2024-10-29 19:42:56"Something smells off."
I rolled my eyes without turning to face her and continued to search for the pancake syrup.
From the moment I stepped into the kitchen, Asia tensed and has been giving me the stink eye ever since.
Of course every wolf knows that when a female wolf is marked, her scent mixes with her mate's. But it was a majestic scent; not 'off' like she presumed. She was just jealous that MY mate marked me.
I finally found the syrup and squirted a large amount onto my mountain of pancakes. I was extremely moody this morning since I woke up without Niall, but I knew that it was the post-mark pre-heat effects.
The fact that I was marked would throw my emotions off a whole lot for the first couple days, especially if I wasn't with my mate. But the fact that my heat was this close too, I was like a deadly ball of emotions walking around.
I was really considering completing the mating process before the full moon, that way I wouldn't have

If you are not a person who appreciates smut, you can skip it when you see it starting ⚠️...It was almost eight in the evening when I checked my phone and jumped up in bed.I woke up in the comfy blankets of me and Niall's bed, and that's when I remembered when I fell asleep on the way back home as he carried me. His comforting scent and straight stride knocked me right to sleep. But I was astonished to see that I slept all morning AND day.This heat thing was already exhausting me, and it wasn't even coming that soon. This got me even more curious as to who I really am. I knew that highly ranked wolves were said to have the worst heats, since the dominance in a Alpha, Beta or Gamma wolf was more prominent. Hence, the wolf's need to be fully mated is always greater.The room was already dark, indicating that the sun was almost gone, if not gone already. Niall was nowhere to be seen

I didn't hear anything after that."Zoey I don't think she's gonna make it"It rang in my ears like a mocking song. I couldn't process anything around me. I couldn't listen to Niall asking me what's wrong, I didn't see the dim of the light as it slightly flickered- I only saw red.I felt my feet moving, and I was down the stairs in what felt like a second. I didn't care what happened after I shifted, but once I hit the outside air I knew I was in wolf form.I ran as soon as I was certain all fours were on solid ground. The cool wind whipped past me in a fast mocking song, reminding me of the distance I had to go.I could hear Niall behind me, calling after me in desperation. I didn't even know how he managed to keep a close distance to me while I was in wolf form and he was in human form, but I guess it was the worry that boosted his adrenaline.Deep down I knew running all the way back to Brightwater Pack would be a challenge, but who am I

Hours.Four terrible long hours just sitting in a car waiting, anticipating and longing to arrive.The minute Niall and I got back to the Alpha house, he quickly explained everything to Jared and Asia while I packed a few things for us.They were already waiting at the door when we got back. Every wolf in the pack heard my howl, and that included them. I wasn't surprised when I saw Asia's concern though; any wolf could understand what a howl like that meant.We didn't know how long we would be gone for, but I knew for sure that if it was more than three days, I had to let Niall go back home. I need my mate, but a pack needs its Alpha and I couldn't keep him from his pack any longer than three days.This seemed to have the worst timing ever. Just when I am a day away from having my heat this happened. It's like the universe has a vendetta against me or something."Hey it's gonna be okay" Niall whispered from beside me. He held my hand with hi

Slowly, I took careful steps towards her bed.She was still fast asleep, maybe knocked out from anaesthesia, but she still managed to look peaceful. I glanced at Luka who was already by her side holding her hand against his lips with gratitude with a mixture of uncertainty in his eyes.He looked less tense than before, but I had a feeling that his fear wouldn't subside until he saw her eyes open again.I stopped a few inches away from the bed and Levi snuggled himself beside her without putting too much pressure on her. Her chest rose and fell slowly, indicating evidence of life in her body. It was enough to calm my nerves.Sighing, I sat beside her across from where Luka was sitting. I swept a strand of hair from her face and really took in her appearance.She had a busted lip and stitches on her left eyebrow, but her face didn't look much different thankfully. She did, however, look fragile under those casts. Maybe it was just my mind, but I didn

"Can I see her?" I asked as soon as I entered the hospital.They knew who I was talking about so I was immediately ushered to her room. Luka and Levi were already there when I entered, blocking my view to the bed. Luka met my eyes as soon as I entered, and the smile on his face made me know that everything was okay.I slowly walked further in towards them, and as soon as they stepped away from the bed and I saw her, I felt reassured. The smile that graced her lips when I saw her made me feel way better than I felt since I got that call yesterday."Hey" I whispered as soon as I was close enough to her. I kept my voice low as if I was going to hurt her with my tone.She offered me her famous Victoria smile then wrapped me in her arms. I held onto her for dear life, but just loose enough so I didn't hurt her.A single tear of joy rolled down my cheek as I heard a light chuckle from her."I don't appreciate all this tears shedding for me you kno

⚠️Just putting it out there, this is a very mature chapter,all of it. So if you're not interested in smut,you can skip here. You'll know what happened so don't worry about missing anything⚠️Enjoy!***Just one kiss.It was just a kiss and it drove me crazy. I knew most of it was because of my mini heat stroke, but the desire for my mate was solely primal. I knew this was it. I couldn't wait until my heat came for him to grant me some release, I needed him now.I didn't want it to be only because of my heat either. I wanted it to be like all the other times it will happen, only happening because we want each other so much. Yes, I might've initiated it because of a side effect of my heat, but now it was just up to me.Up to us.I ran my fingers through his hair as I slowly eased myself onto his lap so that I was straddling him. The kiss was still slow and soft, a gentle caress of our l

Different but great.That was the only sentence that I could use to describe how I felt in that moment. Since my heat two days ago and that wonderful night with Niall, I've never been the same--we've never been the same. I knew what it felt like to be fully mated, and I've never been happier.The constant assurance that he's mine and only mine was spectacular. I saw a new side of him that I'm oh so excited to meet again once we're back home later. I loved having him with me; it put me and my wolf at complete ease. All in all, I felt complete despite the fact that there was a whole other side of my life that I'm yet to discover.I had another talk with Victoria and Luka yesterday, just to be sure that I was receiving all the information I can get on my dad. But even after going through all my mom's things again and hearing all the stories mom told Victoria back in the day, I still haven't found anything.This trip home was supposed to be about being there

I tilted my canvas to the left as I tried to get my paint brush at the perfect angle for my now fully developed yellow flower.Anytime I needed to think, relax or just be at peace, I just grabbed my supplies and made art. A bird chirped beside me as the cool evening breeze from the meadow whipped my hair all over in messy curls. I frowned as I ran my hand through it, seeing it as yet another reminder that Niall wasn't here.Since we've lived together, he had always combed my hair for me, simply because I could never tame the coily waves myself. However, since I had to go to bed alone last night, I didn't get my usual braids or twists, courtesy of my lovely mate.But he didn't come home, and he still hasn't.Sighing deeply, I tried to remember what Asia had said about him being able to take care of himself, which was further backed by his mom later that night at dinner. That didn't mean that I didn't miss him though, and I couldn't hide the hurt I felt kno

I'd finally become the Luna I was always destined to be, and lead with my mate.After everything was settled in England, I promised not to be a stranger, but I knew I had to return home. The minute we were home, Niall and I started getting ready for the Pack meeting. It wasn’t just me who was being introduced, but our new Beta as well, Asia's mate.It was a very exciting day, and though I'll surely miss my link with Brightwater Pack, I was more than happy that I'd finally be free to live happily with Niall, now that everything was out and had been resolved.My heart felt like it was soaring on the clouds on its way to a bright future, and I couldn’t wait to see what that future was."All ready?" a voice from the door called, and I immediately smiled up at Ni

"This is Kavan Conley. I was the rightful heir of the Beta position at Emerald Pack, but my younger brother stole it from me. No one believed me when I tried to tell the truth, they thought I was crazy. Maybe my running away will confirm their beliefs even more. But you, whoever you are, the fact that you found this letter meant you were supposed to. I need you to set it straight. Even if it's generations later, I ask this of you: Tell my story, bring truth to the wolves of Emerald Pack, even if they don't know me. Because that will bring justice for my Julia."I took a deep breath as I glanced over the words scribbled on the paper for the hundredth time, before I lifted my head to the wolves of Emerald Pack who were looking at me expectantly.I was finally able to do it. I finally learnt everything about myself, my bloodline and my dad. Even though the man who clarified most of my heritage turned out to be a back-stabbing, power hungry murderer, it was good to know ev

"I knew it!""Incoming..." I squealed as I braced for impact as Jody launched herself at me. I had to gasp for air as she squeezed the life from me."I knew you were a Conley! I just knew it!" She beamed as she pulled away to gaze at me.The smile that lit her face had me so excited. I was as happy as her to know that we were related. If only we could've been sisters. But cousins were close enough."It's Boysen and always will be. But I am proud to be a part of this family" I admitted. I knew I'd never disregard my birth-name. I didn't want to. If my dad saw that he needed to take that name, then I wont change it. I'm his daughter after all.All the questions were still hanging over my head about what happened to him, and I really really wanted to learn what it was because I wanted to go home. I missed my mate too much. I called him again and filled him in about what I learnt. I couldn't wait until I was home to tell him more.As expected, h

Kavan? My dad's real name is Kavan Conley?If my dad was the first born of a descendant of the very first Beta wolf, then why on earth was a rogue in the first place? Wasn't he supposed to be here? Being Beta of the Emerald Pack?"It makes so much sense now!" He practically screamed. "Since the very first time I saw you when you were six, there was something about you that I just couldn't understand. The more you grew and the more you came to Emerald Pack, I knew it! I just knew you were my blood!"I shook my head as I jumped from the seat. "So let me get this straight. My dad, who I know as Reagan, is actually Kavan and is your older brother?""Yes""When was the last time you saw him?""Years ago. After his mate died, he lost it and ran away from home" Edward sighed, but something about that didn't add up."My dad didn't run away from home." I stated firmly.I didn't know my dad, but I knew he wouldn't run away from his respo

This chapter and the following chapter are very important guys! We're finally learning about who Zoey really is! Yay.Happy reading and Enjoy!***The next day rolled around quite quickly, but to say I had a good night's sleep would be a lie. I could always sleep on my own growing up, even after my mom died. But I had gotten so used to sleeping with Niall, that I didn't even remember how to sleep alone.I knew I'd have a challenge sleeping without him. I learnt that from the day when he left. But it seemed like the extra distance away from him made it even worse. The minute I woke up twenty minutes ago, my phone was already ringing with a call from him. Turns out, he was even awake before me.We spoke a while, but then he had to leave to do some early work. Everyone here was still asleep. It was five thirty in the morning after all. I didn’t want to wake anyone, and I knew I couldn’t go back to bed. So,

England.The land of Queens and perfect pinkies, also known as the country that I've come to love over all my years visiting.For some odd reason, I wasn't even surprised when Clarissa told me that my answers were here, simply because since I was a child and was coming here, I've always acknowledged how much like home it felt. And it wasn't about how hospitable the wolves here were. It was more of an inner peace that made me feel at home.What are the odds that ten years later, I'm here searching for answers that may lie in the very walls of Emerald Pack's Alpha house?Still, I should've known that my sense of belonging at Emerald Pack wasn't just because I liked it there. Even though at that time, my wolf wasn't awake in me as yet, she knew this was where our blood lies.If I was being honest, I was really eager yet anxious about what I'd learn. Will it be good? What if Vampires really do exist, and I'm part Vampire? Yuck. The thought alone gave m

I beamed at Niall as he watched me in disbelief. I knew I was a hard mate to keep up with. One minute I'm saying this, then the other I'm saying that.But Niall's features then softened, and he looked content with my words. "Really. You changed your mind?"I nodded. "I had an eye opener. Vic told me something about my dad, and I realised that the truth didn't hurt me like I thought it would. It actually made me feel better."He pecked my lips as he wrapped his arms around my waist tighter. I could see that this was a part of his plan. He knew Victoria was the only one who could've gotten through to me. And even though at first it annoyed me, I'm glad he did."Besides, she reminded me that whatever I find out, however hard it will be, I have a mate that will stick by me throughout it all.""That's what I've been trying to tell you," he pointed out with a small smirk. I quickly kissed the stupid smirk away from his face."I know. I know. But s

~The Human Reference~I pulled away from her. The hurt in her eyes was evident after my actions, but it wasn't because of her, it was because of what she said."What?" I questioned out loud.Victoria told me she never knew her dad, and she only knew mom when she was an adult. She also said she didn't know anything about our dads. So I was just confused as to what she actually knows from what she doesn't know.This was big. This was a huge part of my questions from the moment I was old enough to understand that my dad was dead. Nobody ever cared to tell me how he died, so why now?"If you will just listen please," she pleaded softly, and I simply nodded as I settled beside her again. My heart raced in anticipation. Victoria's dad killed mine? For what? For mom maybe?The million of questions in my mind seemed endless as I waited for Victoria to start, and I could already feel myself getting a headache."Remember when I

Three days had passed, and everything was going back to normal.Niall arranged a special section in the pack cemetery for headstones of my dad and Clarissa, so that I could visit them anytime I wanted to. I loved it.Even though I visited my mom's grave countless times back in Brightwater Pack, I never really had a talk with my dad like I had with her. Even though his physical body wouldn't be there, it was sweet, and I loved him even more for doing it for me.We were scheduling a pack meeting, where Niall will officially introduce me to his pack and make me a member.With everything that had been going on, we never got the chance to do it, but now we can since everything is settled. And even though almost every pack member already knew me, I still had to be officially introduced as Luna. I was more than happy and ready to be just that.This is all I need."Hey beautiful."I beamed at the very voice of the man I loved so much, and I t
