Amber was such a sweet girl, the stinging gash on my arm was well worth the effort to save her from a life of goddess only knows what. She led me along the main corridor in the West wind and through the heavy double doors into a foyer that could comfortably fit my parents’ house inside it twice.
A small seating area was set up to the right of the front doors, the floor to ceiling windows on either side of the door let in an abundance of light. There were several doors off the room as well as a huge staircase that led up to the first floor. I followed amber up the stairs, noticing for the first time the middle-aged man following silently behind us, dressed all in black, and mentally noted that he must be the warrior Tristan said he would assign to the floor.
We walked along the open plan landing that looked down on the foyer below then along the corridor to the right and up a second set of stairs to a

Calista FaiAmber turned out to be a wealth of knowledge about the pack, although I expected I forgot half of the information as fast as she told me it. I heard all about the leadership and how the hierarchy worked here, as well as a small amount of information about the last Alpha and his Luna.By the end of the hour that we spent together her tears had dried up, she was smiling and laughing and I could honestly say that I felt we could be good friends.She left around 3pm saying she was expected to attend the meal this evening and that she needed time to get ready I let her out of the room and immediately retreated to the on-suite bathroom for a quick soak in the huge tub to get ready myself.I was completely lost in my own thought’s half an hour later as I climbed out of the tub and wrapped one of the huge towels around myself, feeling completely relaxed I had almost forgotten all about the day’s events.

TristanLeaving that bedroom was just about the hardest thing I had ever had to do, and that was saying something. I fought my own desire and my wolf every step I took towards my own room.‘Go back’ Nox demanded as I strained to keep myself heading away from my mate. The desire to mark her, to mate with her was stronger than anything I had ever experienced.This is crazy. How the hell is it possible to want someone so fucking badly that literally every part of me aches with need.I immediately stripped off my clothes and stepped under the cold spray of the shower, head bent against the tiles I let the water run over my tattooed back while trying to get control over myself, but five minutes later I was still as hard as a fucking rock, and I knew it wasn’t going away on its own. With a shudder I wrapped my fist tightly around my now painful erection and pumped my cock enthusiastically as visions

CaliThe minutes ticket by as I paced the elegant wooden floor of the perfectly decorated ballroom. Eventually, just as I thought I was going to throw up with nerves, Amber rounded the doorway with her father in tow.“Is there anything else I can help with Luna?” Trent asked and I smiled.“No, thank you for your help. Are you attending this evening?” I asked and he shook his head.“No Luna, the meal and reception are designed for unmated and newly mated wolves. I will be at home with my mate this evening.”“Okay, well thank you again. And enjoy your evening with your mate.” I smiled, I watched as he gave one last nervous glance at his daughter who stood before me looking nervous herself as she played with her own fingers, before he left.“Amber, thank you for rushing down, I am so sorry to interrupt you. You look beautiful by the way.”

Cali“Good evening all.” I greeted once all eyes were on me, my voice breaking with nerves, and I swallowed and cleared my throat offering the gathered wolves a smile.You know that dream you have where you’re naked in high school. Yeah, I’m not embarrassed to admit that I did look down to check I was still wearing clothes.“Alpha Leroux has been held up on Pack business, I am sure he will join us as soon as he is able to. In the meantime, however, I would like to welcome all guests to Blackrock and thank you all for attending this year’s Autumn mating day.”“As a new member of Blackrock myself, I would also like to thank you all for making me feel so welcome. I am honoured to be here, honoured to now call this my home, and I will do my upmost to be a worthy Luna for you all.” I swallowed hard again, looking at the faces who were all smiling back at me.

Tristan. ‘Fuck’. I made my way across the ballroom as fast as my human legs would carry me and sought safety at the Alpha table with Roman and some blonde he was chatting away with.I slumped back into a seat and tried in vain to keep my eyes away from the dance floor. Damn I really was a bastard. She stood in the middle of the floor, eyes down looking completely lost, and I couldn’t say I blamed her. I never dreamed that the desire to mate her would be so strong that I couldn’t hold her long enough to have one dance in public without my wolf trying to take over. How the fuck was I ever going to treat her like a Luna if I couldn’t hold her hand let alone actually mate her, without risking her death?Nox was unusually quiet in my head as I tried to process everything, letting my eyes roam the gathered crowd and completely ignore the ridiculous conversation Roman was having next to me.

TristanThe sun had barely risen when I got the call that something was going on. Now, stood dressed in a casual white shirt, and black trousers at the ass crack of dawn, I wanted nothing more than to crawl back into bed, only it wasn’t my bed I found myself fantasising about.The small moan that had greeted my ears as I walked past the bedroom door had me stopping in place and instantly hard. I could hear her heartbeat and smell her scent through the solid wood, and it was killing me that I couldn’t go in there. But I couldn’t go in there. I would kill her, fuck I couldn’t even control myself long enough to dance with her and the desire that Nox was feeling was echoed through my own body making the whole thing that much worse.I had experienced Nox’s desire to mate for the last few years, and each year it had gotten gradually stronger, but there had always been a clear distinction betwee

Cali.Well, my first day at Blackrock certainly hadn’t been what I expected. It was early afternoon and I had spent most of the day locked away in my new office researching mating ceremonies. I sat back in the chair and closed my eyes, enjoying the silence for a moment.My parents, as promised had brought me several bags of clothes this morning, just in time too as I had no idea how I was supposed to go about my new Luna duties without any clean underwear. We had enjoyed a quiet breakfast in a small dining room in the west wing of the pack house before they left to head home.Watching them drive out of the gate at the end of the very long driveway had tears springing to my eyes. My whole life I had only been able to rely on my parents and myself. No one stuck around for long once they figured out how different I was. For the first time in my life, I would truly have to fend for myself here.The morning ha

CaliExhausted was an understatement. I hid a yawn behind my hand, rubbed the tired skin around my eyes, pulled my hair back into a messy bun, who cares if it’s not Luna like, at this point I feel accomplished if I remember to brush it.The pack had been running on reduced security with increased patrols for five days now. Five days of Tristan running the border patrol all night and sleeping most of the day. We had managed to cross paths three times since he swore me into the Blackrock pack and took me up on my offer to help, but boy did I regret that.I mean I did and I didn’t, my life had literally been hell for the last five days, I was a walking time bomb ready to drop at any moment, I felt like I had no idea what I was doing most of the time and I was sure I had screwed up at least half a dozen things, if not more, but somehow everyone was alive and nothing had burnt down, so for now I was considering

The pack house was blissfully quiet the next morning, something I was surprised to find, even as I walked down from the bedroom and through the halls, there was no one in sight and no noise, it was actually a little eerie.Roman had explained the night before that the warriors had located Liberty pack and they were planning an attack on their camp so I had no doubt that Roman Tristan and the other relevant people were ensconced away in the war room making plans, but I would have expected, at the very least to run into some of the pack house staff.Cali was sat alone in the sitting room with a trolly full of breakfast foods, her head bend as se read through what had to be the oldest book I had ever seen.“Morning.” I whispered, not wanting to disturb her but Cali closed the book and placed it in her lap before looking around the room and fixating on the trolley of food as though surprised to see it there.“Morning. What time is it?”“A little after nine. I slept in.” I muttered feeling

TristanJackson wasn’t joking when he called it a camp. From the looks of it most of the shifters were sleeping outside under the nights sky. Most of the year that wouldn’t be an issue, especially if you shifted into wolf form to stay warm, but there was still snow on the ground in parts of the woodlands, and the bits that weren’t covered in snow were frozen solid, it was freezing out there.I scanned the picture on the screen, taking in the tarpaulin hanging haphazardly to create barriers from the wind, rain and snow, the single tent like structure and the dozens of shifters, and a sadistic glee filled me, it was animalistic and most definitely came from the wolf in me but it wasn’t an emotion I would fight.These monsters had attacked my home, my pack, put the alliance under the treat of war, injured and killed. Kidnapped and tortured and soon they would receive a taste of their own medicine.“Roman, go through the pictures and videos see if you can put together a map of their camp.

RomanThe sense of relief was astounding, even Smoke was calm inside my head for once, laying with Amber wrapped in my arms, our cub growing safely inside her, for the first time I felt like I was home. I guess it’s true what they say, you don’t know what you have until its gone. The risk of loosing Amber over this made me realise just how much I needed my mate, and only part of that feeling was due to the bond we had created.For the most part it was all her, her smile, her gentle approach, she tempered me in a way I didn’t know was possible, even Smoke was generally calmer when she was around.Her fingers traced the ridges on my chest and stomach, the now familiar tingles leaving bump on my skin.“You okay?” I asked, loathe to break the comfortable silence, but we couldn’t ignore this, a baby wasn’t just going to disappear. The no of her head against my chest wasn’t the most reassuring answer he could have given. “Amber, baby. I need you to talk to me.”“It hurt. Knowing that this t

CaliTristan genuinely looked like he was at his wits end, not that I could blame him, yet again he was shouldering a hell of a burden and there didn’t seem to be a reprieve around the corner. I watched as he sat back in his office chair, scrubbing his face with his hands as he took deep breaths, trying to control the overwhelming emotions running through him, frustration, anger, disappointment, disbelief, not one of them were positive and left me feeling overwhelmed and I only felt the echo of his emotions.Anger seemed to tip the scales a little as he dialled the phone and placed the call on loudspeaker on his desk waiting for the other person to pick up. He tapped a finger on the desk, and I bit my lip, I had a feeling that Lotus pack were about to be on the receiving end of all of Tristan’s pent up frustrations.“Leroux.” A young voice answered and my eyes flicked up to Tristan in surprise. Alpha Paxon was far from young, his son Abel was set to take over any day, but word was tha

AmberWhen I suggested to Cali that we take Amie out of the boot room, I was just trying to be the bigger person, and if I’m honest I was feeling a little guilty, the girl couldn’t be much older than 18 if at all, and she was on the receiving end of a hell of a lot of hate, even if she hadn’t witnessed it, I didn’t want to be one more person in her life that hated her, when truth be told, Cora was right, that cold have just as easily been me.But the story she told actually broke my heart. No one should have to live in that kind of a household, no one should be belittled by the people that are genetically engineered to love you. I couldn’t help but rub my hand over the rounding belly that contained the bundle of life I already loved so much.I couldn’t even imagine.“Amber?” The question startled me, I had actually forgotten that Roman was here, I also hadn’t noticed that everyone else had abandoned me. I guess it was for the best. No one wanted to be a part of this kind of conversati

Cali‘Well that escalated quickly.’ Thalia’s thought in my head was pure amusement as she practically drooled over how protective and strong our mate was. Damn baby hormones. We were in the middle of a nightmare situation and all I could think about was how much I wanted my mate.Tristan growled at the older man before issuing a threat of his own, his tone pitched low enough that bumps rose on my arms, if the man wasn’t wetting himself he was an idiot, I more than anyone, knew just how soft and loving Tristan could be, but in Jacks shoes, I’m not entirely sure I would still be conscious.“You have some nerve, coming into my home, throwing around your accusations, threatening my beta, demanding things like you have a right and now you have the balls to throw a vase at my mate, my Luna. The only reason you’re still breathing is because of that young girl over there. The very girl you were ready to abandon, the girl you call a whore, just saved your life.”I felt the tell-tale signs of t

RomanJack Elisse’s voice carried when he was mad, I didn’t even have to force my hearing to listen in on their conversation, standing in the hallway, with the door closed, I could hear him as crystal clear as if he was stood beside me, and every one of his words sliced through my patience like a knife through butter. I could practically feel Tristan’s displeasure from here, and I had no doubt that after this performance I was shortly going to be on the wrong end of another one of the Alpha’s rants.The fact that I had to step out of the room at all was just icing on an already fucked up cake.“Look at you, standing there like you think I’m in the wrong. They always said that Alpha Leroux was fair, tough but fair and yet you’re taking that bastards side without blinking. You have to know that he’s in the wrong here, behind that blank mask of yours, you cannot be this blind.” I winced at the older man’s words, knowing just how pissed off Tristan was right now, there was no way that wou

AmberIt literally felt like my heart had been torn from my chest. The only man I had ever loved, had a child with someone else.“Romans talking with Tristan, he was up here with you for a while but Tris is pissed.” Cali informed from her seat beside me on the bed, although I could barely focus on her words, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to.“I don’t want to see him.” I muttered and Cali shook her head.“Don’t talk like that, you’ll work through it.”“I don’t care, right now Cali, I do not want to see him. How could he do this to me?” I asked as the tears fell from my eyes and my hands went to my stomach. The child he had been so worried about, scared to raise, wasn’t even his first.“There’s still a chance the baby isn’t his.”“I don’t believe that, and neither do you. We both saw his face Cali. The baby is his.”“So, what are you going to do?” The question was asked tentatively but that was the question of the hour, what was I going to do?“I don’t know, but I can’t, right now I just c

RomanOf all the fucking things, and all the fucking timing.I grit my teeth as I stroked the hair back off Amber’s face. My pregnant mate had literally passed out from the news that I had apparently fathered another she-wolfs cub. The doc was on his way over, while I had managed to catch Amber before she hit the ground, I wasn’t willing to take any chances with my mate or my cub.Now I just had to figure out what I was going to do about the girl and the baby.I recognised her, of course I did. She was a member of Lotus pack, a she-wolf I had met over a year ago while Damian and I were on assignment there.Was there a possibility the baby was mine? Unfortunately, yes. I was always careful, I always had been, with everyone but Amber, although that didn’t really mean a lot, shit still happened. But I hadn’t been her first, and I doubt I was her last, so was there a possibility that the cub belonged to someone else? Sure. And fuck was I hoping that was the case.A knock on the door had m
