2021-09-21 22:07:18The conversation flowed easily throughout the meal, like they had been old friends catching up after a long absence.
They had moved back to the loungearea infront of the fire, stomachs fit to burst after three courses of delectable food. Mila had brought through a tray of coffee which was appreciated by everyone.
Lounging around enjoying the comfortable chatter, Brodie hardly took his his hands off of Talia. He was always touching her in some small way, currently his fingers were playing with the soft, silky curls of her hair.
Talia had been explaining to Brodie's parents about her plans to become a doctor, her inherant desire to help others when she started to feel odd, losing focus, her words refusing to form as she continued trying to talk.
She went silent, her eyes rolled back in her head as her body started convulsing before suddenly going still. The panicked voices of everyone else in the room sounded fuzzy and far-away to Talia as if she was li

Finding Him Chapter 1. The Dream
The room was in complete darkness, not even the tiniest sliver of light was able to find a way through the dense black.The only sound she could hear was her own staggered breathing, a musky smell invaded her nostrils. To try and let her senses adjust to the oppressive gloom, she inhaled deeply and closed her eyes.A deep rumbling caused her to open her eyes quicker than she would've liked. Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead, physically exposing the fear she was beginning to feel.As if sensing her fear, the rumbling intensified. She squinted into the dark, although not clear she could've sworn that a pair of golden eyes had appeared. Swallowing hard, her instincts were telling her to run, to get away from the ominious noise and the beams of light that seemed to glow brighter as the thundering growl increased.Hands trembling, she tentatively reached

Talia left her house and turned right onto the street. She enjoyed walking to school. It was peaceful and beautiful. Each season had its own particular beauty. At the moment the trees were dense and lush with varying shades of green adding dimension , shade and light to every small area. She tried not to dwell on the dream as she steadily walked along, but it kept snaking through her mind. Who was that wolf? Did they have something to do with her past? Shaking her head, Talia focused her thoughts on school instead. She was naturally gifted academically although she put this down to her love of reading. When she wasn't training, she was in the library absorbing all the knowledge that being alone granted her. Growing up in the pack was not the same as being born into it. All the people her age were brought up together and Talia being an outsider, made them wary of her. The bond was not there as it was for them.

As the training was usually held in the afternoon, other students and sometimes adults of the pack came to assess the progress of the younger members.Today, there was a crackle of excitement in the air. Hudson Bennett the Alpha of Bloodrose and his son, Brodie, the future alpha had come by to watch.They wanted to cherry pick the best fighters to be part of their elite warriors. It was the highest honour for any fighter."How they looking Theo? Any elite among this class?", Hudson's rich, sonorous voice quizzed the combat teacher.He took great pride in the fact that he was in the elite for his class and that he son followed in his footsteps."A few promising ones my Alpha. Even some of girls are shaping up to be some of the best.", Theo didn't mean that to sound condescending.The females were encouraged to fight and to be able to defend themselves but very

Talia left the speechless Alpha and the stunned crowd behind her and continued on to the shower block.She went to the very end and stripped. Wolves were notoriously unabashed and free in their naked forms but Talia, who wasn't bothered by others nudity, was shy of her own. She wanted her mate to be the only one to see her intimately. It was an old fashioned notion which she clung to dearly.As the water cascaded over her, a slow, heartbreaking tune escaped her. Her smooth voice spoke of love lost and the despair of losing one's self and destined mate.Brodie was quicker to shake off the daze that the little girl had left them in. He decided to go and find her. Talk to her and perhaps persuade her to train with the warriors. There was a tightening in his body at the thought of being able spar with her. Shaking his head, he took off in the direction she had taken.Hudson saw his son sprint off to foll

Talia woke up fully after an hour of arriving at the hospital. The pungent odour of disinfectant invaded her nostrils. She also detected a subtle hint of lavender, turning her head towards that gentle note, she saw her mother sat beside her. Worry lines were etched into her forehead."Hey Ma! Don't frown so much. Those lines will become permanent.", Talia smiled weakly as she spoke to Violet.Violet studied her daughter's face intently, "Oh sweetheart, thank the goddess that your alright!", a small sob escaped Violets lips."Ofcourse I'm fine. It'll take a lot more than a wall to take down a she-wolf like me.", Talia thought humour would be the best way to soothe her mother's fragile nerves. A small ghost of a smile appeared on Violets face. It was working."Yes, but it's enough to send me into a mass of worry.", she gently scolded.Talia sat up slightly, assessing her body as sh
Last Updated : 2021-03-13Finding Him Chapter 6. Nothing Special.
Talia looked up from her hands, "Is there? I mean, I'm just an orphan. There's nothing special about me at all.", tears were beginning to form in the corner of her eyes. This was so unlike her. Dr. Stewart curbed his excitement as he watched her. He couldn't help wanting to discover why this girl was different. He never imagined that she wouldn't be intrigued. Most people of her age wanted to be special, wanted to stand-out, but not her. "It's alright young one. I won't keep you here against your will but maybe if you could answer a couple of questions, just to satisfy an old man's curiosity?", he was gentle with her. Gaining any information was better than nothing. "I'm not sure if I'll be able to help you any. Can I think about it?", Talia was conflicted. The sudden attention that she was receiving made her uncomfortable. Apart from her adoptive parents, she wasn't used to any kind of affec

Dr. Stewart came by to thank Talia for agreeing to help him. He took several viles of blood as samples to carry out various tests on. The doctor said he'd be back to ask a few questions once he had finished his rounds.Talia was nervous but her parents gave her encouragement. Brodie had to leave but promised to be back in time if she wanted him to be. She did. She really did.She had never needed or wanted a friend but now Talia didn't want him to go. When she thought about Brodie, there were little flutterings in her stomach. It was strange and new but somehow comforting at the same time.Talia passed the time catching up with a school assignment for English. Writers block kicked in. Normally she would go for a run to clear her mind but this wasn't an option just now so she settled for a shower instead.She had just finished changing into a hoodie and shorts when Brodie came back with

The air in the room was thick with expectation and anticipation. They all wanted to know what Talia had learned. Brodie had some idea as he was linked to her.She felt terrible but she really wanted to be alone for a while and didn't want to talk about it. She needed to take a beat and process it first."I know you want answers but honestly I'm exhausted and could do with some time on my own.", Talia looked at Dr. Stewart, "Do you think I could leave? I would like to be back in familiar surroundings."Violet was about to protest. After what she had just witnessed she wanted Talia to stay another day or two."Please? I'm fine. I want to be at home.", Talia opened her eyes wide and pouted slightly. This trick had work since she was a young child."OK darling, if the doctor agrees then we'll take you home now." Talia pumped her fist in her mind then turned to face the doctor."Physically there is nothing stopping you. I'd like you to make an ap

Talia was still sniggering as she got out the shower and headed back through to her room. She had heard the pair of them but decided to not let on, plus she needed some time to calm down from almost nearly moment Brodie and she had. If her mother hadn't come home, who knows how far it would have gone? 'Oh you know.', her wolf answered her. 'We can't let them mark us until your birthday. Fool around all you want but do not mate him before then.' 'I didn't intend to but is there a reason why?' Talia thought, not sure if she would get an answer. 'Can you tell me your name please?' 'There is no reason apart from the strength of the bond we will share. When I am fully with you, the bond we make will be one the strongest our kind will have ever seen and my name is Rieka. 'No pressure then!', Talia whistled as she glanced over the clothes on her bed. She dressed quickly, a little self conscious at how much her bra pushed up her boobs betwee
Finding Him Chapter 28. Almost Caught.
Talia linked her parents to let them know that they would be eating with the alpha family tonight, shutting it down rapidly again to drown out Violet's squeals and ramblings. Brodie was still wiggling his eyebrows at her, causing her to giggle with delight. She took his hand and led him up to her room. "I know exactly what we could do.", with a coy grin she led him over to the bed and sat him down on the edge. Brodie gulped audibly as Talia bent down in front of him, her tight ass on show for him, through her skin tight jeans, causing his own trousers to tighten at the sight. Brodie longed to touch her, palm her firm cheek but he couldn't work up the courage before Talia had righted herself with a backpack in her left hand, hooked by one finger. "You could help me study?", she was trying to keep the humour she felt off her face, to appear innocent, which was proving to be very difficult. "S..study? You want me...to help you study?", Brodie looked as
Finding Him Chapter 27. Dinner Plans
The room was silent and still. Brodie had stopped talking sometime ago and now they all were just sat like statues lost in their own thoughts. It would have been an alarming sight for anyone walking in and witnessing it, like time had been frozen within the walls of the room. Mila was the first to shake herself free of the trance that the heavy atmosphere surrounding them had created. She stood and walked to the window, one arm around her slender waist, the other propped up by it at the elbow, resting her chin on the back of her long fingers. She stood, staring out into the grounds and beyond that to the vast forest, her expression neutral. A small grin tugged at her lips and a warmth glinted in her eyes as her head turned towards the men, her body following on. "I think that we should meet your mate, Brodie. I'd very much like to get to know my new daughter.", Mila's smile grew as she spoke happy that her son will have a strong Luna. She wasn't at all sure w
Finding Him Chapter 26. Luna's Home.
Brodie thought about what Talia had read to them and if there could possibly be any truth in it as he walked back to the packhouse. He believed she was special, she was his mate, but for her to be directly decended from not only the first wolf but the Moon Goddess as well was mind blowing. He thought about the stories that he was told as a child. He recalled something about the first wolf had became enranged that there was now a superior line of wolves and he, feeling that he was the alpha of all wolves, set out to destroy them. The tale that Talia had read was a watered down version designed for children, where as the more mature version was a lot darker, with more death and destruction and less happily ever after. Brodie's mind and heart was heavy as he walked through the packhouse doors. He would have to bring his parents up to speed with everything but felt like he was betraying Talia, in doing so. debating with himself, Brodie concluded that if there was

"Did you really think that would work? Wolves, remember?", Lachlan pointed between his wife and himself. "We have excellent senses.", He looked amused rather than annoyed, which made both Talia and Brodie visibly relax. Lachlan chuckled at pair of them. "It's okay, you're both adults, well almost, and you are mates. Sleeping is easier, isn't it?". Talia wore a tight smile. She would've agreed if she hadn't ended up in another one of her dreams. She took Brodie by the hand and led him to the table, intending on getting coffee for both of them but he turned the tables and gently pushed her into a seat and went to get the drinks instead. Her heart fluttered, such a small but sweet gesture, sent tingles running through her entire body from the tip of her toes right up to her head. "Thanks.", she smiled sweetly as he handed her the cup. The four of them sat at the table eating a breakfast of mushroom omlettes. "Do you either of you know if being born under
Finding Him Chapter 24. Shadow Wolf
Waking with a start, Talia wiped the hot, salty tears from her eyes. Inhaling slowly and deeply to stabilise her rapidly beating heart. She shuffled closer to Brodie who was still fast asleep. He felt he shifting and subconsciously tightened his arm around her, helping Talia to reach her desired destination. The shadow wolf had told her that he was the reason her parents were dead. She couldn't control the grief and guilt that had overtaken her body. If she had been born a day later, this could maybe have been prevented. Twenty-four measly hours. That was the difference between life and death for the wolves who gave her life. She knew she had two options in front of her. She could wallow in self pity and let the grief overwhelm her, risking the lives of the ones she now loved or she could these emotions to make her stronger, to train harder so that when the time came, she could repay her parents murderer in kind. Talia lay there for a while, unable to fall ba
Finding Him Chapter 23. Answers.
After getting over nearly dying with shame and saying goodnight to Brodie, Talia was looking forward to an early night. She climbed the stairs, heading straight to the bathroom. She turned on the taps of the bath, pouring in luxurious, sandalwood scented bubble bath, in the hopes of getting a restful night. Talia padded her way through to her bedroom, picking a pair of shorts and a vest top from her drawers and tossing them on her bed. She grabbed her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth while she rummaged in her vanity for a pair of hair sticks. Letting the brush hang loosely between her teeth, Talia pinned her hair up into a messy bun using the sticks. She tossed her toothbrush in her sink and went back to the bathroom, before the bath overflowed. Stripping off, she stepped into the hot water and slowly sunk down beneath the bubbles. Sighing in pure bliss, Talia closed her eyes and allowed the scented steam to invade her senses, humming softly to herse

"WHAT?! Say that again? Your wolf, she spoke to you?", Brodie bombarded me with questions. He was even more confused than I was.Not wanting to get into here I said, "Let's go to mine. I'll explain what I can there okay? Plus then I don't have to repeat everything again to my parents. Two birds, one stone and all that.", taking his hand, we quickly walked the short distance to my house.My mother opened the door before we could reach it, fussing about the time, "Where have you two been? I was expecting you a while ago....Don't just stand there, come in.", She ushered us in with a flick of her dish cloth. She looked at Brodie. "You'll stay for dinner ofcourse, won't you dear?", my mother was like a hen clucking around it's chicks.Brodie was still reeling in shock at my revelation. "Uh...Yeah sure, Mrs. Christie. That would be great.", he managed to reply as she pushed us into the house."Tsk. None of that Mrs. Christie nonsense. It's Violet.", she tutted
