Jeremy-
When I got back from Black Blood, I was a bit relieved. Aria had already found her mate and didn’t want anything to do with me, for which, I was thankful. Jessica had left a letter for me with my butler.
Dear Jeremy,
My Grandmother has fallen ill and my family has gone to visit her for at least a week. We have a visitation pass from Mountain Creek Pack where my Grandparents live. I will miss you greatly and promise to come back as soon as I can.
Always Yours,
Jessica
I roll my eyes selfishly. It would be a whole two weeks before I finally get to see Jessica.
Rose-My stomach was in knots and I didn’t know why. Every time I thought about Jeremy coming for the week, I began to sweat. I guess it was because of all the dreams I seemed to have about him ever since we met that day in the forest. I had no idea why and I would wake up panting, feeling exhilarated and flustered. I found myself thinking about that day all the time and was beginning to get annoyed. The fact that he was the last one to come to my pack was even more frustrating because I wanted to meet him and get it over with. Once I saw what a man-whore he was, I would be disgusted and no longer have these disgusting thoughts about him.
Jeremy-The Gamma leaves her side, cutting through the forest. I see her trip and fall. The rest of the group snickers under their breath and passes right by her. Nobody stops to help. She sits, picking leaves from her hair as I walk towards her, my partner also leaving my side. I feel my breath hitch as she takes my hand and I hoist her up. We walk side by side to finish the trail. “The group doesn’t like you,” I think out loud. I could sense their aura towards their future leader. Detest would be an understatement.
Rose-My body was in pain after sparing with Garrison and then Jeremy. I am still seething that I had to fucking tap. I could’ve won. I could’ve managed somehow to escape his grasp. I can’t believe that I was beat. It wasn’t possible. I blame it on the fucking Alpha aura that cheating bastard used on me. My face heated as I remembered feeling his erection as he pinned me down. It was just like in my dreams. I could swear he smelled my arousal and cursed my stupid body for responding to him that way.
Jeremy-I lay awake in bed, the thought of Rose in her tiny shorts invading my mind. Her porcelain skin stuck out in the dark night like a sore thumb. Her breasts fought against the small tank she wore to remain concealed. Ugh! Didn’t she own any clothes her own size! I turn over to my side as I try to clear my mind and sleep. I had risen in the middle of the night to shower a second time, after sleep had eluded me for hours. I had caught her in the hallway, returning to her room after grabbing a snack from downstairs. My shitty luck to run into her when all I wanted to do is
Rose-We were walking home side by side. Our arms sometimes touching ever so slightly. As we walk, my mind drifts to our match earlier. I had left the house without bothering to wake him, although I kept wondering when he would finally get up. When he met up with us at the 5, I knew he had arrived before I even saw him. I don’t know how, but I could feel him there. When we reached the mats, coach had pulled me aside and said I would be sparing with Jeremy. I put up a front, but deep down, like way deep down, my heart leapt knowing we would be so close to each other. I decided to stretc
Jeremy-I left Rose lying on the floor as I hit showers. I couldn’t understand what had come over her. Sometimes she seemed approachable while the next, she was absolutely aloof. What had changed from last night to this morning? I let the water cool my temperament and wash away my worries. After getting dressed, I waited for Rose outside the gym door so we could walk to her father’s office together. When she finally stepped out, my eyes couldn’t help but wander down her body. She dressed simply, yet professionally. A long-sleeve white button up, tucked into dark bl
Rose-I toss and turn in my bed, not being able to take today’s events out of my mind. This morning I had gotten enraged after hearing Jeremy speaking ill of me to his girlfriend, so angry that I had fought him at training. I still didn’t understand what had come over me, why had that affected me so much? And then just now at dinner, when our butler, Oscar, said he had a phone call. I knew it was her, Jessica. He almost ran out of the dining hall to go answer it. I let a sigh escape my lips as I lay on bed, staring at my ceiling. I actually had..well fun today. Seeing him fall in
Jeremy-By the time me and Rose had finished our match, everyone else was already gone. I found the showers empty when I stepped into a stall and began to adjust the temperature of the water. I heard shuffling behind me and figured it was someone else coming to either shower or dress. I quickly began to wash my hair when the person picked the stall right next to mine. I was a bit annoyed, seeing as there were about twenty empty showers in here and they picked the one right next to mine. I was about to turn to give them a nod of acknowledgment as we usually did, not lingering with eye contact in such a position, when I looked over and realized I had to look down to see who was there. A he
Rose-After the intake of the rest of Blue Moon Pack, we commenced with the pack meeting. I wanted everyone to know what was happening and what would be happening to secure their safety. I would also give everyone options if they wanted to transfer packs. After the trauma they have been through, I would not force anyone to stay here if they truly did not want to. I wanted my pack members to be happy and healthy, in body, mind, and soul.“I know you are uncertain and scared. You are concerned of what will happen with our pack. With your future. And Jeremy and I are here to put your nerves to rest. We will take care of you. We will protect you. Together, we will get through this difficult time and together we will grow stronger, for we cannot move forward without each other. Without you. But, I do not want to keep anyone who is not or does not think they could be happy here. It is hard to cope, living with a constant reminder of what used to be. So, I am offering those who
Rose-I was finally able to leave that wretched place after a few hours of persistence. Belle was being completely unreasonable in wanting to keep me until the evening to give the stitching a few more hours to properly heal the parts of my skin that had been ripped open by Eric’s disgusting beast. I didn’t need the extra time. Kat was doing a fabulous job on her own.Damn right! Kat chimed in.As Jeremy wheeled me through the pack, much to my embarrassment, I was pleased to see that Jeremy had handled the aftermath quite well. There was little to nothing left for me to do. About half way to the pack house, Tyler met us with a clipboard in hand.“Beta, let’s have a rundown of things that still need to be settled,” I commanded.Tyler nodded, flipping through the pages and grabbing the pen from behind his ear.“Jeremy has divided the pack members between those who were willingly with Eric and those only following orders. The ones following orders have been placed on a probation and
Rose-The bright light makes my eyes water as I quickly shift my head away from it. As I bring my hand up to shield my eyes, I notice the needles and tubes sticking out of it. The sudden movement makes my head spin and I feel a wave of dizziness, making me close my eyes again. Am I in the pack clinic? Suddenly, I remember what brought me out of the unconsciousness as I peel my eyes open roughly, searching for those beautiful golden swirls.I feel something heavy around my chest as I take note of the delicious scent of rain and forest that fills the room. The incredible warmth on my back makes me smile and relax as I begin to slowly move my sore body towards my mate. His soft snores make me smile as I reach out to cup his cheek, running my fingers through his scratchy beard. Sparks erupt all over my skin and I bask in the feeling. Jeremy’s eyes blink open before he realizes it is I who caresses his handsome face. A million dollar smile lights up his face as he meets my gaze.
Jeremy-After I prosecuted every prisoner, killing the guilty ones and sending the rest for further judgement, we headed to Blue Moon. The other packs kept their word and aided us in the fight. I left some behind to guard Blood Moon while the others followed me to across the border. Upon entering, there were a group of men walking towards us.“Father,” Tyler calls from beside me, brushing passed me to run into his fathers arms.They pull from the hug, slapping each others arms roughly. Roddy stands before me, a handful of men behind them. They look rather rough, having been in hiding for so long.“Alpha Jeremy,” Roddy says, taking his knee before me, “I pledge my loyalty to you.”The other men follow suit and I stood there with pride filling my chest. I wasn’t used to this, but Petro felt like he was exactly where he was supposed to be.I grasped Roddy’s forearm, “Thank you, Roddy. Now lead me inside. Tell me what’s going on.”He walked me to the pack house, the Blue Moon warr
Jeremy-“M-mark me,” she whispers and my whole world stops.The pain in my stomach evaporated for a split second as her words floated into my ear. My vision had been blurring, but I regained enough consciousness so that I could see her clear as day. The tears streaming down her cheeks made my chest clench, but she was still the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. I never wanted to hurt her and I feel guilty for being the one to make her cry. I didn’t want to leave her, but I could see Petro fading away within me and I knew I was nearing the end. It was getting harder to fight, harder to breathe. I could feel my body growing colder even when Rose climbed on top of me and shared her warmth. It felt so good to just close my eyes, to rest.Marking Rose brought the most euphoric sensation to my body. The sparks ignited all over my body as her scent enveloped me and I inhaled it one last time. Suddenly, a bright light filled my mind and I felt like I was floating. Panic
Garrison-Alpha Jeremy is down! Secure the bunker! Guille rings out in mind-link.No…J. Oh, shit. Rose. My heart drops and I suddenly can’t breathe. This can’t be true. A warm hand slips into mine and I jump, turning my head to meet Belle’s crystal-blue eyes.“I’m sorry,” Belle says, seeing that she frightened me.“I just heard…” she begins as tears fall from her eyes, “Oh, it’s awful, Garry.”Tears stream down her face as I wrap my hand around the back of her head and bring her into my chest. She weeps openly as I attempt to calm her down.“I-If Jeremy’s dead…Will Rose be able to defeat him?” she asks as her bottom lips tremble, her nose and cheeks flushed.“What if..What if they come after us?” she continues when I can’t find the words to say.“Baby, that’s why I’m here. And all these warriors,” I gesture to the men around me, “Alpha Rose was prepared for this.”“She-She’s such a good Alpha. I-I can’t believe this,” she stutters as she buries her face in my shirt.Blue Moon
Rose-What the fuck is happening? One minute Jeremy is close to ending this fight and the next, Eric is transforming into some..some kind of…beast! It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s like literally…a fucking wolf-man. It’s like Eric shifted into his wolf, but it has a man’s body. It’s wolf-face is snarling viciously as a collective gasp rings out among the crowd. Jeremy is just as surprised as me as he looks frozen in shock for a split second before the beast begins swiping at him with it’s enormous claws.“This is cheating! Stop the match!” I yell as loud as I can, forcing my way in front of the line of warriors who are in defensive positions.“Rose, stay back,” Tyler says as he tries to pull me back.I yank my arm away as I enter the field, “Stop the match! This is dark magic!”The Elders begin yelling for Eric and Jeremy to stop, but the next second, Eric’s men begin attacking the warriors. All hell breaks loose as chaos erupts and everyone begins to fight. The
Tyler-Today was the day of the challenge. Things were about to change. We would finally be able to rescue the people of Blue Moon Pack and remove Eric from power. I couldn’t believe it. I was super nervous of course. My best friend would be fighting to the death and if shit hit the fan, we could possibly be facing a war. I knew Eric wouldn’t fight fair, so we had been prepping all week. Black Blood Pack was going to secure their side of the border, while Blood Moon’s warriors would be surrounding the fight. The other allie’s warriors would remain hidden, but would intervene if all hell broke loose. The Council, fortunately for us, chose the location of the fight to be between the two borders, Blood Moon and Blue Moon. Women and children would be put down in the bunkers until after the fight was over, just in case.After kissing Clara for the millionth time and securing the bunker, I headed back outside. I waved off to Garrison, who would be protecting the bunker along with
Rose-I empty the contents of my stomach for like the hundredth morning in a row. This shit was getting old real fucking quick. I brush my teeth and get ready for training. I was really impressed with Jeremy’s progress. I wasn’t lying when I told the Alphas he was more than ready. I knew he could beat Eric, I was just afraid Eric wouldn’t play fair. If he had poisoned his father without anyone’s knowledge, he had to have some kind of help. My hunch said he knew a dark witch. I was afraid that little prick would use magic to cheat.I headed to training running a bit late. I told Jeremy to leave without me because I didn’t want him hearing my cries of agony as I threw up last night’s dinner.When will you tell him? Kat purred anxiously in my mind.After his challenge. We cannot burden his mind with this kind of information right now. He needs to remain focused, I replied as she huffed in response.Jeremy was leading the training today. Him and Tyler were going head-to-head,
