2021-10-05 23:56:43Ari's POV
In the limo, Ani began telling me about all the different people that have been rumored to be making an appearance, even though some of them are already mated. I was kind of curious why mated wolves would be attending, but she explained that because my father is hosting, no one wants to seem like they are being disrespectful by not coming to pay their respects to my father.
“Well, I guess we can use the foyer room as the room mated wolves can congregate and socialize. We really need to keep unmated wolves in the ballroom.” I explain thinking out loud more to myself than to Ani.
“Of course! What a good idea Ari!”
“So tell me more!” I try to snap out of my daze to try to get more excited and not be the buzzkill of the night.
“OH GOSH! Okay so...the juiciest news I have heard today was that Alpha Lucian is coming with his son!”
“Yeah...I remember you saying something about that...” I shout. “Alpha Lucian and my dad dislike each other, to put it mildly! What in the world made Alpha Lucian agree to come? He’s already mated anyways!”
“Well….according to my father…” Ani begins.
“You mean according to your father based on your eavesdropping…”
“Same difference! Anyways...he’s coming to have a private audience with your dad to discuss some issues with pack territory since they border us. My guess is Alpha Lucian wants more territory.” Ani speculated.
“That or he wants to accuse dad of infringing on his pack lands again…” I roll my eyes. “So tell me, why is he bringing his son?”
“Uh, because he is 26 and has NEVER gone to ONE Mates Ball or claiming! It sounds like his dad wants him to hurry up and find his mate so Alpha Lucian can retire. It’s been the talk of the town. Oh and he’s bringing his Beta and his son is bringing at least one friend!”
“Well...the more the merrier I guess…this is sure winding up to be more of a shit show than a ball” I laugh, deciding to pop the top of the champagne bottle on that note. I was going to need a few drinks if I was going to make it through the night.
“Hey, remember what your dad said about the booze Ari…”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know, ‘Don’t drink too much’” I impersonate him, rolling my eyes as I pour us each a glass and begin sipping mine.
She giggled, “Well...do you blame him?”
I laugh, “No! But that time was hardly our fault! You remember!” I defend.
“Oh! You don’t have to tell me!” We clink our glasses together and both sip the bubbling liquid.
“So, what else have you heard?” I implore.
“Well...in total, all five unmated alpha’s and their unmated betas are coming. ALL the alphas will be attending at some point during the week to show their respects. The guest list keeps climbing and the media is having a field day with it all, especially since no one has seen you in at least 2 weeks. Questions and rumors are everywhere!”
“Oh geez....” I roll my eyes finishing my first glass of champagne.
“So...wanna place bets on who you think your mate is going to be?” Ani teases me. I’m actually tempted, but I don’t pay attention to the news, and I don’t read gossip magazines. I don’t have the time and it isn’t like seeing photos of all the eligible mates is going to make my wolf know which one is our mate. Everyone knows you have to be physically around them for your wolf to recognize their scent.
“Tempting Ani, but I think I’ll pass on the bets. I don’t care who my mate is, as long as he loves me. I'll place a bet on whether I think Fen finds his mate this season or not though!” I smirked with a chuckle.
“Oh you know they can’t resist the mate bond and mate pull! They will love you no matter what! The moon goddess is never wrong! And I will TOTALLY take you up on that bet! I have one hundred on him finding his mate and getting a dose of his own medicine!”
"I'll see that bet and raise you fifty that he STILL DOES find his mate!" I laugh loudly with her as I finish another glass. I refilled my glass quickly.
"GAME ON GIRL!" And with that, we clinked our glasses toasting to the bet to solidify it.
“So….who do you think is the hottest? I’m sure you’ve scoured the internet and all the gossip columns to see the latest photos of all the unmated male wolves.” I chuckle.
She downs her champagne at the remark and takes in a deep breath, “GIRL - I don’t know! They’re all hot! My wolf practically drools over them all!” She laughs.
"I really hope the paparazzi isn't bad by the salon this time." I say more to myself than to Ani.
"You know they are! You're the future Alpha Queen of Wolf Nation Ari! What do you expect? They go nutzo over any ranked wolves that leave pack grounds and go into public. They want a glimpse, a morsel, of the life you live in comparison to theirs."
"Ugh! It's not all its cracked up to be! The grass is always greener on the other side! I wish everyone would just leave me ALOOOONE!" I was starting to feel the effects of those glasses of champagne. I was feeling quite pleasant and cheerful now! I guess it's good that I'm in a good mood before facing the camera beasts.

Eternal Wolves Chapter 3 - Ball Ready
We arrived at the spa where our hair appointments were made and the minute we pulled in, the paparazzi began swarming. Humans know of our existence, we just tend to stay within pack territory and if we have to leave our territory to venture into the human areas of the city, we still tend to stick with businesses owned by wolves so we can avoid the paparazzi. Over the years, instead of fearing us as humans used to, at some point, they began to grow infatuated with us. Or at least some humans have. We get stalkers, fanatics that beg us to turn them into wolves, and the paparazzi wanting photos of wolves. The higher the rank of the wolf, the higher the price for the photo. I didn’t even want to know how much humans were paying for photos of me right now, so I wasn’t surprised to see the swarm of them outside the spa we frequent for our hair appointment. The news vans were outside waiting too, to ask me questions and get a glimpse of Ani and me, I’m sure. We jumped out of the li

“Oh, Arianna! My darling! You look absolutely stunning!” My father cooed as I reached the bottom of the stairs with Ani and Alexia. “Ladies, you look lovely as ever.” He complimented Ani and Alexia as well. “Thank you Alpha King Harmon!” They both responded in unison. “Now, I know the night is young and not many have arrived yet, but I don’t want to risk anything going wrong so I have arranged for your cousin to be your escort tonight!” My father explains. “OH DAD REALLY?!” I complain secretly happy it isn’t two guards and it's just my annoying cousin. “Yes. Really. We don’t need a repeat of any of the years past, especially with what is at stake.” He gives me a stern, uncompromising look. I could tell by his tone, there wasn’t anything I could do to avoid this. My cousin was nice to me, but he was also annoying and I HATE appearing to need a man’s assistance. I don’t want to look weak just because I am a woman. “Ugh...fine. When can I ditch h
Last Updated : 2021-10-05Eternal Wolves Chapter 5 - Enjoying the Party
I stayed out on the dance floor most of the night with Ani and Alexia because I realized that as long as I was dancing, Fen stayed away. He wasn’t a good dancer and was currently a little too drunk to do that much movement. The night was going well, but I still hadn’t found my mate. Plenty of guys asked to dance with me, and I was happy to oblige, but at the end of each dance, we both knew we weren’t a match so they politely excused themselves and went on to mingle with others. “I need a drink. I’m sweating!” I tell Ani and Alexia as I leave the dance floor. “Okay girl! Hurry back soon!” Alexia says as she continues dancing to the beat of the song ‘Timber’ by Pitbull. “FINALLY...I was wondering how long it would take you to tire of dancing.” Fen blurts out as he sees me retreat from the dance floor. “C’mon! Let’s go sit by Lane. He’s been saving us seats.” “Okay, I’ll be there in a second. I just need to grab a bottle of water first.” I tell him as I
Last Updated : 2021-10-05Eternal Wolves Chapter 6 - What's that Scent?
Once in the bathroom, I do my business and come out of the stall. I see Alexia standing in front of the mirror touching up her makeup with a glow in her aura that has me curious. “Hey girl...how’s the party going for you?” I ask her. “OH ARIANNA! GUESS WHAT?” She is beaming as she blurts out, “I MET MY MATE!” She squeals, jumping up and down. “Really?! Oh my gosh! I’m so happy for you!” “I know! He’s SOOOO HOT too!” “Well...are you going to keep me in suspense or are you going to tell me who it is?” I implore. “Oh! Sorry...you’re not going to like it…” She gives me a toothy half-smile. “I will love him no matter who he is because he is your mate, Alexia!” “It’s Lane. Fen’s beta.” She states like she is ripping off a band-aid. I stare at her blankly. This means she will have to move to Slick Paw Pack. I won’t get to see her much. It also means she will probably get treated like shit once she gets there because Fe
Last Updated : 2021-10-05Eternal Wolves Chapter 7 - Fen's POV
I just finished getting ready for the Mate’s Ball when a guard let me know my uncle would like to speak with me. On my way to find him, I stopped at the open bar that was already set up in the ballroom for the party and picked up a glass of scotch. I have no intention of finding my mate this season. I’m 26 and for a she-wolf that is old to be finding a mate, but for an alpha male, that was par for the course. Most of us found our mates between the ages of 22-28. I enjoyed my single life. I had plenty of ladies' beds to warm and was never in short supply when I wanted it. My father urged me to find my mate, but I’m just not interested. I know one day that will change, but not today. As I approach my uncle, I realize he is going to ask me to do something I don’t want to do. “Good afternoon King Harmon, how can I help you?” I state sauntering over with my glass of scotch. “Ahh, Fen! So good to see you! I have the noblest of duties for you tonight!” My uncle bell

Fen's POV Ari stayed out on the dance floor most of the night, dancing, meeting, and mingling with men that constantly approached her. She was really sluttin' it up tonight. It looked like she was practically throwing herself at every dude she danced with. Desperate much? Gross. I needed MANY more drinks to watch this more. As time passes, I am getting more and more bored and impatient, but I see her finally heading off the dance floor so I start moving towards her. “FINALLY...I was wondering how long it would take you to tire of dancing.” I blurt out to her, grabbing her by the waist. “C’mon! Let’s go sit by Lane. He’s been saving us seats.” “Okay, I’ll be there in a second. I just need to grab a bottle of water first.” She says to me heading to the bar. I smirk at her and wait for her to get her water before heading to the table I had Lane reserve for us. “Hey Lane! Any hotties I need to make myself comfortable with?” I blurted out n
Last Updated : 2021-10-14Eternal Wolves Chapter 9 - Ares's Arrival
“I expect you to make a good impression.” Alpha Lucian, my father, glared at me as we arrived at the Black Claw packhouse in our limo with two black SUV escort vehicles in front of us and behind us. “Yes, father,” I respond rather blandly. I know he expects me to be on my best behavior, and he expects me to find my mate. I roll my eyes in my mind since I know my father would beat me for actually rolling my eyes at him. We spent the last twenty-four hours traveling to the Black Claw pack from our pack to attend the annual Mates Ball and week-long festivities associated with the ball and claiming. Father committed to attending for the first time since I turned 18 because he is ready to officially retire and wants to try to make some alliances on my behalf before he passes the Alpha title to me, not that I need his help with alliances. More than likely, I’ll end up ending those alliances once I take over since father and I have never seen eye-to-eye on how to run the pa
Last Updated : 2021-10-14Eternal Wolves Chapter 10 - Breakfast
Ares’s POV A rapping noise comes from my bedroom door. I sit up and look at the clock, 6:30 A.M. Who the hell is bothering me so early in the morning? “Master Martin, breakfast will be served at 7 AM sharp,” Sergio stated, waking me from my sleep. I don’t sleep very much or for very long at a time. Sleep is a luxury when you are used to your father bursting through the door stark raving drunk thinking you’ve done something to undermine him ready to beat you into a bloody pulp. I got up rubbing my face going to the bathroom to take a quick shower before going downstairs for breakfast. As I saunter down the stairs, I run into Alec and Alessandro apparently heading to breakfast themselves. “Hey man! How was your sleep last night?” Alec sees me and asks, smiling. “Hey....it was fine as usual. Nothing to write home about, but the bed is pretty comfortable.” I smirk. “Yeah...Alessandro snored like a damn freight train last night. App

Eternal Wolves Eternal Wolves: Their Destiny: Chapter 1 *SNEAK PEAK* - Weary Travelers
Ari’s POV - After my first doctor’s appointment to check on the baby, I was so emotional. Ares was emotional too. We spent the evening alone together, bonding. We needed time to ourselves to feel close and decompress after everything that had happened recently. With this trip to Hawaii nipping at our heels, we felt it important to spend what precious time we had alone together as much as possible before the baby comes and more things get in the way. The next morning, Ani came bursting through our bedroom doors to wake us up. She was overly excited about this trip. We both may be about 2 months pregnant, but that wasn’t slowing her down from attempting to get to the beach and show off that gorgeous figure of hers. She ended up convincing Ares that Alexia needed to come with us to ‘heal’ herself from her rejection. He couldn’t say no when he knew everything Alexia had gone through. She had been moping around the pack house since she rejected Lane and knowing Fen was now dead helped
Eternal Wolves Epilogue - A New Beginning
Ares’s POV The match was challenging, but not too difficult. After Councilmen Horis declared Ari and I the clear winners, the entire council as well as the other alpha’s bowed in submission and swore their fealty and loyalty to us both. It didn’t take long for the media to get word, and thus, the circus monkey’s are at it again, only they are starting to get worse. It was a relief finally ridding the world of that disgrace of an alpha. The fact that he openly admitted to murdering my father was icing on the cake - an added touch to the reasons for his death. His pack will end the horrid practice he was fully taking advantage of and I will send my father’s former beta to go and run the pack up there for the time being until we can find a better solution to managing our new pack territories. Ari has been scared to death of everything that has happened, and I don’t blame her, but I did reassure her multiple times that I would be fine and everything would be okay. I think she can fina
Eternal Wolves Chapter 78 - To The Death
Ari's POV“Baby there’s no rush, we have all the time in the world,” Ares moans as I continue to rock myself up and down on his thick and engorged glorious member inside me.“I don’t care! I need you and I need this NOW!” I moan out as I slam myself down on him harder and harder, feeling myself growing closer and closer. As I get closer to my peak, I feel my emotions are quickly getting away from me and for some reason, as I reach that magical peaking moment, I burst into tears as I cum all over his throbbing shaft inside of me.“OH ARES!!” I cry out, “I can’t lose you! I can’t!”He lifts me up and flips us so he's on top of me now. I feel his nee
Eternal Wolves Chapter 77 - Now We're Getting Somewhere!
We left the diner to go back to the council headquarters where our room for the night is waiting for us. I’m exhausted all the time now, and I can’t wait to put my face into a pillow. We said goodnight to my dad and settled in our room for the rest of the night. As I laid my head on a pillow on the bed, my phone went off. Someone text me, so I rolled over and grabbed my phone from the bedside table. Alexia: I’m going to reject Lane. Me: Really? Are you 100% sure about this? You know I will support you either way. Alexia: I’m sure. I can’t even think about that place. I just can’t. Me
Eternal Wolves Chapter 76 - A Challenge?
Ari’s POV In the council chambers, I see my dad currently in the middle of some big speech to all the alphas and elders. Ares and I stood quietly in a corner until he found his seat at the panel. He led me to his seat, and sat me in his lap, placing a gentle kiss on my temple before smiling and nuzzling his nose into my neck and inhaling my scent. He apparently needed a moment to calm down and relax because as he was inhaling my scent, I felt his whole body instantly relax. That made me feel good - knowing that I had the ability to calm my mate just by him inhaling my scent. As my dad finished his big long speech that I had paid no attention to, I hear the voice of the prick I loath more than anyone else in this world, “Ahh…so glad you could join us Alpha Ares, LUNA Ari! We thought you were too busy playing house to grace u
Eternal Wolves Chapter 75 - A Rip in the Warp
After a while, the witches settled down a bit and actually welcomed us in. We sat down in their main greeting room and one of the mistresses brought tea for everyone. “It’s not much Alpha, but we do pride our coven in our generosity towards those in your territory and pack. We are loyalists after all.” One mistress stated while sipping her tea. Something was bothering me and I knew what it was but I didn’t want to raise any alarms with Ari so I tried to be cautious in how I approached the subject. “What’s wrong?” Ari whispers to me from behind me. “Nothing. I was summoned to the council. I told Trace I couldn’t go right now, obviously.” I whisper back to her as she nods and relaxes back into her seat.
Eternal Wolves Chapter 74 - Always the Worst Timing
Ares’s POV “To what do we owe this pleasure, Alpha?” the coven mother asked in a very husky and labored voice. “We come seeking your wisdom and talents,” I state in a flattering manner in an attempt to make nice with the witches. We may be still in our own pack territory, but we were definitely out of our depth in the middle of a coven of witches, even if they were white witches and friendly with our kind. “What is it that you seek?” “We are in search of answers to help one of our own.” I responded just as vaguely as she was with me. “We are here trying to find answers for a half-breed madam,” Ari interjected. I glared at her
Eternal Wolves Chapter 73 - A Disappearing Act
Ares’s POV After a few more hours of driving into the mountains we finally arrived at the location I knew to be the Sisters of the Moon’s coven headquarters. We had to dip down a side street in the small mountainside town due to the paparazzi that seemed to be accumulating in every area we went. “What are we going to do? They are swarming around that place!” Illyana says in a very concerned voice. “Relax! Throw these on.” I toss back trench coats, sun glasses, and hats to everyone to put on. Sometimes covering up as much of your identity as possible is the only defense. As we hop out of the SUV and begin walking towards the crowd and coven entrance, a photographer notices us. I immediate
Eternal Wolves Chapter 72 - When the Cats Away, the Mice Will Play
As I hop out of my Range Rover, I see that a council elder is standing at the door waiting to greet me. It’s not a very far drive from Slick Paw to the council headquarters. Even though they have a chamber in Black Claw’s palace, their central offices are located about 2 hours away from our pack. It’s located on the edge of 4 pack territories and looks more like a four-story office building than anything else. From the outside and those not a part of the supernatural world, you would never know this is the seat of Wolf Nation, outside of our capital in Black Claw. “Alpha Fen, to what do we owe the pleasure?” Elder Peter smiles, holding his arms out in a greeting. “I’ve come to speak to the council. It won’t take long.” I declare. “They are in session. I will let
