Bethany This ball is incredible and already there have been so many mates found, this is my first time attending the blue moon ball and it's amazing to watch wolves find their mates but I don't envy them one bit. The story of how I met my mate is one you rarely hear and I wouldn't change a thing. It's amazing to think that Brooke and Cal met at this ball, and now look at them! "You ok beautiful?" Hands slide around my waist as I'm dragged from my thoughts, my mates breath fanning my ear sends a shiver down my spine that I know he felt. "Yeah, I was just thinking!" "About what?" "About how incredible it is to watch all these wolves find their mates. To think that they come to the ball alone and now they'll leave with their mates, it's pretty incredible!" "Do you wish that it had happened like that for you?" I turn my head to look into his eyes and the hint of insecurity is clear to see. "No!" There's no hesitation in my answer because it's the truth! "I was also thinking about
Bethany The moment I close the door I miss him, Fuck the pull of the mating bond is crazy add in the fact that I've wanted Liam for 3 years and you've got one intense feeling! I head for my bedroom and quickly strip off before warming the shower up. I pin my hair up because I'm too tired to deal with drying it right now and make quick work of showering before putting on some plain black cotton shorts and a matching thin strap top and nose-dive my bed. Within 10 minutes I know I won't be getting any sleep tonight, I'm exhausted but I can't get Liam out of my head, still can't believe he's my mate and he didn't reject me. In fact, he seems to want me just as much as I want him. I don't know how I got so lucky but I will spend every day of my life thanking the moon goddess. I've always loved stretching out in my queen-size bed but right now I feel lost laying here, for the first time ever it feels like the bed is too big. I want my mate, I don't want to sleep on my own. He said
Bethany We're almost at the beach house and I can't wait to get there but I must admit this whole ride has been so much fun. Liam has held my hand the whole way while we have talked, laughed, and sang our hearts out, he has an incredible voice, I honestly could listen to him all day. We pull off the main road and onto a narrow one, after a few minutes the trees surrounding us start to clear out and we drive along a long road just before a beautiful beach house appears before us and the beach closely follows. Liam pulls up alongside the house, parks the car, and quickly comes around to my side and opens my door for me. He takes my hand and we walk around to the front of the house. The house is a white stone with huge windows and French doors that lead onto the beach, we step inside and a gasp leaves my mouth at the beauty, it's a small house, so cozy and cute. There's a cream sofa in front of a large fireplace with a tv up on the wall above the fire, and there's a large cream r
Bethany Once we've finished our food and cleaned up Liam gets the fire going and I fetch a bottle of wine and glasses from the kitchen. Yes, I'm underage and shouldn't drink but neither Brooke nor Cal mind as long as I'm safe and I couldn't be any safer right now. Liam sits down on the floor with his back against the couch then pulls me down so I'm sitting in between his legs, my back to his chest and he brings his hands around my waist draping me in his heat. The logs in the fire are crackling and the flames are roaring to life and it's incredible, it may still be warm but this log fireplace is too good not to use while we are here. After a few moments of silence, Liam moves my hair to one side before placing gentle kisses on my neck, making his way around to my ear and gently biting down on it. I feel his fingertips on my skin as he slides my jumper down my shoulder and places gentle kisses on my bare skin causing my stomach to flip. He turns my head to the side and we're
Beta Liam I'm pulled out of my sleep by my nose itching, I quickly scratch it but it soon starts up again and continues to happen another three times. What the fuck is going on? I slowly open my eyes, blinking to adjust to the light streaming in from the windows when the itching starts up again, my eyes shoot open to see what's going on and I quickly find the culprit. Bethany is laying half on me half on the bed next to me tickling my nose with her finger. The moment she realizes I've caught her she pulls her hand back and her sweet giggles fill the room and I honestly couldn't think of a better sound to wake up to. "Well, good morning beautiful, having fun are you?" I know I'm beaming already but who wouldn't be waking up to Bethany. "Good morning, I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about. I've just been laying here waiting for you to wake up." "Oh, is that so?" "Huh huh!" I love her playful side. "I think you're forgetting a few things, sweetheart." "And
Beta Bethany 1 year later... "I'm so nervous Brooke!" Between the nerves and excitement, I feel like I'm about to pass out! "I know how you feel sweetheart, I was exactly the same!" Her loving smile always warms my heart but it's doing nothing to help my shaky legs. "I can't believe it's been 4 months already; it's gone so quick!" She nods agreeing before she fixes a stray hair that's escaped her updo as there's a knock on the door and my stomach dips as Joesph, Liam's dad walks in looking smart in a three-piece suit and bow tie. "Oh wow, Bethany you look incredible!" I love this man so much, he's like a second dad to me and will always hold a special place in my heart. "Thank you, Joesph, you look very handsome!" His kind eyes bore into mine as he steps up to me with his arm outstretched. "Are you ready sweetheart?" "As ready as I'll ever be!" The butterflies in my stomach are torturous but I'm so ready for this moment. Brooke, Katie, and Ashley step outside the r
Bethany "Bethany, Beth wake up baby!" "Momma, what's wrong?" "Rogues, we're under attack. I need you to take Bella to the safe room and don't come out until I come and get you, ok? Promise me you won't come out until it's safe Beth!" "Ok momma, I won't I promise!" "Good girl, now run and don't stop, protect Bella. I love you, Bethany." "I love you too momma." I take a sleeping Bella from my mom's arms and run out of my bedroom, down the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room, and finally reach the kitchen. I pop open the door as the growls and pain-filled howls start to get louder and I'm just grateful that Bella is sleeping through all of this. Finally, we reach the safe room. I lock the door once we're inside and lay Bella on the mattress on the floor. This room has everything we need, there are two mattresses on the floor with blankets and pillows, torches within reach just in case the power goes out or we need to keep the main light off, and a cupboard wit
Bethany The women, children, and elderly are still in here... but they're dead. HOW? How did anyone get in here? How could anyone kill these defenseless people? those poor babies! What have they been through? What did they see before they were murdered? I can't hold back my tears; I start looking around praying there's someone still alive but the longer I'm here the less hope I have. I call out quietly begging someone to answer me and someone does, I can't believe it. I move quickly to where the sound is coming from to find Mrs Thompson my best friend Carly's mom. "Mrs Thompson, are you ok?" "Beth dear hi, no sweetheart I'm bleeding pretty bad!" "Oh Mrs Thompson we need to get you help now; do you know where Carly is?" "No, it's too late for me Beth, as soon as I stand, I'll bleed out, I don't have much longer left. Beth sweetheart Carly... she's... gone... She's dead!" I knew in my heart that she was gone but hearing it out loud still feels like a knife tearing my heart
