation feeling as if he’d taken an electrical current to my most sensitive parts. I wasn’t sure how long I laid there, my fingers dug into his hair, my hips bucking into his face as he lapped up every drop of honey my body produced.When my orgasm built, he refused to listen to my urgings for him to join me, instead
Drowning in Her Darkness To Burn
“Yes, I could use a little help I think.” Honestly, I was shocked the words came out so sure, I half expected to have to force my lips to move and form them.“I’m here with a little extra courage.” Sapphire piped in, almost causing me to chuckle.“Horny wolf.”“Always, especially for… all of that.” I knew by the way she purred she was referring to our very delicious looking mate.Valen stopped at the edge of the tub and grabbed a wash towel, before climbing in. The water rose, threatening to spill over the edge. A part of me wanted to raise my hands to cover my breasts, but between the bubbles and my hair I felt I was covered well enough. And really… did I want to be covered from his view? Isn’t naked with him exactly what I wanted?“Dunk your head under the water, I’ll he

Drowning in Her Darkness Fanning the Flames
When we were done questioning Genesis warrior, Alaric and I checked in on the big bad wolf himself, only to find him still knocked out from the silver and wolfsbane that was used to keep him sedated for the trip here. This worked for me though, I wanted to check on Valen. As I neared the door to my private rooms, I confronted the warriors standing guard at the door. “Did he give you any trouble?” I asked. The exchanged an odd look before shaking their head no in unison. “Not at all.” The one of the left said, followed closely by the one on the right. “He came with us to the safe room easily.” I felt that they were hiding something, but I wasn’t exceedingly worried about it at the moment and waved them away, telling them to get something to eat. My eyes scanned the room in panic when I found it empty, as I moved to call after he guards to come back and find him, I heard
Drowning in Her Darkness The Prisoner
When we reached the pack house Alaric, and I followed the guards carrying Genesis to the dungeons. We’d decided we would check in with Genesis’s scout while waiting for the big bad wolf himself to wake up. Walking into the dungeons was almost like walking into another world. It was dark and the smell of mildew assaulted your senses the moment you opened the door. As I stepped into the blackness at the entry to the bellow ground hell hole, I felt my heart skip a beat and my breathing pick up. Everything about it reminded me of that hole. Of my own personal prison for the vast majority of my life. Alaric was holding the door open and glanced back at me in confusion when I didn’t automatically step through. Leaning closer he lowered his voice, watching me curiously. “Alpha, is everything okay?” After taking a deep breath to help steady my racing heart I nodded and stepped into the dark. Alaric moved to turn on the swi
