Leave me some love: comments, gems, likes. Love hearing from you guys.
I come awake all at once, screaming for my mother, tears immediately falling from my eyes. “Mama!” It takes a few seconds for things to come into focus and for me to understand what is happening. I’m in a cell, cuffed in silver to the wall by my wrists and a chain around my neck. There is enough slack in the chains that I can use the bucket that they’ve set beside me for a bathroom and to a small cot for a bed. There’s a single window up high on the wall, but it’s so high and so small there’s no point in trying to get to it. There’s also a single, bare light bulb in the room that while make it so that we can see at night, but there’s no way for me to turn on the light from the inside, meaning I’m at the mercy of my captors for even light to see by. And right now, the night sky is overcast and and the light is off. The place smells rank, like piss, mold, and the incense of the Riding Hoods. But as I’m waking up more, I’m getting another scent, that of orange and honeysuckle.
I’m trying my best to keep calm, but it is a near thing. My second chance mate has been kidnapped by the Riding Hood. Do you know how much it is a blow to the ego of an alpha, even an ex-one, that he can’t keep his mates safe? Do you know how much this is sending my wolf into a frenzy right now? At this point, every single one of my mates have been kidnapped. Brandon by Casen, Severn, and Corrinda and both of my she-wolf mates by the fucking Riding Hoods! And now my pups have been taken as well. Because if Kayla is pregnant, she has to be pregnant with twins. Fuck, my wolf is going insane. Doesn’t help that we have to wade through all the dead bodies with Gus, identifying everyone and seeing if there are any unaccounted for wolves. It seems that the Riding Hoods descended on them without any warning. There’s actually a circular scorch mark in the center of the town that they’ve created inside the barbed wire, almost looking like the blast off site for a rocket ship. I
I wake up in the hospital. The light coming through the windows is all wrong. It should be dark. Why does the light look like mid afternoon? It’s only then that I realize that I’m not in my bedroom or even in my suite. I sit up and realize that I’m in a room at the pack hospital. And I’m not alone. The second that I move, Aubrey calls out, “She’s awake.” Meredith, Uncle Dev, Bhatki, Liam, and Sandra, along with ALL SIX of my grandparents, all swarm into the room, along with Dr. Hazel. Shit, I’ve never had so many medical wolves around me at once. Bhakti, Dr. Hazel, and Uncle Dev are immediately swarming the machines, checking my vitals, and feeling my forehead. That is, until Dr. Hazel pulls rank. “Alpha Devin, Luna Bhakti, I get that Chris is one of you now and is very much like family, but she is my patient and I need you to back up so that I can check on her and the pup, ok?” Uncle Dev looks like he’s about to object, but Bhakti puts her hand on his shoulder, pulling h
The cell that they have us in doesn’t smell the best in the first place. But then, you add the smell of incense and death that comes rolling off of the Red One and I’m running to the toilet again, vomiting up stomach bile at this point. Goddess, I’m not going to be able to handle this smell for five months. I’ll be vomiting everytime one of them comes into the room. “Ugh. Acolyte, take care of that for me,” the Red One says. “Yes, Red One,” the raven haired girl responds immediately. She crosses over to me with a pitcher in her hand. I immediately move into a defensive crouch, but she just sets the cup down on the floor. “It’s just water. Nothing else. See?” She pulls a Dixie cup off of a holder by the sink, pouring water in it and drinking so that I know that it isn’t poisoned. “I thought that you might be thirsty. I know that you’re likely very sensitive to smells right now. I’m going to perform an incantation. It’ll calm your stomach,” she says. I watch her war
Hearing about my mother being missing was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Having Rowen there was a huge help. He took care of me: helped me bathe, fed me, slept next to me, and held me. Though, it was still hard even with him there. We had been close once, but when Jared and I kind of went our separate ways, so had Rowen and I. Though feeling him next to me and having him hold me while I cried was a huge help, it wasn’t the same thing as having a friend there. Fati and JoJo came home and stayed with us for a while, but they had to fly out to Artemis pack with their Mom. That was the other thing, Chris had still be passed out until early afternoon today. And then, when she found out everything about Esteban and my mom, she passed out again, even with Devin trying to calm her down. The stress was so much on her body that she started bleeding and Devin had to work some healing mojo on her so that she wouldn’t lose the baby. I think that if that had ha
I had anticipated that Summer would be too worried about her mom for anything physical to be going on and that she would likely want more of the cuddling that she’d been doing with Rowen all day. I have absolutely no problem with that. Anything that will make my girl feel better. But then, just as we’re landing, Rowen opens a mindlink with me, pushing through the images of what he’s seeing and smelling right at that moment. How Summer seems to need to think about something else from what she’s dealing with right now. And she is choosing sex to do that. Neither Rowen, nor I have a problem with that. I loved coming in to just dive right into her pussy. I can still smell her arousal coating my mouth. My dick is fully at attention and making it slightly hard to walk, given that I’m alpha blooded and I’m wearing some rather tight jeans. Rowen looks at my gait and gets a look at the large bulge in the front of my pants before barking out a laugh. “Having a little trouble walk
We’ve returned to the Artemis area, determined to pack up Chris and get her out of there, along with the rest of our wolves. We don’t want the Riding Hoods to come here in an attempt to get Chris and hurt anyone else. Meredith, Hakeem, Aubrey, and I have been working together to to get wolves moved to different areas. Not everyone lives close to the packhouse, with many wolves preferring to be within an hour run. They like to be more out in the woods and in nature. Normally, we wouldn’t need to worry about them as much as we do those near the packhouse when we’re worried about fighting. Those wolves that live further out have to be better fighters, better at concealing themselves, and better at defence. There also tends to be a witch or two in their midst, so the magic is helpful.But now? Now we need everyone out of the territory. As their leaders, we have to make the executive decision to take care of everyone.Working with the surrounding area alphas, we move our wolves
“Ugh, child. You smell like wet dog. We didn’t you bathe before coming to dinner?” the Red One, my mother, complains. “I apologize, Red One. The she-wolf is feeling poorly and I had to care for her, as well as clean her portion of the cell.” Just because she has claimed me as her daughter in front of our enemies and this spell is all for my “benefit,” that doesn’t mean that I can speak to her as if she were my mother. She is now and has always been the Red One to me. I haven’t called ehr mother since she backhanded me so hard that I fell down a flight of stairs. I think I was six then. Even with my limited understanding of family dynamics, I know that isn’t something that a loving parent is supposed to do. I have rarely, if ever, been shown any affection in this coven. The first time was by a nanny who had been proud of three year old me for solving an addition problem. She had picked me up, hugging me toward her chest. When my mother came in and saw me in the other wo
I have no idea where we are or how long we’ve been here. Loviatar, the scary ass bitch, has us tucked away in between words. We can interact with objects in the real world, but are more wraiths than anything. It has the benefit of not being hungry, tired, or thirsty, but it’s a rather lonely existence. The only time since Loviatar has ‘saved’ us that we’ve had interaction from the outside world is when Nyx contacted me through the coin. Her words still haunt me. “I was the one that set up the ambush on the witches in the fae realm. I was the one that killed all the witches that you left behind.” “We’re coming for you.” “I’ll be the one that finally puts you down.”I have no idea where I went wrong with her. I treated her the exact way that my mother treated me and her mother treated her. It inspired unending devotion and a need to please in both me and my mother. I had no idea how much Nyx hated me. She always showed such deference. Like she revered me, as she should.
I’ve been hanging out with some of the acolytes from the Crone, Maiden, and Mother covens since we came Arcadia. It’s been great to be around all of these witches again. I’ve missed the sisterhood that comes with it. Many of the witches were weary about interacting with me. But after calls from Nora, Citra, and Bella, they relaxed. With their leaders believing me, they were willing to give me a chance. Though my powers are far and above the acolytes, they are the closest to my age and I’d rather find some friends than a magical peer. Not that’d I would have find one anyway. When I told Kayla that my powers are far above behind and beyond any other witch’s, I was telling the truth. The unfortunate part is that I don’t have a lot of the same experiences as they do. Being stuck in underground tunnels with old hags my whole life and very little interaction with the outside world, I don’t have a lot in common with them. My accent and the fact that I’m still seen as a Riding H
“So, what are we thinking?” Roman asks the second that he sits down. “About what, Roman? There’s a lot of stuff we have to go through,” Zak says amused. “Geez, man. At least wait until we all sit down. I haven’t even had my coffee yet,” Erick grouses. He and Roman are close enough to be brothers, so they give each other shit all the time. “Shit. I have no idea how Justine puts up with your impatience. I’d have you bound and gagged before coffee every morning.” Waggling his eyebrows at his best friend, Roman says, “How do you know she doesn’t?” Justine comes over and smacks Roman on the back of the head. “What did I tell you about telling secrets outside of the bedroom.” Erick glares at him. “TMI, dude. Too fucking much TMI.” I can’t help but laugh at them. They remind me of how Charlie, Zak, Brandon, and I used to be with each other. Zak, Brandon, and I are still like that, but I do miss Charlie’s part in it. My childhood best friend. Even though I get to see h
Alexander and Jared ask to talk to me in the alpha suite after the ceremony is finished. I wait until the party is over and allow Mémé Clara to take Lily to our rooms. Esteban and I take the elevator to the fifth floor of the large packhouse. “Why do you think they want to talk to you?” Esteban asks, though I’m pretty sure he knows. “Tehre’s only one reason they would call me on the night that they have figured out that they are mates,” I say, drily. “Same reason they didn’t have Jacob take over his role as lune tonight?” His face mirrors the anxiety that I’m trying hard not to let consume me. Because this is not going to be a fun conversation. I nod. “JoJo.” Jacob lets us into the room, having changed already. I hug him. “Hey, cuz. How you doing?” He hugs me tightly before gesturing me to come in. “Reaping the consequences of my rash actions,” he says sorrowfully. He turns to my mate, hugging him as well. “Hey, Jacob. Congratulations on finding your mate,” Esteban say
I stand in front of a large group of wolves, fresh matemarks on my neck. A stark difference to my twin who stands beside me, a bittersweet air of excitement and sadness. I feel so bad for Alexander and Jacob. They are my brothers. I love them, care about them and seeing them in this pain hurts me. For now, I can’t do anything about it. For now, I have to stand here during this ceremony and then I have to go through the mating time. But after that, I’ll help them find their mate. I’ll help them at least talk to her. And if I have to, I’ll help them deal with their rejection. “Brothers and sisters!” Declan cries out and my attention is drawn back to the ceremony at hand. “We are here today to welcome another alpha and beta into the Moon Goddess Pack!” The entire room erupts in cheers, stomping of feet, wolf whistles, and pounding on tables. Declan holds up his hands and the crowd quiets. “When our goddess created wolves similar to her son Lycaon, she wanted to give h
All of us fall forward, bodies in tangles in the sheets. But the rest doesn’t last long. Because Rowen’s wolf is the one that is always closest to the surface, he tends to incite Summer and my wolves into even more of a frenzy, especially when we are in bed. And now? When we still have one more mate to mark? They are rubbing themselves around in our minds, urging us to complete the bond. They want their final mate marked and mated. And I, for one, am very happy to oblige. I manuver in the bed so that I’m behind Rowen. I pull on his hips until he’s on his knees. “Mmmm, what are you doing back there, Jare?” he asks, his voice full of desire. “Fucking my mate,” I growl out, slamming into his hole, bottoming out in one thrust. “Holy shit!” he nearly screams, pain and pleasure mixed. I know that his wolf loves the savageness with which I’m taking him. And I know that Rowen himself loves it when we dominate him. It doesn’t happen often, because he’s just so damn good at it.
Rowen has to carry me to the bedroom. I’m not kidding you when I say that the orgasm I just had was the most intense in my entire life. It was like pleasure not only took over my pussy, but infused through every fiber, every neuron, every cell of my body. I’m pretty sure that I blacked out. My wolf was so satisfied, I think she actually purred like a goddess-damned cat! But the satisfaction didn’t last long. I have two mates to mark. Jared has a bottle of lube in his hand, crawling towards us on his knees across the bed. Rowen sets me down and I immediately start crawling over to Jared. “Lay down,” I tell both of them. They are both going to be getting fucked tonight. Might as well make sure they are both loosened, lubed, and ready. Because the way that my arousal is still flowing down my thighs, I’m not going to need it. When they are in position, I pour lube on both of their holes. “Closer together,” I tell them. “I want to suck on both of your cocks while I fing
We stayed with Dad throughout the night, laughing about old times, talking about the responsibilities that will come with our new positions, and talking about the matebond. I can’t wait until I get back to wake up and find my mates. The fact that I know exactly who my mates are, that they are the ones that I’ve wanted my entire life, takes away all of the anxious energy that I’ve been feeling leading up until my birthday. Now, I’m just filled with excitement and impatience. “Am I allowed to tell Summer?” I ask Dad as we’re getting ready to leave. “Yes,” he smiles wide. “You can even mark her if you want. She’ll feel the sparks.” Dad’s face suddenly takes on a worried expression. “Selene was supposed to be here to tell you that. She swore me to secrecy a long time ago. Hell, before Jared’s birthday. She said that she made it work out like this because of the fact that the three of you are Elite warriors and will be needed in the war to come. She wants you at your stronge
I had a feeling that I would be seeing my boys tonight. The night before they were born. Their 21st birthday. It’s so hard to believe that the babes that I held in my arms when they were born, the pups that I have watched grow, both with me and on Earth, are going to be fully fledged wolves. I’m so proud of the males that they have turned out to be. They are strong, brave, kind, loving, and, above all, happy. I love them so much and I am the proudest papa wolf in the entire would because of them. Right now, Alexander has been dealt a shit hand. A really shit hand. I feel awful for him. Jacob really screwed the pooch on that one. I legitimately don’t get it. I mean, I wanted to have my mates more than anything in this world. The only thing that made me even think about rejecting Arya was to help save her pain. But I always, always, always wanted them. I mean, I know who all of our pups are mated to. Jacob, Rowen, and Alexander. I also know who all six, well seven
