“Good afternoon, ladies,” Vince greeted, being seen by his mate first, then welcomed by James and Rosie’s excited squeals,“Oh my gosh, V! Look, Rose and James! It’s Daddy V!”“DADDY V!!!”Lucas and Darien were soon yelling “Uncle V” along with the Camden twins, adding to the group’s cheerful chaos.“Bro, the children love you. You’re like a dirty blond Santa!” whispered a grinning Aaron to his Alpha.“Ho Ho Ho,” mimicked V with a hearty chuckle as they walked towards the happy swimmers.Both suited men got to the edge of the pool and greeted their respective swim-suited mates with forehead kisses as the kids tried to grasp at them with their small wet fingers. They were only partially successful and were soon jubilantly splashing around in the pool again.“What are you doing here, A? I thought you’d be busy,” Diwa said, as she climbed out of the water.“I missed you too, pumpkin pie,” Aaron said, making her laugh.“I mean, we thought you guys would be busy, so we didn’t invite you,”
The place was great! Classy inside and out, despite the many people already dancing on the floor. It made sense that there was a long line of people waiting outside it.They took a round-table booth up in the mezzanine, better known as the VIP area. From there, they can easily view a very well-known Progressive House Dutch DJ playing his signature live music. Siel’s jaw dropped when she recognized the young male celebrity behind the turntable stage.“Di! Is that…”“Oh my gosh… Isn’t he your favorite, girl?”Suddenly, the said DJ looked up and waved at their table. Siel and Di turned to their men and saw them returning the wave.“You know Martin Garrix?!” Siel gasped.“Done business with him before,” V said, hiding an amused smile seeing how his mate was fangirling so much at that moment.Good one, V, praised Roth, his wolf.Thank you, thank you. About time you admitted that I’m doing something good.I said good, not great, V, Roth corrected jokingly.Of course. Whatever, dude. You’re
After leaving the club, instead of asking a host or security staff to get her a cab, Diwa chose to walk a little. She needed to clear her mind and let her pained feelings cool down. Besides, she was sure that there was no danger at all. If she got too far from the packhouse, she could always give control to Opal and go into wolf form then run back home.Unknown to her, there were sinister shadows lurking and observing her from a distance, waiting for the right time to confront her…“Why did he have to ask me right now? Everything was going great. And it’s not even that I don’t want to, but…” the she-wolf murmured, still sorely mad and upset at her mate’s reactions.Well, the problem wasn’t that he asked Di, but that you refused to tell him the truth…“I know… I just don’t want to go through that yet! I’m such a coward, I realize that… But he didn’t exactly help me open up, Opal! Besides, what happened to me then… It still feels so fresh… like it was only just a month ago…”I’m sorry t
He firmly embraced her as he slid his tongue from her cheek to her ear then ending on her shoulder with a teasing bite. Then he pushed her forcefully against the wall, pinning her soft body with his hard bony frame. He breathed deeply, taking in her scent while feeling his dick grow bigger and harder.And he wasn’t the only one who could feel this…Di! Let me out!!!Forcing her mind to respond out of fear, Diwa closed her eyes tightly, and let her wolf take full control. Opal shifted to her light brown wolf form, then fell away from the monster’s embrace, and ran at top speed away from him towards the general direction of the Silvercrest territory.The maniac stood there a moment, looking at her wolf phase running as fast as she could. He laughed derisively then shifted to his dirty gray wolf form. He was soon speeding after her nut Kaiden didn’t worry too much about her escaping. After all, he never went hunting on his own.Opal was now very close to the nearby forest’s tree line tha
The four werewolves and the one human they carried finally arrived at one of the safe houses the Pack had for emergencies. It was Ma’Heron’s new headquarters, due to his suspension. Conveniently, it was also the property that had deep emotional value to him and his mate. Now, it was also a place of sanctuary for his sister, who was cleaned and dressed up by Alexia and Raquel, and then put to bed.“How is she, wife?”“She’s physically unharmed, but I’m not sure about her mind. I can only tell when she finally wakes up and talks to us.”“Alright… So, we wait then,” Ma’Heron decided, taking his phone out of his pocket and started texting.“Gamma, my wifey and I will have to leave now,” stated Myron decisively. “We’ll keep following them, now that they’ve finally shown themselves. It’s best to track them now while the trail is still hot.”“Yes, you can go. Thank you both again. Until next time.”“See you soon, Mr. M, Mrs. Alex,” Raquel chirped, as she followed her boyishly handsome husban
“Diwa…”Di gasped in horror! She knew that voice…The frightened woman forced herself awake just so she could get her bearings. She looked around and found herself all alone in the worst possible place that she could be.This is where it happened then! Why am I back here and what the hell is going on?She could almost feel the cold eerie wind that was blowing slowly that evening. It wasn’t really late, but there weren’t that many people around as well.“Come on, Diwa, I just want to show you something…”The southern part of the property, right before the forest, was where the workshops were.The smaller handmade decorative knick-knacks that the pack provided both for the packhouse and the different businesses of the companies were put together in this large, barn-like building. Bookbinding, pottery, wood-works, and a few other creative activities and crafts were taught and made here. The many tables, raw materials, tools, and equipment were scattered within, and right now, there was n
“Kaiden, I can’t be your mate if you ALREADY HAVE A MATE!”“I TOLD YOU! That was a MISTAKE!”“How can the Moon goddess MAKE A MISTAKE, KAI?!”“I DON’T KNOW, BUT SHE DID! And if you don’t want to make love with me, I will have to force myself on you, so you understand this truth!”NONONONONONONONOOOOOO!!!! This isn’t real… THIS ISN’T HAPPENING!!!“DIWA! I’M TELLING YOU, STOP!”ZZZZZZZEERRRRHHHHH!!! ZZZEERRHHH!!! ZZZEERHHH!!!The noise deafened her, and she paused just to see what her abuser had in his hand. She stared in disbelief…“Yes love, if you don’t stop fighting me and let me make love to you, I’ll have to drill a few holes into your perfect body. Please don’t force me to harm you, alright?”Her stomach churned in fear as she saw his face, now twisted and dark, no longer resembling the attractive youth she considered her childhood friend. Diwa knew then that he was very capable of doing what he just told her. Against her will, she tried covering her naked body with her slim arms
“No real damage done, thank the goddess. But how are you feeling, girl?” Alexia asked after completing her check-up of Diwa.“Unprotected. Unsafe. And so stupid. Of course, that shitface would still be alive… just waiting for me to come back here…” whined Di as she sat up in bed, her blanket still covering her up to her waist.“At least you’re safe for now, sister,” Ma’Heron assured her.“Damn it, this is why I didn’t want to return to the packhouse before… it’s because of him! And here I was thinking I just need to get over my memories, but the bastard is still around! I’m such an idiot, choosing to walk back to the packhouse from the club, completely forgetting about him!”“It’s not your fault, Di,” Alexia said, reassuringly.“No, it’s the fault of that asshole, useless mate of yours,” snapped the clean-shaven man who was still sitting on his sister’s bed.Alexia looked at her husband with a killer stare to warn him since his sister’s emotions were still to fragile to be remind her
He heard his phone buzzing on the bedside table. Carefully, the Silvercrest Gamma reached out towards his vibrating mobile and checked the screen…Hmmm, should I answer or not, Lyon?Looks like someone is missing you like heck already, bro. Damn, it’s just been a day, M. Aha ha ha!Ma’Heron chuckled, the sound a low rumbling in his broad, firmly sculpted chest, as he answered the call, “Yes?”“Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentine’s Ma’Heron. Now, when do you plan to get your ass back here?”M could no longer hold back his laughter at the sound of his Alpha’s slightly tense voice. “I don’t know, V. It really all depends on someone who’s very important to me.”On cue, he felt the naked woman beside him suddenly hugging his nude body tighter. He couldn’t help but stare at the sparkling diamond and ruby ring on his beautiful mate’s finger. M’s small smile had become wider as the memory connected to that very gift began to replay in his mind…* * *“MA’HERON!”“ALEXIA!”At the back of his
Meanwhile, the Gamma and the visiting Alpha, as if in agreement, both started the challenge in their human forms…They began with the usual hand-to-hand combat, and even then, you could feel the viciousness and fury being exchanged by the two men. Both had obviously been well-trained, and their past experiences and present expertise could be seen in their every move and counter.“So, your mate, huh Ma’He? And her pack? Are you happy with what you took from me?” gritted the Alpha, now sporting a bruised and cut cheek.“I took nothing from you. All of it is mine - and hers - since we were born,” M said tonelessly, evading a kick to his face and landing two solid punches on Abner’s chestGasping from the hits, the Crescent Moon leader managed to find his footing, then jumped up into the air, aiming a kick at M’s head while screaming furiously, “She was going to be married TO ME!”M dodged the kick and yelled back, still in this strange monotone, “To someone who didn’t love her!”Wow, it’
Everything was ready now…From the Silvercrest spot on the battlefield, Ma’Heron saw her walking regally beside Abner, head held high, hands to her side, stride as sensuous as ever. Her long, thick, and tousled dark mane perfectly framed her oval-jawed and serious face, making his mate look like a strong, determined amazon who was surrounded by her several male underlings.The only evidence of her brokenness was her puffy eyes; and the darkened, swollen skin underneath them.He also knew that underneath her black dress suit, the same one she wore the day she disappeared from work, he would be seeing more swelling and darkened patches all over her body. His assessment was all based on Myron’s recent report to him and the aches and pains that she tried so hard to hide from him during their linked conversations.Plus, the fact that she was even blanking out the visuals of their link, and he’s left with just a white “screen” when they talked, as if she was editing out images he didn’t wan
“Oh, wait, there he is! You guys just go. I’ll follow you to the car in a minute,” V said to the others.“Are you coming, Luna?” Myron asked, smiling while tightening the straps of his laptop’s backpack.“No, I’ll wait for him here. I’ll just see you downstairs,” Siel offered, as she returned he fellow office worker’s returned his warm and friendly smile with a similar version of her own.From afar, the Luna could see, through the glass wall of the room’s balcony, how her mate approached M. Soon after, the clean-shaven Denar was now hugging the bearded Riegel.There’s just so much a person can take, Elena thought as she watched Vince holding his friend’s sobbing form because there was nothing else her mate could do at the moment. It’s amazing how a man that cold, collected, and calculated can be transformed by finding the one woman who’s meant for him. “Mates” is a term that’s definitely something far above the simple love that we humans are used to feeling. His surrender, his loyalty
The Elders glanced at each other with troubled looks, unable to do anything else at that moment. They all got up from their seats at the same time and prepared to leave. So did Abner, who approached the Silvercrest people with a smile on his face and a hand extended, except for the brooding Gamma whose brawny arms are tightly crossed as he stayed in his seat. However, V took his hand and looked him in the eye as he spoke for everyone in authority in the room, “We’ll see you at the challenge, Abner.”“I can barely wait, Alpha. Damien, Melo, Stephen, and Jenna, it was nice to see you again,” the sardonic visiting Alpha stated as he shook hands with the elders, while obviously ignoring Ma’Heron and dramatically opened the door then exited the room.“Please excuse me a moment,” M mumbled then left the crowd in a rush, trying hard not to show his eagerness at what he was about to do.After stepping out into the meeting room’s balcony, it took him only a few seconds to reach her…Alexia!
The whole room was waiting for a feminine voice to answer the call that Abner was making right then and there. At first, it was hardly believable that he would risk calling his hostage, but when the line didn’t answer they figured out that he had tricked them once again.Abner indeed used Alexia’s number, but it didn’t matter how many times he called her. He was sure there would be no answer since her phone was locked up in his suite’s secret safe.“You see? Too tired to answer,” the lying Alpha stated with finality, his cynical smile twisting his small audience’s stomachs.The elders knew, even before the start of the meeting that there was something very much off with his request. And despite them knowing, they didn’t have much proof to counter the untruthful Alpha’s allegations.Of course, the Silvercrest Gamma will still insist on his demands, and everyone expected that…“She is my mate and was marked by me. And I have her mark as well. If she can’t tell me that she is where she w
It was not old news for the Elders that Abner had continually been finding ways to force his canceled wedding over Alexia’s mate situation. Obviously, his intentions were rather shady in the past, as it was right now. After all, they were present during the dramatically canceled engagement/wedding party of Abner and Alexia three years ago so they were quite aware of this problematic issue.However, what the Elders have personally seen then was true proof that Ma’Heron and Alexia were indeed mates.“Might we ask, why is the Gamma’s mate currently on Crescent Moon premises?” Elder Jenna asked, intently looking at Abner.“Well, it’s very simple. One day, she had just finished her shift here in the same building and was walking to her apartment when we met. She was so pleased to see me that she decided to come with me to my packhouse. Since then, she didn’t want to leave me anymore,” Abner explained as he grinned widely, a perfect copy of the Grinch’s similarly looking grimace.“Is there
On the 165th floor of the Silvercrest Enterprises Tower, from which the whole city could be seen, Siel was still listening to the end of Vince’s story. The last rays of the sun came through the glass wall and painted the other white walls on the sides of the chamber a yellow/crimson hue when Ma’Heron arrived. And with him, was the younger and slimmer Myron.“Hello, Myron! M, it’s nice to see you both again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though.”The Gamma nodded silently and respectfully at the Luna.“Hello, Siel! Wow, your first meeting as part of the pack! Are you nervous?” Myron said cheerily, which is his usual out-of-work personality which he hardly displays within their workplace.“I am, just a little bit… No, I’m actually… very… nervous,” honestly confessed V’s Luna.“Don’t worry, you’ll do great, I’m sure of it,” encouraged the CEO’s boyish-looking personal assistant. “It’s more of an introduction for you, so you don’t need to worry about it much yet. Besides, we’l
Just then, M and Alexia arrived at the packhouse! They immediately joined the fighting without even shifting. They quickly got to V, who was still trying to make his way to Alpha Van der Meer…As soon as Alexia and M took their place by V’s side, the Dark Forest warriors moved away, not wanting to fight her. V saw this as an opportunity for the father and daughter to speak causing him to mindlink his Deltas and give his order of shifting their attention to the other enemy pack. Everyone, let’s lead our enemies away from Alpha Arnout and his daughter! GO! Let’s bring them all to Beta Aaron’s area so we can help him fight off the Crescent Moon pack as well! As V and his werewolves rushed off, the Silvercrest Alpha hoped for the best for his ferociously battling Gamma and his similarly continuously fighting mate …Unfortunately, Alexia’s father was not a forgiving man, even if his daughter had done nothing wrong to him at all.Attack them! Alpha Van der Meer mindlinked to his warriors
