"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
Thank you for reading! Hope you are enjoying the story <3
"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
Julian climbed on the bed with my arms and legs still wrapped around him, laying me back on the comforter gently. I moaned as the pressure of his body came down over me and I felt his hardened shaft through the material of his pants pressing against my core. His hands roamed my naked body, pulling and twisting my nipples until they were stiffened peaks, dropping kisses along the sensitive skin of my throat. My hips thrusted up, pushing myself firmer into his hard body as my fingers began nibbling unbuttoning his shirt, I got halfway down before I slipped my hands inside the material groaning in frustration when instead of the heated skin I wanted, my fingertips instead brushed against more fabric, this time of the undershirt. "Julian, one of us is severely overdressed." I moaned into the side of his neck as my teeth nipped at the sensitive flesh of his throat, he tasted salty and I didn't particularly find it unap
Within minutes there was a knock at my door, and after tightening the sash holding my robe closed, I went to see who had gotten up here so fast. I was a little surprised to see a man around 6’4” standing there, and an exceedingly handsome one at that, with black hair that was a bit to long to stay in style properly, bright blue eyes, and a five o’clock shadow covering his strong jaw. His eyes grew wide as he took in my blood-soaked appearance while my own narrowed at him suspiciously. “You don’t look like a healer…” I trailed off, cocking an eyebrow at him in question of his presence at my door. “Oh, umm, no, no I’m not.” He cleared his throat before flashing me a polite smile and holding a hand out for me to shake. “Garrett Breland.” “Oh, Alpha Garrett, nice to meet you.” Returning his smile, I placed my hand in his. “Evangeline Dark, you’re welcome to come in?” I told him
“She’s been out for over eight hours, healer, are you sure what you did was healing?” Growled a familiar voice, cutting through the darkness I was floating in. “You saw her shoulder yourself, it’s been healed, and I gave her a unit of blood as well to help restore what she lost. Now it’s up to her body to heal enough to wake up. I did all I could do.” Another voice grumbled back, but his tone told a different story then his words, instead hinting that he was worried. “The competition starts in an hour, and knowing Eva the way I do, she’s going to want to watch every fight.” That was Fenris, the growling and the grumbling belonging to my slightly overprotective brother. “You wolves are so blood thirsty.” Whispered the healer, Blake, that was his name… I felt cold hands on my skin as gentle fingers probed the spot on my neck where I remembered I had been bitten last night. My hand snapped up t
“Alpha Jackson will go on to the final round.” The Alpha who was overseeing the competition shouted over the hollers of the other wolves present, and it seemed everyone had showed up for the event, even those not participating. I guess there was a bit of fascination around the idea of a new Alpha being crowned tomorrow. We had been here all-day watching fight after fight. Most were called when one opponent begged off, others were only ended when the loser was pulled from the ring, unconscious, and rushed to the infirmary. “Damn, I was hoping that fucker would get his ass handed to him!” Fenris growled, watching as Alpha Jackson was slapped on the back by his Beta and handed a water. “Me too, but it’s fine, I can take Jackson, I know I can.” I answered confidently, though with each of Jackson’s fights that I watched, I became a little less sure. He was big, strong, and fast, one or two of those combinations was enou
As I was walking through the lobby of the hotel on my way to the dungeons to confront Julian, I ran into Fenris and Lila arguing. “What do you mean he’s your ‘mate’?” Fenris practically shouted, followed by Lila shushing him and glancing around anxiously. “Damn Fenris, keep your voice down, I haven’t told him yet.” Lila whispered back, though in a hotel full of werewolves, whispering was a bit redundant, we all had super hearing. “He doesn’t know? How is that possible?” “Because he’s a human, he may have a bit of Fae in him, but he’s still human, he doesn’t have the same signs we do.” “You found your mate Lila? That’s great!” I exclaimed, surprising both of them as I walked up to join their little huddle. “I take it its Blake after the way you acted last night and the small bit of your conversation I overheard.” “Eva! Oh my Goddess, I am so happy
“What do you plan to do with him?” Lila asked as the elevator doors slid open on the basement floor of the hotel. “I plan on asking questions, the punishment will depend on the answers I get.” I answered honestly. I could not get the incident with Julian out of my head all day. What he had done made no sense, and I had a theory that someone had told him to. But who? The elevator doors opened into a short hallway that dead ended at a large iron door with a security guard on either side. Both were watching us as we stepped off the elevator and made our way down the hall. The younger of the two stepped forward and help up a hand for us to halt. “That’s far enough, no one gets in or out with out Alpha Garrett’s permission.” He practically yelled, though we were only about eight feet away, his voice echoed off the walls irritating all our ears. Wolf hearing was not a joke. “I am Beta Evangeline, o
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
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
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
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
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
“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
Electricitywas sparkingthroughme, shooting from his fingertips into my blood stream. I half expectedhimtojump back, running from me ashealways did. I became determinedtoenjoy every bit ofhimthat he was willingtogive.Except, he didn't pullaway. His hands slid down, cupping my ass and pulling me up, instinctively my legswrappedaround his hips, my arms holding on tighttohis neck, graspinghim
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
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
