Jax meandered back to the hall. He was in no mood to be a part of the festivities now that Amelia had left but he had to stay until the end. It was expected of him as the Second.

He’d barely entered the hall when Stephanie, the fiery redhead, was at his side.

“What do you want now?” he asked not even trying to act interested in a conversation with her. He’d been watching her throw herself at every Beta to try and find a mate. Something that she would never get right with him. Straight after she tried with Blake.

“Can’t I just come over to say ‘Hi’ again? Is it such a crime?” she fluttered her eyes at him and he had to stop himself from doing an eye-roll. She was so fake and he saw straight through it.

“I don’t have time for idle chit-chat. Especially after the stunt you pulled earlier. I would prefer it if you didn’t touch me as you had earlier. It is unnecessary and embarrassing for you. You know how I feel about you. There will never be an ‘us’, so please remember that,” said Jax

    “Any news about the Staint Claire pack?” Asked Conner, Alpha of the Olden pack. “No Alpha, nothing to report yet. Their compound is shut tighter than ever before,” reported Christian, Connor’s Second. “We need to find a way in. They must have a weakness that we can exploit. This is really starting to piss me off!” Connor’s fits of anger made the windows in his cabin reverberate. “We’re trying out best, Alpha. We’re sending out our best Scouts but they come back with no news at all.” Christian hated giving Connor bad news. He knew that it would make Connor all riled up and riddle him with anger. “Then I’m going out there myself!” Shouted Connor, as he rose from his chair, pushing it so hard that it slammed into the cabin wall, “if you want something done right then you clearly have to do it yourself!” His face was blood red with anger. He had been waiting for so long for his Scouts to one day come back with good news. But nothing. They always came back empty-handed. Half of the pac

    Connor was headstrong and put together the strongest hunting pack that he could. He obviously included Christian, his best Beta, as well as Pierce, his Second. The pack was stacked with their strongest wolves, but Pierce knew that they were no match for Blake’s. He just had to find a way of making sure that he didn’t get killed in the bloodbath that he was sure would ensue.Connor stayed at the compound. It was too risky for the Alpha to be out for in case a war began. Losing an Alpha would be catastrophic. There was no talking Connor out of the attack, Pierce tried but failed. They were going through with this attack come hell or high water. Connor was an Alpha on a mission.Pierce braced himself and left the camp with Connor, knowing what was waiting for them. Knowing that they were walking into a death trap.***Blake’s Hunters were readying themselves for a daily run. They patrolled the area around the compound at least twice a day and this was their morning run. They didn’t exp

    The Olden pack limped into their compound. Battered and bruised. The poor first and second line went straight to their Salutary cabin. Pierce and Christian were immediately summoned to Connor’s cabin. “What the hell happened out there?” Asked Connor, his face as red as a beetroot. To say that he was angry would be an understatement. “How could we have lost to them yet again? Did you guys even try? I find it impossible that they beat us every single time we meet their Hunters. They aren’t made of rock, surely you did some harm to them?” Connor was out for blood and he wanted answers. “Our first and second line put up as best a fight as they could, Alpha.” Said Pierce, but he knew that he was going to get a tongue-lashing in any case. He always did. “Please tell me that we at least wounded some of their Hunters?” Asked Connor, as he hoped for a favorable answer. He ground his teeth waiting for the response. “No, Alpha, they were far too strong and outnumbered us three to one,” said

    Blake’s Hunters came back with huge grins on their faces. “And what are those smiles all about?” Asked Jax as he exited Blake’s cabin, just in time to witness the Hunters arrive back to the compound. “Oh, do we have a story for you and our Alpha!” Said the leader of the Hunters. He and Jax made their way back into Blake's office. Jax was eager to hear the news. Blake sat at his desk pouring over maps of the forest and the various compounds. He liked to know where his enemies were at all times. He liked to be ready in case he needed to attack. He looked up to see a wicked grin on both Jax's and the lead Hunter’s faces. “And what are those grins all about? What happened out there” Asked Blake with a smile on his face. Blake sat back down in his chair and waited to hear all about the morning run. He was dying to know what had happened. The happy faces of Jax and the Hunter leader had him intrigued. “You’ll never guess who we met in the forest on our run today?” Said the leader. He

    Blake looked up from his desk where he was signing business documents. “Yes, I’ve called you here for a very important reason.” Blake sat forward at his desk with his hands steepled in front of him. “As you are aware by now, we have a new member in the pack, Amelia. I’m not sure if you know her story?” “Yes, Alpha. I heard that she’d been bitten by a Rogue while out at the stream in the forest. How scary that must have been for her. I know that she feels all alone and seems to keep away from everyone else except her mother, Jax, and Catherine, one of our Salutaries which she’s befriended.” Chloe made it her mission to always know what was going on in the pack and who was locking heads with who. “She is going to be a special case. Yes, she has been bitten but we’re still not sure if she’ll turn. By the looks of how fast her would is healing, I think there is a good chance that she’s already turning. I’ve noticed a change in her appearance as well. She is looking much stronger than wh

    Day three of Amelia’s stay at the compound was her first sparring lesson with Chloe.Amelia awoke to the sound of pups playing just outside their cabin. She loved hearing them play-fight and giggle. It always lightened her heart.“So, today’s the big day,” said Lucia as Amelia sat down at the breakfast table, “today your training begins.” Lucia was happy for Amelia. She was also shocked that Blake had given her her own mentor. Chloe was the best you could find and Lucia felt that Amelia was in good hands.“Yes, today is the big day…” answered Amelia and Lucia could see that something wasn’t right with her daughter. She didn’t seem excited at all. She seemed apprehensive and unsure of herself.“What’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling well?” Lucia tried to pry the reason for Amelia’s mood out of her but got no response.Amelia eventually threw her head into her hands and sobbed.Lucia was at her daughter’s side within a second. “What is going on, Amelia? You need to talk to me.”Amelia simply

    Amelia had been gone from the human world for a few days now and was due for a shift at the library. She had already called to cancel two shifts and she didn’t want to lose her job. The job didn’t pay much, but it was her way of independence. Amelia woke up, got dressed, and kissed her mother on the cheek before leaving the compound to get to work on time, she hated hurrying. She had to admit that she was a bit afraid to walk through the forest by herself, thoughts of her attack were still fresh in her mind, but she wouldn’t let anyone else know about it. She’d hate for them to see her as a weakling. ‘The little pup who’s too afraid’. She squared her shoulders and entered the forest…praying all the way. On clearing the forest Amelia looked down to make sure that her shoes were clean from the loose grass and wiped the front of her dress down, just to make sure it too was clean and presentable. Amelia’s mouth watered as she walked past the town bakery. Mrs. Brown sure knew how to ba

    Amelia slowly turned around to face the front door of the library and watched him stalk inside, straight toward her. His smell got stronger the closer he got. It reminded her of the day that he was a wolf and stalked her in the forest. Only this time was worse for she knew what he was. A monster. How had he known where to find her? It must have been her Jasmine scent, damn wolves with their heightened scent. He was in human form, but the stench of him would never leave her mind. Nothing about that day would. He walked toward her with a sly grin on his face. “Well well well, here we meet again.” Amelia wanted to smack the smirk off of his face, but there were people around so she needed to control her emotions. It wasn’t the time or place for that now, but Amelia wished that she’d one day be able to scare him as he scared her. “What do you want?” whispered Amelia as she looked around to make sure that no one else had noticed him enter. Even though she smelt him, no one else would ha

    The first three days of their holiday flew by and it saddened them both. They had, however, done so many excursions and experienced most of what the island had to offer. They’d gone for walks on the beach, shared spa treatments, and bought cocktails on the veranda of the hotel, overlooking the bright blue ocean, a view that they would never get used to as it was like something out of a travel brochure.They’d left their scuba diving until the last day. They wanted it to be the last thing that they remember doing together on their holiday. Something that was high up on Amelia’s bucket list.They boarded their boat and took sail on the beautiful blue ocean. It was so clear that they could see to the bottom sandy bed, where the coral and fish were even more beautiful than they had expected.Amelia sat in the crook of Blake’s arm on the boat, holding his other hand in her lap. She loved being so close to him, smelling his sandalwood scent made her feel safe and calm.The boat stopped at t

    Blake searched for Sly in the crowd and found him speaking animatedly with his hunters, excitement on everyone’s face.“Congrats again,” said Blake as he stopped by Sly’s side and shook his hand, “you really deserve the promotion to Second. The way you lead your men is exemplary and I’m really proud of all of the work that you’ve done. Thank you for always giving it your all, it doesn’t go unnoticed. You are one of my strongest fighters and I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side.”“Thank you, my Alpha,” responded Sly, happy that his Alpha had noticed his work ethic and love for his pack.“I will be going on a business trip and I’ll need you to watch over the pack, please. I leave tomorrow morning and I’ll be gone for four days.” Blake was certain that Sly was up for the job, even though he had just been selected as Second.“Of course, my Alpha, I will watch over the pack with great care. I have already selected a 2IC in the hunter’s team, so that is all sorted out for the morning and

    Blake was sitting in his office chair looking out of his window, watching the people and cars go by when an idea popped into his head.He needed to take Amelia away somewhere. Somewhere special, but it needed to be a surprise. She was so good at sniffing out surprises that he had to be extra sneaky about it. He would have to disguise it as a business trip stating that he needed her there to take minutes as he would be having many meetings. He only hoped that she would fall for it. All that he wanted was to spend some alone time with her. Without the entire pack watching their every move.Blake called their travel agent. “Hi, Celeste,” he greeted as she answered the phone. “I would like your assistance in booking a trip, please. I need two tickets for The Maldives. It will be for both Amelia Brighton and myself. We will be leaving tomorrow morning if possible please.”Celeste looked online and made the booking for Blake, business class of course. “All set Mr Saint Claire. You leave at

    Lucia and her team were finished decorating the hall and, feeling satisfied with the results, she walked to the entrance hall and called Blake in to come and inspect their work.He was blown away by the final product. He had seen it earlier but had not imagined that it would turn out this marvelous. His eyes roved the hall taking in every little detail, every little bit of care that Lucia had put into her work.“Thank you to you and your team, Lucia. You have really ensured that this celebration will be a worthy one and for that, I am extremely grateful.” Blake was one who easily gave out compliments when they were earned. And as far as he was concerned, Lucia had earned hers. She had worked magic with barely enough time and Blake knew that no one else would have been able to achieve what she had.The hall looked like a forest clearing. Lucia had brought in trees, rocks, etc. Everything needed to reenact the scenery needed. She’d done such an amazing job that Blake felt as if he was i

    Lucia and her team were feverishly busy with putting together the final arrangements for the special event of naming the new Second.Blake had kept hush-hush about who his selected Beta was. Only the Elders knew, not even Amelia. And he thought it best to keep it that way. He didn’t want it to get out and for everyone to know before the actual reveal.Blake walked around the compound. He had been checking on the training of the Omegas, Deltas, and Betas. Something he loved to do because he wanted to be prepared when he needed to select new Deltas or Betas. He needed to know who was fairing well and who was not. He also liked to be ‘seen’ by his pack. Not just locked up in his cabin, dealing with pack business.Jax used to be one of the trainers and it saddened Blake when he walked around the compound and didn’t see his face. Jax had become such a strong pillar of the pack that things just didn’t seem the same without him and Blake doubted that it ever would.Blake popped into the hall

    Amelia walked silently back to the compound with Blake, still shocked over what had just happened.Had she really been kidnapped and then saved? All in the span of a few hours.How did it all happen so fast?Shock kicked in and Amelia began to shake. Blake took hold of her hand and tried his best to calm her down by rubbing his thumb along the back of her hand, but he could feel that he was having little effect as she shook all the way back to the compound.Blake thanked his men for their hard work. Sent some to the Salutaries to be checked out and the others to their cabins to rest.Blake, however, took Amelia straight back to his cabin to try to calm her down.Blake sat her down in the chair and, holding her hands, knelt in front of her.“I thought I’d lost you,” said Blake with a sadness in his eyes that she’d never seen before.“I thought I was going to die. Stephanie has threatened my life so many times that I thought today might just be the day that she got her wish. I shudder t

    The car picked Blake and Amelia up and they headed off to the office.Blake looked so handsome in his black suit, black hair, and black eyes. Amelia couldn’t help but want to be in his arms that very moment. She wore a pencil-length black skirt and a lime-green shirt which once again showed off her beautiful eyes.“You look like a knock-out,” commented Blake as she entered the car, “I’m not sure that I want the other men at the office seeing you like this.” He joked and Amelia couldn’t help but giggle. She loved his sense of humor.“I’m not sure that I want the other Secretaries to see you looking so sexy in your tailored suit,” winked Amelia, and Blake’s smile almost reached his ears. They made such an attractive couple that it was sickening.Amelia settled in at her desk and began typing up some contracts when her landline rang. It was the receptionist from downstairs.“Hello, Amelia speaking,” answered Amelia, thinking that it was reception letting her know that a guest had arrived

    “Hello, Connor,” greeted Stephanie as she ever so slowly entered his cabin, rubbing herself against him on purpose as she passed him by. She smelt his pheromones heighten and knew that she would have her way that evening. He didn’t stand a chance against her and her deviousness.“You look dead sexy,” said Connor as he eyed her from head to toe and then back up again.“Thank you, I know,” answered Stephanie in the most sultry voice she could muster.“Join me at the table,” said Connor as he made a sweeping movement with his hand and she walked over to the table.Connor joined her after closing the cabin door and trying to pull himself together. He pulled out her chair for her and while standing behind her could see that her dress was backless and along with the smell of her Lavender scent it drove him wild.He gently stroked his fingers over her back as he made his way around to his side of the table. He in turn had given her gooseflesh and it was evident by her peaking breasts. Conno

    They drove back to the compound in silence.Amelia sat with her hands next to her legs, holding the seat, not knowing what else to do with her hands. Blake did the same.They were both dumbstruck by what had just happened.Blake’s hand slid over Amelia’s and she didn’t make to pull hers away. They drove home like that, looking at one another every now and then, but not a word spoken.Amelia asked, Just before they reached the compound, “was there even a client?”“No,” answered Blake honestly as he looked at Amelia in a new light. In a way as if to claim her for his own.“Then why did you say there was one?” asked Amelia as she bit her bottom lip.Seeing her do that turned Blake on and he could barely contain himself from kissing her again. “I just wanted an excuse to be alone with you. That’s all. And please don’t bite your lip like that…it does things to me…”His honesty hit home with Amelia and she smiled. “You could have just asked and I would have said yes to spending alone time w
