4 years ago....
The mix of vulnerability, overwhelming emotions, the weight of my struggles, the pain of grief and loss, all seemed to converge upon me at once. I found myself screaming beneath the pouring rain, feeling utterly lost with no one to talk to, consumed by a sense of being used, dumped, and devoid of purpose.
As the rain came down harder, I screamed even louder, a surge of intense heat overtaking my body. Suddenly, an excruciating pain like no other coursed through me, causing me to collapse onto my knees. In that moment, the memory of my first shift flooded back to me. This sensation was similar, and as my bones began to crack, I realized that I was shifting.
Moments later, I found myself in my wolf form, my white fur shimmering in the rain. A profound sense of redemption, joy, and happiness washed over me as I embraced my wolf identity for the second time.
Contemplating my next move, I pondered whether I should return to my pack, torn between the memories of my past human life and the allure of my wolf existence.
No they don't deserve me, after everything I've been through I'd never return to a horrific pack like the Silvermoon. They were the cause of my distress, they won't delight in my joy.
Picking up my bag with my mouth I sprinted off into a direction. I didn't know where I was going, soon the rain stopped, I glanced up at the sky confused. There behold was a rainbow in the sky, usually it would be in the day but never in the night?
I ran to my hearts content before finding a tree somewhere, I laid my bag and laid my head to rest contented with a smile on my face.
I lay beneath the sprawling oak tree, its leaves rustling gently in the breeze, providing me with a comforting canopy. The world around me seemed to blur as exhaustion washed over me.
My eyelids grew heavy, and before I could summon the strength to resist, a strong hand gently cradled me, effortlessly lifting me into their arms. The sensation of being carried was both strange and oddly soothing, like a dream merging with reality.
I tried to protest, to utter a word of surprise, but my fatigue was overwhelming. My voice remained trapped within, and all I could do was surrender to the warm embrace, my body aching with weariness. As I drifted away, I felt myself slipping into a deep slumber, the world fading into obscurity.
The next day when I awoke, it was with a start, my surroundings unfamiliar. The soft light filtering through a modest window revealed a small yet cozy room. I was nestled beneath a warm quilt, and the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air.
I blinked away the remnants of sleep, my eyes scanning the room as I began to piece together my surroundings. An initial sense of confusion gave way to mild alarm as I realized I was dressed in fresh clothes that weren't mine. The realization set my heart racing, questions swirling in my mind. How had I come to be here? And who had dressed me?
My gaze darted to a corner of the room, where my bag lay neatly placed. Relief washed over me as I recognized my belongings. At least, it was some semblance of familiarity.
Upon contemplating my situation, the door quietly swung open, and two women entered. They both wore friendly smiles, their expressions warm and welcoming, but my fear lingered because I didn't know them.
The first woman had a gentle demeanor, her kind eyes framed by glasses. Her dark hair was pulled back in a neat bun. The second woman was younger, with a more vibrant energy about her, and her cheerful disposition seemed to contrast with my unease. She had a warm, freckled complexion and curly red hair that added a burst of color to the room.
"Hello, dear," the older woman began. "I'm Nurse Emily, and this is Nurse Sophie. You're in safe hands here."
I tried to muster a response but found my voice caught in my throat. My heart pounded as I struggled to process the situation, my wariness overshadowing the friendly introduction of these unfamiliar caregivers.
"What is your name?" They inquired, their eyes searching for any sign of truth in my response.
I stood there, considering whether it was safe to disclose my real name. My heart raced as I weighed the risks of revealing my true identity, the fear of being found overshadowing my desire to be honest. In the end, caution prevailed, and I decided to provide them with a fabricated name.
"My name's Alice," I spoke with a degree of uncertainty, concealing the truth, while my mind raced with the weight of the secret I was determined to protect.
My skepticism weighed heavily as I managed to croak out a question, my voice trembling, "Where am I?"
Nurse Emily began to respond, her words trailing off after just a syllable, "How can you not know your at, Silvercr-"
But before she could continue, Nurse Sophie nudged her gently and took over, her tone reassuring, "You're at Silvercreek pack, dear. We found you outside on the ground, cold and shivering with no clothes. We couldn't leave you like that, so we brought you here to help."
The revelation hit me with a sudden realization. Silvercreek was the second biggest pack, the only one that rivaled my very own, Silvermoon. It was a revelation that left me with a mix of emotions, from astonishment to an underlying sense of vulnerability, given the unfamiliarity of my surroundings.
Their explanation brought a mixture of relief and confusion. The fragmented words of Nurse Emily had piqued my curiosity, but the thought of being found in such a vulnerable state left me feeling vulnerable and bewildered.
Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie exchanged a concerned glance, their curiosity evident as they continued to inquire about my situation. Nurse Emily gently asked, "Do you remember where you're from, dear? And what were you doing outside the Silvercreek pack borders so late at night with no clothes?"
I bit my lip, fully aware of the answers to their questions, but the fear of what might happen if I divulged the truth kept me silent. A shiver of apprehension ran through me, and I couldn't help but imagine the consequences of speaking up. The idea of being brought back to whatever circumstances had led me to that vulnerable moment filled me with dread.
Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie, sensing my reticence, exchanged another understanding look, their compassion evident in their eyes. Without pressing further, they simply nodded and continued with their gentle care, offering a sense of security that, for now, outweighed my fear of disclosure.
Nurse Sophie, recognizing my hesitation, spoke softly, "It's alright, dear. We understand you might be scared or not want to talk about it. Just know that we're here to help you, and we'll do our best to make sure you're safe and comfortable."
Nurse Emily cleared her throat gently before sharing, "We ran some tests to make sure you were alright, dear. It was important to ensure your well-being after we found you in such a state."
I couldn't help but look at them in shock, my eyebrows furrowing as I stammered, "You... you ran tests on me without asking? What kind of tests?"
Nurse Sophie responded with a reassuring smile, "I understand you might be surprised, but it was all to make sure you're okay. Please, forgive us if we didn't ask first. We were only concerned for your health."
Nurse Emily continued, "You were burning up last night with a high fever, dear. But today, you're doing perfectly fine. It seems your condition has improved, and that's a good sign."
Their explanation put my mind somewhat at ease, though I was still taken aback by the sudden medical attention I had received. I nodded in understanding, slowly beginning to accept their good intentions.
Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie exchanged another glance, their expressions filled with a gentle curiosity and concern. Nurse Emily spoke softly, "We noticed something quite unusual. You have the scent of a wolf, but it's not associated with any particular pack or that of a rogue. Can you tell us more about this?"
I remained silent, the weight of my secret pressing on me, keeping my lips sealed.
Nurse Sophie broke the silence, her tone compassionate, "You must be hungry, dear. There's breakfast downstairs, and once you've had a meal, you and your baby are free to go."
I blinked in astonishment, "Baby? What baby?"
Nurse Emily's words hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I could feel my eyes widening in disbelief as she gently placed a hand on my shoulder. Her voice was filled with tenderness as she delivered the unexpected news: "You didn't know? You're with child."
I instinctively placed my hand on my stomach, the realization settling in slowly. When I turned to look at my reflection in the glass, I was taken aback by the dramatic transformation.
My once dark brown hair had turned a stunning snow white, and my tanned skin had become pale and ethereal. My hazel eyes had shifted to a mesmerizing silver, and the change was astonishing. I appeared like a goddess.
The revelation sent a shock-wave through me, rendering me speechless. My mind raced to comprehend the unexpected news.
The discovery of my pregnancy added an entirely new layer of complexity to my situation, one that I hadn't been prepared for, and it left me both amazed and anxious about what lay ahead.
After my shift at the clinic, I returned home, eager to see my son. However, upon entering the house, I was met with an empty space. I ventured outside and, with a keen ear, listened for my son's distinct laughter amidst the pack members.Following the sound, I spotted my son, Matthew, playing with Michael. Their laughter filled the air, creating a heartwarming atmosphere that brought immense joy to my world.I watched from a distance as Michael played with my son, Matthew. Their laughter filled the air, creating a joyful atmosphere that was impossible to ignore. Matthew's bright eyes sparkled with delight, and Michael's warm smile made my heart ache.But then, it happened. A sensation I hadn't felt in years coursed through me, a stirring deep within my soul. My wolf, ever vigilant and attuned, clawed at my consciousness, as if trying to break free. It was as if she sensed something, someone. My mate.Alpha Dominic.The intriguing revelation left me torn. While I longed to explore thi
Alpha Dominic's povAs I stepped into Oracle Sage's study, a room steeped in ancient wisdom and shadows, I felt a deep sense of admiration.The dimly lit room seemed frozen in time, its wooden bookshelves towering high, adorned with leather-bound volumes that whispered secrets of centuries gone by.Each book appeared to have a story of its own, as if they were guardians of the past, ready to reveal their ancient wisdom to those who sought it.The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the pages, adding an ethereal quality to the place, like a portal to another world where the past and the future converged."Oracle Sage," I began, a tone of respect in my voice, "I have come to seek your counsel, for the path ahead is shrouded in uncertainty, and your wisdom is a guiding light."Sage's perceptive gaze, with its uncanny ability to discern truths that often-eluded others, seemed to peer into the depths of my soul. Her serene presence and the stillness of the room made me acutely a
Freya's pov"Mumma, I met a new friend today!" Matthew exclaimed with a big smile."Give Mumma a hug," I said, opening my arms. He rushed into my embrace, and I held him tightly, overwhelmed with the feeling of missing him throughout the day."Do you know how much your Mumma missed you today, Matthew?" I asked, planting a loving kiss on his cheek as he giggled in response."Yes, Mamma," he giggled, his eyes filled with the innocence of childhood.I beamed with pride, ruffling his hair. "You're such a good boy, Matthew, and Mamma is so lucky to have you.""Mumma, I made another friend today," he excitedly told me once again.I couldn't help but find it a bit strange. My son seemed more eager to share stories of his new friends than the potentially life-changing secret he harbored – his emerging supernatural abilities. I wondered when and how he had discovered these unique powers, and why he hadn't mentioned them yet.I smiled at him, my heart warming at his excitement. "Who's this new
Frozen in shock, I couldn't budge or utter a word as his menacing growl filled the air. His massive black wolf loomed, startlingly conspicuous. How had I missed his presence, and the pressing question lingered – did he catch a glimpse of my true wolf form?A surge of awareness hit me when his eyes trailed over my body, snapping me back to reality. Swiftly, I snatched my clothes and dressed, all the while feeling the weight of his unwavering gaze. My face burned as the blunt intensity of the moment unfolded, a rush of blood adding to the surreal encounter.As he shifted back into his human form, my eyes traced the mesmerizing shift from wolf to human. I found myself captivated, taking in every nuance of the metamorphosis.Yet, before I could fully grasp the significance of the moment, a rush of self-consciousness swept over me, and I averted my gaze as he effortlessly slipped into a pair of shorts.The contours of his chest were a testament to raw strength – a canvas of stone-hard, wel
Alpha DominicOpting for a run to distance myself from Linda, my chosen mate, I noticed someone intriguing. As I approached, my wolf grew increasingly restless. Since Freya's departure, my wolf had been on edge, but this restlessness reached a peak, reminiscent of the day she ran away.Sensing something amiss, a growl escaped me as I drew nearer. The scent of this person was a peculiar blend, intertwined with that of Alpha Scott from the Silvermoon pack. Questions arose as to who this individual might be.As she turned around my breath caught in my throat as I stared into the depth of my mate, this was my mate. At first I thought it was a second mate but I knew Freya, even with the change of her appearance she was still my Freya.My wolf erupted in a feral howl, clamoring for his mate, Freya. My own desire surged, captivated by her stunning beauty.As I shifted, I couldn't help but admire her, a vision of allure, even as she covered her luscious body during our conversation. It took e
Upon getting home, my immediate instinct kicked in – I went on full lock-down, casting an invisible shield around my home. No one could find me or Mathew, and breaking in became impossible.But reality slapped me – Alpha Dominic, my pursuer, my mate who had rejected me had found me. The tension built up as I paced back and forth, clueless about my next move.My thoughts inevitably circled back to Alpha Dominic, and the undeniable truth hit me – Alpha Dominic was still as handsome as ever.There was this magnetic pull I couldn't ignore, yet I hadn't caved into the alluring temptations. Now, faced with the prospect of a future encounter, resisting that connection seemed like an uphill battle.How on earth would I navigate this if, or more likely when, we crossed paths again? The question lingered, leaving me grappling with the complexity of emotions and the impending uncertainty.The contemplation gripped me – was it too late to take Mathew and vanish once more into the shadows? Going b
As I grasped the doorknob and turned it, a sudden rush of surprise widened my eyes as I discovered Alpha Scott on the other side. The unexpected encounter sent a jolt through me, but amidst the shock, a resolute understanding took hold – there was a pressing need for a conversation."Alpha Scott," the simultaneous utterance of our names by both Michael and me hung in the air, a reflection of our shared surprise."Alice, Michael," Alpha Scott's acknowledgment resonated in the room, his gaze shifting seamlessly between us.Maintaining a composed demeanor, Alpha Scott gracefully scooped up Mathew into his arms, initiating a playful yet mature interaction that instantly infused the room with a different kind of happiness.The infectious joy of Mathew, always a beacon of cheerfulness, prompted a collective cheer, his little laughter echoing through the room. A smile graced my lips seeing him so carefree.Gently placing Mathew back on the ground, Alpha Scott shifted his attention towards me
"I have to go," I uttered, the words hanging in the air like a weighted secret as the realization hit me hard—Alpha Dominic had my son. The urgency clawed at my chest, a mix of fear and desperation pooling in my veins.As Alpha Scott and I approached, the playground seemed to blur through a haze of anxiety. Then, amidst the laughter of children and the distant hum of the pack life, I spotted a joyous image.There, in the midst of it all, was my precious Mathew, his giggles dancing through the air like musical notes with his father Dominic."Such a beautiful image, isn't it? Don't tell me you can live with ruining such a beautiful thing," Alpha Scott whispered beside me, his voice a gentle reminder of the delicate balance hanging in the air.As I stood there, torn between the beauty of the scene and the questions that lingered, I couldn't escape the realization that life had taken an unexpected turn, presenting me with a choice that held the power to redefine the very essence of why I
Epilogue4 years later.......I woke up with a long, satisfying stretch, my muscles still languid from sleep. The sheets shifted beneath me, cooler than I expected. I blinked, reaching out, but the bed was empty—no sign of Ryan or Dylan. My lips tugged into a frown as I shifted under the covers, feeling the tender soreness between my thighs. The memory of our earlier intimacy washed over me, making me bite my lip as my face warmed with the thought.With a soft sigh, I pushed myself up looking at the wall clock. When I saw the time, my frown deepened. Seven at night? How had I slept this long? Where were they?I hurried to get dressed, still wondering where the twins were, when I stepped out of the room only to be immediately swept into Dylan’s arms. His lips claimed mine without warning, his kiss teasing and full of that familiar possessiveness. I barely had time to process before he pulled away, smirking down at me."How are you?" he asked."Good now that I'm able to locate at least
The waiting is excruciating. Jessica and I sit side by side in the clinic, both of us fidgeting nervously as we await our blood test results. When the nurse finally hands us our envelopes, I feel like I might throw up from the anticipation.Jessica opens hers first. I watch her face intently, my heart pounding in my chest. Then, a smile breaks across her face.“I’m clear,” she says, relief evident in her voice. “No toxins.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. “Oh, thank goodness,” I say, genuinely happy for her.Jessica and Morgan embrace, their joy evident. With trembling hands, I open my own envelope. My eyes scan the paper, searching for the results. And there it is – no toxins detected. A wave of relief washes over me so intensely that I feel lightheaded for a moment.“I’m clear too,” I announce, my voice barely above a whisper.Eager to share the good news with Ryan and Dylan, I get to my feet. But as I look around, I don’t see them in the clinic. Stepping out i
Dylan pulls me closer, his fingers brushing over the curve of my hip. A soft gasp escapes me, but I stay silent, caught between them. They know exactly what they’re doing—teasing, making me crave more.His lips find my neck, leaving a trail of heat as Ryan’s hand slips between my thighs. My pulse quickens, and a shiver runs down my spine as their touches grow more insistent.“You’re so wet already,” Ryan mutters, his breath hot against my ear. “And we haven’t even started.”I can barely breathe as their hands work together, stripping me bare, leaving me exposed to their touch. The nightdress slips away, and the cool air hits my skin, but it’s nothing compared to the heat of their bodies pressing against mine. I can feel Dylan’s growing hardness behind me as Ryan’s fingers dip lower, sliding between my slick folds.Ryan’s hand grips my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes as he strokes his hardness against my wetness. “Open that pretty mouth, Lily.”I obey, parting my lips as he slides hi
Night has fallen, and I stand in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. The nightdress I’ve chosen is skimpy—practically scandalous. The soft, silky fabric barely reaches mid-thigh, and the neckline plunges just enough to be provocative without being too obvious. A mischievous smile tugs at my lips as I run my hands over the material, smoothing it out.It’s definitely not the kind of outfit someone worried about abstinence would wear. But hey, I’m just getting ready for bed—nothing more, nothing less.The two men sat up in bed, seemingly preoccupied. Their eyes sparing me no glance. I slip into the bed with a deliberate slowness, the cool silk of my skimpy nightdress brushing against my skin. It clings in all the right places, barely covering anything. The plunging neckline and dangerously short hem are no accident. I settle between Ryan and Dylan, now feeling their intense gazes on me, pretending to be utterly oblivious.“Comfortable?” Alpha Dylan asks, his voice filled with
I settle back down on the exam table, looking between Ryan and Dylan with a mix of confusion and annoyance.“Okay, what exactly is going on here? What kind of mission were you two on that has you thinking I’m pregnant?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.Ryan and Dylan exchange a glance but ignore my question, their focus shifting to the doctor. Their dismissiveness stings, fueling my growing annoyance. I narrow my eyes at them.“I’m not doing any pregnancy test!” I declare, turning on my heel to leave. But I don’t make it far. In an instant, Dylan’s hand wraps around my wrist, pulling me back with a firm yet gentle tug. I gasp, spinning around to face them both, my frustration boiling over into something more.....naughty while in Dylan's arm.It was sad how I couldn't think clearly for a second in the arms of my mates.They guide me back to the chair, almost too gently, and I find myself sitting before them again. Their hands are folded, their expressions serious, as if they’re a
Lily’s PovI can’t stop pacing. Back and forth, back and forth across the twins living room floor. My heart races, and I can’t shake this gnawing feeling in my gut. Ryan and Dylan are out there, facing who knows what kind of danger, and I’m stuck here, helpless.“Lily, please try to calm down,” Freya’s gentle voice breaks through my spiraling thoughts. I glance over to where she’s sitting on the couch, little Alice fast asleep against her shoulder. “I can sense that they’re okay. Your abilities are probably just a bit off since you’ve only recently gotten them.”I want to believe her, I really do. But the fear is almost paralyzing, I mean my vision looked so real and it’s already been two days what’s taking them so long? Thalia should be using her teleportation go back and forth plus the dark witches were only of a hundred in number. “What if something’s gone wrong?” I whisper, more to myself than to Freya. “What if the dark witches—”“Have faith in your mates,” Freya cuts in, her ton
Alpha Dylan's PovRyan comes to stand beside me, his expression calm but with that unmistakable glint in his eyes. I catch his gaze, a knowing smirk playing on my lips. “So,” I ask, unable to resist the jab, “did you manage to put Lily to sleep?”Ryan just smirks back, his eyes gleaming with a mix of pride and satisfaction. “What do you think?” he replies, his tone dripping with confidence as he begins to walk off.I can’t help but chuckle, falling in step beside him. It was obvious we both knew exactly how to calm her down. It was only a pity that I wasn't able to be there to assist.“She may not be too happy when she wakes up, though,” Ryan adds, his voice more serious now, though still with that lingering edge of amusement.“Of course not,” I reply, shaking my head with a slight smile. “She’s a stubborn one.”Ryan chuckle, a low sound that rumbles in his chest. “It wouldn’t be too exciting if she weren’t a fighter, would it?”I chuckle along with him, appreciating the truth in his
Before I can catch my breath, he pulls out and flips me onto all fours, his hands firm yet gentle as he positions me on my knees. I barely have time to process what’s happening before he’s thrusting into me from behind, his hands gripping my hips as he takes me again, deeper and harder than before.The new angle sends sparks of pleasure shooting through me, and I gasp, my fingers digging into the sheets as he drives into me with relentless force. The sensation is almost too much, the intense pleasure mingling with the soreness of being taken so thoroughly.“Ryan,” I moan, my voice hoarse from screaming. “Oh, God… yes, please… don’t stop!”He doesn’t. Ryan’s pace is punishing, each thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. I can feel the tension building again, the pressure coiling tight in my stomach as he takes me over and over, pushing me closer and closer to the edge.“Fuck, Lily,” he growls, slapping my ass. “No one apart from my brother and me will ever have you like this
We make our way inside Ryan's lavish home passing the young maid who glares at me in my mate's arms making me smirk at her jealousy which was now obvious.Once we were in his room Alpha Ryan’s grip tightens as he tosses me onto the bed, the force of his possessive nature sending a thrill down my spine. My breath hitches as I land on the soft sheets, heart pounding wildly in my chest. Before I can fully process the moment, Ryan is already on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress, making me feel utterly claimed.I realized they seemed to love throwing me onto the bed.His eyes are dark, swirling with a mix of desire and something more primal—something that sends a shiver through my entire being. Ryan’s hand cups my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “You’re ours, Lily,” he growls, his voice low and rough. “And you don’t ever pull a stunt like that again.”The memory of stripping off my clothes in public flashes in my mind, I bite my lips in a teasing manner watching as his
