81. Night Terror

Zev’s pov

It was much easier to deal with the idea of Atalanta being half werewolf than dealing with what my Alpha and Luna had told me regarding my parents.

I had confided in them over the years about my reluctance to take on a mate. Raiden knew better than anyone why I didn’t want a mate, but even he couldn’t understand how deep my fears rang.

It was so much easier to blame the death of my mother for my dad breaking down. In my mind, it had been like night and day. The severed mate bond turned him from a great father and fantastic mate into a monster.

Losing the love of his life literally broke him.

But that wasn’t the case. My mom losing her life had only been part of the reason for my dad's behavior. It were his choices that started the breakdown between his wolf and himself.

But the hardest part to come to terms with was that my dad had always been capable of hurting those he loved. Maybe not as brutally as he hurt me, but there had always been something inside my father that made

    Atalanta’s povAfter Raiden and I had phone sex, something I had never heard about until that day, we talked a bit more.“Go sleep in one of my shirts; it will help.” Raiden had made the suggestion, and I smiled just thinking about how comfortable he was around me.His clothes were so nice and expensive, yet he didn’t care that I slept in one of them. His t-shirt was like a dress for me, but I loved smelling him all around me.“And don’t wear any underwear; when I come home, I want to smell your pussy on my shirt.”I blushed, thinking how strange werewolves and their obsessions with scents can be.‘You’re one of them, remember...’ Artemis teased me.My body had felt tired; my mind was busy with everything that had happened today, but eventually the tiredness of my body won.Raiden had stayed on the phone, promising only to hang up when I fell asleep.However, as soon as I drifted off to sleep, I experienced the most terrifying nightmare I've experienced since arriving here. It was lik

    Raiden’s povThe anger I felt toward Zev did not go away, even after speaking to Atalanta. Although I was relieved she had a good night's sleep, I still felt anxious and pissed off that I wasn't there for her right now.It probably didn't help that everyone here, including the alphas, was out to get me.‘They’re not,’ Atlas tried to reassure me.Sure, a few seemed to be fine with the idea of Atalanta as my mate, but they were still too curious for my liking. Even if they weren’t arguing for her imprisonment or to be questioned like the rest were, they still wanted to know more about her.My dad had been right to hide her identity, because most of the morning Alphas had been asking me questions about my mate. How fast could she heal, could she use the mindlink, how could she handle poison, could she fight better or run faster than humans? What would it take for her to be able to shift?And those were the “nice’” questions! Then there were the weird questions about our mate-bond and the

    Zev’s pov “Go see Grace, because I am losing my patience with you, Zev!” Alpha Ethan barked at me. I had shown him considerable disrespect, but I could only tolerate so much. Why, in Goddess name, did they think this was a good idea? Just a few minutes ago, I had asked my former mate to accept my rejection. And now they wanted me to spend the entire day protecting her. It felt like an insult, especially since both of them knew how much I was already dealing with. ‘She can’t accept the rejection; her wolf is already weak,’ Rishi whined. She said she could, so why did it hurt to think about it? Wouldn't Atalanta accepting my rejection solve everything? It would severe the remainder of the bond between us, finally giving me a chance to move on. It wasn’t like Atalanta felt the bond anyway. She has a wolf now; shouldn't she at least feel something? I stomped over to Luna’s office, which was next door to her mates. “Zev… So, Ethan says you have issues with our request?” “He didn’t

    Atalanta’s pov“You’re here…”He was stroking my hair, holding me in his arms. Gone was my nightmare; now all I felt was shock and confusion.“You had another nightmare,” Zev admitted, looking awkward as he moved back from me.Another? So he was here yesterday? Artemis had been right.I looked down at him, “and you’re naked...”He quickly grabbed one of Raiden’s pillows and placed it over himself, which I would need to change before Raiden came back tomorrow. I don’t think Raiden would like to sleep with Zev’s dick smell near his head.“It’s Rishi; he shifted and came here when he heard you cry. He feels weirdly attached to you still.”His wolf. Of course. It was his wolf who had forced him to be here. That’s why he’s naked. He shifted back.Zev had been pretty nice to me today. But maybe he just felt bad for me.I wanted to tell Raiden over the phone, but I didn’t think telling him about everything that happened today was a conversation you should have over the phone.Especially not s

    Raiden’s pov“Half of my heart is hurting, and the other half is in love. What if it will always be like that? I deserve to be in pain, but Raiden’s doesn’t.”“Did you ever love me? Really?”“I did. I do.”Those words keep repeating in my mind. She said she deserves to be in pain, which she doesn’t. She’s dealt with enough pain. A mate should not cause pain. Yet she loves him. After everything he did, she still loves him.But what stung the most is that she confided in him and not me.‘Not to mention the fact they were both naked.’ Atlas growled.It had never bothered me before—quite the opposite. I had found it hot seeing Zev with our mouse. But things are different now. He didn’t want her; he rejected her.But I want her. I love Atalanta. I have never wanted someone before as badly as I crave her.It's become an obsession. She’s all I think about, all I care for.And it fucking sucks to know she will never feel the same.I don’t doubt her love for me, but I am not enough.‘Stop that.

    Zev’s pov“Talk me through what happened.”“I don’t want to.” I replied. Rishi had been busy healing me, but it would take another day or two for me to be back to normal.“So... um, you two fought? Was it about Lana? Of course it was…” Suzie asked again.I scoffed, looking at Stephen, who just got home a few hours ago. “Why did you have to tell her?”“I am glad at least someone is telling me anything! It was always the four of us, and now I feel left out,” Suzie pouted on the other side of the screen. “Stupid Alpha won’t let me leave just yet. I am dying to visit you and see all the drama up close.”Stephen was holding his phone up so she could see me, since I couldn’t, because my arm was still healing from being broken in several places.Being thrown out of a glass window kind of does that...Stephen laughed awkwardly. I knew he only told Suzie because he knew she’d answer if it was about any of us. She had been ignoring his advances, telling him to just go find his mate.I also knew

    Suzie’s povNobody probably wants to hear from me. I mean, who would want to hear my thoughts or hear about the stuff I’m going through?I’m meant to be the fun friend, the one that provides some needed advice and sees things others don’t.Like how I knew they were mates before they did.But right now, I don’t want to be just the person they can count on. Or the person who gives them the kick they need.As much as it pains me to admit it, I think I need a kick in the ass right now.From a very young age, I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps. Not just because I’m a daddy’s girl, which I am. But also because it seemed like the perfect job to me.Although you don’t get all the glory that comes with being the Alpha, you also don’t get all the pressure. But you do have an extremely important job and are able to fill it in when Alpha is away.Which means you’re basically like an alpha, without all the stress and fame.But what made me want to do the job the most is that I think I would b

    Atalanta’s pov“I’m back, bitches!” Suzie yelled out.Raiden rolled his eyes, and Zev just stood there, while I couldn’t contain my smile.“Too much? Sorry, you try sitting alone with this man on a plane for hours and see how chippy you come out of it! I think he tried to bore me to death with meaningless facts about your pack or something. After that didn’t work, he just talked about you three…” She said, winking at us. “I should have come here sooner, because you clearly need me.”“Whatever,” Raiden said, his hand on my butt. He loves touching my butt whenever he can.Artemis teased me, causing me to blush, "Just one of the many things he likes to do to your behind."Because of the fight between Zev and Raiden, Alpha Ethan had given them both some time off work to calm down. Which meant Raiden and I had barely left out room.I wasn’t sure it was because Raiden was avoiding Zev or because of all the sex…‘Probably the second one.’We didn’t just have sex. We talked a lot. We ate; we t

    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

  • Hunting for our Mate   New story idea. Spin off.

    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’
