ELLE Doctor Silva was not joking when she said that my heat would be more intense. Kade and I had both thought the regular heat was overwhelming, but it did not even come close to comparing. There was typically time between heat flares where you could rest and recoup. What averaged a couple of hours became anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes. Our entire suite was christened as was my entire body. I had not anticipated how good anal would feel with my mate. Oh, and I won the game but just barely by ten seconds. It was still a win though. Kade said that he had ideas for what the extra bedroom in the apartment could be used for. He would not tell me anything other than it would be a surprise that I would thoroughly enjoy. Snickers sounded from the room as we entered. I snarled at all of them because that was the most that I had any energy for. It might take me years to get back to normal at this rate. I would never do that again if I did not need to for any future heats that would
KADE Our pack had a healthy or unhealthy gambling habit depending on how you looked at it. Gambling kept things interesting. Our biggest bets came every year regarding the Alpha games. I pretended that I was upset that Elle had the crowd’s favor, but I could not be upset because I was really fucking proud of her. Us sparring had been on my mind since she I witnessed how easily she got Dulaney to submit to her. It only intensified when I watched her spar against Gabriel. There was no doubt in my mind that this would be a stimulating experience just like it was for Tyre and Faye to face off. Neither of us took the initial shot when Tanya counted down from three. We circled each other, observing and calculating. Elle’s body was loose without an ounce of tension that I could see. Even her eyes were clear as she looked me over from head to toe. Her eyes veered to the side of me, eyebrows pulling together. All it took was a moment’s hesitation as I fought the urge to look for her to sho
ELLE I wanted to puke when we stepped out onto the stage for the pack meeting. A good majority of the pack was in the audience, and we had to break it to them that there was an upcoming battle which would be upon us shortly. Just like earlier, Kade mentioned that we did not want to be forced to use an Alpha command on them, but there was no other way given how many traitors we had in this pack. Most people looked understanding. Faye assured me that the command would work for everyone in here, so we wasted no time. Sadly, there were three people who stood up when commanded to out themselves. The she-wolves were removed and taken to the cells. ‘Why do you feel disgusted, baby?’ I asked Kade as he watched them leave. ‘They were the hookups I told you about. I really wished I had abstained until I met you. Apparently, they were all crazy bitches.’ I chuckled through the link. ‘They were, but they served a purpose. They were stress relief and nothing else. Now, you have me for every s
KADE We were all thankful when there were no further traitors in the pack. The three she-wolves had supplied Elwyn with information. They would spend a week in the cells before being put on trial. Our pack did not grant leniency when it came to traitors. There were four more girls that Elwyn took advantage of, and Abigail compelled. They all spent time with Elle and agreed to join the support group. It sicked me that this all happened under my watch. It did not matter that Abigail used her gift to stop us from knowing. I still felt responsible because I was the Alpha. If anyone could help those who suffered then it would be my amazing mate. Elle suffered too much in life, but it never once broke her. The entire pack pulled together in order to get ready for Bandore. Stella had been thrilled that Elle chose her to help organize the bunkers. One thing that Elle was great with was finding the right ways to encourage people and to embrace their own strengths. Caiathus and his family c
ELLE Bandore ran at me and hit the energy shield that Taylor Pine created. We had him hidden in the shadows so that he was not a target. “Ouch. That had to hurt,” I said, smirking. Bandore stood up and let out a hellish sound that was a mix between a snarl, growl, and the high-pitched squeal of a cat in heat. The energy shield collapsed as multiple people threw their magic at it. Bandore looked smug as his people advanced. My eyes met Valis’ and gave a slight shake of my head. He stopped where he was and simply watched as Bandore’s group advance on us. None of us moved because we were not in danger of them getting too close. The moment that they crossed an invisible line, their bodies shook from the electricity passing through them. Bandore’s people jumped backwards, and we could see the anger in their eyes. They thought this would be simple. I had no idea what he promised them, but they would not succeed here today. They chose their side, and they chose the wrong one. We had no
KADE It was the hardest thing I ever had to do when I forced myself to stay back as Elle approached Bandore because anything could have happened. The only thing that kept me rooted was the fact that I believed in my mate. I wanted to destroy the bastard for ever looking at her, but it needed to be her. He took from her for years, and she needed to be the one to destroy him and reclaim the control that he had held over her even if she had not been aware of it. I had never met vampires or dragons until they showed up with the bastard. However, they were our allies and helped save our pack. There would have been more injuries and possibly even a death toll if they had not been here. Mystra was serious when there were just minor injuries. Seventeen injuries including Elle’s was a number that we were all happy with. It could have been so much worse, and we had been prepared for it to be. However, there had been one of Dante’s pack members who had been injured severely. One of the vampi
ELLE We spent two days cleaning up after the battle with Bandore and ensuring that everyone was okay. Stella and those who were bunker leaders approached me with the idea of making the bunker leader idea permanent for any future time that they were needed. I loved their initiative and told them that the job was theirs if they would like it. They had not been expecting that, but they were thrilled, nonetheless. Two weeks had passed since the battle, and I was falling into the Luna role easier than I thought I would. The support group met twice a week, but it was growing each time. It started out just for those who had been hurt by the traitors. Once word got around that we had a support group for those who suffered like that then even more people joined in. Kade had not been overexaggerating one bit that there were many sanctuary wolves which came in from abusive situations. Gabriel agreed to work with the males who suffered. It helped to have them split because it allowed the fema
KADE There were praises all around the pack about how blessed our pack was with Elle as Luna. Even some of the she-wolves who had been snobbish towards her because she was my mate changed their tunes when they saw how much she cared about Nightshade. It was not just the pack as a whole but each individual member. She was the catalyst this pack needed to heal from everything that had happened. My amazing mate had an innate ability to see people’s strengths and use those to help them find healing within themselves. She did not try to heal them but helped them learn how to heal themselves. Grandma commented that Elle had found her footing a lot easier than she or my mother did. All of this reminded me why she was the one chosen to fulfill the prophecy. I doubted anybody would be better suited for it than her. “Got to discuss something,” Apollo said hesitantly as he joined us at the training field. Today would begin the tryouts for the games. We were excited to narrow down our picks.
