Chapter 23 – LightsAfter the castle tour, I asked Diesel if I could spend some time alone in the library and he walked me back over to it. I stepped inside and admired the general splendor of this beautifully crafted Library. The room was round, with dark wooden shelfs that were lined with books three stories high. It had two large sliding wooden ladders and a beautiful fireplace. There were two large study tables in the middle, with computers and several deep armchairs around the room.I found the section on werewolf history and pulled several books down. The fireplace was already stacked with wood, so I lit a match and brought the fire to full. I sank into a cozy armchair by the fireplace flipping through books and reading page after page. I had just finished reading about the rare white wolf. I turned the page to read about a wolf even more rare than a white wolf—“The Golden Wolf.” Diesel’s voice came from over my shoulder. I had been so engrossed with the book that I didn’t sens
Chapter 24 – TruthI was falling, falling into a cold dark pit. I crashed to the bottom of the hole laying in my own personal hell surrounded by darkness. My heart was racing, and I could taste the blood running from my nose. There was a stabbing pain in my stomach, and I reached for my baby. Cradling my little bump, I cried frantically. “Please be okay, please be okay.”“Lucy, Lucy, wake up.” Someone was shaking me.A scream escaped my lips and I sat up in bed, sweat was beading on my face and my heart was racing. I felt strong arms pulling me into the comfort of a warm chest. I was struggling to breath and couldn’t control my sobs. A familiar woodsy and musk scent hit my nose and started calming me.“I’ve got you, you’re safe.” Diesel cooed as he rubbed circles on my back for a few minutes until I was calm enough.“It was just a bad dream.”“No.” I sobbed. “It wasn’t. It really happened; it was real.”He looked down at me with pain in his eyes. “I want to know.”I wanted to tell him
Chapter 25 – Date“Hello sleeping beauty.” Diesel’s sexy voice said when I opened my eyes. He was carrying me down the stairs into the Castle. I had fallen asleep on the flight back.“I have a meeting in my office with my chief warriors that should have started ten minutes ago. I was going to take you to the room to sleep, but since you’re awake we’ll head on over.”“Okay, but can you put me down first?” I smiled.We reached his office door and he set me down. He held my hand and opened the door. “My apologies for the delay.”We walked to the conference table and everyone was already seated. Diesel sat at the head of the table and pulled a seat for me on his right side. Payton was the Beta and sat at his left side, across the table from me.“Lucy, you already know my father, Alpha Knox, Beta Payton, Gamma Zeke, and Delta Elliot. My chief warriors and trainers over here are Danny, Paul, Lance, Athena and Nolan. And this is Sam, our chief tracker.” I smiled and nodded hello at them.Die
Chapter 26 – LiaDiesel’s POVHaving her straddled behind me and squeezing me tight feels so good. She is right where she was meant to be, with me. I needed her like a fish needs water.“I need mate too!” Duke barked at me. “We need to mark and mate already!” He howled in my head. If it was up to him, he would have done it the moment we set eyes on her. Holding him back hasn’t been easy.“Duke, I’ve told you before, we need to go slow. Our mate isn’t ready yet, you can’t rush these things.” I told him.“You won’t be able to stop her heat; she will be ours soon!” He reminded me.“Let’s hope she’s ready and that she wants us.” I told him. “I want to see my mate and run with her.” He demanded.“Soon Duke, soon.” I assured him and he whimpered in my head longing for his mate.So much for a ferocious Alpha wolf, Duke was turning soft on me. “Speak for yourself pup.” He snickered back at me.We made it to Crescent Point, this place was beautiful no matter what time of year. The waterfall ha
Chapter 27 – Emotions“Come on Lucy dig deep and find that anger to fuel the fire circle.” Alpha Knox said. I was currently at the north end of the territory with Alpha Knox and Diesel, practicing my element training. I kept putting up a fire circle around them and Diesel kept extinguishing it with water and snow. I actually managed to singe his arm hairs yesterday.It’s been a week since Diesel first saw Lia and I’ve been training every day. Payton trains in human form with me, teaching me how to spar, strike and defend while Diesel coaches. Then I spend an hour with Alpha Knox on my elemental training and Diesel helps. After lunch, Diesel and I train in our wolf forms, with Payton coaching, because I can’t mind link with Diesel yet, so she calls out the instructions from him.We’ve discovered that my fire power is linked to my emotions. While elemental wolves can only control the element, they cannot produce the element. Diesel must have a water source to manipulate and control the
Chapter 28 – ClaimedHis lips came crashing down on mine. I kissed back just as hard and just as hungry. I wanted him more than anything. I wanted to feel him deep inside of me, claiming me, possessing me. There was a fire raging inside of me and it needed him. I reached down and pulled his shirt over his head and kissed his neck. He growled with pleasure. “Lucy, you’re going to drive me crazy.”“Good.” I said and locked lips with him again, our tongues dancing with each other. He pulled my dress up and threw it on the floor. Then he trailed kisses down my chin, throat and chest before removing my new black lace bra and tossing it over his head. He kissed and caressed my breasts gently biting and sucking on my hardened nipples.Slowly he kissed down my stomach and hooked his fingers in the waistband of my tights and panties, sliding them off together. I laid completely naked before him. His eyes darkened and his aura radiated heat and desire.My heart was racing, and I felt the heat p
Chapter 29 – Mystery ScentDiesel’s POVIf it was up to me, I’d spend all weekend wrapped up in bed with her. But she insisted we get cleaned up and head downstairs for breakfast. I could hear her in the shower and decided it might be faster if I joined her. I stepped into the large rock shower and stood under the rain fall water head with her. I quickly washed my hair and Lucy started soaping me up with her loofa.When she reached my rod, she spent extra time washing and stroking it. The beast stirred inside of me; she was teasing me. I instantly hardened and she smiled, pleased with her handy work. She rinsed me off and dropped to her knees taking me into her mouth. She sent my world spinning in less than ten minutes and swallowed every last drop. “Happy Birthday Baby!” She smiled up at me.“Happy Birthday indeed.” Duke purred at me.I was about to scoop Lucy up and take her back to the bed when Payton mind linked me. She had been on patrol early this morning. “Alpha, we’ve picked u
Chapter 30 – SurpriseWith three days left until the Luna ceremony, Diesel and Payton had stepped up their training sessions. I was ready to join the warriors in training. I was currently walking towards the east end of our territory, to the training grounds and arena. The indoor arena was used during the snow season for trainings. Diesel and Payton were already at the arena and Alpha Knox walked with me.There was something so warm and comforting when I was with him. He had worked hard to help me train and control my element. When he wasn’t working hard, he spent time cooking for us and telling me stories about the mischief he and my father got themselves into when they were young. Being here at Crescent Moon, with him, felt like home.Most Alpha’s lose their sanity, become cruel killing machines or withdraw completely when they lose their Luna. Some even kill themselves. When Alpha Knox lost Luna, Clair, he focused his energy on helping his children. His children that Clair had give
