2024-10-29 19:42:56I was still pacing. It had been over an hour now, Ben was talking intently to someone over the phone in the kitchen. I heard him hang up and walk into the lounge. My stride didn't falter and I didn't glance his way.
"Carrie."
I didn't reply.
"Carrie."
I kept going, trying to block his voice out, frantically trying to plan as I paced.
"Carrie!"
His hands were heavy on my shoulders, keeping me in place and forcing me to acknowledge him.
"What!?" I demanded.
"Calm down."

"Dante? How could it possibly be Dante?" I demanded.Ben began pacing in front of us,"It makes sense Carrie. Dante wasn't born into the Gliddian pack. His original pack kicked him out, and he was a rouge until my mother took him in."Ben looked away, his eyes dull as his memory played out in his head."We were twelve at the time."My eyes widened as listened, but thinking back to the fight. It made sense. Dante had been respectful of Ben, but he was far more comfortable around him than the others. Like a brother."As far as I know they kicked him out after his father died. But, but the name of his original pack,"

My tea was tasteless in my mouth, the heavy thoughts racing through my mind seemed to have numbed my taste buds. The boys had been talking for ages about where the pack that had Meg was. The pack was big, the second biggest in England. Their head of security is the best in England full stop."So there's nothing we can do."The boys stopped talking and turned to me."That's not what we're saying, Carrie."I set my mug down and stepped forward. "But you might as well be! Megan is stuck in some hell hole, god knows if she's even alive."I shook my head and ran a hand through my hair "and we've wasted enough time."Ben stepped toward me, "No, I know that look, Carrie. You're going to

I had insisted that only Dante, Ben and I head into their territory. I wasn't even that comfortable giving them Dante, and I knew Ben wasn't going to let me do this on my own. The idea of wolves risking their lives for my sister and I felt unjust. But now, surrounded by wolves of all shapes and sizes I was beginning to regret my own demands."We have come to see you're alpha, we have no violent intentions. Please, bring us to him."The wolves around us growled, showing their disease. Until one particularly big wolf with a blind eye stepped forward. He transformed in front of us and Ben stepped slightly in front of me, I bit my tongue to keep from growling. Protection isn't something I want, or need, especially if we're currently facing an enemy."You're from the Gilddian pack?" We nodded and the man smirked,"The great future Gliddian alpha brought with him only one fighter, and a girl for protection."I snarled and stepped in front of Ben.

The alpha gave us no time to talk, he had Dante uncuffed and the wolf who had brought us in, lead him and Ben away. Then he sent Megan back to her room, and I turned to follow her."I've been alive a long time Carrie."I froze in the doorway and looked back at him."In that time, I've made a small observation."I smiled politely, "is this small observation your tiny brain capacity?"The alpha grinned easily at my insult. "No, it's the protectiveness of a male over his mate."I rolled my eyes and gave him a slow sarcastic clap. "How genius of you."The alpha smiled and shook his head. "Clap all you want Carrie, the fact remains, you're the one that strangled me, not Ben."My hands tightened against the doorframe, "what's your point?"He raised an eyebrow, "your sister's fiance wasn't passionate enough to attack me for her, but he put a bomb in his neck the minute you were at risk."The alpha grinned and prete

"You're an idiot.""Dante,""A bloody idiot Carrie."I growled and Dante snarled, he flew at me, pummelling me into the bookshelf. He was painfully close, and he spoke his words into the crook of my neck."We had a plan, Carrie. I get the cup, then we find a way to make a replica. When did we agree on you throwing yourself into the mission?"I breathed hard against him, gripping his shoulders."I'm not sorry. I wasn't going to let you do this alone."His grip tightened and he glared at me."Look, I've already gotten this from Ben. The facts remain, I'm coming with you, I'm not sorry and it isn't going to change."He searched my face then slowly pulled away, "You're one stubborn girl Carrie Stewart."I smiled bitterly, "so I've been told."He shook his head watching me, and I smiled as his tense musc
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Fighting Fate Weapons and Walking
Ben woke me before sunrise. It didn't really matter, mainly because I hadn't slept all, and lying on a soft mattress for hours gets boring. I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Megan.The pack had supplied us with clothes fit for long-distance missions. I kept my dark denim skinny jeans from the day before, pulled on the soft leather hiking boots that were just a little too big. Then nibbled my lip looking, at the shirt options.Eventually opting for a deep purple tank. Dante, Ben and the wolf who brought us to the alpha met me in the hallway. From there we made a beeline for the weapons room.The clicking of metal was the only sound as we suited up for the mission. I lifted up a pair of sleek knives and began spinning lightly in my hands."There's something about a girl with a weapon."I turned around and Dante was smirking at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ben stiffen, but

We were making good ground, it was only 7 am but our quick pace helped us make the distance. I kept fairly quiet, trying to strategize in my head. Once we had the cup, things became unpredictable.Essentially it was Rent and his goons against Dante Ben and I. And with bombs in our necks, I didn't like our odds.Somehow we had to get a replica, replace it with the original, all while trying to stay in the clear with Rent and his boys.It felt impossible and it was more than likely going to end in a blood bath. Suddenly there was a harsh cry from our front line. I rushed forward and was quickly pulled back by my shirt."What the hell happened?" I asked.Rent shook his head next to me. "It's some type of underground den, the floor just caved in."I peered past him, a huge deep hole loomed in front of us. It was as wide as a house and too deep to see the bottom. Dante was pacing n

DANTE'S POV!!!!!"Where did you learn to do this?"Carrie asked quietly, admiring her reflection in the river. Her gorgeous green eyes glinted wildly, a strange mindblowing contrast to the dark blue patterns on her face.Rent smiled at her, "art runs in my family, my mom taught me to paint before I could walk. "A kind warm smile pulled gently at her lips and her eyes softened on him.My wolf whined restlessly. I stepped toward them, "in that case, what happened to my disguise? I look ridiculous."A mixture of splotchy mud stains and sludgy water plants stuck unevenly to the body at odd angles.Rent's eyes snapped to mine, immediately hardening. "What's wrong pretty boy? Afraid the mud makes you look fat?"I growled, "I look like I swam halfway across the river.""You smell like it too." Rent replied.

I sat on the edge of my bed, trying hard to focus my mind.

I wasn't optimistic.My mind was still racing, it made no sense, what was the queen gaining with me as a competitor?
