Orion's POVA few years ago, “The rival pack is striking again; we need to build stronger forts; my father expects everything to be done by nightfall,” I ordered in annoyance. I could be anywhere but here, yet my dad expected me to be among the commoners, ordering them to work. The omegas dug deeper; others filled the hole with blocks, strengthening the fort. It had been a long day of training and my bones ached. The only person I was expecting to see was my future mate, Angela. “ Hi, Orion, your dad told me I'd find you here, “ Angela said, skipping to me,” I missed you, haven't seen you the whole day”“ I'm sorry I was training,” I pleaded, hugging her as she placed a kiss on my cheek.” Are we still on for tonight?” She nodded, flashing a mischievous smile.“ I told Mom I would be going on just a walk around the pack with you,” she said,” besides,s, that's all we're going to do, right?”“ Of course” I lied. Though we were going to be mates, we had to wait for the mating ceremon
Delaury's POV“ Would you like to learn how to transform into your wolf?” Tristan said, picking up his favorite fruit and doing a little play with it before eating. He always does this. Who would have thought the big bad wolf would have a cute favorite. “ Yes, I would love to,” I replied, a bit ecstatic about what lay ahead. Living with Tristan for just a few days wasn't as much of a horror as I'd expected and even though the thought of being a future Luna still caused me great unease, I had to go ahead with his kind gestures. “ Tyron and I will be training a few young wolves today after breakfast; you may join us to watch and learn,” he offered, already wrapping up his breakfast. “ Alright, I'll join you soon” He smiled, his smile did lots of things I didn't understand. I could swear if I wasn't a wolf, my human form would have fallen for Tristan already. He could qualify as a Greek god. “ Good, meet us when you're done, brownie,” he said and got up to leave. His bare back musc
Delaury's POV “ What the hell were you thinking?” Tristan shouted for the tenth time behind my door as I scrambled to find something decent to wear. “ I'm sorry I didn't mean to ,I had a shawl on ,the girl—” I rambled. “ That explains nothing! Do you know what lust unmated wolves carry?” He shouted once more, this time entering the room amidst my confusion inside. I was still undressed and he stared at me with pure lust and anger. I'm guessing he also carried the same lust.I picked up a sheet to cover.“ Krystal gave me her clothes, turns out my bust is a bit bigger than hers, that explains the shawl” I explained calmly. “ We need to get you proper clothes” he paced back and forth, speaking more to himself than to me. “ I'm sorry Tristan” I apologized once more and he stopped pacing to turn to me. He came closer, his tall frame towering over me. His hands slid across my waist, drawing me closer. He buried his head in the crook of my neck, dropping silent kisses on it. Star k
Orion’s POv“ I think we need to change the painting in this room Orion, it doesn't fit couples about to be mated” Angela called out from the room. For some reason, I had been dragged to the balcony of the pack house ,just staring at passersby and far into the bushes. “ Orion!” she called out again. This time, angrier.“ I'm here ,Angela “ I stated, Israel ,my wolf annoyed at the distraction grumbled.“ Aren't you supposed to get rid of her? “ He said.“ She's my soon to be mate, I can't do that” I replied. Not wanting to think of one brown haired girl. Which wasn't possible, my mind had been jumbled. Forced to live with Angela by both her parents and my Dad, there was no privacy to think things through. I just had to get ready for the “ second Mating night” as both parents stated. “ Did you hear me Orion, I said this room needs new painting” Angela appeared behind me, with an annoyed expression.“ Okay, I'd ask Sebastian to get some for you in the city by noon” “ How about we go
Delaury's POV “ Ouu it's been a long time Tristan, where have you been?”a woman greeted from behind the counter the moment we entered. Tristan gave her one of his charming smiles and I could see her blush in delight. “ I've been around, just small stuff you know,” he said, already looking around. “ Would you get her size please, we want some clothes for her” The woman turned to me, as if noticing me for the first time , she eyed me suspiciously. “ Oh, a new girl?” She said, still eyeing my outfit. “ Nothing for you too see Mira, get her clothes please” Tristan said, already looking annoyed at her delayed tactics. “ Yes , Tristan” she said, “ come with me” After a few minutes of disappearing into aisles she brought out a heap of clothes and pointed to a room at the left.“ I'm sure he'd want to see whatever you wear, so when you change , come back here” she ordered. I could only nod and take the clothes from her to try it on.After several “too revealing”, “ too short” and “ p
Orion’s POV The crowd in front of the stores confused me as Angela and I arrived. The paint shop was at the far end, making it easier to just enter than pass the people who had gathered around. “ Are you coming with me ? “ Angela asked, already leading the way. “ Uh- no, I want to check something,you go ahead “ Israel grunted within and I couldn't help but ask what was wrong. “ You missed this,” he said angrily. Angela turned to leave in a huff, obviously wanting to make a grand entrance with me. I don't know what was pulling me to the crowd.“ She was right here, it felt like some form of an attack” a lady said, obviously she had seen what was going on and was narrating it. “ Did he take her to the hospital?” A man asked. He smelled like a wolf. I walked to him instead. “ I don't know, he carried her in the car and they left in haste” she replied. “ What's happening?” I asked the man. He began to protest but sensing I'm also a wolf he explained. “ I think it was an Alpha
Delaury's POV I hadn't seen Tristan for days. I'd not been outside too for days, because the doctor said I should be resting and Krystal said Tristan preferred me to be in bed. My guess was he's probably still annoyed with me. “ How is he? “ I asked Krystal the moment she appeared to check on me. I'd just taken a shower and was preparing to lie down and wait for my breakfast. “ Angry,” she replied, placing the food tray on the bed. “ Still?” She nodded. “ How is he acting?” “ Throwing items around, kira keeps getting a hang of his anger” I grimaced. It was all my fault. Tristan had been acting all cool when I came till my wolf had to spoil it all. “ I need to talk to him” “ He's busy,” Krystal replied, a bit tense. “ Busy? “ “ Yes” “ With who? ““ Kira” “ Again” I said , a tug in my chest. Was it jealousy? She only nodded. “ Whatever I need to talk to him now “ I said. I needed to save Kira, I caused his anger. “ No, wait ,dont–” I was out of the door before Krystal c
Delaury's POV I didn't know where I was going, neither did I have any plan. Maybe I could go into the city, get a job like a normal person and be free from arrogant and ruthless Alphas. The silence of the wolf's age confused me. This was my second time here alone and this time I wasn't even sure I'd make it out of here. “ Did you think you could escape us ?” I turned to find a grey rogue wolf from some time ago, behind me. His yellow eyes roamed around me like some form of meat. The black wolf was nowhere in sight. “ What do you want from me? “ “ You're obviously lost aren't you?” He asked, coming closer whilst I stepped back.“ No–”“ You liar!” He roared, causing me to whimper. “ I am not lost” “ You still smell like a lone wolf, an unmated one” he said, a little smirk on his face. “ There's no one to protect you now, not even your big bad alpha” I would do anything for Tristan to appear right now. I needed to stall him.“ How did you know about him?”“ Who doesn't know Tr
Delaury's POV“ Stay back Delaury,” Tyron warned as he prepared to shift and attack the wolf. Its fangs were as long as any Wolf's I've seen and the color was as rare as it came. It was neither black nor grey or Ash. It looked brown with a tint of redness around. I watched Tyron shift as I stood behind him, his tail wagging to alert me to move back. I didn't. I was rooted to the spot ,some form of connection pulling towards the strange wolf . Tyron lunged first but he could reach the wolf, he stopped and fell down,his wolf writhing in pain. The wolf didn't spare him a glance. It was looking at me. I was the one it came for even though I didn't know who it was. It jumped past Tyron as I moved back and it walked towards me. “ Who are you? “ I yelled. Tyron's wolf was up now, growling at the angry rare wolf walking to me. It turned when Tyron bit into its neck and soon Tyron had been thrown far away from us. Normally Tyron was a strong wolf, whatever this wolf had was something dif
Orion’s POV “ Delta Argon, how are you doing? “ I asked, as much as I was angry, I needed to keep my cool. “ I'm fine Alpha, how about you,?” “ May I speak to your wife? “ I ignored his question and went straight to the reason why I was right in front of his house. “ She's inside, is there any prob-” “ May I see her Delta? “i repeated, this time angrier. “ Okay” he went inside to call his wife who seemed shocked to see me. “ Lady Crawford, I'd like to speak to you ALONE” I ordered. She nodded, turning to her husband who I assume was also part of what went on with Hudson.I led the way towards he pack mansion, I didn't have a particular place I wanted to talk to her but I needed to be out of earshot with her. “ May I know how and why you got to report issues of the Eziele pack to Alpha Hudson? “ I questioned, not bothering to be formal. “ It's for your own good, I needed to speed things up” “ Speed things up for the moon goddess? Or the oracle? How can we speed up a mating
Delaury's POV “ What is he talking about Tyron? “ Krystal asked, sitting up on the bed. “ Krystal–” “ Tell her exactly why I'm preventing you from being together, you idiot” Tristan yelled out. “ I guess you're fine now so I'll be taking my leave here “ Jules said, not wanting to be caught in the web. No one replied. I was the best person to do so but I was concerned about how Krystal was going to take whatever was about to be said. “ We had a fucking deal Tristan” Tyron yelled. “ You didn't go according to it and besides she left me so there's nothing to lose right? “ “ Can you guys just spill what's going on? “ I demanded. “ Look Krystal, believe me it was a mistake ,I didn't mean to –” Tyron began, “ Just go straight to the point,Tyron” “ Yeah ,go Straight to the point” Tristan said, taking a seat beside the bed. “ I slept with Tristan’s former mate one time when he wasn't around. It was wrong and I apologize about it but it was technically his fault” “ How exactly was
Tristan’s POV Two years ago, “ Alpha we're not done , the fire is yet to catch the rest of the sides” the old wolf ,Elias stated. The rogues had been bothering us for years and finally I'd mastered courage to burn up the routes that led to my pack. Just to confuse them.“ I know, I will put someone in charge for that, I really need to go” “ Is she around? “ He asked, giving me a knowing smirk. The only time I ran from meetings like this was when my beautiful mate was around. She had been wrapped around her fingers and I couldn't have it any better. “ Come on, who is the ‘she’” I teased.Ours was a sceretive bond, one she had preferred to keep it a secret until we finally mated publicly and she became my Luna. As much as I had enough intimacy with her, I wanted to show the whole pack who their beautiful Luna was. “ Take care, I'll meet you guys at the pack” I yelled. “ Calm down boy” Azrael kicked within me in excitement. She had finally sneaked from the nearby pack to mine an
Delaury's POV “ What is wrong with her Jules?” Tristan asked for the tenth time since Jules arrived and the man was as irritated as he could be. “ If only you would let me check on her, I'd know,I just came son” he retorted and Tristan retreated in silence. Jules worked in silence, working on a comatose Krystal as we all watched him.“ A little privacy would do,” he said, and we both nodded and left.“ Why would she just go off like that,” Tristan questioned. “ Maybe if you just hadn't gone off on her like like that, she wouldn't “ I stated, “ She wasn't –” “ How the hell was she supposed to know that Kira had no good intentions? Do you explain things to her” I replied. I angrily moved away from him to obviously clear my head. Tyron rushed in, distress written all over his face. “ What happened to Krystal? “ “ How did you know something has happened to her?” Tristan fired.“ Another story for another day” “ Nothing happened to her,”“ He yelled at her” I rattled and he turned
Orion’s POV The drive was silent, not because none of us couldn't speak, but because we were going to a place we didn't want to. If I was considered a mean Alpha ,then Alpha Hudson was worse. He pried into issues he wasn't supposed to pry into and didn't mind if he was over saying something. “ Seems like we're too early,” Sebastian said, feeling grumpy . “ I think we're late instead,there are other cars around” Sylvia replied and I nodded. We got down and before we got in, Sebastian said what I wanted to say. “ Please do not speak until you're spoken to, we do not want to declare war over Hudson” he said, speaking directly to Angela who only grumbled a reply. “ Orion, Sebastian, welcome , I'm guessing these are your mates? “ Alpha Hale of the hale pack greeted. A kind alpha who despite his calmness, ruled his pack with strict orders. “ Thank you, yes they are,” I replied. Angela took my hand as we walked towards the conference room. The Southern pack consisted of just a few pack
Delaury's POV “ When did the wolf's age ever have a blood moon? “ I asked Krystal. The blood moon was a myth I'd grown up hearing about and I never knew it ever happened. “ The blood moon is coming? “ Krystal asked back. I only shrugged. “ Tristan talked about it to me, I didn't think it was a thing so I just shut up “ “ It is, it has different meanings “ “ What are they? ““ Some say it signifies a curse and most people sacrifice their loved ones for power and others also believe it's a time of renewal “ “So what does it mean in our contest” “ Renewal, you're bothe rejected mates Delaury, it's required that you renew certain bonds with you Future mate so the mating ceremony would be simple” she explained. I nodded” so you and Tyron, what are you doing on that night?” “ Shushhh, Tristan might hear you, if he's in his room, he hears everything and the oracle also tells him to anticipate some things “ “ That explains the blood moon issue” I noted. We were alone, Tristan was i
Orion’s POV “ And how dare you speak to me like that? “ I yelled out, causing the young wolves to cower in fear. Alonso crouched beneath me, his eyes already watery as I fought between tearing his body apart and leaving him alone. “ Orion!” Sebastian warned. My anger was an octave each morning and the young wolves were not making it easier by asking unnecessary questions I couldn't answer. I'd trained them the whole morning with Sebastian and Alonso had stated that I was aggressive on them because I didn't have a mate. The same issue I trained them because i wanted to forget . “ Calm down , Orion” Sebastian warned, touching my shoulder. “ Time out, you're out of training for three months, if you don't meet up to the imitation to wolves ceremony,you're getting turned into an omega! “ I stated. “ Alpha I'm sorry” he pleaded.I ignored him and turned to the other wolves. “You saw what happened, you mess up ,you're following him, am I clear ?” “ Yes Alpha!” “ Good now let's c
Delaury's POV The pack was bustling with normal activities when we arrived. Tristan seemed to be lost in thought when we arrived so I let him be.“ Delauryyyyyyyyyyyy” Krystal yelled from the hallway, pouncing on me in the next second. “ Krystal!!!, you're killing me” I managed to say, through muffled speech, she was suffocating me.“ How was it? Tell me everything” she urged, snatching the bags and leading the way to my room. She placed Tristan's infront of his locked bedroom and came downstairs to mine after she was done. “ I'm here now, what happened, did you guys–?” “ Oh my moon, we did nothing Krystal” i yelled , horrified. “ Come on, I hear-” “ Let's talk about what actually happened,Krystal” I pleaded, filling her in from the meeting to the ocean and finally Gillian's attack. “ That idiot is always finding, Tristan’s trouble “ Krystal said, after i was done. “ Gillian?”“ Yes, he has some form of personal beef with Tristan” she whispered ,staring at the door to make su
