Are you team Raiden or Zev?
Atalanta’s pov No good. I am no good. I ran while trying to keep the tears in. I couldn’t let Raiden know how much he had hurt me. He wouldn’t care anyway; it would probably only bring him joy to see the weak little mouse cry because of him. It’s what my parents always told me. No good. Only good to clean up after them. I am a mistake. Never should have been born. Unwanted and not good enough. Never good enough. And it wasn’t just because I am not a boy. I don’t have any talent. I’m not strong. I complain too much, and I’m in the way. I’m too short, and I am weak, dumb, and a waste of space. For a little while, I thought maybe people here would think differently. For a second, I thought that maybe my parents were wrong. But they aren’t. I’m no good. I am pretty sure I’m actually the opposite of good, considering the thoughts I’ve been having. Becoming friends with werewolves? Having dirty thoughts about werewolves? Caring about them? They are monsters, even if t
Zev’s povSuzie grabbed Atalanta’s back before class; we couldn’t see her, but she was never late to class. So she figured we’d meet Atalanta there. When class started and Atalanta wasn’t there yet, I felt some worry, and I could see Suzie looking around as well.The three of us had all begun to care for Atalanta in our own way. It wasn’t hard to do. While I hated the term little mouse, I understood why Raiden used it. Atalanta always seemed on edge, and she was so vulnerable.That quality was dangerous, especially here, surrounded by alpha males and cunning shewolves who wanted nothing more than to be a Luna.The teacher had randomly paired people, although the more I looked around, the more it became clear that he had picked new students and combined them with students that had been here for at least six months.Dylan was paired with Atalanta, but she wasn’t there yet. Mr. Bianco offered to pair up with Dylan, but she rushed in.The teacher had already explained some of what we were
Raiden’s pov“Stay here!” Mr. Bianco growled at me. “I will deal with you later.” He got some guys to help carry Dylan out of the gym. The motherfucker couldn’t walk. He couldn’t see either, since I beat his face to a pulp. There weren't enough curse words to describe the anger I felt for the bastard. I wish I would have killed him, but I was happy that he would be in pain for a few days or more.I had watched from a distance, making sure Dylan wasn’t pushing Atalanta too much. It was clear she had no training. Even simple things, like hitting Dylan, she didn’t do right. Not only did she start with her thumb inside her fingers, making it likely to break, she didn't use her whole body, only her arm. Dylan didn't show her how to stand in a figting stance, howBut instead of teaching her the right way, he just kept barking orders at her. I couldn't, however, spend the entire class staring at her as if I were some sort of stalker. She looked really good, too. She was filling out her spor
Atalanta’s povRaiden did a number on Dylan. Did that mean what I thought it did? Did Raiden beat Dylan to the point of becoming unrecognizable? I had never seen anyone look like that.Did he do it for me?He said I was no good. Why would he help me?Raiden saved me.But why?The questions kept repeating in my head as the hours passed by. Luckily, my throat hurt, so Suzie didn’t force me to talk by asking me questions. Instead, she had offered to help me get into something a bit more comfortable, which I had declined for now.Because all I wanted to do was rest. Suzie watched me like a hawk while I tried to get some sleep. Every time I looked around the room, I saw her staring at me as if she were scared I would drop dead at any minute.Why was Suzie nice? I had been hurt before, but no one had ever cared.An hour later, Mr. Bianco had stopped by to apologize to me. I didn’t understand why. He wasn't the one who hurt me. Besides, it was just me. I had gotten hurt plenty of times, and n
Raiden’s povZev came back from visiting Atalanta looking like he had seen a ghost. Was our little mouse that badly hurt?“Everything go okay?” I asked, not trying to show how worried I really was.“Yeah, um, fine. She looked perfect. I mean, not perfect. Um. I don’t know. I need a shower.” Zev said, sounding frazzled.What the hell happened there?While I wanted to see her to make sure she was okay, I knew it wasn’t a good idea. I doubt she wanted me there anyway, and I surely knew better than to go to her right now. If I saw how hurt she really was, I’d probably go finish the job and kill Dylan for real this time.Not that I could stay away from our little mouse for long, even if I wanted to. I had to train the mouse to become a wolf. An impossible task and one I really didn’t want. How could I possibly stop this stupid crush or whatever obsession I had when I was going to be training her?Training meant touching. Being close. Smelling her. Damn, it was going to be impossible not to
Atalanta’s pov“He’s just cranky,” Suzie reassured me after Raiden stormed off. But I knew it was more than that. Once again, I had made life harder for someone. It was my inability to fight and to keep a low profile that had caused problems.The day had started off great. Suzie had woken me up very early in the morning by singing Happy Birthday. I didn’t even notice the decorations and presents; I was too surprised that she had remembered.The song would have honestly been enough.I felt so guilty accepting the gifts she had bought me.“They’re from me, Zev, and Raiden,” Suzie clarified after putting present after present on my bed.I had never gotten a gift, and now I had a few dozen lying around me. It was so overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to start.Every time I tried to argue that it was too much, Suzie would scold me and say that not accepting the gift would be an insult to our friendship.“It’s like half of what girls like Lisa get for their birthdays, and to be honest, I
Zev’s povSuzie offered to buy some supplies yesterday while I helped Atalanta study. Apparantly, she needed to train her brain, according to Suzie, who was very worried about Atalanta’s health.She looked fine.Yeah, of course she wasn’t fine. Her hand hurt, her wrist was sore, and it was clear her throat wasn’t fine either. You could tell it hurt to swallow and talk, not that Atalanta would ever say that. It took me a while to feel comfortable sharing my feelings, but Ethan, Grace, and my therapist helped me with that.They showed me that showing emotions or asking for help wasn't a sign of weakness but of strength. Admitting your feelings takes guts; hiding them is far easier.That didn’t mean that I was always upfront about my feelings or shared everything I was thinking about or struggling with. Some things are just too big to let out.But I feel like Atalanta holds everything in. “So how much homework have you still got to do?” I asked Atlanta.She grabbed some papers from her
Atalanta’s povArcher was right. I was trying so hard to keep my head down and not be the center of attention, but everything that happened with Dylan and me hanging out with Zev and Raiden made people talk and stare.Nobody said anything outright, mostly because Raiden kept growling at anyone who came close to me.He didn’t want to be close to me either.There was a sense of relief knowing I wouldn’t have to tolerate his teasing today, but for some reason I missed it. Raiden always tried to distract me during class, whispering things in my ear or touching me somewhere. And now he seems to be ignoring me.It was obvious that he was angry with me. If I had done better at training, he wouldn’t have pulled Dylan off me.I’ve heard stories about how aggressive werewolves can be, especially alpha males. That’s probably why Raiden beat up Dylan so badly. He wanted to help me but lost control; now he’s being punished for it.How will Raiden be during training? Will he be as rough as Dylan is?
Raiden’s pov‘Maybe we should just wait for the next one?’ I asked Zev back when we watched our mate go through hell to deliver our babies.It had been a brutal pregnancy. Not just one, but two giant babies in a tiny but beautiful body. It takes a lot out of a person.Remember when I complained about having too much sex? Well, our sweet little mouse was on bed rest for almost half her pregnancy, so there wasn’t much sex at all…What we did have was love.Fuck, I love our mate.Zev and I treated her like our queen, making sure she didn’t need to lift a finger. While she tried to shield us from her pain, we didn’t let her, taking as much from her as we could.One of us was always with her. Zev and our mate read books together, while we watched movies and talked about everything and anything. Suzie came by a lot, and so did the rest, to keep her distracted from not being able to do much.You know our little mouse has a hard time not doing anything, so being in bed for several months was h
Zev’s pov“Do you want to do the honors?” Lana asked me.“Shouldn’t you or Raiden tell everyone?” I replied as I played with my mate's hair.Raiden smiled at me, “well, you did all the hard work, so you deserve it more.”I laughed, “hard work? Weren't you the one who started complaining one month in because you were getting tired of having sex multiple times a day?”“While it was hard work, it was also very satisfying…." Raiden said, staring at our mate with lust in his eyes. "But you were doing the real hard work, watching me come inside our mate for months while you couldn’t.” Raiden replied with a wink. “But now we can go back to our regular positions!”“I think that might make him even happier than me being pregnant,” Lana giggled.“Almost, little wolf of mine, almost.” Raiden bended over to kiss Lana. He stood back up straight and looked at me, “Hey, man. I was thinking. We should let all the kids have the same last name.”“All the kids? How many do you think we’ll have?” I laughe
Okay, I know, I was supposed to write the final chapters, but then I suddenly thought about the twin brothers. and I started coming up with another idea and I had to write two more chapters....So. Now you can choose lol.Either Kiana or Kai.This story would be called Hunting my rogue or something along those lines.It starts a bit sad and is about second chance mates.chapter 1:Liraz’s pov“You need to run, Lee.”“No, Mom… You’re strong. You can do this! Just fight it.” I tried. I didn’t want to go. She had held it back for so long.Mom shook her head as tears ran down her face. Her hands had begun to turn into claws, and fur began to appear on her skin. “No, sweetie. It’s time. Go, please.”“But, -““Liraz!” Mom growled. “You listen to your mother for one damn time!”I bared my neck in submission, feeling the power of her growl. “I’m sorry, Mom, I’m just…”“Don’t apologize, Lee. Just run!” Mom said. I could hear the pain in her voice as she was trying to hold her wolf back."Maybe,
Once again, don't read this if you don't want any possible spoilers.This one is a bit shorter, I am probably going to add some more to it once I really start writing. But for now it's enough to paint a picture of Torin I think. And pleae let me know what you think.......chapter 2 : BetterTorin’s pov‘You need to be more careful,’ Troy, my wolf, said the third time the vermin fell off his back.I could have let him handle the run. He would have been more gentle with the girl. But she needed to learn her place.To her, my hatred probably came out of nowhere. But I had learned to hate her family from the moment I had been born.For appearances sake, I had to show respect to the alpha heirs. I could even tolerate the brother. Ruan seemed to know his place and opted to attend gamma training instead of alpha training. But the vermin especially got on my nerves.Ardale used to mean something. It was a school exclusively for future alphas and betas. Then they let future gammas join a
So, I was thinking if I should write a spinoff about one of the trio's kids. But to do that, I needed to come up with their names, how many kids they have, and a bunch of other stuff.I can't write an ending and then change some of the story for the sequel.So I decided to write two chapters, just to see if it could work.This isn't set in stone, and it kind of depends on your comments if this becomes canon. If it does, I'll use what I've written in these chapters as a basis for the end.So if you would rather not read any potential spoilers, you can skip these chapters.The story would be called "Hunting My Bully" Or something along those lines.Chapter 1: Vermin.Kiana’s pov“There she is….I told you you don't belong here.” Torin growled. His eyes locked with mine and in them was pure hatred. “Vermin, you can run, but I’ll find you…”Honestly, I thought my time at Ardale would be different. My siblings all went here and had a great time. As a matter of fact, two of my brothers still
Raiden’s pov“So how long do you think it will take?” I asked after fucking my mate for the fourth time today. “Not that I’m complaining, but I’m not sure we can keep this up.”Atalanta giggled, “are you tired, Raiden?”“No!” I scoffed.“He is,” Zev said.“No, you are!” I shouted at my friend, who just came out of the shower.“I’m ready to go again and again.”Zev and Atalanta both laughed, “it’s fine to admit you’re tired.”“I’m not fucking tired!” I argued. “I just need, like, a tiny break. Just like a day or so? No, not even a day. Like an afternoon? Or an hour?”Atalanta kissed me, “I actually read it’s better not to do it too much because of something to do with sperm count? Once a day should be enough, but I was enjoying all the attention.”“Greedy little mate, aren’t you?” I replied, kissing her with passion as I slipped my tongue in.“Hey, you asked for a break!” Zev scoffed.“See! You’re worn out too,” I said, as I broke away from my beautiful mate.Zev shrugged, “fine. I am.
Zev’s pov“I’ve missed you!” Suzie said, as she gave Lana a big hug.“And what about me?” Raiden scoffed.“Yeah, not so much.” Suzie replied with a sly smile. “I actually like running this pack without you. It’s much easier.”“Shut up.” Raiden chuckled.“And Zev?” Lana asked as she let go of Suzie. Raiden immediately snatched our mate under his, tucket into his armpit. Greedy guy.‘Well, you did get her to yourself for two whole days…’ Rishi pointed out.“I missed Zev a bit.” Suzie admitted with a wink. “Mostly to help out with Ven. He was really busy all the time. I didn’t realize how much work you two do.”“Really?!” I jokingly scoffed. “We do most of the work!”“Uhm… I’m the damn Alpha. I do most of the work.” Raiden said, making himself even bigger than usual. If he were a gorilla, this would be the moment he’d slap his chest. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if he still might do it.“Yeah, whatever you think, big guy.” Suzie said, as she rolled her eyes. “But tell me everything;
Raiden’s pov“Can we talk?” Zev asked me, as he stepped into my office.Suzie and our little wolf were out shopping. One of Atalanta’s brothers had a birthday coming up, and my mate was worried her gift wouldn’t be good enough.No matter how much Zev and I tried to reassure her, she was still worried.I didn’t really get it, but, well, I wasn’t raised by psychos.Things were well. Atalanta had asked me and Zev yesterday if we thought her dad would like it if she started calling him Dad instead of Tharon. We both said yes; that man obviously loved her. He's probably going to cry when she does call him dad.And so did the rest of the family.I must admit, Tharon’s mate Mara wasn’t exactly thrilled at first. It was just a shock to her to realize her mate had fathered a child with someone else. But like anyone, once she got to know Atalanta, she loved her.Her brothers were funny, though. Especially the oldest seemed very protective of Atalanta. And her little sisters love Atalanta and fol
Zev’s pov“So, how did it go this time?” I asked Lana.She smiled at me, a real smile with her eyes squinting and her cheeks so adorably round. “Good. Really good.”She has gone to see her father a few times now, and he has introduced her to the rest as well. Every time, either Raiden and I both went with her or one of us did. This time it was Raiden’s turn, while I kept an eye on the pack with Suzie and Stephen.Things were good. Not just between Lana and her father, but inside the pack as well. Even outside of the pack.We had formed a plan with our allies. We were done hiding from the hunters. We weren’t actively going to hunt them, but we were done playing defense.So the moment a hunter was spotted in one of our areas, we made it our mission to find the hunters and take them out. Soon the hunters started realizing their chances of actually beating us in a fair fight weren’t that high.Taking us out one by one was easy, but taking out an entire pack? None so easy at all.With Lana’
